The State Election in Virginia takes
place on the fourth Monday in May. The
election excites a good deal of interest
Throughout the country, as upon the sue
cess OF the Opposition party" depends the
reorganization of the old Wing party
JOHN LETCHER is the candidate of the
Democrats for Governor and wv L. Goo
GIN, nominated by what is termed an OPP
position Convention, is running against
him. just as it used to be in the days Of
Whiggery and Democracy, when the Wings
were proverbial for show and display of
their cards before the election, the friends
of GoGGIN think he has a good chance of
winning the race but as the people of Vir-
ginia do not change much in political mat
tiers, and are very rarely against Democracy,
it is more than probable that LErCHER will
be elected by 10000 to Ii, 900 votes WISE
was elected in furious contest led on by
Know Nothings, three or four years ago,
by about ten thousand mojarity; and it is
more than probable that the Opposition,
Instead of having gained on that vote, will
have lost largly.

Louisiana Democracy.

There was an immense meeting of the
democracy of New Oaleans held on the 4th;
at which resolutions were adopted strongly
condemnatory of the Slidell cabal and
their Vaccinations for the organization OF
the democratic party by monstrous inter
polations of the national creed. Col. Maun-
sci White. one of the democratic veterans
of the state, presided A most eloquent
address was made to the meeting by EX-
Senator Pierre Soule. He urged thor
from the Slidell gamblers the power they
used in the state only for the most corrup
purposes He urged them to adopt the
motto" State rights: The rights of the
states as united by the constitution; 6
Union of sovereigns in a confederacy o.
equals.
The meeting appointed an executive
committee to arrange the party for all the
elections Of the year.
This is a most significant movemen,
at the commercial metropolis Of the south
west. The Delta says of the meeting: = We
have never seen assembled on any party
occasion in this city, so much respectable
" and intellect, as was found at Odd Eel
lows Hall, nor have we seen anywher,
more intense enthusiasm and downright,
determination" 1t is the beginning of the
end of Slidell and corruption rule in Louis
lana.

republicans, they would still want six to
make majority, with all the free state

In the states of Arkansas, Florida, Del

nesota, Maryland Mississippi, North Car
olina Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and California, the democracy represented
in the late congress sixty-three districts
and will most certainly retain their con-
troll in all of them, excepting possibly
Minnesota, in which event they will Sc
cure sc, making in all III members lack
ing according to this estimate, eight of a
majority-being the same number the re-
publicans want
In the states of Maryland, North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee the South Americans rep
resented in the late congress thirteen dis
tricts; some of those districts will be
reclaimed by the democrats, doubtless
enough to give them a majority-State

CossrsrEScY-It has been a standing
imputation by the black republican prints
that Senator Douglas former wife was pos
sessed of landed estate in southern
state and was the owner of negroes living
thereon, which property has been inheri-
ted by her children. In the estimation of
these prints, these facts make Senator
Douglas stakeholder and southern in his
sympathies and interests, and disqualify
him as representative of a free state
We shall not quarrel with their logic at
this moment We shall rather employ
the like logic in a case of recent occur
renee. The black republican legislature
of New Jersey has just elected Mr.
Ten Eyck to the Office of United States
senator. 1t turns out that Mr.. Ten Eyck
is a Shareholder That is, he married q
southern lady who brought to him con-
siderable property, including negro slaves,
and of these slaves Mr.. Ten Eyck has
still the management According to black
republican logic these facts make Mr..
Ten Eyck a STAKEHOLDER and render him
southern in his sympathies and interests,
and disqualify him as the representative
OF a free state.-,Statc Register.

Horse Thieves.

About s o'clock, Thursday morning Mr..
F. w Mattocks, Deputy Sheriff at this
place, received news from Kendall county
that two boys had stolen a span of valua-
bic horses and went off with them in this
direction. Assisted by his brother, he i'm
mediately set TO work to ascertain if they
had been in this neighborhood, and soon
learned that they had crossed the ferry
here. Properly prepared and accompan-
led by his brother, he followed after them
and succeeded in keeping: on their track
until he overlook them two miles this side
of Lacon, where by a little clever strata
gem, he succeeded in securing both the
horses and thieves, and arrived at home
again by 10 o clock, p. NJ having rode -
miles That is what we call doug the
thing up in the right way, and if such Of
ficers were to be found in every town, horse
thieves would not carry on their business
with such impunity. We believe this is
the fifth instance within the last 2 or 3
years in which the Mattocks brothers havE
secured both thieves and the horses
The horses i'll this case We're very val,i-
| able, and were stolen from one Peter
Charles, who resides near Bristol, in Kane
