Mr.. John S. Wise delivered. in this city,
last Saturday night, the most vicious and
incendiary harangue we ever heard. Not
content with his .so-called arraignment of
The Democratic party in Virginia, he de-
scended to the lowest depth of vulgarity
and profanity to illustrate his subject. So
occupied was he in the congenial task of
viiifying and abusing what he denominated
the ''best people of Virginia." that he
found no time to pay eulogy to the polit-
ical party of which he is so recent an ac-
QUESTION. His so-called arraignment of
Virginia was, in effect, an arraignment
of the entire South, and excelled that Bit
ter and malicious South-hater, Sherman,
of Ohio, in his senseless abuse of all who
did not agree with him in what he now pro-
fesses to be his political views
However much any one who heard him
might be opposed to Democracy, it is
scarcely to be conceived that they could
accept so vindictive, brutal and vulgar a
leader as their representative and exponent.
If there be anything of malice, of intoler-
ance or violence in Virginia politics, it is
caused, it is bred, fostered and nurtured by
just such incendiary harangues as fell
from the lips of the Republican candidate
fer Governor of Virginia.
The simple fact that Mr.. Wise has been
permitted to deliver this speech throughout
large section of Virginia, peopled by men
born upon her soil, without molestation,
is of itselfa complete refut alton of all that
he charged against one of the most law
abiding, peaceful and loyal people of this
Union This fact he well knows, else he
would not dare thus to defame Them
Roanoke Leader.

The C0l0red People.

There can be no doubt of the fact that the
colored people of Virginia are fast becom-
ing digusted with the Malone management
of the machine, and in many parts of the
State are rapidly sloughing off from the
Wise ticket. We can cite number of in
stances under our immediate observation.
The Alexandria Gazette announces that
the following colored men indorse Major s
P. Bayly's course and will support him in
his efforts to defeat Malone John s. Mont
gomery, John Scales, Henry Wilson, Sam'l
Keath and Charles G. Jackson. These
men have heretofore supported Malone,
and always taken leading part in politics
in their respective wards, but they now say
that their influence to man will be given
to the one great cause-that of defeating
Mahone-without regard to the conse-
quences.
The Petersburg Inder- appeal informs us
that at a meeting of the independent 1epub-
lican club of that city, held last Saturday
night, number of names were added to
the previous list, and that the meeting also
endorsed the democratic candidate for the
Senate, Mr.. R. M. Dobie, pledging him
their "hearty support in preference to any
so-called republican"
And a well-known gentleman from Green's
vile county gives the Richmond cores
pendent of the Norfolk Ledger the follow
ing cheering signs from that section of the
"black district"
SHE says that there is stampede of the
colored voters from the republican ranks,
and no doubt is felt that for the first time
in many years, the county will go demo-
cratic at the November election. In one
district alone, he says, over one hundred
negroes will vote the democratic ticket. In
another, democratic barbecue was given
a few days ago, at which many negroes
were present. Among the speakers were
several colored men who had been active
and jealous republican leaders. They urg-
ed their colored brethren to leave the Ma
hone party and vote with the democrats.
who, they declared, are the negro's best
friends. News from the other counties is
also to the effect that there is decided
break among the negroes towards the demo-
cratic party, and this has been helped by
the unpopular nominations made for the
Legislature by the republicans, and the
good men put up by the democrats.
This is about the spirit Of the colored
people all over the State, and we confident
ly believe that more than one-third of them
will abandon the Wise ticket before the
lection.-Lynchbatrg Advance.

MahOneism Reviewed.

DIssEcTING THE CORPSE BEFORE coNs1GN-
ING IT TO OBLIVION.
The organization known as Mahoneism-
composed Of barely enough whites to officer
| the blacks-has been found guilty of the
three following
MASTER PIECES OF RAsCALITY.
Attempting to take the business of the
people out of their hands by creating more
than one hundred new officers, to be called
commissioners of sales, and at the same
time refusing to allow the people to elect
| them.
Making the asylums for the insane, deaf,
dumb and blind, the State University, the
Military Institute, the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, and the entire free
school system, parts of vast machine of
partisan power and plnnder.
Claiming the cOnsciences of legislators by
exacting written obligations from them in
advance to support all measures of their
corrupt ring.
THREE BOGUS CLAIMS.
Credit of reducing the tobacco tax. The
record shows that not half-dozen Repub-
licans in the United States Senate voted for
the reduction.
Mahone's clock work Republicans claim
credit for the anti Chinese bill Every vote
against the measure but one was a Repub-
lican. The New England Senators voted as
a unit against the bill
Claiming that the Chinese must 20. On
motion of Senator Hoar, to admit skilled
Chinese labor to the United States and ex-
cept that clause from the provisions of the
anti Chinese bill, eighteen Republicans and
one Democrat voted faye" Malone was

wOMA.N's WAY.

Young man with the strangely troubled look,
And the footsteps sad and Slow
Be not cast down by girlish frown
And o softly whispered mo"
Her sweet blush tells me different tale;
There is hope for you to-day.
In your hour of bliss remember this
1t is only woman's way.
She must not be too easily won,
She thinks, in her maiden pride;
So she lifts her eyes quite in surprise
When your arms are opened wide;
And when you offer your heart and hand,
Then she begs for more delay;
In her lovers need she would have him plead
1t is only woman's way.
If q maiden ever adores swain,
In this vale of smiles and tears,
Who her heart hath stirred by loving word,
TITS the man that perseveres.
She hates coward whose heart is faint,
Like the zephyr in odorous May,
Who will drop his lance, at a maidens glance
1t is only d woman's way.
IT'S all the same throughout the land,
In the palace and the cot,
That maidens are shy and men must try
For the blessing they have not.
For the helpmeet Heaven doth mean for all,
To cheer till the head grows gray,
With the soft caress, and the power to bless,
In woman's pleasant way.

