What the Contest is For.

What, asks the Norfolk Landmark, are
the Democrats of Virginia struggling for in
this contests? They are determined to re-
tain control of the State Government; to
keep it in the hands of safe and honorable
men, that the conditions most favorable to
life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
may prevail in the Commonwealth.
What is Malone seeking in his effort to
wrest the Government from its present con-
troll? He is seeking spoils, pure and SIM
pie.
What will be the effect of Democratic
success and the election of Mckinney with
General Assembly in accord with hlm3
The effect will be to render safe and stable
all our material interests; to give cont1d-
ence to capital already invested, and prom
Use to that which is looking toward the
State. 1t will give assurance that those
who are most interested in the business and
social integrity of Virginia are able to and
mean to manage their own affairs. 1t Will
establish home rule and give us State OHIO
and whose conscience have never been COR
rupted by dissolute politics; whose political
faith is the same now that it was before the
war; whose hands are as faithful to theii
State and their country now as when they
held sabre and musket in the day of battle
who have never been this or that for reven
ne; who have never looked upon the old
Commonwealth with the eye Of highway
man.
What will be the effect of Mahone's cleo
ton with General Assembly of his politi'
cal militia, drilled to obey every order he
givesP The effect will be, as every man
knows who has any knowledge of affairs in
Virginia or the South, to unssttle the very
foundations of business, to disturb credit,
to discourage industry, to frighten labor
and demoralze society. 1t will be to make
those who are in the State feel like leaving,
and those who have joined US IN recent
years sorry they came. 1t will produce
that condition of unrest and anxiety which
suggests the inquiry: "What shall HAPPIER
to us now--what are those wreckers going
to do?"
The choice between Mckinney and Ma
hone is a choice between good and triee
friend and a bitter and revengeful enemy
One has every reason to serve us with higi
credit to himself, and to take care of thu
State, while the other was never actdated
so far as anybody knows, by any highe
motive than selfishness and gain.
Seeing this alternative so clearly, ever!
nerve must be strained and every possibl
effort put forth by our people to take car
of themselves. 1t is matter of selfpreser
walton Just as much as it is to defend you
house against burglar. When we know
that an attack is being made upon our pro
perty do we lie still aud depend upon other
to defend us? Do we take the chances of
friendly policeman coming our way? Nc
we get up and 60 about an effective resist
ance; and that is what we must do now
The prosperous future of Virginia depend
absolutely upon the defeat of Malone.

An Address to the Democratic Party of
Virginia.

To the Democratic Party of Virginia:
At the request of Hon. B. B. Gordon, re-
Gently appointed chairman Of the State
democratic committee (who is prevented by
sickness from entering upon the immediate
discharge of the duties of his positioD), l
have agreed to take temporary charge as
his substitute, and beg to announce the
fact to the party throughout the State, and
to give notice that the general Office has
been established in the city of Alexandria.
Capt Fl. Shepherd and W. W. Scott, esq.,,
have been associated as secretaries of the
committee, to whose care all communica-
tons can be addressed.
1t is respectfully urged that the demo-
cratic party in the cities and counties of
the Commonwealth proceed at once to per-
feet their organization, and to appoint,
where it has not been recently done, COM
mittees, both central and precinct, in their
respective localities, and to forward the
names of the officers so selected to the
headquarters at Alexandria. The import
ance of thorough organization cannot be
too strongly urged upon our friends
throughout the State, as On its efficiency
will largely depend the success of the demo-
cratic ticket at the November election.
1t is also suggested that the members of
the State central committee meet and con-
fer as soon as practicable in regard to the
party organization in their respective con-
! gressional districts, and take such steps
and make such recommendations as will
best promote harmony and success. and
will, to this end, communicate promptly
with the chief executive Office at Alexand
ria. 1t is further recommended as matter
of the highest moment that the most popu-
lar and efficient men be everywhere nomi-
mated as candidates for the General Assem-
bly,, and that all personal preferences and
private partialities be suborGinated to the
public welfare.
For reasons heretofore understood, joint
discussions are not recommended. At the
same time, however, every effort should be
made to enlighten public opinion and to
set out clearly before the people the politi-
cal issues involved in the canvass.
The candidates nominated for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General
by the democratic convention, are men OF
the highest ability and character, and in
every respect worthy of popular confidence
and support.
The republican party has nominated
Gen. Malone at the head of its ticket, and
it is understood all the power and resources
of the federal administration have been
pledged to it's support. The situation is
full of menace and peril to the State. In
such a crisis, Can Virginians hesitate to
choose?

