MADISON c. H., Va. February 22d.--This was
the day appointed by the county chairman of the
| rcadjusers TO hold 4 mass meeting TO consider
the propricty of nominating candidates for the
various county Offices for the ensuing spring eec-
ton. On the meeting assembling it was directly
apparent that there WAS great lack of enthusi-
aSm-tlat there is not the desired warmth The
meeting proved to be complete failure There
seems to be some opposition in making nomina-
tons for local elections to making it political
issue. Some of the present incumbcnts in office
are so thoroughly competent aud responsible that
they can and will be reelected, no matter what
their political affiliations may be- 1t was very
evident that the faithful prepared to make
the nominations to- day, or to consider the matter
After much effort on the part OF the chairman he
was able to get \ dozen or more votes on the or.
sanizati0n of the meeting. The Orator from the
Pines came to the relief of the mortified chair
man, and proposed that the meeting adjourn TO
March court Whcreupon the chairman adjourned
the mass meeting until March court day. AL

ton reduced the adinster majority in this couu-

do they only do so in counties where they have

that Malone got his tax collectors to agree

Of collecting the delinquent capitation tax
He replied by saying that Mahoue promised

in the case of the Albemarle collector by this

shows how well the work was done without

MAHoNE PROTESTS loudly against the
white people raising the issue of the color
line. His protest in the Senate against the
use of money in elections, was but little less
cheeky. Without Mahone's negro allies
his influence in Virginia would be confined
to scanty handful Of office holding and Of
flee seeking white scalawags, and he cannot
hold his negro troops together except by
raising the issue of the color line and ar
raging the negroes against the white people.
Was not the color line Mahone's main issue
in the last canvass Mahone's rallying cry
is Down with the white man, and up with
the negro? His speakers in the last canvass
proclaimed from the stump that "Arthur
was down in Virginia leading 12S,000 ne
groes in solid column to the rescue OF
John Wise and otherrepublican candidates"
Is it possible that Malone is weak enough
to suppose that the white people Of Virginia
will submit to, or tolerate, negro rule,
under his or any other scalawags lead-o
