DANIEL ON MAHoNE.-To close
the meeting came Senator Daniel,
WHO stripped Gen. Malone, holding
him up in six public characters, in
every one OF which, the Senator
said he had proved false, viz: IS a
Confederate soldier, when he voted
against removing comrades disa.
bllities as n railroad president, in
which he had wrecked the roads and
the States interest in them; as a
democratic leader, wien he sold out
TO Simon Cameron for doodle :
as readjuster, when he did not raise
a finger against federal violence as
friend OF the workingman, when he
employed scrub printers on the Rich
mond Wing and imported English
engineers TO run Virginia railro ads
and COW as a republican, when he il
trying to fool the old-issue republi-
cans. Senator Daniel said there il
no republicaoism IN IL. The essence
oil the contest is Mahoneism, and he

the stage TO keep tho people from
seeing What Is going on in the green
room behind. No tariff is involved
in this State contest, and they have
no State Issues, except Malone, who
wants TO be Governor, but woa'I

ALEX ANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER IA.

EVERY BODY familiar with the writings OF
Mr.. Jefferson knows that when experience
had lent that sage its wisdom he was an ad'
vocate of the whisky tax. But, it makes no
difference whether he was or not. Times
have changed since Mr.. Jefferson filed his
part in his country's history, and men with
them. The conditions of now and then are
altogether different There is no sense In
searching the past for proof of the patent
needs of the present. No sane and disinter-
ested man can deny that OF all commodities
whisky is the one that can best afford TO
bear taxation. as the payment of such tax
is not compulsory, but entirely volunta
nv, no man being compelled to pay 1t unless
he chooses to do so. The whisky tax there
fore, being the least burdensome of all Others
is the best revenue measure that can be
adopted. That it is highly moral measure
ss equally undepiable. The tax on the nec-
essaries o! life, on the contrary, is the hard
est that can be imposed, for it falls heaviest
on those who Can lesst afford 10 bear ii; and
the increase straits caused by the Increased
price of those necessaries, human nature
teaches are not conducive to the improve
ment of morals.

EX-SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER in his anti
Malone speech at Woodstock said: 1.-The
Norfolk convention was not held in the
white section of the State because the negro
delegates could Pot get board there, SO the
white delegates bad to go where the negroes
could be Accommodated. My friende, draw
the line between white and black. II must
be drawn some where, and l draw 1t right
there" Mr.. Rtddleberger doesn't dislike
negroes. No other southern man does. The
best friend the negro has is his southern
white neighbor, and that he knows this is
proved by the fact that he always goes to
him for help in time of need. But, for eli
this the southern white mans nature
makes him fee, and his experience
makes him know, that it is better for both
races that there should not be equality be
tween them, for that condition would mean
negro supremacy In those communities in
which the negroes outnumber the whites /;
and the recent history of South Carolina
proves that such supremacy would In few
yeas bring ruin and destruction upon every
moral as we'll as material interest Of such
con munities.

THE Talley Virgiaian. republican, says;
Malone, a candidate for Governor, repre-
sents Mshoneism and nothing else; aud Ma
honeism will be showed underin November
next. by such majority as was never given
before in Virginia." Other wel-informed
republicans as we'll as democrats believe
that what the Tirgiaian says will prove
true. If what the republican ringsters say,
that the "mugwumps have got Harrison
be also true, the Virginia "kckers" will be
on top, for the only reason that induced the
President to support the General was the
latter's promise to carry Virginia, and If
that promise be not fulfilled there will be
no sense In giving him the remaining feder-
al patronage in the State.

Mr.. DAVIS SPEAKS FOR TIKI PRIVATE
SoLDIER.-A delegation of Mississippians
called on Hon. Jefferson Davis at his home
at Beauvoir Tuesday to invite him to attend
the meeting of the National Confederate
Veterans Association October 10 and IL at
Aberdeen. Mr.. Davis was found looking
remarkably we'll. Captain Sykes acted a.
spokesman for the delegation, stating the
object of the association to be the perpetual
ton in enduring force of correct history Of
the late war between the States and the
underlying causes thereof, and as MIR. Davis
bore the mai part in that struggle, the
committee and people wished him to be
present at the organization and give the en-
terprise his benedictiou. Mr.. Davis, in
reply, thanked the speaker and the commit
tee. but stated he had been warned not TO
sui iect himself to undue excitement. He
hao been warned before, but In spite CT the
warning had gone to Macon, Ca, with the
result OF placing bis life 10 imminent dagger.
he could not go to Aberdeen without partl'
cipating in the exercises, and there
fore he regretfully declined. As for the
object of the association, be heartily approx
I'd of it, and advised that in writing his
tory of the late war the story of the prl'
watts soldier should not be neglected. Around the
camp fire, he said, one could hear the truth con-
corning that great war. No soldier, it Is true,
So the whole of battle, but each one saw part,
and these accounts collected he would rather ac-
cent than many of the official reports. The dele
cation was cordially received by Mr.. Davis, Mrs.
Davis and Miss Winnie.

THE PHILADELPHIA Record says: with
negro voters, be they fair or fraudulent, sol
idly massed under the standard of one par
ty, the men OF Aryan race are forced In
sheer self defense to stand together in oppo'
sition." Yes, it is because of the solid me-
gro republican vote 10 the South that this
section remains solidly democratic IL Is
against human nature for self respecting
and reputable white men to see every negro
at their polling precincts voting one way,
without being induced by that sight alone
to vote the other.
