THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER g.

Governor CAMERON, in his message TO
the Legislature, says he hopes that means
for teaching all the people to understand
their rights and TO know the limit oil their
privileges, and feel and perform the Id'i
measure of their duties will meet with no
onnosiiion in Virginia. Why does he give
public expression to such a hope? Has
there, since the war, been any opposition 10
such means in Virginia? Does any man III
the State ever expect there will be opposl-
lion to such means in Virginia? The Gov
ernnr certainly does not, for he Is 4 native
of the State. was raised within her borders,
and knows exactly what her people think
upon the subject Why, then, does he avail
himself Of the privilege of his position TO
clst m injurious implication upon the State
Of Which, unfortunately for her moral and
m,terial interests, he is the chief executive
officer? Did the Governor think he was
teaching the negroes to understand their
riuhts and know the limit of their privi-
leges" a few years ago when he SAID they
were only fit competitors with monkeys for
chestnuts? But nobody is surprised at what

self respect than is possessed by high toned
men. would scorn to presume to retain Il
seat in the Senate from q State whose people
first, and whose representatives suhSe-

undated him. But as there Is nothing tony
about tie ex-boss except his toe-nai!s, he
will disregard the resolution referred to,

SENATOR FLEMING's sHRIEKs.

"a bill TO destroy the Democratic party" is
bill providing for an investigation as to the
land frauds. "He made powerful argument
against the land fraud investigation bill this
morning." a college professor turned cores
pondent writes to one Of the daily papers 'In
his remarks he declared the bill Infamous and
one calculated to destroy the Democratic
party" Then follows a quotation:
kYou want TO drag citizens from my district
To he District court of Travis county to be
tried for'alleged fraud; you want to violate the
rights of the whole people and / want you to
understand If our rights are to be trampled
upon and violated we will seek justice in some
other than the Democratic party. This Legis-
ature has gone extensively in the investiga-
ton business. 1t has appointed committees at
great expense to investigate the land sales, the
railroads, the pententiarios, the convict
camps, the Alamo the Normal schools, the
Texas Siftngs, and now you want TO investi-
gate the whole people. This Legislature is the
great investigator of the State and is entitled
TO be called the greatest invest gator the world
ever saw.
The shrieks of Senator Fleming make him
ludcrous. There is no doubt there were
fraudulent sales of lands as charged, and it is
the duty Of the Legislature to attach the guilt
in the premises wherever it properly belongs.
But Senator Fleming's rawlings may be pro-
ductive OF some good effect; the people may
suspect that ''the greatest investigator the
world ever saw" is continually investigating to
prevent its own conduct being the subject of
investigation.

THE Fort Worth Democrat, commenting
on an article in the LIGHT, explains that some
of the circulars about which Postmistress
BurchelI got into trouble were addressed to
fictitious persons, and no small number to
prominent Druggist" "Intelligent Planter"
etc. These were not distributed, but sack ed
and sold as the postal law directs, and ac-
counted for by Mrs Burchell." If these state
ments be true the charge against Mrs. Burch-
