at issue. Virginia losther slaves, but added
nothing to her industry and enterprise to
compensate that loss, and hence is grad
ually sinking in the scale of prosperity and
wealth. She will never rise, but continue
to sink, so long as her population cling to
the policy of depending upon others to
support them without proper effort TO be-
come the architects of their own fortunes
Virginia needs enterprise and industry
among her white population to bring her
into the paths Of prosperity and wealth.
If the Virginians had no "niggersn as they
call them, to cut their fodder they would
starve out AS it is, her lack of toleration,
industry and enterprise, makes her one of
the poorest when she should be among the
most prosperous and wealthy States in the
Union. Virginia cannot rise until it clothes
itself with tolerant spirit and disposi-
ton to toll. 1t is by industry that we
thrive in this country.

The Readjusters in Virginia are certain
of carrying the State this fall, while the
Debt-Payers are equally confident that vic
tory is assured to them. The probability is,
however, that the latter will win, for the Re-
publican vote of the State is almost unani-
mously allied to them. In any event it is
certain that tho vote will be honestly
counted for the first time in many years.
The acrmony of the canvass gives assur-
ance of the fulfllment of this promise, and
at the same time furnishes evidence of the
unlairness of previous elections since the
war A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing on this subject from Rich
mond, reports a conversation thus:

with marked ability and skill, aud the author

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND THE ABOLITION OF
SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES. By
CHARLES GODFREY LELAND, author Of THE
Egyptian SketchBook" &c. New York: G. b.
Putnam Sons Washington, d. c.: j. J. Chap
man d Co.
Anything relating to the life of Abraham
Lincoln must be of interest to the American
reader, for no character in American history
bears higher charm than the martyred Presi-
dent of the United States. His public history
attaches to the more interesting and i'm
portant epoch in that of tho American Repub-
lie. The rebellion during its more vigorous
life and the emancipation of 100000 slaves
are included in his eventful history, which
cannot be studied too closely or carefully. The
author of this volume acknowledges his in
debtedness to the life of Lincoln by w. II.
Lamou, and the writings of II. J. Raymond,
DIR. Holland and others for much of the mate
rial wrought up on its pages. 1t is compact
and neatly presented history of Lincoln, the
martyred President

A MOST brutal and indefensible attack is
made upon Hon. GEORGE G.. HosKISs
the Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor Oft State Of New York, by the
Democratic organ of this city. The attack
is the more disgraceful for the reason tn at
it transcends the bounds of journalistic pro-
priety and decency, insomuch as its malice
was not satisfied with an assault upon the
politician and the candidate, but the
scanctity of his domestic relations are scam
dalously invaded. Where Mr. HosKINs is
best known this libelous assault will do
him no harm, but it is sent broadcast where
ever his lbeler circulates, and we mistake
the maligned if the maligner is not
called upon TO sustain the scandalous
allegations put forth from the sheerest
malice and disregard of truth and right.
Each and every allegation contained in the
grieyous assault referred to are known to be
without foundation in fact and gross cal
umnies.
