ratified in 1879 il 1t had not been Tor the
votes OF the negroes-meaning by ratinca-
tion the election OF Legislature pledged
to its support? Weare astonished that any
man should doubt the fact. IL ought TO DE
sufficient to say that whatever might have
been the case west OF the Blue Ridge, in
nearly every county in Tidewater and
Piedmont Virginia a majority OF the
whites voted for candidates pledged to the
support OF the McCULLoCH settlement. IL,
therefore. none but white votes had been
cast in 1879, these Underwater and Piedmont
counties would have elected friends OF the
MCCuLLocH settlement, and.it would have
been ratified. Therefore, but for the voters
made such by the fifteenth amendment, the
MCCULLocH bill would have been ratified
in 1879.
Let us enter into few details. The state
OF parties in the House OF Delegates will
serve to illustrate the state OF parties in
both houses. The House Of Delegates con-
tanned, we think, AZ Funders and So Read
justers. II, therefore, only nine more
Funders had been elected the Funder:
would have had majority in that branch
OF the General Assembly. Can anybody
doubt that but for the negro vote there
would have been, instead OF only nine
twenty more Funders chosenP Here are {
few figures which will settle the question
WATKINS, OF Appomattox. was elected
by 165 majority. LINKESHoKER, Of BOte
tourt, by 20 majority. CHAPMAN, OF Glou
cester, was elected by small majority,
county containing many negro voters
WADDELL, OF Isle OF Wight, by 1874 ma
jority. WALES, Of Louisa, by 100 majority
BELL, of Matthews and MiddleseX. by ~
majority. Norfolk city elected two Read
iusters 10y less than 90 majority. Peters
burg two by about 800 majority. Ed
WARDS, OF Portsmouth, got the certificate
of election after tie vote. Rockbridg'
sent two Readjusters by about $50 ma
iority. Wythe Resdiuster by 81 ma
iority.
These fourteen delegates were enough t.
turn the scale. But these are not all tn
counties by any means which but for tn
negro vote would have elected delegate
in favor Of the McCULLoCH settlement. II
fact, we really suppose that majority o
the white votes in all but every count
east of the Blue Ridge were in favor OF tb
MCCULLOCH settlement. Certainly it can
not be said that the Democrats carried b.
negro votes any county in which maiorit
OF the white voters were Resdiusters.
The question as to the popular majority
taking all the State together, is not so easil
disposed Of. We address ourselves q
present only to the point that the negroe
turned the scale in the General Assembly

The Turning Point.


Nobody knows better than General MA
HONE that to be defeated this fall is to be
defeated for life, so far as the political
world Is concerned. He is not favored
with the gifts which enable certain men to
rise superior TO any fortune. His methods
are such that II they fail him once, he is
"done for" II. therefore, he fails
to elect MALONE Legislature this
year, he may be regarded as having gone
down among the dead men. The Nation
speaks OF him in such sort that whoever
reads its utterances must acknowledge that
there Is at least one paper OF Republican
sympathies-nay. two, for The Nation and
the New York Evening Post are under the
same control-which will never bend the
knee to the little General. 1t speaks very
confidently, too, as to what will happen
TO him aext year. The following alludes
to the probability that the BLAINE men viii
send anti-MAuoNE delegates to the next
Republican National Convention. Read:
"These anti Malone delegations, If the,
are sent, will apply for admission rs regu
lar Republicans, and the Convention vii
have to decide between them and the Ma
hone delegations. This would raise an in
terestlng question in the Conventions; bu
unless northern Republican sentimen
changes radically duringsthe next eight o.

Malone, He has never been popular witt

and the delegates from those sections coult
hardly be so sh0rt-sighted as think OF ear

Read that, We ofice.seekers. Genera
MAHoNE's delegates cannot get INTO th,

"sniess northern Republican sentiment
changes radically during the merit eight on

by that time have cut himself of entirely

TO the Republican National Convention
The members Of that Convention will
know, therefore, that he cannot help him.

