a HORRIBLE ACCTDENT.-LaSl Saturday,
when about finishing haystack, Mr.. Wal
lace Johnston, son Of Mr.. ]. T. Johnston,
who lives near Lewisburg, met with an ac-
cident, the details of which are too delicate
and horrible in their nature to publish. 1t
seems that before finally rounding off his
work the young man needed q stake for the
purpose of driving it into the top of the
stack in order to make it secure. He sent
the man. who was assisting him, away to
get a suitable piece of timber for the pur-
pose indicated, but, before leaving, his com
paniop1eft long pitch fork standing against
the stack, handle upwards. In the mean
time rain came on, and the absent party
not returning, Mr.. Johnston sought to leave
his position. and aimed to slide from the
top of the stack TO tsse ground. Not know
ing the position of the fork he clipped upon
it, the handle entering his person and in
flicting deep and horrible wound. His
weight sent the prongs of the fork into the
ground, and in his effort to disengage him
self from his agonizing situation he was
thrown face foremost some distance down
the hill, falling with great force upon his
head and shoulders. The fall itself was
sufficient TO have caused death. but his in
Juries in this particular were nothing COM
pared with his other troubles. In an almost
insensible condition, and alone, he made
bis way to the house, where he has been
suffering great and sxcrntiatipg agonies up
to the present writing. All that could be
done by skillful physicians and kind friends
has been extended towards his relief, but
little hopes, if any, have been entertained
from the first that he will recover, His
case is one which excites the tenderest sym
pathies, but the details regarding his inju-
ries are too shocking and horrible to dwell
upon. a. neabrfer y. Ka.) Independent,

THA TELEGRAPH STR1KE.-The Rich
chnoISf site expresses the view that Jay
Gould and some half dozen other men
could have prevented the strike very easily
if they had desired, but that they did not
wish to prevent it, for the reason that they
desired to have the stock to fall as low as
possible when they would buy up large
quantities at very low prices, and then they
would, with seeming reluctance, accede to
the demands of the strikers when the stock
'selland thereby make large sums ofmoney by
would go up in price, and they would then
the strike. This may be the result, though
not originally designaR In the mean time
the public interests are made to suffer.

The debt question being settled, his Dem

with corruptions With no principle and
no issue Malone keeps together his mongrel
following by appealing to the worst pas
sions of the ignorant, and by giving his
henchmen a share Of the spoils. For poll
cy, Malone rewards his servants at the eX-
pense of tho State. For policy, Malone,
TO strengthen his rotten cause, makes
stronger his alliance with the eolored peo-
pie by appointing two negro trustees on the
School Board of Richmond, these negroes
to have voice in the management of a
white superintendent and the white schools
of the city. For policy, Malone runs tho
State with an eye single to his advancement,
demoralizes the navy-yard at Norfolk, dis
poses of all the Federal patronage in Fir-
ginia and, in fine, so far as he can, turns
upside down our entire social and politica.

he can to aggrandize himself and to spite

Looking over the lists of delegates from
different counties to the Convention we
are of the opinion that the Readjuster par
ty as originally composed, will be fully
represented, and with the best men, who
led the party in 1873 snd up to 1880. The
party unrepresepted in the Democratic
Convention will be those white men who
were willing to go to the Republican par
ty-the colored Republicans and those white
Republicans who surrendered to Malone.
The truth is everything left out of the Dem
ocratic party this fall will be Malone and
his staff, and what they bought in the mar

We would invite the especial attention of
our readers to the able letter of Hon.
Abram Fulkerson published in this issue.
1t is from the pen of an able, original, and
prominent Readjuster Democrat, who has
exerted great influence in that party, and
Dem0c;atic Readjusters should heed his
wise counsel. He expresses the views
which we have time and again presented in
--olr feeble way He shows the danger
which threatens the State in the event OF
the success of the policy of Malone, and
demonstrates that consistency on the part
of Democratic Readjusters demands that
they should oppose it.

When Richard f. Beirne, editor Of the

Col. Elan, there were others besides Elan
who felt aggrieved by the article of Beirne
which caused the Beirne-Elam duel, and
some of the Malone party ventured the
prediction that Beirne would not live a
month as there were seven men who intend
ed to challenge him, ono after the other, till
Beirne should be killed. In this state of
affairs ofwhich Beirne was cogniZant, he
was anxious to be free to accommodate
these seven valiant gentlemen, and as soon
as he became so by the action Of the au-
thorities in Richmond and it became known
that he was free to except challenges and
willing to accommodate all who wished to
meet him on the field. these seven men,
who profcsscd to be anxious TO shed his
blood, upon ''the sober second thought,
like their valiant prototype-Fallstaff-
concluded that discretion was tile better
part OF valor," and from that time to this
these gentlemen, like the ''boy the calf ran
