STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

Capt. Mckinney, the democratic nominee
for Governor, completes his tour in the
Southwest next Thursday.
The result OF Saturdays registration all
over the State is highly encouraging to the
democratic. They have made large gains
in nearly all the sections from which re
ports have been received.
The democrats of King William county
had grand old fashioned barbecue at Cen
treville on Saturday. Governor Lee attend
ed as the guest of democratic club, and
made rousing speech on the subject Of
democracy and white supremacy.
1t has been brought to the attention ofthe
civil service commission that the Old Do.
minion Republican League of the District
of Columbia has had mailed or delivered to
PERSONS In the public service in the depart
ments at Washington circulars requesting
contributions for political purposes in Vir-
ginia.
Two democratic judges OF election IN AS
pinwall district, Charlotte county, were ar.
rested on Saturday by special deputies Of
the United States Marshal for that district
each on bogus charges of fraud at the last
presidential election and carried to Lynch
burg, where after partial hearing the case
was continued till to day. The arrest caused
great indignation in that section. A special
from Keysville, in Charlotte county, says 1t
has been known for some time that one OF
Mahone's schemes was to buy up the Judges
as far as possible, and it seems that, failing
In this he is to proceed to the wholesale ar
rest of the judges, and the first instalment oil
them were carried from Aspinweli to Lynch
burg Saturday morning.

to Baltimore, was wrecked and five OF her
crew drowued. Five men we're lost from
the schooner a. E. Backmen, and ell but
one of the crew of the wrecked schooner

men dashed in the rigging for three days and
nights persisted They dropped off one by

SPEAKING OF the Virginia election, the
New York Sun says that 'if ever band of
democrats deserved to carry their State
election, they are those of Virginia-the
present representatives and the slaunchest
believers in the Jefersonian system among
all the States" The Sun then adds. 1.-THE
Impoverished democratic national committee
cannot give them any help, and, on the
other hand, it looks as though the entire at
tention of the administration had been con-
centrated upon the effort to help Malone
carry his election. The situation is cacula'
ted to some ways to try even the party SEN
timent of Virginia. But that is as certain
TO meet the test successfully as it has met
all those in the past"

ONE OF THE latest circular letters sent
out by General Malone to his collecting
agents, says the appeal it makes for contri-
buttons to mis- election fund need not be pre-.
sented to federal Office holders, as other
arrangements have been made for reaching
them. And yet there Is certain law,
termed the civil service law, which, if exc.
cuted would, prohibit federal office holders
from either subscribing to or collecting
funds for election purposes. But that law
has long since become grotesque fraud.

THE OFFICIAL sanction given to the
"order of deaconesses" by the late P. E.
General Convention has been only obtained
after struggle of nearly a quarter of a
century. The deaconess must be unmarried
aud at least twenty five years of age, and
is to assist the minister in the care OF the
poor and sick, the religious training of the
youth, and 10 the work of moral reform.
She has to be "set apart" for the Office by
appropriate religious services. Like civil
service rules, the age clause is give away,

GEN. MALONE may as we'll deny that he
has, during the present campaign, issued ten
dollar certificates of subscription to his cam
paign fluid, deliberately intended to deceive
the ignorant purchasers thereof with the
promise that the possession of such certif-
Gates will entitle their applications for office
to favorable consideration, as to deny that
in the Hinton campaign in the Petersburg
district he used tissue ballots. The circular
letters directing tho use of the certificates
are signed by General Mahone's private Sec
rotary those directing the use of the tissue
ballots were also signed by the Generals
secretary at that time. But the fact that
the General did use such ballots was never
before denied.

1T SEEMS that General Malone ia not only
boss of the republican party Of Virginia and
of the federal executive power in the State,
but of the national judicial power thereof
also. He has just had three judges of cleo
tion arrested in Charlotte county and car
ried ali the way TO Lynchburg, though there
was q. S. Commissioner at their own doors,
on a charge of official misconduct at an
election held one year ago. In the improba-
BILE event of the Generals election, his arbi.
trary proceedings would exceed any thing
ever dreamed of by the carpetbag and
scalawag governors of other southern States
during the reconstruction period. The
gross outrage referred to should induce
every right thinking citizen of the State to
redouble his efforts to defeat the man who
resorts to such high handed measures in
order to intinlidate the white voters of Vir.

tiary ard fne of $1,000. The civil service
commission has determined to prosecute Mr..

der the provisions referred to, and as Mr..
Elan is q federal Office holder, as hia name
is appended to circular issued by com.
tee and sent to other federal Office holders
asking contributions to Gen. Mehone's CAM
paign fund, as contributions to that fund
were made to that committee, and as MIR.
Elan has never denied his membership of

highly probable that, under the present ad-
ministration, if he were democrat. and If
the money he solicited and collected had
been added to democratic election fund,

A Richmond publishing firm had an
agent in Waynesboro last week, taking

Our farmers are busy gathering their
corn. The crop is large one and of
excellent quality. The most pressing
demand seems to be for hands. The
season is too far advanced for any great
influx of laborers this fall; but if the
situation continues to develop as favor
ably in the next few months as in the
past. large number of hands will be
required in this section in the spring.
Our farmers will do well to make their
engagements early.
Though material development has
only begun, the price of labor has ad-
vanced. Until this season corn was cut
up for rs cents per acre: one dollar was
paid this season.
Our enterprising neighbor, Mr.. Geo.
A. Conner, proprietor of Central Point
nurseries, is erecting a nice and comfor-
table dwelling. He is selling large bills
of trees all through this section. Messrs.
Antrim and Templeton are each prepar-
ing to set out large orchards. Hundreds
of barrels of apples have been shipped
from South River this season. and when
the young orchards come into bearing
that have been set out during the past
two or three years, the apple crop will
be enormous.
A centrally located cider mill-like
Motifs, of Maryland-couldh have done a
lucrative business this season, hundreds
of bushels of apples having rotted on

Some Northern gentlemen are in the
naighborhood cutting hickory and
whiteoak. This lumber will go North
and be returned in the shape of buggy
and wagon wheels. Why not use it here
for such purposes. THOMAS.

Lieutenant Colonel Henry Herndon. of
the First Michigan Cavalry. and CAPTAIN
Joseph A. Woman, of the First Ohio
Cavalry. 1t was not until three wears
later, i'll 1868, that Congress appropria
ted the reward offered in the Presidents
proclamation. Meanwhile claimants by
the score had filed their applications.
scarcely a fraction of whom had the re-
hottest connection with the capture.
1t required vigilant work on the part of
the Third Auditors office to sift IL e
worthy from the unworthy, but this was
successfully done in time. The list was
found to be slightly in excess of the $50
persons, divided as follows: Fourth
Michigan Cavalry, 1873; First Wisconsin
Cavalry, II; First Ohio Cavalry, 10 to-
gether with few additional names adj
ded by the Secretary of War.
TO General Wilson and his three sub
ordinates the sum of $4,000 each was
paid. The captains received 81 ,a91. the
lieutenants 1878, the highest non com
missioned officers received $4O2 and the
privates 1898. The majority of the
claims were paid almost as soon as the
was ready. Since then
the individual claims have been filed
from time to time. until but five more
remain unpaid. This number was re-
duced to four yesterday by the payment
to Mr.. Levenier.
The latter explained his delay in call
ing for his share of the reward by say
ing that until recently he had no knowI-
edge that he was entitled to any. The
names of the remaining four beneficial
ries are carried on the rolls of the Third
Auditors Office.
