A WARNING TO PARTY TRAITORS
OF the half score of colored men in this
city who have sold their birth-rights to the
Conservative party, two of them have COM
mitted offences so serious, that if they were
Radicals and tried by Conservative courts,
would consign them to the Penitentiary.
Some time ago Ben Scott, one of these
traitors, was detected passing counterfeit
money paid him by a Conservative for po-
litical purposes, and now we see another of
these beauties under arrest for stealing.
Frederick Coles, who, for selling out, was
awarded with place in the Office of the
State Printer, Major Richard Walker, has
been detected stealing quantity of paper
from his employer, and is now in custody
for the offence. We have always had a
poor opinion of these fellows and are being
daily convinced of their unworthiness Of
the confidence of any one. No honest
negro can be Conservative, and if they all
don't 60 to the penitentiary in reasona-
BILE time it will be because they
are rascals of sufficient ingenuity to
prevent detection, or they will escape con-
viction through their own partisan courts.
Had Mr.. Greeley said that all Democratic
negroes were horse-thieves, liars, and
scoundrels, he would have been nearer the
truth and less offensive than when he APP
piled the remark to Democrats generally.
We will console Fred with the prediction
that his Democratic friends will see that he
is kept out of Jail and the pententiary long
enough for him to vote for Greeley. After
that look out Fred.

Some wag tells story to the effect
that two young men sailing recently in
Delaware Bay were overtaken by squall.
They had been inside of Nazareth Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Philadelphia, and
knew something of how religious services
Were conducted. As it appeared that their
little boat was near capsizing, "Bill," one
said to the other, "this is serious business,
can you pray?o mo, can't; pve heard
Joe do it, and I've listened to Post, but
can't do itmyself." "Well, you can sing
a hymn, can't you? Do Something"
mo, can't sing here. How can / sing
when this boat may at any moment
drown us both?" swell, we must do
something religious. II you can't pray
and can't sing, let's take up collection
10 this Bill consented. In his compan-
ions hat he deposited thirteen pennies, a
cork-screw and a broken-bladed knife.
They must have reached shore in safety,
for otherwise the true story could never
have been told.

FIRE AT WHITE SULPHUR.-A fire
occurred at White Sulphur Springs on
Tuesday evening at o'clock, and two of
the best cottages in Florida Row were de-
stroyed. One of the cottages was used as
a pack and store-room. Fortunately the
wind was not blowing at the time Of the
fire, as had it been, fearful destruction of
property would have resulted. The fire
was not fully under control when this in
formation was dispatched to US, and it may
have occasoned more damage than is here
stated. The loss by the destruction of the
two cottages has not yet been ascertained.

Wnges of Labor.

The first duty of government " for the
people," is to sustain the wages of their
labor, and government "by the people"
will never fail to protect their most vital in
terests. Free trade aims to diminish prices
by reducing the wages of labor. Its advo-
Gates unblushingly avow such sentiments
as are found published in leading New
York paper of the current month:
Zone of the immediate effects of high
tariff is to keep up the price of labor. which
is more than four times as high in this
country as it will average in Europe. am
for unqualified free trade. | would sell
out the custom-houses, discharge the leech-
es that swarm around them, and allow
people to sell and buy products and goods
wherever they found it for their interest to
do SO. This will bring us to a true and
normal condition. | see clearly what the
effect would be. Commercial disturbances
would be the natural result, for it would
be great and radical change. We should
be on an entirely new foundation.
"The first effect would be to stop manu-
featuring here, and the country would be
filled with foreign goods, many of which
Europe would never see her money for.
A commercial revulsion would follow, la
borers would be out of employment, and
the price of labor would come down, down,
down, until it touched the European stand
ard, and then success is secured"
To sustain the American, and to avoid
the European standard of wages, with its
attendant miseries of poverty, debt, and
moral degradation, which have been shown
to be the normal condition of the industri-
al population of Europe, is the primary
object of the protective policy, to which
all other objects are merely secondary and
collateral. If the elevation of labor is
''the sentiment which has created civilian
tion," it is the sentiment which must be
always paramount in country which ex
hibits the highest results of civilization in
a government of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people. "-Repot Of Hon.
ID. J. Moreu, Chairman of Committee on
Manufactures.

