WHY AN ELECTION WAS NOT ORDERED.
The last Valley Virginian has an editorial
in strong condemnation of the failure OF
Gov. Cameron to order an election for a
member of Congress from this district on
the 9th of next November which concludes
as follows -
"The people are not slaves that they can
with impunity be thus trifed with, nor can
their independence and courage be COM
promised in the interest of any personal
scheme that instinctively revolts their sense
of right and justice. They have had too
much of star-chamber craftsmanship and
will hold in remembrance this act of fragrant
disregard of the popular will.
personal scheme" and ''star chamber
craftsmanship" are strong terms to be used
in that connection, and show that the Val
ley Viry5nian is becoming FESTIVE under
Boss-rule, and is becoming tired of seeing
the people treated as "slaves." There is
some hope that the Virginian will yet rebel
against ''the one man power" which it so
disinterestedly counsels the Democrats to
do, and which they have been, and are doing,
with might and main, without the aid of the
Vrginian.
We would suggest to the Virginian that
the reason the Governor did not order an
election in November, was the belief that a
coalition candidate could not be elected,
and Malone did not wish the fact to be
made manifest that his party was, in this
district, growing small by degrees and
beautifully less" He may believe that
Paul was defeated, as O'Ferral claims, or
that, if elected, it was by so small ma
jority, that he was satisfied that any other
coalition candidate than Paul, who is strong
er in this district than his party, would be
sure to be defeated.
A Washington correspondent of the
Louisville (Ky.) Couie1-Joarnal suggests
another, and that is, that Malone thought
'Yost" would be the candidate, and he did
not want him, because he was afraid that
Yost would not be controlled by him, and
suffer himself 10 be used to advance the
personal schemes of Malone which have
for their object the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Ma
hone, without regard to the interests of the
country or those of either party. AS the
first name was not given, but simply
"Yost, we do not know whether the cor
respondent referred to the senior or junior
editor of the Virginian, as Mahone's objec-
ton, we suppose, would be equally applica-
BILE to either.

4 Fatal Admission.

The Valley ViTgiilidn glEes-the number
of Democrats who took part in making the
nominations of the Democratic party fol
the House of Delegates in this county as
1449, and says that that number was toe
small to be considered fair representation
of the Democratic party, and that the NOM
nations should not be binding upon the
voters; but it makes no objection to the
nomination of the coalition candidates who
were nominated, not in convention o.
elected delegates, but in mess meeting, in
which there were by actual count only 4s
white coalitionists. The number of white
men who made the Democratic nominations
was 1448, and the number of white men
who participated in making the coalition
nominations was only 40; yet the Virginia,
seems to think that the coalition party in
this ccuntyEis more fully and fairly represent
ed by 40 white men, with probably double
that number of negroes, than the Demo
cratic party is by 144S white men.
With this exhibit, the Vuginian will
have "a hard road to travep' in its efforts
to induce white men to vote for the nomi.
nees Of the coalition party 1t is sedulously
endeavoring to produce dissatisfaction an6
to SOW disSension in the Democratic party
of this county; but its labor will be in vain,
for the white citizens will prefer to vote
for ticket nominated by 1448 white men
to a ticket nominated by only 40 white men,
and an unknown number of negroes. Those
who made the nominations of Echols and
Opie were all Chite men, whilst majority
Of those who made the nominations of
Fulcher and Hamilton were negroes. The
people of this county will have no Difficult
ty in making choice. They know that
when they vote for candidates they do not
vote for them as indiciduals, but as repre-
se'ltatires, and they will vote for those who
are nominated by their party and who rep
resent its principles, and not for those nom
mated by majority of negroes to
represent party three-fourths of which in
this State is composed Of negroes.

