MORE TESTIMONY.

To emphasize the dangerous charac-
ter of the present white legislature.
for there are no colored men in it, and
only two or three Republicans, we call
attention TO the uttersnces of the fol-
lowing white citizens of character,
ability and money,-men who have Ia
bored to bring capital to the state by
the addition of millions of dollars.
The TIMRs' reportoriAl columns say:
ga storm of indignation has been
aroused by the passage of the bill by
the Legislature to establish an Office OF
commission of valuation. While it is
claimed that the obj act of the bill is 10
get the tax dodgers, yet, on the other
hand, it is claimed that the real effect
of the bill will be tue driving out OF
capital and che sitting OF industry.
Those who figure IN this industrial
and financial world claim that the bill
will result in untold damage to the
industrial ard financial life of the
State"
When you touch white mans COM
fort, it is bad enough; but when you
reach for his pocket-book, il is awful
The Legislature OF Virginia seems to
have interfered with both.
Major CHARLES e. STRINGFELLow,
one of the most influential white citi-
zens of the commonwealth is quoted a.
follows:
ST have been practicing law in Vir'
GINA for forty years, but in all my ex-
perience have never known legisla.
tion so vicious or so cdious."

THAT DISH OF GROW.

The Richmond DISPATCH is now ex-
hibiting signs of much unessiness in
the neighborhood OF its stomach since
the passage OF the bill establishing
commissioners of valuation in each
county and city.
It made heroic effort to "est crow
and say nothing" but its ergsn OF di-
gestion has rebelled violently and af-
ter declaring that il the measure
had been publicly discussed would
never have been enacted into law in
dulges in the following comment:
Yes, II it had been subjected TO
such criticism as that which The Sea.
board bill had to undergo it would
have furnished q campaign OF educa-
ton for the people of Virginia. Ii
could have been shown that the bulk OF
the revenue OF Virglnis is not derived,
as il popularity supp )sed, from her ag-
riculturists, but from other sources.
chief among which are the cities snd
the railroads or the State. It would
have appeared also that in maBy Vir-
ginia counties horses, cows, sheep,
hogs, etc are assessed for taxation
at ridiculously low figures. Il would
have been admitted, ton, that not q
few of the counties in this State draw
from the State Treasury ON account of
pensions, public schools, criminal ex-
penses, care of lunatics, cts. far mora
than they pay back in the form of tax
es. There are whole tiers of counties
in VirginiR-not poor counties, either
where ths State has to pay out more
money than is paid back to her in
taxes"
We have always commended that the
argument that any class of citizens
paid the larger proportion OF the taxes
and accor dingly the other class should
suffer was dangerous doctrine, in fact
was q two.edged sword which cats
both ways.
To be plain, the DISPATCH has con.
tended that the white people paw 9S
per cent Of the taxes and that the
colored people pay virtually nothing
although they were virtually robbed OF
the results OF their toll for $50 years
and it went to enrich the white people
of this commonwealth. We now pay
taxes on twelve million dollars worth
OF property.
1t seems that the time is now at hand
when the cities will say to the counties
that we pay the e. xss and must con.
troll, and the rich white mer will say
to the poor white men that they pay
the taxes and must control.
When this day comes and reaches its
noon-day brightness, labor may well
tremble in the presence Of capital
Right principles are eternal and they
continue to confound our enemies.

MORE ABOUT THE SERVANT GIRL

The Richmond, Va, DIsPATcH OF
March Attn, contains an article from 8
writer, presumably white lady, but
who hides behind the nom de- plume
I'M. s." She says:
''The article in your last Sundays
issue, under the signature of House
keeper" touches, though lightly. q
question which has become q serious
concern to our people and one which
will sooner or later, exact at their
hands, both positive and systematic
action.
The question is of servants, and has
been one of more or less moment in
the Southern States, ever since the
Negroes we're somersaulted from slav-
cry into freedom. As a result OF his
acsobatie performance, and a change
from one extreme to the other, the Ne
groes found themselves, though in the
garb OF bodily freedom, Yes still I'M
clothed with such right frame Of mind
Is tending to inspire them to hoe their
own row. in cultivation of harmony
between the races"
After delivering herself in this re
markable manner she says:
"The friction which began between
the Negro ard his employer at the
close OF the war has not diminished
with the lapse of years, but has steadi-
ly grown until its proportions are real
lS serious. Especially is this the case
with domestic servants, and to such an
extent as to cry aloud Tor relief OF
some kind. And this cry should be ell
the more needed. and imperative, for
it comes from the lips and souls OF
those OF our households who have the
all too thanklsss task OF contend lng
with domestIcs, while the men of the
families are at the less snnoying duties
of business.
These are peculiar white folks.
