driving down the street at a lively rate and ran
over the old gentleman. lie was bruised about
the head and knees so badly as to be compelled
TO remain in bed for a couple Of days.
There is doubtless an ordinance against fast
driving in our streets and it ought to be en-
forced. There is altogether too much reckless
driving in the evening when our people come
Jut to air their horses ana enjoy the cool of the
evening. The multitude Of fine turn outs is graf
flying to our PRIDE of course, but a little more
care in regard to speed would not interfere with
the general animation Of the scene nor detract
from the drivers enjoyment.

A New Departure.

The Virginia Democratic politician Is a
strange compound, and is as variable in his
appeals as wind. In one campaign he will
denounce the Republican party as the .snegro
party" and by reason Of this is not entitled
to the support Of white men, and in the next.
appeal to the very vote that was regarded as
making odious the Republicans, to unite with
the Democratic party. In Illustration OF this
we quote from the Richmond Dispatch of
the End inst, giving an account of a recent
speech OF Judge A. B. Cochran, the present
Senator from Augusta, delivered at Chris
siansburg. The correspondent OF that paper
says:
Judge Cochran, OF Stauntoli.s spoke here
yesterday. The greater part OF his speech
was to the negroes. He told them that it was
not the Republicans that freed them, that it
was through the instrumentality OF the
Democrats. He explained how it was that
"Father Abraham" had offered to compro-
mise with the South. allowing us to keep our
alaves. He asked them from whom they got
their support. who visited their sick, who
kept them from absolute beggary aud want.
AtO tiACH NoAHo uP ~ tCHuaF, ttctu WIN
cheated them. and who stole Their hard-earn.
ed money. His speech had good effect.
and have the assurance that many votes
were changed.
We commend these assumptions to the care.
ful consideration Of the Democrats Of the
State. It IL new departures rather nov.
ell and original treatment q the questions
OF recent history. We hope it will be the
pleasure Of the Judge and his Democratic
coadjutors, hereafter to cease from denonnc
Ing the Republicans as the negro party, ant
the negroes political afflliation as odious.-
They ars seeking the favor and countenance
OF the negro with remarkable persistencY
sEd efiectnally ruin the only argument the.
now have against the Republicans.
