HIGHLAND COUNTY,
Totals,

From the above it will be seen that out
of the number of votes cast in the county,
1901, Jones received $40 and Heyener 482,
giving Jones majority of 81.
The total vote for the county, as will be
seen, is 1901, the largest ever polled in High
land. At the November election, 1881. $50
votes were cast, of which Cameron, for
Governor, received 400 and Daniel 33G; re-
adiuster majority 100. And in the contest
OF 1882, between Paul and O'Ferrall, for
Congress, the entire number of votes cast
was S95, of which Paul received majority
of 105. At the election in May last for
county officers, 903 votes were cast in the
county,

GEN. TOoNBss RECEPTION INTO CHURCH.
A Georgia correspondent gives the fol
lowing account of the reception of Gen.
Toombs into the church: 'Robert Toombs
was baptized and admitted into the Metho-
dist Church roll of members by Bishop
Pierce last Sunday. Tie discourse of the
Bishop was after his usual splendid splen-
did style, and was heard by quite large
congregation. After the sermon, during
the ceremonies at the reception of the new
member, scarcely dry eye could have been
found in the house, so great was the joy
felt by the people when they knew that our
grand old citizen had made peace with his
God. Mr.. Gabriel Toombs had long been
a Christian, and the sight of the pleasure
on his face as he stood by his brother dur
ing the ceremonies is we'll worth ones
memory for years to come,''

REJOICING IN OTHER STATEs.-One hun
dred guns were fired in Texas and one hun
dred in Arkansas on receiving the news of
the Democratic victory in this State and the
political death of Billy Malone. Not only
in this State, but throughout all the South
ern States, and even in some of the North,
ern States, the result of the election in Vir-
GINA was considered of more importance
than the results of the elections in all the
other States combined.
It was one of the most important contests
ever waged in a free country, and the result
is glorious beyond expression.

PoRTENTs- lac glo ious elections
portends the political death of tn arch
agitator Malone and of Nah neism and all

election of Democratic President in 1884;
it portends that ''the Republican party must
CO." and the turning out of "the rascals. -
And last, but by no means least, it portends
a reunited Democratic party. The old

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING,
We learn that our old friend, J.. Waddell.
Esq, late Editor of the Charlottesville
Chronicle, will be candidate for the Office
of superintendent fPublic Printing. When
our party was in a minority in the asst
General Assembly it gave him compli-
mentary vote. In the next, our party will
have a majority and may convert into an
election what was only complimentary in
the last. We know of no one who has bet
ter qualifications, or whom we would be
more pleased to have elected to that office.
He is honest and capable and has rendered
good service to the party.
P. S.-Since the above was put in type
we have learned that Mr.. W. Fl. Bailie,
Foreman in the indicator Office, is also a
candidate for the Office of Superintendent
Of Public Printing. He is a worthy gentle
man and practical printer and is qualified
for the position.

The northern people do net know how to
treat negroes properly. Their sort Of kind
ness to The negroes is death to them None
but southern men can treat negroes as they
deserve to be treated-aDd as Virginians do
treat them. A negro in the North is like a
white man in an unsympathetic hotel. The
negro in the South is like a white man in
the bosom of his family. No wonder he
prefers home comforts to northern high
prices.
The Democrats will show to all the world
when the Virginia Legislature meets that
the bad condnot of the negroes during the
recent campaign has not IN the slightest
degree changed the purpose of the whites
to be their best friends hereaft I, as they
have always been heretofore. Not even
handed Justice simply will be dealt out to
them, but benefits they could never have
obtained a; the hands of their allies of the
white race Rich. Dispatch.

Riverheads District Celebrating the

Riverheads District covered itself with
glory in tn, late election, land it proposes
to have grand celebration at Greenville
tomorrow wednesday, night. The DEM
ocrats from Middlebrook, Newport, and
Midway precincts will join in the celebra-
ton, as will, also, it is hoped, many from
Staunton and different sections of the coun-
ty. All are invited, and we have no doubt
that many will go.
Greenville did so we'll in giving large
Democratic majority that it deserves to be
the place for grand celebration on the
part of Riverheads District. It is time
for rejoicing, for Virginia has been saved
from fate that it staggers the imagination
to contemplate.

MALONE MUST GO.


composed by G. D. Gray, and sung at Cele-
bration at Culpeper, Saturday. Nov. 10, 1888: i
Say, White Folks, have you seen Boss Billy,
With the ed hat ON his pate
Come down the street very soon this morning,
Like he was going to leave the State;
He saw The smoke way up the River
Where the Barbour gun-boats lay,
So he took his hat and he SIX edaddled,
And l guess he has ruined away.
CHORUS.
Boss Billy is gone, no! no!
The White Folks stay, no! no!
1t must be now the kingdom is coming.
And the year of jubilo.
He's five foot one way, one foot 'tother,
And he weighs about ninety pound
His clothes so big they don't touch body,
From the shoulder to the ground;
He thought is State was in his pocket,
But he got so badly beat,
guess he'll call on Partner Arthur,
For to stand him on his feet.
(CHoRUs.)
The Boss he gave us lots of trouble
But the big Four blocked his way
Till the white folks walked and saw The rascal,
And said he should not stay;
They charged their guns with the freeman's
ballet,
And shot them at the foe.
A hundred Thousand white men said 1t,
That Boss Malone must go.
(CHoRUs)
The darkey he got awful sassy,
And thought he'd grown s. big,
Till the good white men of Old virginny,
Turned in aud thrashed the mig;
Now darkies, you must mind your business,
And learn your place TO k ow,
For If you don't. The white folks say it,
The Niger too must go,
(CHoRUS.)
Twas famous dght, and we gave Boss Billy
Tne hest we had in The shop,
And tell you what we gained the victory,
And Democracy on top;
So let us shout no ! no! no! no!
Over the victory nave won,
For The Coalish is up salt river.
And Boss Mahone's undone.
(CHoRUS.)
The Boss did claim the hero to be-
OF The Crater fight they say.
But Old Jubal says he tells a lie,
For he was many miles away;
But whether this be so or not
We care not now to know,
He was in the crater of Tuesday last,
And he was blown sky high, no! no!

though not within the levee district
they heartily approve the policy Of
tie Governor, in building levees for

low-cltizons whose lives and prop
