pon,t Forget 10 Remember.


II Is fact which the good people Of Vir-
MIA should hot forget to remember, that The
Republican party OF the State was COM
pletely crushed out in 1872, and since
then had no local organization or vitality
in anv portion OF the State until rcsur-
recied BY General Malone and Parson
Massey, and new life and vigor were
breathed into the dry bones OF its dead
carcass by that faction. They had only
one member OF Congress in what is
known as the "back district" and only
about six or seven negroes in The Legisla-
ture from hopeless negro counties. They
now have, under the manipulation of the
Mahoneites, more than twice as many ne
groes and as many as twenty-siX Republi-
cans in the Legislature. and they boldly
threaten to largely increase this number,
and TO send as many as two or three more
Republican members to Congress in N0yem-
ber, besides handing the State over to Grant
or some other Republican for the presi-
dency.
This is what the leaders Of readjustment
have done and threaten TO do for the white
people and Conservative party Of Virginia
But for this treachery we should have bad
no Republican party to fight in this State.
We should have only handful OF ne
groes in the Legislature OF any OF our
local offices. We could continue to
hold every congressional district as we
have done since the State was re-
deemed from Radical rule and the back
bone of Republicanism was broken. We
could insure the electoral vote OF the
State TO any Democratic candidate for the
presidency, and hold indefinitely complete
control and mastery of the local and State
governments. But under the Vaccinations
and by the machinery OF the men 10 whom
we have referred, this conservative aspect
of things is threatened with complete
change and revolution, and from white
mans government we are 10 be made 10 DRIFT
back under a rule as disgraceful and OPP
pressive as that fastened upon us by the no.
torious Underwood and Hunnicut dynasty
CT 1859!
This is The entertainment to which The
white people and the property.holders OF
Virginia are invited by the faction now
seeking to revolutionize the State govern
ment. Nay, more. They are seeking, by
the aid and support OF the negroes and Re-
publicans, to capture the local governments
Of our towns and cities-of Richmond, Nor
folk, Portsmouth, PETERSBURG, and every
other city where the negro vote amounts TO
an important factor-they sre seeking, we
say, by this unholy coalition with the
colored race and Republicans to place our
city governments in the hand and under
the control of the very worst elements OF
society. We repeat again Let the white
people OF Virginia not forget that this
shameless raid OF corrupt cohorts upon our
own State and city governments is the work
of handful OF leaders who profess to be-
long to the Conservative party OF the State.

drunkenness i'm strcet.Cars.

Editors Dispatch: Hardly lady in town
who travels much on the Street-cars but has
been repeatedly horriied by the presence OF
drunken men on the street-cars. A fellow
comes staggering in, brushing roughly
against ladies, threatening to drop in their
laps at every step, filing the car with a
stencil OF bad whiskey, rolling in his seat,
and perhaps against lady, splitting, leer-
ing, and muttering-an object OF disgust,
and to women terror. Now, why should
this be thus? You may as well kill woman
as scare her to death. Why cannot the
drivers Use n little sharpness, and not stop
for fellow that is In liquor, or II pcrchance
he slips on, take a glance at him inside and
make him behave or put him Off? Some. OF
these fellows are "reguars," and the drivers
should learn them.
/ do think that Mr.. Bolton or Mr.. School
craft, or some OF them, owe 1t to us girls 10
stop this nuisance. Do. please, gentlemen,
at least keep the horrid "sOaks" of the new
summer car. CAMILLA.

A Novel Enfertninment.


Even 10 the youthful ima9inations OF the
present generation of dancers. the "cotil'
Ion" Is at times trying ordeal, for, the in
tcrvals in their personal participation IN the
mazes of the so-called "German" being
frequently of great length, conversational
resources are at once subjected to the seye-
rest strain. Hence amongst the wiSeSt youths
Of the day, who at eighteen have reduced life
10 science, there is an evident disincination
TO select q particular partner and surren-
der themselves willing victim TO
her terIsichorean prOpensities for period
of three or more weary hours. Ii is easier
TO adopt the device OF a free lance, to remain
on the outskirts OF the dance and TO take the
chance OF ones grace and agility being
called into requsition by society in general,
without the bore OF entangling alliances.
This relutance and inability to make con-
versation belongs to the youths rather than
to the maidens OF the period, for a certain
anxiety is often plainly visible on the faces
OF the latter, denoting Il tacit acknowledge
ment on their part that the whole brupt OF
social affairs rests on their shoulders. The
business habits OF The day and the invention
OF the telegraph and the telephone have
doubtless something to do with the sup
preston OF superfluous verbiage.
With full recognition OF the spirit OF the
times, and possibly an apprehension that
the stock OF ideas on hand at the opening OF
the season had been too thoroughly ex-
bausted by frequent dilution to be OF fur
tbrr Use. our sister city OF Philadelphia hit
unon the ingenious scheme Of pantomime
party. Until supper.timc no one was al
lowed TO speak. IL was hoped that this en-
forced quiet, followed by inspiring draughts
OF champagne, might unloose the tongues
of the mute assembly when the embaigo
of silence should be once removed.
Communication with their fellOw-be-
ings was strictly limited to the Ian
g1age of divine harmony. The result
of this novel invention seems to have been
successful beyond expectation. Every one
declared af the end OF the entertainment
that they had never passed so delightful an
evening. At the announcement OF supper
a confused uproar OF human voices rose
hiob above the din OF knife and fork. The
lost art OF conversation was yehemently re-
claimed. and suppressed talk flowed freely
and noisily, with the impetuOus caprice OF
mountain torrent. 1t was furthermore as
certained that as an economical procedure
this system had its advantages. Amongst
the feminine portion Of the guests the avid
ity in resuming their gentle now OF woras
was so great as to preclude all desire 10
waste time in INDUCING In unnecessary re-
fres bments, however tempting. 10 regain
the use of the tongue was TO them Dotn meat
and drink, and the most delicious morsels
and rare wines passed before tbem unno-
ticed and untouched. The language OF ges'
ture and signs developed in this novel sotree
a. so;d IN have been remarkable and worthy
OF imitation.
