Bourbon Senate caucus last March, and
because he would not do 50 he was de-
nounccd as llercely by the Bourbons as
John Brown was FOR his famous raid. lie
arraigned the Democratic BOurbons of
Virginia as the enemies of free ballot
and free education, and as the practical
Icpudiators of the debt. The Republican
Senators rose up as one man to applaud
his courSge and his patriotism. His
scheme for providing for the public debt
had the approval Of men like the Prea-
dent, cx.Sccrctary Sherman, Senator Al
lison, Hon. Levi p. Morton, and others
equally eXacting in all matters pertain
ing to the public faith. The press of the
North, with u near approach 70 unonim-
ity, applauded the man and the cause.
The result Of all this was gen
eral hope that only one ticket should
be presented in NirIinia this
summer in opposition to the Bourbons
A State convention of the colored people
held at Petersburg in March declared
against any separate Republican nomi-
nations. The Republican State convcn-
ton to be held at Lynchburg next month
will decide upon this question. The Re-
publicans of the North are substantially
united in thcirhopc that in Virginia their
brethren will decide to cooperate with
the Rcadjusters. To separate the negroes
there from their native white friends is
impossible. If this were otherwise, what
folly would the separation beP What
can Republican party do in Virginia
composed of few white leaders and q
numerous black following? 1t can only
be allowed to exist by tacit understand
ing that it is not to make any serious at
tempt at defeating the Bourbons. The
coalitonists ought to carry the Lynch
burg convention by five to one.
In commenting upon the campaign in
Virginia and the probable complexion of
the Republican Convention the Star
of yesterday evening says; $50
far those who have enjoyed the
largest share of party respect and
honors have been chosen rs dele
gates to support General Wickham." We
cannot say that the Star knew better than
this, because the Star evidently knows
nothing about Virginia affairs. The
State Central Committee, controlled,
as it is claimed, by Wickhams
friends, called convention to meet on
the 10th day of August, and at the same
time ordered that the delegates to that
convention should be elected on the 4th
day Of August. No primary has been
held in Virginia for the appointment of
delegates to the convention, and, OF
course, not a delegate appointed up to
this time.
MANY of the ablcst and most prominent Repub.
licans of the State Virginla) will be members o
the convention, and SO far those who have enjoyed
the largest share Of party respect aud hOnors have
been chosen as delegates to support General Wick
