GEN. JUBAL EARLY ON MAHoNE's AD-
DRESS The following dispatch was receiv-
ed in Richmond, Tuesday night, from Gen.
Jubal A. Early, of Lynchburg: 'In reply to
your inquiry as to my opinion of Mahone's
address, can only say that the English
language is not sufficiently strong to proper
ly characterize the infamous nature of the
production and the infinite baseneSs of its
falsehoods. | must say, however, that it is
eminently worthy of Malone and the minions
who have assisted him i'll its composition.
A Great poet has intimated that in the low
est deep there is lower deep still. That
can no longer be said to be true. Malone
has sounded the depths finfamy and reach
ed a solid bottom, below which it is impos-
sible even for him to penetrate.'
This dispatch was sent by Gen. Early to
a newspaper correspondent who wished to
have his views on the infamous address,
and was wired from Richmond to several
Republican papers, among them the Balti-
more American. The dispatch to that pa
per concludes as follows:
''The fact has leaked out beyond dispute
that G. G. Gorham himself wrote the ad-
dress while closeted with Malone. 1t still
causes the utmost indignation in all sections
Of the State, and Malone has to. day been
denounced with numerous epithets, such as
liar,' coward cur whining hypocrite'
and grave yard wilmer. 1t is understood
that some of his supporters, who have gone
with him thus far, refuse to join him in his
counting out scheme, and they have been
denounced by Malone as chicken-hearted.

MALONE ARRAIGNs AN ENTIRE PARTY
AS MURDERERs FOR PARTY PURPosEs.-In
his address to Enthusiastically, how
ever, addressed to the bloody-shirt wavers OF
the North-Mahone,..i in the language of the
Phil North american, "arraigns an entire
party as the party of murder and massacre"
a party that is constituted of four-ffths
of the white people CT Virginia and says
that "where they 1.-THE negroes] act on their
rights voluntarily accorded them, they are
shot down like dogs for party purposes. by
the benefciaries of their toll for centuries. .
This outrageous lie and SANDER he menda-
ciously utters for the triple purpose of de-
flaming the majority of the white people,
arraying tide negroes in hostility against
them, and in causing the North to flaunt
again the bloody shirt, hoping thereby to
solidlfy the North sufficiently to elect a Re-
publican President. He has committed a
crime that exceeds in enormity any record
ed in the Newgate Calendar. He is the
Boss slanderer and criminal of the world.
Instigated, seemingly, by his prototype, the
arch-enemy of mankind. he is guilty OF an
offense that the notorious "Bender family
or the James brothers, would blush to
perpetrate Satan can take his repose and
enjoy his otitm cam dignitate whilst Ma
hone, as '1abor Of love- attends to his
affairs on earth.

MADISON COUNTY.
In another part of this address is this
language
''Murders in cold blood began in Madison
county,"
This is intended to make the impression
that in the murder committed in Madison
county, some days before the election, re-
adjuster or coalitionist was killed on &C
count of his politics. So far is this from
being true, that the murder referred to, had
no reference whatever to politics, and both
of the men engaged were Democrats.
We have not heard from the other coun-
ties named-Charles City, Floyd, and Lee
but have no doubt that the charges
against them are equally as groundless and
| libelous.
Malone, as United States Senator, and
as the recognized leader and representative
Of one of the political parties of this State
is doubly under obligations to protect the
interests and to defend the character oil
Virginia; and yet he is the man who, more
than any other, is warning upon her inter
ests and defaming, vilely and maliciously,
her character He is worse enemy tt
Virginia than Cataline was to Rome. His
name has won an Immortality of infamy
and will exist forever, eternally embalmec
| in popular execration.

