THE MAHoNE outrage mill in Virginia is
now in full operation, fer effect as well in
Now York as in the Generals own State.
The latest and most terrible and shocking
product Of the mill is case in which three
democrats in county in which the Ma
honeites have an immense majority inform
ed one ofMahone's jackmen that he should
not speak at democratic meeting, and that
the other democrats Of the county, hearing
Of it later, told him if he would wait until
the next day they would call another
meeting and publicly rerudiate the action
of the three men referred to. 1t was blood
curdling outrage to be sure, and the Gen
erals Northern friends have already set their
harps to the tune.

The Presbyterian Synod of Virginia


The Synod Of Virginia resumed its session
in the Second Presbyterian Church, Lynch,
burg, yesterday.
Rev. VIM. Dinwiddie, of Alexandria who
preached before the Synod last night, open
encd the services with prayer.
Appeals were made in behalf of Hampden
Sidney College, after which it was stated
that the amount of subscriptions for the Col
lege at the meeting Wednesday evening was
81 $50.
Rev. DR.. Armstrong read the report ofthe
committee appointed to investigate the com
plant of Rev. Mr.. Ramsey, of Abingdon
Presbytery, in which that Presbytery refus-
ed him a letter Of dimissal to the Mary land
Presbytery in regular form because of his
views on evolution, to wit, that the doc
trine of evolution is not contrary 10 scrip
ture. The report recommended that the
case be at once heard by the Synod. The
report intimidated that Mr.. Ramsoy's views
on evolution are contrary to the teachings
of the Bible, but stated that he was in good
standing in the church and Synod.
Mr.. Ramsay then addressed the Synod in
his own defence, in which he sought to show
that bis views on evolution were not con-
trary to Inc fundamental principles of Chris
tianity, though they bad been declared in
opposition to the Bible and the Standards,
at the conclusion of which lengthy discus.
sicn followed over the question of receiving
the report, though it was finally received.
after which the suhjec! of Foreign Missions
was considered, at the close of which Mr..
Ramsay's case was again taken up, and dis
cussed at length. The subject, was, how
ever, postponed until to-day.

BoTH PARTIES in Ohio are now accusing
each other of all kinds Of election frauds
ever perpetrated, and many of the courts of
that State are engaged in trying cases aris-
ing from such frauds. And that they were
committed no body doubts. But, strange
though true, neither Governor Foraker nor
Senator Sherman demands that there shall
be reduction of the Congressional repre-
sentation from Ohio on account of those
frauds. And yet these same gentlemen say
that Virginia should only have six instead
of ten representatives in Congress because
the white people of the State, having a
large majority Of the voters, will not sup.
port the scalaways Fho have them maligned
and libeled throughout the North as MUIR
derers and assassins.

good time We had last evening. Please
proclaim il fer the educated and unsophsti-
Gated people Of our section, and more too,
that the Linco!nia boys are wide awake.
Joviality was the toney enthuse of tho occn-
sion, animating the sanguine spirits present
TO an irresistible determination to crush
the worst political boss tyranny that ever
cursed Virginia. The Importance of elect

made special remembrance. We can't see
a jug on each shoulder foisted as an indie

cordially welcome to see our flag wave, for

TO be elected, will address the club and all
concerned Tuesday evening next, and that
everybody can hear healthy gospel"

A DENIAL.

