Failing Leaves"

The disintcgration Of the Malone party in
Virginia has been so manifest since the
high handed schemes they endeavored tc
rush through the last Legislature failed that
we shall not be surprised to soon see the
whole rotten craft fall to pieces and the old
lines of'Republicans and Democrats assume
their wontcd shape in Virginia. That Hon.
John f. Massey will be elected as congress
man at large very few persons at all faml-
lar with political affairs will attempt to dis
putc. Mahone's candidates for Congress in
every district will be beaten and routed.
Arthur, the Stalwart peddler in Federal
patronage, will lind that in giving his aid to
Malone with the understanding that Vir-
ginia must go for him in the next presiden-
tial contest, he bargained without the con-
sent of the people of Virginia, aud that Bill.

few OF the prominent men in Virginia who
have turned their backs upon the Boss since
the last election, and every day there are
