What the Negroes Want.

We have repeatedly said that those who make
loudest professions of friendship for the negroes
are, practically, their worst enemies. We can
not impress it too often upon the minds Of this
class that the best friends, and, in fact, the only
true friends they have, are the people of the
Southern States
When the negroes ask for bread, the Radicals
give them a stone, and when they ask for fish,
give them a serpent The negroes want en-
ployment, bread, clothing, fuel and shelter.
They don't desire the right of suffrage but few
would exercise it if granted.
In the language Of the Richmond Whig Il:
is due to the negroes of the South to say that il
left to themselves they would not concern with
politics They are thinking more about bread
and meat than about voting The resolutions
and addresses which we so often see in the news
papers demanding suffrage and equality, and
which purport to emanate from them, are not
theirs. They are the productions Of the white
agitators and incendaries who go about drum
ming them up to attend the meetings they call
and when they succeed in getting handful to-
gether they read the resolutions and addresses
they have prepared, and give them to the world
as the productions Of the negroes. The negroes
know and care no more about what they contain
than they do about the problem in Euclid

Fair DE- Dinner.

81 ASSOC1AI1O N.
y FAIR will be held, and public Dinner
gsven by the ladies of this association in the town
Of Staunton, on the Fourth Monday of March.
1861 with the view of providing further means
for the prosecution of the work in which they
have long been engaged, in which much has been
accomplished, but where very much remains to
be done 1t needs not to commend this holy
work to the sympathles of our people An un-
desecrated grave is poor return for the sacrifice
of life; yet, this is all we can now accord. Let
this be cheerfully given. Hitherto the ladies in
the country have had small opportunity of CO.
operating in this work. Money only has been
asked, and, in many instances, this they had not
to spare. Now contributions solicited of
such kind that each may bestow something
Everything that can be available in furnishing
the dinner; every article of use of ornament to
supply the tables of the Fair will be needed, and
will be of avail in swelling the proceeds Send
-four, meat poultry, butter, eggs, produce of all
kinds. Send clothing, yarn socks,-in short,
everything that each one, in his circumstances,
can spare. Send articles Of use where it can be
done, rather than such merely ornamental.
Let the ladies in each neighborhood associate and
prepare contribution and send it to the Associ-
alton at Staunton some ten days previous to the
fourth Monday in March. This fair will be Kept
open from day to day until all the articles con-
tributed are disposed of. Jan. 22-td

The negro Population.

1t seems from the reports of the Commission
ers of the Revenue that there has been an as
tonishing diminution in the negro population OF
this State since the year 1860 In reference to
these reports of the Commissioners of the Rev
enue, the Richmond Dispatch says that, in
1860, the whole negro population, including
free and slave, within the present limits OF Vlr-
GINA, was 53l ,O0O Comparing this with the
amount of the same population in February, we
discover that there has been loss in the num-
bers of blacks in Virginia of upwards OF 1907
900! IF their diminution has continued in the
same ratio since the lst Of February as from
1860 to that time, the number Of negroes now
in Virginia cannot be much over 100000 This
is terrible result of emancipation to these peo-
ple.''
1t would seem that the ultimate fate of the
African race in this country is foreshadowed by
that of the Indian The bell which announced
the emancipation Of the negroes tolled the knell
of their hopes of peace, plenty and contentment
in future

Escutcheon of West Virginia.

In noticing the fact that an appropriation had
been made by Congress for painting the es-
cutcheon of the State of West Virginia upon
the panels of the ceiling Of the House of Rep
resentatiyes, the Charlottesville Chronicle is
curious to know what will be the escutcheon
and motto of this war-born State, =" and suggests
that, ''as it has been determined that every
thing (eccept the debt shall be divided between
the two States, why not divide the old coat of
arms and motto too? As we are denied fire
arms let US keep at least the picture of the wo-
man with spear, while they take the man ~
ing on the ground. Let us retain the glorious
old Isle Semper,' whilst they, with some fit
ness appropriate the ''Tyrannis."
If that State should not adopt the suggestion
of our contemporary, We would suggest another
motto which might be considered appropriate

The Power Of Pardon.

In the platform Of asserted principles, pub
lshed some time since by Hon. John NJ. Bolts
with an air of undoubting confidence, he main
tanned that the pardons granted by President
johnson were null and void, as he had noright
to pardon in advance of trial and conviction.
The Supreme Court of the United States have
recently decided the contrary. That august Ju-
dicial tribunal have decided that the power OF
the President ''extends to every offence known
to the law, and may be exercised at any time
after its commission, either before legal pro
ceedings are taken, or during their pendency,
or after conviction and Judgment.
