NOT A WALK OVER.

The hesuE of the recent election In
this city, and in Richmond, where SO
many colored people voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, leads the Fredericksburg
Free Lance to say that 1t does not look
as # the Republicans are going to have
u walk-over In Virginia this year
Certainly not, contemporary. Who
said The Republicans were going to have
walk-over in Virginia this year? The
fact is that they Will not only not have
II walk-over. but on the contrary they are
going to have a mighty hard fight-the
hardest fight of their lives. and no mis-
take. All that the Democrats need is
to stand together, and Virginia will be
found in the Democratic column proud
~ lifting her head when the smoke of
battle clears away. Our contemporary
says further THAT the Republicans are
tumbling all over each other to pick
up nominations ir debatable districts

rmE WAY HE LOOKS AT 1T.

Colonel Charles p. Lincoln. the orator
at the decoration ceremonies III the Ma
tional Cemetery at Washington, last
Saturday said the Confederate cause
was supported by no higher motive
than the disruption of the Union and the
perpe,uation of human slavery" and
as might be expected, those who heard
him were astounded by the declaration.
Almost every man. woman and child
in the country who are at all familiar
with the history of the late war and
what led up TO it need not be told that
Colonel Lincoln is wrong in his conclu-
sions. assuming that he really believed
what he said, for they know, as Col
Lincoln ought to know. that the SOL
diers of the Confcderacy fought for a
principle, and that their motives were
infinitely higher than those which he
is pleased to assign.
1t IS unfortunate that such men should
assume to be teachers when they know
so little of the subject matter under
treatment, and 1t is more unfortunate
still that there should be any one to lis
ten to them.

Springfield, Mass, a few DAYS since
stated TO reporter of the Union. a Re-

was far from bsing satisfied with the
results of the efforts for the reforma-
