The fredericksburg tolored Revolt
Against Malone.


Against Malone.
FREDERICKSBURG. Va. September
%. Especial Correspondence "A meet
ing, composed chiefly of leading colored
Republicans, was held here last night to
organize a club pledged TO oppose the
election of the State ticket headed by
General Malone. About thirty voters
were present, the club was organized.
and the following resolutions adopted
without a dissenting voice:
Whereas. the Republicans (sO-calledl
# Virginia have nominated State
ticket. which we regard as inimical to
the best interests of the National Re-
publican party, and which i. headed by
General William Malone, who has
demonstrated his opposition to the civil
aud political rights of the negro, and
who by ms traItorous and corrupt bar
gain with the opposition. defeated the
Hon. John VI. LaDgston for Congress in
the Fourth Congressional district and
lost the State TO our National ticket;
ResOlred That we. while declaring
our fealty 10 the Republican party and
its principles now and hereafter. deem
il our duty 10 oppose, by all honorable
means, the ticket headed by General
Malone as well as the nominees Of the
party controlled by him for the Legs
lature.
Resoired, That we pledge ourselves to
support all candidates of the Republi-
can party. when such candidates are the
choice of the people who represent
Alright the principles of the party to
which We acknowledge allegiance and
by which we propose to stand as long
as we are freemen.
Resolved, That 1t is the duty of all
true Republicans to oppose the nomi-
nees Of the so-called Republican party
headed by Malone. and that we will do
all in our power to secure their defeat.
aud 10 show TO the world that we are
Republicans from principle and will not
be controlled by men, who while
openly violating Republican principles
would bind us to Mahoneism. which
we, as freemen and cituens of free
country, denounce and repudiate.
Resolred, that the papers Of this city
be requested to publish these resolutions
aud we cordially invite the co-opera.
tion of all good and true Republicans
in this effort to rid our party OF the in
toleratle nuisance of Mahoneism.
A singular coincidence in connection
with this meeting may be mentioned.
Nine years ago the prominent colored
leader of tho present revolt. introduced
in Republican meeting then held
resolution, which he claims was pre-
pared at the instance OF General Ma.

THE Republican census report Is good,
especially where the report goes for the
education Of the Southern negro. We
believe that Mr.. Porter, who is Super
intendent Of the Census, is an honest
man and will not permit the issuing of
such orders for his ncn'partisan work.
Even il he does not, /, is likely that the
negroes will organize as far as possible

enumeration.

One On the Rabbit.

At Calera, Ala, as dozen of us were
waiting for the train, two colored men
began talking in loud tones, and one of
them finally exclaimed:
You is dun wrong, an I'll bet seven
cents you isl
"Izc dun right an I'll kiver de bet!" re-
piled the other.
The money was put up and then the
men approached the colonel and ex-
planned:
"kunnel. dis ar bet on how fur a
rabbit kin so in week. say fo' hun
dred miles. Dis yere pusson says three
hundred miles. Kin you teh?'
"Why, no. How could any ono decide

The Ideal America.

1t seems to us that there is much which
is arbitrary in the ascription of this or
that quality or function to this or that
nation. 1t is like dividing the mind into
faculties: the imaginative faculty, the
reflective faculty, the critical faculty; as
if either of these were something that
could act alone.
No one has had greater influence in
forming the citizens of this republic to
their faith in themselves and in one an
other than Jefferson; yet Mr.. Bryce in
his new book says that Jefferson was one
with Rousseau in supposing a natural
elevation in average human nature and
trusting to it.
As Rousseau was the first one, he was
probably the one, and through his foster
son was the father of American democ-
racy, of that in us which more distinct
lively than anything else we can call
Americanism-our faith in humanity,
our love of equality.
One cannot claim that Americans of
English origin are alone the depositaries
of this belief, this passion; and we rather
doubt if either would perish though all
Americans of English stock perished.
The ideal America, which is the only
real America, is not in the keeping of
any one race; her destinies are too large
for that custody; the English race is only
one OF many races with which her future
rests. w. D. Howells in Harper's Mag,
azinn

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition Of the Surplus in the
U. s. Treasury engages the attention Of
our Statesmen, but more vital ques-
ton has our attention, and that is the
reduction of surplus ConsumPtives.
Since the discovery and introduction of
DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, there has been marked de-
crease in the mortality from this dread
ed disease, and it is possible to still fur
ther reduce the number of Consump-
tives. How? By keeping constantly at
hand bottle of DIR. Kings New Dis
eovery and using according to direc-
tiOns, upon the appearance of the first
symptoms, such as Cough, Cold, q
Sore Throat Chest, or Side Pain. Ia
ken thus early a cure is guaranteed.
