NEGRO DISTURBANCE IN NORFOLK
On Monday evening Of last week, the 1st
regiment, colored volunteers, of Norfolk,
celebrated its anniversary by parade in
which visiting colored companies from Pc
tersburg joined. When preparing for the
dress parade, the commanding officer re-
quested the police to keep the crowd from
pressing on his men and interfering with
their movements. This an officer attempt
ed, and the immense crowd of colored peo-
pie fell back, except one negro, who struck
the officer and seized his club. The crowd
then began to boot and yell, and several
negroes rushed at the officer, who was fl
nally rescued by the police force present.
In the melee three officers were badly hurt
before order could be restored. Later in
the evening a negro struck a negress. A
policeman attempted his arrest and was
struck by rock thrown from crowd of
negroes and seriously injured. A lady pass
ing was also struck by rock. The chief
of police had all his force in readiness to
preserve order, and an extra force was sent
to the colored quarter. Five rioters are I'M
der arrest.

Failure of the Morrison Bill.

The vote striking out the enacting clause
of the Morrison bill was passed by very
slender majority-five only-and the result,
says the Norfolk Landmark, will be that an
appeal will be made to the people of the
country. Whether this will be done in the
November contest, or in the elections for
the next House of Representatives, is ques-
ton we are not now prepared to answer; but,
sooner or later, the struggle will force itself
on the politicians of the country. In the
meantime we in Virginia must stand to-
gether and avoid any of the evaporation
which might grow out Of division among
ourselves. The Lynchburg platform is
broad enough for us all; and, confronted
as we still are by Malone and his Negro
hordes, our first and supreme duty is to the
State of Virginia.
Within the next few years the question
will so assert itself, perhaps, that a revision
of the declaration above referred to will be
necessary; but until then we see no reason
why the vote in Washington should disturb
us in Virginia.

Primary Election.

The Primary election to make Demo-
cratic nominations for the municipal cleo
ton of this city will be held next Friday.
1t is hoped that every Democrat will vote
in the Primary election, that the nomina-
tons made may represent the wishes of the
majority of the Democrats of this city.
It is the fairest mode of making nomina-
tions, and if proper nominations shall not
be made, it will be because a number of
voters failed to take part in making them.
No man who shall fail to vote at the pri-
mary election will be justified in complain
ing at the character of the nominations,
for he failed in his duty to take part in
making them. 1t is the duty of every
Democrat to vote for the nominees of the
primary election whether he vote in that
election or not.
To refrain from voting in the primary
election, does not relieve any Democrat
from his obligation to vote for the Demo
cratic nominees, if he claims to be party
Democrat. The right thing to do, is tx
vote in the primary as well as in the reg1
lar election

BAD PoLICY.-Our anti-reform tariff
brethren of the press in Virginia should be
consistent at least. The burden of their
cry for the last six months has been an
earnest, almost hysterical protest against
being read out of the Democratic party by
some persons unknown, and very generally
thought to be mythical But now some
of these same journals seem fixed in pur-
pose to make adherence to the present war
tariff an article of Democratic faith Even
such eminent Democrats as Hon. J. Ran.
Tucker are threatened with the political
guillotine on account of their position as
revenue reformers. 1t is possible that a
majority of the people of Virginia may be
opposed 20 revenue reform and favorable
to the present Republican war-tariff, but
that is not the question. The Democratic
Conservative party of Virginia has now,
and will have for years, other issues pre-
sented to 1t in the.presence of which the tar
iff and other economic issues sink into utter
insignificance. We therefore earnestly
protest against making protection or free
trade a test of Democratic orthodoxy, and
we warn those journals that make an at
tempt to sacrifice Tucker and other emf
nent Democrats, because of their advocacy
of revenue reform, will most inevitably
drive wedge into the party which will
split it into flinders. s'Tote fair, brethren,
tote fair, you shall not be read out Of the
party on account of your views on the tar

Col. C. 7. O'Ferrall Seated.

