INpw TO SMASH TUE SOLID SOUTH. We
do Not know whether 1t Is within the range
OF possibility for Governor Ben. Butler,
with his brass and his barrel, so to fasci-
nate the. Democracy Of the North as to in
duce thenSto give him the nomination for
the presidency. But we think we speak
the unanimous sentiment Of Democrats In
'outh Carolina when we say that such q
nomination would break up "the solid
South" more suddenly and completely
than any other political event under the
sun.-Charleston Ne,os and Courier.
The ,News and Courier Is right. OF
course BUTLER stands no chance Of being
nominated; but IL we admit his nomina
ton to be possible, then GRANT or anybody
else would beat him. BY the way, Viz
ginia voted for GRANT in 1872. She couldn'i
stand GREELEY. Then where would Bur

The Pnblic Schools.

II we had room for it, we would replo-
duce from the last issue Of the Warrenton
True index an article on the subject OF the
public schools intended to prove that the
Democrats are their best friends. The ar
ticle closes as follows:
"Mr. Wise's friends maintain that he
carried sixty-fye counties and cities, and
il elected by several thousand majority.
Bear this assumption in mind, and turn to
MIR. Farr's report. He says the aggregate
of funds received during the year from all
county taxes for free-school purposes was
s222, T12.S9. and the aggregate received
from all district taxes for the same period
was S26G, 494.Si. These sums make grand
total of S4S0,207.73. Take the aggregate
received from Democratic county taxes for
the same period. rs shown by above table,
made up from Mir. Fari's report, which is
Sl23, 0S3.s4; add to it the aggregate re-
ceived from Democratic district taxes.
which Is 3iG2,G9S.90, and we have
the sum OF $685. S2.73 as the Demo-
cratic contribution TO schools. by sub
tracing the Democratic aggregates from
the grand total, we have a balance OF
only S203, 42400 as the sum paid by
Coalitionists. 1t thus appears that the
forty-seven Democratic counties and cities
pay seli-imposed test tax for free-school
purposes greater than the sixty-tive Coali'
ton counties and cities by SS2, 357.93. And
vet Coalitionists charge that the Democrat:
are enemies of public free schools and con
tinually ring the changes on this falst
charge. 1t is time that a stop had been pu
to this thing.
1.-THE Democrats in the coming contes
for everything conservative should asser
their claim TO bear the free-school banne
and hold the yght OF the school battalion
ek!Their superior services 10 the cause full
w~rarybthis."

LlBERAL--The proposition to continue
the tax upon tobacco and whiskey and d.
vide the proceeds among the several States.
That would be TO collect In Virginia more
taxes than all the New England States pay,
and divide the money here raised between
Virginia and six other States. Such law
would relieve some Of the States altogether
OF taxes. Virginia now pays into the
United States treasury twice as much as she
would get back under such system. Let
us keep our money and pay 1t to support
our own state government, or leave It in
the hands Of the people.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-07-10

A prominent gentleman in Clarke coun-
ty, i'm private letter to a friend residing
in this city, speaks as follows concerning
the proposition to put into the platform to
be laid down at Lynchburg what he styles
"a judicious color-line plank" He says :
"To refuse to put such in is bid for
the negro vote. To bid for the negro vote
is sinking the party to the Malone plane,
and is to repel the white vote OF Piedmont,
the Valley, and the Southwest. From these
white divisions Of the State ultimately must
come the political power that is to redeem
Virginia from social and political disgrace.
Let us cleave to the white vote. what
God has TONED together let no man put
asunder.'"
On the other hand, the Petersburg Iade1-
appeal says:
"We do not believe that the Lynchburg
Convention OF representative Democrats
will commit such a stupid blunder, but II
such calamity does befall, then we serve
notice on our friends in other portions OF
the State that Southside Virginia will mark
out policy for itself, and Will, as VIC have
heretofore done, compete with Malone or
anybody else for votes, irrespective OF race
OF color. Local good government and our
very political salvation depend upon this,
and we will throw, in good faith, wide the
doors of the party to all who will aid us to
overthrow bossism and to secure the bless
| ings OF good government"

fDanviIle RcgisferJ
There was considerable excifement amv ,,,e
our citizens this morning wnen !. pe ,,aas'
known that the City Council. nj us ,nees
ing last night, had removed Messrs' MoIl,-
sett and Lowrie, two OF the most expert
enced and efficient members OF the poIlcc
force, and had substituted in their places
white Readiuster, En0ch Taylor, ana NJ
gro by the name OF Bob Adams. Inc Only
reason for the change must have been OF
political nature, The officers removed neing
Democrats, and those appointed Coaiition-
lists. This Is simply carrying out the poncy
of the party. which Is to use official patron
age within their control to reward their
friends and extend their influence.
But the best elements OF society In TINS
city-the men who own the property ana
are the most deeply interested in Its pros.
perity and good government-cannot pu,
view with alarm the evident tendency OF
the present Council to increase the in1u-
ence Of the negro in our city government
by promoting him to office over the heads
OF more competent and more responsible
white men. II Is true they have the power
70 do this now, and no doubt they think
they will perpetuate that power by the
course they are pursuing, but they should
bear in mind that there is such
thing as going too far and exhaustin1g
the patience Of long-sutfering people:
The revulsion must come at last, and II
will be all the more powerful when II does
come by reason Of the repeated offences
against the best interests of'the community
that those temporarily in authority persist
in committing. This last action OF tne
Council has fully shown to the white peo'
pie OF DanvilIe the absolute necessity FOL
a thorough organization in order to rescue
the city government from the hands OF the
Coalition, into which it has fallen.
