colored and White People.

What Is the matter? Why is it that the
whites are separated from the colored ctfi-
zens? The whites are warning against no
right established for the colored man. They
have proclaimed that the question of colored
rights is settled, and that it can never be
disturbed save by Congress. II is, there
fore, beyond the reach Of the people of Viz
ginia.
What is the matter, then? WHY'S it that
the great body Of the colored people pro-
nose to disfranchise and disqualify the
whites generally, while they support q man
for Governor who has during his entire resi-
dence in the State endeayored in every pos
sible way to Cypress the whites and deprive
them of the liberties of citizens9 How can
the colored man expect white men to CO.
operate with him TO disfranchise and de-
grade themselves?
On the other hand, what obstacle is there
in the way of the colored man cooperating
with the whites, who have acknowledged
all his rights? Why cannot he join the
whites, and thus secure to himself the
benefit Of the peace, prosperity, and mar
mony that would follow? How much better
that he should acknowledge the equality Of
the s1ltte man, join his own people, and pc
at rest, than that he should yainly and fool
ishly attempt to shackle his white fellow
citizens, and permanently establish enmlty
between himself and them by betraying
them to men who will cruelty Cypress them,
and who have no kindness or charity for

who desires that Virginia shall be relieved
from her present unhappy condition to vote
for the expurgated constitution. That is
the best bargain we can make, and there Is
no telling what the WELLS party may DO.
Of course every Conservative, every con-
siderate man, will vote against the dlsiran-
chising clause, which DISTINGUISHES all those
citizens who are 8. disqualified from mold

RfasnhenOuS.

The Epening Journal Of Saturday makes
such reference to the appalling calan-
ity of Friday as cannot be too severely
execrated. We have not been surprised
heretofore at anything that paper has
said; but we had not supposed there
was a man even in that establishment
who could be guilty of such deliberate
wickedness and b1asphemy. Public feeling
and opinion, one would think, would deter
any man, however deprayed. from such a
reckless outrage upon society. Such a
shameless attempt to misguide credulous
race, and inaugurate in the bosom of the
community a savage creed which would
clothe passion and violence with the sane
tity of religion, we have never known. We
quote below the paragraphs to which we
allude

The Fraud on General Grant.

WELLS pressed his proscriptive views upon
the Reconstruction Committee at Washing
ton until he found that General GRANT was
determined that more liberal policy should
be pursued towards Virginia. Seeing the
overwhelming Importance ofconciliatng Ge-
neral GRANT, he called on him, affected to be
against the test-oath in the constitution, and,
pretending to be all anxiety on the subject,
took up the question of an early admission
of Virginia and separate vote on the
"test-oath!" But still he kept dark on the
"oath." He did not divuige his opinion on
it until he found that Colonel WRITER'S was
withdrawn and the Conservatives and True
Republicans had formed an alliance. Then
he wrote his letter to the immortal GAR
LAND.
This letter raised great row amongst the
bloody proscriptives, including the bitter
and vindictiye HUMPHREYS. Then occurred
the stormy scene in which Governor WELLS
was about to be thrown overheard; but his
timely appearance saved him. He settled
the matter by proposing that he be allowed
to stand on the GARLAND letter, and his fol-
lowers could support the constitution with
out expurgation. MANSFIELD says now tllat
the Governor will vote for the constitution
rs originally framed.
On Saturday HUMPHREYS put forth an adj
dress as Chairman of the " Republican Cen
trail City Committee" in which the follow
ing sentence occurs:
i" The constitution is indeed ours. Let 1t
be adopted as giUen as by the Conuention."
This is the ultra Radical respect for the
opinions of General GRANT and WELLS is
playing double game, which has just as
little consideration for the chief executive
officer of the nation. He has deluded the
President by pretending to concur with
him and tipping the wink to his followers,
he tells them to go the constitution Gas
given them by the Convention"
This is the most impudent trifling with
General GRANT. The dishonesty Of the de-
ception is fully equal to its brazenfaced
| assurance.

Wells against the Expurgated.