If the Democrats of Augusta are really
in earnest in their hostility to the one-man
power, let them show their faith by their
works. Valley Virginian.
We not only hope, but believe, that the
Democrats of Augusta are really in earnest
in their hostility to the one-man power,
and that they will show their faith by their
works in opposing the Coalition party that
is not only ruled by 'tone man." but seems
to take pride in being so ruled. Are the
Editors of the Valley Virginian opposed to
the ''one-man power?" If they 'fare really
in earnest in their hostility to the one-man
power, let them show their faith by their
works" What are they doing in opposi-
ton to the ''one-man power that rules It's
party in this State If they be opposed
to ''the one-man power" why is that their
faith is unaccompanied by works, without
which it is dead? Why do they not "work
in opposition to the ''one-man power" that
rules their party in this State? Why do
they not join with the Democrats in their
opposition to ''the one-man power ?" The
Democrats do not need to be urged to op-
pose ''the one-man power" Their love OF
liberty impels them to it, and they would
not be Democrats if it did not; but we fear
that the Coalition Republicans cannot even
be goaded into opposing "the one man
power that rules their party with despotlc
will. Here is a contrast that every free
born and liberty-loving citizen should con-
template, and decide with which party it is
his duty to act. He cannot fail to decide
in favor of the Democratic party, and by
SO doing show his faith by his works. The
Democrats, whom the Editors of the Valley
Virginian so kindly counsel, will be apt to
say to them in their own language:
"Let them relegate their OVID bosses to
the rear before they undertake to reform
others. Reform, like charity, should begin
at home. Example is better than blatant
denunciation."
The Democrats have no Efbosses" in their
party but the neutrality-suspicious. have
in theirs, and the Valley Virgi'aian makes
no effort to ''relegate them to the rear
its reform, in this regard, is not like chart,
ty, for it begins neither at home nor else
where.

Circumstances Alter Cases,

Suppose that Col. James II. Skinner had
been nominated, is there any one who
doubts that the Valley Virginian would
now be charging that he was nominated
by the friends of local option, and that
those who are opposed to local option had
Deen cheated in the primary and should
not support him. Its appeal to assert their
independence and to vote against the nom
ination would then have been to the whisky
men, or 'whisky ring" as it denominates
them, to vote and work against it, and to
give their support to Fulcher, distiller,
and to Hamilton, equally opposed to local
option. 1t would have appealed to them
to take a "business" view of the matter,
and to vote according to the dictates of
their pecuniary interest. The Coalition
lists, no doubt, regret very much the failure
of Col. SINNERS nomination, for if he had
been nominated, they might have induced
some who are opposed to local option to
vote for the Coalition nominees, but they
know that no friend of local option can be
influenced to desert his party to vote for
ticket headed by distiller, however much
he may be dissatisfied with the defeat of
Skinner. To suppose that man whose
chief concern is the promotion of temper
ance will vote for Fulcher and Hamilton in
preference to Eehols and Opie is to suppose
him non c0npOS naelatis.

