to law. General Malone, having been utter
" routed and beaten, makes his home Or
gan call upon the republican administration
at Washington to subvert the State govern
ment, and restore the deposed boss to his
late supremacy In case this be not done,
the organ says, I'VE (the Mahoneites) shall
have to ily TO arms" Mr.. Goode must have
bapr RIGHT when he said Malone is a tiend-
ish lunutic The national administration
called upon by Virginia Senator to inter
fere with the government OF his own state,
with the threat Of an appeal to arms If the
call be not responded to tavorably! The
appral 10 arms referred to means the rising
orau The negroes in the State and about
one hundred! white scalawags against the
white people of Virginia. The fall of such
a rise, ii is needless to say, would be speedy
and disastrous TO all who might take part
in it. The friends Of the ex-bcss should look
after him, for, being unable to hurt any
body else, he will soon be committing 'hari

The EX BOSS, who says his mission IS TO
wipe out sectional aniInosity and put Nir-
uiuia in accord" with the North, makes his
Washington organ say The objects for
which the North fought in the civil war
have not been achieved, and the nation is
the football of its implacable enemies in the
South" He makes his home organ say :
"All free government is overturned in Fir-
gina. There is no liberty here. No man
has any rights which the bourbon funders
respect Life has 10 protection; and MUIR
der has full impunity.' Now the man who
makes his two organs utter such statements
rs these is L. 5. Senator, and halls from the
South and from Virginia. Why, he is a dis
grace to humanity, and should not only be
asked to resign, but should be drummed out
of the State if he ever puts bis foot on her
soil again Compared with him the most
malicious and self interested maligner of the
South during carpet-bag time was an angel
Of peace and good will.

Mr.. BOND, of Boston, the leading author
ity on wool in this country, says the high
duty on wool dcprcsses the trade in that
article. The failures, the suspensions, the
strikes and the reductions in the wages OF
the laborers employed in the manufacture
of glass, iron and cotton, show that protec-
ton is not advantageous to those industries.
But yet the protectionists say there must be
no reduction in hetariff.

GEN. MALONE is one of the bondsmen Of

As he has made an immense fortune from

bond, and those whose duty it is to attend
to such matters will be held to a strict ac-
countability if they prove derelict in their
