Mahone's Circular.
RICHMOND, Va, November 30.-The
Democratic State Central Committee,
signed by John s. Brbour, chairman, and
others, has issued an address to the people
Of the State, concerning the condition Of the
State, the late election, the Danyille affair,
and answering Senator Mahone's recent
statements.
In speaking OF the colored race the ad.
dress rays: The colored race, ipilaned by
ambitious 'demagogues, with unreasoning
prejudice against their white fellow-citizsns,
were led, with rare exceptions, in solid
battalions to cast their votes against the
party now triumphant; no trace OF passion
or resentment against the colored people
will find any place in the conduct or the
legislation OF that party. The liberal decla-
ration OF principles to which the Demo.
cratic party pledged themselves In July
last, when they asked the votes OF the peo-
pie, will not cease to be their guide in the
hour OF victory. Every pledge OF that de-
claration will be fulfilled as the most ga
cred promise" s. ll,3 Il
The address totally denies the statements
OF Senator Malone charging intimidation,
murder and bloodshed in Charles City,
Halifax, Hanover, Floyd, Augusta, Madi.
son and Lee counties. Il
TIE DANvILLE AFFAIR.
In regard to the affair at Danville the
report OF the Committee OF Forty is incor-
porated in the address, which places the
blame for the disturbance Of November 8
on the negroes, claiming that they were
the aggressors. The results that followed
are summed up rs follows:
That the negroes mainly abstained from
voting in this town was.the result Of an
order from their leaders designed to effect
a party mar arUlvre-namely,,t u to lay foun-
dation to contest the seats OF the Demo.
Gratis in tho county OF Pittsylvania, EN-.
bracing Danvilie, was certain to elect, Il
being well known that the+whole negro
vote Of DAnville would not avail against
the overwhelming Democratic majority In
the county, with which 1t must be reck-
oned. M NJ
