The Conservative party Of Virginia has
seen its best days. 1t is now in the throes
OF dissolution, and its disruption must come
at no distant period. Hard money and soft
money men cannot long act in the same Or
ganization, nor can the friends and oppo-
nents of public education work in a common
cause. The Republican party is the champ
ion of honest money and the patron OF the
Public Schools, and it should draw to it all
who earnestly and seriously believe in these
two important and benelicent ideas. And
it is about time, for the good of the State.
that reimbursement OF parties were effect
ed. The industrial welfare Ct the Common
wealth is intimately connected with such a
Encouragement, and the abandonment of
the issues which have heretofore arrayed
race against race and section against sec
ton, without reference to any cardinal gov
ernmental principle Or policy. The pros
perity OF the State, las well as OF the South is
dependent, in a great measure, upon the
disruption of the ruling rganization, and a
break in Virginia would be followed in the
other Southern States. With this effected,
representative men OF the material interests
and social and Intellectual position of each
State, would be found in the respective par
ties, and no fears would be entertained of
the success of either, in local administration.
The way would be thus opened for imngra-

That amendment was forced upon the
southern States. The negroes were made
voters by brute force, and it would be moth
ing but retributive justice if brute force so
used their votes as to overpower the votes of
the people who thus made them VOTERS
Dispatch.
1t is Just SUCH sentences as this that will
make ''Solid North. . The amendments
to the Constitution were accepted in good
faith by the South, as was understood, and
no paper was more vociferoas in the assur-
ance OF this fact than the Dispatch. They
were not framed as we should like to have
seen them, or as we think they ought to have
been framed. But they are the supreme law
OF the land, and as such should be obeved.
What the Dispatch says about Virginia
is in the main true, and why should not the
same state of things exist ia the more South
ern States /: We see the good results here
in peace and quiet, and freedom generally
from political outrages, although several
crimes were committed in the 4tli District
during the recent political contest. The peo-
pie of the South have all to lose bya ''Solid
South, politically. At hest it is merely
fanatcal sentiment, without any substantial
good in it. And to consummate it, we de-
stroy, or seriously impair, our material in
terests. The South wants practical states
mansilip to control in her councils. and not
the hot headed impractcabes who are inca
pable of adjusting their views and actions to
the changed condition of things. What could
the South have gained in 1872, had Greedy
been chosen President, or in 1876, had
''Solid South placed Tilden in the EXecu-
tive chair, now Tiled by Hayes? A ''Soiid
SOUTH secure d as the Dispatch suggests.
would forever keep alive ''Solid North,
rekindle sectional anmosities, and eventual
ly plunge the country into disorder, if not
revolution, the end OF which no friend of the
South or of the nation should wish to con-
template. There is no higher duty for men
of all parts Of the Union to discharge than to
obey the laws OF the country, and live up to
them in sincerity and fairness.
That distinguished Republican leader and
father of the Greenbackers Benz. F. Butler,
Esq, missed it in Massachusetts by nearly
thirty thousand Findtcat0r.
Butler surrendered his identity with the
Republican party, when the Democrats made
lm the director of the Potter Committee,
Ind afterwards nominated him for Govern
,r of Massachusetts, as they did at Worces-
er. He had furnished evidence of his de-
Yotion TO his new utilization by giving the
fasting vote to commit an outrage upon his
,wn constituents, in the seating of Dean,
Democrat, who was not elected, in the
,lace of Field, Republican, who was elected,
n the Forty-iifth Congress. And for this
reachery and his support OF the leading idea
# modern democracy, as represented IN
1reenback:sm, he was nominated for Gov
rnor of Massachusetts by Democrats, and |
Imported by Democrats, and defeated by
republicans, through their regular organi-
alton and nominee.

Did it never occur to the Southern peo-
pie that their political alliance with the
Northern Democrats is the most unnatural
imaginable? A recurrence to 1861 ought TO
convince the South that no reliance can be
placed upon Democrats North. They urged
the South to secede and fight, and promised
aid, but it never came. They deceived the
South, and We're at heart traitors to their
own section, and ought not to be trusted by
elther' 1t would be more natural for the
Southern soldier to make common cause
with the Northern soldier, for they were
both true III war to what they believed to
be right, and would be true to each other
were they united in political utilization.
