A COMPLIMENT, Nor AN INsULT.-Ma-
hone is more distinguished man in civil
life than Buckncr or Johnston, and Long
street was one of the ablest Of Confederate
Generals. 1t is true, that Malone and
Longstreet could not have adequately rep
resented the domineering venom of the
solid South. They would not have had a

queror of the rebellion serve political
end Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
When Mrs. Grant requested General
Hancock to invite some such prominent
Confederates as General Johnston and
General Buckner to act as pall-bearers at
her husbands funeral in conjunction with
such Union Generals as Sherman and
Sheridan, she wished to conciliate the
Southern people, not to offer them deadly
insult in the grave of a man whose last
words was prayer for harmony and
brotherly love. This desire of the Cincin-
natti Commercial Gazette and other South
haters, that under pretence of concllia.
ton Southern renegades should be invited
to participate in Grants funeral as repre-
sentatives of the Southern people, is in
strict accord with the time-honored Radical
policy. With them it has ever been SER

ter and ignorance of its component parts,
it is not the stalwart faction which once
dominated the Republican party, but it is
combination of few white men with the
bulk of the negroes, who are mere puppets
in the hands of their white leaders. Their
leaders were once COnservative-De Democratic
Virginians, who for some reason or another
lost the confidence of the true people. These
white men have grown desperate. They
are controlled by hate of the most malig-
nant type, they are constantly uttering the
vilest ISLANDERS upon the virtue and intelli-
gence of the Commonwealth. They have
published to the world that the Democrat
ic people Of Virginia are organized repu-
diators, ballot-box suffers and assassins. :"
This, Virginians, is the enemy you now
confront, combining all that is objections
BILE in the National Republican party with
prejudice and hate of Virginians, because
they are true to the ancient traditions of
this venerable Commonwealth.
This detestable party, beaten in 1883 and
1884, is making its last stand ON Virginia s

are now putting forth supreme effort to
save themselves from utter humiliation.
| There is no device, fraud or violence that
they will not employ to save themselves

There Is one way and only one to defeat
this party; that is to put the entire De-

canvass made by our leading speakers; we
want crossroads speeches made by our
local leaders. We want barbecues and

huddled in their beds, and a peace
full calm prevailed throughout the
city, the city hall bell began to ring
out the alarm Of fire. Soon the

was heard in every direction ap-
preaching the heart Of the city.

the store building on Commerce

where dense smoke had aroused
Frank Adams and wife who lived in
the upper story Of the building, from
whence came the alarm. On getting
into the celler q smouldering fire
was discovered, consisting Of two

which refused to burn readily owing
to their dampness, and this was
easily extinguished. How it origi-
mated is a mystery The dampness
Of the celler is looked upon as all
that prevented quite conhagration,

IT is the opinion of many that it
is great shame to capture the
young trout in such large quantities
as heard of from day to day. If re-
ports are correct one person has al
ready pulled from the streams in
this vicinity nigh onto $50 trout,
and it is reasonably safe to assert
that fully one-half of them were not
over three inches in length, while
the largest can't possibly be very
large. Many other parties are
catching them in goodIy numb ers.
A two.pounder is considered choice.
AT such rate how long will it take
to clean out the trout? anG ought
there not to be law prohibiting the
catching of them in their infancy in
such large quantities? Give them a
chance to develop.
