The Virginia Election.

Now that the election in Virginia is over,
and the fact that the fight made by Gen.
Malone against the Bourbon Democracy OF
that State has res lltei in his defeat, is clear
~ established, it may be well TO consider
some of the means which were resorted TO
by his opponents.
1t will be remembered that on the Satur-
day night preceding the election, desper-
ate fight was reported to have occurred. at
Danville between the whites and blacks of
that place. The attempt was made by the
Democratic press, to show that the negroes
were the agrees rs and that war of races
was about to be .usurated. State troops
were called out 10 assist in keeping the
peace and to protect the defenseless white
citizens from the attacks of the savage
blacks
The election returns showed that the
peace had been . well preserved and the
blacks so completely overawed by the pres
ence Of the State troops and by bands of
armed white men. that on the day Of cleo
ton. in the district in which Danyille is To-
Gated as well as in several other portions OF
TIE state. only about one or two in ten Of
tie coored supporters Of Gen. Malone,
dared present themselves at the polls and
claim their right Of suffrage.
\ reign of terror existed such rs has not
infrequently been seen in the states farther
South, but never before in thlt State. In
vestgatians mada since the election indicate
with good deal certainty, that the fight

was as effective in is results as though the
whole matter had heen previously planned.
A staff correspondent Of the PkiiGasl-
plia Press has recently visited hanv!lle and
upon information gathered from leading men
bitterly opposed to Gen. Malone says. ii is
apparent that on Saturday evening while the
negroes were purchasing their marketing
for Sunday. a personal quarrel between a

Appreciate Your Mother.

a father talking to his careless
daughter said: want to speak to
you of your mother. It may be that
you have noticed careworn look on
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brought there by any act of
yours, still it is your duty to chase 1t
away. want You to get up to-morS
row morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins
to express her surprise, go right up
to her and kiss her on the mouth.
You can t imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides, you owe her
a kiss or two. Away back when You
were a little girl, she kissed you when
no one else was tempted by your
fever-heated breath and swollen face.
Sou were not so attractive then as
you are now. And through these
years of sunshine and shadows she
was always ready to cure by the magic
of mothers kiss, the little dirty
chubby hands whenever they Here
injured in those first skirmishes with
this rough Old world. And then the
midnight kiss with which she routed
so many bad dreams as she leaned
oyer your restless pillow, have all
been on interest those Bong years.
OF course she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are, but if you had
done your share of the work during
the last ten years, the contrast welEld
not be so marked. Her face has
more wrinkles than yours, far more,
and yet if You were sick, that face
would appear more beautiful than an
angels as it hovered over you, watch
ing every oportunity to minister to
your comfort, and every one of those
ringIets would seem to be bright
wavclets of sunshine chasing each
other over the dead face. She will
teave you one of these days. The
burden, if not lifted from her should
eTs, will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands, that haFe done so
many unnecessary things for you will
be crossed upon her lifeless breast.
Those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss will be closed
forever, and those sad, tired eyes
will have opened in eternity, and
then you will appreciate your mother,
but 1t will be too late.