Al meeting Of the members Of the dem
ocra!ic party held in the city of Williams
burg, on the S.h day Of October, 1855, the
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted
That whereas it has come TO our knowl-
edge through the columns ofthe Alexandria
GAZETTE that Jno. S. Wise, in public speech,
had charged the officers and employees OF the
Eastern Luna;ic Asylum with seduction
of female patients under their charge, such
an assertion being made without warrant
of truth and with malice prepense, and
whereas it is we'll known that the originator
and perpetrator of the beastly outrage
which has SO shocked this community and
which is the only one OF the kind which has
occurred since the triumph Of democracy,
in this State, was neither au officer nor
regular employee in the Eastern Lunatic
ASYLUM therefore be it
Resotrcd, 1st. That We deny without fear
Of contradiction that any investigation had
here had proved any such facts as stated by
John S. Wise in his public speech made in
WarTenton, as reported in the evening State
Of Gosh September, aud in the Alexandria
GAZETTE in the issue of tho 9Th instant;
and that such assertions arc not only unjust,
but false. We do ASSERT that nothing in
the testimony given in the case Of the Com
monwealth against DeBraque implicated
any official in any way, except statement
of the lunatic allowed to testify, in which
she stated that "if she would be guilty of
such crime she would not look at Ger.
tain official" aud still denying her condi
ton, and that if she was SO, that some Giti-
cial was responsible for it, thus .un5,er oath
n ~ Il ;ot; har tl,I,t: =,
her latter assertion Gu was made in malice at
the c.. ere resi- of her paramount by the official
referred to, her letters in evidence proving
her relation to the accused.
81. We deplore the fact that any one &C.
cupying the high position OF being canhi-
date for Gubernatorial honors should resort
to attempted aspersious Of the character Of
men whom we know to be pure and true
and whom We are now ready to support and
defend.
Sd. That as citizens Of this old city and
lovers of justice and truth, We tender to DR..
Fowler our high appreciation and sincere
thanks foT his manly and successful over
throw of the position assumed by Mr.. Wise
at Warrenton against the officers and en-
ployees Of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum, by a
single question which the speaker dared not
answer, thus protecting the name and fame
Of good men who were not present to hurl
back upon him the atrociots charge.
| 4th That we request the citizens of Will
| lamsburg who were present at the trial Of
DeBraque, the counsel for the prosecution
and the officers of the court to aGiX their
signatures to the following protest.
5th. Resolved, on motion, that the demo
cratic papers of the State and the Williams
burg Gazette be requested to publish the
same. RO. L. ARMISTEAD, Chairman.
JOHN A. HENLEY, Secretary.

GOVERNOR FoRAKER,n his late speech in
New York, said General Fitz Lee bought
q rebel generals uniform and rode in
Robert E. Lees saddle, with q caval-
cade, at the head of which was carried
the battle flags of Pickett's division. Lee
was not only reviving the recollections Of
the rebellion. but the recollections of the
wrong side of the rebellion at that. If there
had been an honest vote in the South Blaine
would have been elected President" The
Governor is announced to speak in Virginia,
does he will sing an entirely different tune.
But what sort Of man must he be who
deliberately utters such barefaced false
hoods?

AMONG GENERAL MAHoNE's nolitical
friends at the North is,ekEe eV. DR.. Everett
Hale Who INF TTCceut speech, said, "there
is not State formerly engaged in the re-
hellion that can borrow dollar at par, that
can build mile of railroad, or that can es-
tablish common school," According to
population there have been more miles Of
railroad built in the South than in the
North during the last five years; Virginia
alone established three hundred common
schools last year; and the securities of some
OF the Southern States readily command par.
That those of Virginia do not is mainly at
-t.ibutabe to The Rev Doctors friend, Cen
Malone, save only AID except for whom
reputation would never have been possible
iS the State. General Malone doesn't be-
lieve in the Bible, and the one his reverend
South hating friend, DR.. Hale, uses, makes
a special exception Of the people of the
South in lis injunction to live in charity to-
ward all men.

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER %.

THAT THE opposition of the negroes
of Virginia 70 tho white people among
whom they live has lost them some OF theif
best friends ia the North is shown by the
foll5winr extract from the editorial columns
of Our Country, of New York, edited by Col.
Edward Daniels, who was the editor of the
late Tirqinia State Journal, which during its
existence, was the recognized State and ma
tional republican organ of Virginia. The
Colonel has always been staunch defender
of the rights of the colored race. He now
and truly, says:
"Mahone carries them all in his pocket
although fifteen years ago he and his set
were overpowering the great negro MAORI
ties of Petersburg with stuffed ballot DoAeS
and tissue votes, and by scheme OF locai
government so bad that even democratic
Governor vetoed it and was burned in etigy
by the Malone crowd. Even Governor
Kemper was shocked by the atrocous Ell
fort to deprive a whole people of their votes,
which the Malone gang attempted. Yet
this set are now the leaders of the republi-
can party of Virginia, and rely on the ser
Witty of the negro voter 10 hold on to the
empty she'll of what was once I'D honest and
respectable party"
The negroes resentfully repudiate the
idea that they are not like white people
but that they are not is demonstrated by
their acknowledgement of General Malone
as their political master, for had any man
treated white people as Malone has treated
them he would have been more likely to re-
ceive halter than an office at their hands.
