AN AUTHORITATIVE EXPRESSION OF MIA
HOMES PURPosE.-In commenting approx
ingly on Mahone's UNANIMOUSLY ibellous ad-
dress, his Washington Organ, the Washing
ton Republican, in quoting it, says =
He says he believes that ''the Readjuster
party will, t0hen 1t nert meets in council,
unite cordially and thoroughly with our
friends, State and National, and make COM
mon cause soHh them against the ESurbons,
their aiders, counselors, and abettors, State
and National, by whatever name tEoy be
designated"
The Republican, in reference to the above,
says truly
"There is 20 reservation or evasion in the
words of Gen. Malone. He unequivocally
places himself shoulder to shoulder with the
foremost Republicans in the land in the
contest of 1884, and assures US that he be-
lieUes he speaks the sentiments of the Re-
adjuster party"
Now, the blindest can see where Malone
stands. Is there any Readjuster so base as
longer to follow this treacherous rascal, this
hypocritical political Pecksniff, this malici-
Gus slanderer, and malignant libeller, and
most criminal enemy of Virginia-this base
migrate, and matricidal son who would
plunge the knife to the hilt into the heart
of the mother that bore and reared him, and
unwisely honored him beyond his deserts
The man who will now, after his last infa-
nous address, march under the standard OF
Malone, should be a,idthema maranatha.-
Unless fool or lunatic, he should be
recognized as an enemy, and treated as
such. Mahone's address to the Readjusters
should be considered by them a gross in.
suit.

The fact that General Malone still lives

The Washington Post thinks ''the out
rage mill is hard up for grists and the whole
country is laughing at its ridiculous clam
Or" We remember what effect the ''clam-
orr has had in previous campaigns, when
the grists were as few, and we cannot take
quite the cheerful view the Post does of the
subject. Virginia, says the Petersburg In
der-Appeal, has entered upon an era OF
prosperity, but has not advanced so far that
the threat of "bloody shirt campaign in
the north, with violence here, may not in
jure her greatly, even if there be no direct
interference with her affairs by the adj
ministration. The COURAGE mill' is a
material injury to Virginia, whatever its
effect may be upon the northern vote. 1t
is for this reason that persons in this state,
whether democrats, coalitionsts or indie
pendents, who do anything to add to exist
ing excitement here, OR give aid to unscru-
pulous northern politicians in their cam
paign of SANDER, deserve the severest con-
domination: They give up to the gratifica-

Malone Wants Federal Troops to Invade
Virginia.


Malone wants to have troops sent to Vir-
ginia to overawe the people. The Wash
ington Republican, the organ of Malone,
edited by the man who, it is supposed, wrote
Mahone's infamous address for him, says
that Virginia is in a state of instruction,
and that the State Government is power
less to control it, and that it would require
the Federal Government, through the agen-
cy of Federal troops, to do it, and that Ar
thur is ready to send them as soon as Cam
eron may call for them. In proof of the
above, we make the two following extracts
from that paper
"The State of Virginia is bound hand and
foot by a mob, and the enforcement OF her
laws is INSTRUCTED by combinations too pow
erful to be overcome by the ordinary pro-
cesses. This is Instruction. II the Gov
ernor of Virginia we're to so declare, does
any same man believe it would be possible
for him to maintain the State authority a.
gainst that of the mob?"
eff force becomes necessary-and it
should be last resort, to be used only
when to spare it would be to cruelty the
rlgnCS gudTduG00u ny UoLu DIdeo ouu va
tional Constitutions-iffor we say, should
become necessary, the people of the nation
would expect to see their President, sworn
as he is to preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States, respond
with all necessary power to the call of the
Governor of Virginia. And they would not
be disappointed.
These extracts, let it be remembered, are
from the paper that has been endorsed by
Malone and Riddleberger and recommend
ed to the members of their party for sup
port. If this State shall escape strife, con-
flict, and bloodshed, it will not be because
Malone does not desire it, and is not doing
what tends to produce that dire result.
1t is fortunate for the peace of the State
that he was defeated by such decided ma
jority. If the majority in the Legislature
had been much less, he would have attempt
ed game of cheating that would not have
have been submitted to by the majority par
ty. As it is, his game is lost, for his at
tempts to get a majority by the iascally
mode he would adopt, would prove futile,
and that is why the "heathen RACES to

The Fortune Which lae Is Digging Ont

March. saw his superintendent to-day, and
he told me something of mining in this district.
owe had hard trip over the mountains this
time, he said. 1t usually takes us nine days
to come from the mines with a load of silver.
but this trip it took eleven. 1t is about go
miles to where the governor Is working and It
Is over the mountain all the way, and right in
the heart of them. There is nothing but silver
and mountains. We bring the silver on pack
mules lS3 miles over mountain path to road
and then load 1t on wagons and haul it to Chi
huahua. We expect to make one and sometimes
two trips month. Suppose we bring over
$SO,OOO each month, or nearly 81 600 600 in o
year. You can imagine how rich the mines are
when tell you that this is but fraction of
what they yield, and yet many of the mines that
the governor Is managing are scarcely devel-
oped: The machinery for properly working them
Is not even In place yet, but will be sOOn.'
''How are the Governor and his family2"
HE Is very well, but his family have returned
to civilization, and he expects to be in New
York In about two months. He Is getting the
mines In splendid condition. He has worked
very hard. but will soon have his property In
such condition that 1t will not require 80
much OF his attention: Then he expects to en-
joy the fruits OF his labor and seclusion. He is
indulgng his old propensity for building and
making things handsome about the mines, and,
when he gets through, will have not only the
richest, but also the most complete mining vii

Decoration Day Incongruities.
rom the New York Times


1t would be possible to preserve little more
congruity In some Of the observances of Decora-
tion day. There is great confusion, for ex-
ample, in the matter of hosting flags on that
day. Competent authorities say that the
American ensign should be alf-masted only on
receipt of the news of the death or on the day Of
the burial Of those to whose memory this
tribute is due. But, on the other hand, say
other competent authorities, the display of a
multitude of flags at masthead denotes a gala
day, a day of rejoicing. Orders issued Dy the
War department in due season before Decora-
ton day, although addressed only to the mill
tary branch of the government, would lay down
a rule that would undoubtedly be universally
followed. Yesterday one-half of the city
mOurned at half-mast and the other half flung
all it's bunting to the breeze. 1t may seem
hypercritical to disapprove the decoration of
bronze effigies of eminent men with garlands
But it is impossible to repress a smile at the
sight Of a statue bediZened with flowers and
wearing on it's head a parti-colored wreath.
Good taste would conffne floral tributes to the
architectural features of a monument. To at
tempt any extraneous decoration of the bronze
or marble semblance of the human form divine
even with most reverent hands, is extra-hazar-
dOus and should be avoided.
