10 The Richmond Wing says that " it is
a melancholy fact that larger amount of mob
violence has been developed in Virginia since
the secession movement began than in the
whole previous lifetime of the State. There
has been manifested an intolerance Of spirit
never before known; and what is more, such
intolerance is evidently on the increase, and
bodies no good to law and order and to the
peace and prosperity of the citizens of the
State; and if not checked and repressed, and
that without delay, it will lead to riot, reyo-
luton and fratcrnal bloodshed"
