Opposed to Malone.


CHARLESTON W. VA, September 6, 1Ss9.-Win

Republican to declare in the most unequivocal
terms his undying hostility to the recent afro
cious attempt made by outsiders to patch up
truce between the Republicans of Virginia and
the Caligula of modern politics. the sequel of

C'amidst great enthusiasm ~ be buried beyond
the reach of the political resurrectionists.
If this was contest between Republicanism
and Democracy, then my path would be plain
and my very heart and soul would cry aloud for
the ascendancy of the principles which believe
to be right; but as it is, the contamination of
that much to be desired result can only be
brought about by the defeat and utter annihila-

Mahoneism Doomed.

If any one doubts the political earth
quake that is yawning to engulf and over
whelm MahoneisIn, in November, let
him read the outgivings of some of the
leading Republicans of the State, pub
lished in this issue of the VIRGINIAN.-
They are only reflections of the deep
feeling that pervades the masses of the
Republican party, and which will find
expression either in an adverse ballot to
the little Boss, Or in silent manifesta-
ton of rebuke for his despotic methods.
The conditions and the times are pro-
pitious for free declaration of the re
sentiment by the Republican voters of
Virginia of the tyranny and the treach-
cry of Mahoneism. They have borne,
with astonishing patience. his insolence
his aggression upon their rights-his
reckless purpose to rule or ruin, and have
determined to settle accounts with him
once and for all time. The deep under
current of outraged feeling that per
vades the great mass of the Republican
voters finds voice in the bold. brave ut
terances to which we give medium to-
day, and which will be given a more
forceful method of expression on the 9Th
of November. The verdict then will in
form the world that the Republicans of
Virg n a have ceased to be the abiect
sllves of Mahoneism-that their man
hood has been stirred: their self respect
aroused, and that the incubus of Ma
honeism has been thrown off now and
forever.

A Card.

Editors Of the Valley Virginidn:-Dear Sir: My
attention has just been called to communica-
ton in your paper of the 18th ulto., over the
signature of Terry, complaining that some pen
sions have been paid whilst others have not and
insinuating that l have Disseminated against
these latter for political reasons. This insinua-
ton is unworthy of notice. The 18th section of
the pension act provides as follows, to-w,t:-
1.-THE sum of sixty-five thousand dollars, or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby ap-
propriated for the year ending September 30,
1888, and for each year thereafter, to meet the
requirements of the act.''
The Legislature thought this sum CS65, 000
would be ample to pay all the pensions, but so
many have been enrolled that it runs far short
OF course can only use S6s 600 per annum, the
amount appropriated by the act. The pension
ers are paid i'll the order in which their applica-
tions were received, and those who are not
reached before the appropriation for this year is
exhausted will be paid out of the appropriation
for next fiscal year, beginning October lst as
soon after that date as the warrants can be
made out and forwarded

What a Colored Republican Has to
Saw of His Brother LangstOn

LYNCHBURG, VA, Oct. IL, 1882
Editor Advance: Will you kindly permit me to
say word concerning the position of Prof.
Langston, the defeated candidate for Congress
in the Fourth district of Virginia? Mr.. Lang
ston declares in his Fifth Avenue hotel inter
view, in New York, in reply to an inquiry: $50
you see the colored voters are not all for Mahone
but will do as do" Now, sir, feel constrain-
ed to take issue with Mr.. Langston on this point
We recognize Mr.. Langston leader among
the colored voters of Virginia so long as his
course is a consistent one in endeavOring to
right the great wrong that was perpetrated on
him and on us by William Malone We recog-
nize and appreciate his great abilities, and have
endeavored to show our acknowledgment OF
them by creating healthy public sentiment all
over Virginia in his behalf, in order that the
people in the Fourth district would honor him
by sending him to Congress, when he threw
himself upon their mercy after having been
maltreated by Malone. But I cannot consent
to the assertion that our support of Malone is
contingent upon settlement to be had between
Malone and Langston, whereby Mr.. Langston
shall take his seat in Congress whether elect
ed or not. My opinion is that Langston was
defeated through the treachery of William Ma
hone and not upon the commission of frauds
chargeable to the democratic party, and if this
theory is correct Mr.. Venable was honestly elect
ed. Nor can the President his cabinet, and all
ct lers called upon by Mr. Langston, agree public
~ as he demands-nOr privately, if they are hon
est-to unseat an honestly elected Congressman
to seat one who was slaughtered in the house of
his friends and through the treachery Of his
friends.
I believe that Mr.. Langston's proper course
for redress would be.-not through question
able bargain with Malone to secure his seat i'll
Congress-butb by continued strong opposition
to Malone and Mahoneism in Virginia in order
that he may help to remove the prime cause of
his misfortunes and our discomfort. If he does
this he can then say, and say rightly, that he is
the leader of the colored people of Virginia, but
unless he does this, he will find that though he
goes to Malone to advance his own personal in
t rest he will have, much to his own regret left
his influence behind him. for one will certain
ly not follow him to Mahone and 1 am not
alone Respectfully,
j. Fl. MERCHANT.

A Desperate Device.

