PRINCIPLES ENUNCIATED BY THE RE
pUBLICANS OF VIRGINIA.

The Republicans OF Virginia, in Convention
assembled, about to enter upon the canvass for
the election of a President and Vice-Prosident
oil the United States, now formally announce
their principles to the voters of this Common
wealth.
From 1865 to 1872 they have continually and
unwaveringiy held and proclaimed the same
principles; and they hereby reiterate and re-.
affirm the resolutions of their State Conventions
held in 1866 1857, 1868, 1869, 1870, and 1871.
These principles have been embodied in the
18th, l4th, and 10Th amendments of the national
constitution; and in the civil rights act of April
o. 1856, the enforcement act Of May 80, 1870, and
the amended enforcement act of April 20, 1871
which principles in brief are;-
l. That slavery shall never exist in this Union
That all native and naturalzed inhabitants of
these states shall be citizens OF the Union, enti-
tied to absolutely equal rights, civil and polti-
cali
That the elective franchise and the right of Of
fiee.hoiding shall belong to all citizens of proper
age, not guilty of crime, irrespective of race,
color, or of any other proscriptiye qualification;
2: That the laws of Congress passed for the
enforcement of these rights should be diligently
executed and that If, in practice, these laws
should be found Inadequate for this purpose
other laws should be enacted by Congress effect
ual to that end.
8. That these constitutional amendments and
the laws for their enforcement embody not only
the just principles of equality and right but
those of true Christian federation; and that we
oppose all prescription for opinion sake, and all
endeavors to infuse spirit of hatred and HOSTILE
ty in the minds of one class of citizens against
another on political grounds.
T. That we challenge the world to produce
financial results more successful than have been
achieved by the national administration. The
national debt has been diminished three hundred
millions Of dollars, while taxation by the nation
al government has been largely and steadily re-
duced. Our credit has improved and strength
ened at home and abroad the perpetrators of
fraud and elnbezzement have been vigorously
pursued and promptly punished the revenues
have been collected by officers held by the Presi-
dent to the most rigid accountability, all OF
which hI/ produced the present satisfactory
conSlt-5n of the national treasury.
8. That we'll conducted and faithfully ad
ministered system of free schools, in pursuance
OF the state constitution, whereby the children
OF the people shall be universally educated, is a
cardinal policy of the Republican party, and
necessary TO the well being of society; and as
one means of securing an efficient management
of the free schools of Virginia, we favor the cleo
! ton OF sch DOL trustees by the people in such

John z. Shafton, of Brunswick, Georgia,
who was once slave, has written brief
letter, called forth by Senator Summers
letter to the coloped men of Washington.
In it he says: " Does Mr.. Sumner suppose
that the colored people South. having been
made free by Providence and the war, in-
tend to return to slavery at his bidding, or
with abject and lowly submission, because
he says SO, pass under the yoke of humilia-
ton as his slaves and vassals; he mistakes
us when he asks it.
When you consider what he has asked,
and understand it in its true light and as
pect, know you cannot receive it in any
other light but direct insult to our race.
Has Mr.. Sumner forgotten that the Demo-
cratic party has not renouncel a single
principle in accepting Mr.. Greeley as a
suitable candidate for their party? They
look upon Mr.. Greeley as tool and weap-
on to Stay, if possible, the only party true
to the negro in this country. The Demo-
cratic party will take Mr.. Greeley and
cover him with his own dirty parchment in
order to keep their hands from being poll
luted whilesthey use him as battering
ram against his own party.
In concluding this letter fellow-citizens,
will say the time has not arrived yet for
you to leave the old Republican party. II
white men are starving for Office they must
get tilt some other way than at the ex-
pense of your rights. While good Id
Gerrit Smith, William Lloyd Garrison
Wilson, Colfax, Blaine, and host of 9TH
ers remain, it is not meet that you should
be alarmed and endanger your liberties to
follow one man in his mad career and
blind infatuation. Stand to the old ship
that has brought you safe SO far, and if we
fail, we fail doing our duty to ourselves
and generations to come"

Judge Cooke. of Florida, for Grant.

