No Distinction of Color.

In reference to the ordinance adopted in
Washington City making no distinctionin color
in places of public amusement, We publish the
following which shows the end to which events
are tending:
The Radical press, fearing the effect of the
ordinance upon the country at large, got up
a story and published it, that the "colored peo-
ple," through their recognized representa-
tive" Uust elected to very responsible trust, J
had expressed dissemination to avail them
selves of their privileges thus legally secured.
The following card, as the Chronicle we'll
says explains ITSELF
To the Editors of the Chronicle ra4qNa

Messrs. John 3. Cook and Carter A. Stewart
called on the managers of the National Theatre
and assured them thatthe coored people had
no intention OF attempting to gain admittance
to any part Of said theatre except the galleries.
This statement, as far as am concerned, and
might say for Mr.. Stewart, is wholly false

son of its making the distinction on account Of
color, and having labored earnestly and long te

At the decoration in Arlington Cemetery
on Saturday the Goth day Of May-of the
graves of the Federal soldiers under the auspi-
ces of the organization entitled the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, guard was stationed to
prevent flowers being strewn upon the graves
of the few Confederate Soldiers who there re-
pose in the profound sleep of death, and such
as were placed upon their graves by fair hands
were Indignantly tossed off with the points of
bayonets and fendishly trampled and crushed
beneath the heels Of the guard.
AS soon as the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie had left Arlington, there came on" in
the language of correspondent of the Balti-
more Gazette, "a severe storm, accompanied by
thunder and lightning and torrents of rain
The following morning all was calm and sunny
again. The night and storm had wrought a
remarkable change in Arlington Cemetery. The
wind had caught up the flowers which decked
the graves of the Union dead, and had bestowed
them lavishly, tenderly, upon the neglected
resting places of the dead of the Lost Cause
Knee deep In some places lay the beautiful
flowers, in perfumed and many-colored drifts,
with rain drops glistening in the soft petals
like fresh fallen tears

ROCKINGHAM AblaZe !

We hear that our patriotic old sister county
Rockingham, is in blaze Of excitement in re-
gard to the coming election. We are glad to
hear it, We believe she will do her whole du-
ty.
But how is it in Augusta? We fear our peo-
pie are not sufficiently aroused to sense of the
magnitude of the danger threatening them
Shall Augusta be thrown into the shade by
Rockingham? Shall the right wing of the old
10th legion bear off the honors of the coming
contest? We do not begrudge her laures, but
we wish Augusta to rival them We therefore
earnestly appeal to our active young men in all
parts of the county to be up and doing! We
appeal to the chiefs of ifties, and of tens to
do their whole duty. Let them devote few
days to their country. Let every man be seen
before the registration closes, and urged to have
his name recorded on the lists. The time is
short. The duty is urgent and imperative. -
But let no man trust to his neighbor in mat
ter of SO much Importance. Let every man be
a missionary in the cause which involves our
liberty and property.
No people fought with more gallantry for
their rights than the people of the Valley
None incurred greater sacrifices. 1t would be
strange now if that people after barring their
breasts to the invaders bullets, should now re-
fuse to give few hours of their time to their
country 1t would be strange if the ''Stone-
WALL county should prove recreaht to a sacred
duty enioined by every consideration of patriot
ism. Are they willing to be under the domin-
ion of an inferior race? Are they willing to
surrender the birthright Of freemen? Are
they willing to have the mark of Cain-the
brand of disfianchisement, put on the brows of
the wisest and best Of our countrymen? We
cannot-we do not believe it. We therefore
again counsel activity and diligence, and vigi-
lance. To the polls! To the polls Let every
man register and vote, and thus show to the
world that the present men of Augusta are not
degenerate sons of worthy sires. Let old Au-
gusta be ablaze

If Mr.. Wells We're other than he is-if he
were man of character and approved integri-
ty, yet presenting himself In the guise he does.
seeking to array class against class and race
against race, infaming the passions and To-
menting discord and hatred among the popu-
laton to subserye his own selfish ambition-he
would be justly regarded as the worst enemy Of
all the people of the State. white and black
Than the role he has entered upon, there is
nothing more atrocious in history. Mr.. Dor
man, Of Rockbridge, was fully justified in char
acterizing him an incendiary and hosts has-
mani generis. His enterprise involves the COM
bined wickedness of the robber the incendiary
and the assassin-for he must enact the role of
all these characters to reach success. The in
telligence of the Commonwealth must be de-
throned and subjected to its ignorance; its
property must be transferred from those who
own it to those who have no right to it and
these results can only be effected by negro mi
litia at free quarters, mobbing, numbering and
ravishing Rich. Wig.

