AS to whether we "would object to their (the
negroes) thus voting, we have only to say; on
their own account, as well as for the good of
society generally, we would rejoice to see such
their part but they must come as humble fol.
lowers, not as leaders Wing. .-r.. = q.
But they can give far better evidence
of conservatism and hberality" by voting,
as they do, for the Republican party, than
by going into the Coalition ranks as ''hum-
BILE followers, not leaders," And pre-
cisely here is where we want the Soon
sentative party" absurdly so called, to
stick their discriminating peg. That party
voted unanimously for the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments, which declare
against all distinctions on account of race
or color, and now it clamors against the
right of color for any other distinction
than that of being the tall-piece of the Con-
servative party. The negroes of Virginia
have not asked, and do not ask, that they
shall supcrcede the white men in the gov
erninent Of the state. They are willing to
accept the test of intelligence, qualification
and character, in the selection of candi-
dates for the Republican party, and would
no doubt do the same were they acting with
the Conservative party. In this they have
shown far more good sense and Judgment
than those who appeal to ignorance and
prejudice in order to array "whites against
blacks" in the state. 1t is this baleful
issue we seek to avoid. The Conservative
party has raised it, however, in order to
create a mountain out of mole hill,
from which a very ''ridiculus musv
may be brought forth in our November
election. But, unfortunately for The Wing
and the party it represents, there is no
historic instance in which such petty
'smole hill" as it seeks to create, ever
gave birth to mouse even. The history of
political obstetrics in this line will have
to commence in Virginia. 1t can be in
stanced in no other age or country.

Third. That of gobbling up the James
River and Kanawha canal (the property of

railroad ring should fail in the ends sought,

eftectually subsidized and controlled for all
time.
The good men from the North" who
are appealed to to aid in "upholding the
great Conservative party" of Virginia,
would do we'll to come from Wall street
and share in the general plumber of these
three grand Conservative measures and we
would advise them to bring enough of the

The Old Commonwealth, in speaking of
the Hon. George E. Deneale and the
speech recently delivered by him in Har-
risonburg, says that "Colonel Deneale is a
stumper of the first water, and not of a
second-class, even in Virginia." 1t further
says that his "politics previous to the war
were Democratic of the strictest sect. and
now his voice still turns back to the old
Democratic slogan. We hope he may so
shape his thoughts as to make them har-
monte with the cardinal ideas of the
fathers Of the Republic. But we shall
await his next presentation"
We also express the same hope as to his

ones of the "fathers of the Republic" We

him as one Of the ablest men in the state,
and one Of the truest. too, when it comes to
the question of advancing the interests of

his advocacy of these advancing interests,
and his refusal to tread in party traces,
which virtually ruled him out of caucus in.

The New York Graphic publishes car

scene is the interior of abarn in the coun-
try. In the open doorway stands the
farmer, small boy and the house dog.
All regard with startled expression the
iron horse, branded 'R. r. Monopoly"
with huge, glaring eye-balls and glittering
white teeth, spouting steam from its nos
trils and deyouring corn from large crib.
Chahticler and the cat have escaped to the
rafters, whence they view with suspicious
eye the insatiate monster. The floor is
thickly strewn with cobs denuded Of corn.
In view of the desperate situation the
farmer is made to say: 81 can't afford

raise to feed him."

REPORTS from there state that the
Delaware peach crop, so far from
having been ruined by the severe
winter weather, as was feared, is like
ly to be the largest ever known. In
New Jersey the indications are equally
favorable, 50 that peaches are likely to be
cheaper and more plentiful this year than
ever before. The condition of the crop in
these states and in Maryland is in accord
ance with results observable in Illinois and
other Western states, where frost that
seems to stop barely short of killing the
trees is nearly always followed by an un-
usually large crop. In this state, so far
as we have seen, and been able to learn,
the crop is looking finely, and an abundant
yield may be expected. .... -. $500.

THE New York Herald prints number
of communications from various portions of
the South and Southeast, regarding the
growing crops, which show them to be in
an almost unprecedentedly prosperous and
promising condition. In all the southern
states the area of land under cultivation is
much larger this year than at any time
since the war, and if no material drawback
mtervenes before the harvest months to
cheek the growth Of the crops, the produce
tons Of the South this year will be fully
equal to any previous season. As politi-
cal guide The Herald is thought by some
to be a trifle unsafe, but there can be no

New YORK has a strange murderer.
His name is Robert Bleakly; he insists
that he is not insane. he acknowledges
that he killed his niece, and he says if he
did wrong he is the one to suffer for it.
LIS counsel insists, however, that he is
insane, and will defend him on that
ground SO it is not actually certain that
Bleakly is not acting according to we'll
defined programme. 1t ought not to be
difficult to show, for instance, that any
New York murderer who acknowl-
edges a murder and then insists that he is
sane, is just as crazy as man can be.
