POLITICAL NOTES.

The Freeman's journal regards Gen.
Rosecraus as a man Of sense, and
thinks he will show it by declining the
nomination for Governor of Ohio.
The Columbus Ohio Journal thinks
that if the peace Democrats can vote
for Rosecrans this year they will be
able to vote next year for Phil. Sheri-
dan or Ben. Wade for Governor of
Ohio. r
The Pottsyille Miners Journal says
the Democracy of Schuylkill and Berks
are grievously disappointed. They
wanted Hancock, and Packers nomina-
ton falls like wet blanket on them.
The Beading Gazette (Democrat) pre-
dicted defeat if Hancock should not be
nominated. Coming events cast their
shadows before"
Illinois this year elects no members
Of the Legislature, but delegates to the
Constitutional Convention instead. The
women suffrage people are working
hard to get their principles into the
convention, and the temperance party
will vigorously contest the selection OF
delegates on prohibitory grounds.
The next State elections will be in
Kentucky, August 2 Alabama, August
3; Tennessee, August S; Montana, Aug.
TO-
There has been no session of the
Iowa Legislature since April, 1869;
consequently the fifteenth amendment
has not been adopted, as reported

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
In the recent State election in Virginia
the conservative Republicans, so termed,
have elected their candidates by major
tty of nearly thirty thousand. We are
well satisfied with the result. The lead
ers of the Wells party have all along
acted in a selfish and arbitrary manner,
and are personally obnoxious to many
sincere Republicans. Gilbert G. Walker,
the Governor elect, is Republican
The platform on which he is elected is
one universal suffrage and equal rights.
On the same ticket with him colored
men are elected to both branches of the
General Assembly. President Grant gave
his powerful influence to the Walker
ticket, believing that the adherents OF
Wells would not be Wise or safe rulers
for Virginia.
The victory is emphatically Republic
can. True, democrats voted for Walker.
But when democrats are brought to
stand on the Republican platform, go to
the polls with colored men, and vote for
colored men, rs General Robert E. Lee
did on Tuesday the 9Th, it is one of the
graniest Republican trinmphs of the
age. The whole people of Virginia voted
the Republican ticket. When South
Carolina democracy lifts itself out of the
depths of stubborn ignorance aud pref
udice upon the conservative Republican
platform of Virginia, it may cling to the
name of democracy, or call itself what
it pleases, we shall not mourn at any
triumphs it may win.
In this result we see promise of better
things, 1t is the completest acknowledge
ment of the equal political rights of all
men ever yet given on this continent.
In every Southern State, except perhaps
South Carolina and Georgia, the democ-
racy will accept the full Republican the
Dry. When this comes, peace comes,
harmony prevails all parties, being
pledged to equal rights and full justice,
will accord them to all men without
stint or snarling. Then will come COM
nan. on--i -Sa,inatin,>, i-.telii5ene Irduo-
try, steady thrift, and genuine pros
perity.

duced to look at the matter in this
light, they could not fail to see the
petty, deceitful spirit of those who are
endeavoring to take advantage of their
untutored minds, and are playing up on
their simple vanity for selfish purposes.
There are some who no doubt do see or
suspect the hollowness of these efforts
at forcing "social equality" but it will
be some time before the mass become
aware of the cheat that has been put
upon them. Washington Express

NO EQUALITY.

1t should be known to every black
man that social equality is not thing
that can be forced. 1t is matter of
choice. 1t isregulated by the subtle
influences of the mind. People arrange
themselves into circles and classes ae-
cording to talent, refinement, taste,
&c. And it is quite certain that 100
years hence the unrefned or otherwise
Objectionable persons of either color,
will be as utterly excluded from good
and refined society as at present. Pre-
JUDGE operates largely in making up
society, and the prejudice of color is
quite as valid an objection with some as
any other.
In the matter of prejudice, we can
sec no reason why the black people
should not feel tho same objection to
mingling with the whites as the latter
do with them. They have a perfect
right to feel pride of race and color,
and if true to themselves they will re-
pudiate Mayor Bowen's truculent
scheme, and insist upon their exclu-
siveness in the schools and elsewhere.
They have been dependent upon the
whites too long. Let them assert their
independence, rise aud stand by their
own eKertions, founding a society and
establishing position which they may
make as exclusive as possible, and of
which they may be as proud as any
white circle in the land. If they al
low themselves to be foisted and forced
at every step toward social position
they will never reach any considerable
eminence, because such elevation will
not be based upon innate force or re-
fnement of character.
If the colored people could be in

TEE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.

TEE CONDITION OF THE SOUTH.
A prominent Government official,
who is perfectly competent to speak
upon the subject, estimates that the
South has at least $40,000,000 in
money He says that section Of coun-
try is better off now than it was at any
tine before or during the war. Before
the war the planters generally antici-
pated their crops and borrowed money
upon them, thus deeply involving
themselves, but it is not so now 1t
will be remembered that last year the
planters were unable to borrow, and
their failure to do so has Injured to
their benefit. Their crops we're much
better than was supposed, and they
were enabled to sweep away old debts,
and have now at their com mand almost
full years profits. This information
is based UPON facts that have been
evolved by investigations recently made
in the Treasury Department.
Mss The fredericksburg Herald calls
attention to the fact, that in every coun-
tv in the State, Walker leads the Con-
servative ticket, and this too despite the
fact that in some counties the most
popular men had been nominated for
Congress, the State Senate and House of
Delegates. The other significant fact
is, that not only in every county, but as
far as we have observed in every cleo
