Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
+ CHARLoTTEsvILLE, VA, April 81
Mr.. Massey addressed the people o
Albemarle here to day. There was no
y great number of people in town, bu
be had q good audience. He said he haC
not appeared as a complainant agains
his party but he felt it due to himself1anC
to the people to state the causes and rea
sons of the recent action of the Legisla-
ture with reference to himself. He haC
not changed one iota towards the party
STILL A READJUSTER.
His fight was against thvse who were
subverting the principles of the party to
their own personal ends.
He did not approve the Riddleberger
bill. but supported it to give it fair
trial. Il should, however, have been
ratified by the people
Mr. MASSEY ,sien entered into an ex-
piaiatioD OF his personal troubles with
the ring. all of which has heretofore been
published. He paid his respects to Gen
eral Malone. aud declared that the eau,
Gus rules came direct from his hand, and
that all legislation was shaped by him.
He must have heads of departments I'M
der his control; he was in as direct com.
municatfOu with the caucus as the bees
we're with the hive, and no man was or
could be nominated in the caucus OF
whom
MALONE DISAPPROvED
The members were as if they had hall
tiers around their necks, with Malone at
The other end of them
Malone is u man who never forgets an
enemy or rewards a friend q man OF an
inordinate ambition, who would not
hesitate to blot Virginia out of existence
to accomplish his personal ends. 1t
would be the proudest day he (Mahone)
ever had if he Massey had left the par
ty. If any man expected anything of
Malone, success depended VI pom how
low he could become and how submits
siyely he could lick the Boss's feet.
He showed how dangerous were some
of the measures Malone is now trying
to- push through. The judiciary bill
was most iniquitous measure. To
blind the peoples eyes, the districts
were to be reduced to twelve, until the
party had them in its power, when it
was their avowed intention to raise them
again to eighteen.
Mr.. Massey said he would be willing
not to make another dollar while he
lived could he but have the money
which was to be paid to certain leaders
for the passage of
RAILROAD BILLS.
A committee had been sent to New York
to advise the railroad syndicates there
to come forward and use their money
upon certain members to break the dead
lock. The cry out against the railroad
lobby he thought all buncomb.
Next be showed how Mr.. Farr got his
nomination by his own vote, and ex-
posed the iniquity of the bill for the APP
pointment ofgeneral commissioners of
sales
Mr., Massey said he was a Virginian
before he was Readjuster, and that he
is 81 i'll one. and he had just commenced
this fight. He proposed to canvass far
and wide not for himself, hut for Vir-
ginia; for, under the disguise of liberty,
Malone is enalaving the people.
He spoke about one hour and thirty
five minutes and was respectfully heard
by men of all parties 2,
