Politics In VITRInIa.

The political contest in Virginia is growing de-
eidedly warm, Even the hot weather does moi
dampen the ardor of the Conservatives, who have
rightly rested their cause in the hands OF the
white voters Of the State. We hope they may
succeed If Virginia can be kept out Of the
hands OF the Radicals for few more years, she
will be able to escape the fate OF Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida. RAdicalisln is ruin. Il
has proved so IN every southern state where il has
forced itself upon the people by the votes Of ig-
norant negroes and the outrageous interference
OF Grant and his agents Referring 10 the fall
elections the Richmond ERquireS SAYS,
We admit that the vote In Virginia for Grant
was larger than that for Greeley. But Il must be
remembered that there were more than thirty
thousand men enrolled in the ranks of the Con
seryatives who did not vote for either candidate
for the Presidency. II must be remembered that
those ballots were withheld, not because those
who withheld them were faltering with their
fidelity 10 the principles they professed to ap-
prove, but because they regarded Greeley with
dlsiavor as q representative of their party. IL
must be remembered that the same reasons they
had then for not voting, will not only not prevail
with them 10 pursue similar course next No
vember, but will add 10 their ardor in their de-
termined purpose to carry Conservatism triumph
antly through The State at the fall election, when
their candidates will be unexceptionsble to
them.
