The Virginians are congratulating
themselves that their State has escaped
the calamities which have befallen South
Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas, and other
States that are suffering the consequences
of Carpet-bag misrule. The fact re-
minds us that, in 1869, the Conserva-
tives nominated a State ticket, headed
by Col r. L. Withers that subsequent
ly two Republican tickets, the Extremists
headed by Wells and the Moderates
headed by Walker, entered the field.
Thereupon Col. Withers, with large
white majority at his back, withdrew
from the race, leaving the contest to the
two Republicans. Walker was elected,
and the Old Commonwealth, with her
youth renewed, commenced a career in
selfgovernment which has secured hap
piness and prosperity to her people. But
where is the State that has displayed the
fortitude and self-denial Of the grand
Old Dominion in war? Where is the
State that has proved herself her equal
in craftsmanship in peace?

The chairmain of the Democratic State
Central Committee of Iowa, Hon. j. T.
Irish, has issued an address setting forth
that the Democratic party will make nc
nominations for the coming State elec.
ton, but will support the ticket of the
anti Monopolists. In announcing this
policy, Mr. Irish says:
Whether the new organization shall rem

the Democratic party depends upon the

purposes are right, and that its triumph

Another Yelled Knight.

Another knight, with visor down,
plunges frantically into the newspaper

them in ''unholy dalliance," that the

with a rigmarole Of fshmarket slang.
Where did this writer get his facts, and
where did he get his license to sit III
judgment upon and asperse other mems
motives because he suspects them of not
agreeing in opinion with him? The Me
ridian Gazette does not reveal his ident-
ity, but says that he is man of 'eduea-
ton, sagacity and experience" who has
made the hills and hollows Of East Mis-
sissippi fairly ring with his eloquent
voice" Rumor ascribes to him local
habitation and name. 1t says that he
resides at Meridian, and the dame is I'M
charitable enough to whisper that he
lives in a glass house-that having been
fattered by the mention of his name for
the Lieutenant-G Overnorship on the Me-
ridian ticket, if nominated, his own mo-
tives in launching his vulgar TRADE are
liable to the suspicion of selfshness.
Anyway, his imputations are as false as
his manner of indulging them is sly and

win Ames Remain as Governor !:

This question was raised inside the
Republican lines during the canvass for
the nomination, and was not answered by
Ames himself The opinion is prevalent,
however, that after a brief service in the
gubernatorial office, he will expect to re-
turn to the U. s. Senate. This was
virtually admitted by the Prairie News
before the nomination, which said in
reply to the Central Republican at Kos
ciusko:
1t is generally understood among Repub-
licans that Gen. Ames will be the next
Governor. and that 6 tcU depend altogether
upon the Legislature Echether he lciH remain as
Governor the echole term or 90 back to the
United States Senate. Gen. Ames is in the
hands of the Republican party, and if the
party desires his return to the Senate, we
suppose he tcilt obey the behests OF the nartg.
There is no programme rs to W hat Gen.
Ames win do after he il elected Governor
all depends upon the will OF the party, and
as good and true Republican. we have
nothing to fear ii Gen. Ames is elected

The work of the Changers in the West
is beginning to be felt. Considerable
reduction has been made in the rate of
railroad freights on some of the long
lines through that region. The farmers
are thus beginning to show their power
by organization. Though the farming
interest is the largest and most import
ant in the country, and those connected
with it are far more numerous than in
any other industrial pursuit, the farmers
heretofore have not exercised, as Il class,
the influence they might ; but this is all
being changed. The grangers' move
ment, if conducted properly, must have
great effect. The railroad power is not
likely to yield to any small or ordinary
pressure, but it is becoming evident that
the farmers combination can bring the
monopoly to reasonable terms.

bandry now numbers upwards of 5000
oranges, having increased over 800 dur

increase will not fall short of 200 per
month. In Pennsylvania a State grange
will be organized on the 18th Of Septem-
Der. 1t has taken root in Massachusetts,
and promises to spread rapidly in the
