Bulldozing in Virginia.

pWktaOEhhf3 hA bhs@fe-
Let facts speak for themselves. These
for example:
/. There were one hundred thousand
negro votes cast In Virginia last week, ac-
cording to the popular estimate.
.. There were nine negroes elected to
the Legislature. BY whom were they
electedy Was IL by negroes! Certainly,
there being very few white CoSlitionIsts
in the negro counties. Negroes who voted
for negroes could not have been very much
under the influence OF fear Of white men.
But suppose we admit that the negroes
were elected by white men. Then 1t In
eviiably follows that the negroes were mol
bulldozed by white men.
8. But our northern contemporaries
ought to know that where the negroes have
white leaders there Is little or no danger at
any time that they viii be bulidozed. We
Know OF nobody In Virginia that tries to
intimidatc negro voters. They vote as
freely here in Richmond as they do in
Philadelphia. We could produce certi6-
Gates to this effect. we have no doubt,
from the leading Coslitionists and Repub-
leans in this city. But even IL there are
a few men In Virginia who would by force
keep the negro from voting the Republican
ticket. these men are so few in number
that their influence would amount to
nothing when confronted with the innu-
ence exercised by white men who wish the
negro to have the free right OF suffrage. At
one time at the precinct at which we voted
last week there were a hundred or two
white voters made to wait whilst the
Judges OF election were receiving negro
votes: but we heard not one man utter a
single word Of complaint.
4. There are northern white Republicans
in Virginia who have come here recently.
II were easy for the New York Tribune to
procure the testimony Of such men. Surely
they are not bulldozed." We would not
be at all afraid to leave the question to their
decision.
8. But, after all, the talk is a tempest in a
teapot. II will soon exhaust itself. Con-
gress will soon be In session. The House
OF Representatives is Democratic by seven
~ majority, and will have great many
Republican shortcomings TO investigate.
II will also, il necessary, investigate the
Danyille riot, and the charges OF intimida-
ton brought against Virginia Demo-
Gratis. The truth will soon he learned
throughout the country. The tariff,
or the internal taxes, or greenback-
ism, or the silver question may be
issues next year; but not Virginia poll
ties. The Republicans will be ashamed Of
themselves long before next June, and will
seek better electioneering material than is
to be found in ialsehoods concerning the
white Democrats OF the Old Dominion.

Virginia News.

The jewellers OF Petersburg will adopt
the new standard of time, and the city au'
thorities will have the town-clock run by
the same standard.
The Lynchburg VUginiaR says: Last
night the incendiary attempted to burn q
small frame building in the rear OF Mr.. y.
II. Layinder's storehouse. Fortunately,
the fire was discovered before it had made
much Roadway, and was eXtingmshed.
The fire on the Tobacco-Row mountains
was still burning brightly Wednesday
night. a Lynchburg paper says 1t has
now burned its way to the opposite
side OF the mountains, and. it Is feared,
will do considerable damage before il is
stopped.
Five small oyster schoonerS were cap
sized and sunk of and near James Point,
Eastern Shore, Md, on Monday last, and
two of the captains arrived in Norfolk yes
terday for assistance from the wrecking
companies. II is reported that several
men were drowned.
The PAGE Courier says Shenk's school
house. i'm that county, was burned Mon
day evening. School was in session at the
time, it being the first day OF the term
The building had just been repaired and
finished, il being one OF the new school;

how The fire originated.

The New Time.

