4 TOTE REFORM.

Notwithstanding hard times in old Virginia, tue people over there are having new agitation in the subject of a constitutional conven- tion to do something with black supremacy, as combined with ignor- ance aud carpetbag fanaticism- Tine movement is to counteract one by the Republicans and PopuIists, who are organizing into socalled aFair Election" party, with Mahone at the head. When Malone lost power, the Democrats, by slightly changing the laws his party had enacted, fixed it so that in about twenty counties where the negroes were in majority, these largely ao- stained from voting, and now the question is how toreduce the colored vote to minimum and yet have fair elections. This it is proposed 10 effect through an educational test. But here comes in q difficult prob lem. A great many white people in Virginia, Republicans and Demo erats, would be quito as much affected as many Of the negroes. The war struck the State when thousands of the present voters could not go to school, and it will be hard to tell a Confederate soldier, for instance, that he cannot vote on account of not being familiar with the constitution of tbe United States. Thus it will be seen the case calls for prae tical wisdom aud good sense, in order to avert . protracted race war.

 It has always been a mystery to me how mothers could deceive their ohil- dron when they go to make calls and visits, attend church sociaIs and thea teGs and even church l have seen mothers get some ono to take the atten- tion of the little ones while they would slip eff.
