THE ATTEMPT to Embron Virginia.

The Attempt to Embrol Virginia
We can hardly suppose it necessary to
warn the people of Virginia, who have so
recently passed through such terrible sr' 4,
TO guard themselves against being emoro''ed
in party politics. They have too much OK
ner;ence not to know that the present mo-
ment can only be prohtably employed oy
attending to their own business and leaving
ro,;t;cs alone. Certainly they have no de-
a;re or motive for kicking up row and di'
y;dinc their attention and time between
taking care Of their vital physical interests
and ouarrelling over national ques'"ns
The politicians desire to emhr''i .ne' WIN
. view to the offices-a desire which, with n
wise consideration of their own welfare,
thew should not crafty.
Parties are in transition state. No
man can forcsee what a year will bring
forth. We cannot either with prudence or
self-respect attach ourselves to any party
now. 1t cannot be done without banding
the black population into one party, and
rendering it probable that enough whites
will 90 with them to carry the State and
transfer the administration OF public al
fairs to hands that will not command the
confidence of the people.
There can be no perfect harmony or
peace in Virginia until the black vote Is
divided just rs is the white vote. And that
cannot be as long az there are any issues
which bring up the passions and prejudices
of the recent civil strife. We cannot Of
tach ourselves to present parties without
involving ourselves in the same old war OF
words and the same rancors which dis
tracted the country so lately.
After the lapse of short time-a year
or two-we may hope to see parties forget
ting the war and dividing wholly upon
questions Of policy. Then Virginia may
select-indeed, must select-her position.
Then she can do go safely without such
division of her people upon a line OF color
Us may imperil her government and in
crease the chances of it's passage under the
controlof interruptions, Enthusiastically, and
dishonest men. Then Virginia's position
will he one not only Of safety, but OF dig
nifty; whereas to enter the field Of party
politics at this time, while she has not got
ton fairly out of the degrading arena in
which she has been the victim Of the pas
sions and prejudicea which, like wild
beasts, dragged her hither and thither,
would be not only undignifed, but madly
impolitic.
The Conservative bridge which saved US
is good and strong. Let us still consider it
"a the safe connection between us and the
Union, and trust none other. There ID
none other that we can rely upon.

One Of the objections to REvELs, the
mulatto elected from Mississippi, is that
he is fraudulent and immoral person.
We can hardly suppose that Congress will
entertain any such objection as that. 1t
would, were it to obtain, leave great
many vacant seats in the body. However,
considering the record of the federal
Legislature for some years, it might be con-
sistent in the national representatives. to
exact higher standard of morality from
the colored people than the whites, by which
RErELs might be rejected, while worse men
with white faces would hold their places.

SECOND AUD1ToR.-It is understood that
the new Second Auditor will employ
General ROGERS as chief clerk or first as
sistant. If his disabilities had been re-
moved, General ROGERS himself, it is safe
to say, would have been reelected. His
friends will be pleased to learn that he is
to remain in the Office. Mr.. SHAcKELFoRD,
who will make an excellent officer, could
not have done better for the State.

any additional charge to the corporations
above named.
The bill provides for all the necessary
checks and safe guards, in order that the
drainage fund can not be squandered or
embezzled, as was done under the act of
1868.
This bill does not increase the burdens of
the taxpayers in any manner, neither cal