From South Carolina come stories almost
the equals of those now told of affairs in
Virginia. 1t seems there are men in that
State, too, who have so little regard for the
mother who bore them that they gather
and magnify and distort for publication
elsewhere the stories current among worth
less and prof1igate and designing men who
infest society elsewhere.
The South Carolina story is in substance
that the white men, women and children OF
the State are bound together in an attempt
to shield from conviction men charged in
the Uuited States courts with political IF
fences. Believing that human nature is
not wholly depraved, and that the white
people of South Carolina are in all respects
| as virtuouo tlIUso Of any other portion
of the world, we are obliged to say we dc
not think there is a word of truth in the
story.
There is hardly the color of truthfulness
in the charges Senator Malone has made
against the people of Virginia in his adj
dress. In fact the stories he tells are such
as could not be true in any civilized society.
The Senator has gone into the region where
his most numerous supporters excel-that
of imagination-and constructed his state
ment there. It is not so much that he seeks
to excite the animosity of black men against
white; that has been the tendency of his
teaching, though perhaps not his purpose,
for years. The offence in his case, as in
that of the authors of the South Carolina
stories, is that after manufacturing case
he takes it to court, not only unauthor-
lied to act upon it, but already pledged to
act unfairly, and which he knows and has
always charged will act unfairly.
The best, the only true course, is to al
low each State to remedy evils arising
therein, so long as they remain merely 10

DISCUSSED WITH MAHoNE.-Now that
Malone has proven himself to be worse
than even his worst enemy ever charged or
conceived, thousands of his followers here
tofore will now desert him in disgust, and
reproach themselves that they ever allowed
themselves to be so deceived and imposed
upon. The Lynchburg Virginian says
that zone of the hitherto most devoted Ma
hone men in that city-a man who has sac
rifed much to uphold that rotten cause
now says his chief has gone too far, in is
suing such an address as that to which his
name was last signed. He declares that he
can neither endorse nor approve it. And
so it will be all over Virginia, for thousands
of Mahone's late friends will be compelled,
by the pressure of public opinion, and THEN
own innate sense of right, to cut loose
from the loathsome demagogue and viliier
of Virginia. Malone has made many blum
ders: but the last fatal Star, +aLnu -,
ment Of unbridled wrath, and while suffer
ing from wounded vanity, will prove to
have been the worst and most fatal of ALL -

RESIGNATION OR EXPULSION OF MALONE
We have stated in another article that the
Legislature should ask Malone 10 resign
the trust he has so outrageously betrayed,
and we feel assured that this is the general
opinion. The Lynchburg Adrance maintains
that he should be expelled from the U. 8.
Senate. That paper says
The first act of the Legislature should be a
resolution setting forth his misdeeds, and
declaring that he had forfeited the respect
and confidence of the State and people and
demanding his resignation, and this shonld
be followed by the appointment of an able
and influential committee of both branches
of the Legislature, who shonld prepare
charges showing his unfitness and unwor-
thiness as representative of Virginia, and
they should make their way to the Senate
of the United States that Virginia might
be heard against her unworthy son, and be
permitted to ask his expulsion.
A SENATOR who libels and ISLANDERS his
State, her Legislature and her people, is
unworthy to occupy a seat in the greatest
representative body of the world. Either
Virginia is unfit to be represented in the
Congress or Malone should be expelled
from the Senate.

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-The first session
of the Forty-eighth Congress of the United
States will begin on next Monday, the third
day of December. The Senate will consist
Of thirty-eight Republicans, two indepen-
dents, voting usually with the Republicans,
and thirty-six Democrats. In the House OF
Representatives the Democrats will have a
clear majority of about sixty over all. With
the Senate Republican and the House strong
ly Democratic, each chamber of Congress
will act as check on the legislation of the
other. Unity of action on points on which
the representatives Of the two political par
ties disagree is therefore not to be expect
ed, except in cases that do not touch party
doctrines or where compromises may be
agreed upon.

There was a gathering of negroes at on

There was gathering of negroes at one
of their halls on the outskirts of the city,
last night, at which language of the most
incendiary character was INDUCED in, the
white people, as usual, denounced, and the
luminosity of the blacks attempted still fur
Their to be aroused, by batch of negro
speakers imported for the purpose, whose
counse and advice, if followed, would only
recoil upon IL e heads of their ignorant
dupes. Malone, the smallest tyrant that
ever domineered over a deluded race, was
extalled to the skies and the "eolor line''
distinctly drawn, while ''war to the death
was the rallymg cry. 1t is such harangues
as the speakers at this meeting INDUCED in
that bring about ''bitter strife, )" ever event