SEPTEMBER 10Th.
Editor Louisa Neacs and Farmer:
The purport of this communication is
doubtless of no importance to any one from
a political point of view, but it may be read
with interest by some of my personal friends.
MY connection with the Republican party
of Virginia no longer exists. In my hum
BILE way l have been since 1867 an earnest
supporter of its measures. During these
years its teachings and its practices COM
manded my confidence and my admiration.
| do not regret, but am proud of my connec-
tion with it; its record q refer to national
politics. is grand one. In the arduous
toll in the years gone by it was led by brave
and patriotic men, who contended and con-
quered not for themselves and
their time, but for all men and for all
time. The leaders and the measures of the
Republican party then commanded the re-
spect and admiration of all nations. 1t was
the party to which looked as the only one
possessing the wisdom and patriotism nee
essary to the prosperity of the country
Naturally, it gives me pain to separate my
self from a party in which my first vote
was cast, and in which my whole life as a
voter has passed, nor would I turn from it
now if it were the same party, advocating
pure, statesmanlike measures, and compell-
ing victory by the majesty of truth as IN
the days of Charles Sumner and Thaddeus
Stevens. I do not believe the charges made
against the Democratic party in the Repub
lican platform to be true, and since I sus-
tanned without complaint in the days Of re-
construction the neglect, and in many cases
the contempt of my color for no reward or
hope of it, but for truths sake, is it not
reasonable that should refuse to support
a party which I believe is pressing its way
upon statements which do not think are
true? But not only do fail of belief in the
statements made in the Republican plat
form in regard to other things, but l wish
it known of all men that will not endorse
what is charged against the white people of
Virginia, in regard to the Danvlle affair
I have lived so much of my life as is gone
among these people, and in spite of my po-
litical antagonism have found them kind
and hospitable. I shall not state their cha1-
acter. I have taught the children of these
people in the public schools for many years.
They have met me in the school-room and
have listened to my instruction with loving
confidence. | cannot go to the polls and
record my name as one who believes that
the parents of these children-my pupils
are possible assassins. Yours,

Sketch of Gen, Fitz Lee,


The Richmond correspondent of the New
York World gives the following sketch of
Gen. Fitz Lee
ssGen. Lee, accoutred and caparisoned in
all the glory of a gray Confederate uniform,
a black plume in his wide brimmed hat, and
curbing fiery steed, inspires crowd, as at
the last Inauguration, with great enthusi-
asm. Added to this, the very whisper of
his magic name is as the sound of the bat
tle-cry to an old war horse, and no crowd Of
Virginia soldiers but must break out in loud
huzzas when it is spoken. In citizens dress
and he is not fastidious as to his tailor,
but, as on the occasion of General Grants
funeral, frequently appears in garments of
strange fashion and the worse for wear
General Lee is a homely, stout Virginia
farmer, plain in speech, fond of anecdote,
and with loud and jovial laugh that fills
the town with breath of plantation life
and tells the club men two squares off that
"Fitz Lee" has come. 1t is in his courtly
and deferential manner to women, whom
he treats with reverent courtesy that is
particularly winning and engaging, that ne
appears socially at his best. Gen. Lee is
not an orator, but even Virginia people,
who are of all people most given over to
the traditions, are beginning to realize that
this is lost art, and one that does not
properly belong to a highly civilized com :
munity, which has other ways of informing
itself than through the silver accents of a
popular speaker. His rough clothes, his
rough and ready speech speech, his unaf-
fected interest in the county fairs, in stock
breeding, and even country tournament,
where the pretty girls in the neighborhood
all assemble, give him popularity with the
masses which more eloquent and even a
more able man would fail to excite. "The
truth isl said Virginia gentleman, sitting
on the implanted veranda attached to the
house of his eighth great-grandfather,
''Fitz Lees gentleman; we all know him
and his stock; he married Virginia girl, q
beautiful creature, Nelly Fowle; we all
know her stock; nice plantation; knows a
good horse when he sees one, good soldier,
and besides, his names Lee, and we'll go
to the polls and give him handsome ma
joritys"

New Englanders in Virginia.

One of the striking features of the visit
of the New England Veterans to
the Valley of Virginia was the banquet
rendered them at Winchester, Saturday
afternoon, by the hospitable people of that
city and it's vicinity.
There was great regret expressed, es-
pecialy by the visiting veterans, that Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee was prevented by exacting
political engagements from accepting an
invitation to be present to deliver the
formal welcoming address, but this dissap-
pointment was largely atoned for by the
reading of letter from Gen. Lee, in which,
among other things, he bids the visitors a
hearty welcome and declares that ''the
South is notchanting misereries over strug-
gle OF quarter of century ago, but is wav-
ing the Star-Spangled Banner and hopes
the bloody shirt will be fnrled forever. -
Another touching feature was the exercises
conducted Sunday in the Confederate Gem
etery by the New Englad veterans, who
seem to have captured the love of the peo.
pie of Winchester by their tribute to the
more than 5000 Confederate heroes repos-
ing in Stonewall Cemetery.
We do not hear that Captain John Wise
was expected or that any letter was read
from him. That was not the place for him
or John Sherman. Their voice is still for
war; they oppose reconciliation, and their
flag is the crimson shirt They would have
been out of place in that festival CT love
and fraternity. -LyuchbM,q Meas. WI III
