An Outrageous Scheme.

The "brilliant" Republican scheme
described by ex-Congressman MAYO
that of keeping private tally Of Re-
publican votes cast in the coming cleo
ton in Virginia, setting up a separate
and distinct government at Richmond,
and makinga contest before the courts
is thus commented upon by the Now
York Times:
"What they 1.-THE Republicans expect
TO accomplish by it is not very clear, as no
court is likely 10 recognize a private tally
and canvass of votes, with the infinite
chances of blunder and fraud, as against
the official returns made in accordance
with the election laws OF the State.
True. What could they expect to &c
complish by such an outrage ? At the
Same time the scheme, wild as it is,
shows the revolutionary character Of the
Republican party. 1t is of piece with
the proposition TO place the congress
sional elections at the South under the
control OF the ignorant negroes and the
vicious whites who train with them. 1t
Is another evidence of Republican des-
peration and of the encouragement Ma
HONE has received from the QUAY-DUD-
LEY-Adr1inistration combination. The
mere suggestion of such conspiracy is
bulldozing of the most fragrant sort.
That should not be lost sight of by our
speakers during the campaign.

Malone Accepts.

The Virginia Republican Convention
which met at Norfolk yesterday nomi-
mated WILLIAM MALONE for Governor,
and he accepted the nomination. The
automatic political machine set up by
the little boss fulfilled the designs of its
inventor and proprietor, and the result
will doubtless please such stockhold-
ers as QUAY, Blocks-of-flye DUDLEY,
and the Administration. In many re-
spocts it pleases us. WILLIAM MALONE
is the most vulnerable man in the Repub-
lican party in Virginia. He is utterly
INSCRIPTIONS. There is no depth of
political turpitude 10 which he will not
descend; no heighth Of political
scheming TO which he will not ascend.
He has proved himself political trim
mer in the fullest sense OF that term,
and at every point his record IL
open to tho attack Of the Demo
cratic speakers. Yet it is not
logical sequence that the Democracy will
have @ walk.over MALONE accepted the
nomination for the reason that he be-
lievod that by so doing he could best
impress the Administration with his
power and influence. He will have the
doodle" Of the South-haters, and the
Administration to back him. BE has
taken big contract and he will make
a desperate fight TO fulfil it. 1t
is neck or nothing with him this
time, and in CHANGING being sac
1ifccd himself, instead of depu'ing
q probable victim, he displays q conf
dencc that cannot be lightly passed over.
He is a splendid organizer, a daring
leader. and an accomplished political
trickster, and it goes without saying that
he looked far ahead before be bowed to
the will of the faithful.
The lesson to the Democrats embodied
in his acceptance can be briefly summa-
rized as follows: Organize, be yigilant,
force the fighting.

TERRA Alta. W. Va, August o.
The Observation-Disclosures committee
has finished reading the dispositions IN
ell the counties of the State but two.
These two are Mercer and Mcdowell,
and in them the Democrats expect to
make heavy gains Sixteen OF the coun-
ties read have not been acted on owing TO
the absence OF one or more members OF
the committee. The evidence IN these
counties shows state of affairs that
justifies every charge made by the
Democratic managers. Judge Fleming
will make sufficient gains in them to
give him clear plurality, and his gains
in Mercer and Mcdowell will only make
certain the justice OF his claim to the
gubernatOrial chair
In Sommers county the evidence
shows that negro voters were systemah-
cally colonized by Republican leaders.
They were imported from Virginia, en-
ployed on the railroad, and spirited out
Of the State again within a month after
the election. At least thirty Republican
votes in one precinct will be thrown out
on this ground alone.
Kanawha county presented a case OF
gross outrage. The law provides that
any candidate may demand'a recount OF
the ballots, to be conducted by the
County Court. Judge Fleming demand
ed a recount in Kanawha, and three Re-
publican judges conducted it. On this
recount he gained thirty-two votes, and
then the Republican court refused to
recognize the recount, alleging fraud,
although they had conducted 1t them
selves. The commission will be com
PEELED by law TO accept the result OF the
recount, and Judge Flcming's vote will
b. increased that much. In one pre-
cnct Of this same county 1t Is proven
that fifteen paupers and inmates OF the
county infrmary we're voted by the Re
publican manag, rs.
In other counties read but not acted
on Judge Fleming will gain about 10
votes. General Golf has now only an
apparent plurality Of ~. When the
counties up to Mercer and Mcdowell are
acted on the Democratic contestant will
lead by at least q hundred /; and the
gains confidently expected 10 those two
counties will give him handsome pIu-
rality. The commission will probably
complete It's labors by the end Of the
first week in September. The Legisla-
ture will then be called to meet imme-
diately, and by November LIST in all pro-
liability the fairly-elected Democratic
Governor will be seated in the guberna-
torial chair.

