Virginia'S Difficulty,

The conventions of the different
parties in Virginia have met and have
closed their work as far as they could.
The Radicals and Readjusters have
ioiued forces, and although there is
much wranglng and commotion over
the amalgauation, there can be but
little doubt that full vote will be
polled. The Democrats, single handed
and alone, have commenced their CAM
paign with the odds rather against them,
and nothing short Of the greatest har-
mony, coupled with herculean efforts,
can possibly pull them through. 1t is
= subject Of the deepest regret to know
that the grand old Douinion~"the
mother of States," upon whose bosom
the sons of thousand battles rests
torn and divided in this way. She was
\. the first of the Southern STATES to throw
Af the CALLING yoke of oppression.
low indeed it seems as if she is about
sb lead off in a disintegration of the
party which has done all since the war
to rebuild her waste places. plow atresh
her fields and give impetus and force to
the new life which belongs to the
South.
The total vote of the Readjusters and
Radicals outuumbers a good deal the
votes of the Democratic party, and II
they stand together the result is already
a foregone conclusion. The adroit and
cunning Malone holds we'll in hand his
forces; and, being an acknowledged
manipulation, there can be no doubt but
what he will conduct his campaign
With all of the shrewdness and ability
which has heretofore characterized his
poli,ical race. His first efforts will
doubtless be to heal the breach between
the regulars and his own party, and
by lavish promise of Federal patro-
mage, together with the offices of bis
own State, endeavor to bind upall of the
wounds now existing. IF he succeeds
10 that, he strengthens and perhaps
makes permanent the new phase which
ne has injected into Southern politics.
IF he fails, it will give a tremendous
ouietus to the dissatisfied elements
now watching and waiting for their
opportunity. Therefore the result must
and will be looked for with the deepest
interest, and the issues involved there
will Rave their effect over the whole
South, let the decision be as it may.
We trust that nothing will occur
in the grand old State to retard the
progress which she so richly deserves.
Her sons are too brave and too honor
able to be traitors, and we have an
abiding faith in their patriotism and
love OF country. The unfortunate COM
di,ion of Virginia should, however, be-
warning to US ali, and it should teach
rs that the higher and nobler powers
Of reasoning goes further to build up
than the base and lower power Of vitu'
peratiou and abuse does to tear down.
Doubtless, Malone was strengthened
by the abuses brought upon bis head,
and while we have never sympathlzed
with him, yet VIC thought he was entitled
to his own views, and that there was
no occasion for uartyrizing him.
Well Done. Mr.. Blaine!

Lexington Press, Dem
We suppose the question has been prop
erly brought before the courts, and will
be decided in proper time. Some Of our
best lawyears are agreed in the opinion
that when the decision Of the court is OBJ
tanned that it will upset our school sys-
TEN OF systems. Under our existing law
the white man and white mans property
is taxed for the education Of white chill
dren only, and the cOlored man and color
ed mans property is taxed for the educa-
ton of coIored children only 1t is argued
that this is discriai'lat.oR, and that under
the constitution the black man Of no
property has an equal right to pro rata
share Of the school benefits of the taxa
ton from the rich white mans property
as the white man of no property has.
Some good lawyers, who do not desire
such decision at this time, admit the
position taken as good in law, and think
the courts viii so ustaiu.
The agitatOrs of this matter, at this
time, we think, are reilly enemies of our
free schools, and think this the shortest
cut to their destruction. That there is
race prejudice. it is folly to deny, and no
amount Of law, State or Federal, can
eradicate it. Therefore, to precipitate
such an issue now, cannot work adyan-
tageously either 70 the colorel or white
population. The opposition to taxation
for free school purposes is strong anu
active, without aid from this issue, and
will be greatly strepg thened by this agi-
tation. 1t will veiy likely defeat any
special school taxes in large majority
