A PERSECUTED PUBLISHER.

A well known name is that of Norman l..
Munro of New York, the publisher of trashy
story papers and various periodicals of no
high degree of moral or literary excellence.
The name is now brought before the public
more prominently than ever on account of
a noteworthy libel suit which its owner has
brought against James Gorden Bennett as
proprietor OF the New York Herald. Mr.
Munro's complaint in the suit brings TO no.
tce highly unique form of malevolence,
and one which shows its originator to possess
inventive powers of no common order. 1t
appears that Mr.. Munro was unfortunate
enough to publish last April in one of the
Brooklyn newspapers notice that he would
not be responsible for any bills contracted in
his name which he had not previously author
lied. Dc Quincy, in his famous essay on
Murder as one of the fine arts says that
many man eau trace bis downfall to muir
der which he thought little or moth
ing of ut the time. To an equally
trifling cause Mr.. Munros tribula-
tons are due. Prior to the publication of
the apparently harmless advertisement
he lived happily with his wife and children,
moved In good society in the city of churches
and was thriving and reputable citizen. The
unhappy advertisement changed all that. We
do not know that MIR. Munro is liable to the
charge OF being an habitual reader of the
UerdMs PERSONAL column, but it is a fact
that on the last day Of April he was hor-
ror struck to observe in that elegant depart
ment this brief but pregnant advertisement =;
MuNRo-Your advertisement has caused
me trouble. They would not leave the goods.

If he had not before been constant
reader Of the personals this touching
notice caused him to become one, and the
very next day a careful perusal was reward

heads at all, but finally wither away. You
may play the part of the bees yourself if you
like aud tickle the bent over stamens with u
pin and they will respond ut once il the
flower is fresh enough.
The SHEEP LAUREL grows on dry hillsides,
and is much less attractive plant than the
others. Its leaves lack the neat, smooth
finish OF those of the allied species and the
whole air of the plant is rather detected and
i'll favored.
First cousin to the snowy azaleas of our
greenhouses is the SWAMP AzALEA, and it is
not unworthy of its kindred, though much
less gorgeous than its more highly cultivated
relative. 1t is not at all common here, but a
few plants may be found in llgbecs Swamp,
though: only by searching, for they have a
way of hiding among other bushes. The
flowers appear just before the leaves and
cover the brown twigs with u purple robe OF
which they may well be proud. From the
throat of each flower hangs tuit of long,
silken stamcns. All of the Azaleas that
have seen near here were purple, bat it is
found with white flowers and those that are
parti-colored, yellow, purple and white, OF
white and buff.
No soon forgotten will be that sunny May
day when, less used than we afterwards be-
came, to the windngs aud turnings of the

stead OF finding Mallctt's Bay, we found the
great swamp on Polter's Point. 1t was a
most fortunate mistake, for there on our
right we were greeted by the roseate glory of
the fair RHoDoRA. 1t was real discovery,
too, for this regal shrub had never before
been classcd with Vermont plants,
afterwards found n few smaller bushes In
lIigtees Swamp. Many time since have
visited that great swrmp, but never again
can it give so thrilling and gladstone wei.

election would result in the ruin of the
the State that it would be represented, or
rather mis-represented, by large majority
of Republicans in Congress-it would,
besides other great evils not necessary
now to enumerate, result in having
mixed school boards, mixed schools, and
mixed marriages-the last two not imme-
diately, but ultimately. Mixed school
boards we would have at once, and the nat
ural, and almost inevitable, sequences
mixed schools and mixed marriag es-would
not be long in following.
Let those who wish these direful results
vote for the Coalition candidates, and those
who dosnot, vote for the Democratic can
didates.
Every Democratic voter should go to the
polls, OF be carried there if necessary, for
now is the time he can render his State
great service by voting for the Democratic
ticket,
The Democrats will expect the nominees
to spare neither time nor labor in active
efforts to get Democratic voters to the polls

in their nominations-an any failure OF

Separate School boards.
9 CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTION REMOVED.

