The State Constitution.


The Lynchburg Adudnce, on the subject
OF holding a Convention to form new
Constitution for the State, speaks as fol-
lows:
"A question thatswill arise is, Had the
Molungeon Convention a right 20 prevent
the people of Virginia from changing their
Constitution for twenty years or how far
did the people OF that day, 1869. in adopt
ing the Constitution, have the right TO bind
the people OF 1888! We have submitted
to this. forced government because we would
be slandered and injured If we sought 10
alter or change even the badges OF con-
quest. We have lived long enough to see
that these things, which at first from senti-
ment and pride were most irksome TO us,
are nothing; but that our material inter-
ests are suffering yearly from this engine,
intended to plumber the people and cripple
the State; and the people are restless and
determined to rid themselves of the power
Of horde OF plunderers."
The present Constitution in all its pro-
visions would become CO no effect the mo-
ment new Constitution had been ratified
by The people. But the fact is that the eX-
isting Constitution provides that the sense
OF the voters upon the question OF calling
convention to form a new Constitution
may be taken at certain times named, and
also :" at such time as the General Assembly
may by law provide y; and if they decide
in favor of Convention, then the General
Assembly at its next session may by law
provide for holding such Convention.
Two or three years is but a short period
in the life OF State.

Another Warming.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:


In your issue of the 14th instant you say,
"'rhe negro Paul, the Governors messen-
ger, as trustee OF the white schools Of
Richmond may have the honor Of making
his own race pay for the education of their
own children"
You are correct. A feeling in favor Of
letting the negroes educate their own chill
dren is growing in intensity every day
among the large body Of the white people
OF the State, who pay the taxes. They have
the most kindly feelings for the negro, and
would like TO see him yirtuous. prosperous.
and happy; but they are not willing to build
him up and increase his power in the State
government when il is evident that 1t is his
purpose to Use it to the dishonor and in
Jury Of the white man. Ii is asking little
too much of the white people to tax them
selves to educate their children and to al
low them to take charge OF the white
schools. They are insolcnt and eXacting,
everything considered. beyond anything
known in the history of the world. They
may be sure that If they do not conduct
themselves with more sense and propriety
that the white taxpayers will leave them to
take exclusive care OF the education OF
| their children.

The Outrage.

The northern papers are writing about
Virginia affairs without knowing anything
about those affair. They are nothing bet
ter t,,sn officious Intermediates in other
peoples business when they thus conduct
themselves. II is particularly appropriate
for paper published in Philadelphia OF
New York TO tell Virginians that they
ought to allow negroes TO be put over whi'e
schools. when the people OF neither one OF
those cities would for moment submit 10
such wrong. Who ever heard OF negro
being nominated for any Office in either
OF those cities 7 Who ever read oil
a negro being made q trustee OF wm'e
school in any northern city, The same
gushing Intermediates and humanitarians
were very generous year or two ago IN
giving ADVICE TO the people OF California as
10 how they should treat the Chinese, for
getting that the advent OF thousand Chi
nesc into New York or Philadelphia would
at that very time have produced riot, II
those Chinese had there, as in California,
underbid the workingmen in their prices
for labor.
Old maids and old bachelors always
know bow other peoples children ought
10 he brought up; ana every so-called hui
manitarian who has no negroes to disturb
him can get of silly gusb about the equality
OF all men In this country; but wherever
there are negroes enough TO attract notice
from the whites, the latter race VIII show
the former not only that the white is the
superior race, but that this fact must
be recognized. We should like TO see
a negro teacher put over white
school in any city or town in the
North. There would be just as much
opposition 10 such an act in any such city as
has been manifested IN Virginia. The north
ern papers might as well mind their own
business. The southern people know how
10 treat the negro. They treat him so well
that he will work in Richmond for ten dol
lars month rather than work in New York
for twenty.
But we set out merely TO state for the
benefit Of northern readers what we have
heretofore stated for the benefit Of our
people in Virginia, that the schools in
Richmond were uniusiiiiably, wantonly,
and wickedy disturbed by CAMERON,
FAIR. and BLAIR, there being full Board
OF white trustees in office, elected by the
City Council, and representing the tax
payers Of this city, at the very time
that CAMERON, FAIR, and BLAIR APP
pointed the two negroes trustees. The
men chosen by the City Council re-
fused to surrender their offices. They
fought for their rights to the last, yielding
only when MAHONE's Court Of Appeals had
ordered them to give place to the appoin-
tees OF the usurpers Of other peoples
rights. 1t was a wrong thus to steal from
Richmond the control OF her schools. 1t
was inexcusable to call upon negroes to
assist

The Negroes-The Whites.

