These figures show that a strong cur
rent of popular Ill will has been steadi-
ly operating against the Republican
party i'm this State, and in a square,
fair election the Democrats can carry
the State. But the poverty of the
Democratic party in this State is too
weak to cope with the contributions OF
an army OF an hundred thousand

THE VA. MILITARY INSTITUTE CA
DIETS AT THE CENTENNIAL. - The
Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday
says The Cadets Of the Virginia
Military Institute on Saturday at half
past > o clock paid Il visit TO the Vir-
ginia State building, the greater por-
ton of the battalion being present in
u body. The visitors were cordially
welcomed in brief remarks by United
states Senator Withors, Ex-Governor
Gilbert G, Walker, and Barbour john
son, of Virginia; Hon. Samuel j, Ran
dali and Mr.. Booth, of Philadelphia,
the last named being the gentleman at
whose expense the structure was erect
ed. Governor Walker, in few perth
nent remarks, observed that since the
arrival Of the Cadets il could no longer
be said that Virginia was not repre-
scented at the Centennial, a sentiment
which the youthful soldiers applauded
with much sentiment,
The Times of same date says These
Cadets, next to the West Pointers, are
the tinest-looking body of youths that
have yet encamped on the Centennial
grounds or in the vicinity. Their
display on Saturday evening was
highly creditable and won much APP
plause from the multitude that had
gathered 70 witness it.

White and Colored Democratic Voters
Marching to the Music of the Union.
- A telegram dated Oxford, Miss,
Oct: 18th, says: The home of Lamar
was fairly ablaze last night in celebra-
ton of the democratic victories in In
diana. and West Virginia. Every
house was brilliantly Illuminated.
Thousands of white and black. voters,
marching shoulder to shoulder, form
ed in a torchlight procession, which
was led by the band of the United
States companies stationed at Holly
Springs, while the stars and stripes
was bone aloft by one-armed ex-con-
federate soldiers.
A very appropriate address was
made by Col. Waiter, a distinguished
lawyer, after which Lamar made one
of his grand elforts-a speech charac-
terizcd by remarkable force and elo-
quence, and perfectly free from parti-
zsn passion or evidence of sectional
prejudice. His very soul seemed to
be alive with love for the Union, and
as listened to his glowing words I
could not but wish that every man in
the North could, like myself. have
listened to him. Without resort to
vituperation or abuse, he arraigned
the Republican party for its malad-
ministratiOn, showing by an array of
incontestablc facts that in IFS mad zeal
tor party success, it had, in the face of
the most solemn obligations, unscru-
pulously committed acts subyersive of
order to perpetuate its power, it had
recklessly sought to suborn, to- such
nefarious ends verything essential to
the health aud life of the nation. He
said the news from Indiana brought
encouragement and revival of hope,
ard expressed the belief the result of
the election on the 7th of November
will dissipate the despondency which,
like a pail, has rested upon the South
for years, and will give to the whole
country, through the wise administra-
tion OF president Tilden, those long
absent blessings incident to perfectly
amicable fraternal relations, The res
toration of confidence, and the revi-
val of enterprise and trade, 1t was
certainly one of the ablest speeches L
ever listened to, aud was received by
all with demonstrations of most hear
~ approval.

''WARMING OVER" THE WAR ISSUES
ANNUALLY.

.-s.
What are the two vital problems put
out to this country at this moment p
First to get honest, efficient and eco
nomical service in the place o:dishon-
est, incompetent, wasteful and costly
service. Not merely to change serv-
ants that, at best, would be only
temporary relief; but to radically
change the system. AS we now man.
age, or rather mismanage, our civil
service, it is not only corrupt, but cor
rupting. The mischief constantly
tends TO increase. The good official
is debauched, the bad made worse, A
more ingenious machinery for propa-
eating public immortality could not be
well devised and the people have to
pay the piper in all senses. Here is
one of the things to be done-to sub
stitute for our present demoralized
and demoralizing civil service a civil
service that shall be neither the one
nor the other, but shall be all that a
civil service should be, and nothing
that a civil service should not be.
Second, to get rid of the southern
question. There is no chance of hope
of healthy politics until we do get rid
of it; Oh that point all intelligent men
are agreed. So long as the "war is
suea" are capable of being warmed
over from year to year and election to
election SO long as large section of
the country is disturbed by violence
and paralyzed by misgovernment; SO
long as white is arrayed against black,
capital against labor; SO long as hum
dreds of thousands of our countrymen
and fellOw-citizens have smartiDg
sense of outrage and oppressioD,-so
long will the victory Ofsthe Union be
incomplete, SO long will our politics
be leyerish with disease. The prob
lem is a knotty one it has difficulties
which are not lessened by ignoring
them or undertaking them. But il is
a problem that must be resolutely
faced and successfully solved, if the
restored Union is to be blessing to
either south or north. This is a big
but, big as it is, there isn't
room Ill it for Poland.--[Springfield
