As GENERAL MALONE voted against the
bill to repeal the statute prohibiting ex-
Confederates from holding commissions in
the army and navy, he will of course object
to the bill now before the State Legislature
to provide a home for old and INDECENT ex-
Confederates and az his followers in the
Legislature have to do as he says or be de-
MED the benefits of his countenance, they
will have to oppose it. But as the demo-
Gratis have now two-thirds' majority 10 both
houses, and can therefore pass the bill over
the veto of the Generals Governor, they
should lose no time in giving themselves an
opportunity to exercise that power should it
be necessary. The old soldiers of the fed
eral army have pensions and beautiful and
luxurious homes provided for them. They
were no more convinced that the North was
right than their opponents were that the
South was, and surely it is as little as Vir-
ginia can do, especially as she has repudi-
ated large share of her debt, to expend
few thousand dollars year in providing
cheap home for such of her old citizens who
fought for her during the war as are unable
TO provide one for themselves.

THERE IS so much work for the Legisla-
ture to do, and it has been 80 INSTRUCTED by
the Governors vetoes, that the session will
doubtless have to be extended for thirty
days, for which, fortunately, there will be
no extra pay. But before it adjourns it
should, and it should not adjourn until it
does do it, so change the law with regard 10
the appointment of election judges that
there shall not be at the next, as there have
been under the Malone sway, two Malone
Judges and one democratic judge at every
polling precinct. This outrage was perpe-
trated upon the audacious assumption that of
the three judges one wasa republican, one
Mahonete and one democrat, when every
body knew that the Mahoneite was repub.
licsn and the republican Mahoneite. It
should also adopt some measure by which
the registration books shall be taken out of
the improper hands to which most of them
have been entrusted. With fair registra-
ton and just election judges, Mahoneism,
which is already dead, will be buried so
completely at the next election that it will
never be heard Of again.

Tuesday EVENING, JANUARY %, 1884.
THE ASSIGNED object of General Mahone's

THE ASSIGNED object of General Mahones
speech in support of Senator Sherman
bloody. resolution is to prove that the
State government of Virginia does not pro-
,ect the lives and liberty of the citizens OF
that State, and that therefore the general
government should step 10 and execute that
duty for her. In other,words, that IS the
magistrates, Commonwealth's attorney
mayor, grand jury and judge OF Dan
Vile have not prosecuted the parties
engaged 10 the riot at that place,
that duty should be performed by United
States officers. 1t is a well known fact That
the grand jury of Darville, on which were
several readiusters and one negro, did have
the case before them, did invite every BODY
who knew anything about the affair to tes-
tify, did examine everybody who appeared,
and, after patient and careful investiga-
ton, could not obtain evidence enough TO
warrant an indictment; and that so impor-
taut did they deem the case that they pup
lshed the result of their proceedings But
suppose this is not go, and that there was
no effort made to discover and punish the
guilty parties. Whose faultwas it? Danvllle
was in the hands of the Mahoneites. 1t mad
a Malone Judge, Malone mayor, Com
monwealth's attorney who was elected by
the Mahonetes, and Malone magistrates,
constables and policemen, some OF Whom
were negroes. The whole machinery for
bringing criminals to justice was under the
control Of the Mahoueites. No body else
had ANYTHING to do with It, and interference
on the part Of anybody else would have
been improper. The duty lay solely with
them, and they should have performed it, Or,
making the attempt and failing, been able
to show to the country that their failure
was due to insurmountable physical resist
auce. They know whether or not they
tried to bring the guilty parties to justice.
The world knows they have not shown their
failure, To be due to resistance. All this IS
a. we'll known to the General as to other
prople. He should therefore blame his fol-
lowers at Dauvile for aereiction of duty,
rather than the dcmocracts Of the place Tor
resistance to the laws He should also as
sign a less ridiculous reason for his speech
than the one alluded to--a desire to prove
that the State does not protect the lives and
liberty Of her citizens. 1t is true she had
some difficulty in doing so under his sway,
but happily that is now thing of the past.
Mahones wings have been clipped, and he
should have sense enough to know that at
tempts at flights in that condition are ludl-
crouS failures.

NEW YORK City is disturbed about the
failure of the supply of cooks. Those who
are rich can always be provided, but people
of moderate means are daily exercised over
their empty kitchens. 1t may be that we
are reaching the period when those who
stay at home will be ready to prepare the
bread which their husbands have toiled to
win during the day; when the labor OF the
household will be SO subdvided, that every
member of the family will take daily his
share of the labor to be done; and when
families will become independent of incom-
petent servants by doing their own work.
At any rate, here is another way opened by
means of which women can make living.
There is a demand every where for skiltul
cooks. Skill will not only command good
pay, but compel respect. We are on the
eve of revolution in domestic life.

