Tricks of the Bourbons | Gen, Mahone Manages a | Campaign, | | . | | vention [ | ‘ | Prrenssure, Va., August Seated in the library of lis vl William ting the anti-baurbon home in this ci Senator | Mahone is dire campaign in Virginia, The Commer cial corresponder the and the insight he spent two days with organizer, ined of d domin The work of condueting a campaign in great politicial thus campaign methods in the * ion" were certainly resting, this state 18, as has already been ex- plained, a complicated one. graphical formation of the country, its mountain ranges, the slight facili- ties for travel, the great distances be- tween the larger cities, and the scar- city of newspapers, and a hundred other things, tend to make the work laborious and complicated. Until the liberal party was formed the machin- ery of the state was all in the hands of the bourbons, and to a considera- ble extent still is. Under the old re- gime it was almost an utter impossi- bility to hold a republican meeting at all. Posters or hand- bills would only be distributed to be torn down, and the negroes, who composed nine-tenths of the Republi- can party, were by one means or an- other terrified by threats so that they dare not attend the meetings when they were held. With the county of- fices all in their hands, the Bourbons had, and in many places still have, the means of disfranchising hundreds of colored votes. TFor example, the law requires that every person who shall be eligible to exercise the right of suffrace shall pay a pool tax amounting to onedollar. Before that money can be paid each man must qualify as a citizen of Virginia, and his name must apy on the tax list, The colored people are, in many in- stances, a roving people, and a man who is working for a man in Peter burg to-day may be engaged in Rich- mond to-morrow, He may at least have changed from one man's employ in the city to that of another in a dif- ferent ward or precinet. The result is that when the tax collector comes to his first residence he is gone. The collector does not know where, He does not care. The man is marked in the books as having left the city. Fin- ally the time comes around for an clection. The man knows he ean not vote until he pays his tax, and goes to the proper ofticer to pay it. “You can not pay any tax he says the clerk. “‘Ycu are not a citi- zen; you are not listed.” *‘What shall T do?” asks the negro. “Well, the law provides that you can go down to Richmond and pay the State Treasurer a bonus for being late. 'The fare from Petersburg to Richmond is 10 and the bonus is five cents.” The negro is thus re- quired to pay $3 25 for his vote. If he lives overin a distant county it will be four or five times that amount, and of course the fellow can't pay it. He is at once- disfranchised. Another game which the bourbons play is this: Just before clection a county treasurer will fill his pockets with fax receipts, put a silver dollar in his pocket-book and start down in- to some of the thickly settled negro counties. He goes to one darky and “Here 18 a dollar; now come and pay your poll tax,” The fellow does so and the collector gets back his dollar and keeps the receipt. Thus the dollar is made to pay the taxes for twenty or thirty men, and the collect- or keeps his receipts until he gats a chance to tear them up. When the negroes come to vote of course they have nothing to show that they are qualified, There is another and mild- er way of controlling, if not pre- venting the vote of the negrocs. Many of the darkies living in the country are squatters. They build a little cabin on another man’s land and till it on the shares. The time comes to pay taxes, e owner of the land pays the darkies’ tax and comes back with the receipt. Election day comes around. The proprietorsays: ‘“Here, Sam, is the receipt for your tax. You stay at home and the receipt is yours, If * you go near the polls don’t” come back hex Frequently a large land- owner will thus control a dozen yotes. The people finally got disgusted with this manner of doing business and concluded to stop it. The Read- juster or Liberal party was organized, and is now doing its work. The way is, of course, difficult, but General Mahone is skilled in political warfare, and he is sanguine of success this fall. He has been managing the Read- juster canvass, and the Republican canvass will also fall under his super- vision, General Mahone, as a soldier, was pre-eminent for the celerity of his movements and careful preparation of his plans. All through tSw \Nildurnusu campaign General Lee placed his shrewdest plans into Mahone's hands for execution, and many of Lee’s hest movements weremade under Mahone’s suggestions. His political campaigns are carried on in the same manuer, With the soldier's eye to details he watches every movement of the enc- my, and makes his own to meet the emergency. A map of the State lies before him «n the llel'y table, but is seldom referred to. General Mahone knows Virginia as Governor Fos knows Ohio, county by county, His opponents say he knows every politi- cian i the State from least to the greatest, and he knows just what will move him, “‘General Mahone,” saida *‘straight- out" republican delegate the other day at Richmond, “‘never makes a mistake and never forgets his friends,” and the negroes regard him in much the same light as they do Grant, who is, by all odds, the favorite general of every black man in the south, To them ‘‘Massa Grant” is the embodi- ment of all that is good and great, Grant is the black man’s Moses. There 18 an immense expanse of ter- ritory to cover, and speakers are not the most plentiful in the liberal party, and this alone gives Mahone plenty to do.