We cannot but be greatly surprised to
find the Cincinnati Commercial opposing
the adoption OF the new system OF noting
time. We have never known any similar
proposition TO meet with so favorable q
reception in every quarter. New York
city, Washington, Richmond, III fact
nearly all the cities. have without hesita-
ton made the proposed change. We hear
OF no exception OF note except the city OF
Bangor, in Maine. and even in that city
the Council passed an ordinance pro-
vidng for the new time, but it was
vetoed by the Mayor. Bangor's mayor
and Attorney-Gener BREWSTER ought
TO be yoked together. BREWSTER says
that Congress fixed the hours OF labor in
Washington. He is dreadfully afraid that
the country will lose eight minutes of the
labor OF the Government clerks.
The New York tribune says in the fol-
lowing paragraph that England, Scotland,
and Wales all have the same time:
.'For a few days there will be some fuss
ing over watches and clocks; some trouble,
where the change is considerable. to get
the school-bell rung and the factory-whis-
tie blown on time, and some difficulty in
breaking the children and the workers into
the new time. But there is no reason to
anticipate any serious difficulty. The
adoption of Greenwich time for all Eng
land, Scotland, and Wales, which took
place in 1S4S. involved a change Of over
twenty minutes for the western part of
Scotland. The greatest change for any
large city within the belt using the seventy
fifth meridian will be thirte-two minutes
in Detroit. The change in this belt, there
fore, Is not much greater than was easily
accomplished in Great Britain thirty-fiye
years ago"
All the old fogies might as well fall into
line; for not only are the alterations pro-
posed to be everywhere adopted, but in the
course Of few years the hours will be
numbered from one to twenty-four. To
have two rs, two 2's. two SIS, two As, and
so on to two 12's, in one day, is as uniusti.
fable as balancing the corn IN bag with q
| stone.

|, understand whv Ma

renee. They cannot understand why Ma
honeism has failed In Virginia. although
all but they know that 1t bad failed once
before In all the southern States. aud espc-
ciallv In Louisiana, mississippi, and south
Carolina, where 70 had patient and ex-
haustlye trial. II was President Hayes
who buried the corpse OF II, but not until
the entire country became Disguised with
the corruption Of II, for long after II was
dead President Grant insisted upon keep
ing the offensive remains above ground
even while he saw that the entire North
had cIapped It's fingers TO its nostrils against
IT,. The Stalwart chicftains and organs
are apparently determined 10 consider Ma
boneism an entirely new thing. IL Is no
thing OF that sort. IL Is, in fact, merely
carpet-baggism under an alias, and playing
new political confidence game. IL they
are as blind as they pretend to be. and cam
not see that Mahoneism wants merely
United States marshals and United States
troops TO make II carpet-baggism playing
the same old political confidence game, the
country Is not so blind as they, for IL does
see that they are identical in purpose, II
not in name.
ain fact, Mahcncism is but cowardly
sort Of Grantism; for the latter was open
and daving. even insolently rash, in its de-
tiance OF the nobler sentiment Of the coun.
try. Grantism did not hesitate moment
TO make United States troops supervisors OF
the ballot, and 10 make up the returns win
sword and bayonet. MaEoneism, on the
contrary, while aiming at the same object,
used instead OF swords and bayorets the
| Federal offices. II was as much protected
and iostered by the Administration as was
carpet baggism and whatever power or ~
fuence the administration could give IT,
either through oust0m-houses, post-olilces,
or navy yards, il did give IL; nor did II
permit questions TO be asked when navy
ward accounts smacked OF villainy and con-
niving official frauds"
Barring the credit the Telegraph gives
Mr.. HAYEs-and we will not quarrel with
it for that, for we believe it is sincefe-we
could not ask a fairer, more impartial, more
truthful statement Of the situation. When
we consider the influences that surround
the telegraph, and the bitter preiudices
OF many for whom its speaks, its words are
fraught with a deep import. They mean
that the people are ready to say to Stall
wartism, "Thus far shalt thou 30, and 10
further" They mean war to the knife on
"strong Government" We reIterate, the
time has passed for bayonet rule. The
Stalwart cry for it is the death-cry OF that
party.

While we are rejoicing over the grand
and glorious victory we have just gained
over Malone, bossism, and Coalition mis-
rule, let us not forget that we owe duty
to Him to whom alone we should give all
the glory OF so grand victory. And let
us. as we have promised, observe the day
set aside by the President as day OF
thanks giving and prayer to God for the re-
demption OF Virginia from "malign influ-
ence" and dcspotism. Let us manifest our
thankfulness and gratitude by observing a
special day, and showing TO the world that
| Virginians can do their duty with Justice
to all and malice towards none. And, as
true sons Of the Old Dominion. "reuder
unto Caesar the things that are CAESARS,
