VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN ,
Tricks of the Bourbons How
Qou. Mnliono Maunges a
Campaign.
His Views of , tlio Lyuchlmrr : Con-
rontioii.
Corrc < ii > onJonce ol tbo Cincliimtl Commercial.
Yn.j August
Seated in the library of his Dleasaiit
homo in this city , Senator William
Mnlumo is dirqeliilg the niiti-bnirbon
campaigil in Virginia. The Commer
cial correspondent spent two days
with the gre.xt politicial organizer ,
and the insight ho thus gained of
campaign methods in the "old domin
ion" were certainly interesting. The
work of conducting a campaign in
this state is , as has already been ex
plained , a complicated one. The geographical
graphical formation of the country ,
Us mountain ranges , the slight facili
ties for travel , the great distances bo-
Iwcen the larger cities , nnd the scar
city of newspapers , and a hundred
other things , tend to mnko the work
laborious and complicated. Until the
liberal party was formed the machin
ery of the state was nil in the hamta
of the bourbons , nnd to n considers-
bio extent still is. Under the old re
gime it was almost an utter impossi
bility to hold : i republican
meeting at all. Postern or hand
bills would only bo distributed to
bo torn down , and the negroes , who
composed nine-tenths of the Republican -
can pnrty , were by ono moans or an
other terrified by threats so that they
dare neb attend the meetings when
they were hold. With the county of
fices all in their hands , the Bourbons
had , nnd in many phcns still have ,
the means of disfranchising hundreds
of colored votes. For example , the
law requires that every person who
shall bo eligible to exercise the right
of BiiIFraro shall pay a pool tax
amounting to ono dollar. Before that
money can bo paid each man must
qualify as a citizen of Virginia , and
his name must appear 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 Petprs-
burg to-day may bo engaged in Richmond
mend to-morrow. Ho may nt least
have changed from ono man's employ
in the city to that of another in a dif
ferent ward or precinct. The result
is that when the tax collector comes
to his first residence ho is gone. The
collector does not know where. Ho
does not care. The man is marked in
the books as having left the city. Fin
ally the time cornea around for an
election. The man knows ho can not
vote until ho pays his tax , and goes to
the proper oflicer to pay it.
"You can not pay any tax hero , "
says the clerk. "You are not ; v citi
zen ; you are not listed. "
"What shall I do ? " asks the negro.
"Well , the law provides that you
can go down to Richmond nnd pay
the State Treasurer a bonus for being
lato. TJio faro from Petersburg to
Richmond is S" 10 nnd the bonus is
live cents. " The negro is thus re
quired to pay $ . ' { 25 for his vote. If
ho lives over in a distant county it
will be four or five times that amount ,
and of course the fellow can't pay it.
Ho hat once-disfranchised.
Another game which the bourbons
play is this : .Just before election a
county treasurer will fill his pockets
with tax receipts , put a silver dollar
in his pocket-book and start down in
to seine of the thickly settled negro
counties. He goes to ono darky and 1
says : "Hero is a dollar ; now como
and pay your poll tax. " The follow
docs 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 ho g2ts a
chance to tear them up. When the
negroes como to vote of course they
have nothing to show that they are
qualified. There is another and mild
er way of controlling , if not preventing -
venting the vote of the negroes. Many
of the darkies living in the country
are squatters. They build a little ,
cabin on another man's land nnd till
it on the shares. The time comes to
pay taxes. The owner of the land
pays the darkies' tax and comes back
with the receipt. Election day comes
around , The proprietorsays : "Hero ,
Sam , ia the receipt for your tax. You
stay at homo and the receipt is yours.
If you go near the polls don't comeback
back hero. " Frequently n largo land
owner will thus control a dozen votes.
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
Mahono is skilled in political warfare ,
and ho is sanguine of success this
fall. Ho has been managing the Read-
junior canvass , and the Republican
canvass will also fall under his super
vision. General Mahono , as a soldier ,
was pro-eminent for the celerity of his
movements and careful preparation of
his plans. AH through the Wilderness
campaign General Loo- placed his
shrewdest plans into Mahono's hands
for execution , and many of Leo's best
movements woronmdo under Mahono's
suggestions. His political campaigns
are carried on in the same manner.
With the soldier's eye to details ho
watches every movement of the ene
my , and makes his own to meet the
emergency , A man of the State lies
before him un the library table , but is
seldom referred to , General Mahono
knows Virginia as Governor Foster
knows Ohio , county by county. His
opponents say ho knows every politi
cian in the State from least to the
greatest , and ho knows just what will
move him.
"General Mahono , " said a "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 "Mossa Grant" is the embodi
ment of all that is good and great.
Grant is the black man's Moses.