Judge w. A. Cooke, of Monticello, Fla,
an old Democrat, has declared for Grant,
as against Greeley, in vigorous letter,
wherein he says: ''If written documents
can convince tho human mind, there is
enough to satisfy every one that Greeley is
as thoroughly imbued with all the princi-
Piles of centralism and the concentration of
power in the general government, irrespec-
tive of the rights of the States and the
guarantees of the constitution, as any man
i'm the United States, which may be fully
demonstrated at another time. The people
are treading on dangerous ground, and let
them pause. There is more danger in
Greeley than in Grant, and the Southern
Democracy will find, by connecting itself
with the Greeley wing of the Radical par.
ty, that they will do more to impair and
endanger the best interest of the country
than by remaining neutral or even by COM
ing in a body to the supporter Grant"

DR.. HOLMES crowds his part of the Al
lantic with shrewd humor. Boarding
House Life" is thus done up by the
"Poet." This picture of boarding-house
life New Workers are, unfortunately, espe-
cially able to appreciate:
To think of it! Not even dog to lick
his hand, or a cat to pur and rub her fur
against him! Oh, these boarding houses,
these boarding houses! What forlorn peo-
pie one sees stranded on their desolate
shores Decayed gentlewomen with the
poor wrecks of what once made their
households beautiful; sdisposed around them
in narroty chambers as they best may be,
coming down day after day, poor souls !!
to sit at the board with strangers; their hearts
full of sad memories which have no Ian
guage but sigh, no record but the lines of
sorrow on their features; orphans, crea-
lures with growing tendrils and nothing to
cling to; lonely rich men, casting about
them what to do with the wealth they
never knew how to enjoy, when
they shall Lo longer worry over keep
ing and increasing it; young men and young
women, left to their instincts, unguarded,
unmatched, save by malicious eyes, which
are sure to be found and to find occupation
in these miscellaneous coli ections Of human
beings and now and then shred of hui
manity ike this little adjust specialist. with
just the resources needed to keep the ''radi-
cal moisture" from entirely exhaling from
his attenuated organism, and busy himself
over a point of science, or compiling a
hymn book, or editing grammar or die
'tionary--such are the tenants of boarding
houses whom we cannot think of without
feeling how sad it is when the wind is not
tempered to the shorn lamb; when the soli-
tary, whose hearts are shriyelling, are not
set in families!
And this companion-piece is very capital of
an adjunct such as one finds not rarely an
nexed to a capable matron in charge Of an
establishment Ike hers; that is to say, an
easy-going, harmless, ietch-and-carry carve
and-help, get-out-of-thc-way kind OF neuter,
who comes up three times las they say
drowning people do) every day, namely, at
breakfast, dinner, and tea, and disappears,
submerged beneath the waves of life, dur
ipg the intervals of these events.

EMERSON says "What train ofmeans
to secure a little conversation? This pail

kitchen, these stables, horses, and equip
age, this bank stock and file of mortgages,
country house and cottage by the water
side-all for little conversation, high,
clear, and spiritual Could it not be had
as well by beggars on the wayside? No.
All these things come from successive eff

good as it appeased the animal cravings,

WHAT They SAY.-The Springfield Re-
publican makcs the following comment
upon the IMPORT of our investigation COM
mittcc:
"a legislative committee in kansas
has made - pretty thorough expose of the
way Senator's and Representatives in Con-
grcss are elected in that State. Most OF
the facts reported have long been motor
ions, indeed, but this is the first time any
official notice has been taken of them,
and indicates, We hope, that reform is
beginning in Kansas politics. The Uni
ted States Senate, in view Of the many
investigations it has on hand, is perhaps
excusable for not making any inquiries
into the stories that have long been cir
culating derogatory IL the Kansas Sen
ators. But with the verdict of the Han
sas Legislature before il, VIC do not see
how it can honorably allow the Senators
from that State TO retain their seats"

rHE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The c.e .tion returns from New lamp
shire are not complete and 1t is difficult
to ascertain how the State has gone. The
dispatches Of last night indicate that the
Republican ticket was about SOD ahead,
but returns from some places would
materially reduce that amount. There
are SO many different tickets in the field
it is questionable whether any one OF
them will receive . majority over all the
rest. In that casc, the contest will b.
transferred to tho Legislature, which, We
understand, is Republican by small
majority. The campaign in New Hamp
shire has been very exciting, some OF
our most eminent men have taken the
the stump in that State. The Rcpubli.
can element has predominated in New
Hampshire Of late years, but the many
splits, caused by the temperance reform
crs, revenue reformcrs, &c, has proved
very disastrous to the prospects Of the
Republican party.
IlArER.-Newsn now comes that the Stat,
has gone Republican by about 5000 ma
jority.
