The Malone organs have made the discov.
cry that the Democracy will support 'any.
body to beat Mahone.'' They infer this
from the recent sharp flank movement
Well, we suspected as much. The Democ-
racy in Virginia is just getting libsralized
enough to run Gen. Malone clear back to
his Notifications at Washington. If every
thing works we'll you will see the General
galIoping into Washington on the evening
of the second Tuesday in November. The
Parson has defeated the General in the
legislature, and now is going to give him a
touch of open field fighting.

4 FRIEND OF THE YOUNG MEN
OF VIRGINIA GONE.

The late VIM. r. Garrison, of New
York, who was fatally hurt in the railroad
disaster near Long Branch, recently, was
a member Of the centennial organization
for the better endowment of Washington
& Lee University. He was unanimously
elected member on account of the gen.
erous interest he had manifested in the
organization and its objects.
He was in the prime of life-only forty
eight years of ale-a man of fine physique
and excellent health, was handsome,
manly man, Of genial, social qualities. and
had inherited the great business capacity
of his father.
He was happily married and had an in
teresting family of sons and daugh tiers
growing up around him; and, being do
nestle in all his tastes, he DEVOTED much
of his time to the society of his home.
He was man of public spirit and gen.
erous feelings-was connected with the
management of large business enterpri-
ses, and identified, by his liberal subscrlp-
tions and otherwise, with different organi-
cations for the relief of the suffering and
afflicted. and for the promotion of the edu-
cation of the people.
He was member Of three of the lead
ing social clubs of the Metropolitan city
the Union League, the Manhattan, and
the New York Club, Of the last of which
he was President.
He was faithful in all the relations of
life, and being man of wealth be could
have done much good had he been spared
to his family and his country. 1t seems
strange that such man should have been
taken in the midst of career of useful
ness. But it makes all the more impress
sive the lesson of the great uncertainty of
life.
The kindly interest manifested by Mr..
Garrison in the patriotic movement in be-
half Of the venerable seat of learning at
Lexington, Va, will cause our Southern
people to feel special regret at the sad dis
aster which resulted in his death.

A BETTER RRP PUBLICAN THAN
CALKTNS

CALklNS.
For the last eight months, Hon John
Paul has represented the 7th district of
Virginia in the national House of Repre-
sentatiyes. In the campaign that preced-
ed his election, he declared he was So bet
ter Democrat" than-well, than any Dem
ocrat who still remained in the Democrat
ic party. How good that is may be infer
red from the fact that he is better Re-
publican than even Calkins, Of Indiana,
il standing by the Republican party
through thick and thin, in places where
even Calkins had to back down, goes for
anything. We recently called attention
to his alacrity in voting to unseat Dibble,
(Dsm.) to give place to Mackey. (Rep.) OF
South Carolina. On the 10th of July he
exhibited still greater alacrity and even
went further in ousting white Democrat
and seating negro in his place, than Mr..
Calkins, the Republican Chairman OF the
Committee on elections was willing to 60.
It was in the case of Tillman, white Dem. J
of South Carolina, whose seat was con.
tested by Smalls, NEGRO Republican,. TILL
man had been returned elected by
eight thousand majority. at the end Of
the debate on the case in the House, the
vote was taken, and Tillman was unseat-
ed by IA to /, the Democrats. including
Fulkerson, of Virginia, refusing to vote
at all. The vote was then taken on seat
ing the negro, Smalls. He WAS seated b,
al to S, the Democrats, including Mr.
Fulkerson, not voting. Mr.. Paul and
Mr.. Calkins were among those who voted
to seat Smalls-but here we extract from
the Congressional Record Of July 20, page
49,:
Mr.. Calkins.-Before the announcement
of this vote, desire simply to say that
conscientiously [ believe this election
should have been referred back to the peo'
pie. My vote does not express my senti.
ment on that subject.
Mr.. Atkins.-What was the remark Of
the gentleman? We did not hear it.
Mr.. Calkins.-Mr. Speaker, desire to
change my vote to s'nO.o Conscientious
back to the people.
Mr.. Randall am sorry you have no
more conscientious men on that side.
The Speaker.-The Chair desires to vOt,
on this question, and votes ''aye.' Their
are al yeas and nays. The second reso
luton is agreed to.
And 30 the matter closed. leaving tn
negro seated, the conscientious Republi
can Chairman of the Election Committe
voting against seating him. and the repre-
sentative of the 18th district of Virgins
voting for it. Not even as sensitive a

about the right of the people to have tn
matter in their own hands again.