THE VOTE IN THIS STATE.-The official
and unofficial returns from the recent cleo
ton in this State show that the Democrats
polled IA, 1856 votes and the Coalitionists
1875, 951, giving the Democratic legislative
ticket an aggregate majority of 1894,
against 5,o57 majority for Wise, Coalition
list, for Congressman at large last year,
when the vote was 1899 for Wise and
96,395 for Massey, Democrat. Despite
Gen. Mahene's charge of intimidation, it
will be seen that the Coalition vote this
year exceeds by 20, 759 that cast for Con-
gresham last year. The increase in the
Democratic vote over that of last year is
40, 400. The Coalition vote is also greater
by ID, 900 than that cast for Cameron for
Governor. These figures show conclusively
that the Coalition defeat was not due to in
timidation, but to the largely increased
vote, of which the Democrats got much
the largest per cent. 1t is estimated that
over one hundred thousand colored men
voted, of whom at least 81 per cent. voted
the Coalition ticket. The largest vote ever
cast in this State at any previous election
was in 1876, when Tilden received 1850
votes and Hayes 95, 558-in all 235, 22S, as
against 271, 1886 this year. In other words,
there were 36,60S more votes cast in this
Stat eat the late election than ever before.

ACCIDENT TO WELL-KNowN CITIZEN.

Chung, who lives near Lewisburg, while on
his way home last Tuesday, met with
painful accident, by which his arm was
broken just above the wrist and number
OF bruises were inflicted upon his person
1t seems that when in the road nearly op-
posite the residence of Mr.. John ]. Echols,
the mare which he was driving, from some
unaccountable cause, became unmanagable
and commenced kicking. and in the excite

thrown with violence to the ground, break
ing his arm and bruising him as before stat

aging the buggy to which she was attached.

As the Winchester Meas says, "Mahone
knows as well as his followers, or as well as
the Democrats Of the State that the cleo
ton held here on the 9th of November was
as fair and free as any election ever held in
Virginia. The very vote proves this. And
still to cover the magnitude of his defeat
he does not hesitate to charge intimidation
and murder upon the democrats of Virginia
But his manifesto will have no other effect
in Virginia at least than to further elimi-
nate from his faction the few democrats who
still remain with him. He has been un-
earthed and compelled to avow himself a
stalwart radical. He cannot deceive any
democrat now by saying he is democrat
a better one than Ben Hill. AS Early says
of the Boss, she has found rock-bottom at
last" Even he cannot find a deeper infa-
my. His utilization of his native State
has placed brand upon him that will
make his name by word and reproach
among her sons and stencil in the nostrils
of her people. Let us dismiss him and turn

AS the Petersburg Inder-Appeal says,
the impartial and honest people OF the
North must regard with derision, if not
with contempt, Gen. Mahone's plea of the
baby act to excite Republican sympathy
and to invoke Federal protection, when
they are told that in Danville, in Madison
comfy, and in other places where political
outrages and murders are alleged to have
been committed, the whole machinery of
the law is in the hands of Readjusters.
Over the fourth circuit, which embraces
Danville, Henry M. Ford presides as judge,
a man noted for his intense partizanship as
a Readjuster before his elevation to the
bench. In the sixth circuit, which en-
braces Madison county, George P. Hughes,
a staunch Readjuster, is the judge. The
same is true of the county and corporation
courts. Not only these, but even the Su-
preme Court of Appeals is composed of the
personal and political friends of Gen. Ma
hone, afording him every means within the
process of the law for the execution of JUS
tice and the punishment of criminals. AS
good citizen, as true Virginian, jealous
of the rights and safety of his fellow-cit
zens, and intent upon the suppression Of
violence and mobocracy, it is his duty to in
woke the aid of the regularly constituted
courts of his State. With tie executive
and judicial power of the State at his back,
it is absurd for him TO pretend that he can
not secure fair hearing and ample justice
If he knows the charges he has made te
the world to be true, he should demand an
investigation of them before the courts
They are of too grave character not te
be investigated. He should be forced to &c
before the courts and establish the truth O.
what he charges, or be made to confess that
he has outrageously slandered and vilifec
the people of his State for base partisan
purposes. This is the MISUNDERSTANDING
and unavoidable Gen. Malone mus
make his choice or forfeit the credence ano
confidence of every honest and impartia
man in the country, irrespective of party

