The Defect ion of the Blacks.

The complete returns of the election in
Virginia afford another illustration of the
truth that the political revolution of this
year was not produced SO much by Demo-
cratic gains as Republican losses
In that State the main contest in 1872 was
on congressman. Then the Conservative
candidates received in the aggregate "a, 500
votes. and the Republicans 3d. 9l4, thus giving
the former a majority Of less than one thou.
sand. At the election of last month the Con-
sentative nominees for Congress got 90, 6s5
votes, while their Republican opponents OBJ
tanned only 76, 5G5, thus giving the former a
majority of more than seventeen thousand.
1t will be seen that though the Conserva-
tive majority has increased by 10000 in the
past two years their vote is smaller now than
1t was in 1872. The change is due to the fact
that the Republican vote, as compared with
that cast in 1872, has fallen Oft more than
1000
This falling of is of unusual significance
because it is due to growing dissatisfaction
with Grantism among the colored voters.
They have caused this change in Virginia. 1t
was also owing to their detection in Louisiana
that Kellogg and his venal crew were beaten,
aud are now trying to count ip by fraud. The
newspapers say that 90 900 negroes voted with
the Democrats in Georgia. In short, the
freedmen rendered valuable service in the re-
cent elections, and contributed an element
essential to the overthrow of the administra-
ton in all the carpet-5ag States.

What Bret Harte SAYS Of Us.

s<Gath" writes from Washington to the
Chicago Tribune:
The poet, Bret Harte, the most felicitous
short story writer since Hawthorn, has just
returned from the South, where he has been
lecturing at Atlanta, Macon, Milledgevllle ana
other places. His refined nature and lndlfler-
ence to politics gives him some value as q
critic Of things below the line OF war lie
said to me:
"Those people have suffered beyond any
idea have entertained, but do not see how
the present generation is TO recover l never
cot rid of the idea that I was in foreign
country, and often, proceeding to talk with
some man superior in his nelghborhood, l
found that we had no point of agreement as
to primary principle. Our very thoughts
have been planted in unlike soils.
Entering a cemetery of the Confederate
dead in - said Harte, 81 was touched
with this remarkable sign over the portal:
"sWe mourn our dead, Perkins and
Smith
81 called my friend, the town-man's atten-
ton to the powerful contest of Perkins and
Smith, and then the matter was explained.
They were q couple of Yankees, looking out
for something to speculate in, and by that
time the country had been picked clean SO
they began to stir Up the impulses OF patriotic

fancy of that kind Of sharp-wittedness which
has built up the riches of the North.
"Their women of the superior families"
said Harte, 50 surpass ours in real intrinsic
strength, and are very far superior to their
men. never heard such English spoken as
at some Of the private houses Il visited. Pro-
priety without frigidity, and classical anna
bility, met me very frequently. At the same
time, some of the little conveniences, without
which we could not get along, are wholly alb
sent from households, otherwise very perfect.
Their cuisine might be remedied.
Georgia is superb State, with such lati-
tude of climate and scenery that it reminded
me of California I saw some views there, at
mospheric, ford and scenic, that never saw
surpassed. And, in character, costume, and
that nameless aerial relation Of people and
things, which makes effects, the South is
much better adapted to illustration in itera-
ture than the North.
"Why, at --, as I sat in the hotel in
that drowsy, satisfying air, felt that, if
were to stay there a year, would be Just like
the rest OF the people, and want to put my
legs higher than my head, and hardly talk, SO
much was the effort"
Harte thought the Northern people were
ignorant of the South. "For my part" he
said, 81 had not the faintest idea Of the
country"

covery that the returns elected Smith to the

This parish, it will be recollected, was the
one in which Leloire. the State Supervisor OF
Registration, acted as commander-in-chief OF
the force of L. S. soldiers which overrun the
parish, and Leloire is the same individual
who tried in SO many little games to prevent
the registration of the whites.
He worked hard, and SO did the troops
Obcying orders-and yet the Conservatives
carried the parish by 21S votes, the state
ments crediting Moncure with 921, and Dubu-
slet with 704. This was not to be borne, and
accompanying the papers came a document
from one A. Vigers, successor OF Leloire, re-
lating in erteaso the horrible outrages of the
White League, all of which was duly SUBJ
scribed and sworn to and corroborated by
other individuals of the same class as Vigers,
among whom was Leloire. 1t was solemnly
affirmed that, by the doings of the league, 264
votes were lost to the party.
Lowell, who had been very happy in the pc
rusal of copy Of the statement of Vigers, at
its conclusion waxed wroth and insisted that
the parish should be thrown out on the face
OF the document, and "the Governor mott
fed and requested to issue call for a new
election.
Mr.. Cavanac, Of Conservative counsel, very
quietly said that he had few affidavits him
self, and presented about two hundred from
citizens alleging that they had been deprived
OF the right of registering.
Wells thought the entire matter had better
go over, and over it went.
Wells expressed his inability on account Of
illness to attend an evening session, and the
board adjourned until 10 o'clock to-day.

Chicago is rather proud of very gentle
manly thief who is now working in the fash
ionable residences of the city. He is young
man of dandy cut, polished manners and a
GLIB tongue. He has been seen several times
in the houses he has harvested of money and
jewelry, but suspected too late to be caught
He meets one Lady at her own front door re-
turning home, and politely apologies for
having made a mistake in the house. She
soon finds out that her chamber has been in
vaded and her jewelry is gone. Another
lady comes home and finds stranger
in her parlor fixing his hair
and viewing himself in e glass,
as though he had just made call and wished
TO get his appearance up to the mark before
anybody came in. He suddenly finds that he
has mistaken the house of his lady friend,
who lives on the next block, and after many
excuses for his intrusion bows himself out
The ladies of that house find that they will
have to lay in new stock of jewelry. He
thus robs his victims before their very eyes,
and his genteel appearance and charming adj
dress help him in and out of peoples houses
at his vii and pleasure. Pittsburg has Just
had such fellow as this, and the Chicagoans
are justly certain that they have ''pittsburg
Jack among them.

An Angel in the. Form of a Dwarf.
From the ST. Louis Republicans Report of Mrs
e. H. Burnhams Lecture.

From the st. Louis Republicans Report OF Mrs.
II. H. Burnham's Lecture.
In her defense of the stage and actresses,
she mentioned two burlesque blondes-Eng-
lish girls whom she had known with the Lydia
Thompson troupe.
They had been cared for by a maiden aunt
Patty, who had raised and educated them.
They were honest, pure girls, though they
were in the de-burlesque business, and
they told the lecturer the story Of their lives.
She learned to love that old Aunt Patty.
When she went to England she found out
the burlesquers, and they said how much
Aunt Patty had wanted to see her, and then
the confession was made that Aunt Patty was
dwarf, who, when the mother Of the girls
died, had exhibited herself es dwarf for
fourteen years in the side-show OF MENACE
RE and circus to support those two girls and
three others, five nieces in all. Mrs. Burn
hams description Of the old dwarf ended
with dash OF feeling which would have done
credit to Dickens. "And thank God, not
one Of those five girls have failed in the de-
votion Of their lives to that Christian woman,
whose heart was as that Of giant thro bbing
for those little ones in the coarse casket of a
dwarf" And again: :" I shall find Aunt Patty,
that fearful looking dwarf in Heaven as surely
as l shall not find some very good-looking
people whom know very well on earth.
