THE FOURTH DISTRICT.

This district has probably the best set OF Re-
publican workers in It of any district in the State
StoWell, when candidate in 1872 received Is 423
votes; this time, l45S3-S4O less than in 1872 and
400 less than Graut received that year. In this
district the Conservative opponent Of StOwell one
Maun, evidently a very small man, received l53
votes more than Mckinney, the gifted orator Of
the SOuthside, received in 1872. The reason OF
this is plain, as We will explain. The White
Leaguers had secret organization throughout
the district-a sort Of Know-NOthing orgsniZa-
tion. To further their ends they first induced a
Mr.. Porter to declare himself an Independent Re-
publican candidate against StoWell, tacitly pledg-
ing him their support. Porter was popular man
with them, as the vote he received shows. He
received in the whole district IS votes, all told,
and no precincts to hear from. The Leaguers
worked quietly, held night meetings, never an
nounced their candidate until noon Of election
day, and yet he received s2O1 votes, l53 more
than Mckinney did in 1872, with an open daylight
organization. The League doubtless existed in
the other districts Of the State, but there was
less necessity in other districts for their keeping
so quiet.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
A CAREFUL ANALYSIS AND CoMPAR

A CAREFUL ANALYSIS AND COMPARE
SON OF THE VOTE.
We have before us the result in the several
Congressional districts OF Virginia as printed in
the Richmond Wing. They are to be canvassed
on Tuesday at Richmond, but the result will not
be different, we presume, from that published.
We, therefore, adopt it as correct. The vote
polled in most of the districts was light one,
and in only four Of them was the vote equal to
that cast in the Presidential contest Of 1872 viz.
The First, Second, Ninth and Fifth. 1t will be
recollected that in 1872 General Grant carried
the State by about eighteen hundred majority;
in 1873, the present Governor (Kemper) swept the
State by nearly $1,000 majority over Hughes,
rendering 1t very difficult and almost impossible
in the late contest to save more than the two dis
tricts actually carried by Plat and StoWeu for
the Republicans.
In the First district the contest for a Con-
gressIonal election was unusually active, and
conducted on the part Of the Democrats, towards
its close, with great bitterness. In the language
of several who have written on the subject, 1.-THE
fires of 81 were kindled afresh." In 1872, Grant
received in this district by the official returns,
lO,4O4 votes, whilst Braxton, the defeated Demo
cratic candidate in that district for that year,
eeieyed 1882 votes, being 46l more than were
cast for Greeley. At the same election Mr..
Sener was elected. In 1873, Kemper carried this
district on larger poll THAN was cast in the
election Of 1872 by T65 votes. At the late cleo
tiOn Mr. Sener poled TO- 4ss votes, or 81 more than
were cast for General Grant, and yet he was de-
feated by 2s5 votes. Mr.. S. is probably the only
Republican candidate, in any section of the
country whose vote is in excess Of that polled for
General Grant in 1872.
IN THE SECOND DISTRICT
the fight was more than usually bitter and malig-
nant. Mr. Plat, who has made faithful and
efficient representative Of his people, was assalled
by the unressoning and inconsistent ConserVa-
tives as a carpet-baEger. Attic same time they
were earnestly supporting Ex-Governor Walker
in the Richmond district, who is VIGOROUSLY
recognized as one Of the worst of that class-a
mere political adventurer. ln1sT2 Grantreceived
in this district l562l votes whilst at this election
Mr.. Plat received Il, 81 votes, and these added
to the ~ received by Mr. Norton show the Repub-
lican vote Of the district to be IL ST. and 800 votes
less than Grant received; but there is no doubt
that Plat has been euchred out of at least 800
votes by the count ofthe Conservative commission.
ers. A loss of 500 votes less than Grant received
will probably cover the whole deficiency in this
district: Hughes carried this district over Kemper
in 1873 by 1859 majority.

anian's bosom does not cherish--onc
aspiration that the whole people Of
the realm will approve? Our evil
plight has become a bitter and crying
shame throughout the land. All men
see and deplore the effect, and if we,
knowing the cause, elect to strike
fairly and CALAMITY at its root, who
shall say US nay?
What would these faint-hearted
trimmers have? They talk of North
crn sympathy! DO they think it pos
sible to drag that hooking phantom
tromdts grave and hold it up to men
who struggle with a living foeG Com
merce, and the things ofleY6! Where
has our commerce strayed before this
deadly hurricane, and what fruits
shall Louisiana live to gather from
the fields of 1876 unless the blight OF
1874 be checked
It seems to lis that men must be
strangely blind to urge such things at
such "a time. There is no need to
screen one single fraction of our pnr-
pose Our cause is just, its aims are
open to the gaze Of men, and that
Northern sympathy whereof we hear
so much is far more likely to attend
us thus than in any weakness or un-
manly subtc1fugo. We seek to wrest
no privilege from henegro; we have
not id the utmost flights Of our de-
sign the theft of any Of his liberties.
1t is simply a question whether we
shall permit him to perfect the desc
luton he has instituted; whether the
owneys Of this State, the patrons OF
it's enterprises, the motive powers of
its progress, shall give it up to IL
cense and oblitcration. This ia the
severe and simple platform of the
White Mans party here. The world
is free to know it all, and those who
tell rs that the world will blame it,
however slightly, are either selfish
traitors with our failure at their
hearts, or timid weaklings whom we
must pot know in this dark hour Of
strife.

From the mail rider from N'nden
and Homer we learn some OF tho par
t;culars of what came near resulting
in a pitched battle.
It seems that upon Saturday, llt'l
inst, while the negroes from the adj
joining country were in the town OF
Homer in crowds, AZ is usual upon
that day, being the time that they are
relieved by contract from work, and
10 their trading and whiskey drink
ing, u negro man had personal diff
tculty with white man, q barber
the negro called the white man q Id
lying s. o. &c., and drew his
revolver to shoot, it is supposed, the
white man Instantly Dire " his and
killed the negro. Whereupon, the
negroes in the town Immediately re-
paired in a body, numbering over two
hundred, to the vicinity Of where the
shooting occurred and demanded that
the white man should be delivered to
them that they might take Vengeance
for having killed one Of their color.
The white citizens Immediately met
and required the negroes to leave the
town in fifteen minutes, which they
did precipitately.
Trouble was still anticipated and
the citizens were fully prepared to
meet the immergency. What does
Mr.(0 Kellogg say now!
