cd without opposition. A contest
between Robert u. Tyler, of Prince
William, and Samuel F. Coleman,
of Oum berlaud, resulted 10 the
election of the latter on The second
ballot. The commission is now
composed of GOV. Mckinney, Lieut.

Now that the commission is created
and will be organized at once, the
question is whether any inlOrma-
ton has been received from the
bondhoIderS touching any new pro
pOsal for a settlement. 1t is said
that tor some days pas: certain
friends here of the bondhOIders
have been telegraphing their rep
resentatives in London. The idea
seems to be that with a commits
sion composed of such material as
that Just authorized b. the Legls

position to SPEAK for them can
discuss proposals and be heard
with more calmnes7 tnan they cOulC

Ell the best way t. calmly heal

comm .ssion is limited to the BASH
of the II ddleberger act. There
are those who believe that the com

some proposal which will be &C
ceptable to the people of the State
There are those, though, who pro

TO AFFECT THE NEGRO.

may or may not have an impOr-
tant bearing on the political future
of the negroes. The bill in ques
ton requires that in the re.assess-
ment this year of land and all other
taxables shall indicate the race of
of each taxpayer. Heretofore no
effort has been made to separate
the whites from the blacks on the
tax lists. The object OF this meas
nre is to show the proper
ton of taxes paid by the negroes
of Virginia. During the last state
campaign some prominent Demo
Gratis urged that the negroes
should only be allowed to have for
the maintenance OF their public
schools the proportion of the
school tax paid by their race
The scheme adopted by the lower
branch of the Assembly, it carried
out, will furnish the data upon
which such a separation of schools
would be based"
The above we have clipped for
the purpose of comment:
1st. The information thus sought
TO be secured will be useful that it
may show that our late slaves and
who could not hold any property
as slaves, have supported them
selyes-raised families-acqulred
some property. 1t is note worthy
that all The slave ever ha was his
masters.
2nd. The measure hal better

many negroes could read and

for apprehension; for in the last
campaign noble Chamberlayne's
"disfrocked pulpiteer" Rev. NJ

dren aud black for black.
4rh. These things must have
been prompted by a desire to make
votes on race issue, TO make the
negro's vote, the football, forget
full of the humlnitleS and proprle-
ties, forgettul, nay ungrateful OF
the recent past as to tthe negro's
