The ReadiusterS are neither consistent nor
logical. They declare in their platform hat
the interests OF the people OF Virginia are
10 be best subserved by the election OF Han
cock and English, and vet in their COnyen-
tlon they did what they valnly conceived
was all in their power to defeat the men
whom they profess they want TO elect by
attempting 10 divide the Democrats and
unite tne Republicans. With the Demo-
cratic party split and the Republican party
unit-the objects they endeavOred 10
achieve--as reasonable creatures, ii neither
logical nor consistent, they must hope for
the success OF the latter, no matter how
loud may be their expressions OF hope for
the success of the fOrmer.-1Lerdndria

The fact that suicide requires, and must
require, high degree OF physical courage.
at least. is too often overlooked and too Of
ten denied One OF the recent cases of
self-destruction. says the New YORK Irl-
bune, was as good an illustration OF this,
supposing The man to have been sane, as
could be desired. The engineer on the
New York and New Haven train discovered
a man standing quietly on the track ahead
OF the engine, with his back 10 ii. When
the engineer whistled, after trying in vain
to stop the train, this determined suicide
turned about, faced the engine, and calmly
waited to be hurled into eternity.
Some OF the Republican journals, in al
ludlng to the small increase in the popula-
tiOn OF southern cities, rs shown by the
census, say "If the solution OF the fact Is
not found in social and poll ical reasons,
we do not know where el,e to look for it,,
Look for it IN the fact that negroes form a
large portion OF the population OF the
southern cities. and that white men not nc.
customed 10 negroes do not like TO settle in
such communities. The presence OF the
negroes is what retards the rise and progress
Of the South but she bears her cross be-
cOmingly.-Aterandria Gazette.
They intend to divide the vote Of this
State, il possible, and their device j. as cur
ming as dangerous. They will put up a
Hancock and English electoral ticket Of
their own, and thus divide the vote OF the
state, and thereby endanger the success Of
the Democratic party. But in this county
we have no fears. We have been in per-
sonal contact lately with nearly every Re-
adjuster hereaDoutS, and they will not de-
sert the Democratic party. PiHSylrantd

The Readjuster Convention on yesterday
dominated second Hancock and English
electoral ticket. We hold it 10 be the duty
OF every true Democrat in the country TO
withhold his support from this ticket. 1t
cannot be elected, and If supported by the
Readiuster Democrats, as whole, viii re-
suit in the election OF the Republican
ticket. Mark what we say.-Sdtem Con-
