shops and counting-rooms; we attend to
business at our Offices we laugh and talk
one with another: and wa intend to vote
the Democratic ticket when elocton-day
comes. But we put from us the picture /
which we must know would follow the |
election of MALONE and MALONE Legisla- !
ture We turn away from the contempla- !
ton If such a calamity, disliking to have
our condition of happiness and content
meni disturbed 10y the nightmare rehec-
tions that are conjured up when we con-
cedc the possibility OF MAHoNRs success.
But bc sure. We property-holders Of Viz
ginia. that you cannot escape the Ills OF
yonr environment. II by criminal negli-
gence. OF criminal st.ngincss, or criminal
apathy, or criminal carclcssness, or crimi-
nal incredulity. you allow your state 10
pass ont Of your hands you will certainly
have 90 pay the price of your folly.
You don't think that MALONE can be an
enemy of his own racer Why. then. does
he bring 10 Virginia none but bitter
enemies Of her people? MALONE and the
southern Republican congressman could
easily pat "a stop 70 the waving of the
hoody-.hirt by fle northern Republicans
II is for them 10 speak the word and their
request would Doe complied with. Even the
malignant d0ublo-faced BrRHows, who
in the House OF Representatives at Wash
iur'on said 81 the southern people that
"wroacs the most cruel. os,racism the
most malignant. crimes the most revolving,
sp,racies the most monstrous, prosecutions
the most relentless. riots the most bloody.
and murder the most foul characterized
the era ~ southern repentance and return
ing loyalty. even the apthor of that
specimen of AAHoNE's ally's vi'upera-
tions. even that later Of rebels and
"rebelion." knuckles down TO MALONE IN
lis Virginia speeches and lauds him as a
great Confederate soldier. The war upon
the south and her rights and interests is
carried on exclusively 10y the allies of VII
LIAM MAHoSE. Not one Democrat in a hun
dred ia the North is ever charged with say
ing. or j. expected % say, anything harsh Of
his southern brethren.
Only yesterday we read IN a Washington
letter that Mr.. EDNUNps had already ar-
rived in that city and would soon prepare
q bill TO regulate elections IN the southern
States. He SAYS that the "cvil " would
have been corrected long ago but for the
different political complexion of the two
branches of Congress. but THAI now, as
both branches are Republican, there Will
be no excuse for it's remaining uncorrectcd
any longer Mr.. EDMUNDs conicsscs the
truth. SO long "a there was a Democratic
House OF Representatives the southern
people were safe and free. They were sure
Of being allowed TO conduct their own at
fairs in their own way. They knew that
none would or could modest them or make
them afraid But now how different. Ne
gro insolence runs riot in contemplating
the prospect of Republican rule in Wash
ington to be- followed by negro rule in the
southern States. How can any southern
man vote with the MALONE party?
One Of the greatest political crimes that
ever were committed since the world be-
gan was committed by Trad. STEVENS,
Beast BUTLER, john SHERMAN, and the rest
of the fendish crew OF Republicans who
degraded and dsgraced the white race and

select negroes for their orators. The ora
tors will next year be introduced to distin-
guished men attending the commencement
exercises. How long before they will be
introduced to the ladies there?
Will not MALONE rule be negro rule
Why not ? Two thirds of his supporters
are negroes. We suppose We might say
that nine tonths of ms supporters in Rich
mOnd are negroes. IN some counties there
are not whites enough Ito officer the ne
groes." What do they expect at MAHoNE's
hands? They expect 10 take the places of
the white Democratic letter-carriers in
Richmond, Petersburg, Norfolk, and
wherever there are such carriers. They
expect TO be made policemen. They ex-
pect 10 be appointed trustees of the public
schools of Richmond, white and black.
They expect to sit in the Theatre amongst
the white people at the public exercises of
those schools. They are not clamorous
now, because they are told by MALONE and
his henchmen that they must bide their
time; that they must wait with patience
until the white people are " educated" up
20 this point. The electors will elect men
representatives, themselves. 1t is useless
for us 10 cling TO the delusion that negroes
are going to continue long TO elect white
officers.
Wake up. We solid men of Richmond.
Arouse yourselves. Don't shut your eyes
TO the ruin which will overtake you if you
permit MALONE and his sable henchmen to
gain the victory which win certainly be
yours if you will only reach out your
hands and grasp it. DO not be like the
man with the muck-rake.
