What Did II.

The New York Sun cannot reconcile the
Virginia election facts and figures with the
statement made by MALONE and reiterated
nv R,ppLEBERCER, that the result OF the
election in virginia Is attributable to the
intimidation OF the colored voters in con-
nection with the Danville riot" On the
contrary, II thinks that that statement re-
ceiycs an emphatic refutation in the re-
turns from all sections OF the State. After
giving some figures from the black belt 10
sustain It's position, the Sun says:
"In the back tier Of southwestern coun-
Ties. heretofore Readjuster stronghoids,
and where news Of the Danville affair was
not generally known, II at all, on election
day, the uprising against Mahoneism, as
shown by the returns just in, was as de-
termired and as forceiul as elsewhere.
The same may be said OF Westmoreand,
Northumberland, Lancaster. Richmond,
and Essex counties, remote from railroads.
and telegraphic communication, and where
the news from Danville was not heard
until after election-day. IL was not IN
timidation, but the arousing OF the I'M
mense reserve white vote, which showed
Mahoneism under a popular majority OF
about 25,000."
Yes, the reserve white vote helped to do
II, but more potent agency was the re-
vulsion against MAuoNE's tyranny and his
efforts to Republicanize Virginia which
took place among the whites who had afii-
Hated with him on the readiustment issue.

Republican Forebodings.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Is
another Republican journal that makes the
l,auyille riot the occasion Of raising the
bloody shirt and lashing itself into frenzy.
In an editorial Misrepresentation the
facts in the case II says:
evidence accumulates that the Danyille
sriot,' rs II Is called. was deliberately
planned by the Bourbons to intimidate the
negroes and prevent them from voting the
CoGlltion ticket. To effect this u was ne
cessary TO precipitate row and furn'sh u
pretext for the attack on the blacks"
We do not publish the above for the pur-
pose Of denying u-that would be unne-
cessary-but az showing that "evidence
accumuIates " to prove what crushing
blow the Virginia victory was to the Re
publican party throughout the country.
Its only hope for 1884 is to fire the north
ern heart, and in attempting to do so It
conicsscs TO generalization and forebo-
dincs OF disaster. The rawlings OF the Ma
fional Republican and the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin do not amount to much,
but It is a good sign TO see such papers as
the Commercial Gazette lose their heads.
We could ask TO fuller acknowledgment
that they see the handwriting on the wall.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-11-13
The Meaning of II.

The Brooklyn Eagle agrees with the
Dispatch as to the far-reacbing results OF
the Virginia victory. Indeed, 1t fully
sustains us in the position we took last
"Wednesday morning that our triumph
ais a victory for the National Democratic
party,v and "blazes the way to the cleo
ton Of q Democrat TO be President OF the
United States.v In its issue OF FRIDAY,
under the caption OF Brighter Prospects
for virginia. it sets forth most intelli
gently the condition Of affairs that had
been brought about by Mahoneism, and,
after enumerating the advantages that Will
accrue to the State from its overthrow,
says:
"Ano,her satisfactory consequence OF
Tuesdays work, beside the complete frac-
ture OF the Coalition, is the assurance that
the electoral vote OF Virginia will be cast
for the Democratic candidate ut the APP
preaching presidential election. Nothing
in politics can be more certain than this,
and the party which has subsisted upon
principle in the exile OF opposition for SO
many wears finds fresh encouragement IN
the work OF the intelligent people OF
Commonwealth that has been run pretty
close to the edge of rum by the joint ae-
ton of Mr.. Malone and the grand old
Republican, party"
In view OF the fact that the electoral vote
Of Virginia carries with it the electoral vote
of every southern State, the prophesy we
read between the lines OF the above para
graph is certain of fulfilment.

As nur Neicnbors Sec II.

Prominent business-bouses IN Richmond
continue TO receive from all points letters
containing the heartiest congratulations
upon the deIivcrance Of Virginia from the
horrors OF Malloneism. Here Is another
from New York:
owe cannot sufficiently congratulate
you. and all vour people, for the inestima-
bic blessing Of being relieved from the dis
grace OF MaboDeism."
Here is one from Charleston. s. c.:
"we know how your people feel over
the result OF your election. We expert
enced the same pleasure in 1876. and have
enjoyed it ever since, and propose TO con-
tinue TO do So"
Here Is one from Chicago. The writer
Is Pennsylvania by birth:
"Let me congratulate you on the bril-
liant success OF Tuesday last. Your people
have redeemed themselves fully, and de-
serve every commentator. The interest
In the Virginia election was more intense
with us than that Of any other State, and
hope that Mahoneism and Butlerism, and
all that they imply, will he buried so deep
that no resurrecting angel will ever be able
TO find them. OF course the opposition
will endeavor TO make capital out OF the
cries OF intimidation ut the polls shot
gun policy solid Sonth.' and kindred
expressions, but the better class OF people
North will not be moved by such misrepre-
sensations. There are other States where
polItical wreckers need the lesson admin
istered TO Malone and Butler, and when
that time comes-and come it will
the atmosphere will be clearer, and a
cleaner and sweeter sentiment will every
where prevail, both in public and private
lie. We all say, Well done. Your TRIALS
ale now a thing Of the past, and Virginia
again takes her proper place, free from the
plague chat cursed her."
Here is one from Baltimore:
owe all appreciate your Joy and the
feeling OF relief you experience in getting
rid of Mabonesm. The scourge has been
terrible to your people and disgrace to
our country. We can all rejoice that the
defeat is so thorough"
These letters, taken in connection with
the declaration OF northern gentleman
who owns a large estate near Richmond,
that although his property had increased
in value, he bad determined in case OF CO.
ahtion success TO sell out and leave the
State. naturally suggest this question:
What becomes of the prediction OF GER
tain Coalition leaders that the result in
Virginia will deter northern capital from
coming into the State?

PORTSMOUTH, Va, November IL, 1888.
On Saturday night Mr.. Asa BiRgs,
Young farmer residing In Southampton
county. three miles from Franklin, was
burned to death and his wife so terribly
injured that her death Is momentarily eX.
pected. Mr.. Biggs was about to retire, ana
was walking across his room with kero-
sene lamp in his hand, when 1t exploded,
covering him from head to foot with burn
ing oil. Mrs. Biggs in going TO her nus
bands assistance had her clothing ignited,
and she, too, was soon a mass OF flame. In
the mean time, the particles OF burning oil
distributed about the room bad set The
house on fire. Mrs. Biggs. by desperate
excrtion, managed to escape from the house.
The building and its contents were totally
destroyed, and only the bones OF Mr.. Blggs
were recovered from the ashes.
The deceased was formerly resident OF
Norfolk city. He was son OF Judge
Biggs, OF North Carolina, and nephew OF
Colonel RAIDER Biggs, OF Norfolk. lie was
married few years ago to Miss Massen-
berg.
The house destroyed is one OF the his
toric mansions OF that section. 1t was for
many years the residence OF the Massen-
berg family, from which was dispensed the
typical Virginia hospitality. Whether 1t
was the fox.hunt or the dance, 1.-THE SER
mon or the song" it was always resort at
which the flower OF the young folk OF
Tldewater Virginia were delighted to as
semble and while away the hours OF sport
and merriment. The mansion was built Of
old colonial brick, and In true antique, CO.
lossal STYLE. 1t had the large hallway and
spacious rooms, and was considered relic
OF ante-revolutionary days.