The BARBACUE AT LANGLEY.-The
Republican barbecue at Langley, Fairfax
county, yesterday, was glorious affair,
and but for the rain would have been the
largest meeting ever held in that county for
political purposes. The Republicans of
the vicinity had erected stand in beauti-
full grove, which was finely decorated for
the occasion.
Flags of every size abounded, and they
all bore the stars and stripes. Portraits of
Grant and Wilson crowned the arch over
the speakers head. Two long tables were
bountifully laden with provisions to meet
the craving appetites of the large crowd.
The speaking was spirited, and the enthu-
siasm of the audience was unbounded

Politics AT FRONT RoYAL.-John
Oliver, Esq, of this city, made fine speech
at Front Royal on Monday last. The Gree
leeyites also had a meeting at that place on
the same day, and declined the polite invita-
ton of the Republicans to enter into joint
discussion.
Mr.. Oliver drew good many people
away from the Greeley meeting, which so
exasperated Mr.. Greeley's friends that
they resorted to such violent means as they
hoped would break up the Republ can
meeting. But the Republicans held their
ground, and Mr.. Oliver kept the stand
until quiet was restored.

LOCAL MATTERS.

The ENQUIRER ON GREELEY.-In
our report of the speaking at Assembly
Hall Tuesday night we briefly alluded to
the speech of Col. John r. Popham, in
which that gentleman took occasion to re-
fer to the sentiments of the Enquirer con-
corning Horace Greeley in 1869. As that
paper is now one Of the supporters of Mr..
Greeley for the Presidency, and daily pro-
claims his fitness for the office and accep-
liability to the people of the South, we
deem it proper to allude again to the esti-
nation in which he was held by its
conductors three years ago.
Our neighber then declared that "this
eccentric philosopher is more distinguished
for his utter and inc,rable uaftness for
public life than any man now humg.
About everything else that pertains to
Horace, there is dispute, but about this
there is none. He has been tried and found
wholly incapable of the judicious perform
ance Of the duties of legislator" We
neel not say that we fully agree with our
contemporary, and think the article from
which Colonel Popham quoted would be
much more palatable to its readers than
the thin balderdash which now cumbers its
columns.
If Horace Greeley is elected to the Sem
ate from Virginia, continues the Enquirer,
mo man would dare to predict what abb
surd hobby he might not ride to death be-
fore he had been six weeks in his seat in
that body. The chances would be that he
would make either woman's rights, spirit
ualism, polygamy, Espy's theory of storms,
compulsory diet Of bran-bread, or an
amendment of the Federal Constitution
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks
his speciality. or mount these hobbies
se,fdim."
1t suggested the propriety of selecting
something better than " a crochety old v,s-
ionay like Horace Greeley' to represent
Virginia in the United States Senate, whose
I" visionary suggestions and whims have
kept the world in broad grin for nearly
thirty years."
AS will be seen by what we have given
above the Enqurer's estimation of the
qualities and capacity of Mr.. Greeley for
public stations was somewhat different in
1860 to what it is in 1872. ........

THE Oneida Circular describes visit to
the Oneida community by young Russian
woman who has come to this country to
study the "woman movement. Her name
is Catharine Dikhova. Miss Dikhova is the
daughter of princess, and her father is
general OF artillery in st. Petersburg. This
young Russian lady, though not yet twen-
ty-one, is very talented and highly edu-
Gated.
1t is but four months since she began
speaking English, and she now converses
quite fluently, compromising readily every
thing said to her. She is mistress of seven
languages-Russian, Polish, French, Ger
man, Greek, Latin, and English. She
graduated with high honors at Kasan when
sixteen. She received at that time the
badge Of her Majesty, which gives to her
power to appeal to the emperor for any
favor; also the privilege of attending court
balls.
She is one among only four women who
have been honored by her majesty's badge
during the last forty years, as it is only
awarded to those who display extraordinary
talent and proficiency. Not satisfied with
the amount of education she had received,
and there being no schools in Russia where
she could pursue the higher branches, she
employed private tutors, devoting the fol-
lowing four years to the study of mathe-
mates and physics, and was examined by
the faculty at Moscow.
She is apoetess, a novelist, and cores
pondent of monthly journal published in
st. Petersburg. She came to this country
for the purpose of studying the woman
movement here, examining the medical COL
leges for women, ETC., with view to as
sisting her own country-women. She was
the first to appeal to the emperor to open
colleges to women. She intends starting
woman's journal when she returns to St.
Petersburg.