There is an immense expanse of ter
ritory to cover , and speakers are not
the moat plentiful in the liberal party ,
and this alone gives Mahono plenty
to do. Like a go d general , he never
leaves n { > oint exposed. Wherever era
I bourbon announce a mooting Mahono
has a man to w.itch him. Sometimes
the notice of a Ixiurbon
docs not reach General
librniy until the night previous ; but
General Mnhono never rclircs until
daybreak. From the accurate lint lio-
fore him ho is able to toll the pn'itum
of ench speaker at his command i > vi > ry
d.vy. Ho maken up his mind that ucli a
man must ( ill the vacancy , litH tol-
I'grnplicd at once "to go" nnd lliat is
the end of 51. Mannuu's lioul < tuuts
know how to obtiy. Their liuM in
Ihoir _ chief is implicit * At liU Imck
General Mahonu has the fcdei.il pa-
troimgo. Ho knows well how to IHU
his tools ninl the men soon learn \ \ hat
his actions imply. A luad < < r two
falls into ( ho political basket nnd Ian-
divds of pi-oplii know that the power
Unit wielded the ax lay in the iu-luMto
hands of the roadjuster senator , and
they act accordingly.
General Mahonu spoke very froolj
about hia campaign , mid is coniulimi
of his power to win. "Thu actimi of
the republican convention suits uu > u\-
nctly , said ho , "and thuonly mistake
the regular body made was deigning
to iccojjnizo lh ) other nlmir at all.
Having a majority of the state com
mittee in their favor , with eveiy show
of regularity , they should have gouo
on at once with their duties , entirely
unmindful of the Jorgeusoii pailyor
anybody clso who might sol them
selves up ns n republican convention
lly that means tlio disintegration
which begun before the boilers adn
journcd would have been brought
about twelve hours sooner. 1 know
that the bourbons have no hunrt in
this cnnvasa , and that with all their
attempts to sustain a white nun's
party in Virginia , their time Ima

The following details from Mr. John
Leater , of Lowe.stoft , of hia cnptuio
and escape from Spanish brigands near
San Sebastian has been received. Mr.
sixty miles through seine of the grand
est scenery in the north of Spain , and ,
wishing to cross the French frontier
that night , was pushing on rather lute ,
when , about ! ) o'clock and in a lonely
part of the road , bordered with woods ,
midway between San Sebastian ami
Irun , I was accosted by n Spaniard ,
who asked some simple questions ,
walking along by my side at the time.
Some others had been either following
or had stopped out from among the
trees. I was suddenly felled to the
ground from behind , and on recover
ing consciousness , seine hours after
ward , found myself in n dilapidated
house or hovel , tied by the leg to a
fastening in n corner of the smaller of
its j two divisions , stripped of all but
my trousers and shirt , and with u
bundle of straw for my bed , Iill
not attempt to describe my feelings
on finding myself in such a
position alone with and at the
mercy of a gang of bloodthirsty
robbers , pcihaps infuriated at not
gaining as much ns they opccted.
' 'Day succeeded day without any
thing of note _ being said. 1 was sup
plied periodically with bread and
water , and I found tlio gang to con
sist , of five men , three of whom were
, but indidbrently armed. My capture j
had , been effected on the iijght of f
Friday , July 8. On what 1 lound j
afterward to have been the night of
Friday . , July 15 , having lost count of
the days during my monotonous in
carceration , thinking I had had 1
sufficient of that place , and moreover ,
being tormented with feelings of hun
ger , not having had anything given
mo since the previous evening , and
having an idea that their negleofc was
a preliminary to my death in some
shape or other , I resolved to strive for
liberty. _ Having worked out a utono
3which I found rather looao in the
wall near mo , and having taken ad
vantage of the darkness of my corner
I gnawed asunder the chord that t
bound mo. I made to the doorwhich
opened into the other apartment , and
there being but ono guard loft over
mo the others being on"on some
expedition I watched for un opportu
nity. Presently it was afforded mo.
As the follow sat with his back to
ward me , resting his head upon his
hands , I stole forward , holding my
stone in readiness , and with one blow
laid him on the lloor. Then , snatching -
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 nith the
stones and my strength gone.
