There is a Difference.

There are still some parties
who ann ounce an intention to
take no part in the coming cleo
ton, and who claim that with
the adoption OF an expurgated
Constitution, there is substan-
TALLY but little difference in the
positions assumed by the two
candidates Wells and Walker.
With his nomination Gilbert
G. Walker announced plainly
and Enthusiastically where he
stood, and that he stood upon
the broad platform of universal
amnesty and universal suffrage.
He has not made speech in
| which he has not reiterated
these principles, and avowed
his willingness to stand or fall
upon them. In a letter written
to a political friend Governor
Wells intimated that, under
certain circumstances, he might
consent to the.rejection Of the
test-oath and disqualification
clauses. AS a candidate, how
ever, he has never made any
such declaration, nor has a
single speech been made by
any of the Radical orators in
which their hearers have not
been urged to vote for the Con-
stitution as it. is. There has
not as yet been an indication
from the Radical party that
they would he willing to have
the Constitution in any way
altered; nor is there any reason
to believe that such alteration
would be acceptable to the par
ty Or perfectly satisfactory to
it's candidate. Under these cir
cumstances it is hard to see
how thinking men eau claim
that there is little or no differ
ence in the positions assumed
by the two candidates. One
acts from conviction, from
principle and from sincere de-
sire to show his fellow citizens
that as he has identified him
self with them, is devoted tc
the success and advancement Of
their material interests, as he
stands with Virginians or falls
with them, so is he anxious te
secure for them that restoration
TO the enjoyment ofthe elective
franchise and other privileges
Of citizenship which are sc
conducive if not essential t.
such Jealous work as has Vir-
ginia's material welfare ano
Improvement for its object
Gilbert G.. Walker has Virgil
MAS prosperity ever before
him; not nominated by any
political party, he has no party
ties to fetter him, mo party obi
gators tofulfil, no party friends
to conciliate. He desires to Sc
cure their newly acquired right
to one portion Of his fellow
citizens, to restore their los
rights to the other portion, ant
he asks both to unite and labo

ARREST OF NEGROES IMPLICATED IN THE
MURDER OF Mr. ROBERT P. SUaGs. "A
special telegram to the Charleston Ne,os,
dated Florence, juno 10. says:
d It will be remembered that Cyrus
Coachman, the negro hung at Darling
ton, yesterday, for the murder OF Robert
P. Suggs, (white) on the 10th of January.
1868, confessed that Sim Evans aud
Charlie Howe, {negro witnesses for the
State against Conchm man, and who, as
deputy sherifrs arrested him. organized
the partylthat killed! Suggs and robbed
his store. As soon as the confession was
made Governor Scott was telegraphed to
for Instructions. He ordered the ne
groes to be arrested at once. Accord.
ingly, last night. constable arrested Sim
Evans at his house here, aud then went
to Howe's house, where Howe was found
lying on the floor asleep. The constable
aroused him, and stated that he wanted
him to 60 to Darlington. Howe replied,
.'I've just been dreaming of Darlington; !;
l am ready to go with You" 1t is
thought that there is sufficient evidence
to hang both negroes.

in an exchange the following item of TO-
reign news:

same evening at London aud at Dover,
