is reported in the Eaadacatoy as saying
in the recent County Convention: 'sWhen
the day OF election comes, no Republi-
can will aa2e stand back and not go for
ward to the polls and vote the ticket
If it is any consolation to Mr.. Craig. we
will state that the editor of the VIRGIN
IAN claims to be a Republican, who has
proven his faith by his works, and that
he dares to do anything he thinks to be
right. He will not vote for Gen. Malone
under any circumstances, even had he
been nominated by a dozen packed Ma
hone caucuses. But it came with q bad
grace from Mr.. Craig to make such a
statement, especially as heWas addressing
body which was being presided ever
by a gentleman who bo1ted The RepubH-
can nominee for Congress last fall, and
voted for the Democratic nominee, al
though he had been defeated candidate
for delegate to the Republican District
| Convention from his township. The
matter in the one case was that the gen
tleman referred to voted against nomi-
| nee who did not wear Mahone's collar,
and in the other, Gen. Malone himself
is the nominee:
Mr.. Jos. D. Weeks, the able editor of
the american Manufacturer, has been
designated to make the report upon
coke, coal, natural gas, oil and glass
for the 18th census. This is a splen-
did appointment. No man in the Union
is so well fitted for the task. His wide
and accurate information great Indus
try, and Thorough acquaintance with
the mineral sections insure most valua-
BILE and reliable report. Particularly is
his selection fortunate for the South.
Mr. Weeks has made special study of
the vast mines Of natural wealth with
which the South abounds, and which
have SO long lain dormant Never vet
has full justice been done them, and
when the facts shall be made public, as
we know now they will be, it will indeed
be an suspicious day for the South. The
wonderful development of recent years
has but opened the door wide enough to
get glance at future possibilities With
Mr. Weeks as the coal and coke expert,
and Mr.. Jas. NJ. Swank as the expert on
iron and steel, we feel perfectly safe in
saying that the mineral schedules of the
next census will marshall an array of
facts the value of which cannot now be
estimated.
Appointing a committee at the Nor
folk Convention to revise Mahone's plan
OF organization, was like locking the
door after the horse had been stolen.
The plan had done it's wprk-Mahone
had nominated himself for Governor,
and his entire programme had been car
ried out. AS it is not probable any plan
will be needed for a year or two, it mat
ters very little what the committee does.
Before it is needed, we think Malone
will be sick of all plans and all sublunary
things.
The Republicans of Virginia know
how Gen. Malone, as Chairman Of the
State Republican Committee, uses the
machinery of his plan of organiza-
ton to defeat the popular will, to deny
personal rights, prosecute and prescribe
all who will not own him as master, and
rule the party with an iron hand. What
would be the extent of his arbitrary ways
and malignant spirit if the State govern
ment were placed under his control
Think of it, Republicans of Virginia?
Gen. Malone has said that he would
prefer to see Democrat retain office, to
a Republican being appointed who was
not bis choice, and yet he calls himself a
Republican. Would it not be equally
consistent were Republicans to stay from
the polls and let him test his strength
with the Democrats, to see whether he
represents Republican sentiment In this
respect What is sauce for the goose
ought to be sauce for the gander.
Mr.. E. G. Fowler has been promoted to
be chief clerk of the Assistant Post
master General, having been chief of the
appointment division for number of
years. He is a gentleman in every re-
spect, and knows the proprieties of Off
cial position. 1t is qualification to see
the recognition of such men.
John S. Coles, of Albemarle, was killed
on Saturday last by a pistol shot fired
by Curtis Morgan, a young Englishman.
living in that county. Coles fired the
first shot, which missed, and Morgan re-
turned it, with fatal effect.
