The New Device Of the Coalitionists.
IT WILL NOT SUCCEED IF THE DEMOCRATS
BE WISE.

As the debt question has been finally set
tied and can no longer be made an issue to
divide the Democratic party, SO that the
negro vote may determine the result of the
elections in this and other Southern States,
the device nowadopted by the Coalition par
ty is, to make the tariff question the issue,
in the hope that the Democrats will divide
to a sufficient degree upon that, as upon
the debt question in this State, to give the
negro vote the control of the Southern
States. AS we are assured, upon biblical
authority, that Gin vain is a net spread in
sight of any bird" we do not think that
the Democrats can be thus caught. They
should be as wise as the birds, and avoid the
net. Should they accept the invitation of the
Coalition spider ''to walk into its parlor, -
they would be more foolish than the 'fy''
that, knowing what would be its fate, wise
ly declined. The Coalitionists have deter
mined that the tariff question can be made
an ''apple of discord, and hope that by its
use they will succeed in producing distrac-
ton and division in the Democratic party,
and hence it is that they are making every
effort to make the tariff question the prin-
cipal, if not sole, issue. Democrats are not
so foolish as to suffer their party to be di-
vided to any considerable degree upon that
question.

ssA Renegade Worse than ten Turks"

As the Richmond State says, s'there Is no
truer adage extant than this, and events oc-
curing now in Virginia give it the fullest
proof. The renegades in our politics, who
are now leading and advising the negroes
against their own flesh and blood, are even
more truculent and vindictive, and with
far less cause, than the renegade Gertys of
old, who left their own people to join the
savages in the early pioneer days of Ohio
and Kentucky, and were more cruel in de-
vising fortunes for the white prisoners at
the stake than the Indians themselves
Through all the dark days of reconstruction
the northern Radical carpet-baggers and
Federal officers who controlled our negroes
never went to the length that Cameron,
Farr, and Blair, under instructions from
that wretched little knave Malone, have
gone in giving preference and place to the
negro.
Even though they were our actual enc
mics, from whom we had no right to ex-
pect anything but the harshest treatment,
to whom we could look for no indulgence,
yet even they respected our feelings to the
extent of not forcing the negro into posi-
tions which would bring him in close rela-
tions with our families. They never placed
negroes on the School Board, or even in
the City Council, over both of which they
had full control and for the delicacy they
exhibited in this regard we feel grateful.
But how different the treatment we are
now receiving at the hands of our own!
The very men who then were loudest in
their demand that the negro should be COM
PEELED ''to keep his, place." are now the
ones who take him out of "his place" and
put him over the white women and chill
dren whom they have SO basely betrayed.
They are the men-three renegade whites
who are the first to introduce the African
into our schools, which even the Yankees
spared, and kept pure for us; and by that
vile act and by other acts and declarations
as base are making manifest their intention
to force social equality so far as they posi-
bly, can upon the white people of Virginia;
and their dupes, the negroes, IN playing
into their hands by accepting these places,
are SO blinded by the glitter of the bait they
cannot see that they are only fastening
their own ruin.
Yes, the Yankees while they were in
absolute control here from 1866 to 1870 re-
spected our prejudice of race and color, at
least SO far as to spare us that insult. They
never once attempted to force anything
bordering on social relations between us and
the negro, but drew the line strickly, and
| kindly saved us the humiliation to which
Malone and his renegades have now sub
jected us by forcing the negro into our
public schools, which is but the first step to
forcing him into our parlors and to place
at our tables"

A PAINFUL AccIDENT.-Dr. W. A. Bell,

seeing as he thought favorable opportu-

and carefully attended by his companions,
two of whom, fortunately, had some medi-

Having learned that some of my friends

Office of Commonwealth Attorney, at the
approaching election, 1 deem it proper to
say, that am not and hare not been can
didate for the place. do not desire to be

to be my friend shall vote for me in this
election. If were elected under the cir

have no intention or expectation of electing
me, but by swapping votes they hope to
elect their candidates to other offices.

Not for the Information of the Gazette's
Virginia readers, for they, to their great
sorrow, are fully acquainted with the char
acter of the justice administered by Gen.
eral Mahone's judges, but that its Northern
readers may conceive faint PERCEPTION of
that justice, it alludes to a recent decision
of one of the judges referred to in county
in the southwest portion of the State. Some
men were indicted there for gambling. The
law upon the subject reads as follows If a
person gamble sat any ordinary, race field
or other place, he shall be fined thirty dol
lars and give good security for good beha-
vior." AS it is understood the judge Of the
county was one of the parties under indict-
ment, judge from another county had to
try the case, and he decided that the word
ordinary in the law to which reference is
made was not noun, and did not signify a
tavern, but was an adjective and related to
the succeeding word, race-feld, and that
as the accused were not charged with gam
bling at race-field they must be dis
charged as the indictment was detective

SILLY APPLICATION OF NAMES. the
Leesburg Washingtonian says, Sin the his
tory of political parties in this country
there does not occur more silly applica-
ton of names for parties than Mahone's
organs are using in this State. They style
themselves 'Readjusters,' when there is
nothing to readjust, and their opponents
Funders, when the only funding to be
done is the 'refunding' of the debt under
the Riddleberger bill. They are silly
enough TO suppose the Democrats are vexed
at being called 'Funders.' Why, bless your
simple souls, every Democrat in the State,
who fought the battle of our State credit,
who asked to be taxed and burthened to
bear up proudly and honorably the good
name and fair fame of the Commonwealth,
will boast of it as the modest of his po-
litical acts, and whose children will be
proud to be told their fathers stood firmly
for the payment of every dollar their State
owed We are all certainly willing to let
the outside world pass judgment on the
course of the parties to this issue. History
will take care of the part we all have
borne, and award honor or shame where it
belongs. We court her decision"
The Richmond State says The debt has
been readiusted, the cause of the detection
of those Democrats who left the party and
joined Malone, not for the spoils of office,
but to obtain the settlement of the debt as
promised by him, having no further cause
Of quarrel or reason for their secession,
should at once return to their old party
associations, and resume their places, which
are still open to them. just as they we're
left in 1879.
