hobby; politically they are arrayed against
their best frcnds-the Southern whites. The
success Of few negroes in obtaining Office
under the Government, has inspired a belief
that they all have claim upon the dominant
party, no matter what their merits or capa-
bility may amount to. In the State of Vir-
ginia, for instance, they cannot be made to
believe that the power they now WELD through
the ballot-box is not perpetual. Our most
eminent and far-seeing orators have cndeav-
ored in vain to open their eyes to the fallacy
Of their dream of everlasting sway ovor the
Caucasian race. FFhey are ip full belief that
the day is at hand when they, the chosen of
God, shall triumph over all other people, and
rule their former masters.

"A BRACE OF SHE WILp-cArs-The Rich
mend Dispatch Of Tuesday gives an account
Of a tragic duel, Or fight to the death between
two negro women named Julia Ann Gill and
Ella Woodson-jealousy the cause. Julia
challenged Ella to mortal combat With clubs !;
the challenge was accepted, and they proceed
ed together to a glen and began the fight in
truly savage style. After long wrestlc,
Ella, though the stouter, was thrown beneath
her antagonist. She however got Julia's FIN
ger. in her mouth and bit it to the bone-the
latter then seized her by the throat with her
free hand and choaked her until the last
breath left her body, after which she knock
ed her in the head and all was over. While
she was attempting to conceal the body in a
ditch, negro man came along and gave the
alarm. She was ares cd and plead self de-

Example.

1t is as natural for people to look up to
those who occupy high positions, as it is for
a child to look up to its parent. The stan
dard of morality ought to be fixed by those
in power-for it matters not how wrong the
doings of ruler may be, his admirers are
sure to think that he is right. 1t is an old
adage that kings can do no wrong"-but,
we have ample proof, in modern times, that
the maxim is a lie Theatrical exhibitions
now days, are monstrously degenerate
Drama, in its purity is good institution,
but the lewd exhibitions of the stage at pres
cnt should meet the hearty condemnation Of
every true moralist. While Gen. Grant was
in New York he patronizcd but one place of
amusement; he, with his family, by their
presence, encouraged the vilest exhibition
that the loose government of New York al
lows. An exhibition which brings the blush
of shame even to the checks Of manhood
The N. Y. Tribune gives the following des-
cription Of the entertainment which suits
the taste of the President of the United
States:
"It is rcvcl of cyprians, on the money Of
prosperous counterjumpers.
''Thc bare-legged women who tramp over
the boards in burlesque, and kick their heels
in the can-can, hayc-with here and there an
exception-no more title to be regarded as
members Of the dramatic profession than
they have to be regarded as members of the
French Academy. They are sort of fun
gus upon the stage, and the fungus has now
become excessive and intolerable We do
not mean to say that, in all this flock of pan
tomimes, burlesques and ballets, existent OF
yet to come, features of merit may not be
found. Nonsense. has its graccs and its
rights, as well as sense. But it is ncedful to
! remind theatrical managers that there is such
an institution as the Drama, for the develop
mcnt Of which theatres exist, and that intel
ligenee, taste, refinement and morality-mat
i tiers of great import to the welfare of society
have rights that theatrical creed cannot
safely violate. Licentiousness and reckless
| thirst for gain have gone very far, of late
days, to ruin the American stageas vehicle
of art and school Of action and strong
measures are justifable to combat the evil.

The EMANCIPATION SoCIETY.-Thc ne
groes of Virginia can now understand that
the Conservatives constitute in reality an
emancipation society. We have destroyed
the power of the loyal leagues and eman-
cipated the negroes who were so recently
nothing but slaves to WELLS and his
unprincipled following of carpet.baggers
and scalawags. Every negro must now
realize that if WELLS had been elected
he would have been bound hand and foot
to the conquering chariot of these pes
tilent leagues, and would not have been per-
mitted to vote except as they dictated,
whereas as WALKER was elected the negroes
will in consequence thereof be allowed
hereafter to vote as they please.
The triumph of the Conservatives was
truly victory of all the people, white and
black. The ignorant and insolent negroes
would not have known how to bear success,
and consequently would, if WELLS had been
elected, have caused much trouble in the
community.
Let us MI rejoice over so good result.
The emancipationists are popular in Nir-
ginia. ----------- ...
