Now. and Not in 1854.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
II has been announced frequently in the
present canvass that the Democrats in this
State are fighting now, as they did in 1862
for the supremacy OF the white race. Let
us see IL the events OF the last few days have
not made this still more patent.
The southern people for week or more
have been rejoicing over the recent decision
of the Supreme Court OF the United States
as TO the unconstitutionality OF the civil
rights bill. Some Of the Republicans at
the North have been highly indignant
about the same decision. That class OF
them, in their wrath, have boldly an
nounced that in the next presidential con-
test the Republicans will make il an issue
whether the Constitution shall not be
amended so that the United States Congress
may have a constitutional right to pass a
bin giving to negroes the right TO ride in
the same ears, eat at the same table, &c.,
&C., with white people.
Before examining whether Virginia can
give encouragement to such an intention,
and before showing how encouragement
can be given, il is worth ones while to no.
tice who they are that make such an an
nouncement. One need not be troubled
about the speech Of Fred. Douglass and
| far less worthy OF respectful attention is
any remark Of Colonel Bob Ingersoll. But
we should notice the position OF the Ma
| tionQl Republican. Ii goes without saving
that such necessity arises, not from any
respect due to an opinion from such a
source, but because it expresses the senti-
ments OF the "Stalwarts and the Ar
thur Administration. Such being true,
| it is fair and reasonable to say that
| all who prefer Arthur to Bavard-
all who are q" for Arthur because
Arthur is for them "-share the same
sentiments. Surely il is bat iust to
| say that all who, like General Malone. re-
commend that paper, share those senti-
| ments, especially when no disavowal of
| such sentiments has been made by those
| who recommend il. One is justified, then,
In thinking that General Malone and those
who follow him hereafter intend 10 advo-
cate the same sentiments. The Coalition
party, then, can be looked upon as the adj
yocate OF such political issue. II but
follows, then, that any white man who
votes Coalition ticket at the next election
will be aiding and abetting the execution
OF such sentiments. Such statement Is
not "bugbear TO brighten the timid.
II is susceptible Of proof.
Suppose that after the announcement of
such sentiments by the Arthurites at Wash
ingt0n, the Arthurites in Virginia are sue
cessful. What will be the efiecty Will il
not follow that In the next Republican
Convention the advocates OF such senti-
ments will be justified in saying that Vir-
ginia Is ready and willing 10 assist In the
adoption OF such an amendment; that she
has already so indicated her willingness by
supporting the Virginia ArthuTites, who
BY their acts have already shown the rapid
progress towards such sentiments that II
she, with her mass OF negroes, is so will

Lord BeacOnsfieid's Younger Days.

Disraeli was essentially Warm-h hearted
and generous. 4nd when he took his first
plunge into ptblc life he went with the
stream which was then carrying most
young men, nd trained at public schools
and the uniyer tiles, toward humanitarian
theories OF all sinds; but from the first he
showed a disp, sition which would have
made HIM u.fit TO work with Psrlia-
mentary Liberals. In his earliest speeches
and writings, his satire always flies
straightest which levelled at the petty de-
vices Of place funting, at political hypo-
crisy, social Slams, and dull arrogance.
There was no p1ttiness in him; he had a
poet's mind, W Itch took grand, sweeping
views Of things and coniured up gorgeous
visions OF human progress and national
triumphs. He might have become the
most dangerous OF radical agitators; but
he settled into his proper place as de-
fender OF the institutions which had
made England great, and as friend OF
the most higisy cultured, most spirit
ed. and most tolerant aristocracy the
world has eYT seen. III he had been

The conference for the protection OF SUBJ
marine cables has been concluded. The
most important feature In the conference
was the English proposal that In the event
OF war any Power will be at liberty to
witbdraw, with the right Of readmission
when peace has been concluded. The con-
ference adopted this principle. This means
that In case Of war any power may cut
cables at Its own risk and peril The cables
must take chances similar to other property
at sea.
