the recent frat oolored vote In Virginia: "Tho
voting yesterday upon tho question whether Rich
mond should subscribe q, GOO 900 toward the con-
struction of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
was orderly, sufficiently animated, and by q large
majority in the right direction. It was the frat
time that our colored oitizens hRve exercised tho
right OF suffrage, and we accept as an auspicinus
fact that their votes wore cast upon great ouea-
tion OF peaceful development rather than upon the
heated aud, in tho main, unproftablo issues Of
party politics. They cannot do better than to
r9alizo at all times tho fact that thoir inIoress
