DeyOut Thanks.
II was humiliating and eXasperating oc-
casion TO the good people OF Orange last
Thursday when such men as Lucien Minor
and Charles Walker presented themselves
At the polls and asked for the suiirages OF
their fellow-citizens." II Is with intense
satisfaction we chronicle the fact that our
people were equal to the emergency, ana
gave a proper rebuke TO asplrlng ignorance.
Such candidates as these are not the iirst
fruits of the Malone refine, but they are
nerhaps the bittereSt and most repulslye
features of the main plan yet outlined 10
I,s. We have seen faithful and efficient
nublic servants turned out OF Once 10
make place for the creatures OF tue despot-
i'm some cases ladies made 10 step down ana
out that brawny and stalwart men might
be provided fOr-but the climax was
reached when Lucien Minor and Charles
Walker were put forward rs administrators
OF the laws in county whose past Is 1lll OF
glory and whose present Is so lull OF nope
Let us render devout thanks that this
shame has been spared us !-Ordnge lT-
ginian.
And what will our honest white Read
busters say now when they see 10 what
complexion Malone and Mah0neism would
bring them? Negroes appointed by Ma
homemade Governor Cameron on the
School Board OF the capital city Of Nir-
ginia. and two negro candidates for public
Office in our own county! Is this the be-
ginning OF the end? Are our children to
sit at the feet OF black Gamaliels, who can
not spell their own names, in the pubic
schools! Is justice to be melted out 10
white men by negro magistrates
And vet all this is but small part OF
what Mahoneism means orange pUg'n-
ian.
The Constitution guarantees 70 the col
orcd man the right to vote, and 10 one de-
bars him from this privilege. Seii-preser-
yation, the supremacy OF peace and order
OF society, demand that the superior race
shall see that the Offices are filed and JUS
tice administered. not by ignorance and
dcprayity, but by intelligence and roSpcc-
liability. The colored race throughout the
State, from the results o. recent elections,
have commenced TO realize this fact Tor
their own interest and protectiOn.- Cdr6S-

How MahOne's pcnny-whistles dodge the
question Of endorsing the appointment OF
the two negroes on the Richmond School
Board is truly pitiable.-FrederichSburg

The people won't let the candidates for
the Legislature dodge the question when
these ask for their votes next fall.-Rich-

Oh. how the Coaltionists love the public
schools, which, they say, the Democrats
were trying to strlngle! So well do they
love them that they 20 among the negroes
to select their trustees.
Consider, honest Rcidiusters, what a
combination for evil are ignorance and
yice-titly typiied in the negroes and Ma

We believe Mahone's judiciary had much
to do with his defeat this spring. \ few
more OF such judges ~ he has in some
places would wreck any party. lie Will

The Dispatch and State have lashed