We are glad TO see that our able contem-
porary Of the Petersburg Nail is deter
mined to keep up the war on CAMERON,
FAIR, and BLAIR, as long as the partisans
OF the said officials shall undertake to
Justify the outrage they committed upon
the white people OF this State when they
appointed negro trustees to supervise the
white schools OF this city. We quote from
the Mail:
The Democratic party Of Virginia, and by
the Democratic party We mean the white
mans party, the party which does not re-
sort to demogogism. but puts an issue be-
fore the people in sober and unpreiudiced
language this party says that, rather than
destroy the public schools, il will labor 10
effect such an amendment to the Constitl-
ton rs will enable the taxes which are
paid by white men to be devoted exclusive
ly to the education OF the children of white
men. The taxes which are paid by ne
groes VIII, OF course, 30 TO provide for the
education OF negro children. The Demo.
cratic party does not insist upon taking
such step. Il Is no arbitrary action. but
II is done in the interests OF the children
OF white men, and in order that white chill.
dren may receive their education at tho
hands OF white men only. III, rs we said
before, negro school trustees are TO be an
pointed upon every local school board in
The State (and they will be appointed: for,
after all the negroes are the Coalition par
W. then the white people OF Virginia will
find means TO provide for the instruction
OF their own children, and the negroes can
look out for themselves.
II you, white workingmen Of Virginia.
think that you can best sub,erye the inter.
ests oil your own race and Of your own
children by uniting yourselves with mis-
coahtion party which will give negro trus-
tees Tue right 10 superintend the instrue-
mons OF your own children, then you had
better act with that party hereafter. and
sanction thelr action IN eiecting white men
from the School Boards in order to make
room for negroes. But II you really have
at heart the good OF your own race, OF the
children whose parents means render it
necessary that they should attend the pub
lie schools, then think whether you are do
ing your duty 20 your own race and 10 your
own children in surrendering the schools
themselves 10 the negroes.
Demagogism can hurt no one save your
selves, workingmen OF Virginia. All these
frcuzied appeals which exhort you TO take
up arms against the white men Of Virginia
who have accumulated some measure Of
wealth are exhortations TO you TO commit
political suicide. You are men OF sense,
and you must perceive that IL the school
system should be impaired you only |
would be the sufferers. You are there !

Our Norfolk correspondent telegraphed
us yesterday that Colonel GEORGE A. MAR
TIN, Railroad Commissioner Of the State,
had stated to him that he would probably
retain his seat in the Senate, having thor
oughly examined the law on the subject,
and ascertaned that he could hold both.
That is rather cool, considering the pro-
vision which the Constitution OF Virginia
makes for just such cases. We quote:
"NO person holding salaried Office
under the State government shall be capa-
BILE of being elected member of either
house of the General Assembly"
There are in the Constitution several
other provisions which bear upon the case,
but the above, we suppose, will suffice to
show how carefully Colonel MARTIN had
examined the Constitution and laws.

Peace, Indeed.
The Boston Herald Of Wednesday has
the following Interesting naraoranh.

The Boston Herald Of Wednesday has
the following interesting paragraph:
SToNEwATL-JAcKsoN ASSOCIATION. AT a
special meeting OF the Stonewall-Jackson
Association, held at the Sons OF Liberty
Hall, Chelsea, last evening. a reception was
given 10 three Bostonians who were officers
in the Confederate army during the late un-
pleasantness and residents OF the South Tor
over twenty years. Mr.. Atkins, who was
born at the north end, first learned on his
visit at this time That his brother, who
served in the Union army, was killed IN an
engagement with the Confederatcs, ana pro-
badly by the company under his command.
The remains were buried on southern soil
Brief remarks OF welcome were made by
Captain Ronaldson Parker, president OF the
Association. and others. The white peace
flag of the Association, presented by the
ladies Of New England, was unfurled upon
the platform.
That reads as il peace had come at last.
IL is easy enough for southerner TO frater-
nize with northerner, and acknowledge
that the men on both sides in the late war
between the States were honest and sim
cere in their professions Of devotion to
their respective causes but II is not so
easy for northern man to admit that
another northern man was iustiliable in
siding with the South; nor, on the other
hand, for a southerner to concede that ii
was possible for another southerner honest
" to side with the Federals. In Chelsea,
Mass, they have got far ahead OF that point,
as the paragraph above quoted shows.
Massachusetts, still leads. Can any other
State cite a case OF like liberality? We
learned with surprise that there is a Stone