SPEAKER FAILS TO CONE TO TIME-C0-
ALITI0N DEM0RALIzATION.
Correspondence of the Richmond DisDatch.I
WILLIAMSBURG. September 7, 1883.
Yesterday was County-Court day ut
Yorktown. but no business OF importance
was transacted, and the court was not in
session more than an hour. Upon its adj
journment Marius Jones, Esq, OF Glouces-
ter county. addressed the Democrats in n
well-timcd speech, fearlessly championing
the cause Of political independence as OPP
posed to system OF unscrupulous bossism.
The Democrats Of York county are thor
oughly organized, and have gone to work.
Last spring both Democratic treasurer
and Commonwealth attorney were elect
ed. Mr.. w. G. Jones, OF Hanover, was
also to have spoken at Yorktown yester-
day. II he was there he was not visible
to mortal eyes.
The Mahoneite faction in York county
are having it out with each other in true
hammer-and-tongs fashion. The Coalition
convention in Wiliamsburgproduced great
dissatisfaction on all sides, and shortly
afterwards meeting was held in York
town, in which the war was carried into
the very heart Of Africa. As hostile forces
now stand the supporters Of Griffin for the
House swear they will not support Norton
for the Senate or any thing else, and uice
versa. 1t is said that Robert Norton is
going to run for the House on his own
hook, and it is also stated that an anti
Norton Indignation meeting is in prepara-
ton in Hampton. How all of the white Ma
honeites regard the wrangle between their
brethren in black, whom they are expected
to support, Is hard to tell, but have per-
sonal knowledge that some have sickened
unto death, and that more are sickening.
1t is thought that Malone will exercise his
prerogatiye and boss the factions into obe-
dience to his wishes.

Queens life. and the King offered to re-
ward him with any rank OF honor which
he might aspire to. His reply was: ~

order that may see and study the civili-

called upon Christian japanese for the
purpose Of acquainting himself with the
claims and objects Of Christianity. He was

Cabell on Conrad.

ShDtii
President Conrad, OF Blacksburg Col
lege. was here on Monday. He didn't
want to be here. but he had to be here.
He was here by appointment Of civilian
Malone, chairman" Conrad was here two
years ago, but then he was what he isn't
now-or, rather, he is now what he wasn't
then. He is something else-something al
together and immeasurably else and less.
Then he was tip-t0p. rampant Democrat.
But the times changed and he changed with
them. He shed his Democracy as q snake
sheds its skin. He roosts high on the CO.
aiton fence, and can't say what his poll
ties are now or what they will be six
months hence. He doesn't believe in party
names, he says.
President Conrad doesn't like Pulaski,
we think. II he didn't like it before he
likes it a great deal less since Monday, and
there is no liking lost so far as Pulaski is
concerned. Mankind generally like things
that suit them and dislike things that don't.
The crowd here Monday evidently didn't
suit Conrad. 1t was very large crowd,
very orderly crowd, very respectable
crowd, and very attentive crowd, but it
was Of different kind and complexion
from what he is Of late wont to mix with
and address. 1t was an Anglo-Saxon
crowd, and, to Judge from his remarks, he
hasn't much in common with that sort OF
crowd.
This crowd came to hear Cabell. but they
heard Conrad likewise. A division OF
time was agreed upon, Csnrad to lead of
in an hour, Cabell to follow in an hour,
and each to have thirty minutes TO close.
Conrad consumed twenty minutes OF his
time in platitudes and insipid generalities.
He then took up in order the unfinished
Malone legislation (f)-to wit: the CON-
mlssioner-of-sales bill. the railroad bill,
the judicial bill, the redistricting bill (pro-
perly colored and gerrymandered), and
then perforated with the usual clap-trap
about the schools. These matters were
discussed feebly and Indefinitely, as though
by man who had little or no faith either
in his advocacy or in what he was advocat-
ing. The passage OF sad-iron over wet
cloth aptly describes the effect OF the
speech. Not face frightened, not hand
lifted, not cheer was heard throughout
the speech.
The hush was broken when Cabell arose.
The wel-known Pulaski Democratic veil,
'--'~" hsss e"iiiSN W
so many Coalition hearts. greeted his ap-
pearance with redoubled volume. Colonel
Cabell Is an old campaigner, and be mea-
sured the expectation OF the crowd at O

didn'twant instruction. They were already
Instructed. They were hungry for some

dent Afforded fit subject for their amuse-
ment. They knew him and all his ways
