Judge Riyes on MahOneism

The following is a letter recently
written to the editor of the Valley
Virginian by "a prominent aud infu-
entail republican of long standing,
and the author Of which is confidently
asserted, not only by the newspapers,
but by some of the Judges personal
friends. to be Judge Alexander
Rives
"The republican party. since coali-
ton, has suffered much aud long.
True, it reaped toe most it barglined
for, 10 the legislative measures and
the constitutional amendments, for
which 1t was mainly formed. 1t cannot
be forgotten, however, that the late
session of the Assembly was signaliz-
ed by the disappointment and morti-
fca,lon of the Republican party in not
having a republican Senator elected
in conformity with the understanding
taclt, if not expressed. Of the parties
to this coalition. This breach of faith
was borne with commendable pa
thence. Having no one to speak for
it in official quarters il has been
further subjected TO a series Of sur.
prisiing foundations IN the removal,
time and again, Of rcpublican postmas-
ters against the earnest expostulatiops
of a united republican party and the
interested community. 1t is suppos
cd that your head, Mr.. Editor, was
only spared IN consideration of your
value to the coalition. [ am glad that
this limit, though springing from a
sordid motive, was. 10 this instance
alone put upon their audacitY. But,
in other cases, no pleadings of lifelong
republicans could prevail with this
administration TO save the Office holder
who had incurred the disfavor Of the
back. door dispenser Of Office under
this fucile President /; or the greed Of
bis satellites. Alas alas ! that we
should chance TO have republican
Pr, sident nominally to wa e. FIR
ouch evident motives, a systenstc
warfare against those who would
gladly sustain his administration if
permitted to do so and retain their
selforespoct.
But this last act of despite to the
republicans Of this State is little short
Of an enoImily and outrage 10 repub-
Ican sensibilities and party tactics.
Under the semblance of coalition
to forward common ends the one par
ty availing Of the fliendliness it i'm
ports, takes and uses the occasion to
stab tue other, and break faith with
him. 1t is under the thin disguise
of a consolidation aud lessening Of
collection districts. How does the
President Of his lego alter proceed'
Let us judge him by the materials
he uses. For Bolts, tried republic
can, faithful 10 the coalition, an ap>
proved officer having all the prestige
legilimalely due bim as the son OF
the brave founder of the republican
party in this State, supplanted by |

Collector Brady, of the fist internal

A prominent Virginia republican
here to-day says that Mahoue has got
the republicans of his State foul.
They can't go 10 the democrats, and
KIN wing that, the General is cram

as he thinks proper to dose them with.
He says the General presumes upon
the position in which the administra.
ton has placed the Virgini' republi-
cans. lie also says that though mos
of them swallow their doses, they do
with wry faces, and that there are
many who openly kick against the
treatment.
From Ohio it is learned that the
democrats there are saOguine Of sue =

whereas the only acc ssious the re-
publicans have received, save young
Thurman. have come from the sr en-
hackers aud prohititlOnists, thousands
of Germans who have heretofore voted

Besides, t. e democrats don't need

There is a charge OF seven hundred

A Pretty Battlefield Romance

The Martinsburg correspo ndent
of the Wheeling Intelligence relates
the following story: Almost every
family and individual here has some
bit Of romance IN connection with
the late war. 10 day at a musicale
to which | was kindly invited, l
met lady whose talents as a mus
ician and whose remarkable beauty
had attracted my attention. She
possessed the rare type OF beauty
that is wholly southern Great
deep blue eyes, tie lace perfect in
every feature; hair rich in lis abun-
dance and wonderful in its tint.
This is her story Twenty years
ago, when he tide Of battle, in long
bloody waves, swept over the ter
rlble field OF Manassas, baby
girl was lett an orphan OIL the bat
tle>ground. During the changes
OF the tatetul day the home of the
blue. eyed girl was at one time
directly betW can the file of both
armies. AS the first shots wills
tied above the house the parents
started 10 flee for place OF refuge.
A dozen yards from the door both
were shot down, and the baby, an
orphan, without sister Or brother,
was alone in the world. The bat
tie ragged Oh, dead and dying were
everywhere, but the baby was un
harmed The day wore away, and
just as the sun last rays, ha f
hidden i'll the curling smoke, sadly
kissed the earth good night Gen
eiaI Jubal Early, riding by, heard
the baby's cries, lie cismounted,
and taking the little wait up, cared
tor it until he could place it under
the care Of his sisters. They watch
ed it though its infantIIe years,
giving it all education and a world
OF love, and now that baby grown
to womanhood, lovely and accom-
plshed, tie pet OF a wide circle OF
friends, who call her "Wait," is
the soul support OF those two wo-
men, sisters Of he Confederate gen.
eral. Over these she sits directing

THE negro is becoming an important

THE negro is becoming an important
factor in Virginia politics. For year:
he was used by few white republicans
Who .Hictr,d the large negro force. saw
that they came out on election days
10 vote tie republican ticket and then
withdraw 10 earn scanty living until
the next election, While the chiefs
rolled in tie luxury of. federal offices
They educated the negro up 10 The be-
liet that 1t was part OF his religion 10
vote the republican ticket. The Re-
publican tffice- holders bad good thing
of it and w,re not particularly anxious
to have any uew white converts to the
republican faith. AS it was the Offices
barely went round aid an increase Of
republicans Lad tendency 10 weaken
the tenure Of Office,
The Readjustors attempted to r, al
jLst The State debt, but the republicans
Lad TOO holy revere ce for the inviol-
ability Of public contracts to follow the
new doctrine. They fought the read
lusters and even when tie summer
game OF running an independent elec-
ioral ticket was started, they drew of
and permitted the ticket to be defeat
ed. But they hated the democrats and
wanted 10 Lold on 10 their offices.
Mehone knowing the weakness Of
Arthur soon managed to baye him
delegate part Of bis powers as presi-
d,nt, in consideration Of friendly Offices
10 be performed by Malone and his
party. The republican oflice.holders
were whipped into the traces and they
are now as obedient TO The orders Of
the bo,s aud is any well whipped cur
10 the orders of his master.
The Cffice- holdiDg republicans and
the coslitionists soon coalesced and
worked admirably so long as each wing
could secure Cffice, but they we're weak
and utterly powtrless without the aid OF
the negro forces. The negroes soon
became aware OF the situation and
while they were at first modest 10 their
demands, lley soon learned that there
was, IN politics, something more than
voting. They want pay and they want
more Of it every year. They wanted the
c0pitation tax restriction removed and
it was done. They wanted the whip
ping post law repealed. for while it
WAS on tie statute books, the negro felt
that it was restriction Of his rights -
Tie law has teen repealed. They are
beginning 10 learn that the party that
can Get the negro vote stands the best
tharce of carrying tie State. They
ttgin 10 realize tier importance and
sosoon as they fully understand 1t, and
the full value of their vote, Virginia
Will t,ltng 10 The party that can pur-
chase The negro vote. It's a purchas-
able element in our politics, and
whether the consideration be money,
Office or social position, it remains a
purchasable element. The party that
secures it, stands a good chance Of
being the successful party. Realizing
the ruth Of these facts, Sambo can
stand off and grin, while his white
brethren fight each otLer. When the
auspicious moment arrives he will step
in ND decide the question. but lie will
insist on the pay. He has learned the
value of Tie right OF suffrage.
