PATHETIC, But USELESS.

The Virginia Chronicle, or civilians
Own" is becoming positively pathetic.
II begs, it entreats, it beseeches the Re-
publicans Of the State "to cast to the
winds all the absurd talk about party
iealty, and to vote at the ensuing cleo.
ton the ticket which represents the
clearly expressed will OF the people, the
ticket which you know is the best ever
placed before the voters of Nevada-the
ticket nominated by the Democratic
party" How nice that would be. would
it not? WHAT a trihing request, and so
modestly and artlessly expressed. The
Chronicle, with charming naivete that
is all its own, for no one else would own
it, merely asks the Republicans Of
Nevada to stultify their own record, to
turn their backs on the party that saved
the country and restored the nation, to
forsake the principles for the establish
ment of which SO much blood has been
shed, so much toll expended, so much
grief, misery and agony endured. The
Chronicle asks the Republicans of this
State to do all this. and for what, to
vote the Democratic ticket so that
Sharon will not be elected to the United
States Senate and that Williams would.
What modest request and what an
adequate reason, especially when we
recollect that it is Williams own
paper that asks for this concession.
To such demand as this serious reply
is almost out Of place, as it would not be
made by any one that was not rendered
reckless by desperation or besotted by
prejudice. Still it may well be answered
that the Republican hosts of this State
will never tarnish their own record, oi
that Of the State, by sending to the U. S
Senate any man that has the faint Of Sc
cession on him. whether it be much Oh
/ little, and to ask them to vote for Demo
cratic Legislators is to ask them to de
that very thing, for that would elect Viii
liams. They know this is SO, and the
will no more consent to fall from and de-
sert the principles for which the
, have sacrificed SO much, than twely
years ago they would have refuse
to hearken to the call Of their distresse

The opinions of the Northern press on
the uprising against the Kellogg usurpa-
ton in Louisiana may be easily sum-
married.. The independent journals
agree that while the complaints of the
McEnery party are all founded on the
truth. yet the revolution they resorted to
is upjustihable and unwise. since the
only logical course for the Government
to pursue is to reinstate Kellogg. The
less partisan of the Republican journals
blame Congress for the whole trouble,
and say the President must sustain KEEL
logg; but the greater portion Of the party
press condemn the uprising as an indica-
ton OF the old rebellious spirit, and
hence as proof Of the necessity Of keep
ing the party in power until the war is
completely ended. The Democratic
journals charge the whole trouble to the
Administration, and denounce the sup
port of the Kellogg usurpation as an out
rage upon republican institutions.-TS.

only to be subsidized by the railroad,

that the losses Of their dupes is nothing

In California there is one of those
pestiferous fellows who is blessed with
a grievance. This individual is Profess
sor Carr, who was one of the faculty OF
the California University. He did not
suit and was told to resign, but would
not, and then was very properly kicked
out. Now he is running all over the
country telling his piteous tale of woe to
any one who is fool enough to listen to
him. The best thing the Professor can
do, is to go in partnership with some
honest GRANGER, and quit boring people.

few timid squirrels darted here and there,
hldlng from our view. Before starting for
nome, we stopped at the hotel while to rest.
We found the people of Panama exceedingly
Jolly. AS we sat at the hotel windows we
were entertained most delightfully."-. The
postmaster, in particular, contributed to our
amusement, who. Immediately opposite our
windows, performed such dextrous feats with
little black dog as to. excite the admiration
OF our whole party; in fact, we were at a
loss to determine which antics were the most
surprising, those Of the postmaster or the
dog. After we had started for home, and
were casting our last 'longing, lingering
looks behind" we discerned on the edge of
a distant wood, amid the laborers, and burn
ing bush. no other than the Hon. Walter r.
Sessions. Congressional Representative of
that district. Glad to see the hon orabe GEN
tleman in even these unfavorable circum-
stances, we watched him till he faded from
our view, the last, but by no means least,
of Panama.
AS We Touc Oh, VIC were inclined to relapse
into silence, when one of our party broke
forth with the familiar strains of John
Browns Ten Little Indians. The influence
went through the party like an electric shock,
and we all joined in the chorus; after which
we were "Going to Ride Up in the Chariot
Sooner in the Morning." then we were sud-
denly "Out on the Ocean Sailing;" then
1--WE were almost there ;" and ended by de-
claring we "Shouldn't Go Home Till Morn
ing" We did go home, however, reaching
there just as the moon was rising above the
distant hills. If the people of Panama were
more Jealous in making the rocks more Access
sible to strangers, they would add to the con-
venience of those who find pleasure in visit
ing them. There has been talk of connec-
ton being made between them and Chau.
tauqua Lake. If this is accomplished, it will
add greatly to the attractions of this already
delightful resort, and those who come from
year to year to enjoy the pleasures of the
lake will find double entertainment in explor-
ing the caverns and assures of Panama

