Virginia is a good democratic state, and
the Atlanta Constitution says it is confidently
expected that it will give the democratic
ticket 10000 majority. Shouldn't wonder
The school fund of that state has entirely
disappeared, the schools have been closed
because they were deprived of support, and
we know of no more certain precursor of a
democratic victory than II schoolless condi-
ton of society. You will see that where the
schools are the fewest, the democratic MAORI
ties are the heaviest.

vote, We obtain the following cheering
news:
If the Generalization of the Radi-
cal party, and the desertion Of their
/ former corrupt aud infamous leaders
by The negroes, exist in other portions
of this State TO the fearful extent that
it does in this parish, we cannot for
the life Of US see where the Radical
following is to come from.
| We say this, and say it candidlv,
challenging n reiulation. that not $50
negroes in this parish are organized in
the Radical ranks, and we say further,
that two negroes belong TO the Dem
cratic-C Conservative clubs where one
belongs TO the Radicals. and this too,
in q parish with $500 colored voters.

the brow of every Radical in the Ela,e

bodies.
The hour of retribution is at hand,
they feel it in the air for a season
