The Virginia Campaign.
A FULL CoIORED VOTE.

The extra exertions being made by the Mahoneites
in Virginia do not bear out their assumptions of
fdence in aforthcoming victory. The secret circu-
lar of Senator Malone asking for the of bour
bons who are thought to be open to conviction, and
the pressing of Gov Cameron upon the stump, are
signs OF uneasness not to be mistaken. In truth the
result in Virginia is too much involved in doubt for
either party to feel sure of success The indications
are that Malone has lost ground in those portions of
elections some months ago furnished evidence Of
that, and there has been nothing since to show that
the reaction against him among the whites had been
checked. Much depends upon his ability to hold the
colored vote. Freed from the requirement of poll
tax, 1t Is admitted that the colored vote will poll
pretty nearly its entire strength. II Malone can
offset his loss in the white districts. The democrats
are making much better canvass than hitherto, in
means loss of the states electoral vote next year.
