RICHMOND COLLEGE.

We publish In another part of our paper
to-day the complimentary card of the Rich
mond Bar upon William A. Maury, ESQ.,,
recently appointed by the Trustees of Rich
mond College Professor of the Law School
connected with that institution. We have
not the pleasure of an acquaintance with
Professor Maury, but the high commenda-
ton accorded him by the Bar of this
city could not have been extorted ex-
cept by superior legal attainments and
great personal worth and fitness for the
position he has been selected to fill. We
are pleased to see that the Richmond Bar,
composed as it now is of many eminent legal
gentlemen, is taking so warm and lively an
interest in our local college, and especially
in that branch of it which promises so large

Chair in Richmond. We know Of no point
In the whole South where the experiment
of permanently founding Law School can
promise better results than right here in
the city of Richmond, and under the
auspices of the Richmond College, with its
energetic board of trustees and able facul-
ty. We understand that at no time
since the foundation of the college
have its prospects been more fattering than
those under which it will soon open its
fall session. The attendance in the acade-
mical department will be large, and all
branches of the institution will be well
filled.
1t is evident that the faculty fully UNDER
stand the wants and demands of the public,
and are slowly paving their way, through
the college as the cornerstone of the
system, to the proper university founda-
tons. It only remains for the people OF
Richmond to respond to the efforts of the
Trustees and Faculty of Richmond College,
in their constantly augmented facilities for
instruction, to make our city second to pone

KEEP UP ORGANIZATION.

Thorough organization is the secret of
great victories. A well-organized army
can beat double its own force badly disci-
pinned. In numbers we are stronger than
our opponents, in organization we are supe-
rior, and the signs of the times indicate our
certain victory in November. But we want
something more than barren yictory-a vic.
tory that leaves us the field, and permits
the enemy to retire in good order-we
want victory that will stand through all
time as warning to ambitious men, who
would barter principles for power. Greeley
has gone over to the trading Democracy,
because he wants to be President. They
accept him because they think, or did think
at the time of the bargain, that he could be
elected, and thus serve their purposes in the
future. Now, to break up this coalition,
and to administer to such men as Greeley
lasting rebuke, we must make their
defeat an overwhelming one. We can do
it if we but work for that end. Every man
must be active in the good cause. Every
man has some influence. The weak must
contribute their share, the strong must lead
the way. Organize campaign clubs in
every town. Appoint canyassers who will
do thorough work. See every doubtful
man, and present the issue fairly. 1t
needs no cloquence to commend its merits
to any fair-minded man. The acts of the
Administration speak for themselves.
They cannot be successfully attacked.
Invite attack by challenging our opponents
to impeach them, then refute every charge
by the presentation Of facts. Spread be.
fore the public Republican documents,
They will do their work effectually, and sci
the people thinking.
When your clubs are organized, send
the names of your officers and your local.
ty to the State Central Committee at Rich
mond, and request supply of docu
ments. Work early and late from now
until November see that every Republi
can voter properly deposits his ballot, ant
then you can rest from your labors and en-
Joy with good conscience the fruits of tn
glorious victory you helped win. You have
leader who has proven as great on tn
field of politics as he was on the field o
battle. See to it, that he receives from
the hands of grateful people that earnes
support which his services entitle him tt
receive.

DANGER or LOSING VOTES FOR GRANT

DANGER OF LOSING VOTES FOR GRANT
The importance Of carrying this State for
Grant and Wilson at the coming election
cannot be overestimated. Next in impor-
lance to the triumph of our ticket in the
country at large, is the triumph of the ticket
In this State. We want to rescue Virginia
from the tyrannical caucus rule which is
now fast running her. We want our adj.
mrable Constitution, with its grand system
of public schools and other benefcient
measures, administered by its friends and
not by its enemies. We want Governor
and Legislature that will bring tolerance,
peace and prosperity within all our bor-
ders that will encourage immigration
and aid in the development of all our
splendid and boundless resources. All
this can be easily secured by carrying the
State this fall for Grant. Once rescue this
State from the intolerant, proscrlptive
Democratic Walker-Tr e-Republcan y
Conservative party, and we are free
Future contests will result in easy victories
and our full deliverance be at hand.

OUR ELLCTOR IN THE FOURTH

Hon. Ross Hamilton was selected by the
regular Congressional Convention held at
Farmville, on the 10th of July, as the
Presidential elector for the Fourth district,
to be supported, of course, by the Repub.
licans of the entire State. 1t is matter of
just pride that we can present the name of
such gentleman for the suffrage of the
people of this State. 1t is fitting that so
worthy representative of the "honest
sons of toll should be selected by the
people of Virginia as one of their electors
to cast the vote of our State for those two
noble representatives of the working
classes-Grant and Wilson. The colored
people feel just pride that one of the best
of their race in this State is put forward in
so conspicuous and honorable position in
our public affairs.

THE DIFFERENCE.

" Hands on your Observation-Disclosures
gang Porter is in town." was the greeting
which the Petersburg hader gave Mr.. Por-
ter's first appearance in Petersburg. Now
it speaks of him as " the Honorable Charles
ii. Porter" Why the difference? Since
his first visit Porter has produced :" diyi-
sions, discussions and discords in the Radi-
cal party" When they believed him true
to the Republican party the Democrats had
no use for him; now as he is of immense
value to them, they feel profound respect
for him.
