perance Union was held at the Y. NJ. c. A.
rooms on Tuesday morning, presided over by
Rev. X. Smithson. There were, besides the

After the usual opening exercises the special

greatast Injury to any community, resulting
IN the retardipg of the material interests of the
State-1n crime, the corruption OF morals pau
per1sm, insanity, and premature death; and.
whereas. we believe each community should
be allowed to protect itself against this injury
by refusing to allow such sale; therefore

any county, town, or city, of said State, to say
by ballot whether such liquors shall be Sold or
IN any way disposed of as q beverage in the
county, town, or city where the election takes
place.

CANDIDATES FOR THE HOUSE OF DELE
eATEs.-At the meeting, on last Saturday,
of the Coalitionists, they nominated as their
candidates for the House of Delegates.
Capt. E. A. Fulcher and Mr.. John Ed.
Hamilton, two of the strongest men in per-
sonal popularity in their party in this coun.
ty, and they will make an active and hard
working canvass, so that it becomes the
Democrats at their primary election to
nominate as the standard-bearers of their
party two men who not only have the req
uisite qualifications to make good represen-
tatives, but great personal popularity that
will ensure them full vote of their party.
The Coalition candidates do not expect to
be elected. but they hope to reduce the
Democratic majority, and the Democrats
should see that they defeat them in that
purpose, and increase their usual majority.
All will have an opportunity at the primary
to express their choice, and those who fail
to secure the nomination of their preference,
should resolve to give an earnest and cor
dial and working support to the candidates
nominated.

SELF sTULTIFIcATIoN.-Ju T. T.
Fauntleroy, of the Virginia Supreme Court,
in recent speech, spoke of the platform Of
the Virginia Democrats as Il deliberate
and fragrant proclamation of self-stultifca-
tion and selfconfessed political profiigacy"
This les DIS the Richmond State to exhume
an extract from a speech made by Fauntle-
roy few years ago in the House Of Dele
gates, in which he referred to the United
States as ''bayonet-pinned, force-con-
structed, accused Union" Judge Faunt-
leroy is now one of the coalitionist is cooper
atipg with the Republican administration
at Washington, and the State intimates
voted for Col. Brady, bitter and relentless
Republican, for the clerliship Of the Su-
pfeme Court of Virginia. The State asks
the Judge whether there was ever such
decentralization as this?"

AFFRAY BETWEEN LABoREIs. - The
Wheeling papers report serious and fatal
accident which narrowly escaped being fol-
lowed by desperate affrdy at Sistersville,
Taylor county, w. Va. While two gangs
of laborers we're at work on the road-bed of
of the Ohio Valley Railroad, just North of
the town, it became necessary to fire d blast
in large rock. The men in the South end
of the cut (col) prepared the blast, and
warned the Italians in the North end to get
out of the way. The latter thinking there
was but little danger, only retired about
100 feet, seeking shelter behind rocks, &c.
When the explosion occurred two Of the
Italians were instantly killed by flying
rocks, their bodies being horribly mangled,
and several others were badly hurt. The
Italians at once asserted that the colored
boss was to blame for the accident, and
charged en- nadsSe on the colored men, arm
ed with revolvers, knives, clubs, and picks,
scattering them for miles down the river,
in many cases pursued and pursuers swim
ming the Ohio and carrying on running
fight considerable distance into the Ohio
hills Many of the colored men were bad
ly wounded in the chase, but no lives are
known to be lost.

as possible.
The Ricbmond Whig of The 18th says:

The Richmond Wing of the 18th says:
sgThe vicious assume virtues, though
thew have them not; the livery heaven is
put on for the service of the devil; false
prophets array themselves in Sleeps
clothing, although inwardly they are but
ravening wolves; the fiends of darkness
come as angels of light; and many prophesy
in His name Who, at the last, will declare
He never knew them"
When the Editor of the Richmond Wing
penned the above, was he thinking of the
declaration Of Malone that he was better
Democrat than Ben. Hill? or of the action
of Malone and his followers when they
were aiding the Republicans whilst pre-
tending to support the ticket of Hancock
and English?
The WAig continues as follows:
'EWe all know how often these things
happen; we all know, too, how often men
are led astray, or are betrayed to evil, by
these false pYetenses, artfuAy contrived;
but tile contrivancaS have to be artful, in
deed, to deceive the honest and intelligent,
and, when they lack this skillful disguise
of arr, good and true men only deride
them, while but the bad and false affect to
be deceived by them"
The history Of the Malone party shows
that such things do happen, and that men
are led tstray, and betrayed to evil by such
false pretenses, artfully contrived, and that
the honest and intelligent have discovered
the artful contrivances, the skiilful disguise
No 1o,, c,c,, oo1ooo1irrr 4ta,, aDd the Good
and true men only deride them, whilst but
the bad and false affect to be deceived by
them, The disguise is discovered, the de-
ception is detected. and scores who have
been led astray and been betrayed to evil
by false pretenses, are returning to the
fold, ceasing to do evil and learning to dc
good. The Editor of the Wing is skill
full thinner, and has drawn good picture
of Malone and his party. 1t is SO faithful,
and the likeness SO striking, that no one
can fail to recognize it.

No SIDE IssUEs.-In the coming cleo
ton, which will determine whether the
government Of this State shall be in the
hands Of the people or under the control Oh
an INSCRIPTIONS and tyrannical Boss, there
should BE- no side issues to divide the Dem
ocratic vote. 1t will be time enough to III
troduce such issues after the main and all
important issue shall be determined.
The opposi ton to the Democratic party
cannot be divided by any side issue that
may be introduced, and it would be the
very madness of folly for the Democrats
to allow themselves to be divided, and
hence 40 side issues should be allowed tc
enter the canvass. The issue in this can
vass il, whether the Democrats or the Goa
litionists shall rule this State.
As the Coalitionists are ruled by Boss,
and have 10 political liberty, it becomes
the duty Of ali vino desire to be freemen to
unite in opposition to the Boss-ruled party,
whatever their differences of opinion OF
minor questions may be. In this contest,
honest and liberty-loving Republicans, Re-
adjusters and Democrats, should unite
shoulder to shoulder.
