The Legislature.

Our contemporary Of the Fredericks-
burg Star says;
Webelieve firmly that the Mahoneys
begin TO realize the fact that defeat
stares them in the face
They may realize the fact that defeat
is to be the portion Of WISE, WOOD,
and BLAIR, but they are as hopeful Of
securing a majority in the House OF
Deleeates--not, Of course, in the Sem
ate--as undoubting confidence in Ma
HOMES political strategy can render
them.
Let not the Democrats lose sight OF
the House OF Delegates. 1t is to the
securing OF majority in that body that
MALONE will direct all his efforts.
Next November, he must either die
politically, and be buried out Of sight,
or else he must elect to the next House
of Delegates a majority large enough to
overcome the Democratic majority in
the Senate, and thus to send him back
TO the United States Senate. Does any
body who knows the man suppose that
for one moment MALONE regards the
success Of WISE, WOOD, and BLAIR as
of any importance whatever when con-
trasted with the Importance of his re-
turn TO the United States Senate?
But concede that he is anxiously de-
sirous of WIsE's election, what could
he do for him that would compare in
importance with the results that he
hopes to effect in the doubtful coun-
ties? MALONE can raise but little mo-
ney this year. The Republicans of Ohio
and New York and Pennsylvania have
their hands full at home. They
have use there for all the mo-
ney they can raise. There are
no Federal or State officers upon
whom MALONE can levy assess
ments either in Virginia or in Wash
ington. Where, then, is he to get a
large fund for use in the current cam
paign? lie cannot do it. But he will
raise few thousand dollars in one way
and another. These few thousands he
would be foolish to spread out all over
Virginia in the expectation of giving
WISE a few hundred more votes out of
more than two hundred thousand,
when the same money might be used in
counties in which hundred, or fifty,
or even twenty votes might turn the
scale in favor Of his reelection to the
United States Senate.
The Legislature, therefore, must not
be absent from our thoughts for one
moment. Give LEE, MASSEY, and
AYERsa "gully-washing majority -
a storm Of ballots but do not neglect
to send a MALONE. washing majority
Of Democrats to the House of Dele
gates.

The Crops-The Political Outlook.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
NEAR TUNsTALL's STATION, !
September 4, 1885. !
This portion Of New Kent, lying in
the rich valley Of the Pamunkey river,
is flourishing. The crops are fine, par
ticularly the corn, and the spirits Of
the people are good. This station is
on the Richmond and York-Riyer rail-
road near the point of crossing the
Pamunkey-"Wh House." the pro-
perty Of W. II. F. Leland has daily
mail communication with Richmond,
distant twenty miles west. There are
here two large storehouses, wheel
wright and blacksmith-shops, &c.
The negroes have a considerable ma
jority. as they have also in the county
on the opposite side of the Pamunkey
(King William); but the whites, being
nearly solid for Democracy, are organ
izing, and are determined to make q
desperate struggle to overcome the ma
jority against them. 1t is believed that
the negroes will be divided instead oil
being solid against us, as heretofore.
We feel that we must carry the State
by large majority and gain in the
legislative districts, too.

LITERARY NOTES.

A novel paper from the pen and
pencil'o of w. Hamilton Gibson is
promised for the October Harper's,
under the title of Backyard
Studies" Mr.. Gibson astonished him>
self one fine morning by counting, in
his bit of city garden, twenty-five by
twelve feet, not less than sixty-four
different species of plants, many of
them among the most curious, though
the most common, of vegetable forms.
City ahd country people alike will be
interested in this strange revelation,
the interest of which is enhanced by
Mr.. Gibson's delicate drawings. The
confusion about "Mexican Politics"
in the minds of her next,door neigh
bors will perhaps receive some relief
from an article in the forthcoming
Harper's Magazine On this subject
with portraits of some of the present
political leaders of Mexico.
"Dora's Device" anew romance

Southern Aegis," Ashville, Alabama,