L, Attacked by Brigands in Spain. London Telegraph, The following details from Mr. John Lester, of Lowestoft, of his capture and escape from Spanish brigands near San Scbastian has been received. Mr. Lester writes: “‘I had walked about sixty miles through some of the grand- est scenery in the north of Spain, and, wishing to cross the French frontier that night, was pushing on rather late, when, about 9 o’clock and in a lonely part of the road, bordered with woods, midway between San Sebastian and Trun, I was accosied by a Spaniard, who asked some simple questions, walking along by my side at the time. Some others had been either following or had stepped out from among the trees. T was suddenly felled to the ground from behind, and on recov ing consciousness, some hours after- ward, found myself in a dilapidated house or hovel, tied by the leg to a fastening in a corner of the smaller of its two divisions, stripped of all but my trousers and shirt, and with a| bundle of straw for my bed. 1 will| not attempt to describe my fecling on finding myself in such a position alone with and at th merey of a gang of bloodthirsty | robbers, perhaps infuriated at not gaining as much as they expected. | “‘Day succeeded day without any- | thing of note being said. 1 was sup- plied periodically with bread and water, and T found the gang to con- sist of fivo men, three of whom were but indifferently armed. My capture had been effected on tho uith of Triday, July 8. On what I found afterward to have been the night of Friday, July 15, having lost count of the days during my monotonous in- carceration, thinking I lad had suflicient of that place, and moreover, being tormented with feelings of hun- ger, not having had anything given me since the previous evening, and having an 1dea that their neglect was a preliminary to my death in_some shape or other, T resolved to strive for liberty., Having worked out a stone which I found rather loose in the wall near me, and having taken ad- vantage of the darkness of my corner I gnawed asunder the chord that bound me. I made to the door,which opened into the other apartment, and there being but one guard left over me—the pthers being off on some expedition—I watched for an opportu- nity. Presently it was afforded me, As the fellow sat with lis back to- ward me, resting his head upon his hands, I stole forward, holding my stone in readiness, and with one blow lnid him on_the floor. Then, snatch- ing up a knife from the table, I ran out, and after wandering among the mountains most of the night found inyself at daybreak on the highway, with my feet cut with the stones and my strength gone, ‘4 fainted. On coming round I at- tempted in vain to rise, when two men, coming along with a bullock cart, T asked for help. All they did was to prod me with their goads and march on. he laborers now turning to their work in the ficlds, and seeing my attempt to regain my feet, several of them pelted me with clods. 1 had little strength left, but at last T man- aged to get on my feet, and having rested awhile to regain my strength, 1 staggered along to the town, and waited upon the vice-consul, who kindly provided me with food and clothes, after which I accompanicd him before the governor of the pro- vince to make my statement, Being then weak and ill, T found it necessary to enter the hospital for a few days, and am now gaining strength among the mountains of Biscay, The Span- ish government have the matter under consideration; but, as they do not undertake to indeminify persons from any injury perpetrated by their sub- jects, T am told on good authority that I shall be lucky if they but allow me for what I hay i Love Your Nelghbor, When your friend or neigh ing under bodily affliction, iudige fousness, constipation, caused by impurity of blood or disorders of the kidney or liver, don't fall to recommend Bukbock BLoon Briteks, o sure and safe remedy, Price $1.00; trial size, 10 cents, eodlw Wicked for Clergyman.

You find a canvas town, with Jiere and there a wooden house made of lumber hauled all the vy from Boise or Kelton, for saw wills hiave been but vecently estab- lished here. It boasts as many sa- loons as « town of its size in the known world, There are two news- papers hero, and both of them are filled with new advertisements, Un- til last month the average Haileyite piled his blankets in the corner of a saloon or slep upon the soft side of a monte-table. But now they have a veal hotel, of which they are very proud. JEALOUS TOWNS This town is fearfully jealous of the ncighboring town of Bellevue, 1 about four miles off, which is the clder town of the two and has a larger population. All this country lies in the county of Alturas, wlich has already had two counties taken out of it, and now comes the question of removing the local governivent from the old mining town of Rocky Bar. The best mines here are those in Bullion gulch, and there will be, my belief, the town of the futu The eloction comes off in September, and the Bellevue folks won’t have enough votes to capture it; so rather than see it go to Hailey they will vote to retain it at Rocky Bar. 1n1883 Bullion expects to capture it. The Oregonians who came out here cxpect- ing to pick up fortunes have gone home in a disgruntled condition, and some of the Nevada men lave done but little better. These mines have merit beyond a doubt, but they have to ship all their ore to Salt Lake for reduction, for want of smelting fur- naces at home. The only ono m operation is a small water-jacket Bray- ton furnace at Hailoy, owned by a company formed in Boise, Tts capaci- ty is ten tons per day, whereas the product of the mines demand a reduc- ing capacity of 100 tons per day. At present it takes forty days to get veturns on a shipment of ore to Salt ke, so that the hard cash is not very casy to get hold of in_any of the towns. But next year will solve the problem and the really good mines will be worked as_close carporations, while the “holes in the ground” will be kept for the amusement of stock operators IMBER, IRON AND LIME, Timber is more abundant than in most parts of Nevada, but the char- conl-burners will soon make fearful inroads upon it, unless Villard runs a branch of his Oregon road into Wood River and supplies them with coal. Nature has been liberal in the sup- plies of iron and lime for fluxing pur- poses, which are close at hand, but a bed of coal is needed there, or else cheaper transportation than they now enjoy, before any great dividends can be paid. The snows fall deep there, never loss than three feet, and they will find it still more oxpensive work to reduce these ores when the winter days come along. 1t would be quite as unjust to condemn this country as it would be to condemn California, when the real truth is that California has only recently learned to work low- grade quartz, The iines of Grass Valley and Sutter Croek are paying us well as ever they did, but the quartz is not 8o rich; yet the new appliances for saving the gold are keeping up the dividends. Just 50 it will be in Wood River when the mines fall into the hands of men who have the means to put ap the most costly machinery, and hire thoe highest metallurgists {0 ope- rate them.
