must admit that the Generals open
ing speech at Abingdon was tall
ure 90 far rs catching voters was
concerned.
Rumors Of oyster troubles on
the Potomac are ahOat again, as
they always are about the opening
OF the season. Ifthe laws are not
more vigorously enforced the oy'
ster, like the fish trade, will dwind'
lie away TO nothing, and what

The election IN France last sun
day was a very spirited and im-

speaking in behalf OF the ticket the
other day be was far from warm IN
10 praise of Malone.
Malone is flooding the State
with eirculsrs telhnghis colorde
cohorts what they are to do, or, as
the Yankee who writes his circular
phrases it, what they "wanT TO
do. He offers each negro who
shall hunt up voters and have
them registered seventy five cents
a day and FIVE cents for each voter
registered, and is wiling to pay
three negroes at SINGLE voting

time said all the de BIT dxcept two
cents should be paid. aud soon
after. that only 100000 of il

Another woman, Mary Glinn, o
Pittsburg, Pa, following the law OF
suggestion, rather than needing
the warning of one execution an'
one death sentence, determined
on the possession of certain insur
ance policies. She is now under

Malone tries TO cover up hi
tracks by asking for the names o
white preachers as we'll as black
But of course he viii not trouble
t1e white preachers much.