RIM Mayo, who holds by technicallty
the return for seat in the next congress
over Judge Garrison, declares
81 am Republican and am Read
;,0tar and I make no discrimination be-
tween Republicanism and Readjusterism. )"
Now that the debt is settled, do the Read
iuster-D Democrats make any discrimination
between Republicanism and Democracy
If SO. will they not rebuke Malone and his
followers. who are attempting to drag them
into the Republican ranks? Beware, Demo
Gratis, how YOU follow leaders who make no
distinction between RepubGcanism and Re-
adiusterism. -Charlottesville Jefersonian.
Do Fulcher and Hamilton "make no dis
elimination between Republlcanism and
Readjusterism
The Republicans understand that they do
not, and hence they will all vote for the m
but how can any readjuster who was
Democrat do so without violating his prin-
ciples2 Every vote cast for Fulcher and
Hamilton will be counted as Republican
vote, however strong a Democrat the voter
may be, and it will count as two votes a
gainst the Democratic party, for it will be
taking one vote fen the Democratic party
and adding one Vote to that of the Repub-
lican. Thus it will be seen that any Demo
GRAFT who shall thus vote, will be aiding the
Republican party doubly as much as Re-
publican could by his vote. No Democrat
who will reflect for a moment, and has a
proper regard for his principles, however
strong his personal friendship for Fulchel
and Hamilton may be, can consent tt
vote for them. No one expects that either
of them will be elected, then why should
any personal friend, who is not Republi
can, vote for them, when his vote can dc
them no good, but will be equivalent to ad
ding two votes to the Republican party
The Republicans are hoping that there are
Democrats who will be so thoughtless, sc
foolish, so regardless of principle, as to dc
this thing, but they will find themselves
very much mistaken, for the Democrats
appreciate the Importance, the vital impor-
lance, of so casting their votes as that they
will be counted as Democratic and not as
double barreled Republican votes. They
will see the importance of voting for both
the nominees of the Democratic party, ano
will not split the ticket. Suppose, on the
other hand, that there should be enough
Democrats, as the Coalitionists hope, and
as some if them recklessly boast, who would
thus foolishly vote, to elect Fulcher and
Hamilton, would the result be such as they
would desire !? Then this good old county,
that now has the proud distinction of being
the banner Democratic county of the State
would be regarded as a Republican county
This result, no Democrat could desire
Tben, it is clear, that whether Fulcher anc
Hamilton be elected or not, no Democrat
should, under any circumstances, vote fol
either of them. Republicans can consistent
ly vote for them and will do so, for they
will be voting in the interests of their party,
but Democrats cannot, and will not.

Y SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

In reply to question Of our friend of
the Lynchburg AdrGnce we would say that
since there is Republican party in Vir-
ginia besides Mahone's Republican party,
nobody could tell which one we were speak
ing of should we call both of them by the
same name. The Straightouts are Repub-
licans. Mr.. Blaine leads them, and they will
send delegates to the next Republican
National Convention. The Malone dele
gates may consequently be left out in the
cold. We insist upon it that the Coalition
lists are Republicans to all intents and pur-
poses, but we nevertheless think it best to
call them ''Coalitionists" OF 'tMahoneites. :"
A good many plain people would not know
that the Coalitionists had ever been alluded
to if the papers were to speak of them al
ways as Republicans" name by which
they never call themselves. Show them
up as Stalwart- Arthur Coalitionists, and it
will not take the voters long to learn that
| they are Republicans in fact by whatever
name they call hemselvee.-DispatcA.
All are Republicans. These 1.-THE coali-
| tionists] are Radicals, and, being ashamed
or afraid-to say what they are, we call
them up here whangdoodles.- Lynchburg
AdUdnce.
The Lynchburg AdUance euphoniously
denominates as "whangdoodles" those
coalitionists like Fulcher and Hamilton and
Barbee, and others who, like them, are
ASHAMED or afraid to say what they are"
In 1880, when supporting Mahone's electo-
rial ticket for Hancock and English, known
as the Gully ticket" they were neither
ASHAMED nor afraid to say they were
Democrats, and ever claimed to be better
Democrats than those who supported the
regular Democratic electoral ticket, known
as the 'May ticket" Why cannot they
do SO now? We're they acting PREACHER
ously then, or have they become stalwart
Republicans since, and are now ashamed
or afraid to say what they are ?" The peo-
pie have right to know the political SEN
timents of those who aspire to represent
them, and they are not SO weak and fool
ish as to vote for men who are ASHAMED
or afraid to say what they are, and which
national party they will support. The peo-
pie now are in no mood to vote for ''whang-
doodles." They want men in the Legis-
lature who will represent their sentiments,
and guard and promote their interests and
not men who will represent the sentiments
of the coalition party, three fourths of which
are negroes, and all Republicans, and to
promote the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Malone,
as great tyrant as Nero, and as despica-
bic traitor as Benedict Arnold.

