Will Messrs. Webb, IIarnsberger, and
Herring tell the Democratic Reddiusters OF
Rockingham that they did not vote to so
reapportion the congressional districts OF
the State as TO give the Republicans ma
jority of the congressman! viii they tell
us how they will vote, if elected, when
this subject is again brought before the Lee
GESTURE? Are the Observation-Disclosures
OF Rockingham in favor OF voting to send
men to the Legislature who viii vote when
they get there to give the Republicans n
majority in the Congress OF the United
States! Let them answer at the polls in
November. Rockingham Register.
Press this question. IT is strong proof
OF the Republican sympathies OF MALONE
and his followers. There are fifty thou
sand moro people in the Democratic Lynch
burg district than there are in the ltepub-
lcan Fourth district; OF, to state il differ
entity, thirteen persons in the Republican
Fourth district were, under the MALONE
redistricting bill. to have as much weight
as eighteen persons Id the Democratic Sixth
district

sWe were glad 10 see in the convention
here yesterday SO many good, substantial
men who have heretofore acted with the
Readjuster party. Their appearance and
participation made our Coalition friends
open their eyes. and speak well for a
united Democracy. These are sensible
men all and we are glad TO have them with
us. They know the debt question is set

more natural than that they should take
their places in the ranks In opposition to
Malone and StalTart Radicalism!"

Cnestions Not Answered.

The Valley virginidR wanders from the
questions at issue between Us. 1t does not
deigu 10 tell us-what we asked it last
weck-how a man who does "not believe
that the colored people are prepared to
manage successfully the eolored schools
under a separate and distinct organiza-
ton can justify Governor CAMERoE's ap-
pointment OF two negroes 10 manage one
o. the largest and best high schools, and a
dozen Of the best grammar schools, in the
Stale.
Nor does it explain how it can be right
10 appoint two negroes upon the School
Board of Richmond il it would be wrong,
rs we understand that paper to concede, to
appoint majority OF negroes upon that
Board? Is ii because a majority OF the
pupils and people Of Richmond are white 7
Then, will the Virginidn admit that 1t
would approve Of the appointment Of q
majority OF negroes upon the Richmond
School Board il majority Of the people
and pupils OF Richmond were negroes
Does il, in word, hold that because
negroes are civilly and politically the
equals Of the whites before the law,
therefore they are entitled to equal
representation with the whites upon
the school board OF every county in
the Commonwealth? IL the negroes are
eatitled to clam to have any Of the trus-
tees OF the public schools of the State, they
are entitled to claim to have number pro-
portioned to the number of negro pupils
in those schools. Nay, more According
TO the teachings OF the Virginian-that is,
il carried into practicc-it would no more
be wrong to put a majority OF negroes
upon the school board OF each county than
it would be to put majority Of whites
upon the school board OF each county.
Now, these are questions which the Co
aiitionists cannot answer satisfactorily to
themselves, because thew cannot answer
them without damaging their cause in the
estimation either OF the whites or the
blacks. But the Democrats have no such
difficulty. They have no hesitation in de-
claring that though they will never con-
sent TO allow negroes to manage white
schools and elect and dismiss white teach
ers, they will grant to the negroes priyi-
lege like to that which they demand for
themseves-the privilege, namely, OF man.
aging negro schools and electing negro
teachers.

"The departments generally" don't
seem to care a tinkcr's malediction about
the Cooper assessment Washington Post.
COOPER" is the chairman OF the State
Committee of the Republican party OF
Pennsylvania, and has recently made re-
quest Of the Pennsylvania Department.
clerks for money TO aid in carrying the
fall elections in that State, but. alas, has
succeeded in getting fewer dimes than
-s. By Virginia reader. however,
Mr.. COOPER is best known as the gentle
man to whom Governor CAMERON recently
promised to give a thousand dollars for the
purpose mentioned above.
But the point we started ont to make Is
that General MALONE will get no more
money in Washington than Chairman
COOPER has got there. "The time is out
of Joint" Goodbye, General.

The Mandamus Case.

We have not converted with Senator
yovxsyoy in regard 10 the matter, and there
fore do not know upon what authorities he
relies to Justify his application for man
dqm,ls TO require Governor CAMERON to is
sue wrlts of elections TO the election-offi-
GERS Of the Thirty-6rst and Thirty-third
senatorial districts OF Virginia. But we
are inclined TO suppose that II elections
arc expected to be held in those districts
this fall. they must be held not against a'l-
thori,v. but ,ritkout authority, from
The Governor. The Senate being the
sole Judge of the elections oil It's
members can OF course seat the
persons thus irregularly elected senators il
II chooses 10 do so. II you doubt, recall
tho seating by the last House OF Delegates
OF two men from Rockbridge county who
not only had not been elected but had been
defeated, as Mr.. EVANS shows in bis letter
in this days Dispatch.
As 20 the mandamus, let Us say that thC
authorities are not all on one side. Judge
COOLEY. than whom there is no higher au
thori;y, says that in the discharge OF hi
duties under the Constitution" the Gov
eruor lis as independent OF the courts Al
he is OF the Legislature" and he (Judg'
CooLKY) cites the decisions OF ten State
10 sustain his doctrine, and, with iudicia
impar,iality, the decisions Of seven State
against 1t.
We refer TO this matter not only that The
Democrats may not harbor hopes destined
TO be Wasted, but because we entertain
serious doubts whether TIE courts Ought
ever to attempt to control the action of tho
Executive in the manner indicated.

