The Issue in Virginia.

A correspondent of the CONNER
cial, writing from Richmond in regard
to the campaign in Virginia, says:
"The person who reads and CON-
pares the platform adopted by the Re-
publicans at Lynchburg and the plat
form adopted by the Conservatives at
Richmond, will wonder>where the diff
ference between the parties is. 1t is
not to be found in these pronuncia-
mentos. The contest is race against
race. The negroes are banded togeth-
er as one man. They have their oath
bound leagues, their MasOns, Odd
Fellows, Sons of Temperance, and
other benevolent and charitable 0rgan-
izations, every one of which is per-
feet piece of political machinery
They vote solidly the Republican tick
ct. They never break ranks. Rarely
does one desert. They never turn
their backs to the enemy. They are
the best organized, truest and most
reliable voters on earth. It makes no
matter who their candidate is, they
never bolt. Their employers can
never intimidate or persuade them
They are ever faithful party men, and
if they only had the numbers there
would never be any but negro or car
pet-bag or scalawag officials in Fir-
ginia. The whites have accepted the
issue forced upon them, and the news
papers and speakers are now all call
ing upon the white men TO form in
battle array with close ranks to repel
the aggressive warfare of the negroes.
This is the real issue in the canvass,
black against white.
There are in Virginia no white Re-
pubiicans except those who have held
Office, those who hold office and those
who want Office Republieanism is
not here what it is in the North and
West. The whites do not mean to be
crowded down by the negroes. The
forlorn condition of North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and other
Southern States, warn them that de-
feat in this election means mixed
schools, enforced social equality, a
plundered treasury, ruinous taxation,
upon immigration, cessation
of all internal improvements, and woe
and miseary unutterable and immeas-
urable."

Standard Time.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany has projected an arrangement to
secure an accurate standard of time
throughout the country. The basis of
the proposed system will be the nation
al observatory at Washington, as it is
claimed that there is no other institu-
tion in the country that has so extern
sive appliances for the purpose. A
device has been contrived whereby a
clock in the office of the telegraph
company at New York will be regu-
lated every day at noon by the Obser-
vatorzclock, the former being kept IL
minutes and twelve seconds faster to
represent the difference in time be-
tween the two cities. Thus far the
system is already in operation, but it
is proposed to extend it. To this end
clocks in the depots Of the leading
railroads at each Of the principal cit
les of the country will be regulated by
the clock at New York over the wires
of the company. To complete the
system it is proposed that these clocks
shall have two sets Of hands to indi-
cate at once the standard and the local
time.

| The following communication which
We clip from that live paper, the Gala
tin Examiner, is SO we'll timed and so
applicable to this and other localities.
th:it we give ii entire. Letevery friend
offree schools read and ponder it we'll:
"As the free school system is about
to be put in operation in eur county,
all its friends should exert themselves
to prevent any unnecessary friction.
There should be as much unanimity In
planning and harmony in action as pos-
slble. 1t is evident that the location of
the schools viii not be as eonvenientto
every one as might be desirable. But
let not this be the cause of any luke
warmness in the encouragement and
support given to them. Let not any
real or faneied partiality on the part Of
the directors, damp the ardor and zeal
of the people. Let any reasonable sac
rifice OF convenience be made by every
one for the promotion of the general
cause. Let every one endeavor to di-
vest himself of fault-fnding spirit.
Let anywrong workings that may be
developed in the operation of the system
becorrected bya friendly discussion nand
cooperative action. Let no obstacles
be thrown in their way, but every pos
sible obstacle removed. Said ancsrnest
friend of the cause to me a few days
ago, Il intend to send to school, let the
school be located in whatever portion
of the district it may be- This is the
right kind of a spirit. Let it every
where be cherished and manifested
And wherever there are school houses
to be built let every one assist by con-
tributIon or labor or in any way be can.
There is q vast amount of latent
strength and energy in the people Of
our county, capable, when fully devel-
Oped and properly directed, of making
our free schools grand success. Fell
low citizens let US have some county
pride in regard to this matter. Would
it not be a glorious thing for old Sum-
ner TO be the banner county Of our
State in the management and success
of the schools. Every dollar invested
in this enterprise willyield perpetual
ly compounding interest. We bave to
pay for the pauperism and crime of our
county n0leRs UOIeRS. Let US supply
the means whatever they may be, to ed
ueate the rising generation, thus pre-
venting, to a very great extent, the
and crime. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure"

A Sanare Joke ON the LaMTers.

Rickel was telling us the other day
a good joke on the legal profession
In a German settlement, no matter
where, he had been called on in a suit
before a. Justice, in which Schneider
(but that is not his name) was a party.
The case was decided against Schnei-
der, and the old man was naturally
detected, discouraged and diseonsolate,
and sat in the midst Of the crowd with
his head between his hands. The con-
versation run on law, and some one
described a picture representing cow
with the plaintiff tugging at the horns
and the defendant pulling the tail,
while lawyer on each side is draw
ing the milk. This aroused Schnei-
der, and he said: "Oh, dat is nodings,
I know Won besser ding as dat on der
lawyers" What is it? what is it 2''
eagerly cried the listeners. And he
told them: There was once man
so sick that he thought he must die,
and he sent for two lawyers that he
might have one on each side and die
like Jesus Christ"

With q masters Skflifui hand
And have left their lives bright story
As guerdon to the land.

That would else impede our way,
And revealed tOu the wonder

Of the backward gliding years
All the profits, all the pleasures,
All the conflicts, all the fears.
May 1t be our great endeayor
To press onward with the bests
Nothing daunted. may we never
Give ourselves moments rest,
Think not that the hours will linger
For some noble work undone.
Time with fixed unerring finger,
Points us to the setting sun.
When the last brave word is spoken.
When the day for us Is DER.
When the glass of lifeis broken.
And the sand shall run no more
When our deeds have been rewarded,
Both the evil and the good
