Hon. Jno. s. Barbour,

1t is gratifying that our people with so
much enthusiasm and unanimity endorsed
the record of Hon. Jno S. Barbour in the
Congress ofthe United States in their meet
ing on Monday. 1t was a Just tribute to q
good man and faithful representative. We
have not the space or time to enter into the
meritorions record of Mr.. Barbour, but will
say that he embodies, with more symmetry
the energy of youth and the wisdom of old
age than any gentleman of our acquaintance
He is live man, and from the position he
occupies is able to do much for the advance
ment of Virginia. He has done this: and
we believe will continue to build up the
old State in material advancement with the
same energy in the future that has marked
his activity in the past.-Blue Ridge Echo.
There seems to be no doubt that this dis
tinguished gentleman will be re-nominated
by the approaching Democratic Convention
of the Eighth Congressional District. Mr.
Barbour during his single term in Congress
has taken high rank in that body and in the
National Democratic organization. In the
political history of the country as to men
and measures, he is one of the best read

The Trial of Garland.

At the trial Of Garland for killing Addison a,
Lunenburg c. H., yesterday, the examination
of witnesses for the defense was resumed and inc
T. Roach testified as to the duel
W. W. Boswell, witness for the defense, being
recalled, said he was armed during the shooting
because he heard that Thomas Orgain, Addison
friend, had said that if Addison did not clean Gar
land out he would. Counsel for the defense asked
to introduce as evidence letter from Miss Mamie
Hatchett, written from Sassafras Fork, Y. G.
dated July IS, in reply to Garland's letter of the
9th Of July, in which the writer says as he Gar
land had denied her charges she had nothing
more to say; which after a protracted discussion,
the court refused. The testimony was concluded
and arguments will begin to-day, and the case will
probably be given to the jury ON Monday

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1882.

PEoBABLY THE most powerful expose of
the rottenness and corruption Of Malone
and Mahoncism ever written come, from
the pen Of Col. Frank G.. Ruffin, a former
readjuster, in response to an open letter
from Mr.. Massey urging him not merely to
break loose from, but to let daylight shine
into the secret workings Of Eirginia's Boss.
He begins with his first acquaintance with
Malone, twelve years ago, when having
aided in Walkers election, he "like an
Ocracoke wreckcr, claimed vessel and cargo
and commenced Il bitter contest for the
control of the State" by consolidating three
roads, making that the ''pivot Of comhina-
tons of u more or less questionable charac-
ter in the legislature increasing his salary
to s25,0D per year, and having himself
elected for term Of five years, something
without precedent in this country, thus
proving himself "rapacous. greedy Of power
and money y and lastly, and as consc-
quence Of his workings. the utter bank
ruptcy Of the road
Mr. Ruilin's eyes seem to have been first
opened by Mahone's intrigue to defeat the
nomination OF Massey or Cameron for Gov
ernor, that he might put in his own flvorlc,
a scheme only toiled by Malone finding il
''impolitic to show his hand in the conven-
ton" From this time on he watched him,
and soon came the most rcmarkabl locu-
ment ever offered treemen to sign from
Malone, Chairman" and sent to all canl-
dates of the readjusters for the Legislature
Thus said the Boss TO those who desired to
be elected: Sign the following and the light
of my countenance shall fall upon YOU: my
capitation tax collectors shall aid You and
my tools give you their support Sign
away your free will, submit yourself to me
and all will be well, provided it be done
under your hand and seal as follows:
hereby pledge myself to stand by the read.

The reason givenby Gen Malone forexact-
ing this remarkable pledge Of fealty was tina.
many Of ''tle men to be elected were so ve-
nal that they must be bound by sealed
obligation or else their opponents would buy
them" What commentary upon the par
ty that the Boss leads, and upon the men
who represented it. in the last General As
sembly. No wonder he found them plant
tools in his INSCRIPTIONS hands.
Seeing this precious ''pledge" and know
ing that Mr.. Massey and other friends
would not submit to caucus (alias Ma
hone's) dictation in the matter Of clerkships;
feeling that Malone was becoming rapidly
oil autocrat, Mr.. Ruifin addressed him
letter demonstrating against his course in
this matter and also declared that Mahoncs
levy OF 10 per cent. upon the salary Of State
office holders was wrong in principle and to
be reprobated. The spoils committee was
appointed in Mahone's lodgings in the Wing
building Nov, %, 1881, its duties being to di-
vide the Offices between the various Con-
gressional districts. $50 this meeting Mr..
Massey went and was at once asked to re-
any place" and Mr.. Allen having been Sc
lected in his stead.
During all this Malone stayed in Rich
mond to supervise the appointment of COM
mttees to organize the campaign, to dictate
his colleague in the United States Senate,
though Congress was in session and the in
terests of Virginia, vital to some sections
and important to ALL needed the best efforts
OF all her representatives., and especially
claimed the services Of such as had been
chosen upon pledges of peculiar devotion"
MIR. Riddleberger WIS not Arthur's choice
at first nor that of the rea1justers but was
ordered to be elected by the Boss, Governor
Cameron finally obtaining Arthul's consent
thereto.
OF MIR. Furr he says
Il do not stop to enquire into the particulars of
the arrangement by which Mr. r. r. Farr wss ap-
pointed to the post of Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Enough to know that he held at the
same time his Seat in the House of Delegates and
the office to which he was elected, though the
lawyers OF that body Of both parties decided de-
.ioeiaeSiy anu Unanimously against him ami that
he Is believed to be unable to construct any but
the plainest grammatical paragraph or spell any
but the commonest wOrds--though he is Malone
man. And yet the education of the people. is an
nounced IN the platform of the readuster party to
DO one of its most sacred duties
And so through long letter he exposes
Malone. Coming from the pen Of stall
wart readjuster, such letter proves, that
which Virginians have heretofore believed,
that Malone is false to his friends and to
his State. Greedy Of power and place and
INSCRIPTIONS as to the means by which
ne acquires them, he is followed by
gang of whom, to quote his own language,
it can truly be said that "many of them are
so venal that if not bound by a sealed obi.
cation they could be bought"

Brough, In the Bears Meat Alive.

a party out hunting lately in the Mus

from the rather dangerous embraces
Of bear. The incident is an amasing
one. II appears that the members of
the party had arranged that they should
take turns at the cooking. The gentle
man in question did not take kindly to
this work. and when the remainder Of
the party returned from the chase he
was invariably asleep, not having pre-
pared a meal. His companions be-
came tired of this conduct. and on
this occasion ordered him out TO
bring in some game. This he
proceeded very gladly to do. In
few minutes, however, he was
seen returning at the top of his speed,
with an immense bear in hot pursuit.
