"Open to Conviction"

The Lynchburg Virqinian, after stating
that it was always reasonably open to
conviction" in the proper sense of that
term, and not as used by Malone, says
Here are some of the points as to which
we are reasonably open to conviction
sEWhy it should be better to have mixed
white and colored schools, as Governor
Cameron advocated at Matthews Court
House, than to divide the races in schools
of equal privilege, as conceded by the Dem
ocratic platform?
Why should it be better to disfranchise
Confederate boys indefinitely, and disable
them from entering even the humblest posi-
tions in the service of the United States, as
Senator Malone voted to do in the Senate
of the United States?
Why should the people of Virginia be re-
commended to subscribe to the National
Republican, one of the bitterest enemies the
South ever had, as recommended by the
Boss and the valet Senator of the Boss de-
tail? Why should the people of Virginia
make themselves party to any insult offer
ed the pure memory of Albert Sidney Johns
ton?
What is the advantage of having negro
policemen, as at Danville, and negro JUS
tees and officers Of election, as in Pittsyl-
vania and elsewhere-to make disturbance,
create disorders, and precipitate trouble
among the people?
And why should negroes of even mental
occupations be appointed on the School
Board for white schools-an action defend
ed by Cameron at Matthews Court House,
and likely to be extended and multiplied
throughout Virginia?
And what defence can be made Of the
open defiance and contempt of the rules o
Civil Service Reform, which were presented
by Congress, ratified by the Executive ant
promulgated through the departments; but
which Malone has as completely ignored
and outraged, as if they were the bylaws
of some Base Ball Club?
These interrogatories might be extended
to an almost infinite length. But we doub
if the Boss, or any of the followers of TIN
Boss, will find time to answer them befor
election day. Some of them Judge Chris
tian asked Cameron at Matthews Cour
House; and he did not find the people ''rea
sonably open to conviction" by his answers

WILL THE TAIL WAC THE DOG ?-Several
of the reckless canvassers of the Malone
party have declared that Democratic int1u-
ence brought forth Judge Bonds decision
in the State debt cases, and have heaped
abuse upon the Republican Judges head.
We suppose the same reckless fellows will
now tell their colored allies that the Bour-
bon Democracy is responsible for the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in regard to the
five civil rights cases, and will accordingly
abuse the highest court Of this land from
now until the day of election. We would
at this juncture like to know whether the
Malone Republican party propose to pass
those laws which the Supreme Court has
deci ed that Congress had no right to pass.
If the Coalition succeeds in controlling the
next Legislature, will the Boss, with his
pledged legislators, make good the loss to
their colored allies? The time has at last
come when the tail will, we believe, attempt
to wag the dog. Now we will see if the
dog will wag. The probabilities are that he
will wag to the extent Of passing laws CIV
ing the negroes equal rights with whites i'll
hotels, theatres, public conveyances, &C.
| The next step will be mixed schools and
mixed marriages, as the negroes have a ma
iority Of the Coalition party, knowing
there is strength in the many" they will
in the language of Fred. Douglass, "take
the reins into their own hands and compel
the world to receive them as equals" The
! Louisville convention was called for this
purpose. This idea is instilled into the col
ored element of the Coalition, and the Boss
will DO compelled to accede to their wishes,
or Cameron will have but few colored troops
to lead into the war.-LynchbW.g Adoance.

PAYING Politics. politics.
making money by politics-living on po-
litics, was never in high favor in Virginia,
and would have been despicable among
gentlemen in old times. The carpet-bag-
ger now called Coalition Mahoneite) was
the first to introduce this practical poll
tics" based on the maxim that policy is
the best honesty. They came South in
1866 and 1857 to go into politics as we would
into merchandise or banking. They "cud-
died" the negro and got his vote. They
formed a coalition. It was the carpet-bag-
ger, the scalawag and the negro, and these
were amalgamated and coalesced with
number of ambitious and corrupt Demo-
Gratis, and we have the present Coalition
party, the representatives of practical poll
tics, whose motto is ''We are for Arthur
because Arthur is for us. "-Jynchbax9 Id

Here is another pointed statement of
Wendell Phillips:
''The republican party has ruled Massa-
chusetts every year but two of the thirty
years that party has existed. Never during
all that time has a colored man been ap-
pointed to any office Of honor in civil life"
He might have added that none had been
elected to such Office. It is only as a club
to knock another State down with that
Massachusetts cares for the negro Put
Virginia's colored population inside of the
Massachusetts, State lines, and notsonly
would capitation taxes be imposed and real
estate qualifications enforced against suf-
frage, but there would be an almost unani-
nous white vote against any 'tcigii rights
bill" Even the punishment Of having
Butler made governor is hardly too great
for people like this. Yet every republic
can State is like Massachusetts in this re-
spect.-Petersbu7y L1aer- Appeal.

MILK FOR TYPHOID FEvER.-Surgeon-
General Barnes, about three years ago,
heard Of an allopathic physician in Virgin
ia, who, it is alleged, never failed to cure
typhoid fever. AS there were many pa
tients in the United States Army dying with
that disease, General Barnes decided to
visit the ancient Virginia doctor and learn
how he treated his typhoid patients. When
he met the old gentleman, General Barnes
inquired: "What is tine mode of treatment
by which you succeed % ''YVhy,' replied
the venerable physician, cts the simplest

A RTJSINEss MELODY.

There was man in our town,
And he was.wondrous wise,
For when he marked his prices down
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main,
He marked still lower every price
And advertised again.
-New York Morning Journal
Aud when he advertised again
His rivals loudly swore,
To see folks rush with might and main
To patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude,
And saw him custom win,
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the shekels in.
-CharEeston Netcs
And when he raked the shekels in,
And saw his fortune rising,
He took a goodly lot of tin
And kept on advertising.
Each day q generous su m he'd sink.
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printers ink
The greater is his gain.
