How RIDDLEERGER SLABS MAHoNE.-
The following, in reference to Abram Full
kerson, is from Riddleberger's paper, the
Woodstock Viyginian:-
"Of course Abram is honest. He must
be SO since he says so. His record, too,
bears him out. He canvassed as demo-
GRAFT and declared he was better democrat
than funders. His first vote in Congress
was for Republican speaker, Keifer, over
the nominee of the democratic caucus
Good kind of honesty, that. Abram has
lots of that kind Of honesty in politics..
That is the 'good kind of honesty
shown by Mahone,- who ''has lots of that
kind of honesty in politics, when, whilst
proclaiming himself better Democrat than
Senator B. Fl. Hill of Georgia, he, by his
vote, gave the organization of the Senate to
the Republicans, with whom he continued
to vote.
In making this thrust at Fulkerson, Rid
dleberger has stabbed, under the fifth rib,
his Boss, Malone. In view Of this unex-
pected stab inflicted by Riddleberger, Ma
hone might well exclaimed tn Rrate-ex-
cept that Malone is not Caesar, nor Rid
dleberger Brutus.

BAT GUANo IN MONROE Co., W, Va
The Green6rier Independent of the Doth
inst, says that 'sMr. G. W. Hutcheson, of
Second Creek District, in Monroe county,
has made discovery on his farm near
Humphreys mill, which bids fair to be a
bona fde bonanza to him. It seems that
there is on his land cave the existence of
which has been known for years. but recent
scrutiny has developed the fact that it is
filled with a compound of bat dust, saltpe-
tire and other ingredients, which, as fer
tilizer, is superior to the celebrated Pacific
guano. Mr.. II. has had sample Of the
compound analysed, and the report is very
favorable, showing it to contain IA per
cent of ammonia, while the Pacific guano
only contains about Z. The per cent. of
the other ingredients is in like proportion
In fact, the analysis was so encouraging
that Mr. Hutcheson shipped carload OF
the fertilizer from Ronceverte last Saturday
to fertilizing company in Baltimore for
further investigation

he sank to the floor, and in five minutes

conglomeration in race, color, and previous
condition that we fought in 1859 and 1873

Revenue officers, the Postofice and Custom

and we see banded together the same color

injury of both races. We must meet al
these issues THIS fall. Let us do it as men. y

this WAY, FREEMEN.
THE CONVENTION DID ITS DUTY.
EVERY LOVER OFFREEDOMs SHOULD
NOW DO HIS.

The grand Democratic State Convention
which met in Lynchburg last Wednesday
did its duty nobly, and it now remains for
the liberty-loving masses of the people to
do theirs. The convention was composed
of the best men of the State, fairly repre-
senting its intelligence, character, and pa
triotism, and they did their work wisely
and in the best spirit, and now their constl-
tuents should, in similar spirit, resolve to
do all in their power to secure the success
of the Democratic party and the defeat OF
Malone, that their grand old mother, Vir-
ginia, may be redeemed, regenerated, and
disenthralled'' from the most vicious tyran-
ny and the most ubiquitous bondage that
ever afflicted a people nominally free. The
issue in this canvass is greater than that OF
the success of any party-it involves the
freedom of the people of all parties 1t will
determine whether the people themselves
are to rule, or to be ruled by single man
whether we shall have free government
by the people and for the poole, or whether
the people shall be the slaves and minions of
a petty, tyrannical, and INSCRIPTIONS boss.
There is not man in Virginia, of any po-
htical party, who should not aid to dethrone
the tyrant who tramples mercilessly upon
his liberties and would enslave him to graf
ify his own ambition or wreak his revenge
upon those who are too manly to become
the subservient slaves of his inscriptions
will Malone is not the friend of any par
ty, save for his own selfish purposes-he is
for Malone, and for Malone alone. The
issue for the voters to decide is, whether
they will be freemen or slaves. The cleo
ton next November is for the members of
the Legislature, and the best men should
be chosen, and they should be men who
would scorn to. acknowledge any man as
their master or to wear the collar of any self
assumed Boss.
This canvass should be one Of work on
the part of every man who appreciates free
dom. The masses should not rely upon
the leaders, and speakers, and editors for
success, but upon their own individual ac-
ton, each one becoming ''hero in the
strife, each doing al he can to arouse
the people of his neighborhood to the i'm
portance of the issue, and the absolute ne
cessity that he should go to the polls and cast
his vote as a freeman for freedom-for gov
ernment by the people and for the people,
and against the government of the people
by n boss.
Organize at once on the plan adopted by
the convention and go to work, each striv-
ing to do more than his neighbor in behalf
of the salvation of his State and the iber-
ties of the people. This canvass must be
a working canvass-it must be recognised
that success is necessary, and that it cannot
be attained in any other way. Work and
win.

year" He thinks the tendency of all indie
pendent and thoughtful voters, not in Cal

CAPT. WEBB DROWNED IN THE wHIRL-
POOL BELOW NIAeARA.-Capt. Webb, OF
England, the intrepid and celebrated swim
mer who rashly attempted on last Tuesday,
as before advertised, to swim through the
rapids and the whirlpool below Niagara, as
was expected generally, lost his life. He
entered the river about one-third of mile
above the Railroad bridge and about Il
miles above the whirlpool. In about 10
minutes from the time he jumped from the
boat into the river, he reached the whirl-
pool and ended his life.
Capt. Webb was about forty years of age,
and was born in Shropshire, England. He
leaves widow and two children in his ma
tive place. He had been sea-faring man
all his life. He was of medium size, finely
proportional, and very intelligent-looking.
The body of Captain Webb was found
floating in the river short distance below
Lewiston, N. Y, Saturday afternoon, and
a verdict of found drowned was rendered.
During the examination of the body rag
ged cut was discovered on the top of the
head about three inches in length, which
opened sufficiently to expose the skull. II
had the appearance of having been inflicted
by rock or other hard, rough substance,
and it is supposed to have been done at the
entrance to the whirlpool, where the rocks
in places project above the surface of the
water, and where the current is widest
This wound was considered sufficient in it
self to have caused death, and iii thought
that he sank Immediately after receiving it
The body was placed in coffin and re
moved to Suspension Bridge, N. Y, where
it will be prepared for shipment to Boston
Mass, where Mrs. Webb is residing.
