A WAR OF RACES ANTICIPATED.

Huntington FeopIes fapeti JuiY -l'
We learn from very reliable source that
a very bad state of feeling exists between
the whites ard nUsiF6s in tine vicinity OF
tlaFssbdfg in this county. Fears are
entertained of collision between them.
Our informant stated that there was no
division among the whites in the neighbor-
hood as to the proper course to take in
reference to the apprehended troubles. In
the event of any serious trouble, no doubt
can be entertained, but that the Negroes
w,nld be tie heaviest sufferers. At the
Same time, however, we would advise Dru-
dence and forbearance on the part Of all in
order to avoid trouble if possible.

ELSEWHERE in our columns this
morning over the signature of "Citi-
zen" will be found a very full and ex-
ceedingly clear explanation of all the
various charges made by NJ. NJ. Brien,
Jr., in his nightly harangues against
Chancellor w. F. Cooper. 1t is from
the pen of one as well known in the city
and county for his close adherence 10
truth. and whose opportunities for cor
rect information concerning the mat
ters there dealt with, are superior per-
hsps, to those of any person whatsoev-
er. If any of Chancellor Cooper's fel-
low citizens may be supposed to have
heretofore believed, through Brlen's re-
peated assertions, that he could have
been corruptly moved to any act,
whether private or judicial, they Will
find in the card of "CitizeL" so COM
plete a refutation of any such idea as
10 preclude such further belief. We
commend the card to their careful rea-
ing.

THE PROPOSED STATE RANK

We publish an important letter by
Gel. Jpo. g. Rurch, COMPTROLLER of the
State, favoring the re-establishment of
a State bank. As the subject is likely
to receive considerable attention from
our people End Legislators in the near
future, we give the letter entire. Some
strong arguments, it will be admitted
by all, are brought forward in favor of
the measure. Col. Burch is an able
financier and knows, perhaps, as well
as pny ran rhat will give relief to the
State. He will doubtless press this
matter with his usual energy. We shall,
in common with the people of the
whole State, watch the progress of this
movement with great interest.

THE third tenn party is not as yet
very strong in Virginia, if the Rich
m9nd Enquirer tells the truth about 1t.
1t says the GRANTEES are not even a
respectable minority, either in point of
numbers or intelligence, and at most
there are only enough Of them to con-
stitute pleasant fishing party. 1t
adds: "A,few hungry politicians may
greedily catch at the crumbs that fall
from Grants table, and then throw up
their hats and shout until they are
hoarse, hut that shout will find no echo
in the hearts of the masses. We main
tain that no greater evil could possibly
befall our whole country than the cleo

A RECENT humber Of the EcomOnliste
FraRedis enters into an examination of
the causes of the business stagnatiOn
throughout the world. 1t shows that
this stagnation is a phenomenon
not confined te the United States. 1t
exists in England, in France, in North
and South Germany. The cause must
be eoextensive with the effect. Local
conditions have only a secondary inhu-
ence in depressing business. The whole
world it would seem is feeling the eff
fects of an extensive destruction Of cap
ital. Tie panic in this country has
been repeated in nearly every country
in Europe.

WASHINGTON. D. C., July 19.-The
colored Republican organization of this
city is bending its energies 10 defeat
the denomination OF the Republican
members Of Congress who voted against
the Civil Rights bill at the last session.
1t has not only sent letters and circu-
lars into their districts, but in some
cases has sent men out to make per-
sOnal representations of the matter
This has been notably the case in the
districts represented by Messrs. Sener,
Smith and Thomas, in Virginia, where
J, l.. \. Buren, and i. r. Watts, of
this city, were the emissaries.
We find the above telegram in South
ern papers. If it was sent to the Wet
ern Associated Press sc missed it.
The p,pss and Herald notes a recent
sudden change of sentiments among
the Republicans of that district which
it selps to explain. Four weeks asc
Thornburg was The faVc-ite, and If the
election could have been held at that
time. he would undoubtedly have been
returned for another term. But VOW
the chances are all in fsvof Of Houk.
1t will be remembered that Thornburg
