the Richmond papers put forth SO
many inquiries for white house
servants hambermaids, cooks,
SC. Why is this? We have been
used to the colored seryants-our
people have no prejudices against
them--haye always been kind to
them-understand their manner
of work and their dispositions
and can get along with them re-
markably well. Then, what's the
matter?
Wen tell you:
This city has been kept in tur-
MOL for four solid years with
every sort of sign and clamor of
negro combination and prepare
ton in hostility to aohite people. For
that is it! a hostility which seeks
to take away from whites all right
to hold an Office of trust and profit
IN the Government, and to make
them taxpayers only, while the
negroes and the few whites whose
counsels they follow shall hold all
the offices, and divide the spoils
accumulated out of the taxes paid
by the Ostracised whites.
This is hostility so serious and
so injurious that it could hardly
be more abhorrent if it threatened
life itself. The assailants are OBJ
trusive and clamorous. Their
barbarous shouts penetrate every
dwelling and disgust or alarm
every white person in the city.
This is engenderihg aversion to
the colored people: a disposition
to employ whites with many PEG
pie. 1t is gradually widening the
breach between the races, and it
is no wonder.
The blacks are to blame. What
does their war on their own white
people profit thema What will
the plundering Adventures who
mislead them do for theme What
will compensate them for the wan
ton sacrifice of the kind and gen.
tie relations which existed be-
tween them and the native whites
of Virginia, who own the land
and control the employment of
labor in Virginia? Their war is
outrageously unjust and brutal,
and so far from being necessary to
their security and happiness must
work injuriously to the prosperity
order, and contentment, of the
community; and they cannot be-
happy or thrifty unless the whole
people are harmonious and pros
perous- Richmond Dispatch.

When theft, or oppression, or
perjury, or sacrilege, have laid the
foundation and reared the house
then the curse of God creepeth in
between the walls and ceilings,
and lurketh close between. the
stones and timber; and as a fret
ting moth or canker, insensibly
knaweth asunder the pins and
joints of the building, till it have
unframed it, and resolved it into
a rninous heap; from which mis-
chief there is no remedy, no pre-
seryation from it but one, and
that is free and speedy restitution.

The Georgia papers pay elo-
quent tributes to Colonel, r. w.
Flournoy, the Democratic member
of the Legislature who was muir
dered recently by a negro. The
deceased gentleman graduated
with distinguished honors at Ogle-
thrope University in 1860, when
only eighteen years old, and much
against his will was nominated
and elected to the State Legisla-
ture in 1868. The negro who
killed him had been saved from
the penitentiary by the gratuitous
services of Col. Flournoy, as an
advocate, when this negro was
under indictment and trial for
crime. Col. Flournoy was buried
with Masonic honors, and a feel
ing and appropriate eulogy was
delivered over his remains by
Col. Evans. The people were
overwhelmed with grief at this
deplorable occurrence.
