is that if Secretary Carlisle were wise

An Alexandria county man here to-
day, says it is impossible to enforce the
law there as long as the republican
majority in that county is composed OF
negroes, as that majority will not elect
the right sort of men to office, and as 1t
is oaly natural that improper elective
officers should select improper APP
pointees. He also said the professions
of the board of trade of this city, in re-
spect of better government in his coun-
tv. were not sincere, and consisted in
words and not in deeds, for true SYM
pathy is practical, and when the mem
bsrs of that board say they are sorry for
Alexandria county, and they are asked
to subscribe to fund for buying
5hei negro majority there-the only
way by which good officers eau
be elected-they turn up their eyes
, and say to do so would be to debaucE
suffrage. He also says it is believed IL
the county that the fuss kicked up by 8
few people in Washington about al
legged crimes in Alexandria county i
, really for the purpose of keeping Wash
| ington people from buying cheap home
lots in that county and compelling
; them to buy dear ones in that city. HI
says it will hardly be possible to defeat
r the ticket nominated by the recent
negro convention of the county, as the
negroes had majority of three hun
dred there before, and at the recen
registration their vote was increased
e more than one hundred in Jefferson
district, one hundred in Arlington ant
seventy-fve in Washington.
