West street man says the lo.--'
funeral he ever heard of
iui'eiss1 10 ~ address of nearly
" Hours length arraigned the Radical
party of Virginia in manner that we
have never heard equalled. He COM
menced by expressing the qualification
he felt in again addressing the people
of Shenandoah, and saddle would ever
be proud of theananner in which Shen-
andoah - the leader of the Old Tenth
Legion, came into the struggle in 1869
and hattled for the Conservative cause.
He said the contest to day was with the
same party, with the same principles,
which then sought to sheckle us with
disfranchisement and take our libetty.
The Radical party composed of
's-ssiaesg foe5 aud Ito white men, most
Of whom were seeking position and re-
spectibility by associating with the ne
gro. Some of the white radicals he be-
lieved were honest, but how they could
affiliate with the Radical party of yir
ginia and satisfy their consciences was
8 mystery.
The sun, he said in all its glory is not
more plainly seen than is the line Of de-
sniarkation which divides the contend
ing parties of Virginia. The conserva-
tive party was the only party which
recognized the political equality of all
men, While the Radical party was to-
day 5the party of hatred, test oaths, dis
ehisement and political-iasqaaiit
In proof of this he referred to the two
clauses in the Underwood Constitution
known assthe DISTINGUISHING and test
oath clauses the former depriying one
third OF the white people ofthe State Of
the right Of suffrage, the latter, more
infamous still disqualified every white
man who had been true to his State and
honest to himself from holding Office or
sitting on july Wells, his opponent
in 1869, received 1o1,oU0 votes, $4,000
of which were for retaining these odious
clauses He then in mastering argu-
ment showed that the Radical party
srood-on the same platform to day.
And yet they had the impudence to ask
the people of Virginia to put them in
power. Gov. Walker said he had en-
deavored ia vain to see even a plausible
reason why Conservative should de-
sert his party.
The Radicals claim to be the poor
mans party. In one sense this was
rue Tor q more pecunious horde never
fded together, but they are mighty
poor party for poor man. This cry
of being the poor mans party is the
same cry which had but a short time

Post holes are safe property. You may
leave them out doors over night, without fear
that they will be stolen. They are in pecu.
liar sense personal property. Your neighbors
may be blessed with a wealth of post holes,
while vOu alas! have never a one; but no
matter how generous his heart, how great
Your necessities, he can not give you the first
blessed post hole. Post holes have been too
long neglected subject among scientific
men They teach most forcibly the lessons
of life What more pleasantly suggestive
than u young post hole? You crush with
careless spade the tender turf, and note, with
IN amused eye, the hurryng to and fro OF
strange bugs and contortions of uneasy
worms The upper soil comes lightly from
its bed and YOU have no thought of sorrow,
but AS YOU approach its middle age the post
hole gives more than "a hint of the stern reali-
ties of life. Stony obstacles block the way.
The scanty earth, gathered with infinite labor
on the spade, slides back so like worldly
riches. The work of excavation becomes
serious and requires that every faculty be
kept on the alert; and there are times when
vOu really doubt whether the world of post

hard clay stubbornly refuses to come to the

Than any other post hole is abandoned. The
career OF post hole is ended and has failed to
meet the expectations of its friend above. /,
such is life, YOU know, or at least you will |
