LENDING BooKs.-The following is from 9
communication in this weeks Southern
Clurchman:
'NIr. Thoms had good way about lend
ing books, but likely to be an expensive
way. lend books, but keep a memoran
dunn of those loan even with this I lose
them. Might it not be good thing for the
borrowers of books to have little con-
science about returning them? If not a
matter of conscience, might they not be
more particular in keeping borrowed books
to themselves, SO that they will be reminded
to return them? One matter: no borrower
Of book ought ever to lend that borrowed
book they might have conscience enough
for this. Suppose the reader looks on his
shelves to find out whether he has not a
neighbor's book, nd return it."

A CA2D.

In answer to article which See in rcpub.
lican paper of Washington, which says that CIas
A. Jackson was a5 good Il republican in Richmond
at the July convention there was there viii
say ! was only after seeing the actions Of Malone
in the convention. | thought that the time had
come when every good republican should struggle
to get rid of Malone, and 50 my voice shall re
heard in that direction from now until after r!cc-
ton day. The MahOncitcs could not have WAITED
my support. They met in some hail on King
street, and read nc. John Scales and number Of
other leaders out Of the party because we support
ed General Lee We meet with this contempt
from the colorcd pcor'c of Alexandria because we
had he manhood to come ont and support General
Lee The paper referred to says nothing about
the time when Malone went 10 the Government
Printing Office and had Montgomery discharged
on the charge that he WAS in sympathy with .Imo.
S. Barbour and a correspondent of the hLEXAN-
DRIA GAZETTE. If Malone had the chance that
Mr.. Barbour had there would no: bc = colorcd
man in the departments but those hc would have
actively canvassing for him. The reason that |
am against Malone is because believe that The
interests of the people Of the Common wealth of
Virginia demand it. Ny voice in that direction
shall be heard from until election day.
Very respectfully,
CHAS. A. JACKSON.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 80.

SouE PEOPLE are puzzled to know the
reason why General Malone brought sena-
,or Sherman and Governor FORAKER
and other Ohio bloody shutters into Virginia
TO speak for him. They can't see the sense
of an attempt to gain the votes OF "hlle
people by the appeals of the men VINO maze
them. and who, until the last two weeks
have been engaged in abusing and malgn'
ing them. Nor can they understand no"
advocates of high tariff can expect to gain
votes. when, though such tarilf has exist
ed for quarter Of a century, business IS oe
dressed and wages in the protected indus
tries as low as they are. But 1t IS noe ' ="
the effect of the bloody shirt nor OF Inc tai -
tbot General Malone brings his South'hat'
GRO here He is too astute politician 10
expect to make any thing by such means
His object is to make the colored vote soilo,
and il is to secure that that he brings his
peace warriors to Virginia. Wherever they
go all the colored preachers in the neigh
borhood call upon them, anu are told that
General Malone is the only Southern man
who has ever stood by the Northern repub
licans in their efforts to raise up the negro te
eaality with his former master, and tha
their Northern friends will let them loos
out for themselves hereafter if they fail tt
support the General now. 1t is for the soi'
purpose of soldifying the negro vote by the
private conversations Of the Ohio South-hat
ers with the negro preachers that the for
mer have been brought to Virginia, and mol
for the reason that their public speeches
could influence the vote of any Intelligent
white man.

LIKE GOVERNOR FORAKER, Senator Sher-
man, the selfacknowledged South. hater in
Ohio, and the notorious bloody-shirt waver
north of the Potomac, no sooner crossed that
river than his hate changed to love for
his Southern fellow citizens, and, instead oil
the bloody.shirt, the flag lie waved was that
under which General Lee marches, the stars
and stripes. Indeed the Senator in his
speech at Petersburg last night went so far
in his expressions of love for the men hehad
a short time before denounced as bulldozers,
murderers and assassins, as actually to laud
1.-THE courage with which they fought in
what they regarded as good cause during
the war;" Was the like ever heard of be-
fore? But it is not by appeals to the reason
of intelligent men that General Malone ex-
poets to make votes.

Minister Of Foreign Affairs, continues to be
the uppermost topic ofconversation on the

posed to be lunatic. He says that he often
called at the Foreign Office to sec NJ. de
Freycinet to obtain redress for alleged
wrongs, but was refused an interview. Sew
eral employees at the Foreign Office con
firm this statement. NJ. de Freycinet is pos
tive that he never saw Mattel or heard OF

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 30.-The likelihood
OF heavy food in the James River is very
great. A telegram from Columbia, IS miles
west of Richmond, says the water at that
point at noon was twenty four feet high
and still rising. There is very slight
rise hero as yet, but merchants along
the river in the lower part of the city are
preparing against an emergency by remov.
ing the goods from their storehouses to

In THE estimates of the probable result OF
the election in this State next Tuesday, the
consideration of one important factor must
not be omitte,l-the influence of the ma
tional administration. In all the political
contests in Virginia during the Arthur
regime "thc whole weight of the ad.
ministration was thrown in favor OF
General Mahone," and that that weight
was potential none knows better than
the man who is now i'll sore straits
because of it's loss. The election next Tues.
day will be uninfluenced by the federal adj
ministration Those who vote under in
struclions will receive their orders from
Petersburg from the national capital.
The loss to the Mahoneites, and the conse-
quent gain 10 the democrats, from the
changed policy Of the federal administra-
ton in respect Of interference with elections
in Virginia will be considerable.

SENATOR SHERMAN was one of the men
who robbed Virginia of oue.third of her
territory, of which the State of West Vir.
ginia was created. And yet, in his speech
at Petersburg last night, the Senator said,
"the two Virginias should be one State"
The barefaced effrontery of the Ohio Senator
is only equaled by that of his pal, the senior
Senator of Virginia.