Acting Chairman.

REPUBLICANS ON THE EASTERN SHORE.
The Washington correspondent of the
AleG. Gazette, under date of the It'll inst,
says -
"People from the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia here to day say that the more reputa-
BILE republicans of that section, like those
of the other part of the State, have come to
the conclusion that Mahoneism is not re-
publcanism, and think it better to avail
themselves of she opportunity to be afforded
at this falls election for retiring the Gen.
eral, so that he will DO out of the way at
the next Presidential election. DR.. Wise,
they say, one of the Generals most trusted
lieutenants until recently. has now de-
clared against him."

porting Malone and isn't at all modest
about etating what it is. His demand is

and support in corsummating fraud-that

A Great Railway Bridge.

The bridge across the Firth of Forth is
now approaching completion. Ii is built
on the cantilever principle, and as regards
size and weight the Philadelphia "Record"
says it is unapproached by any existing
bridges. There are two spans, each 1, 700
feet long; the width of the bridge at the
piers is 1870 feet; there is clear Roadway
for navigation at highwater of 150 feet; the
deepest foundation below high water is SO
feet; the highest part of the bridge above
high water is $50 feet, and the depth of
water in the center of the channel is 80
feet. With this depth the bridge could
never have been built had it not been for an
island in the middle of the Forth. The
train weight that will be put upon the
bridge will be small compared with the
wind pressure needed to he overcome, and
to resist wind the lofty columns over the
piers. are 1870 feet apart at the base and 35 at
the top. AS furnishing an idea of the enor-
nous force which the cantileyers are capa-
BILE of resisting, it may be said that a
pull of $4,000 tons would be needed to tear
asunder the top ties. The greatest pull
from passing trains can be only 1900 tons.
The bridge is looked upon as a railroad ne
cessity. Indeed it will furnish the missing
link in a great chain of communication
throughout the United Kingdom.

Der shat, under his first regime, he treated
the country to the seandalous spectacle of
opening a spoits shop at the capital of the
Commonwealth, from which he dispensed
patronage to his party manials as master
would distribute rations to his slaves. They
remember that he put such poor estimate
upon the good faith and integrity of the
men he had caused to be elected to the
General Assembly that he required them to
sign written pledge to vote under duress
and dictation. They remember that, under
his administration Of State affairs, corrup-
ton was so rampant that two of his chief
officials fought in the streets Of Richmond
over charge of bribery made by one
against the other. They remember that it
was at his instigation that the negro lackey
of his executive was appointed to superin-
tend and pass Upon the action of the white
teachers in the Richmond schools. They
remember that it was Malone who de-
stroyed public confidence in the integrity
of the State Judiciary by appointing men as
Judges of the courts who in many instan-

He Makes 1t Public IN the East-Franks'
Testimony.
WASHINGTON. September 5th.-Attornev-
General Miller to-day made public his let
ter of instructions relative to the protection
to be given Justice Field, which was placed
in evidence in the Courts in California YES
terday. This he does so that the East can
be as fully informed of his reasons as the
Pacific coast has been. The report of the
District Attorney as to the incidents of the
killing of Terry fully confirms the report
that Justice Field was struck twice. 1t
states that Terry first struck Field in the
face with one hand and then with the other.
He then put his hand to his side or behind
him as If to draw knife or some other
deadly weapon. Then il was that Deputy
Marshal Nagle killed him. The report
fully approves Nagle's action.
Marshal Franks, in reply to the Depart
ment under date of August 21st, saws that
IN obedience TO instructions he had con-
stantly exercised the utmost caution for the
protection of Justice Field and Judge Saw
yer from violence by d. S. Terry and wife.
Ot the assault in the dining-Toom at La
throp, Marshal Franks says that Terry
struck Justice Field twice before DEPUTY
Marshal Nagle interfered. He continues:
Terry was man OF very large PHYSIQUE
and strength. His passions were appar-
emily beyond his own control, and he was
most ready with the knife, weapon which
he himself declared he had habitually car
ried for thirty years. Nagle is a man of
slight build, and he well knew Terry's vio-
lent character and skill with weapons.
When he saw good reason to believe that
Terry, so far from being deferred by his
Official warning 10 stop was desperately
determined to take the life of Justice Field
and his (Nagle's) own life, Nagle prevented

conversant with the facts will pretend he
