YOU DON'T THINK so.

You don think the negro Constitu.
tioa will be forced upon Virginia. he
truth, we suspect, Us that you DOM
think about it at all. Nor can we blame
you much. A man must sit down, put
bis head between his haBds and press
his temples hard, to keep out Other
thoughts, in order TO realize the mon.
strous, the almost incredible outrage
which has been done in Virginia.
Words cannot tell the whole of this
great wrong. Imagination cannot pic
turc it.
But what has been done, is as moth
ing compared to what is about to be
done, and will surely be done, if We dc
not rise to man to prevent it. Even
then, the issue is doubtful for the
wretches who tyr anize over'us have the
power to paralyse our best efforts, and
we know, only too well and bitterly,
that they will use it. Nay, they must
use it. No choice is left them; for if they
fail to carry the Southern States as a
VIII III chSJ ASl AbbCAAy
and their perdition is sealed.
1t is matter of political, perhaps of
bodily, life and death with them to car
ry this State. More surely still, is it a
matter of political and bodily life and
death with us, that they shall not car
ry it. 1t can be carried only by fraud
and by the aid of negroes. But we out
number the negroes, and if we turn out
our whole strength we can outvote
them. And if we watch the polls mar
rowly and keep our own tally, we can
prevent fraud.
Don't you think you had better think
about these things9 Don't you think
YOU had better keep thinking about them
until you are fully alive to the near and
awful danger which hangs over you and
yoar family? We think so, and II you
don't think so, we pity You, for your
thinking powers are no longer of SER
vice to you. You are an idiot.

OUR ORANGE GIRLS.

a correspondent Of tho Lynchburg
Nercs, writing from this place, says:
The ladies of the Episcopal Church
gave sumptuous dinner to- day for the
purpose of raising funds for the accom-
plishment ofsome eommendable UNDER
taking. Have you never heard OF the
beauty of Orange county ladies'? dare
say you have, for it has become proven
bal. And with them, beauty and in
telligence go hand in hand. Judging
from what we witnessed and expert
enced to-day we give it rs our candid
opinion that these fair creatures deserve
notoriety for qualities other than those
enumerated. If not good cooks, they
certainly and Enthusiastically are the best
caterers we have ever seen.
We with our friend DR.. s. were late
arriving, but eatables were so profuse
that we could not help calling to mind
that description of a wedding feast an
hundred years ago; true there were no
such things as Violins, pipes, etc., dis
cOurslng music rs was the case on the
interesting occasion above named, but
sir, we had the musical prattle of a score
of as exquisite young damsels as one
would wish to look upon and We shall
ever remember this festive occasion as
one of the pleasantest episodes of our
life.
The correspondent of the NeicS ought
to have stayed to see the tableaux. He
would have bcheld beauty enough to
make his head swim and his hair curl.

P A gentleman of this place who
has recently been in the county OF
Goochland, says that as he was passing
along the road his attention was at
tracted to a unique team hitched to a
pillow in a field hard by. There were
an old negro man and a black girl, all
striving to "speed the plow," whilst be-
tween the handles, giving directions -
its course was another negro girl. :"
The gentleman halted and addressing
the old negro, ascertained that he was
the father of the two girls. Ask
ing the old man if he did not want
to buy horse, he replied it would cost
one hundred dollars and dat was de
matter he didn't hab any one hundred
dollars. an-.

THE UNIVERSAL. RoTTENNEss.

This country is rotten to the core. :
Things are openly done every day that
have never before been dreamed of, and
men are in our highest public stations
who better deserve cells in our Peniten-
tiaries. Eight years OF Radical ascen-
dlncy have done in America what it re-
quired centuries to effect in some of the
dcspotic countries of Europe. There
are stages OF crime, and the last stage
that of insensibility to shame-has been
reached by the controlling politicians in
Americl. What commenced in Puri-
tanism has ended in universal corrup-
ton. Richmond Wing.

HON. JOHN LYNCH
ON THE SHIPPING INTERESTS.

Mr.. Speaker, I presume Il Is hardly neeesss-
ry to urge upon the attention Of this HOUSE
the great importance, the great national I'm
portance, OF taking Immediately some steps 10
regain the position which before the rebellion
We held a. great maritime power.
The truth Of that wise saying of one OF Eng
lands most sagscious statesman, "that they
who control the commerce OF the world
control the wealth Of the world, and they
who control the wealth OF the world control
the world ITSELF" Is, think, too we'll appreci-
ated here to need any argument from me to %
cure recognition. Sir. / take 1t that 1t 10 only
necessary to ascertain what measures arc need
ed to restore our lost commerce. and with II
our lost advantage In the race for commercial
supremacy In order TO secure their adoption.
While do not believe In the policy Of forcing
into existence interests by governmental aid
which can never stand alone, and which can
only be sustained by the constant and continu'
al support Of the government, l do believe u
to be the true policy OF every nation to ard.
protect, and foster every great national Inter
est that can by such protection and fostering
care attain . position where 1t can sustain IL
self.
That the commercial interest OF this country
can become self-sustaining would not admit OF
doubt. even II the fact had not been demon
abounding In oil the material for the construo-
ton OF ships, possessing Q vast extent OF sea-
coast. indented with the finest bays and har-
bors to be found In the world, that produces
and consumes every article known to COM
merce, and IL inhabited by as hardy and enter
prising Q race Of men as ever peopled any
country, has surely oil the elements OF = great
commercial nation. II Is only necessary to re-
fer to the statistical tables TO- show the COM
manding position We had attained IS . COM

through which We have just passed. The fol-
lowing table shows the relative increase OF
