Hon. James W. Marshall was in Cliff
ton Forge last week on his way to Rich
mond. simultaneously with this, we no
tice in the Petersburg I53dea-AppeaEs
Richmond correspondence, the follow
ing: II am told by q gentleman from
Southwestern Virginia that Cyclone
JIM Marshall, of Craig, is urging the
Democrats not to run him for the Sen,
ate, as he expects to be a candidate for
Auditor of Public Accounts when the
General Assembly conyenes. He is going
to make big fight, for the place, and
will have a good support from the South
western delegation
This is all very we'll as far as it goes.
But the Alliance has the tip this time,
and we venture the prediction that no one
but an iron>clad Alliance man will touch
either the Auditors place, or any other
basement office We have seen enough
within the past few days to satisfy us
that the Alliance means business. 1t is
playing for all that is in sight and what
is more, is going to win. They are sub
shutting their own organization for that
OF the Democracy, and while they pros
claim that they are Democrats, yet they
are Alliance men first, and mean to make
it known that unless the mossback Dem
ocrats endorse them and their candida>
ties they will have no place in the process
sion. The next Legislature will be an
Alliance body by a large majority, and
that majority will appropriate the re
wards of victory among their own PEG
pie. Why not Would not the Demo
Gratis or Republicans do the same? Ger
tainly. They always have done SO and
would do so again, and had either party
the power, no Alliance man need apply.
Why not the Alliance give them a dose
of their own medicine? 1t is the natural
thing to do, and they will do it.
John w. Daniel is not SO secure as
might be thought; and unless he comes
square down to Alliance ways and Ali
ance notions, then there may well be a
\ I, ich Il IN,
the United States Senate. We don't
think that Cyclone JIM will stand a
ghost of chance for Auditor, unless he
is branded as an Alliance man
Judge J. w. Marshall, of Craig county
stopped here Sunday night on his re-
turn home from Richmond He related
that he and Judge Fauntleroy of the
Supreme Court occupied a seat together
from Richmond to Staunton, and that
a short distance this side of Trevilian's
Louisa county, some one threw rock at
the train which crashed through the
window just over their heads, and fell
in the aisle. The entire window was
shattered to pieces and Judge Faunt-
leroy, who sat next to the window, was
covered with particles of glass. 1t is not
believed of course that the rock was
aimed at them but at the train by some
one who had spite at the railroad COM
pany.
The Fincastle Herald says that 'sMr.
J. b. Simpson, Postmaster at that place,
has been appointed Special Post Office
Inspector for Botetourt county," whose
duty it will now be to examine each
post-office in that county, and report to
the Department. This is the beginnin g
of a plan adopted short time ago to
have a conferee in each county who
could have closer supervisors of the
offices than the department at Wash
ington, but the order says distinctly
that he is not an inspector of the other
er Offices
Bob the dun horse belonging to
James Cross, who has been running on
the mail route between here and Staun>
ton, has in the last six years made 1878
trips, and travelled 81, $50 miles. This is
more than the distance around the
world and would amount to about
from ocean to ocean. Bob" is still as
lively as cricket, and will run off at
the drop of hat. n-Highgand Recor-
