The Duty of the Hour.

With the Norfolk Trginian, We feel that
''the supreme duty of the hour is to preserve
the public liberties. This is no empty phrase,
no idle declaration. 1t means escape from ne
gro rule based on the arrogant assumption that
the true white men Of the South have no rights
which need be respected. It means escape
from ruinous taxes, disquaifying oaths, negro
police, prescription in trade as well as politics.
equal (?) seats in public schools, hotels, thea
tres public vehicles, and churches. The public
liberties, then, include great deal, fellow-citi
zens, and the man who fails to understand this
truth is indeed sanguine, or insane. We beg
you to run over the list of taxes, oaths and 9TH
er cruel expressions which the people of West
Virginia and Tennessee groan under. In the
latter State, the negroes, after having taken on
several occasions, forcibe possession Of the trains
have just been authorized by law to ride with
white people in all public conveyances. Now,
when the scum of population, the low whites
and the ignorant blacks get possession of the
Legislature, what earthly chance could there
be for decent citizen to escape their oppres-
sion? There can be but one answer to this. =
A white man or conservative negro would find
himself the object at once of plumber and OPP
preston. We all admit this. We all feel this
Hence we say that the supreme duty of the
hour is for us to preserve the public liberties.

Christmas Greeting.

Though, before the dawn of tomorrow S
Christmas morn will purple the Eastern sky,
the Editor of this journal will be "o'er the
mountains and far away yet, through its col
umns, he takes great pleasure in rendering to
its many generous readers the kindly and friend
ly compliments Of the season-aoishing each and
all a ''mery Christmas and happy New Year. :"
For tortyJfve years this journal has expressed
its kindly greetings to its numerous readers
No paper has better reasons for expressing
kindly feelings for its readers, for none has a
list of better subscribers. We hope that they
will live to enjoy many years Of health, peace,
happiness and prosperity, and that their cares
and troubles may diminish as their years in
crease. Could our wishes be granted, the ears
of the readers Of this journal would be greeted
for many years more with that grand Christ
mas anthem, which, ION Christmas day, be-
ginning at Jerusalem in the Church of the Sc
pulchre Of our Lord, has travelled with the star
that stood above his cradle, from region to re-
gion, from communion to communion, and from
tongue to tongue, till it has comprised the land
and sea, and returned to melt away upon the
sides of Mount Zion.''

In reference to the great Conservative Con-

In speaking of the plan of organization

ganization for the overthrow of negro suffrage

great movement which their representatives
have thus inaugurated and the evils which now
threaten to destroy their happiness and to sap

The Convention Holiday.

It will be seen, by reference to the proceed
ings Of Wednesday of the Constitutional Con
vention, called, that that mongrel body has
voted itself recess of two weeks, during which
time each member will receive eight dollars per
day, whilst doing nothing but warming their
ebo-shins before blazing Christmas fires. They
will receive $1l2 each, or in the aggregate $ll,-
no, for doing nothing, while the country is in
poverty and want, and people are starving for
food. This does not include clerks, sergeant
at-arms door-keepers, and pages, whose pay
will add smartly to this large aggregate.
We have no doubt that the people of the
State would be willing to double their per diem
If they aoould stag at home all the time
P. S.-We infer from the following statement
of the Dispatch that Gen. Schofed will not al
low the per diem to be paid for the time of the
recess. That journal says:
eve have the highest authority for stating
that no per diem will be paid to members of
the Convention during the interim caused by
the adjournment of that body for the holidays
neither will they be allowed mileage

Our great aim in the South is to escape from

Lewis Lindsey, the colored man who recently

Esq, Clerk Of the several Courts in Caroline,

The Fredericksburg News says that Hunni
cutt the leader of the ultra Radicals in Virgil

what they are.