It is noticeable fact that within tho
past week or SO in Baltimore the prices Of
Southern wheat and corn have been the
same per pound, thing never known to
have happened there before in the memory
of the oldest grain men. For some time
past the prices have been approximatlng
and on Thursday Of last week they got to-
gether, according to the Sun, in the fol-
lowing manner Il bushel of prime South
eru red wheat sold for 81 20, and q bushel
of prime Southern white corn at $l.12.-
There being 60 pounds to bushel OF
wheat and Sc pounds to bushel of corn
made the price Of each article that day
tw cents per pound. Last Tuesday South
ern red wheat was 81 10 per bushel, max
lag pound of wheat trihe cheaper than
a pound of corn. 1t IS pronounced most
remarkable state Of affairs.

If the Coalition is figuring on any con-
siderable number of Democrats who won It
vote for Mr.. Massey IN November because
they feel that way in July. they will get
left. When Walker was put up in 1869, the
number of intelligent gentlemen in Staun-
ton who declared they wouldn't vote at
all was disheartening. And yet when cleo
ton day came the Democrats voted everv
man on their registration list except one,
and he was out of he city. In fact the feel
ing now abroad among the mass of intelli-
gent people of the State is not unlike that
which prevailed at that election. 1t is once
more a fight for freedom-this time free
dom from une-map rule.

ANOTHER CANDIDATE IN THE

On Wednesday the Straightout State
Republican Committee of Virginia met at
Richmond. The vacancy from the 7th Dis
trict was filled by the election of j. W.
Lurty, of Harrisonburg. in place of 5. M.

the other party committees have done, de-

We see the Malone papers wailing over
a bargain which they suppose has been
made. If it should really turn out that any
Democrat was smart enough to make a
bargain with the Big Four that so far over
laid the Arthur Malone bargain as to break

umphant career in the legislature, then he
shall go sup head" in the gratitude Of the

ured by the character of the speech he

the forensic calvary dashes of Harry Rid

The certificates of good character, often
extravagant and always earnest, that the

Man Massey in the last years are an ample
Offset to the abuse, often unjust but always
hearty. that the Democratic papers and

have the Malone press defended him, but

The Lynchburg Adrance gets the whole
issue in Virginia into six lines, and here
it is:
The Conservative masses of the people
of all parties are called upon to rescue
the State from corruption and lawlessness.
and this means a move to overthrow arbi-
trary, corrupt. one. man power all over the
country, to put down stalwartism.

The Democrats who are too consistent
votaries of political principle to vote for
John E. Massey, will hardly find vlndi-
cation of their regard for principle by
staying at home and thus giving half
a vote for Wise.

We ask the most frantic Funder of them
all IN the safety OF his private fortune de-
pended upon the ctsting of his one vote
for an uncorrupted and incorruptible man,
would he cast it for Wise or Massey
He knows on his conscience that ne
wouldn debate tie matter for moment.
-Richnaond Whiq.
Both, my boy, both! We shouldn't be
afraid of trusting Johnnie Wise with all
the money we ever expect to have, without
counting it, and as for old man Massey the
State of Virginia trusted him with her
private fortune for years and though the
amount ran up into many millions his &C.
counts tailed to cent. The old man
will be all safe in Congress TOO. A man
that has given up $4,000 office on princi-
pie won't be easily bought up by Arthur
after he gets to Washington.

slavery of bossism. Now is your time boys;
