Southern Noneense.

y, Y. Herald Qnd.),
The sooner the southern press
drop forever ali talk about "a war
of races the fewer northern friends
of the south will be alienated. The
recent street fight at Danvlile,
Va, which resulted in several un-
expected funerals, was no more a
war of races than Il fight between
a few colored men aud lrishmen
in New York would be, and the
attempt to make it appear SO Will
cost tho democratic party some
thousands of votes at the north.
Among the millions Of men who
know that a war Of races-of black
and white-is an utter impossI-
bility, none are moro unalt0rably
convinced than southern editors.
If they must pretend to the con-
trary they should be careful that
none of their papers go north.

FIRST FOOLS OF VIRGINIA.
One of them Strikes Senator
Nah0ne at the Polls.

Malone at the Polls.
PETERSBURG, Va, Noyember g.
For the first time in the history of
this state, AMI most likely Of any
other state, has one Of her represen>
tatives in the United States Senate
been assaulted ut a voting precinct.
In this particular Virginia has to-
day distinguished herself in the
person of one Of her senators, o-wit:
VIM. Mahone, the head and trout
of the readjuster party III this city.
The fourth ward Of this city has al
ways been one Of the democratic
strongholds, and it has been Senator
Mahone's ardent wish to dispossess
the enemy in that quarter. So
great was his anxiety in this re
spect that, accompanied by his SOD,
Mr.. Butler Malone, he drove up to
one Of the polls Of that ward this
afternoon to convince himself III
person of how things were going
There was considerable crowd
gathered at the poll, the colored
element largely predominating, and
i'll one place particularly there was
quite jam. All Of 1t sudden there
was rush toward Malone, who had
from his carriage, and
some one struck him squarely in
the face without, however, bruising
or otherwise seriously hurting him.
His son, who had remained seated
in the carriage, seeing his father
attacked, drew pistol and, it is
said, was about to fire it when some
one wrenched 1t away from him.
For a moment it looked as if q Sc
rious street fight was impending
1t was fortunate that the young
mans pistol was not fired, for the
people were greatly excited and there
was very general movement i'll
The direction of hip pockets. The
police, however, quelled the trouble
in its incipiency, and Senator Ma
none re-entered his carriage and |
lrOve away.

Two years ago an old German woman

husband. A year ago they sent money
by which their son, Andrew Witch, age
twenty, could come to America. Hearing
nothing from him and learning that he had

that their boy had been lost at sea. A
few days ago the mother saw tn Ger
man paper the announcement that the
Sheriff had gone to Sandusky for one

twenty-one. The thought came to her
that this might he,her lost boy. She went
TO Cleveland and asked to see the lad.
Witch had been very violent and was
in a nude state, as no article of clothing
could be kept on him. A blanket was
got about him, and the woman was called
into the corridor. When the little old wo-
man stepped up to the cell door and said
