aaF Some Of the workin gmen's as
sociaions in Washington wa,ned BY
the troubles of the Printers Union,
are taking measures to keep the negro
out of their membership. The house
carpenters held a meeting Friday even
ing, at which constitution was adopt
ed, wherein the word white" was in
sortod in oil places where tho character
of the memb ers of the association is
described Some objection was made
that the word was unnecessary, because
if the name of a negro was presented
for membership he could be rejected by
a vote of the association. A majority
of the members, however, thought that
it was better to make assurance doubly
sure, by providing that negroes would
be ineligible to membership, and this
was finally agreed to- 1t is said that
other werkingmen's associations will
take similar action. 1860

A CHANGE OF TUNE

Fornsy's Chronicle changes some what
from iM threatening tone 10 regard to
the Virginia election, now that 1t has a
better understanding, perhaps, of the
true character and force of the result.
While at first it put Ia this reminder that
Congress holds the key Of the position,
and declared that rebel democrats may
boast that they have elected their can
didates. but there is an ultimate remedy :
it now. In Its issue of Friday, says
"The democratic flag has been formal
" lowered all over the South, and if R.

amendment. including a full support of
all the rights Of the colored people under
the laws. There is no democratic party
in Texas. Tennessee and Mississippi. In
the two former States the democrats are

MONDAY MORNING. July IL, 1869
A BUSINESS VIEW.

The DAY Book sowed the seed and
cultivated the tree the fruits of which
are now giving our fellow citizens such
great joy and delight and we did the
sowing and cultivating in the teeth of a
perfect hurricane of prejudice against us,
which has swept from us more than one
half of the advertising patronage of this
community which we formerly enjoyed.
At least one half of the moons that has
for long time past sustained this paper
comes to US from outside of the city of
Norfolk. We do not state these facts
by way of complaint, because We know
in our efforts to impress the doctrines Of
the "new movement" upon the public
mind. we had to use many arguments
which ran directly in the tech of all of
our own long established prejudices. 1t
should be remembered we worked hard
to perfect this stats of affairs which is
now creating such joyous feelings all
over the country, for twelve or eighteen
months before we could bring forth such
fruit as to cause the press of the State,
gradually at first and rapidly latterly,
to take hold and help along the project
to success.
If to make money had been the sole
object we aimed at, we should have sue
ceeded much better by joining the cause
80 popular Of catering to the passions
and prejudices Of our people but we
saw the sufferings that surrounded us,
the sorrows that thr aatened if we let
the carpet Dagger fasten his talons on the
constitution Of our Stats by means of
using the ignorance of the colored PEG.
pie, and we chose accordingly to brave
public opinion, public sentiment and
public prejudice, aud raise our voice in
behalf of our mother State and we this
day have the proud satisfaction of seeing
the glorious results of our action in the
great joy manifested all over the land
We make no assertion that refer
ence to our files will not bear us out ia.
We arc the author of the "naw move
ment" which has rid our State of carpet
bag and negro rule. Many true friends
in our city who knew our earnest nature
in the good work we had embarked,
stuck to US through thick and thin, and
by their patronage aud support we have
been enabled to continue our paper until
the contamination of our glorious work,
We know that the people of Norfolk, Of
Virginia, and Of the whole South will
newer be able to realizs the benefits Sc
cured to them by the success of the new
movement project; because the evils it
was designed to ward off from them
they have by Its means escaped But
the joy in the public heart satisfies us
that their appreciation is great. We
know how glad we feel ourselves and
our gladness is only marred by that PEI
cuniary feeling which twill not down.
We need patronage to enable us to carry
on our business; and we make our ap-
peal to a gencrous-a joyous public.
We are in dead earnest In business
point of view we ink we deserve a
liberal patronage. We lsave the matter
in the hands Of that generous public,
and our friends, with the assurance that
the demands upon us are pressing, Re-
member that we have made no money
since the war, and that we came out of
the war almost totally impoverished.

At the late election in Virginia Hon.
Jos. Segsr was elected Congressman at
large, but there being no provision for
such an officer in the acts of Congress,
1t is not likely that he will BE- admitted
to d seat in Congress. If admitted it
will only be by special exception yet to
be made by Congress, which is not
probable, as In the cases of both Ten.
nessee aud South Carolina it refused to
recognize Congressman so elected.
