SENATOR SHERMAN has made another
speech. In it he goes farther than be did
before, and asserts that there is scarce
" district in the entire South in which
there is any pretense of a fair election and
in which negroes are not openly defiauded
BY every device the ingenuity of crime can
invent" He also advises that the North
ern States should stand together to reduce
Southern representation based upon the COL
ored vote. What do the Northern settlers in
Virginia think of Mr. Sherman, knowing, as
they do, that the only negroes in their re-.
spective neighborhoods whose political free
dom is at all restricted are those who are
"made hot" by their own race if they
evince an inclination to vote the democratic
ticket?

SOME SURPRISE is expressed at the fact
that Mr.. Wise has raised the bloody shirt
flag here in Virginia, where every body,
even the negro delegates to the convention
that nominated him, knows that nothing
has happened within the limits Of the
States lines that warrants such action, and
that by it alone he must lose rather than
make votes. But Mr.. Wise knows how
easily the North can be influenced by its
prejudices, and he is availing himself of that
knowledge to increase in that section the
contributions to his campaign fund. His
assaults upon the people of his own State
are not for home, but for Northern effect.

ALEXANDRIA, VA
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER Q.
AS RAW SUGAR is peculiarly a Southern
nroduct, the protectionists of the North are

AS RAW SUGAR is peculiarly Southern
product the protectionists of the North are
perfectly willing to relieve the people of
the country of the forty million dollars ex.
acted of them by the present tariff upon that
article, especially as the Northern retiners
would be pro6ted thereby. But there they
draw the line. Not cent must be taken
of the duty imposed upon any article that
grows or is manufactured in the North.
There is no doubt that raw sugar should be
free; but so should be salt, coal, iron, and
every other prime necessary of life, whether
it be natural or artificial product. But
Northern protectionists don't agree with the
rest of mankind that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander. With them,
Southern products, such as sugar and rice,
can be free, but Northern products must be
protected. And yet there are Southern
men, and strangest of all, Southern men call
ing themselves democrats, who are in favor
of protective tariff; for protection and
democracy are essentially incompatible.

SIDEWALK TO CEMETERY.
Should be Built at Once-The City Will
Assist-The Ledger Scheme.

We have taken the trouble this
week to figure on what o sidewalk to
the cemetery will cost; also to can
vass the people and find out how they
feel about it A mile Of good walk
will cost about 5000. The city will
make the property owners put down
a sidewalk in front of their property
to the city limits. This will bring
the walk within about one-third of a
mile Of the cemetery, or maybe q
little further. At the outside the
cost will not be over $500 from the
city limits to the cemetery. The city
we + sure will give 5000 of this
money. We think 5000 can be raised
by subscription. Every man in
town is interested in this matter.
The LEDGER will see what the council
is willing to do at its next meeting
and then if the plan meets with pub
lie approval we will start the paper at
once. There is no need for US to
enumerate the reasons for such q
walk. They r evident and mani
fold. There are property owners out
near the cemetery who should give
at least s25. Now is the time to
push this enterprise.
