THE RICHMOND organ Of the Mahoneites
says 1T is the part of wisdom to fit and pre-
pare the negro for the duties and response
bilities Of citizens" Very good. Such n
course has been advocated by the demo
Gratis ever since the negroes had the privi-
lege Of suffrage thrust upon them. But how
are the Mahoneites attempting to accom-
plish the worthy object they recommend ?
By persuading the negroes that their natur-
al friends, their old masters, are their enc.
mies, and by inducing them to support the
Administration wing of the republican par
~, and to vote as unit for men who de-
nounce preachers for teaching that what is
morally wrong cannot be politically right.
Most reasonable people think that the
means adopted by the Mahoneites will rath-
er retard than hasten the achievement OF
the desired purpose

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY p, 1892.

THE DEMOCRATS in Virginia have been
perfectly consistent in their treatment of the
negro question ever since the negro was en-
trusted with the dangerous privilege Of suf-
trage. Eight years ago the democratic
Governor of the State said
Non residents, whatever their claims to
eminence, ability, or philanthropy, cannev-
er understand the character and circumstan-
ces, or wisely administer to the wants of our
colored population. Ourselves and no 9TH
CTS are qualified to perform the task assign
ed US by Providence. fnot restrained and
thWarted by superior power, we will per-
form it resoutely and efectually by promo
ting the interests ofboth races. We intend
to perform it by scrupulollsly guarding the
newly acquired rights Of the colored man :
by atfording him liberal facilities for eluca-
ton and melting him to use them by de-
veloping his best qualities and capacities
and interesting him in the preservation OF
order and the enforcement of justice; by
shielding him against devices Of the vicious
andthriftless by habitually according him
the kindness, torbearance and sympathy
which his comparative dependence and
weakness invite, and by cultvating such
relations Of active cooperation and mutual
trust and common interest between the races
as will combine both in recovering the
general prosperity and make each an indis
pensable instrument to that end
The democratic party of Virginia say:
the same thing now, and it is a notorio,l:
fact that those who interfered with thi:
line ofpolicy, who resorted to TISSUE ballot:
and intimidation, are the very men who
have possessed themselves Of offices and are
trying to retain them by crying Justify for t
free ballot and fair count"

In the columns side by side,

What fine irony in this
That shades with death our nuptial bliss
That blends beneath our earnest gaze
The story of two wondrous days2
The kiss Of death, Of ushing bride,
Sarcastic blend in--Married, Died.
Throbbing breast of heart that bIeeds,
fearful, bright or dull eye reads
Lines whose message is not clear,
Blurred and broken through tear;
Lily fingers, hand Of age
Trace the lines along the page;
Death and Cupid side by side
Sport with man in-Married, Died.
Here a requiem, there song.
Blend and roll their notes along,
Village bells that ring or toll
Greet a glad or passing soul;
To the chancel call the crowd,
Clad in satin, gown or shroud,
To the church we twice may ride;
Heed the headings: Married, Died.
Hoist the anchor sail away;
Summer winds or sunlit bay
Lure thee Ger the outer bar,
Where the white-capped breakers are;
Staunch thy painted shallop be,
Strong to ride life's restless sea,
God shalt rule the surging tide
That laps the shores of Married, Died.
Orange blossoms. ripened wheat,
Sprigs of rue or lilies sweet.
Curls of gold or locks of snow
Wedding robes or garbs Of woe,
Hands in loving hands to rest,
Or folded lie on pulseless breast;
Who shall blooms and fruit divide,
So near the stories, Married, Died.

"Gwine to Live an Die in Dixie"
ST. Louis Republican,

"'Gwine to Live an Die in Dixie"
st. Louis Republican.
Chaplain Mullins, who went down on the
government steamer Gen. Barnard about
ten days ago, yesterday related to a Repub-
lican representative some of his experience
while in the Lower Mississippi country.
On the return trip he says he met along the
river from point to point a great many
negroes. In order to try them he approached
groups and said:
'Ihe flood has been so bad and you col
ored men are having rather hard time Of
it this spring, would you not like to go
back with Cs? This is a government
steamer and You might be able to get passage
on her free Of charge"
"No sirree," replied the darkies, "we'se
had nuf er dat exodus bizness, and we
amt gwine ter leave de SouE No more
Kansas fer u.s."
Another crowd being approached, several
of the colored men replied that they had
few acres of land, a house, mile or two,
and nothing could induce them to leave
the South. The climate suited them and
they intended to remain where they would
be sure of making a living.
Chaplain Mullins says he also met quite
a number of negroes who wanted to trade
wood, which they had piled up on tho
ridges, for provisions. They insisted on
giving something in return for the aid
rendered them.
Despite the terrible ordeal through which
they have passed they are nearly all now