Below will be found the form of a cir
cular letter sent out by Malone, osten-
siblv to learn the names of ministers and
their postoffice address, of both white
and colored But he has no use for anv
but colored, and we think by the time
he gets through with them, he will come
to the conclusion that he can not use
them, for the good and sufficient reason
that they have no use for him.
PETERSBURG, VA, 2S Aug. 1880
SIR Please send me the names OF the Pas
tors of the different churches of your county
their poStoffice addresses and state whether
white or colored in each case.
Yours truly,
VIM MALONE
This might have been looked upon
with federation eight or ten years ago, at
time when the colored people did not
understand the situation and the nature
of the man, as well as they do now. But,
now, if we mistake not. every nine out
of ten of the colored ministers will con
slider an approach of this kind an in
suit, as will the more intelligent and sa-
gacious of the colored lay members. We
are sure if the names of the colored min
listers of Staunton were sent to Malone
and he should seek to enveigle them
into his conspiracy to ruin the Repub-
lican party, or to carry out any of his
insiduous, selfish schemes, he would get
a response that he would not soon for
get. Not only have the ministers a
proper conception of their sacred call
ing and their duty to their God and
their people, but the more intelligent of
the membership would not tolerate for
an instant the prostitution of the office
of religious instructor to any such de
basing influences as Malone would in
woke. They are infinitely above Ma
hone in this respect, and would admin
lister beftting rebuke to him if adj
dressed on the subject.
This circular letter reveals the desper-
ate straits in which Malone finds him
self Realizing that defeat, overwhelm-
ing and disastrous, stares him in the
face, he is expanding every effort and
resorting to every device, however re-
voting to the moral sense of the people,
to coax, buy or drive Republican vo
tiers to his support. His last despicable
resort is to influence the colored minis
tiers to drag the holy surplice into the
mire of his kind of politics, and to dis
grace their high calling by becoming his
willing tools to enslave the people OF
the State to his despotic rule, and pros
trate Virginia at his feet.
We mistake the character of the col
ored ministers of this Commonwealth
and that of all respectable men of thai
race, if they do not resent this brazer
insult and do it in such way and will
such force that it will never again bt

A Deluded Saint.

Brother Shepperd, of the New York
Mail and EGpress, has drawn himself
away from the contemplation of scrip
tural matters and Sunday School litera-
ture long enough to cast a furtive glance
at Virginia politics. Taking the recent
card of Prof. Langston as a text, our
brother assumes that all is lovely and Sc
rene among Republicans in this State,
and therefore indites the following para
graph:
The other Democratic reports regarding Rep
ublican disaffection toward the head of the
ticket in Virginia, are as false as those which
declared Prof LangSton diSlOyal to his party.
The Republicans OF the Old Dominion have not
been so strong, united and enthusiastic for years
as they are this fall The BOurbonS know this,
and they know that defeat StareS them in the
face. Hence their vain and desperate efforts
to sow dissensions in the ranks of their adyef-
Saries. This characteristic Democratic dodge
will fail to work.
Our pious brother has evidently mis-
calculated Prof Langston's intention, if
Langston's own subsequent statement is
to be taken as indicating his views His
letter was merely feeler, and not get
ting the assurance of the support he
claimed would be given in his contest
for seat in Congress, he somewhat
weakens in his purpose, and leaves the
whole matter in doubt.
But be this as it may, we are sure our
pious broth er has gotten somewhat
mixed as to the feeling among Republi-
cans in Virginia. We send him a copy
of this issue of the VIRGINIAN SO that
he can read for himself what some of
the leading and most influential Repub
licans say. From it he will observe that
Mahoneism is not in as healthy condition
as he thinks, and that he has as much
chance of being elected Governor as
Brother Shepperd has of mounting a fiery
meteor and flaming through the heavens
and will get about the same kind of
treatment that Know Nothingism did
in Virginia, in 1866. Had we another
Tribune of the People, such as Henry
A. Wise, to stir and thrill the people
against a more insiduous and audacious
conspiracy against Republican institu-
lions and the rights of the people than
Know Nothingism, Malone would be
buried under 100000 majority Of free,
mems ballots. AS it is, the verdict will
be sufficiently forceful to put an end to
Bossism, as reflected in Mahoneism, and
emancipate the Commonwealth from it's
malign influence.
Brother Shepperd will find that the
people of Virginia are not for SALE That
the State cannot be made pawn for
set of political gamblers, and that the
sharp management of Malone and Quay
will fail of it's object. Malone will be
overwhelmingly defeated and the whole
plot knocked into smit hereens.

Basic Stag as a Fertili ger.

The Pittsburg manufacturer of the
9th, contains the following paragraph,
relating to a matter that must soon
attract the attention of Virginia far
mers: Farmers in eastern Pennsyl-
vania have quite recently begun to use
a new fertilizer which is well-known
to European agriculture, but has never
gotten foothold in this country. 1t is
iron Stag, produced in the manufacture
of basic steel In this process, as is well
known, iron too rich in phosphorus to
be used in making Bessermer steel, is
dephosphorized, the phosphorus passing
into the bi-product, which is Stag. This
Stag is ground to dust and used as
manure, its phosphorus contents making
it valuable. The demand for it is now so
great in Germany, where basic steel is
principally made, that almost all the
Stag that is made is utilized for fertiliz-
ing purposes. In 1888 about $780, 900 tons
were ground up and sold. This fertilizer
is said to be cheaper and better than min
eral phosphates. A Pottstown, Pa,
company is the first to offer it for the
new purpose
The iron ores of the Valley, and es-
)ecially of the South River District, are
peculiarly adapted to the making of ba-
sic pig. Jacob Reese, of Pittsburg, who
has become thoroughly acquainted with
the basic process of making steel and
the uses of the bi-product. gave it as his
opinion several years ago, that there
vas no body of ores better suited for
making basic steel than the brown he
natites of the Blue Ridge range, and
that Waynesboro was the place for a
olant for that purpose. 1t requires
certain amount of phosphorus in the
)res for the basic mode, and after exam
nation he pronounced those of the foot
ILLS of the Blue Ridge admirably suited
or it. 1t is estimated that the bi-pro-
luct is equally as valuable as the iron
the ores and would be source of ma
jerial improvement to the lands and
profit of the farmer, when utilized as
tbove indicated is done in Germany, and
being introduced in Pennsylvania.

burg on Tuesday. In Main street boats
