A New ELEcTIoS.-It is said that the
leaders Of the defeated party in Virginia in
tend to apply for new election, on the
freely employed by the friends of Colonel
Walker. These charges are utterly and en-
tirely false but if the defeated party want
a new election we are perfectly willing it
should be given to them for if given to
them they will not only be beaten forty
thousand, but they will be beaten one hun
dred thousand! In the late election 8 large
number Of colored people voted for our
candidates, and almost every white man
save few " carpet-baggers." But in a new
election the colored people would vote
almost as a unit for our ticket. and sweep
the whole opposition from the face of the
earth.-Lynchburg Lntelhgencer.
A RADICAL NEGRO ATTACKS a CONSERVE
T1vE.-Early Sunday morning Radical ne
gro named Bill Palmer went to the house
of Conservative colored man named
Frank Hancock. living on the Amherst side
of the river. for the purpose of giving him
Il whipping. Hancock had previously heard
of the threats made by his Radical enemy,
and seeing him approaching, prepared to
defend himself. When Palmer came up
Hancock was ready for the fray, and pitched
in with big hickory, feathering his Wells
brother until he cried "nuff ," he then let
him 20, and the fellow left. In the after
noon the Wellsite returned to the Walker
mans house for the purpose OF renewing
the battle, and they soon locked horns again.
AS in the first fight, the Conservative again
woolled his antagonist, and this time not
only thrashed him soundly, but afterwards
pitched him over high embanknent of
the Orange railroad, near which the fight
occurred. Bruised and bleeding, the dis
comfted Radical took to his scrapers, hay
ing arrived at the conclusion that Walker
men were hard fellows to tackle, and he'd
better adopt Grants peace motto in the
future.-Lynchburg Ne1rs.
AN OUTRAGE.-We learn that the black
william GrubbS, who shot Mr.. Mercer, sec
tion-lnastcr on the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad, near Mount Airy, and his father
and brother, accomplices in the brutal deed,
were baied out of Jail on Saturday last by a
Radical magistrate of Wythe named james
Hurt, aoih,out euen hearing Of the case.
The principal was bailed in $500 and his &C,
completes in $500 each. An act of this kind
by justice of the peace is an outrage upon
society at large, and is but an invitation to
murderers to pursue their bloody work in
the assurance that they will 60 unwhipt OF
Justice. The man who did it is not a whit
better than the mlrderous scoundrels who
he turned loose upon the community in ut
ter disregard of all law, and if he had his
deserts would receive the same punishment
they so richly merit.-Lynchbug Ne'rs.