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT AT WASH
INaToS.-The Washington correspondent
of the Alexandria Gazette, under date of
the 10Th inst, says:
THE Malone address is denounced alike
by men of all parties here who know any
thing about the condition of political af-
fairs in Virginia. Almost every one who
talks about it says the mere fact that man
who ISLANDERS and abuses Virginia as Ma
hone does, and who has injured her as ma
teIially as he has, is permitted to live I'M
molested within her borders is a sufficient
refutation of all the mendacity of his So
called address. Those who don't live in
Virginia say her people must be the most
patient Of any in the Union to allow man
who attempts to injure them as he does a
residence in their midst. Mr.. Dezendorf
says Mahone's charges are utterly devoid
OF particle of truth, and that every man
who has any material interest in the State
has personal grievance against Malone
for his attempt to damage that interest"

WILL THEY FoLLow?-With cheek as
hard as adamant, Malone now issues his
orders to the Democratic Readjusters to
follow him into the Republican party to sup
port that party in the Presidential election
next Fall. Will they servilely obey and thus
prove themselves as treacherous as Malone
himself? We t1ow not. Glendower m y call
spirits from the vastly deep, but will they
come? "Nary time.''
Are there any Democratic Readjusters
now, since Malone has committed, by his
recent address, the crownirg ofense of this
age, who will servilely say, with John s.
Wise
master, lead on, will follow:thee,
To the gasp OF expiring loyalty"
We venture to say that the Democratic
ReadjusteIs will not now acknowleds e Ma
hone as their "master," and that his lash
has no terrors for them. They agreed with
what he profesSei to believe on the debt
question-it is doubtful whetherhe believed
as he professed- they do not endorse his
vile SANDER upon Virginia. and his purpose
to 60 into the Republican party. No. They
will follow him no longer. They will now,
that his treachery and infamous character
are unveiled, denounce and spit upon him.
To suppose otherwise, would be to do them
great injustice.

MAHoNE's INFAMOUS ADDRESS. We ere
not Mahone's libelous address so long, we
would publish it that our readers might see
what an Infamous rascal he is. He insults
the ReadJusters by presenting it as repre-
senting them by signing it officially as the
Chairman of the State Committee of their
party. lie would thus make them respon-
sible for its infamo us libels upon the State
GINA should ask him to resign the position
of Senator of the U. S. to which that body
elected him, and which he disgraces to a
degree that should bring the blush of shame
to the cheek of every Virginian. Ifhe were
not traitor of the deepest dye, he would
voluntarily resign the trust he has so treach-
erously betrayed. The guilt of Guiteau is
sanity virtue as compared with that of Ma
homes. He has acquired an Immortality Of
infamy that should crafty the inordinate
cravings of his wicked ambition. The lu-
rid light reflected from the act of Erostra-
tus in destroying the Ephesian temple
''pales its Intellectual fires" beside the Ha-
dean glow that bathes the worse than mat
ricidal act of Mohone; for the vile slanderer
of the character of his mother is worse than
a matricide.
He has, as stated, won an Immortality of
infany, for his name will never die as long
man exists with sufficient virtue 10 detest
the traitor and vile traducer of the charac-
ter Of the mother that gave him birth. His
name will go sounding down the corridors

In special telegram to the Nutional Re
publican, giving the proceedings of the
meeting of colored men held ia Staunton
November 10Th, we find the following:
THAT We appoint committee of five judi
cious men, to confer with similar commit
tees in other parts of the State, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the FEAST
bility Of emigrating from this State to other
sections of the country" Now this reso-
luton is intended for political effect, to
produce the impression that the negro has
been oppressed and deprived of rights. We
think that it will be to the interest of both
races for these men to go, and the sooner
the better. The meeting at Staunton was
addressed by several colored preachers. No
doubt SEINE of them were prominent Ma
hone workers in the campaign, using the
livery of Heaven to serve the devil-using
the power of their position to aid a corrupt
political trickster. A nice combination

the shooting, had proclaimed himself OPEN
