JONESNIl.LE, OclODcl 10, 1867.
To the Editor Of the Lee Sentinel:
The WING Of the 18th instant has been
handed me at this place, in which it pub
fishes a large portion OF my pirate CORE
spondence with Gegcral Malone, which
Malone furnished the Wing for publica-
ton. These letters were all private, and
written before reimbursement was accom-
pl,hed and while Malone himself profess
ed to be a Democrat. and assured me that
the Arthur Administration would adopt Il
policy towards the South that would re-
store it 10 equality in the Union and
bring capital, labor, and prosperity TO
her people, policy that would be the
very reverse OF that OF the Republican
party towards the South. He further as
smed me that in the appointment OF officers
no pledge would be required OF the APP
p0intees 10 support the Administration or
90 into the Republican party. lie requested
me TO send him the names OF all the post
masters who were opposed to Rcadiust-
ment, and said that the cause OF Rcddjust-
mcnt could be promoted by the removal OF
Fundcrs and the substitution OF RcadjuSt-
ers who would not be pledged to the Re-
publican party by taking the Offices. The
publication OF this correspondence has been
withheld till came to the back counties to
oil my appointments TO speak, and thus

hone follows suit and proves himself TO be
the Leigh Wilson OF this canvass. Malone
was the chairman of the Readiuster party.
, and the letters published in the WIN were
written before reimbursement, and at the
time Malone was assllringme, on the honor
OF gentleman, that he was a Democrat.
and that the Administration would take a
new departure towards the South.
No gentleman would betray the conf
dence OF private correspondence, and
Mahone's conduct in this respect shows
that he Is unworthy OF the confidence of
gentlemen, and should be Chased with
Lei9h UuSOR-lower, indeed, rs he is
more intelligent, and knows more OF the
rules and prophecies that should govern
among gentlemen.
In The face OF the abuse OF Malone and
the Wig, now that | will not follow him
into the Republican party, will saw that
As late As November %, 1881, after the last
election, he not only offered me a seat on
The bench OF the Court OF Appeals, but
begged me/to take it.
W hen Malone was in London in 1874 he
wrote a gentleman in Virginia that was
The finest politician in the State In return,
after the last election, wrote him that he
might now be called the Napoleon OF
American politics. We are even OF COM
pliments, | trust. But Malone must not
forget that the old Napoleon had his Water
loo and the new Napoleon viii find his on
the 7th OF next November, when the peo-
pie come TO the polls TO decide whether we
shall have white rule or negro rule in Vir-
ginia. A. FuLSERsoY.
