MtHONI MD JOSH A.
If Manoue's iofmt, wickeduess need
eel any further illustration. he has
amply supplied the deficiency in en-
cular which he has recently caused TO
be distributed am-ug the negro preach
efs Of the STATE. and % which there wa.
such full response from the negro
preachers a. Richmond Oh Thursday.
For ms puIpos,s. the most miscmev
Gus and incendiary passages Of this cir
cular are extracts from Joshua. d.
which be reproachcs the Seven Tribe
for their slacknes- IA claiming their H.
heritauce. ard promises them that they
shall drive out the Cauaauites. Tn,
purpose Of this circular can have bu.
one object, and il is to inilame the im-
aguation of the negroes with the idea
that Malone is the new Joshua. an,
that ali they have TO DO Is TO follow
lead and possess the land.
Now We desire TO ak the readers a.
this article e. picture. it they can. H.,
ireuzIed excitement OF the hordes OF
negroes in the country districts wi,
are now assembling in pretended reli-
gious. but. really. political meetings
ard listening to harangues from thei
ignorant preachers on this new Joshua
who is 10 drive Oul the white CANA
i.e- and deliver To them their long az
claimed iph,nttuce.

hardly escape feeling Of ga niu -us
peuse about the danger tia is luikn
IA these secret ass, mblagts. If ther
are many parts of Virgin. where d.
wife OF daughter is permitted L.
even few hundred yards from her oW |
home without protection. now gre
must be the feeling of insecurity nov
when the most Iuceudiary teaching
are filling the minds of the negroes u.I
only with unrest. but with the mos
dangerous Gelusious.
We cannot even venture To discus
industrial questions and differ in MAJ
tiers of policy. for at every recurrinl
election the same danger Is before us.
and the Only question Is the preserys
ton Of property and civilization. Al
this danger Is now mcreasf q bN the fac
that since the separation from Mahoa
of the prominent men who could n.
bear hi, iusolerce or reifi,hues,. Do
party hardls relaios an element OF d
ccucy. and ITS leader Is 40 more worth
Of respect than Guy FaW kes or Jact
Caie.
H., petty nature. doubtless. glorIes D.
the fact that he keeps many white com
mumlics in Virginia IN state Of apYre

Nor doe, Malone probably g.ory less
in the fact that trembling white Wo
men ia the country lie down ia fear
when innammatory harangues az
sermons on texts from Joshua are max
log night hideous. and the most earue- y
wish they have is that the day of ciec
lion had safely passed.
Let the Democracy OF Virginia see e.
II that this bogus Joshua shall not flo
his last resting place on the peaceful
slopes Of Mount Ephriam. but that h,
and his hordes shall be swallowed w
m tho fate Of jericho with not even
Rahab left TO tell the tale Of their DIS
