children, girls and boys, all born in Vir
sinia, and he had no fears that they would
be injured by this thing called I" sociaI
equality" if they were brought up as they
should be, and as he intended to bring
them up. The whole thing was a bugbear,
and every sensible man knew it.
He appealed to the white laboring man to
get rid of this absurd prejudice, and not re-
fuse to vote the Republican ticket because
the negro had the good sense to vote it..
To put ballot into the same box with the
colored man was as much recognition of
social equality" as to vote the same ticket
with him.
Mr.. Burgess was repeatedly applauded,
and closed by offering to discuss the uues-
ton an hour longer, il there was any
Greeley man present who wanted to take
hand at debate with him. No such cham
pion making his appearance, Mr.. John
Oliver, of Richmond, (eolored) was called
for, and spoke for something over half an
hour, with much eloquence and effect.
We doubt if there is a white man in the
State, who could he have exchanged places
and audiences, circumstances. and political
and social surroundings with Mr.. Oliver,
would have made more admirably dis
Greet and judicious speech than he did, or
one filled with better and sounder advice to
his race. We regard Mr.. Oliver as one of
the most valuable citizens of Richmond, so
far as the moral effect of his teachings and
example is concerned. He speaks extern
poraneonsly and tiuently; appeals to rea-
son and judgment, not to passion; impresses
every one who hears him with sense of
his justice and fairness, aud makes no as
sertion which he does not fortify by argu-
ment or fact. He is worth dozen such
white men as we could name as a cam
paigner for this State.

CoLoRED SONS OF TEMPERANCE
The following divisions of colored Sons of
Temperance have been instituted in this
State by Charles P. McCabe, G. w. P. of
Virginia, and deputies appointed by said
officer: Two in Loudoun county, one in
Alexandria, one in Petersburg, one in Man
chester, four in Richmond, and one in
Lynchburg. There are, also, many other
petitions ready to be forwarded to Leesburg
.or charters to open new divisions in Rich
mond, Manchester, and Petersburg. These
facts show a great revival of interest upon
the subject OF temperance among the col
ored people, which we hope will continue.
The divisions chartered are under the juris-
diction OF the Grand Division of Virginia.

HURRAH FOR WEST PoINT.-Haye
you heard from West Point? Good news
from West Point. The West Pointers had
a city election Oh Saturday. The entire
Republican ticket was elected by hand
some majority. John Whitbeck, the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, received a
majority of 81 votes. Messrs. E. w.
Massey Ii. Anderson, II. Cole, G. Wash
ington, and Beverly Allen, the Republican
candidates for council were elected by a
like handsome majority. Two years ago,
the West Pointers elected mixed ticket.
Not SO on Saturday. 1t was fair and
square contest between avowed Grant
and Greeley men. This is straw which
our Greeley friends will do well to consider.

THE ACCIDENT TO Mr.. BEDFORD
We published on Saturday the news of the
accidental shooting of Mr.. T. B. Redford,
of this city, in Philadelphia. A letter just
received by Mr.. j. II. Chlldrey, from
Franklin B. Coulter, Esq, treasurer of the
American Dredging company, gives the
particulars Of the sad accident. Mr.. Red
ford had left his work only few moments
before to shoot some rice birds near by the
works. He carried his gun cooked by his
side, when the hammer caught on some
weeds and caused the discharge, the con-
tents of the barrel entering the right temple,
tearing away a part of the skull. 1t is
feared the wound will prove fatal. The
wounded man was sent to the Pennsylvania
Medical Hospital for treatment. The letter
adds that Mr.. BEDFORD was entirely sober
at the time of the accident; and from the
time of entering the employment Of the
company his conduct had been highly cred
liable to himself and satisfactory to his en-
ployers.

he heard of the late elections. The Greeley
party had become fearfully demoralized
! One evidence of it was, that the party which
was always fond Of betting-was always
ready to put up its pile-to back its brac.

with disease known as g impecuniosity, ~
supposed to be brought on by eating toe

ever eager to bet its "bottom dollar'5 on

sort of thing now. They don't bet; you
can't find Greeleyite who wants to bet
there isn't any "bottom dollaru to his
