NORFOLK, August 3, 1889.
The Malone Republican organizers are
actively engaged in organizing the colored
element into leagues as the most effective
way to get control Of the party Snd etfectu-
allv stamp out the efforts OF the kickers at
the ward and precinct meetings shortly to
be held 20 send delegates 20 the State Con
yention. In the county and III Portsmouth
the league organizers are most active TO
the dismay Of the Wisc-1frOner faction.
There is evidently no love lost between the
Malone and Wise factions IN tins section,
notwithstanding the covenant made III
Washington recently.
MORTALITY.
There was o great difference in the NOR
tality list Of the whites and blacks in this
section last year. the deaths among the
negroes being about one third greater than
among the whites. The great difference IN
themortality Is easily understood. Inc ne
grOeq az a rule aOout her" are idle, un-
thrifty. and Of unreliable habits. If they
labor AZ all it Is from necessity and not
from auv sense Of moral obligation with n
view to improving their future condition
hence they are frequently found huddled
together IN close quarters amid great un-
cleanliness.

SATURDAY.. JANUARY 10, 1880.



The time of the present Congress
will expire in about six weeks, aud
there Is no probability that it will be
able in that short time to transact the
business which must DO attended to-
Among the measured which demand
attention is the consideration of the
tariff question and the admission OF
the territories. The Democrats in the
House have had ample time during
the present session to attend to all this
business, but instead Of so dong the
time was wasted in trying to concoct
and pass bill that should have been
entitled IAN Act TO Destroy the Indus
tries Of this Country" AS the ques-
tons that must be considered of the
utmost importance TO the entire coun-
try, it will no doubt be one of the first
duties OF President Harrison to call an
extra session of Congress. The need
for this becomes more apparent every
day, as public interests demand that
the Affairs Of this country shall not re
main until next December in the un
settled condition that they will be left
by the present administration. Another
important matter that should be at
tended 10 is the settlement of contested
seats, and the sooner this is done the
b.tter 1t will be for the country.

Levy CourtmAn Hickman is about as
much puzzled as to who shall be appoint
ed county tax collectors as President-elect
Harrison Is as to who he shall select as
bis Cabinet Rdvi5ers. The offices OF col
lector in this city are very lucrative, and
there are many who would ike TO have
them, but only two can be appointed. 1t
Is said that Mr. Hickman is very much
hampered with the presidency with which
the old collectors, Messrs. Neary and
