THE republican senators know how false arc
the malicious representations of some opposi-
tion newspapers concerning the attitude of
Gen. Malone toward them. These mischief
makers would have the public believe that
Malone and Riddleborger were capable of the
manners of bourbon bulldozers instead of be-
ing well-bohaved and high-minded gentle
men. Hence the frequent references to i'm
aginary demands on tho one side, and stern
refusal on the other We can assure these
democratic knights of the quill and their
proinpters that they are all Oh the wrong scent.
There will be no friction among tho forty
senators who represent the civiliza-
tion of the ago as opposed to tho
Danyille democracy. There is nothi ng
connected with the coming reorganization OF
the senate out of which the enemy will al
any time be able to derive the least crumb OF
comfort. Tho Virginia senators have no
thoughts which bear any resemblance to the

Tho Need OF a Solid North.

: LOT0HefcIuI Ud-tIt.
If the democracydo not want the red flag run
up again they should not hoist black flag. If
they deprecate the use in politics of garments
rolled in blood they should not commit murder
for the sake of drawing the race line, and giving
the democratic party the advantage Of 1853 cleo
toral votes to start with in the presidential cam
paign. The democratic party would have been
stronger before the country at large without Vir-
ginia than with it, but the bourbons did not think
so. and there arose fierce and terrible spirit Of
vengeance in the breasts Of the politicians, who
console themselves for the loss of tho southern
confederacy in the solid south, and the Danvllle
massacre was the result. To put down this sort
of rebellion, and finally keep the peace, there is
needed the solid north.

Tho Funniest Thing on Earth.


A number of loud -mouthed Kentuckians have
gone on to Washington to help Mr.. Carlisle be
elected to the speakership, and 1t is feared their
nl-timed bloviatlon will irreparably injure that
persons chances. This is to be regretted. The
republicans are dependent upon the present con-
gress for large amount of efficient service toward
electlnga republican president next year. With
FREQ trade speaker as their acknowledged aud
chosen leader. the democrats would at the very
start be In fair way to furnish food for the repnb-
licans year hence, If there Is anything funnier
thana free trade speaker and fool democratic
congress, the republican party has yet to find 1t
ont.

THE republican party of tho nation will
not be likely to either indorse or condemn
the action of Virginia in the matter of her
debt settlement. 1t is not question over
which the national government has any con-
troll, and the national republican party will
in its national convention and platform nat
urally deal only with national concerns. But
it will affiliate with all in Virginia and else
where who agree with it as to national af-
fairs. This is the dictate of common sense,
and we do not believe there is any difference
of opinion about it.

One of the Librarians of the state department re-
ports that Mr.. Spollord the librarian of congress,
sent to them the other day and asked for any old
lumber they did not need. This gentleman said
1t transpred that Mr. spofford wanted stack OF
worthless stuff to pile up ON the floor in the al
coves. so that congressman would be impressed
with the necessity for an appropriation for a new
national library building He says that this is the
reason he has spent the last two or three months
piling up old books all around the gallery of
saltuGry hall, in plain sight from the floor below,
in order to impress every one who passes throug h
with the need of the proposed edihce.

The Garrulous wnd Man OF Virginia.

Mr. Dezendorf, the garrulous wild man Of Bor-
neo from Virginia, is busying himself these days
abusing Malone and Mahone's methods He has
good reason to squeal, and so has that other fell

squealers are, without exception, those whom
Malone has pinched. Malone deserves good
deal OF credit one way and another. He may not
have squeezed many OF his own kind into the

the other kind out. and he is entitled to some
gratitude for that much public service.

TIE NAN ON THE AVENUE.
small TaIL About Men and Measures.

Said a politician last night, ~ saw by THE
REPUBLICAN this morning that visitor in
Washington, who had occasion to cross tho
state of Virginia this week, counted 1900
Virginia democrats tramping to the nations
capital to secure positions under the demo-
cratic house. This is undoubtedly n republi-
can lio.
"In the first place, no such force could bo
spared from that state since election, because
every able-bodiod bourbon who can bear
arms has felt obliged TO patrol his section,
shotgun in hand, to prevent o negro insur-
rection and, therefore, some of this 5000
must have come from other states and were
credited to Virginia because thoy were seen
on Virginia soil.
"Then, again, Virginia Is not the only
state that claims recognition at tho hands Of
the lower branch of congress. There are
Mississippians and Texans who started from
homo just after the Ohio election, who were
due on Old Dominion territory, in their tramp
here, just about this week, and who will be
here when the divy is made of the places
about the capitol. And, then, what makes
tho story still more improbable is the fact
that the Virginia legislature meets very soon,
and has certain offices in its gift now filed
by readju and no true son of Virginia
would offer himself as o sacrifice on the altar
of his whole country as long as there was an
official cuspidor to clean in his native state.
Therefore you can set this yarn about the
5000 Virginia democrats down as a ropubli-
can campaign dodge to detract from the glory
of tho democratic victory in that state. No,
sar there is no Virginian who would accept
o national appointment while there was
lamp to guide his feet to berth in the state
house in Richmond"

A Virginia gentleman, who halls from the
southwestern portion of the state, said last
evening, while conversing rather freely with
friend, that the Danville business had been
determined upon days before it occurred, as
it had then become apparent that unless
something was done TO check Malone he
would carry the state beyond oil doubt. He
said, "Our managers had gone over the situ-
alton carefully, and saw that it was abso-
lutely necessary to adopt heroic measures to
convince the negroes that they would have
to refrain from voting the Malone ticket
l don't know exactly what precipitated mat
ters at Danville, but such an event had been
carefully prepared for by us, and its effect
had been calculated. We had made up our
minds fully to one thing; We intended to
beat Malone at all costs. and if we had failed
| don't think he would have been alive to-
day. We intended to redeem Virginia if il
took hundred negroes and tho whole Malone
| family to accomplish it,"

fact that II was understood that John c..

other defendants. His countenance is not
so frank and open as 1t might be, and his
manner OF testifying Is rather against him.

evidence corresponds exactly with the story
told by Pettus and Clement. He attempts
TO account for his actions on the after.

chances are tina, ais story As to taking
his wife and children hoiae' about o C.oc K
on that evening can be substantiated oy
good disinterested witness, but sttll this
would not do away with the theory Of his
guilt, as the defense will hold that shortly
after Miss Bond was taken up In the loft
and after she was abused Montgomery left
and went over TO Mrs. Petlus's and took
his wife home. This theory will correspond
to the statement by Miss Bond vt first that
when she recovered Consciousness she only
saw two men in the lott. His testimony
Is sample Of the evidence OF the other
defendants heretofore published.
JOSEPH YoNKERs' TESTIMONY.
Joseph Ionkers was the next witness
called. He lives about one eighth Of mile
from the Montgomery school-hcuse, aud is
brother-in.law OF John Montgomery.

afternoon OF the outrage, and remained at
