TIE QUESTION.

At this late day in the canvass ii il
not necessary for us to waste time On
questions of unimportant detail. To
say that the Conservative adminietra
ton Of public affairs has been perfect
in Virginia for the last four years would
be foreign to cur purposes and resolves
But we can without fear, challenge
comparison with the condition of. anv
Southern State that is ruled by Radi
calls; and we can put the Hughes party
on the defensive and demand to hear
from them proof that they are different
from the people who have plunderea
and manned South Carolina and Florida
But the main issue after all is that Of
race supremacy. Shall Virginia be
governed by us or by them? That is
the question: Shall the ignorance. ia
competence, and inexperience of this
Commonwealth control that class Of the
community which represents ali its
brain power, all its moral stength. ali
its social wealth, all its material poss
essions, and all of its intelligent industry
and useful capital?
That is the question: Victory means
the continued supremacy of the race
that has made Virginia worth living
in. Defeat means the revolutionary
induction to power of people who
have never made civilized or Chris
tian foot print on the sands of time.
The result of what we call the Radi-
cal movement in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
its motive-must if successful, be to
give the destinies of the Commonwealth
into the keeping of the most :rnor-7
ant, the least responsible, the most in
experienced and the least interested
class OF the community. 1t is incom-
prenhensible that at this stage of tie
worlds progress any argument should
be admissible in regard to the right of
ignorance, Indulgence and improyidence
10 assume control of the vast and ysri
ed interests of a civilized and christian
zeo society. There hang upon the is
sue OF the canvass in which we are en-
gagged results much more momeutous
than any which can attach to the deci-
sion, favorable or adverse any problem
OF domestic policy upon which any two
Conservatives may honestly differ.
There hang in the balance here, depen
dent upon the decision Of the people
of Virginia for or against Kemper,
against or for Hughes, questions that

How to Driys,

There IS another point OF Importance
III driving any horse, but especially 3
young one; it is the way you handle
the reins. Most drivers over drive
they attempt too much, and in doing
so distract or hamper the horse with
such d vicious gait that his speed is got
from him by the most artificial process
but such horses are, fortunately, rare,
and hence the style of management re-
qnired cannot become general. The
true way is to let the horse drive him
self, the driver dong little but direct
ing him, and giving him that oonf
dence which horse alone gets in him
self when he feels that a guide and
friend is back Of him The most vicious
and inexcusable style of driving is that
which SO many drivers adopt-viz,
wrapping the lines around either maud
and pulling the horse backward With
all their might and main, SO that the
horse, in point of fact, pulls the weight
back of him with his mouth, and not
with his breast and shoulders. This
they do under the impression that suc;l
a dead pull is needed in order to STEADY
the horse. This method of driving
regard as radically and superlatively
wrong. 1t would tax the ingenuity of
a hundred fools to invent worse ore
The fact is, with rare exceptions there
should never be any pull upon the
horse at all A steady pressure is
allowable, probably advisable; but any
thing beyond it has no Justification io
nature or reason; for nature suggests
the utmost possible freedom of action
of head, body, and limbs, in order chat
the animal may attain the highest rate
of speed; and reason certainly forbids
the supposition that by the bill, and
not by the breast collar, the horse is to
draw the weight attached to it. In
speeding my horse l very seldom grasp
the lines with both hands when the
road is straight and clear from obstruc-
tons. The lines are rarely steadi.F
taut, but held in easy pliancy, and used
chiefly to shift the bit in the animal
mouth, and by this motion Communicate
courage and confidence to him. ! fud
that by this method my horses break
less aud go much faster than wien
driven by men who put the 6ld-fash
Toned steady pull upon them.--iteu;
