A Cool Lady

There was one woman, young and
very demure, among the travellers in
an Arl2onla stage coach, and when d
gang OF masked robbers appeared, she
told the FIVE men ia the vehicle to
hand their watches and money 10 her.
They did so, and she hastily bid the
articles under her clothing. When
the highwaymen came to her in their
earch she tlushingIy begged them to
be content with searching her pockets
vow!ng, with upturned eyes and SOL
emn tones, that she had nothing cons
cealed. They gallartly complied, and
went awas with ouly few stray dol.

Wise or Massey.

The gap has been left down by the
Democrats for Mr.. Massey to come in ::
they make no nomination for congressman
at large, thus leaving the race to be run by
the great apostle Of Readjusterism. That
shrewd, cautious, sagacious man did the
party which wanted to pay all the debt q
vast deal Of harm, and did the Democratic
party OF this State good deal OF harm,
while working to settle the debt on his
plan. But for him General Malone could
not have achieved such power for mischief.
Mr.. Massey was the most efficient speaker
in his party and helped him to rise as no
other member could have done. We admit
all that, and say further that we are OPP
posed to political parsons and still think
that Mr.. Massey ought to quit either the
stump or the pulpit.
But for all that, between him and Mr..
| John S. Wise we do not hesitate one mo-
ment. They were both Democrats not
long ago; but Massey Is with us now and
Wise is against us. They were and are
now both Readiusters; but that Is no
longer an issue. Massey Is fighting Ma
hone, our great arch-enemy; Wise Is up
holding him in his efforts to keep the
whites down by negro votes. How can
any white man hesitate as TO q choice ?
How can any man who wants to be free and
who hates tyrant hesitate2 We can well
see how some debt-payers would refuse to
vote for Mr.. Massey if that were an issue {;
but that is not now an issue, and never
ought to have been n test Of Democracy.
and we cannot see how Democrat can re-
iuse to vote for him.-DanUille Times.

nry,m, rrAS MEETING. "A" straightout"
Republican meeting was held at the ONCE
81 Canfain W, s. Lurty for the purpose,
a. w wsp understand, Of recognizing the true
Penublican oarty In this county. We were
mot prescnt. and cannot. therefore, give !, q
Connected report Of the proceedings. IL
was resolved that delegates be appointed 10
Straightout Republican State convention
IN he held in Richmond In August next.
James w. Cochran, chairman OF tne hePuS-
ilcan State Committee, and captain w. -, ..
Lnrty. were appointed delegates. Delegates
were also appointed TO district congIes.
sjonal Republican convention TO be held IN
Charlottesville the latter part OF this month.
RESOLUTIONS Of devotion to the principles
~ the Renublican party, and OF determi-
nation to stand by the Republican stragnt-
ont party I'm this State, recommending tne
nomination OF Straightout Republican
candidate for Congress in this district,
and also for congressman at large, were
adopted.
The meeting was attended by about
TWENTY-FIVE or thirty Republicans This
was a rather poor showing Of numbers, but
considering the fact of short notice OF the
meeting. and its being held in private in
stead Of public place, the attendance was
as large as could have been expected. Some
of the Coalition Republicans were also very
active, we learn, In their endeavors TO
break up the meeting.

Personal Difficulty at Marion.

b We learn that personal difficulty took
place at Marion last Monday evening be-
tween Captain j. s. Wise, OF Richmond,
and John S. Crockett, Esq, Common
wealth's attorney for Wythe county. 1t
seems that when Wise was in Wytheyille \
few weeks ago a conversation took place
between him and Mr.. Crockett, in the
course OF which the latter alleges Wise
made use OF the expression "There is no
honor in politics." This Crockett had re-
peated as coming from Wise, and this fact
had been reported to the latter. Meeting
with Mr.. Crockett on the evening referred
to on the hotel porch at Marion, Wise
called him to one side and interrogated
him about it. Mr.. Crockett acknow-
lodged that he had made the state
ment, and that it was true. Wise de-
nounced il as false, and struck Mt Crockett.
Before the latter could resent the blow his
arm was caught by Marshal Watts, who
was standing close by, and then an Of
ficer appeared upon the scene and COM
handed the peace. The parties were taken
before a town magistrate and fined for a
breach OF the peace. We gather the above
from gentleman who witnessed the affair.
Since the above was written we have
seen Mr.. Crockett, who appears without
scratch or bruise or any other indication
that he has been through q "mill." From
our knowledge Of him we are satisfied he
is not the man to suffer an attack upon him
Of any kind without resenting it prompt