A Washington letter in the Alexandria
Gazette says it is stated there by Virginia
Republican Of MALONE procliyities. who is
well posted in the affairs OF his party, as a
fact of which lie has personal knowledge,
that the editor Of leading New York Re-
publican journal, who is now denouncing
the Virginia Democrats for accepting the
position in which il has pleased Providence
to place them on the subject Of the State
debt, subscribed $500 to General MAHONE's
election fund for the Legislature which
PASSED the RIDDLEBERGER bill.
go also it may be said that though in his
curial character Judge BOND is rot an ally
Of the Mahoneites, yet as Republican he
IS, as we said the other day, one OF their
faithful allies, and rs bitter an enemy to the
Democratic party as General MALONE him
| self.

COMPLIMENTARY TO THE NEGRo.-The
Valley Virginidn, replying to the Dispatch,
commits itself as follows:
"While the object Of the resolution
adopted by the Lynchburg Convention was
evidently to deceive the oolored people by
flattering them with deceptive PROPOSE
ton to surrender to them the exclusive
control OF their own schools, the practical
enforcement Of the policy involved in that
resolve would be to initiate against their
efficiency and tend to their final dissolu-
tion."
Why? Because the negroes are unfit to
manage even schools for their own race.
The Firqinian will not say that to have
white trustees to manage white schools
would be ito initiate against their eff
cheney and tend TO their final dissolution
But il does say that TO have negro trustees
to manage negro schools would have that
effect Why? Because the negroes are
unfit to manage even their own schools
And yet the same paper iustifies CAMERON
FAIR, and BLAII's act OF appointing two
negroes TO manage the public schools Of
Richmond.
Again: The Virqiniaa says:
1.-THE hope was doubtless entertained
when the Lynchburg Convention accepted
the resolution OF the Rockingham DE.
mocracy that IL would accomplish two oh.
jccts: First, draw to the support OF tho
Bourbons portion OF the colored vote
and second, by the operation Of the policy
ii suggests destroy the colored schools"
The resolution OF the Lynchbug Con
yention suggests, says our contemporary
policy which would by its operation
ssdestrCy The coiored schools" Howl TIL
resolution demands separate schools 70
the two races, and also white teachers 70
white schools and negro teachers For negr,
schools. The Virginian seconds those de
mands. What else does the resolution de
maud? Why, negro trustees for negro
schools; and this 1t is that would de
stroy the eolored schools" Nothing else
Read the resolution once more, aud vol
viii see that there is absolutely nothins
else In 1t. We quote II once more:
"Wc oppose the mixing OF the white and
colored races In the public schools, and Tho
plseing OF eolored trustees and teacher,
over white children, and are In favor OF
preserving the school organizations for the
TWO races rs separate and distinct as posi-.
bic. giving TO the colored people for their
schools all the preferences aud privileges
which we demand for the white, including
colored trustees and teachers, and making
no discrimination In the distribution Of
school funds on account Of color; and we
pledge the Democratic party TO adopt ali
necessary legislation 10 perfect this plan as
Dest Tor all concerned
The reader win n once see that In the
above resolution there Is no proposition
laid down which the Fallsy viyinian does
nst approve, except the proposition to ap-
point negro trustees for negro schools.

Page for the Senate, and Captain s. II.

Mr.. Dezendorf, when asked by the Ga
zette'S correspondent to-day il the report
was true that he had been sent for by Gene
eral Malone, when the General was last in
the city. replied that he was not in the city
when the General was here, and had re-
ceived no such message, but that upon his
return he had been informed by friend
that such message had been sent. Con-
tinung, he said that had he received such 4
message he should have replied that he was
not an applicant for any Office, was a pri.
vate citiaen, and therefore the superior OF
General Malone. who, according to the late
President Gariield's definition OF Office
holders, was servant OF the people. and
that IL the General wanted TO see him he
knew where his Office was and could come
to see him as other people did who had
business with him. With reference to the
campaign in his State he said General Ma

Mahoneites OF the Elizabeth City senatorial
district had nominated colored man
named Norton, and those Of the Sussex and
