Sayings Of the Kickers at Petersburg.
NOT BY DAYLIGHT, BUT ny aAs-L1aHT.

NOT BY DAYLIGHT, BUT ny aAs-LIaHT.
In the seeding or Kickers' Convention at
Petersburg, Edgar Allan reviewed Ma
homes connection with the Republican
party and how he came into the party, not
by daylight, but by the gaslight at mid
night in the Wing office.
WHAT JOHN S. WISE SAID OF MALONE.
In the Kickers' Convention at Peters
burg, John 8. Wise said of Malone. He
never strikes when he can use another 9
hand. Then he set Elan on me, and then
various others. He snsaked on me, strik-
ing me everywhere like an Italian assassin
striking his stiletto under my ribs.
Wise stated that when he said "Mastsr.
load on, follow thee" he didn't think he
was id enough feel to take it In earnest,
but the Democratic press took it up and
Malone received 1t in dead earnest. He
ridiculed Malone for his vanity, for his
party peculiafities, for his avariee and am
bition, and denounced him for libelling
Blaine in that circular. SIT has come to
this, said he, ''that we have got a Malone
party and Republican party, and be-
long to the Republican. We have sacrific-
cd everything for harmony. Onr best men
have been kicked and sneered at. admit
u0FOI uuuClbbOOu buo ouckn VI ~
before as I do how" CGreat laughter.
Wise next launched into Judge Waddill;
but not by name. He said he would sup.
port no such person. He supposed Malone
would expect them to support his electors.
Well, let him. If we do we will know the
reason why. We mrst let tho Chicago
Convention know that there can be no unity
of the Republican party in Virginia with
Malone at the head of it. Let it be our
ultimatues. Malone must retire. What
do you say about it? Cries of "Geodp'

Hon. John F. Lewis said in the Kickers'
Convention that "Mahoue is no more capa.

RIDDLEBERGER SAYS HE WROTE MAHoNK's
SPEECH.
At Petersburg Wednesday night Mr..
Riddleberger addressed an anti Malone
meeting and in the course of his remarks,
said:
"When did this pucker- brooches Caesar
grow so great. This man who never made
a speech in his life but what was written
for him. He (Riddleberger) said that he
wrote the speech Malone made in reply to
Ben Hill, that he (Riddleberger) took it to
the Office of the National Republican and
had it printed. He read the proof of it,
and he (Riddleberger) never took his clothes
off until he had delivered it to Mahone."

WHOM THE TARIFF HURrs.-Senator
Vance, in his article on the tariff in the
Bait. Sun of May 10th, shows that the tariff
tax necessarily Injuries five-sixths of our
population. The object of a protective
tariff is to increase prices. Those who have
manufactured products to sell get more for
them under protection than they would get
without it. So the manufacturers are bene-
flied. But those who have nothing to do
with manufactured products but to buy
them must necessarily suffer. They pay
out and get nothing in by reason of the
tariff They suffer and are kept poor and
hard run. Who are these victims2 The
orphan, the widow, the carpenter, the black
smith, the builder, the farmer and the farm
hand, the railroad employee, the GARDINER,
the nurse, the cook, the waiter, the lawyer,
the doctor, the merchant, the clerk-all
who buy. They pay enhanced prices for
everything they buy to benefit rich manu-
facturers, whose factories are perhaps
thousand miles away. Most of all, the
farmer suffers, because the tariff prevents
the foreigner from exchanging his products
freely for American farm products, and 30
cuts him off from market.

Commence the Work.

Having repeatedly presented the impor-
lance of Staunton and Augusta county ar
ranging for proper display of our resour-
ces and advantages at the Richmond Expo
sitioD, as recommended by Mr.. Ashton
Starke, President of the Virginia Agricu-
tural and Mechanical Society, there is moth
ing more that can be done till the Board of
Supervisors shall conclude as TO the extent
and character of illustrations and display at
that time.
Contracts have been entered into tor the
erection of the Exposition Hall and work
commenced. Several counties, cities and
towns are already preparing to arrange the
style and character Of the exhibits they will
in the same line will commence here, not
doubling that the Board of Supervisors will
plan and provide for setting the ball in
motion.
The county has made leading advance
ments on lines that have a wonderful in
1uence in procuring the introduction of
capital and population We refer to the
improvement of the road-ways and the
building of superior bridges over the
streams at fords where high water at any
time interferes with travel and wagon
transportation. If all our advantages by
maps, descriptive lists, and the exhibits of
the products of the farms, mines, and
forests, are grouped, our own people will be
astonished at the value and extent of such
adisplay.
Nor is the Gland and Immigration So
ciety of the Valley" idle in these busy days
of push and effort on all the lines of prog
ress. Judge Grattan is in the West for the
purpose of presenting the advantages Of
Augusta and the Valley counties, which
have united in that organization, to the
people who are coming, and who are con-
sidering the propriety of changing their
homes from that country to our own of
preferred climate and many other superior
advantages. The Exposition-if Augusta
be there in the representation of resources,
as it is proposed the county and city shall
be-will be the first demonstrative knowl-
edge many visitors will have of the coun-
ty, and what they will observe and learn
will induce hundreds to come here, and
make personal inspection, who otherwise
would know nothing, or but little, of US
and what we have for good and profitable
investment in locations for pleasant homes
in fruitful land with the highest social
advantages. Let us be astir, and the whole
community united in the effort through
timely action of the Board of Supervisors.

A Girl Baby Found Upon Mr.. K. Botsford's
Steps.
Babies, especially babies that people
do not seem to have any use for, have been
put upon the market rather numerously
lately, and, strange to say; they are all
girls. Why is this? Is it because the
poor little waits Just happen to be girls, or
are the boys more valuable than girls;
which? Well, the latest find was by Mr..
]. K. Botsford, yesterday morning., on the
steps of his residence, No. q Thirteenth
street. When he went to the front door
yesterday morning he discovered Q FIVE
cent chip basket and upon investigating
its contents, he found Q small girl baby,
that was not more than forty.eight
hours old, which some unnatural mother
had allowed to be placed there, to run the
risk of expiring either by exposure or in
attention.
The infant was warmly wrapped up,
however, and seemed alive and we'll. The
authorities were notified, and County
Commissioner Spisdel secured the services
of q lady 20 take care of the infant for the
present, until some disposition can be
made Of it.