We showed week or two ago that the
argument of the Coalitionists in favor Of
mixed school-boards, that the negroes were
not competent to take control of negro
schools was not the true one, for if they
were not competent to act as trustees of ne
gro schools, they could not, for much
stronger reason, be competent to act as
trustees of both white and negro schools,
as the Coalitionists insist they should. We
main that the true reason why the Coali-
tionists favor mixed school-boards is, that
they may retain the solid negro vote by
holding out to the negroes the hope of So
eial equality, the first step to which is
mixed school boards.
Now, a colored man comes forth and re-
pudiates the argument Of the white Repub-
licans and Coalitionists that they are not
competent and says he is opposed to sepa-
rate school boards for the races because it
is unconstitutional We would call his at
tention to an article from the Richmond
State published in this issue, showing that
it is not unconstitutional under the present
constitution as amended, and that the erro-
NOUS opinion that there was no constitu-
tional warrant for separate school boards
for the two races has been caused by the
fact that refeGence was made to the Consti-
| tuition as published in the Code before the
| clause amending it and giving the Legisla-
ture the authority required was adopted
The objection on the ground Of unconstitu-
tion&lity being thus removed, we shall ex-
pect this colored man and others, who may
have opposed the plan recommended by the
Democratic party for the same reason, now
to give it their hearty support that the col
ored race may manage the colored schools
to suit themselves without any interference
from white people.

How TO AVOID MIXED sCHoOLs,-The
Abiagdon Kugjnian says, ''there is but one
way to avoid mixed schools, mixed mar
riages and negro rule in Virginia, and that
is by defeating Malone and his candidates
for the legislature. Once in power by the
negro vote, they will grant the negro all he
wants to retain the power.
But il there is man III the county, with
white skin, who prefers negro rule to a
white mans government, let him go over
to the negro party and vote for its candi-
dates. IF there is one wn0 thinks his chill
dren will DO improved by going to school
with negro children, let him send them to
negro schools, if the negroes will allow
him IF the white men wish to avoid mixed
schools and mixed marriages, let them
place the Legislature in the hands of the
Democratic party-that party is pledged
against both"

WHY HE WAS NOT NOMINATED.

We feel that it is due to Col. James ii.
Skinner to state why it is chiefly that he
did not receive q greater number of votes
in the primary election Of the Democrats
last Saturday to nominate candidates f r
the Legislature. During his absence on a
trip to Europe, from which he mas not yet
returned, some friends, being DESTROYS Of
having again his faithful and efficient ser
vices in the Legislature, and feeling author
lied to do SO, submitted his name as one of
the candidates for nomination III the pri-
mary election. He was not here to make a
canvass for the nomination as did other can
didates, between whom, under such Cir
cumstances, it was to be expected the vote
would be chiefly divided, and more espe-
cially, as the voters, in making the nomi-
nations, had in view the Importance Of an
active, earnest, working canvass from now
till the day of election by the candidates,
that as many Democrats as possible might
be gotten to the polls and as Col. Skin
ner was absent, and it was feared, would
not return in time to make such d canvass,
many thought it would not be wise, under
such circumstances, to nominate him,
though they appreciate his merits as cul-
tivated christian gentleman; his gallant
conduct during the war, in which he was
manned for life; his eminent qualifications
for the office, in which he has rendered
faithful and efficient service; his recognized
integrity and devotion to principle; his life
long and consistent democracy; his ability
as debater and eloquance as speaker;
his services to the party, which he never
shirked; and his merits as a eanvasser.
Had he been here to render the service
now so much needed 20 arouse the people
to @ proper sense of their duty at this real
crisis in the history of our State, no better
nomination could have been made, to effect
the chief purpose the voters, who made the
nominations, had in view, than the nomi-
nation Of Col. James II. Skinner, the little
Democratic David, whose wont it is to Stay
coalition-Republican Goliahs whenever and
wherever they are rash enough to offer him
battle in debate We hope he will return
in time to show by his laboIs in this can
vass what he would have done if he had
been here in time to receive the nornina-
ton. We are sure that he will give the
nominees a hearty support and we hope
that the friends of his nomination will do
likewise, by which they will do honor to
themselves and render important service 10
their State that now expects and calls upon
every one Of her sons to do his duty man
fully and patrioticaliy.

just as expected, the Z. S. Circuit Court
at Richmond has decided not only that it
has jurisdiction in such cases, but, wha5 is
of infinitely more consequence to Virginia,
that corporations and rich individuals who
can stand the expense of law suit can pay
their Virginia taxes in deprecated Virginia
coupons, while the poor man, who cannot
stand such expense, must pay his in gold.
And yet the law which permits this unjust
and outrageous discrimination in favor of
the rich and against the poor was passed
by General Mahone's legislature, and at
the Generals command, and Virginians
will have an opportunity next November to
regelate the General to the obscurit,y from
which, for the good of the State, he should
never have emerged and from present in
dications they will not fail to avail them
selves of it with avidity.-Ale1andriG Ga
