Among those most instrumental in ere
ating The immense Radical majority The
North gave at tue recent election were The
and merchants OF that see
ton, who, by threats OF discharge M case

them into voting the Republican ticket. As
the puissant North has not yet'enacled a
law compelling the South TO trade with it,
the southern people should avail themselves
OF this grace and form at once direct trade
relations with foreign ports and sell their
products to and bug such articles a. they
cannot manufacture themselves from those
who, no matter what they may think, at
least don't publicly proclaim them thieves,
robbers, rebels, and murdereTS. The pro-
ducts aud the trade OF the South have been
the real causes of the revival OF business
and the financial success OF the Urited
States Treasury in this country; but while
the South has reaped hltle OF the accru'
ing benefits, the North has grown lusty and

money nov invested in northern stocks be
withdrawn while such stocks are bigh and
be put into manufactures and importing
houses az home, and as the Radicals Will not
permit ships 10 be bought in the cheapest
market, let foreign associates be formed
who will buy with il cheap Clyde steamers
and establish direct lines between southern
and foreign ports, and it will not only re-
turn larger dividends than il * now doing,

The Next HO1lSe.

Mr.. McPHERsoN, of Pennsylvania, is al
ready spoken OF as likely TO be the Clerk Of
the next House Of Representatives. he is
the man who once left of from the roll
OF the House the names OF all tue southern
members, and so made the passage Of the
Infamous reconstruction measures possible.
II he were now the clerk, he would no
doubt zee TO II that the Republicans should
hayea good working majority Oh bis roll
at least uHtil after the organization Of that
body. As good luck would have it, how
ever, the present clerk is Democrat, and
though OF course it would be q crime
against humanity for him to follow the pre-
cedent set by MCPHERSON, yet we predict
that this Democratic iunctionary will not
put Oh his roll the names OF Republicans
in contested districts.

Richmond, appearing in your issue OF to.
dav. mention is made OF a commission OF
businessmen, with no political aspirations,
as the thing TO be done il we want the debt
settled TO the satisfaction OF all hands. You
recommend something OF the kind in your
editorial on the subject. Every other way
has utterly failed, now let Us try this. The
men can doubtless be found who will do
this vital service for their State, II called
upon, and it is to be hoped they will be such
names as the following readily occur to any
man knowing their mental Standing, tbelr
business success, and the elevation Of their
private character: George W. Palmer, OF

Congress-.

The Washington Post of yesterday re-
yises its lists, and makes out that the Senate
will stand: Democrats, 80 Gncluding Ma
HONE and DAVID DAVIS; Republicans, 81
aud that the House will stand: Democrats,
LAG (iucuding independent DemOcrats) ;
Republicans, l46; Greenbacker, |.
la this calculation the Post gives the Cal
iiorpia senator TO the Republicans and the
Tennessee and Nevada senators TO the
Democrats. No other State than these three
Is III doubt.
IL may be added that there is one Repub-
Ican from Louisiana, two from Virginia,
one from Maryland, one from Missouri, two
from North Carolina, and two from Tennes-
see, and that OF these at least half may be
expected to vote against rascally schemes
the Radicals may plan for the persecution OF

One thing, for which we are profoundly
thankful, has been shown by the Virginia
election, and that is that our people will not
have boss in their politics. As a friend
remarked to Us yesterday, " Ii Malone bad
the same kind Of people to deal with that
Boss Tweed had he would be the greatest
boss politician on the continent" But,
fortunately, Virginians are not OF that
stamp, and but for the negro Republican
voters. that constituted his faithful allies"
last year, Malone could never have assumed
the importance he did in our politics. But
bis prestige is gone now, the charm OF sup
posed lnvnclbiIity is lost, and he goes to
the SeDate-to which high position he was
elected by combination Of white place
seekers and Republican neGrOes-wlthout i
party at his back. Thankful are we for
tbat.-Lynchburg Virginian.

The Debt.

Now let the Democrats Of Virginia take
the debt question out OF the hands Of the
tricksters who have been tampering with il
and trading on it. II some compromise Is
found desirable or necessary the creditors
Will not be slow TO meet in liberal spirit
those who have made so gallant fight for
the integrity OF the State. The whole mat
ter will be Of easy solution, and The good
name Of the State will be preserved. The
people have spoken and said to the incom-
petent and INSCRIPTIONS crew who would
have wrecked the ship OF State, sect to
the rear zee mean 10 run this craft" In
due time the policy of the party on this
question will be promulgated, and we feel
justified in saying that it will be such an one
as will challenge the approval OF the great
body OF the people OF Virginia, aud viii be
carried by an overwhelming majority.
The Readjusier faction has been exposed
in all its emptiness, hollowne>s, nokedness,
nothingness, and it will not deceive the peo-
pie again. -Lynchburg NeloS.

passed: W..
RESOLVED, That the Committee OF Nir-

the most prominent citizens Of the state has
been formed, under the title OF the Nir-

its agent here the most cordial support.
We are glad to chronicle every movement
having for its object the inducement OF I'M
migration to this State. Virginia has the
lands that are needed; the schools; The
churches the salubrity OF climate; the ac-

Let Federal politics, for the nonce, alone,
only watching the course OF events at the
capital Of the nation, and let us turn our
attention to matters more nearly affecting
the immediate interests Of our own State.
The triumph OF Conservatism on Tuesday
gives hope that the "bone Of contention"--
the Statc-debt qucsiion-in our midst may
be removed from the political arena al no
distant day-certainly after the next State
election. There are numerous and potent
reasons why this question should be settled,
the first and paramount one being he inn
pedinent that ~ presents 10 the introduction
into our midst 81 capital and skilled labor,
whereby The development OF our immense
resources is prevented. That q settlement
OF toe question on some other bass than
the present will have 10 be made seems
inevitable, and The question Will thea re-
cur rs into whose hands shall be eDtrust-
ed the e0mprOmise. That the original
" Funders so cal,ed-0ill be unable TO
succeed ~ themselves Is apparent, but g5is
class OF our people. who. by the by. are the
most interested in the welfare OF the State
will not submit 10 placing the control Of the
matter IN the hands Of Esere scheming poll
tcans and ofiice-seekers, who will sacrifice
everything for seIf-agrandiZement, and only
seek to keep alive the agitation that they
may the more easily attain their aims.
There are men in the State whose views are
pronounced on the subject OF the payment
OF the debt, who advocate settlement
upon the ground that the provisions OF the
present law cannot be carried out; men
who, however, have too maeh love and re-
gard for the State to permit tbcai issues to
interfere with their allegiance 10 the party
that must rule The destinies OF the State or !