" 1 fainted. On coming round I at
tempted in vain to rise , when two
men , coining along with a bullock
c.irt , I naked for help. All they did
w.is to prod me with their goads and
march on. The laborers now turning
to their work in the Jidda , and seeing
my attempt to regain my feet , several
of them pelted mo with clods. 1 had
little strength left , but at lust I man
aged to got on my feet , and having
rested nwhilo to regain my strength , I
staggered along to the town , and
waited upon ( ho vice-consul , who
kindly provided mo with food nnd
clothes , after which I accompanied
him before the governor of the province -
vince to make my statement. Doing
then weak and ill , I found it necessary
to enter the hospital for a few days ,
and am now gaining strength among
the mountains of Uiscay , The Span-
iah government have the matter under
consideration ; but , as they do not
undertake to indemnify persons from
any injury perpetrated by their sub
jects , I am told on good authority
that I shall bo lucky if they but allow

. . lUmi : CIT.V , August 8To reach
the . Wood River mines you leave here
at sundown nnd ride all night to n
place called Rattlesnnko Creek , where
yon exchange stages nnd go on towards
I lailey or liullcvuoj as the cnso may bo ,
\vhilo the stage winch brought you out
over the hot and dusty sagebrush
plains pursues its weary way towaids
Kolton. From Rattlesnake to Camel's
prairie the road is n gradual ascension ,
nmlWhcti you reach the prairie you
begin to find cooler weather and
cleaner water. No other country , ex
cept the Grand Rondo valley
in eastern Oregon , ever saw such
an abundance of springs. The
prairie is about forty > cii hl miles
long and about thirty-live miles in
width , and is well adapted for dairy
ing purposes. Scores of \vagoiia ,
loaded down with immigrants , pass
over the road every day , bound for
Palouso or Yakinm , in Washington
Territory , leaving behind them ns
good n climate as they will find , and
tin equally productive countrv. The
cliuiato changes very r.ipitlfy alter
leavingithu prairie , and you soon be
come uwnro that you are uiitoiing in
{ to ; n mountainous region. The alti
tude is about equal to that of Straw
berry valley mi llto old stage road
from Placorvillo to Washoe , and your
overcoat cornea in good play all
through the chilly night ride.
I lailey is ro.iched about ( i o'clock in
the morning. You find a canvas
town , with here and thine a , wooden
house made of lumber hauled nil the
way from lloiso or Kelton , for saw
mills have been but lecontly estab
lished here. It 1 musts as many sa
loons as any town of its size in the
known world. Theio are two news
papers hero , and both of them arc
filled with now advertisements. Un
til hist month the average Haileyite
piled his blankets in the corner of a
saloon or slept upon the soft side of n
monte-tablu. Rut now they have a
real hotel , of which they ore very
proud.
.Tn.u.otw TOWNS
This town is fearfully jealous of the
neighboring town of Jiellevuo , located
about four miles oil' , which is the
elder town of the two and has a larger
population. All this country lies in
the county of Alturas , which has
already had two counties lakon out of
it , and now comes the question of
removing the local government from
the old mining town of Rocky Uar.
The best mines here are those in
.Bullion gulch , and thoio will bo , in
my belief , the town of the future.
The election comes oil' in September ,
and the IJullovuo folks won't have
enough votes to capture it ; so rather
than BOO it go to liailoy they will vote
to retain it at Rocky Uar. In 1883
.Bullion expects to capture it. The
progoniaus who came out hero expeot-
ing to pick up fortunes have gone
homo in a disgruntled condition , and
some of the Nevada men have done
but litllo bettor. These mines have
merit beyond a doubt , but they have
to ship all their ore to Salt Lake for
reduction , for want of smelting furnaces -
naces at home. The only one in
operation is n small water-jacket JJray-
ton furnace at llailoy , owned by n
company formed in Boise. Its capaci-
ty is ton 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
returns on a shipment of ere to Salt
Lake , so that the hard cash is not
very easy to got hold of in any of the
towns. Hut next year will solve the
problem and the really , irood mines
will bo worked a * close corporations ,
while the "holes in the ground" will
bo kept for tlie amusement of stock
operators.
TIMIIIiH , IKON ANII MMK.
Timber is moro abundant than in
most parts of Nevada , but the char
coal-burners will soon make fearful
inroads upon it , unless Villard runs a
branch of his Oregon road into Wood
River nnd supplies them with coal.
Nature has been liberal in the sup
plies of iron nnd 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 gro.1t dividends can
be p.iid. The snows fall deep there ,
never loss than three feet , and they
will find it still moro expensive work-
to reduce these ores when the winter
days como along. It would lie quite
as unjust to condemn this countiy as
it would be to condemn California ,
when the real truth is that California
has only recently learned to work low-
grade quartz. The mines of Grass
Valley and Suiter Creek are paying us
well as ever they did , but the quartz
is not so rich ; yet the now appliances
for saving the gold are keeping up the
dividends. Just so it will bo in Wood
River when the mines fall into the
hands of men who have the means to
put rap the most costly machinery , and
hire the highest metallurgists to ope
rate them. Disciples of Jzaak Walton
who intend visiting Wood River
should not fail to bring along n fishing
rod nnd plenty of Hies. I have fished ,
in the last twenty-eight years , nearly
every stream between Santa Barbara
and Sitka , and I never caught as
large trout with the fly orcaught thorn
as fast as in Wood river and its tribu
taries , Over the Puget Sound streams
n pound trout is a rare thing to catch
with n lly , though the smaller ones
bile freely ; but hero you can hardly
cast without getting n rise from u
two-pounder ,