THE PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
The preamble and resolutions adopted by
by the Legislature, requesting Gen. Malone
to resign his seat in the United States Sen
ate, introduced by Mr.. Newberry, are asIfol-
lows
Whereas, 1t is selfevidently improper
for any man to hold the honorable aud re-
sponsible position of United States Senator
who from either incapacity or indispositon,
cannot, or will not, honestly and faithfully
represent the State from which he holds his
commission; and whereas General William
Malone was elected by the Legislature of
Virginia TO represent in part said State in
the Senate Of the United States; and where
ms he, instead of attending to the duties of
his Senatorial office, absented himself from
his post Of duty for about five months while
the Senate of which he was a member
was in session, and spent that time in Rich
mond for the purpose of debating to an d
controlling the legislation of Virginia, and
Of so controlling it as to advance his own
personal and selfish ends at the sacrifice of
the honor and best interests Of his said
State; and whereas the said General Will

to deliver the State into the hands of that
party; and whereas the people of Virginia,
at their late election, expressed, through
the largest vote they ever polled, their dis.
approval and condemnation of the course
and conduct of their said Senator; and
whereas he, since said election, instead of
defending the honor and seeking to promote
the interests of Virginia, and to maintain
harmonious and fraterual relations among
her citizens, has been actively and persist
emily striving to arouse the prejudices of
our fellow-countrymen of other States
against our good and peaceable citizens-to
array class against class and race against
race, and to inHame the passions and preju-
dices of the one against the other By the
most palpable Misrepresentation and un-
paralleled vituperation; therefore
'ResolUed 1.-THE House of Delegates con-
curring), That General William Malone be,
and is hereby, respectfully but earnestly re-
quested to resign his office Of United States
Senator.
"2. That this preamble and resolutions be

JUDGING FROM the newspaper accounts
of the terrible crimes perpetrated by brutal
negroes in Washington and the Northern
States, it is supposed that the people of the
North are finding out how it is themselves.
These crimes are increasing in equal ratio
with the increased negro population of the
North, and they have been no inconsiderable
factor in correcting the erroneous opinion
of that section respecting the imaginary
cruelty of their fellow citizens of the South.

THE PHILADELPHIA Record abiding to
the resolutions of the Virginia Legislature
requesting General Malone to resign his
seat in the U. S. Senate, says:
Senators of the United States are chosen
by the State Legislatures, and for this rea-
son are supposed to be amenable to legis-
lative instructions and discipline. The CEN
sure of State, as expressed by its Legisla-
ture, has been deemed proper reason tor
resignation by highminded Senators who
have been so unfortunate as to incur such
mark of dstrust and displeasure. The State
Of Virginia has seldom been represented in
the Senate by gentlemen who would not re-
sign their places at the call of the Legisla-
ture. What Senator Malone will think ut
to do under the circumstances remains to
be seen IF he resigns, however, it will be
an exhibition of manliness that we have no
reason to expect"
The Record seems to understand the Gen
eral as we'll as the people of whom he was
once one.

PARTISAN PREJUDICE leads people into
the most transparent mistakes aud the most
reckless assertions. The Baltimore Ameri-
can, for instance, says 'the twenty five thous-
and men who voted for Mr.. Heiskell at the
late mayoralty election in that city did so
because they believed that as fire marshal
he had been faithful to bis duty" Now
every body else knows that the sole and
only reason why twenty five Thousand voters
of Baltimore cast their ballots for Mr.. Heis-
kell was that they might defeat the regular
democratic nominee, Mr.. Latrobe, and that
the same reason would have induced them
to vote for Mr. Heiskell if he had never
seen fire. and would have induced them
to vote against him had he, instead of his
opponent, been the democratic candidate.

He knows nothing even about the history

Watkins Leigh, who was asked by the
Virginia Legislature to resign his seat
in the L. S. Senate, never paid any at
attention to that request Everybody except
General Malone knows that Mr.. Leigh did
resign. But he was made of different stuff
from that of which General Malone is. His
self respect, and his regard for the respect OF
others, would not allow him to retain seat
in the national Capitol as Senator from a
State the opinions of majority of whose
people ne did not represent.

An Editor Brutality Assaulted at Wa.
bash, Ind.

WABASH, IND, August 6.-An outrage
which will disgrace this entire section of
the State was perpetrated here on Mon
day evening, The Courier, edited by Lee
Linn, writer of considerable ability,
changed its politics about six months ago.
1t had been Democratic paper, but, for
reasons which its editor gave fully it be-
came Republican, and very strongly so.
This town is Democratic, and the Demo-
Gratis living here and in this vicinity arc
of the most intense Bourbon stripe. Sew
eral threats have been made against Linn
because of his onslaughtS on the Demo-
cratic party.
On Monday evening Linn was walk
ing on the street when he met farmer
named Stone, to whom he spoke pleas
antly, Stone is bitter partisan, and
without the slightest warning he
gave Linn severe blow on the face
with a heavy stick. Linn then knocked
Stone down. Two sons Of the latter
then rushed on Linn, threw him down
and kicked him in the face and body.
Other Democrats coming up joined in
the assault, and Linn was finally res
cued more dead than alive. There is
considerable excitement in the town.
Stone, ST., is in Jail.
