the bargains of individual aborers they serve useful
purposes. But in molesting non mem bers they yio-

If the people at distance are surprised
at our rejoicings In Virginia over our great

That Is the meaning Of our rejoicing. .t
Northern men and natives, Republicans
and those known ss Conservatives, white
men and colored men, participated alike In
the ovation, and mingled their vices togeth-

When the procession reached the Ex-

up the whole space in front aud around the
hotel. Colenel Walker retired from the
sight Of the crowd for awhile, only to reap

tanned from the fact that the SESTER patty
has "turned somersault." They have re-
ally been driven 10 promise that, IL respec-
table citizens will only vote with them,
those who pay the taxes will be permitted
to have some little voice In the administra-

over the other Radical section, led by

ples by promising even that. SENrER Is de-
nounced by his party opponents for having

The most important, as it was the
most quiet and orderly, election ever
held in the State has vindicated the
people and crowned their efforts with
the most signal triumph known in the
politics of Virginia, 1t has swept from
their, positions the hordcs Of vampires
that preyed upon the honor and inter
ests of the State; it has stripped the
dark ensign of piracy from its staff, and
filled the hearts of gallant people
with rejoicings; it has rebuked spirit
of oppression and si.enced the myriad
concourse Of calumniators that spotted
the fair fame of brave and gallant men,
who rest 10 unknown graves, but whose
spirits have crossed over the river into
the shade Of beautiful trees. The vic.
tory is complete and final. The entire
State ticket, majority of fifty on joint
ballot in the Legislature, and six men,
bers of Congress are some Of the fruits
of this great victory. A feeling Of
peace aud good will pervades the whole

be over $4,000. a-8