REIGN OF CORRUPTION. AS the Lynch
burg AdUance says, ''the reign of corruption
is upon us, and we may confidently look
for all manner of schemes for deception and
bribery. Malone is concocting them, and
the Administration will wink at his trick
cry and endorse his acts. Mr.. Dezendori
might as well stop submitting proofs of
corruption, oppression and violations of
regulations and law to the present Admin
istration. 1t will do no good. Arthur and
his cabinet are pledged to endorse Malone
and his rascality, and honest men, be they
Republicans or Democrats, have only one
redress, and that is to beat them at the
ballot-boX.
Brush out the foul seed they are sowing!
Mash the serpent's head that is breathing
poison into our social and political system
Malone and his followers have drunk deep
of the pool of political sin, and have gone
mad in their debauchery, and nothing but
an overwhelming Democratic victory can
check their political piracies.''

One of the many proper questions raised
by the Virginia Democrats in the campaign
they are now making against more dan
gerous enemy to their State than General
Grant ever was, even with his army behind
him is why the two hundred thousand
dollars the Mahoneites are boasting Of
having in the State treasury, instead of be-
ing kept there for months, is not expended
In the purchase and cancellation of Virgin
ia bonds at their present deprecated value.

'1ngeniOuS," but "DlshOnest'-"Sheel
Robbery"


MAHoNE's VIOLATION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE
ACT.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican
paper, complains of Malone that, whilst
acting the role Of "a leader of the Republi-
can party in Virginia" he has shamelessly
violated the civil service act Of last winter,
and "trampled it and all it's honest pur-
poses under foot" in his ''efforts to force
contributions from the employees of the
Government to use in sustaining his per-
sonal and political fortunes in Virginia"
In speaking of Mahone's 'plan to evade
the civil service act" which it says is ''inge-
nious,'' but dishonest" it says -
sit is, that all government employees
from Virginia shall join certain political as
sociations which he has organized, and for
the privilege of joining which they are each
assessed thirty dollars per year. Malone
has not waited for any one to joinlhis clubs,
but has enrolled every Virginia employee
at Washington as members, and has sent
out his circulars demanding thirty dollars
tribute from each. That is sheer robbery,
and it is the bounden duty of the President
or Chief Executive of the Civil Service act
to put summary stop to it.
The 'bounden duty of the President to
put a summary stop to this sheer robbery
will never be performed by the man whom
President Hayes had to turn out of the Of
fee of collector of customs at the port of
New York that he might have its duties
honestly discharged, for he is controlled by
as high sense of disinterested patriotism
as Malone, and ''will be for Malone, be-
cause Malone is for him. The Malone
party says: eve are for Arthur, because
Arthur is for u.s.

The Shenandoah Herald truly says there
are ''many men who voted the Readjuster
ticket do not believe il permitting the ne
groes to control the legislation Of the State.
They do not want negro trustees for white
schools. They are not willing to pay a
high protective tariff on coarse woollen goods,
while finer goods are taxed at a lower rate;
they do not believe in having $500, 900 sur
plus of the peoples money lying idle in the
United States treasury, while the poor Ia
boring man is oppressed with burdensome
taxes; they do not believe there is any ne-
cessity for the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, with its thousands of paid spies and
lnformers, but they do believe that the
white people of this State, are, in every
way, better qualified and suited 10 manage
the affairs of the State than are the negroes,
and that the white men who pay nearly all
the taxes should have the power of deter
mining the rate of taxation. These men
also believe that they could be Readjusters
and vote for readjustment of the State debt
according to their ideas Of what would be
right, without following Malone into the
camp af the Stalwart wing of the Radical
party Or permitting themselves to be sold
as so many cattle, the consideration Of
which was paid Malone in the shape of alb
solute control of all the small offices in the
State.-There is restlessness in the party
now, and when the people become fully in
formed as to Mahone's political conduct,
there will not only be restlessness but there
will be wholesale abandonment of the
party by thousands of men who were hon
estly Readjusters but were unwilling to be
sold by Malone to the highest bidder.
