ALEXANDRIA.

The recent Radical nomination OF candidates
for the Legislature from Richmond-seven
blacks and one white-tells the tale. So tar
from there being any division in the ranks OF
the colored men, we believe, As we have SAID
before, that under the influence OF their white
leaders and drivers, and controlled by their
"loir leagucs-they are more banded to-
gether than ever against the whites. There
are honorable exceptions to the general rule
some OF the most respectable and intelligent
of the colored men, refusing to pull in the
traces. But as general thing they all are going
to work aud vote for the most ultra Of the
Radicals-aud they are induced to this course,
among other reasons, because tue Radicals, tor
their own purpose, and in order to have their
tools ready in the Legislature and elsewhere,
advise and counsel the nomination of colored
Radicals, in some instances. Where these
white Radical leaders think that more influence
can be cxerted by the action of colored leaders,
than by their own personal interference,
they stand back and push forward their
chosen satellites and understrappers to do the
work for them. And this is done irrespective of
any claims of gratitude. Persons who have
all along been their greatest fricnds-who
have, as we think, very improperly hitherto
encouraged and sustained them, are denounced
and abused Just as much as ii they had been
enemies and rebels of the deepest dye
What these Radical advisers and guides"
want, i, their own aggraudizament, aud the
defeat OF the candidates who are supported by
the Conservatives. And they viii resort to
any means to accomplish their ends. They
tickle the vanity and miniStos to the ridiculous
ambition OF the colored aeople, by throwing
to them the crumbs Of few seats in the Leg.

an additional reason for the Conservatives to
be united and determined.

The National Gunrd-lts Maintenance and
Efficiency.
The following petition is being signed by the Ma
tonal Guards OF the department Of the Seine:-
MEssTEURs LES SENATEURs--The institution OF
National Guard, which dates from that glorious year
1850. was founded on this simple and grand Idea
to conide the guardianship or the city to the
hands OF Its citizens The events which have re-
Gently taken place In Paris and several other cities
OF France show now badly the present organization
responds TO that ldea. The maintenance OF order
was exclusively connded to police agents and mill
tary detachInents. The Intervention OF the former
has given rise to numerous complaints and was not
elrcacl0us enough to put stop to aimless tumults
and shameful devastatlOns, which were repeated
during several nights In various parts OF Paris To
use the army against citizens Is fraugnt with great
Inconvenience; 1t awakens sad souvenirs and may
give rise TO real cata-trophes. Why not the Ma
sa Unai Gaara II was no doubt be-
object Indicated In the preamble OF the decree Of
the 18th OF January, 1882 and does not form sum-
Client guarantee against disorder and lnsurrectlOn.
in fact, the National Guard, dissolved in q great
number or quarters, Is not strong enough. 1t Is
commanded by chiefs who have not been called to
the arade they occupy by the confidence OF their
co-citzens. Finally, but seldom called together It
Is not exercised aud Instructed 1t should be- The
necessity OF putting stop 10 this state OF things
appears TO us clear enough We demand that the
National Guard be henceforth called upon to play
the useful and glorious role which belongs to and
which IL formerly 30 nobly filled. The National
Guard alone can assure the peace OF city without
being an instrument OF terror IL would soon gnow
how to arrest rioters without violating inonensive
citizens. The National Guards OF Paris can no
longer resign themselves figure only In useess re-
views and parades. The National Guard TO be
serious AFFAIR, must be re0rganized on its ancient
basis. IL ought 10 nominate Its own chiefs whose
authority alone rests the confidence IL insuires
and that confidence can only be expressed by cleo.
ton. The National Guard ought TO b. useful and
aid In the security OF the city. We therefore de.
mand the repeal Of the decree OF the 18th OF Janu-
AIRY, 1852. and the reorganization OF the National
Guard in conformity with the law voted by the Ma.
tonal Assembly OF June b. 1851.