Massey or Malone is the whole and only
question to he decided by Virginia's vote
for congressman at large. Every Demo-
crat in the State, whether he votes or not,
helps to elect one or the other. The choice
must be made--the alternative cannot be
evaded. A vote for Massey is a vote for
Democratic men and measures; not to vote
for Massey is half q vote for John Wise
and "gives aid and countenance to the
enemy" OF Virginia and the Democratic
party OF the whole country. John Wise
was nominated by Malone, whom he re-
presents, with whom he will vote in Con-
gress with the Radicals and against his
State. and people and the Democratic
members. Do you want to help to put him
there! Massey nominated himself as De.
mocrdf, which he declares he is and will
be in Congress and everywhere. These
two men. Numerically opposed politically,
are the only candidates in the field. One
or the other is bound to win. Which do
you want to wins Let every Democrat
put that question to his conscience and vote
accordingly. II you have no conscience in
the matter, let your affection for Virginia
and your hatred Of Radicaism cause you to
vote for Democratic victory and against
Malone. -FrederickSburq Nelcs.

Massey was Readiuster and fought that
issue to successful conclusion. lie claims
and declares, and we believe him, that he
was Democrat before Readi ustment arose.
He was thrown out Of the Readiuster party
because he would not consent to he Ma
hone epublicaniZed. He now stands as
the stalwart opponent OF bossiSm, and is
the terror OF Mahonedom. When he gets
to Congress no one doubts but that his vote
will always and ever be with the national
Democracy and against Republican mo-
nopoies. These things our committee
recognized, and refused to place another
nun in the field only to see him defeated
and Republicanism triumph. They knew
as between the two candidates already in
the field Democrats could have but one
choice. And thus the matter stands. viii
you vote for Massey and Democracy or Wise
and Republicanism?
Personal dislikes must sink into slumber
before the calamity that threatens us, and
every man must step promptly to the per-
Torrance Of his duty. When our liberties
as a people and nation are threatened by
Republican rapacity and Malone bOssism
private antipathies should he given to the
winds and genuine patriotism govern our
actions. Democrats OF Virginia, remem-
bering the past glory OF our old Common
wealth and the dangers which now menace
her, let us step into the breach and redeem
her !-ROckinghdm Register.

We suppose Mr.. SPENCER may be called
the greatest philosopher of this age. His
works have made profound impression
upon the scientific men Of the world. His
generalizations are wonderful, though, ii
it is not presumption in us to say so, they
appear to us to be largely nothing more
than speculations or guesses. We recall
the history Of the theories Of the cycles,
epicycles, &C., which so long served to en-
plain to the satisfaction OF mankind the
movements OF the heavenly bodies, and,
doubling much more than we believe OF
Mr.. SPENcER's theories, "await further

Mr.. Massey having now declared the
principles for which he is fighting, the only
question now left to be answered is, Can
the Democrats support him! For our
selves we can unhesitatingly answer, Yes.
Mr.. Massey has been and is to-day n Demo-
crat. In his letter he declares himself a
Democrat, and announces his opposition TO
boss rule and to Mahone's plan Of handing
Virginia over into the hands Of the Repub-
lican party. This being the case, 1t is the
PLAN duty of all Democrats and OF all men
who wish to prevent the State from being
sold to the Republican party to give to Mr..
Massey their most earnest and cordial sup
port. 1t will be seen from the report
of the meeting Of the State Committee that
1t has been decided by them to be ineXpe-
dent TO call convention to nominate q
candidate for congressman at large. We
think this action wise one. The fight is
now between Mr.. Massey and Mr.. Wise.
Can any Democrat hesitate between these
two f-the first good Democrat and the
other a supporter Of Republican Presi-
dent. Remember the debt question is no
longer living issue. That question Is
now in the hands OF the courts, and by
them will be decided. We are fighting
Mahoncism. We are fighting the Repub-
lican party. Massey leads the charge. Let
us rally to his support Buchanan Demo

