II seems that ninety-six OF "the mos '"pu-
table citizens" belonging to Mahon". AID
not to Virginia, thank God, met in concIaN"
at Washington the other day and said that
the infamous, scurrilous lie in defamation o.
Virginia their master had given out TO the
world. was so;n in other words they en-
dorsed their masters paper. Sam HOUSE
of good old Frederick, l pity him from
The bottom of my heart. and the
Judas of our own beloved Clarke, were
among the number. Well, that no paper
with the signatures OF such rs principals
or cudorsers can be discounted III the United
States. is a matter Of fact and cannot be
controverted, and with all their eifrontely
deceit. hypocricy and utter disregard o
truth and decency, they could not PAIN
themselves OIL nor pose before the world iiS
the most reputable citizens Of Virginia :
''God save the mark" As they sat there
in the brilliantly Illuminated parlors OF TIE
Arlington, bedlzzcned and bedazzled, me-
thinks they must have felt like the o!d
darkey did the first time he got on feather
bed he said he felt like he was "gwlnt
straight to heaven" and perhaps fell down
on their knees and said, Mars Billy, Mars

TO his pent up feelings, says the Danvilit
riot swelled his opponents majority TO nearly
1900. Didn't he know when he pennci
that that it was untrue, and that We en-
pccted to beat him by at least2, 800 majority
long before the Danvilc riot, and but for
that he would have been beaten by 5000?
Didn't he know that the only disturbance
IN the county was brought ABOUT by himself

mick from getting the hurrah on him?
Didn't he know that he could not Seduce
the democratic ma ority III this county?
pidn nc know that he couldn't get thirty
white votes in noble old Clarke? To have
hattercd his soul with such JUNCTION
would have been the groSsest insult TO a pa
triotc and intelligent people. Didn't he
know that in consequence OF the Danvlie
riot be got thirty more negro votes certain
IL in Bcrryvile: and now many more else

birth. and thrown away the keys? Didn't
he know that that DauvilIe riot gave his
master - ,OOo votes he would not have got
ten? and, further. didn't he know that he
