ICorresponderce OF the Richmond Dispatch.I
BRISTOL, September q, 1883.
Last night was gala night with the
Democrats OF Bristol. II was understood
at late hour in the afternoon that the GAL
liant Colonel c. T. O'Ferrall would reach
the CITY oD his return from Wise and Lee
counties. wsither he had been striking ter
ror into the ranks OF the Malone Radicals
~ those counties. He arrived about night
tired down with long ride, but our peo-
nile could not think OF letting him pass
without giving us talk. SO notice was
c;rculated around that he would speak at s
O'Clock. At that hour large crowd gath
cred, and it was soon arranged tnat JOINT
discussion would be held, Mr.. i. G. Fowler
to represent the Malone party Tor rather
what little Is left OF 1t in BristoD; Fowier
to open in q speech OF one hour, Oferraii
TO reply for the same length OF time, tnen
fifteen minutes each to close.
Fowler made the weakest speech have
ever listened to from man OF any preten-
sions at all to oratory. In fact, he showed
plainly from the commencement OF his talk
that he felt the crushing that was in store
for him for he had but lately met with
Colonel O'Ferrall at Grayson CONTINUOUSLY
Colonel O'Ferrall's speech was most
mastery and powerful ylndication OF the
Democratic party, and his excorlation OF
the little Boss and all OF those that wear
his collar was terrific. The Democrats
were delighted with his able and aggres-
sive manner Of showing up the miserable
Coalition Of Malone negro radicalism, and
the horror that would come upon Virginia
in case they should succeed in the fall cleo
ton.
O'FerralI was cheered to the echo, and ii
Fowler received the least cheer or encOur-
agement your correspondent failed to hear
it,
Very great changes are going on all
through Southwest Virginia, and YOU may
rest assured that Malone and his followers
will be buried so deep that the hand OF
(politicaD resurrection will never reach
them. BORDER.

The seventh District.

We hold now, as we have held Ill along,
and rs we have said over and over again,
that a. Colonel O'FERRALL was elected to
the House Of Representatives last Novem-
Der, II would be wrong in Governor CANE
RON to order new election before the
House itself had decided whether PAUL or
O'FERRALL was elected. 1t would subject
Colonel O'FERRALL TO unnecessary ex-
pensc should he run this year. at the
same time that it would have no effect
whatever upon his title to a seat in the next
House Of Representative. II his claim Is
good. Il cannot be inyalidated by new
election. Why, then, subject him to I'M
necessary trouble and expense? Nor would
the election Of some one else this fall affect
Colonel O'FERRALL's title. We know that
Colonel O'FERRALL does not desire a new
election 10 be ordered, and we are sur
prised to learn that any Democrat does.
Governor CAMERON might desire one as a
means OF showing the strength OF his
party II he really believes that PAUL was
elected last year, or as method OF recall
ing Colonel O'FERRALL from his triumph
ant progress through Southwest Virginia.

1sel.

1t will be seen from the foregoing:
l. That the twelve Democratic counties
opened in 1882, according to the report OF
X. Il. Farr. Superintendent Of Public In
struction, 800 more white and 81 more col
ored schools than the twelve Readiuster
counties.
3. That they opened 43 more white and
6 more cOlOred graded schools than the Re-
adjuster counties.
3. That they kept their schools open
about twenty per cent. longer than the Re-
adiuster counties.
4. That the II Readjuster counties fell
oil IN one year 20 white schools, while the
Democratic counties opened 10 new white
and IS new cOlored schools.
). That the Readiustcr counties lost ,
graded coored schools during the year,
while the Democratic counties opened 10
new white and new colored graded
schools.
6. That the II Democratic counties raised
more than four times as much money to
help to carry on their schools, in addition
to the State funds, as did the Readiuster
counties.
Now, which record is the best, the Re-
adiusters or the Democrats
And we wish to impress 1t on the minds
of our readers that all OF the above work
was done by the county school boards and
by the people OF the counties themselves,
and that in the twelve Democratic counties
mentioned above q breath o. Readiuster
influence had never entered.
-Four Of the twelve Readjuster counties
mentioned above had no graded schools at
all in 1882. They are Brunswick, Dinwid-
die, Mecklenburg, and Scott. In 1881
Mecklenburg had one white and one color
ed graded school, and Scott had one white,
but in 1882 they had suffered them to be-
come extinct.
The report OF Superintendent Farr for
lSSl-'S2 shows that only four Readjuster
counties in the State have done their duty
| by their public schools. They are Rock
! ingham, Shenandoah. Page, and Wythe,
and We rather expect that the school
Boards and Boards of Supervisors Of those
counties were composed of Democrats
who had not turned Readiusters when the
county levy for 1881 was made. II we are
mistaken. however, we give them credit,
which is all the more deserving, rs they
stand alone among all the Readjuster coun-
ties OF the State for having done their duty
in raising school funds.
| AS we have frequently remarked. the
best friend OF the public schools is the man
who will 90 deepest into his pockets to
contribute money TO their support. The
schools cannot be sustained by resolutions
unless they are backed up by contribu-
| tons,