For the Spectator,


Notice having been previously given for a
public meeting Of the citizens of Highland Coun-
to be held at the Court house at the June Court,
there was general turn-ou of the people from
all parts of the County. The County Court
giving way, the meeting was organized by call
ing Joseph Layne, Esq, to the chair, and the
appointment of j. A. Jones, Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been ex-
planned, VIM. w. Fleming, Esq, took the
stand and addressed the people most ably for
more than an hour upon the political topics of
the day, urging upon them the election of the
Walker ticket, the adoption of the expurgated
Constitution, and the election ola Conservative
Legislature.
A. Stephenson, ESQ.,, followed in short
speech concurring in the views of Mr.. Fleming
and urged his views in very forcble and
eloquent manner. At the conclusion Of Mr.
Stephenson S speech, John r. Popham. Esq,
of Bath county. came forward and announced
himself as candidate for seat in the House
of Delegates from the District composed Of the
Counties of Highland and Bath, and discussed
the principles involved in the canvass In his
usual eloquent style. At the close of Mr.. Pop
ham S address, the nomination of candidate
by convention for the House of Delegates was
proposed, but failed; and thereupon Robert
Sitlington, Esq, announced himself as a can
didate for seat in the House of Delegates. d
On motion the meeting adjourned.

A letter from friend in neighboring State,
alluding to the report that there are Virginians
who will stand aloof in this contest, remarks
Il cannot for moment believe this. If so,
it will go for to prove that the aclite man is un-
worthy of enfranchisement. Of course he is
estopped from saying anything about negro
stupidity, when, in vital contest between the
two races, the negro shows he has the political
wisdom to elect, not his first choice lfor that
would probably be negro but his most availa-
BILE candidate, while the white man S sagacity
can suggest nothing better than staying at home
and voting for neither. s. s. 800 81,
That is logic from which there is no escape
The man is literally impaled who falls within
its purview. But we are happy in the belief
that it will embrace very few. OF the many
who at one time were indisposed to take any
part in the contest, the numbers are daily
diminishing, and we every day have the cheer
ing intelligence ofthose formerly indifferent and
even impracticabe entering with zeal and ardor
into the canvass. We trust that not baker s
dozen will be found In the unenviable category
by election day.-Rich Wing

Wells. Chandler and Jenkins.

On Friday last, the Court House was filled
with whites and blacks from half past II o'clock
till clock listening to Radical speeches de-
livered by Fl. H. Wells, Governor so-called) L.
Fl. Chandler of Norfolk, and Jno. W. Jenkins
of Winchester. The gallery was filed with
blacks and the body of the Court House with
whites who listened patiently to the harangues
of these speakers till near the close of the meet
ing when jenkins insulted the white race, and
particularly the soldiers of the Federal army,
by asserting that treason was unconquerabe till
the ''cloud of blacks was hurled against the
ramparts of treason when they fill, at which
time many whites left the house.
Each Of these speakers was severally intro
duced by Maj. Jno. A.. Harman who has strange
ly connected himself with the EXTREMIST and
pilest wing of the Radical party. If conscious of
the part now acted by his chief quartermaster,
how deeply must be grieved the sainted spirit
of Gen. Stonewal Jackson!
We took notes on the speeches made, but
consider that it would be waste of space to
publish reports of them in our columns, which
should be devoted to better matter.
If the effect instead of the motives constitut-
ed the merit of actions we would thank these
gentlemen (?) for delivering the speeches they
did, for, we believe, that they have rendered
valuable service to the Conservatives Of the
county-that though they came as enemies they
served US as friends-that out of intended evil,
good will resut-for they did for us that which
was most needed, to wit: Arouse our people
from lethargy and supineness.
Like careless sentinels, they were sleeping up
on their posts, not even dreaming Of danger /;
but the harsh notes of the brazen trumpets of
the enemy, sounded in their midst, have not
only awakened, but aroused them to proper
appreciation of the imminent perils of the situa-
ton, and now the whole camp is in commotion,
and each and every one is buckling on his ar
NOR and getting ready to fall into line and fight
the good fight of patriotism, and to stand boldly
and unfinchingly upon the perilous edge OF
battle as soon as the conflict shall be joined on
the 9th day of July next.
The watchword is now ACTION" From
this time to the day of election there will be nc
more sleep-fcr, as Macbeth said, sleep has
been murdered Figuratively speaking, no true
friend of the State and the rights of the people
will give sleep to his eyes OR slumber to bis eye
lids from this time till the close of the polls or
the day of election. That day will mark an
important epoch in the history of our beloved
Old Commonwealth-from it will date the
period of her salvation, Or sad decline and fall
into ruin inconceiyable and irretrevable. L
will be day which will be remembered with
JOY or with sorrow. Vice. woe, TO the either
who shall fail toHo his duty on that day. His
tory will impale him, his children reproacl
him, and posterity curse him. Woe unto him

Count the Cost.

Do you know how to cipher? If SO, sit
down with your pencil for five minutes and add
up the taxes you will be forced to pay if Wells
and his negroes and carpetbaggers get control
of the Governorship and Legislation. By our
calculation it amounts to practical confscation

white men will be destroyed root and branch.
Poor men, if you don't want your wives and

We see in the Wing letter from gentle
man who owns house in Charleston, S. c. as
sessed at $4,000. His annual taxes and insu-

cent on its assessed value. The taxation in
