There is considerable complaint on the part
of the RAIDS because of General Stoneman S re
fusal, so far, to remove the old sheriffs, and
fill their places with scallawhackers and carpet
sackers. His reasons for his action are per-
fectly transparent Within the past ten days,
100000 have been paid as interest upon the
State debt. He does not want this pleasant
operation spoiled by appointing men who will
appropriate all the revenues from collection Ito
their own uses inchester Times 80
Z The negro is not the white mans equal, and
no attempt to force him upon the white man,
either at the ballot box, or in the jury box, or
in the halls Of legislation, or in camp or barracks,
can ever be successful. Bad feeling and blood
shed will follow all such attempts. - Valley

The types frequently play fantastic tricks. +"
In the letter of the Editor, published last week,
they made him say that, if the negroes could
have the prescieucc to foresee the disastrous eff
fects which would ultimately result to them from
their exercise of the franchise they would
rather be clothed with the spirit of Nessus than
with the privilege of franchise when he had
written the ''shirt' of Nessus This metamor-
phosis-the transmutation of shirt into spirit
exceeds any ever conceived by the fertile brain
or described by the facile pen of Ovid.

SAD ACCIDENT.

A sad and fatal accident occurred on Kerr s
Greek in Rockbridge county, about miles from
Lexington, on the Both of November last, TIE
facts of which have not been hitherto recorded.
Miss Ida Dell McMath, a daughter of John and
Margaret McMath, lost her life under the follow
ing distressing circumstances; She climbed q
persimmon tree near her home. for the purpose
of getting some persimmons, from which she fell,
injuring herself SO severely as to cause death in
SO hours. She was about nine years of age, and
was the idol of her parents. rE
The following lines written on her death by {
friend are published by request:
LITTLE IDA DELL.
She was pretty little girl,
With sparkling eyes SO bright,
And her hair did neatly curl
Her parents and friends delight
But alas how sad her fate is ad
Away from home alone, t4s1s +.
She stayed until twas so late,
They visit not where she'd gone
Then anxious search for her they made,
And soon was found sweet Dell,
Cold upon the ground she laid go
She had from the tree-top fell.
Soon taken to her home again
And medical aid her life to save
But, ah it all proved vain
She was doomed to go to the grave.
She suffered till the morning hour
-- -f When death came to her relief
Then like sweet summer flower,
Passed Ida Dell from grief.
Der their darling child was shed
Many tears-and lips were pressed
Though hers were cold and dead,
She was taken TO her lonely rest. p
She has gone q sister to find
i. She had ne'er seen below,
With her and the angels to shine
In bliss forevermore. 80