[From The Atlanta Constitution


The Democratic party represents hand
some majority OF the people OF this coun-
try, but the cumbersome electoral ma
chincry. together with an ailliction OF
Democratic wreckers. has obstructcd the
Will Of the people, and down TO this time
kept the Government in the hands OF
the minority. In nearly every close
State there are Democratic wreckers-
men who prefer to ruin the party ii
they cannot rule it. New York has had
an abundance OF them, and just now Ohio
and New Jersey are similarly afflicted. II
the party could be rid OF its wreckers it
would sweep the country next year. The
time has arrived to let the men who put
their personal ambition before the public
good know and feel in what contempt and
disfavor they are held by the honest masses
Of the party. The wrecker should be given
to understand that his offence is unpar-
donable, and the wreckers Of this year,
with the great battle Of 1884 in plain sight,
should, il possible, be doubly punished.

Wore and More Marked,

There Were good men and true-men OF
influence, ability, and conscience-who
argued PRIOR to the session in this city of
the Democratic State Convention that the
color f'ne ought to be plainly, squarely, and
aggressively drawn by that body. While
we recognized and admitted the patriotism
and honest motives Of these gentlemen
(many OF them personal friends, whose
private virtues and public character we
fully appreciated), yet. differing from them
on this point, we felt lmpelled TO advocate
contrary line OF policy; and the policy
advocated by us and others was adopted by
the wisdom Of the Convention.
We have nothing to regret and nothing
TO reiract rs to the arguments and the
aninius that moved our utterances in that
connection. We believed ourselves to be
right; we believe ourselves still 10 have
been right. But IL seems only Just that
some measure OF allowance or OF extcnua-
tlon should be Wadc those who took the
other side on this momentous and critical
issue. The development OF events during
.he current canvass has proved that their
knowledge OF the relations between the
races, as affected by the agencies Of Ma
none, was almost OF the prophetic order.
They appear to have realized in advance
exactly what course the negroes intended
10 follow. Time has, 10 considerable ex-
tent, justified the propriety OF their ex-
and their approximations; though
YET, with the greatest Difference TO these
our eomrads eand friends, We still think

Why Not ?
Washington Post.l


In view OF the present fact that Malone
and his cause are now in desperate need,
why did not Messrs. Hoar and Dawes stand
up for their ally in the Boston Conyen-
ton? The Virginia Boss is engaged in a
conflict more fierce than any in which he
has heretofore been involved. Many OF his
former followers are now against him, and
others are indifferent. In such an hour OF
need word OF good cheer from the Bay
state "were worth thousand men,"
And. taking all things into considera-
ton. such o word was due. But instead

Boston Convention. Malone gets n scathng

He asked him il the Democrats in Han

negro because he supported the ten negro
nominees for the Legislature. Did Bobby
answer that?
He asked him to produce the platform
which gave them the authority to add the

do il? OF course he answered none OF
these. The fact is the little fellow was too
far from home and was too much excited
to know very well what he was saying.
We liked Bobby. He is right handsome