The RaiIroads-The Boston Fair


The Charlottesville JeferSonian pub
fishes letter from HENRY FINK, Esq,
vice-president and general manager OF the
Norfolk and Western, Shenandoah Valley,
and East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroads, and one from JOHN S. BARBOUR,
Esq, president Of the Virginia Midland
Railroad Company, in regard to transport
ing free articles intended for the Boston
Fair. Mr.. FINK says:
"Our Norfolk and Western, Shenandoah
Valley, and East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroads will transport over their
roads free of charge any specimens Of min
erals, wood, or timber from the line OF
their roads designed for exhibition at the
New England Manufacturers and Mechan-
les Institute Exhibition, to be held at Bos-
ton September 9th. The companies named
will also transport free Of charge articles
manufactured on the line OF their roads,
but in the case of such articles the freight
to Boston must be prepaid, and in the event
of their not being sold, but returned to the
original shippers, charges will be refunded
on presentation of proper certificates OF
exhibition. OF course you will understand
this arrangement applies only to the COM
panies have named, and not 10 other con-
Meeting lines"
Mr.. BARBOUR says:
"The lines composing the Richmond and
Danville system propose making an eX-
bibit. and cordially invite all owners OF
mineral lands and mines, timber lands,
manufacturing establishments, and water.
powers to avail themselves OF the benefit OF
this exhibit.

"Our agents are directed to transpor

be taken in charge by the secretary Of tn,

pared for shipment TO Boston, where tn,

that Is bound to raise up a host Of friend
for the railroads. From what we hav
been able to observe, Virginia will be wor

pies Of the Handbook Of Virginia, issue
from our Department Of Agriculture, to b

to us, might be able to arrange with tn

We imagine Captain Wise will have in
the person OF eX-Auditor Massey a Lively
campaign companion and one who has the
ability to "skin +" him and at the same time
enjoy the work. Mr.. Massey will be able
to divide Resdiuster votes with Mr.. Wise.
and the Democratic votes he will get will
elect him. That is the way it stands now,
and Mr.. Wise has not yet (nor do we be-
lieve he willy resigned his place as United
States district attorney, to which he was
appointed by President Arthur, through
the efforts OF Malone. as part Of the Ma
hone-Republican compact, because of any
certainty OF election he may claim to feel.
John Wise's attempt to beat his cousin
George ID. Wise for Congress from the
Richmond district in 1880 was disastrous
failure, as this will probably be. lie was
made United States district attorney for
the Eastern district as recompense. He
will hardly resign before the election, and
we feel assured he will not need to do so
after the eth of November next.-Harri-

We shall vote for Mr.. Massey as the best
means TO rescue the State from the evils OF
bossism. We shall vote for him because
on national questions he is in accord with
that class Of people who are best fitted to
decide what is the true position of the
southern States. We shall vote for him,
not for what he has been in the recent past,
nor for what Mr.. Wise has been, but be-
cause Of their positions now-the one q
Democrat and the supporter OF Democratic
measures: the other an ally and supporter
OF the party whose chief aims have been to
put the intelligent and property-holding
classes in the South beneath the heels OF
ignorance and superstition. We shall vote
for him because, so far as we are concern.
ed, we are done with the debt question,
and because the good Democrats who sepa.
rated from us on that issue are asking us
to give some evidence OF the sincerity OF
our desires to see Democrats united again
in defence OF the honor and glory of the
