MIR. WIsE's TROUBLE At wARRENTos

The Warrenton Tirginian gives the fol-
lowing version Of the episode which occur
red last Saturday when Mr.. John S. Wise
spoke there and notice of which has here
tofore been made in the GAzETTE
He said when the democrats wanted tho
negroes votes they would take them by the
hand and call them My colored friend, tut

He said if Mr.. Lees name had been i'it2.

He advised the republicans to watch the
democrats throughout the county to prevent
them from stuffing the ballot boxes, that i;
they had half chance they would do it.
AT this point Mr.. VIM. ]. Risdon rose in

McCarty? Settle with him before You tall;
about fighting anyb body else"
Mr.. John r. Grant walked up to Mr. Ris-
don and the two walked out together. AZ
the mention of Page McCarty's name Wise
grew alternately red and white with rage.
The muscles Of his mouth were urcoD:roi-
able and twitche1 neryously. Controlling
himself, he said he had always heard Eau
quier was the Athens of Virginia, The CEN
tire of civilization and that he was very
much surprised to find it not The case; that
he was disappointed in the place.
He said the democrats were opposed TO
the internal revenue system until they got
control Of the Offices and notwithstanding
they had ample opportunities to abolish the
system they had failed to do SO. A gen
tleman from this town was now hold

man said in the Southwest. That tbs cry
of the democrats before the election E%a
"Turn the rascals out" and as soon as they
got them out they put damned raScals in tie

upon his fathers character,--and every

THE PHILADELPHIA Sentinel, the &C
kpowledged and we'll supported organ OF
the -colored voters of Pennsylvania, In re-
ferripg to the efforts of General Mahone's
friends in the North to keep alive the fires
of sectional hate, says
"Ostensibly the bloody shirt is waved
for black men; in reality it is for white
men, who have lost power. AS long as
power rested with these men, the negro
could suffer the tortures Of the damned for
all thew cared, but when the power Is torn
from their grasp, he is made a hobby
horse By which to gain the favor OF the peo-
pie" :,
Now this is what the intelligent colored
men of Pennsylvania, who live in the city
from which General Malone has recently
received subscription for five thousand
dollars to his campaign fund, and who know
whereof they speak, say of the Generals
supporters in that city. Are the colorcd
voters OF Virginia worse Informed or more
stupid than their brothers in Pennsylvania?
