Those who know the very hostile feelings
of Malone and Langston towards each 9TH
er, will bs amazed to learn that they had a
meeting in Washington city last week, and
that they made friends, and, "cheek by
jowl," promised to work together. When
Malone professed reconciliation with the
late Senator Riddleberger, he kissed him.
It is not reported that he kissed Langston
literally as he did Riddleberger, but, meta
phorically, they Rugged and kissed each
other politically, and seem to have mutual
ly vowed friendship equal to that of David
and Jonathan. That there is no sincerity on
the part of either, will be the general opin-
ion, and that the purpose is the accomplish
ment of one or more political schemes. If
Langston is not very sharp, he will find
himself buncoed.
Malone defeated the election of Langs-
ton for Congress, and called him I'D
nigger," who should not be elected, if he
could prevent it, and he did prevent his
election, though he was, after long time.
by the Republican Congress, given the seat
to which Venable was elected. In view of
Mahone's attitude to Langston in the past,
and of the denunciations each heaped upon
the other, this conduct of Malone in taking
Langston to his bosom will weaken his hold
upon his former followers, who claimed for
him, as one of his chief virtues, that he
was opposed to giving Office to the negroes.
Malone, the puissant political leader and
champion, bowling his crest to Langston-
''the ID niger" as he called him.
SHOW are the mighty fallenE' "Think of
it, picture it, if you can" Great Scott,
what tableau!
Malone is resolved. as heretofore, to rule
the Republican party in Virginia or to ruin
it, and he will do both; for he will both
rule and ruin it. He is on the shoulders OF
the Republican party il Virginia, and ne
will retain his position with even greater
pertinacity than that of the sold Man Of the
Sea" when clinging to the shoulders OF
'Sinbad, the Sailor" The Republican par
ty iu Virginia is in more hopeless condi-
ton than Sinbad, for he finally gos rid of
the sold Man of the Sea-" but there seems
to be no hope that the Republican party
can lid itself of Malone.
TO change the metaphor, Malone is the
Jehu of the Republican Chariot, and ''all
the Kings horses and all the Kings men,
cannot dislodge him from his position, and
he will drive it till he smashes it into
'tsmithereens."

MALONE COURTS LANasToN. From
Langs -on's account of his reconciliation
with Mahoue, he did not court Malone,
but Malone courted him. The following
ia an extract from an interview with Lang
ston By reporter Of the Petersburg Indeg-
Appeai:-
Show about the reported dissatisfaction
existing among your followers by reason of
your alliance with Gen. Mahonep'
Eangstoa answered this question BY cay
ing that he did not go over to Malone, but
that overtares were made to him by repre-
sentatives Of the Malone faction some days
before any. reconciliation took place"
Langston says that the reconciliation
means the sending of solid Republican
delegation to the next Republican conven-
ton. 1t is understood that this delegation
is to be for Harrison. It will be seen in a
short while what the Anti- Malone Repub.
licsns or 'skickers" as they are called by
the Malone men, will do-whether they
will work eontentedly in the Langston- Ma
hone harness or whether they will ekick''
out of the traces. When the coach starts,
the driver will fird that he has refractory
and an upmansgeable team.

ere, served together in the Mexican war,
were both wounded in the same battle and

patients critical condition, Ex-Governor
McLane suggested that his visitor should
not prolong his visit. General Maury fully
appreciated the great commanders condi-

illness that was upon him. Desiring,
though, to appear as cheerful as possible,
in parting be expressed the hope that they
should soon meet again. With General
Maury's hand STILL in bis, General Johnston
pulled his Old friend down to him aud kiss

For the SPECTATOR.
Questions to be Considered.

Mr.. Editor I'm addition to the ques-
tious presented in your last issue in relation
to local-option in Waypesboro' and Basic
City; The eligibility of citizeBs of the new
cities to the offices Of Supervisor, Road
Commissioners &c., which have TO be
chosen for the District, there are other
questions of difficulty which will very soon
arise, certainly before the term of the new
officials will expire. The extension OF the
corporate limits which will become neces-
sary to develop and control the widely ex-
tended area OF streets and lots, will take
from the district and county considerable
portion of the most valuable property for
taxation to support the district and county
governments for working and improving
the public roads and bridges. The great
boom In progress, around the city of Staun-
ton, will result in greatly extending its
limits, thereby largely Withdrawing from
tho Manor district and the county very
much taxable property.
The withdrawal of this property add
population will not produce corresponding
diminution in the county expenses. The
citiesare growing and the county is diminish
ing. 1t is true that we all rejoice at the
growth and prosperity of our brethren n
the towns; but it is desirable the equities
jus.ing the changed relations.
The expenses of the county government
will but little, if at all, be diminished.
The Courthouse and Jail have hereto
fore been sufficient to accommodate our
population, but the large increase of crimi-
nails from the city has resulted in call on
the county to build larger prison. The
present building is handsome and SUBJ
stantial, amply sufficient for the county,
especially in consideration of her growing
less. The towns of Waynesboro' and Basic
City, probably in few years, will be
erected into ono great city corporation with
all the immunities and powers requisite to
| render her independent of Staunton and the
county. While the county anticipates in
cidental benefits, yet it is necessary that
all concerned should be fully awake to the
probable necessities of the future and make
such dispositions as will vigiantly guard
and protect the interests of the districts
and the county.
The officers to be chosen should be fully
identified in interest and equally feel the
Burdens they impose on their constituency.
They should be intelligent, broad and
patriotic in their views; firm and decided
in sustaining the right; free from local
iealousies and party chickering's.