Rannhllcan TIvpocrsy.

The flaming way in which the north
ern Republican papers have bruitcd the
Atlanta post-oilice incident is in striking
contrast with the manner in which they
suppress or gingerly refer to any incl
dent showing the existence OF race pre-
JUDGE at the North. When the Ohio
public-school troubles occurred such
Republican papers OF that State
as mentioned them at all did so
in most subdued way and
as q rule Republican papers outside of
the State utterly ignored the matter.
Republican sympathy for the negro
seemed suddenly TO go down below zero.
AS regards the Atlanta affair the Ohio
Republican papers are of course espe-
cially blatant and outrageous in their
comments, fact which has caused some
OF our Democratic contemporaries in
Ohio 10 grow reminiscent. The Toledo
Blade is one OF these, and ii exposes the
hypocrisy Of Buckeye negro-loyers by

Street Obstruction.

Tho people of Richmond arc patient
and long suffering under Inconvenience,
not to say impositions, that would not
he tolerated in any other city in which
a spirit OF progress prevails. Where is
there another city OF the size OF Rich
mond, and of Richmond's reputation
for push, in which the methods of work
that obtain here in street-paying, re-
paving, &c, would be submitted to?
In this matter We are certainly be-
hind the age. 1t seems 20 be
the rule rather than the excep-
ton for the pick-axe force to keep
in their work two or three days, some
times a week, ahead of the PAYERS, thus
presenting to the gaze OF the visitor to
the city long and unsightly stretches OF
dcbris, interfering with locomotion and
traffic, and frequently endangering the
limbs of citizens and their horses. This
is all wrong. and the sooner remedy Is
applied the better. The proper muni-
cipal authorities should take the matter
in band at once. II these will do their
part the contractors will not be found
far behind them. Our contractors and
our workmen OF all kinds ore ae ener-
geiic and as fertile in expedients as arc
those OF any other place, but they are
not 10 be blamed for doing things in the
old way, and tho way which Is perhaps
at present most convenient 10 them if no
objection is made. III it was required in
the matter Of paving, repaying, &c., that
the PAYERS keep close upon the heels of
those engaged in tearing up the streets
means oil SO doing would be readily
found. In referring to this subject we
have no disposition to censure either the
municipal authorities or the contractors.
We write in the interest of progress
That the evil has grown and become
fastened upon us is due more to the
neglect of the people to protest against
it than to fault on the part of the au-
thorities and the contractors. But the
evil has now become almost unbearable.
II can be remedied if contractors are
made under penalty to complete given
piece of work within specified time.
The time allowed should be the mini
mum, as should also be the space
torn up at any one time. II it is
all important for railroad company in
changing its gauge or grade to DO the
work in ono night it is equally impor-
tant that business thoroughfare be not
blockaded in daylight. Our streets
should be as unobstructed at oil hours as
railroads are compelled 10 be.

a Vision of Memory.

MALONE appeared IN humorous roll
yesterday. In bis address at the open
ing of his convention he made "sharp
attack upon what he termed the sun
fair methods OF the Democratic party at
the polls" He "held his address, which
was in proof-sIips, in his hands, referring
to it occasionally to refresh bis memory. "
Memory is a very curious thing. Some
how along the corridors Of memory
comes sweeping diaphanous vision
which suggests the question Are the
prooi-sheets in MAHoNE's political job
office taken on tissue paper?