70 tie Editor ofNe Mio National Era:
That the South is again to become a source
Of much trouble to the nation is apparent to
every candid observer. The recent elections
there, together with reliable information
daily accommodating, portends a condition of
affairs and tendency to worse that is really
disheartening to all who truly have the in
terest of that section at heart, whatever may
be their color or particular political creed.
The outrages upon inoflensive and peaceable
citizens on account of political difference are
again reviving, and cannot but tend to the
detriment of the dearest interest of the
South in more ways than one. Many Of us
had hoped that the day of such atrocities
had passed. That returning to their "sober
second thought" the Southern people would
adopt different and far more eflective-not
to say legitimate-way of acquainting the
nation with their grievances, if indeed this
may be considered the cause which has given
rise to the troubles and difficulties from which
they have suffered so greatly. If the facts,
which are so rapidly developing themselves,
can be considered of any importance in the
formation Of our opinion as to the true feel
ing of the Southern people, we are carried
despite our inclination and desires to the con-
trary, to the conclusion that they have never
really and in good faith accepted the situa
ton. They still retain hope, however
faint or distant, Of so multiplying the work o

'"eir verdict, that 1t was Justlfiable homicide,

Again, on the night Of the oath, three
white men went to the house of one of our
most respectable colored citizens while he
was absent from home and ATTEMPTED to
break in, and was only prevented by the
screams of his wife, which attracted the
neighbors to her house before they could
carry out their nefarious design. Two of the
men succeeded in getting away, but the other
one was little too late, and, consequently.
took refuge under the house he was soon
brought out, and turned out to be one of the
Columbia county Ku-Klnx, by the name of
Shockley, and resides about twenty-five
miles from the city. Now, the upshot of this
affair is this: Mr.. Robert Cumming. the
young man who lived in this house, is first
lieutenant of a colored military company in
this city; and it is generally supposed that
their object was to kill him for this oflense.
This belief is strengthened from the fact that
these three men were heard to say in con-
versation with each other by two persons that
they were going to kill a negro that night.
The one that was caught was carried before
the recorder Of our city the next morning
and charged with simple breach of the
peace and fined twenty-five dollars. This
Is the end it. WATERMAN,

To the Editor If the Nor National Era:
The political affairs of this, the Metropol-
tan district of Virginia, are so mixed that
one scarcely knows whether to be for Paul
or Silas.
The Conservatives have nominated ex-
Governor Walker for Congress, and if the
doctrines of Mrs. Woodruff and their female
sullragists was in operation, Walker would
perhaps be elected, being more noted for his
beauty than his brains.
The principle candidates among the Re-
publicans are j. Amber Smith, present in
cumbent, Col. Rush Burgess, and Hon. l.. II.
Chandler.
HON. J. AMBLER SMITH.
This gentleman, for a young man, had one
of the brightest openings of any person in
the State. lie served well in the State Sem
ate, and upon his removal to Richmond, re-
ceived the nomination Of the Republican
party of this district, and was elected Il menu
Der of Congress.
Smith is not an orator, nor has he any pre-
tensions towards oratory; his great field is
in wire-pulling, political scheming, &c. He
has, however, alicnated the good feelings of
the people towards him; first, because he
could not bring about Smithism, L. c.--could
not get all of the Smith family into the best
positions; secondly, his total opposition TO
the Civil Rights bill.
He is said to have more influence with the
Conservatives of this district than any other
Republican, and can carry more white votes;
but so great is the opposition to him among
the colored people that his gain from the
whites cannot possibly compensate him 70,
his loss among the colored people, if nomi
mated.

Atpresent it is totally impossible to sa

and thus defeat Burgess.

prevail. 1 have felt, for many years, that

fully understand the true condition of the
colored people down here, and for this reason,
the plan of making the freedmen Independent
tillers of the soil has been overlooked, which
believe is indispensable to their final sue
cess, and to this opinion am more and more
confirmed every day from what see here.