LANGsTnN's GRIEVANCE AGAINST BRADY
THE BOND OF UNION.
[CoIrespu. .lence of the Richmond Dispatch ]
PETERSBURG, Va, March 27-J ohm M.
Lapgston, late member of the House from
this congressional district, was seen this
afternoon by Dispatch reporter and ques-
toned closely as to the published state
ments touching reconciliation between
himself ana General Malone. Langston
spoke freely and unreservedly, and the
facts which he discloses constitute one of
the most remarkable and anomalous politl-
cal alliances in the history of this State.
ANOMALOUS RECONCILIATION.
Langston, it will be borne in mind, has
never had a bitterer or more determined
enemy than General and ex-senator Ma
hone. II two campaigns Malone has used
bis influence, the machine" and his per-
sonaI following to defeat the man whom he
contemptuously termed the NEGRO candi-
date" Ia fact, it was in November ct last
year "the id niger" that was to be
beaten under any ard all circumstance
Nevertheless, the General and the ex-Con.
gresham have reached an agreement aud
the ''hero Of the Crater" and the negi pol
itcau who d d most 80 encompass his de-
Kinney carried eff the honors with an al
most unprecedented majority will now and
hereafter stand together check by jowl.
GRIEVANCES AGAINST BRADY.
Langston was in Rio, ond yesterday and
saw the Governor, of whom he speaks in
the kindliest and most courteous terms.
He has not expressed himself authorita-
lively, or, to be no1e exact, as fully as he
would have desired, until he was Interview
ed this evening by the Dispatch reporter.
Then the whole story came out.
Lsngston has grievance, and it is to be
charged against Colonel James d. Bfady,
mem Der of the National Republican Com
mittee, aud, as every body knows, the col
lector of internal revenue for this and the
Richmond district. Colonel Brady has no
llove for Malone, and the lat;er hss fought
Colonel Brady tooth and tee nail for some
years past. Col. Brady was for time the
leading counsel for Lsngston in the latter's
contest for the seat 10 which Hon. E. G.
Venable was elected and from which he
was ous'ed by Speaker Reeds erratic rul-
ings. Now comes Langston and earnestly
and emphatically charges breach OF faith.
Colonel Brady, who was once "his nearest
and dearest of friends" is now the "per-
fidious foe."

We understand thst Mr. L.ugston has
come down here to bind the colored people
hand and foot, and deliver them over to
Mr. Malone. But if we are not very much
mistaken, Mr. Langston will find that he
has lost the grip that be once had. Voters,
be on the alert.-Petersburg Weekly Her.
ald
From the above, copied from paper pub
lished by colored men, and of which Scott
Wood is one OF the editors, it would seem
that the colored people are unwilling to al
low Langston to use them at his pleasure to
subserve his purposes. They think that the
time for selling colored people has passed,
and they don't was Malone as master.

According to speech recently delivered
in Massachusetts, By Mr.. Mckinley, the
father of the famous high tariff bill that
bears his name, the republican majority in
the last Congress passed that bill, not to
benefit the people of this country by reduc-
ing the cost of their necessaries of life, but
to enable the people of other countries to
live at less expense than at present, In con-
sequence of the reduction in the price they
now pay for the articles they import from
this country. Mr.. MCKINLEY said his bill
refunds ninety nine per cent. of the tariff
on the raw material of which the articles
exported from this country are made. This
means that With free raw material the man
ufacturers of this country can compete sue
csssfully with their foreign rivals in all the
markets of the world Bat the tariff on
the raw material IF articles for home con-
sumption not being refunded by the bill re-
ferred to, enables them to double the price
of such articles to the people of their own
country. And of such is republican legis-
lation.-AleC. Gazette.
