On Tuesday evening the mass convention of
the Republicans, white and black, in Washing
ton, made its nominations for city officers and
although the negroes out numbered the whites
FIVE to one, the latter claimed and obtained
every termination. Such is the hypocrisy Of the

The feeling entertained by the negroes to-

races would live amicably enough.

1t seems to us, says the Fincastle Herald, that
the duty of our people in the present emergency
is plain and palpable. We do not see any sense
of propriety in rushing into any party organiza-
ton or the adoption ofany platform, at present.
Let us not be in haste to commit ourselves to
anything and perhaps some of the evils I'M
pending over us may be avoided or removed.
Let us not, at least, anticipate the evils that
seem to be in store for us, but wait in patience,
and with calmness and fortitude, the develop
ments of the future. In the mean time let every
person who possibly can do so register and be
prepared to vote, as his reason and conscience
may dictate when the time comes. To register
is the present duty, and that should be attended
toby every one. 1t duty, because it is neces-
sary to the preservation of the little liberty we
have left; and we owe it alike to ourselves and
to those who are disfranchised. No true man
will neglect this duty.

making peace seemed to be on the increase

The discharge of Ex-Presdent Davis on bail,
until the November term of the U. S. District
court for the Richmond District, will be hailed
with profound satisfaction throughout the
Southern States, and we have no doubt will be
greeted with certain degree Of relief by the
vast majority of the Northern people A wide
spread sentiment prevails that there will, in
fact, be no further demand upon Mr.. Davis, but
that noue psoseqm will be entered at the No
vcmber term and that he will be permitted to
enjoy perfect freedom. This sentiment may be
merely based upon the exuberant anticipations
which bis admission to bail has inspired; but
there are many Rsost excellent legal reasons
which may be brought to bear in bringing about
so greatly desired consummation.

Riots in the South.

The teachings of the Radicals who have been
addressing the negroes in various parts of the
South are beginning to bear their fruits, and
have appeared In Mobile, Ala, On Tuesday
last, whilst the Radical Judge Kelly was speak
ing, three men were killed-one white and two
negroes. A number were wounded among
them one policeman. A large majority Of the
shots were fired by negroes as but few Of the
whites present were armed On Monday, the
day before the riot at Mobile, serious riot also
occurred at Brownsville, Tennessee Three ne
groes and two white men were shot, but none
fatally.
If the Radical incendiaries be permitted to
continue their infammatory appeals to the ne
groes we may expect to hear Of serious riots in
all parts of the South. These speakers are
leading the negroes to their doom.
The Richmond Times says that the 'profes-
sional agitators have been left almost without
pretext for agitation, and the INSCRIPTIONS lead
ers Of the extreme Radicals have been filed
with dismay at the indications of the decadence
of their power As these malignant enemies of
peace and order must perish with the base pas
sions which have given them strength, it is per-
fectly evident that they have determined to
goad the people Of the South to deeds of folly
or violence by turning loose their most vituper
ative and incendiary orators in our midst
Their object IS to ecctte people to tunaults
and riots, and thus justify harsher legislation
than any acllich has get characterized Congress.
This is the evident object of Kelly's mission,
and it is most deeply to be regretted that he
has been to some extent successful in Mobile.
These riots do US incalculable damage, and
in his African Church speech, Mr.. Greeley ad-
mitted that the great Radical triumph Of 1866
was mainly due to the New Orleans and Mem
phis riots
The release of Mr. Jefferson Davis, on bail,
will, We trust, be the end of proceedings in his
case. His protracted imprisonment, without
trial, has not looked we'll abroad or at home.
and was, as every body knows, much objected
to and censured, by many of the leading Radi-
Gals at the North and by those most warmly
opposed to the course of the South, and to the
effort to establish an Independent confederacy.
Horace Greeley, Gerritt Smith, and many other
prominent Union men, have been constant and
earnest in their efforts to procure the release
which has at last been effected by process I'M
der the law and in the {. S. Court They de-
serve credit for their humanity and their indie
pendence of expression and action in relation to
the matter.

In answer to hope that he would soon visit
Petersburg, Mr.. Davis replied to some friends
that nothing would do his heart more good !;
that he would, indeed, be gratifed to visit all
parts of the South, but the peculiar circum-
stances under which he labored forbade such a
qualification now. He thought it unwise to
tempt popular demonstrations in his behalf,
and he feared that his friends, acting upon the
generous impulses that had always distinguished
their conduct towards him, would do him too
much honor, and thus provoke unjust criticism
and excite bitter feelings among those who could
not sympathise with them.
