How Gen. Fitz Lee Talks.

An interviewer from the Balti
more Sun has been besieging Gen.
Lee. He spoke at some length as
to the methods by which the Re-
publcans hope to succeed, summing
up what he had said as follows:
1.-THE new Republicans expcct't to
get the bulk OF the negroes az a
matter OF course. The fight is be
ing made in the Southwest to get
as many white votes as pGSle to
add to their negro vote <,es s.: Ma 4.
White votes in Virginia he expects
to get $4,000 or 10000, aud out Of
12S,000 negro votes he will secure
10000. With characteristic folly
he practically tells the Southwest
that he expects to be elected by the
negroes. His total OF 10000 is
ridiculous. According to the fig
ures 1 have seen, Cameron, when
elected Governor, had lis, 473 votes.
Wise received, when he rar as Con-
gressman-at-large, 99,992, while
Blaine's vote was 1886. The lat
tervote was the union of the old
and the new Republican white vote
with a nearly solid negro vote
Much of the old Republican vote
will not go to Wise, and in all State
elections the negro vote is consid
erablS less than at Presidential
clectionS.n

S. S. WILKINS,

1t is said that the editor Of a
magazine published at the Virgin
ia Military Institute, his alma mater,
requested General Malone to fur
riSh - history of his cadetShlp at
the Institute, to which request the
following modest reply was receiv-
ell: Dear sir, / am at present too
b,aT making history to write It."
Wilmington Morning News.
Our contemporary, though a Re-
publican journal, could not ofcourse
apply the term ''modeSt" to Malone
in any sense, other than in derision
and contempt. One would have to
be stepped IN iniquity and sin, in
deed, if the assertion of making his
tory emanating from Malone did
not provoke sheer. Yes, Malone
is "maklne history" utwhata cata
losue of crimes are appended to it!
Benedict Arnold, Ben Butter, am
the like can claim the unenviable
distinction also. Like them his name
will be in history, imperishable, and
like them, remembered only for the
crimes he has committed. AS
- wrecker of a railroad and the dis
poiler of a people, who had commit
ted their interests into his keeping
as traitorto his State, and the de
famer of people. who had honored
and trusted him, Malone is making
history "with aveDgeance." No one
eAvies him surely in his career OF
illfamy. no one willspeak ofhim sure
Is, when the history Of the times in
which we live, are written, but to
dispise and curse him.

Mr.. Keiley,s Case.

The correspondence in relation
to Mr.. Kelley, the United States
Minister rejected by the Austrian
Government, although it has not,
been officially made pnblic, can be
authenticity outlined. 1t began
with a communication from Austria
received by the State Department
shortly after Mr.. Kelley was ap-
pointed, stating that MIR. Kelley
was Objectionable and would not
be received. The reason given IN
diplomatic terms was the fact that
Mr.. Kelley had married a Jewess,
and that, according to an inviolaole
custom at Vienna, no one OF
Asiatic blood could be received at
court.
The second communication is a
cablegram informing Mr.. Kelley OF
his rejection. 1t reached him at
Paris, where he halted.
The third letter is dated at the
State Department, Washington,
is addressed to the Austrian EN-
peror, and is signed BY Secretary
Bayard. 1t is carefully worded,
but is nevertheless very vigorous.
1t conveys to the Emperor that
this republic not only does not
recognize, but has a profound con-
temnt for race or religious distinct
ions; that, not recognizing them
ourselves, we cannot be expected
to consider them for the purpose of
humoring Other peoples prejudices
Mr.. Kelley was appointed on ac.
count of his personal fitness for the
place. If lie were disqualified in
any of the ways recognized By lib
eral and enlightened people, the
United States would be glad to
recall him; but under the circum.
stances this Government would
simply instruct him not to go TO
Vienna. And, in conclusion, Mr..
Bayard intimated that while the
Austrian ambassador would be
treated with social aud official conr-
tesy so long as he remained here,
the United States Government
would not be offended if that gentle
man were called home.
The fourth communication. which
will consist of the Emperor Francis
Joseph's reply, has not yet been re-
ceived. When itarlIves the whole
correspondence will be handed to
Mr.. Kelley, and he will not be crit
icsed by the Department if he al.
lows it to become public. In the
meantime the President is said 10
be very muchpleased with the man.
