ONE OF the features of General Mahone's
commencing campaign, as OF all his previous
ones, is his effort to provoke class antagon-
isms and to intiame the poorer people OF
Virginia against those who are more pros
porous. Aud yet those acquainted with the
Generals previous history know that, as is
the case with many another man in his con
dition whom fortune has favored, the Cen
eral. when he did not want the support OF
the workiugmen, treated them as though
tbey were creatures made Of different clay.
His Employees appeared before him with un-
covered heads on pain of instant discharge /;
it was more difficult for poor man to have
an audience with him than with the Car
of Russia; he had railroad man discharged
because he would not patiently brook the
impudence of his negro body servant, and
he introduced The system Of store orders in
payment of wages. The General has acted
the role Of the bergar Oh horseback; but
now, when he wants the votes OF poor peo-
pie, with characteristic { Il. outry, he insults
their intelligence by pretending to be their
especial friend, whose chief Object in life is
to protect them from the oppression Of their
more successful'neighbor But the General
will finl that the workingrnen Of Virginia
are neither silly nor ignorant enough to be
deceived by such chat.

GENERAL MAHoNE's jackmen are endeav-
oring to create the impression among the
Generals ignorant colored followers that in
the event of democratic success their public
schools will be either closed or crippled. II
the colored free schools are TO be closed, the
white ones must also be. But the white people
are too much enamored of their schools to
have them closed; and to preserve them,
must, even if opposed to them, preserve
those Of their colored neighbors. But there
is no necessity for the General to resort 10
such tricks to make himself"solid" with the
negroes, for the vast majority ofthem would
vote for him, and against their white neigh
bors, if be were in favor ofclosing every free
school in the State. Their votes are intlu-
enced by ignorant prejudice, not by reason.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY Il.

TIE IMPRESSION prevails in the No;th'
omono those who are ignorant of the true
condition of affairs in Virginia, that' SO 'a'
as the reputation of the Virginia STATE oe''
ia concerned, the democrats are DO pe'.ei
+ban the Mahoneites. The reasons OF 'his
;mnress,on are that Northern people doh
subscrib. to Virginia newspapers ana 'na'
Northern newspapers, even those not uh'
friendly TO the State, either have no ''r'
einia correspondents, or such as intentioh'
a,,v or ipnorantly mislead them. Inc 'ir-
pinia democrats. the men whose properly
would have been taxed to pay the deot o.
their State, fought for years for the prlV''ese
of settling that debt on terms satisfactory 10
the creditors, but finding that General MA.
hone and his colored untaxed repuoia-
tors had the support Of the federal admins:
tration and the Supreme Court, they ga" tna'
a longer struggle would necessarily perpetu'
ate the sway of Malone, and, in consequence
rnin the State and all her interests II no'
-. ,,erv civilization. They therefore con-
s.nted to leave the question to the decls-
ION of the courts, and the courts have de-
cided that the Riddleberger bill Is cons'ltu-
tional, though it repudiates third OF the
debt, in addition to the third pr-vlously set
apart for West Virginia, and reduces the In
terest on the remainder to one hall the rate
specified in Tho contract. ard makes no
certain provision even for The payment
of that. The Virginia democrats, OF
rather some of them, acquiesced in THIS
not because they approved if, but because
TO have antagonzed it any longer would
have given the State over to the control OF
Malone and his mongrel gang, to whom the
rate of taxation was Of no consequence and
who, to retain power, would just rs soon re-
pudiate the whole debt rs two thirds OF 1t.
When that danger shall he permanently
averted, In" people Of the State, if they be
wise, will try to regain their lost credit and
TO restore their furnished honor BY settle
ment of their debt honorable to themselve;
md satisfactory to their creditors.