MANSFIELD, the representative OF WELLS
in the county of Henrico, on "Wednesday
last. Mt Deep Run coal-pits, declared, before
n large assemblage, that Governor /" ELLIS
will not vote for the expurgated constltu-
ton. but that he will vote for the constitu-
ton M it is! We suppose MANSFIELD is to
be believed as Governor WEISS witness.
Yet we would not venture to hazard an
opinion rs to what WELLS will do. MANS
FIELDS, as well as WELLs's, object may have
been fully attained at Deep Run by the de-
elaration there made, while Wells may feel
that It is necessary that he should conform
with his pledge in. the GARLAND letter, and
vote to exclude the "test-oath." III ne de-
clines to do this, he win be primed with
nm excuse by blaming the whites in some
way. ;.
We have seen many elections and Wit
messed the schemes of many tricksters, but
never in our long experience have we
known such an entire disregard OF every
obligation Of honesty and consistency as mas
been exhibited by the WELLS party in tins
State. The wonder is how anybody can
trust the leader of that party. He has been
consistent and true to no one but himself
and himself only in filling his pockets when
ever he could get an opportunity. Other
wise he has been an arrogant traitor to his
own character, which he has ruined by his
duplicity. We cannot believe that his con-
tidential supporters put any faith whatever
in him. They must have such guarantees
as cannot be violated, or rs sure as they
live they will be victimized by one whose
faith is only kept while it promotes his gam
or ambition to keep it.

and that all his public sympathy for him Is

HUMPHREYS are his faithful followers. They,
too, have no love for the colored man any
more than the rest of their scuryy compan-
ions, who, in employing him, are only using
tool they despise, and which they mean 70
throw away as soon as they use it.
So, colored people, you can do as you
please, being free; but if you tie to these
people you are doomed to disappointment.

Governor Wells and the State Stocks
The reader is quite familiar with the
charges that Governor WELLS last year tried
to sell the railroad stocks held by the State.
This he has denied. His denial was never
believed; and General SToNEMAN, now in
California, has written q letter to the Rich
mond Wing asserting that Governor WELLS
did make to him a verbal proposition to sell
out the States interest in one OF the rail-
roads. The General asked him to put his
proposition in writing. But that he never
did-not he-catch him at it
General SLOVENIAN states further that
Governor WELLS afterwards sent another
person (not willing to try it again himself)
to him with similar proposition with re-
gard to another of the railroads of the State,
Hand may, perhaps" says the General,
"recollect the reply that was returned to
s'tIis latter proposition" Very likely; but
WELLS is not the man to mention either just
now. He would as soon tell all about the
missing letter. -
There is much about these State stocks
that cannot see the light. WELLs's tracks
were we'll covered up. There was I" con-
sideration perhaps more than one-that
nobody save the parties to it are likely ever
to hear of. Even should they fall out and
quarrel, they will hardly be SO indiscreet as
to "peach,p as that would be to expose
equally the impeacher and the impeaehed
There is no doubt that the first railroad
alluded to was the Virginia and Tennessee,
and the second the Orange and Alexandria
railroad The scheme of the persons pro.
posing to purchase was to consolidate those
roads with the view of cutting off all the
Virginia towns. WELLS didn't care any.
| thing about that. His interest in the sale
was of a wholly different nature. lie would
sell the stocks Of the State in any other
railroad, and help any other consolidation
| for the same consideration"
Now, any exposure that may be made Of
Mr.. WELLS viii, we suppose, have no effect
upon his prospects. His followers are not
the persons to desert him for crime. In.
deed, that seems rather commendable in
their eyes there is in it that which propi
tiates a fellow-feeling. But, people of Viz
ginia, how can you submit to be ruled by Q
man who has been true to no one?

The 0,d.Time Barbecue.

This cherished form Of festivity-so pepu-
lar amongst the best men this State ever
produced-is quite prevalent now. See the
account Of a happy meeting at Halifax
Courthouse. When honest men meet in the
open air and break bread together, things are
going well. 1t is only the dark plottings, the
midnight Leagues, that society has to fear.
The Barbecue is free, frank, and manly.
The League is gloomy, tyrannical, and
deyilish.
