A Card from Follower Of General
Malone.
To the E'ditor Of the Dispatch:
Sir,-Not having seen any expression
of opinion on the situation in Virginia
from the personal following of General
Malone. | give you my views, and
ninetv-nine hundredths of the Ma
honeites agree with me. We will not
vote for any Republican congressman
this year. On the contrary, we will vote
the Democratic ticket and see that full
Democratic delegation goes from this
State.
Our reasons are that we will not be
dictated to by Congress as to who shall
represent us. We will not have any but
white Virginians. and when Congress
SAYS we must be represented by a saucy,
impudent, and contemplate negro
whom we deferted) it is time to call a
halt and say, "No further will we go. .
am speaking for the rank and file Of
the personal following OF General
Malone, aud it is an open secret that
his sentiments are the same.
We viii one and all vote to give Viz
GINA clean Democratic delegation OF
white congressman. Yours truly,
GEORGE A. PoYTHBRss.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-Ihe De
partment OF State is without informa-
ton of the alleged discriminating Mexi-
can duty of $500 per carload on Ameri-
can cattle which is reported from the
West. Acting Secretary Adso says that
when the Mexican Government, by a
decree issued year ago, increased the
duties on imported cattle and swine
which, by the way, were general duties
and not directed especially against the
United States-the Department OF State
was informed of the action within TWEEN
ty-four hours, and while he cannot deny
the last reported action, he is compelled
to doubt it.

Pause Awhile !

ne STATE
The Council Committee on Relief Of
the Poor proposes to appropriate "about
$40, 900 TO build an addition TO the city
almshouse for colored paupers. 4 wiser
outlay OF tins much of the city's money
would be the erection Of city hospital,
as our physicians have so often re-
quested. There are hospitals here now,
and they accomplish q good work, but
Richmond needs city hospital such as
is maintained in other cities The pres
ent colored almshouse is not an imposing
edifce, but it about answers the pur-
pose, and il more space be needed the
structure can be patched out The new
colored almshouse can come in time. As
a matter Of public improvement city
hospital belongs TO Richmond first The
white citizens pay three fourths OF the
cost Of maintaining the INDECENT colored
people here and Of educating the young
colored people. A colored man is now
up to represent Richmond in Con-
gress-the assumption of his col
ored hackers who put him forward
being that Hon. George ID. Wise, the
white man, nominated by white men, is
not as good congressman as Mitchell,
the negro, will be. If the colored race
is prosperous and intelligent enough to
put up congressman for its own bene-
| tit. then it can build a brick almshouse.
What appreciation do the members OF
this race show when it comes to electing
men to positions of trust-men to whom
the interests of the community are COM
mitted? They will vote always for a
disreputable white loafer in preference
to man of high standing. They will
vote for one of their own color. nc mat
ter how ignorant he may be. They viii
always vote against the men who employ
them. Richmond has done her part by
her colored citizens and will do her part,
but really it is not just or appropriate &c
be thrustiDg benefits upon them when
their voters are using every effort to de
grade and ruin the very section that
gives them life.
