A REVOLT AGAINST CAMERoN.-[Special
to the Philadelphia Times. l-CarNSle,
March 1S.-The vote in Cumberland county
to-day on the election called by the county
committee to instruct the delegates to the
Chicago Convention for Blaine, in disre-
gard Of the State Convention, was large and
enthusiastic. Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency Of the weather, most Of the best citi-
zens went to the polls and registered their
sentiments. The result in Carlisle was 466
for Blaine, and against him, out OF a pos
sible vote OF $50. The rest Of the county
sill be in the same proportion.

The situation in Virginia presents ''se''

Virginia.
rhe situsticu in Virginia presents Itself
n our mind in the following light:
The uupledged electoral ticket can cnrry
neither many white nor many black voters
Eyery voter will naturally decline to "vo'e
~ the air." az Mr.. EvAars calls Il. Inc
soeecbcs and efforts made by the Repnoi''
caas and the Democrats will be sure 10 'n'
duce most Of the voters to take sizes.
The Republicans will lose more negro
voters relatively than the Democrats VIM.
ones. Thus tho unpledged electoral ncke'
will injnre the Republican rather tnan inc
Democratic party.
Look at the figures. There was no cap'-
sa,,on tax required in 1870 In virginia as
prereouisitc to voting; yet the result was
for TIlpEx 1860; for HAYES oo'ooo, or
"A. ,12 majority for TmpEN. Now, In the
election in Virginia last November the COM
b,ned vote of the Republicans and the Read
busters was only s4,75s. What possible
chance Of carrying this state DO those ns'
ures show the Republicans to havev Ine
whole vote OF the Readjusters and the ne
publlcans was ten thousand less than the
vote OF Mr.. HAYES, who was beaten by ~
liz majority.
Or take the most unfsvorable view for the
Democratic candidate, and suppose that the
vote shall be divided IN the presidential
election as Il was in the election OF Novem'
Der, 1870, and let us see bow 1t would DE-
The vote in November, 1870, was Tor tne
Conservative DcbtPayers 62,074, for the
Conservative Readjusters 1854, and Tor
the Republicans 26,l17. The Resdiusters
(ipcluding both Republicans aud Conserva'
tive Readjusters) claim TO have had twenty
thousand msjority over our 62,O74 votes !;
but divide their vote between GRANT and
an unpedged electoral ticket, and each viii
mike poor showing.
We do not yet believe that General MA
HONE is going to run an unpledged electoral
ticket. The Democrats could not ask any
thing better. 1t would insure their success
in Virginia. 1t would diminish the Repub-
lican vote below the very small (relativel
number it was In 1876; whilst the vote for
GRANT would cut down the Resdiusters'
vote below the (rclative) number it was last
November.
As at present advised, we cannot but
think that the Democratic nominee for Pre-
sIdent is as sure OF the vote OF Virginia as
OF that Of Kentucky.

The VIRGINIA TREAsoN.-The lead
ing facts in the PresentdemocEatic COM
plicaiions in Virginia politics are thus
posted up by the Democratic .AdUoeste.
.The Virginia regular Conservatives
(Democrals) held q State convention in
May and elected delegates 10 the Gin
cinnati convention and also put an
electoral ticket in thefeld. The Re-
adiustpr Democrats refused to afil-
late with the regulars and called an
other State convention, which met
lately m Richmond. Hancock and
English were enthusiastically endorsed
and an electoral ticket, pledged to vote
for the Cincinnati nominees, was NOM
mated. There are, therefore. two Dem
ocraiic electoral tickets in Virginia.
The Republicans have an electoral tick
ct in the field. also, and are hopeful Of
success on account Of Democratic di-
vision.
"The Readjusters and Debt-Payers
are nearly equal in numbers, and with
the Republican vote withdraw frons
the Readjusters. the regular Democrats
claim they can carry the State in No.
vember by 10000 majority.
Virginia Readjusters are actuaied
more BY the spoils Of Office than By
principle. They held aloof from ma
iional politics to see how the tide ofpop-
ular favor vas running. Had the Re-
publicans nominated Grant and the
Democrats less popular ticket than
Hancock and English, The leaders would

have sold IFS votes 20 the winning side,
no matter whether Democrstor Rspub-

and the people are wild with enthusi-
asm for Hancock. The Readjuster lead
ers saw how the popular current was
running. and they abandoned the IN
pledged electoral ticket dodge, know
ing that Democratic success is already
assured. They ase for Hancock aud
English because they could not rally a

Yet, success will not be theirs Vir-
