The Situation in virginia.

Tne 1nnCatfOnS now are that the national con-
test IN Virginia VIII be a triangular one The
read1Gster electoral ticket WILL In all probabII-
u, continue In the field, as the talk Of compro-
mise ana withdrawal has about subsidized. A
number OF the readjuster leaders have openly
proclaimed themselves for the regular Hancock
ticket, and are, In fact canvassing In It's behalf
but the most skillful managers and hardest
workers or that party still adhere to their
cause. The calculation Of the republic ms
Is that With two democratic tickets In the
Held the vote OF that party may be so d..
vided as TO give the Garfield electors plu-
rality. The race Is believed to be really be-
tween the democrats and republicans. as the
most favorable calculations to the readIusters
must leave them In the minority, counting the
numerous desertions from their party II Will
require the full vote OF the republicans to give
their ticket any show OF success. and now the
question arises may not the continuance OF the
readjuster ticket In the race draw votes from
the republicans? This IS a question that does
not appear TO have met with much considera-
ton. The success Of the readjuSrerS In the last
state election was due to the support they got
from the colOred republicans The readjuster
leaders, from Gen. Malone down, have done
their best to retain this support. They divided
the offices upon a very fair basis with their
c0ioTed allies, and in making fight for their
electoral ticket the readjusterS count upon the
support OF large proportion OF col0red voters.
Nearly every vote they get from this element OF
the population will be vote drawn from the
republican ticket. The leaders Of the regu.
lar republican organization In Virginia
refused once TO unite with the readjusters and
when 1T was almost certain that victory could
be won. Therefore It Is not at all likely that
any such coalition could be formed now, when
1t would bring upon the republican party In its
national contest the Odium of utilization with
repudiatioDists- Indeed there are no signs that
any such coalition has been, or will be- pro-
posed, but we point out the inproba bll1ty OF it
as showing the prospect Of a continuance OF the
three-corneredfight now being waged. Virginia
politics are In mixed and uncertain state; but
view the situation from any SIDE the advantage
appears to be with the regular democrats

never very good to you. They say

ABOUT KISSING.

Little child when twilight shadows
Close the western gctes of gold,
Then those loving arms of mothers
Tenderly about thee fold
Over lip, and cheek, and forehead,
u Like a shower .caresses fall;
For mothers kiss at twilight
Is the sweetest kiss of all. Il ..y
Pretty maiden at the gateway, #it
Shy, sweet face and downcast eye,
Two white, trembling hands Imprisoned
How the golden moments fly! .
Lips that softly press thy forehead.
j All Ji1e rosy iJfasnes cali; Il
For a lovers kiss at twilight
Is the fondest kiss of all.
Happy wife, thy noble husband,
More than half lover yet
For those sunny hours of wooing
Are too sweet to soon forget
On thy smiling lips uplifted,
Full of love his kisses fall,
For husbands kiss at parting
Is the dearest kiss Of all,
Weary mother, little children
With their dimpled hands so fair,
Passing over cheek and forehead,
Soothe away all pain and care;
Lead your dou biting heart to Heaven,
Whe,eno dreary shadows fall,
For the kiss of sinless childhood
Is the purest kiss of all.

LABOR In LOUISIANA.
[ From the N. o. Democrat

~
The question of labor in cur
cotton fields is every day becom-
ing more and moro perplexing.
Notwithstanding the success that
has attended the efforts of our
planters to rid themselves of the
incubus Of debt, and the still
greater success which the future
promises, it is a fact that some
thing is yet lacking to render our
system completely satisfactory
and to obtain from it result in
the highest degree satisfactory
and profitable, to employer ana
employe alike. It is evident to
the critical and informed obser-
yer that there is a defect in the
operation Of our labor arrange!
ment and that great lameliora-
tions are,still possible.
Let US consider the subject for
a moment. There are at present
three systems in vogue in Louisi-
ana, aud what is true Of Louisi-
ana is true of all the other cotton
States One Of these, perhaps;
the most generally adopted Of
the three, is known as the G.e
! a@7 SHARE SYSTEM. Ii
Tile workings Of this system have
already been described in the
DEMOCRAT, ,sbut in order to make
our paper complete and compact
let us briefy'sketch il over again.
Under The share system, then,
the laborer is furnished with
dwelling; land, tools, team, imple-'
ments, seed; ETC., such as may be
necessary to enable him to raise
a crops En- this way. without
having 'or'beihg required to pos
'sess ohe single cent Of capital, he
is placed Upon the footing Of an
Independent farmer, and has at
his disposal, what, for all his
purposes, may be called unlim-
tied fuancial resources. A fail
ure uree on Q his part will cost nothing
but Lis labor and his time. He
cannot become involved or pc
cuniarily ), embarrassed. It is a
bargain in which 1.-THE planter
takes all the risk and gets only
half the profit, and in which the
Iaborsr is secure of half the
profit, ,but cannot, under any cir
eumstan,c',ess,, suffer the smallest
loss. It could hardly be expec-
ted that an arrangement SO un-
equal could bear really satisfac-
tory fruit, and therefore the
reader .wiIIsnot be surprised to
hear THAT we propose TO discuss
the objections further along.
Il should be mentioned, how
ever, before proceeding further
thai there are several modiica-
