ORGANIzATION.-We agree with the
Lynchburg advance, when it says that
1--WE want a perfect organization, roll
call in every county, a fair, honest,
friendly effort to make friends with ev-
cry Democrat, and get him back to the
Democratic fold. Let US get our best,
most conservative men to work. Men
who do not consider honest policy a
crime-men who won't sickle over a
word-men who will not split the party
over candidate-men who can COM
prehend the grave situation, and have a
sufficiently humble opinion of their
own ability to believe they need help to
carry their counties and the State. We
say now and here that we are honest in
saying that we are willing to bury the
tomahawk with Democratic Readjusters
men who will fight against Arthur
and Malone, and we are wherever they
can show the balance of power, how
ever small, willing to give them what
they are entitled to, the front rank as
Democrats. We are for amnesty, a gen.
eral removal of Confederate and Demo-
cratic disabilities-a grand coalition raj
ly to drive Malone Arthurism from the
State of Virginia.

THE REASON WHY.-The reason why
several of the teachers at the D. D. & B.
Institution were not re. elected at the re
cent meeting of the new board, was be-
cause they refused to hold office on con-
dition that they would hereafter vote
with the readjuster party. They were
told, we have been informed, that if
they would act with the readjusters they
would be retained in office, but they in
dignantly refused office at the sacrifice of
principle. and hence they were ousted.
