Malone, the Traitor.
JOAQUIN MILLER's ESTIMATE OF THE PET
TY ROSS

Richmond Letter in Washington Post.
I find on coming down here and looking
facts in the face that he is himself declared
to be the author and inspiration Of the pa
pers published in the North proclaiming
Malone hero.
I find it proclaimed that while his fellow
Confederates have been struggling with
poverty and the calamities incident to war
and defeat, he has, by betraying them, be-
traying trust, betraying country, amassed
a fabulous fortune.
| find it maintained that he not only did
have the audaeity to levy an assessment on
all his oficeholders the other Gay, but had
the cowardice to disavow it all when his
own party papers of the North denounced
him and declared that he laid himself la
BILE to expulsion from the Senate.
And so it is from these and many like
revelations that are now being made that
I find my hero in his own home no hero at
all. Here, on his own ground, find him
not only helpless, bat despised. ooh, what
falling Off was there" my Hamlet.
Alas, and alas. for broken idols In Bos-
ton found that Gen. Butler was hated
heartily hated. But here l find that Saua-
tor Malone is not even hated at all. He is
merely despised. So long as man is ha-
ted there is hope for him. But when he is
merely despised that is the end.
Our Dennis Kearney, of California, who
used the same methods, appealed to the
same passions, although he attempted to
degrade still further degraded race and
thereby won my enmity is an ADLER man
to-day than Malone, ignorant and brutal as
he is. But Kearney misses Mahone's grip
and hold on the ignorant. He in fact has
not the sinews of war to tie his forces to-
gether with as his counterpart of this side
of the Rocky Mountains has.
Odd, is it not, that to-day two Of the no.
blest States of this Union have two of the
the toughest citizens in them at their head
Butler in Massachusetts, and Malone in
Virginia. And yet they are as wide apart
as possible. Butler now and. then gives
birth to thought or q scintillating sentence
that wakes one up. He is frank and fear
less quite southerner in his nature Ma
hone has never said anything that l can
now remember except that he is "a better
Democrat than the Democrats. But here
in his capital they will tell you that be is
better Yankee than the Yankees and could
skin the Connecticut man who sharpened
shoe-pegs and sold them for oats out of his
teeth

WHY ORDERS WERE NOT FILLED.-We take
this method ofinfornllng those who wrote to
us for copies of the SPECTATOR of lastweek and
the week before that the reason they were not
sent is, that we had Il ne TO send-all had been
disposed ofbefore their orders were received.
The demand was greater than we had expected,
and we did not make sufficient provision Tor it.,
and SO the demand was geeater than the sup
ply. We do not regret the demand, but the
want of supply.

''Birds of feather will flock together"
''We are for Arthur because Arthur is for
us" said the hungry, sharp-beaked, ragged
winged Virginia flock, as they flew on the
Presidential fence at Washington and
stretched out their beaks toward the
department officials. Arthur sinned against
Virginia, Malone sinned against the whole
country, for he tempted Arthur and over
threw all the pledges he made while Gar
field was dying, to be honest and virtuous.
What administration could have had the
effrontery to bring Bill Chandler into pub
lie view if it had not been for the philoso-
phy of Malone, which Arthur adopted.

For the SPECTATOR.
Timely Warning from West Virginia.

M. Mauzn 1t is currently spoken of
in this State-West Virginia-by the people,
that the leading men Of the Coalition party
held caucus meetings promu!gating the idea
of amalgamation, for the only purpose of
gaining the negro vote-saying that mixed
schools, mixed marriages, and general
equality acoud not reach them-only the low
er grades and more ignorant class of people
would have to bow to this diabolical dis
honor. The Straightout Republicans here
seem to protest and detest such wicked
and degraded course. Oh! what turpitude!
Wives and children, it is your imperative
and sacred duty to urge and invoke your
husbands and fathers to go to the polls and
refcue you from the hands of those white
livered, treacherous, unprincipled Bosses.
Citizens of Virginia, a'e you awake to your
duty, if in defence of your wives and chill
dren only. Revert to the vista of the past
and look into the future moment,-y
can see at once, that if you suffer this ty
rant to rule you, the misery that would be
entailed upon you cannot be half told.
Many people of this State are more than
anxious that the same good truths, logical
reasons, and perseverance, which have char
acterized your paper in the past may con
tinue in the future, and we believe you will
surely succeed in victory.
