VIRGINIA POLITICS.

VIhGINIA TOLIIICN.
There is quiet along the Conservative
lines just at this time. but good deal Of
quarrelling among the negroes. They want
say in the running of the Federal offices
in the State, and had meeting last week
at Richmond, at which resolutions were
adopted praisiog their beloved represents
tive" in Congress-J ohm A. Smith, de-
ouncing the suspension of tobacco inspec
tor by Collector Burgess, and lamepiipg
10 the President the continuance Of said
Burgess in Office. The secretary of the SO
called Republican" State Committee lately
commented very severely Oh Grant allowic Q
Mosby to put men in Federal Office, when
the "Republicans" of the State were urging
some one else, and shortly after the negro
whom the Secretary favored land whom Mos
by had defeated, was appointed to Office, which
was considerable victory for Mr.. Wolff
Nearly all the signs in newspaper cores
pondence, both from Washington and
Richmond, point to Ex-Gov. Wise as the
favorite Of the President for the "iudepen
dent candidacy for the Virginia governor
ship, though the Richmond Enquirer
says that Maj. Edward Mcmahon. of staun
ton, is the favorite Of that portion of the
party led by Senator Lewis. The famous
Col. Mosby visited Richmond Wednesday
and was interviewed by a reporter of th'
Dispatch" He denied being Radical,
though be favored Grants admins ton
and desired Virginia to be in ''accord" will
the National Government. He has poo
opinion Of the Radical party of Virginia
and gives the following opinion of the dut,
of the white men of the State in elections
Reporter-Have you ever advised, OF
would you now advise, the people of Vir
ginia to support the Radical party in loea
elections or on the question of State policy
Col. Mosby-As every body knows th1
Radical party in Virginia is composed of :
mass of negroes. led by few white men,
don't think the white people in local cleo
ton ought ever to divide on questions o
Federal politics if they did, the negroes
would get control of the State Government.
[ think the Conservative party en- masst
ought to go over to Grant.
CLOSE OF THE EDUCATIONAL
SEASON..
The Female Colleges Of Stanton, repre-.
senting the Presbyterian, Episcopalian
Methodist, Lutheran and Baptist denomina.
tions have just closed their sessions, and the
six hundred pupils who attended them have
returned to their homes, scattered all through
the union. The history Of the session has
proved several things, the health of the 10 i.
cality for one, there having been but one
death in the whole number in the entire
year; the excellence of the discipline for an
other, there having been the most perfect
order in all the schools. and lastly, the re
munerative value Of the term, there being
about one hundred of the number leaving
for their homes who are already engaged as
teachers at good salaries With these facts
we may look forward to an increase in the
number of the pupils next session, and, it is
stated, those who still have room for more,
are making preparations for them. Our re
porter has given very lengthy historic and
descriptive accounts Of the commencements,
but not longer than their Importance var
rants, and we believe they have been written
with just discrimi nation
