that has been raised against it by General
Mahone's few remaining white JacHmen.
The anti. Mahoneites could not possibly gain
ANYTHING by joint discussions, for none nut
negroes, and few white office holders ana
eeekers, 60 TO hear the Generals speakers,
and thew would continue to vote for him II
thew knew he had just come out OF the penn
Tertiary. Then, too, as General Mahone says
the democrats brow-beat, buildoze, ana
murder his followers, it is best that the TWO
parties he kept as far away from each otner
as space can separate them. Nothing Is
better calculated to produce realizing
sense of the difference between the material
that composes the two political parties IN
Virginia than look at their respective
meetings. The attendants at the Malone
gatherings are nine-tenths negroes and one
tenth white men 80 possessed OF the desire
of getting office that they have lost their
sef.respect and have become regardless OF
the respect of their neighbors in their efforts
to crafty it. Those who attend the demo-
cratic meetings, on the contrary, are The BODY
of the respective communicating honest,
industrious, thrifty people, who make their
own living; who make the State; whose only
political aim is to secure good government,
and who have other things to occupy their
time than working for Office. Asettler who
attends Malone meeting, and then goes TO
q democratic meeting in the same county,
doesn't require any thing else to determine
his political utilization. Therefore let this
campaign be conducted without joint dis
cussion. Let each party shiny on its own
side.

I Ig j.. the same way all over the South
in which, as in the Petersburg district of this
State, the negroes have u large majority.
Also, as in the Petersburg district, the only
white republicans there are a few office
holders Therefore, as in the Virginia dis
trict referred to, the negroes are certainly,
80 far as political equality, for which
the republicans are such professed great
sticklers, is concerned, entitled to the re-
publican congressional nomination. But
because negro republican is running
for Congress there, he has not only been re-
moved from the little government Office he
filled, but as in the Petersburg case, 1.-THE
whole power Of the administration" is
thrown in favor of his white republican OPP
ponent. But the negroes will continue to
vote the republican ticket all the same.
Their nature, like that of other races, is un-
changeable. They are devoid of gratitude,
and, now as when they were slaves, they
are the best servants to the hardest mas

contemplated in the near future.
Tire grounds are ample, enc are to
be seeded down in lawn grz as,
planted in with shruts and flowers
and cut through with walks where
a pleasant stroll may be INDUCED in
when SO desired. The fact that the
Temple grounds go over the brow
of the hill, or bench or plateau
upon which the Temple is built,
affords an unusual opportunity for
the display Of taste and care in this
direction, which, if what is already
to be seen may be taken as an evil
dence, will be well considered, pro-
perly and determinedly acted upon
by the enterprising inhabitants of
this fair and prosperous valley.

crowds gathered about the Temple,

is TO provide offices, reception
