The Campaign.

Legal proceedings have been instituted by the
Mahoneitcs in Richmond, Petersburg and in
other portions OF the State to compel the regis
trars TO allow representatives of that party to
have copy of their books. They ask that man
damus shall he issued by the courts to require the
registrars 10 grant an inspection of their books.
Tho object of this course is the Mahoncitcs al"gc,
to prevent the democratic rcgis rars from adding
new names to their books between now and the
day of election.
Reports from colorcd counties in the Peters
burg and other black districts show that Malone
is sending ont circnlsrs calculated to inlame the
negroes against the white people. In several Of
the counties Mailorcs colored preachers are hold
ing religious rcvivals. In this way the negroes
are brought together and an opportunity afforded
republican speakers TO harange and arouse them
against the democrats. The interest manifested
by the colorcd voters in the success o: the demo-
cratic ticket has caused Malone 10 little alarm.

Mr.. WIsE's ANSWER TO A QUESTION.
In a speech at a democratic meeting in
Richmond, Tuesday evening, the Hon. 3.
3. Munford told story about the Hon.
John S. Wise, who was supporting Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston years ago against w.
w. Newman, the greenback candidate.
Wise was then rampant democrat, and
was interrupted By an old colored man with
the remark:
$50 ahead" said Mr.. Wise.
"What is niger TO do septin dey usher
more greenbacks ?'
''Rob hen.roosts, you darn rascal, as you
have always DONE"
It is safe to say that il such a question
was propounded TO Mr.. Wise now he would
either answer differently or decline to
answer at all.

AN INTELLIGENT and reliable colored
man OF Charlotte county, Preston Wilson, a
man who has sense enough to know that
the interests of his race are dependent upon
those Of tho people among whom they live,
says the Malone canvassers OF his county
are instructing the colored voters there TO
go to the polls on election day fully armed,
and to shoot or knock down any white man
who may say word to them about voting.
Nothing would please the Mahoneites better
than bloodshed next Tuesday, for that
would ''tire the Northern heart" But what
good would that do the poor negroes who,
if they follow such instructions as those re-
ferred to, would necessarily be slaughtered

HIS LAST DRAM.-Says dispatch from
Wiliamsport, Pa: John Chatham, of Pine
Station, has been known as heavy drink
err, and has been held up 10 youths as an
example OF what degradation will follow
the use OF Intoxicating liquors. 1t was
made known Monday morning that John
died Sunday after drinking pint of whis-
key. Chatham had been on q protracted
spree. All his money was gone. He was
thirsting for drink and he walked to the
hotel bar and asked for glass of liquor.
The bartender said If you drink pint Of
whiskey you can have it for nothing" This
liberelity astonished Chatham. Recovering
himself, he said in an excited manner, give
me q pint and I'll drink it," The bartender
poured out a pint Of whiskey in a large
glass. Chatham grasped the glass, raised it
to his lips End never lowered it until the
last drop gurgled down his throat. Smack
ing his lips he laid the glass on the bar rub
bng his hands in ecs.acy. He exclaimed
as he tottered toward the door, THAT has
made a new man OF me-" He fell to the
floor unconscious. The bartender picked
him up. Chatham was dead.

why the Blair educational bill went to sleep
in the democratic House after passing the

when democrat attempted to call it up out
of its order on the calendar, objection was
made by Mr.. Hscock, the leader of the re-
pubicans, and because when two opportuni-
ties were afforded Mr.. Wise to call it up,
he awaited himself of neither of them.

GENERAL MALONE renders himself ridicul-
Gus by calling the democrats "Bourbons'
and at the same time accusing them OF
s'plunging Tho South into secession" The
was has been over a quarter of century
and nearly all of those who were instru-
mental in bringing it on are either dead or
too old to be assailed And then, too, it
had to come, and it is we'll that it came
when it did, and when the South was not
stronger than it was, and that it is aow over.
Ifnever forgetting the war be Bourbonism
then the Mahoneites are champion Bour-
bons. And if General Fitz. Lee, at the
commencement Of the war a young cavalry
lieutenant whose profession was war, is q
Bourbon for having taken part in it, what
are Gen. Malone and Messrs. Wise, Wood
and Blair and the rest of the Generals jack
men, who, though not professional soldiers,
engaged in it also?

EITHER GENERAL MALONE or MIR. NC
Kenz;e is guilty of wiful and deliberate
falsehood about the corruption doodle
sent to this city for election purposes. The
General says Mr.. Mckenzie promised etc
deliver the vote" and therefore the ''boodle'
was sent TO him. Why? Because the Gen
eral believed that by placing the corruption
fund in Mr.. NcKeEzie's hands he would be
enabled to purchase the voters of this city
or that by placing certain sums in the hands
of local henchmen and sub bosses that they
would Influence" the vote in the desired
direction. Mr.. Mckenzie, in his circular
addl essed to the colored republicans, says {:
81 never promised Gen. Malone or General
anybody else 10 deliver the vote" But this
circular was addressed exclusively to
the colored republicans, whom Mr.. Nc
Kenzie has taken into his confidence
t, the exclusion of the while republicans,
who are apparently ignored rs being un-
worthy of notice in the disclaimer, and was
secretly circulated among the colored peo-
pie in order that the denial might reach
them and subserve its purpose unobserved
by the white republicans, who are as deeply
interested in the moduS Opcrandi Of the bar
gain and sale as those to whom the "cir-
GUAR was addressed. But Mr.. Mckenzie
goes further, and uses stronger language,
and denonnces the statement that he pro-
posed "to deliver the vote" "a "a le" We
- ~,

Con. Malone says he, Mckenzie, did as

left before the public TO settle the question
Of veraciy in this particular instance be-
tween themselves, but it is al indisputable
fact that the reputation of neither for truth.
fulness will, in the slightest degree, be injured
such contest. Without espousing the
cause of either, it must be confessed that as
the case now stands General Malone seems
to have the best of it, inasmuch as Mr.. Nc
Kenzie's frantic denial of his cheeky as.
sumption was circular addressed ex-
clusively to the colored republicans and
secretly issued to them. The saddest
thought in such lesson of infamy is the
bare possibility that there may be large
population in our midst clothed with the
highest right of American citzenship-the
ballot-who have no ideas OF their own, but
whose votes have become tho merchandise
of political prohigates and tricksters, such

the price of labor, ignorant of the fact
that in Spain, where the tariff IS
higher than any where else in Europe,
wages are lower than in any other country
on that continent, and that in free trade
England wages are higher than in any pro-
lection country abroad. The mining and
manufacturing facilities of Virginia are lnil-
nitely superior to those possessed by any
Northern State, and were it not for the ex-
listing tariff, which enables Northern mine
and factory owners to make large profits,
even under the disadvantages Of their loca-
ton, by pillaging all the other people of the
country, the Northern men referred to
would be compelled to move their plants to
Virginia in order to avail themselves of her
advantages, and thus be enabled to compete
successfully with their foreign rivals. With
q revenue, instead Of protective tarl1, all
the mines in Virginia would soon be oper-
ated by Northern capital, and all her water
power be utilized by Northern manufac-
turers.