After months of what seems to us un-
necessary delay, Col. O'Ferrall has been
granted the seat to which he was entitled.
The proceedings in the House on last
Tuesday were as follows:
Mr.. Lowry called up the Virginia con-
tested election case of O'Ferrall VS.. Paul.
Mr.. Miller said that the minority of the
committee had not had time to prepare its
report, and asked that the case 60 over un-
til Wednesday, and Mr.. Turner thought
this request should be acceded to.
Mr.. Lowry refused to do SO, however,
and Mr.. Miller raised the question of CON
sideration.
The House determined, by a vote of
yeas 142, nays SO, to consider the election
case.
After a long debate. J. S. Wise (Va.)
spoke strongly and bitterly in opposition to
the claims of O'Ferrall, denounced the
Democratic party for inconsistency, and &C
cused it of attempting to steal seat in the
House on testimony on which man would
not shoot pointer dog for eating eggs. He
knew that his own seat was in peril, but he
defied the Democratic party. The House
was about to see Virginia Bourbon riding
lnlO IL on DdFuuu 3 mule from INDIANA. 1t
was fitting time for Virginia Bourbons to
come with hands smeared with the blood
of..murdered negroes, with ballots strangIed
and stolen, and with every law violated.
They came up to the fountain-head of ma
tional Democracy to be signed with the
cross of national fraud.
Immediately G.. D. Wise and Mr.. Cabell
(Va.) were on their feet to reply, but Mr..
Lowry secured the floor. If, he said, the
gentleman from Virginia q. S. Wise) was
seeking a martyrs crown from the Demo-
Gratis, he (Mr. Lowry would like to know
whether he would permit them to place it
on him in his kitchen. He then demanded
the previous question, thus cutting of fur
| ther debate
The first vote, which was on the minority
tresolution declaring that O'Ferrall is not
entitled to the seat, was lost-yeas 81, nays
140-a strict party vote except that Mr..
Cook (Iowa) voted with the Republicans
in the affirmative. The resolution seating
O'Ferrall was adopted, and that gentleman
appeared at the bar Of the House and took
the cath of Office.

Mr.. Hooper says that all the internal rev.
enue officers in Virginia, whether elected
as delegates to Mahone's recent convention
in Richmond or not, were ordered to be at
that convention, and that they all obeyed
that order, were admitted, and helped to
compose the crowd that howled down every
motion that was not part Of the Malone
programme. He also says that the Vir-
giniu federal ofice-holders who subscribed
thirty thousand dollars to the continued
support of General Mahone's home organ
will be compelled to pay that sum by the
fear of losing their places if they fail. And

The National Tickets, Probably.

The division Of the Democratic party on
the tariff question, and the result of the
vote on the Morrison Bill, foreshadows, in
our view, the nomination Of Tilden and
Hendricks, who carried the standard sue
cessfully in the campaign of 1876. The re-
nomination of that ticket would heal the
dissension in the Democratic party and
would result in its success. We think it
probable that the tickets nominated will
be Tilden and Hendricks Dy the Demo
Gratis, and Grant and Lincoln, by the Re-
publicans.
Our reason for thinking so, is that there
are dlssensions in both of the national par
ties, and that these tickets would tend more
certainly than any others to unite the par
ties they respectively represent Nous ver-
rone

The people do not know what amount
they are compelled to pay to support this
protective system which now enriches the
monopolists and lmpoverishes the multi
tude. An examination of the United States
census reveals the fact that this protective
system, in addition to the amount OF tax
imposed upon the people for the support of
their municipal, State, and United States
over eleven dollars upon every man, woman
and child in the United States. This state
ment has been fully verified by the reports
given in the United States census, of 1880.
The amount collected by the United States
government, which becomes a part of the
revenue, in excess of that really needed,
amounts to as much as one hundred mil
lions in one year, which added to the above
amount which is paid to manufacturers,
would make the unnecessary tax upon the
people average $13 per head for every man,
woman and child in the United States
SIen Herald.

INCONSISTENT DECIsIONs.-The Rich
mond Dispatch of Friday last, in referring
to the decisions rendered by the Court OF
Appeals ON the day before, says
''The Court of Appeals decided yesterday
that the Legislature has not the right to
prescribe the qualifications of election Of
ficers-that is, that that body cannot require
them to be freeholders.
The same court decided yesterday that
the Legislature has the right to prescribe
the qualifications of election oficers-that
is, that that body can require them to be
on-offce-holders under the Federal Gov
eminent.
In other words the court usurped the
province of the Legislature and decided that
there was no good reason why election Of
fcers should be freeholders, but plenty OF
good reasons why they should not be Fed
eral officials. Clearly this is question that
the Legislature ought to have been permit
ted to decide for itself.

cording to the dispatch Barber had been

killing her instantly. The murderer was

The selfish republicans are inclined to
give Malone the cold shoulder because he
preferred to come in through the kitchen,
instead of ringing the door bell. But the
poor fellow had no alternative. He had
given Arthur his pledge to march good
army of readjusters into the republican bar
racks in 1884, but after four years of march
ing and counter marching he had to draw
up with his forces at the back door. But
they need not give themselves any trouble
on account of a want of ceremony On the
part of Malone in marching in the rein
forcements, for when they prepare to assign
their new allies to winter quarters in NO
vember, they will find out that Virginia
democrats could take the alarm from the
scent of the republican kitchen as well as
from the name engraved On the front dor
plate, and that only the conspirators sue
ceeded in getting into the fold.-WoodstocE
