The place now has about 60 acres pretty
well set in clover and timothy"
This will give an idea of what farm is
when titled by white man land what it is
when titled by a colored farmer. and it will
give our Western friends an idea of aohy it
is that good land may be bought 80 cheap
in Virginia. 1t would not be the case
if the tillers of Virginia soil were all white
men with that continual evolution of the
day laborer into the farm buyer, which
creates demand for farms.
Another point in the Buckeye Farmers
articIe-the political and social view. 1t
quotes and. very reasonably, condemns the
recent action of Council Committee in
Richmond. in discharging every Republi-
can employed on public building. To be
perfectly frank with our contemporary,
parties in Virginia are very much like they
are in any other State-maybe in his own
State of Ohio. When either party is on
Top, it strikes us from what we have read
of Ohio politics, that the situation of the
weaker party here is pretty much what it
is there. When the Republicans got pos
session of Virginia in 1881. they cleaned
the State up. sending adrift even the
shoemakers. carpenters. and steam engi-
neers in the State charitable institutions.
Our contemporary must not get the idea
that the Republicans get any party pros
cription in this State that the Democrats
don't get in their turn when they are
under. The VINDICATOR disapproves of
the whole business, for 1t is an advocate of
Civil Service Reform, but we are obliged
to say that there are few Republican or
Democratic journals OF that kidney in
Virginia-or in Ohio either, we reckon.
But partizau politics have no part in this
emigration matter. Of the ten members
of the State Board of Agriculture ap-
pointed by the Democratic Governor Lee,
four are Republicans, one of them a
Union Colonel who commanded Massa-
chusetts regiment. This same Colonel
was the Commissioner at the Richmond
Exposition to represent his county. The
county agents of immigration are ap-
pointed by the Democratic State Agent Of
Immigration, without regard to politics,
and his appointee for this lAugnsta}
county is Rev. Samuel Driver, we'll
known Republican.
AS to the social reception of Northern
or Western people who buy farms in Vir-
ginia, we are perfectly willing to leave
that to those Of them who have come to
the State. This idea of prescription is
rather one of those faded inheritanees
from the Reconstruction days of twenty
years ago, than anything that has a real
existence to-day. That it did exist in
that day is perfectly true. but what the
sssettlers'' of that period, who were very
different menafrom those who have com g
since, did to deserve it, naad not be resur

rected. If the same sorry sort of Virgin
ians had gone to Ohio Immediately after
the civil war, and behaved as badly as
some of the SETTLERS" from the North, of
that day, behaved here, we doubt if
human nature in Ohio would have been
very different from what it was in Virgin
la. But it has been so long past that it is
not even talked of now, and the younger
generation growing up don't even know
that there was time in Virginia when
very different men came from the Eastern
and Northern States from those that come
few carpet baggers from the Western
States that ever came in those ugly days.
Speaking for to-day, the people of Virgin
ia welcome, and are glad to welcome, every
man that comes from other States to set
tie within her borders, whether he be Re-
publican or Democrat. and on that point
the people of the other States of the
Union may be at rest. They will not only

neighbors as we'll.

JNFORMA TION FOR BUYERS OF
VIRGINIA LANDS.


The Buckeye Farmer OF Mansfield, Ohio,
edited by Mr.. M. V. Mason, has an arti-
Gle both fair and kindly on Virginia as
place to buy land in. After describing
the advantages of Virginia. it says
Admitting the conditions to be as we state
them, it may be asked why has not the state
been rapidly peopled with settlers from the
North and West? We will give what we be-
Ieye to be some of the reasons. Because lit
tie has been known of the resources of the
state 1t was generally supposed that its
lands were worn out that what was not worn
out is mountainous and worthless. In fact
want of information is one of the chief reasons
for lack of development
1t is perfectly true that this reputation
of worn out lands" has greatly damaged
the attraction of Virginia as a place to
buy in. A buyer who reads any account of
them, which claims that they are not
ssworn OUT" naturally asks why, if that is
the case, buyers are not found in Virginia
to pick up acres gong at such conceded
low figure.
The answer to this is simple, and our
friend of the Buckeye Farmer would rem
der our people an additional favor il he
would reproduce it in his columns. Vlr-
pinia is not like Ohio or other Western
State, with population of white people
who are daily on the lookout for lands to
improye One half of her population is com.
posed of colored men who have been trained
as farm hands. but who do DoI take land
to improve it or even to keep it up. We
have before US letter from Mecklenburg
county where this class of population is in
large, perhaps in major proportion. The
writer, who is land owner, says:
GAS a general thing, in this part of the
country the land that is offered for sale has
been occupied for several years by Negro
tenants, and very badly cared for, which
makes it far from attractive-l looking to parties
from more favored points. Notwithstanding
its bad tenants for SO long, it improves under
good management faster than any land l
ever had experience with. For instance, had
q tract of 200 acres that three years ago was
worked by colored man with pillow and
pair of oxen. The gross receipts for the year

state in his hearing his reasons for urging

in the matter. and had, he believed, only
seen the Superintendent two or three
times, but he felt that every member Of
the Council should remember that under

notified that O'Donnell was not tit and
