Hughes at Norfolk.

La his speech at Norfolk on Tuesday last,
Hughes denied that he had said to Watson that
he would not run upon ticket with negro
candidate.
He also said that whilst it would be improper
for him to say whether, as Governor. he would
approve or veto bill establishing mixed
schools, yet as al individual and citizen be
would say that he was opposed to mixed schools,
and believed they would be desl ruciive of the
free school system.

Honest Conservative Government.

Gen. Kemper in his admirable Wauenton
speech thus referred to the administration Of
public affairs in Virginia under Const rVative
rule:
SO fairly has the State Government in Vir-
GINA been conducted, and SO justly have the
negroes been dealt with that the most prying
eyes Of Federal Office holders and detectives
have been unable to make out single case Of
violation Of civil rights in Virginia. Only day
or two ago the African conference of the color
ed Methodist church in Virginia met in Rich
mond and bore testimony to this effect. Yet
Colonel Hughes had dared in his Lynchburg
speech to arraign The people of Virginia for
hostility to the colored race"

The Best Delegates.

We are pleased to observe that the conserva-
tive county conventions which have made nom
nations tor the Legislature, have, so far, made
good ones. We hope this will be the case
throughout the State, for this is time when
Virginia should have Der best men in the Leg
islature. Augusta County can and should send
as good delegation as any county in the State.
The Convention should nominate the men best
qualified by talents and character without ref.
erence to locality. It should not regard the as
plrations, but the qualifications of men Virgin
la demands the services of her purest and abes,
cltlzans, and such should be nominated wheth
er aspirants or not.

CANDIDATES IN SHENANDoAH.-In Shenan-
doah county there are already seven candidates
Tor the House of Delegates and seven for Coun-
" treasurer and still more, it is said, will an
nounce themselves. The people should hold a
convention and select as candidates the best
men IN the county without regard to whether
they are asplrants or not. The fact that man
IS an asplrant gives him no claim to a nominal
ton by a convention. The people in each
county of the State should nominate whom
they wish to have to serve them, and they should
be men of character and intelligence.
