It is evident that a change is needed
In the system Of conducting elections in
this State, IL we hope to preserge even
the semblance Of political hones.y IN the
management of our affairs. Tha. negro
suffrage is responsible ior many ir-esu-
laritieS no one can deny. When The white
men OF the State saw that the Republican
party of the North was determined to
bring the South under the domination of
an inferior race; when they found that
the success of that party meant social
degradation and disintegration. they natu-
rally banded together in self-defence and
drew the color line sharply in every pO-
iitical canvass. The result was the tri-
umph OF the white mans party after
many severe and bitter contests. and the
virtual disruption of the Republican party
In this State. In the mean time political
adventurers. mostly from the North. have
SO corrupted the colored vote of this state
that the merits of candidates are meas
ured by them according to the ability or
willingness TO pay the highest prices for
their sufrages.-Roanokc Evening World.

BURNING OF 4 HOUSE.
The BE con at Lower Ceder Poin De
stroyed.

The lighthouse at lower Cedar Point,
IN the Potomac river. was burned to the
piling on Monday night.
The captain Of a Norfolk steamer, pass
ing up the river on mis- way to Washing

when &c was almost over. When he
reached a point opposite the Iisht he
turned the steamers search light on
She place where the lighthouse bad been
and saw only the pilins on which the
superstructure had been erected. The
origin OF the fire is unknown.
Lower Cedar Point light was on the
end of Yates snoal. Maryland. on the
west side of the Potomac river. opposite
Lower Cedar Point. ABOVE Kettle Bottom
shoals. It was a nfth-order light, thirty
three and a half feet in height. and was
visible for eleven nautical miles, IL was
n fixed white light, with a fixed red
sector. 1t was a white square screw-pile
structure on piles, was established In 1861.

by machinery every twelve seconds. l.
stood in six feet OF water, with deep
water 160 yards off the east side. The red
sector covered Kettle Bottom shoals.
The lighthouse board has issued a notice
stating that the lish. had been destroyed.
A special disratch to the Baltimore
American from Port Tobacco says that
Mr.. Robert Z. Barbour. a tenant on the
farm Of the late Judge Brent, on Port
Tobacco creek, first saw the fire about
s O'Clock ard, with his glass, watched
the building until It was entirely de-
stroved. The lighthouse was kept by

u wopld Fmbnrrnss the Grand Jury

The Dispatch suggests that a certain
citizen of Charlotte county should go be-
fore "A grand jury and testify as TO his
knowledge Of election frauds in that
county. For investigating allegations OF
frauds" says the Dispatch. "a grand Jury
has capabilities superior 10 the ca .,abili-
ties Of a legislative investigating COM
mittee." II would be very bad Cor the
cause Of justice and law if sJch verc not
the case. But our amiable Richmond con-
temporary only makes the suggestion as
a bit Of pleasantly. We are sure. Grand
juries frequently investigate lynchinSs,
but it is rare that they make a present
ment. Why? Because the lynchers are
often the %neighbors of the jurym2n, and
it would be embarrassing, although only
just. TO make the inquiry searching and
practical. 1t is the same case, we sus-
poet. with the murderous assaults Ccm-
mitted upon the ballot. The sr1LG jury
would. mistakenly. Of course. be cmhar-
raised By their relations 10 me offenders.
But We shall never have genuine reform
until both grand juries and inves- isating
committees do their full duty fearlessly.-

The Payment Postponed:

Chicago, March 6.-l he payment
of dividend to Worlds Fair stock
holders has again been postponed,
and the indications now are that
the milli( n and quarter dollars
that have been available for this
purpose since the gates of Jackson
Park we're closed on October 3lst
will remain locked up in the banks,
instead Of being put into rcula
ton, for at least two months. The
reason now assigned for this action
is that the members of the board
of directors are scattered, many of
them now being enjoying trips in
Europe and the Holy Land, and
Others taking in the sights of the
California Midwjnter Exposition.
A full meeting of the board is nee
esssry in order to declare divi-
dend, and hence the minority still
in the city is powerless to act.
While the distribution Of the fund
would not amount to more than ten
per cent of the capital stock, 1t
would be boon to thousands OF
poor people who became stockhold'
ers " hen the local enthusiasm that
preceded the Worlds Fair vas at
Its height, and many of whom are
now in need of dollar.

ing will commence. For a long
time our farmers have depended too
much on this crop. Although it
is known 20 every rational farmer
that large cotton crops mean lower
prices every year ard consequent
disaster TO cur county, yet with a
persistency frightful to contem plate,
they will plunge into the same old
ruts agsin this year. Right along
on this line we hope ere long to see
the benz fetal results of our Grange
organizations. If every neighbor
hood throughout the state would
reorganze their dormant Oranges
and organize as many new ones ar
possible, with the distinct under
standing that their object ia to foster
and build up an interest in every

to permanently vance every inter.

DISCUSSED in the meetings, much
light could be thrown on thefe

there would soon be revival OF
