"Impudent Virginia BuIld0zer."
MALONE AND ARTHUR, RAscALs BOTH.

The New York Herald has heretofore
been favorable to the Malone cause, but
Malone has gone to length that even that
paper cannot approve, but severely con-
dennis. In speaking of the course of Ma
hone in coercing the Virginia office-holders
in Washington to contribute money to aid
his party whether they wish to do so or not,
the New York Herald says:
"We trust the President and the heads
of departments will promptly and publicly
rebuke General Malone for the scandalous
attempt to intimidate Virginians serving
cal purposes, which our Washington cor
respondent reports. Since the Infamous
Jay Hubbell circular nothing so bad as this
bulldozing circular of Mahones has ap-
peared. Mr.. Arthur may desire the success
of the anti Democratic movement in Vir-
ginia, but he cannot afford to let General
Malone play boss over the clerks in the
Washington departments or the federal
ofice-holders in Virginia. These are the
Presidents subordinates, and he is in honor
and duty bound to protect them, and to
give public notice that he means to do So
1t ought not to take him more than twenty
four hours to make up his mind on this
matter. He has won an honorable reputa-
ton and the confidence of the public, but
he will sacrifice all if he does not make a
public and secere example Of this 'impudent
Virginia bulLdozer."
In speaking of the same matter, the
Philadelphia Times says:
"The President should understand that
thinking public hold him responsible for
the enforcement of the new law. 1t is in
his power to notify the'clerks that they are
entirely free to do as they please about con-
tributions, and that refusal to contribute
will not endanger their tenure Of Office,
though all the Mahones in the country were
clamoring for their official heads. He
should do this at once, and in manner SO
positive and emphatic that there can be nc
mistake about his earnestness."
Malone will stop at nothing, however il
legal and rascally, to effect his purposes,
and Arthur seems to be no better than Ma
hone. President Hayes turned Arthur out
of the Office of Collector of Customs at the
port of New York because of his rascality in
that Office, and he and Malone, who are
working together, should alike receive the
indignant reprobation of the people.

The Richmond State says that ''Boss''
Malone is swearing and tearing and rip

the grand stampede in the Southwest, rid

and yelling like Texas cowboy, but all to
no purpose The Democrats have broken
away from his corral, and are running wild
in the full enjoyment of their freedom.

The Baltimore american saws:

"Mahone and his Readjuster lieutenants
have hung the scalps of many of their po-
litical enemies at their belts They can
now add to their trophies that of Judge
Mayo, who was driven to commit suicide
because of the demand made upon him to
yield up to them his official patronage"
Yes, but nearly all the white people in
Virginia, no matter of what previous poiit-
ical bias, have turned scalp hunters now,
and the scalps they will soon have hanging
to their belts will be those of Mahoneites.

AS the Richmond State says, '1t is deep
ly to be regretted that there should bt

whites, who have assumed to lead them,
and so long as they accept the leadership o.
these, the black people must expect to have
trouble with their white neighbors, who
are their best and only friends"

RIDDLEBERGER III THE SULKs.-Ma-
hone refuses to divide with Riddleberger
the patronage Of the State, and the. result
is that Riddleberger, Ike Achilles, has re-
tired to his tent in the "sulks," and will
not take any part in this canvass, either by
speaking Tor contributing money, to help
Malone play the part of overseer of the
people of Virginia, whom he'would treat as
slaves, and punish at his will in wreaking
his vengeance upon those who refuse t, es-
innate his ''toe-nail parings'' as of more
value than the honor and character Of the
''best people," as does his servile suppl
ant Cameron, who, before his fall, denom-
mated him the "Railroad Ishmael'
Riddleberger is the peer of Malone. but
Malone does not recognize nor treat him
as such. 1t is not much of compliment
to Riddleberger to say that he is better
man than Malone.
The New York Independent a Stalwart
Republican paper, in its last issue thus
speaks of Virginia affairs:
''In certain portions of Virginia the pro-
gress made by negroes in education and
culture is so marked that it is actually
breaking down the walls of caste. The
Malone movement, so unfortunate in Read
justerism, and as happy in it's recognition
OF equal rights, is doing much and will do
more in this direction. Already we see the
signs of a movement for the agitation Of
mixed schools and when that is achieved,
there will only remain the stumbling block
of caste churches, for which the negroes
themselves are responsible"
The Independent wants mixed schools
and mixed marriages, and it recognizes
Malone as the champion Of It's cause in
Virginia.-The white people should think
of these things.
