RARRARISM IN VIRGINIA.

II any one In Eastern Virginia were
told that a poor old negro could be
murdered in cold blood within the
confines OF this State, without hav-
ing committed a crime, without hav-
ing offended man, woman or child,
the person so told would smile at the
imagination able to conjure up such
q story, and yet, this is Just what
happened in Franklin county, this
State, a few days ago. The story is
pathetic enough, sad enoughto bring
tears to the eye, and barbarous
enough, cruel enough to bring the
blush OF shame to the cheek of every
yirginian, since we all must feel the
Disgrace entailed upon the Common
wealth by such an act as the afro
cious murder OF the old negro re-
ierred to. Peacefully inhabiting his
humble log cabin, nearing the line
over which he now has passed to
meet bis God, this old ex-slave, a re-
m.pder OF that race OF black men
which existed in the days before the
war, and which endeared itself to the
South by the love, honesty and fide'-
fly OF its people, was shot down at
the door OF his home by white men.
and these white men were Virginians.
The reason for this act-the old
negro, they say, was q SCORER. Is 1t
possible that in Nirginia, enlightened
by education, by religion and by
everything which goes to make up
higher civilization, that such a be-
lief, belief which might not have
caused surprise when the Pilgrims
and Puritans first inhabited Massa-
chusetts, can still prevail? 1t seems
preposterous, and yet the old negro
was murdered iorsooth because the
ignorant whites in his section OF
Franklin county believed him a So
cerer. This story comes from relia-
BILE sources, bearing every evidence
of truth, and along with it comes the
news that the better people OF Frank
lin county will see TO it that the
brutes who murdered the old man
will meet their just reward-at the
end OF a rope. Such a fate they rich
ly deserve.

CENSrRE NOT JUSTlFIED.

From the statement OF the husband OF
the injured lady. and the sentiment OF the
masses in Mecklenburg, we would lnier
that Governor Montague has made a
yrievous mistake 10 respiting the tiend
Doc" Bacon. Ii willri up against him
"a one OF the errors of his administra-
ton. -yirginia Citizen.
We think it is pretty generally adj
mitted that the Governors action
was justified. 1t would have been a
horrible error had he allowed an H.
nocent man to hang, and Doc Bacon,
according to the Commonwealth s
attorney of Mecklenburg, may be IL
nocent. The Governor should lie
commended rather than censured for
his action in the premises.

The hated and much abused mos
quito comes in for his share OF praise
In Wheeling, II no where else. A citi-
zen was entertaining six gentlemen
visitors the other night; all had re-
tired and quiet reigned on the prem
isos. The mosquito came along and
presented his bill to the host, which
aroused him from his slumber.
Smelling escaping gas, he instituted
search; found that his visitors had
blown out the gas and were uncon-
scious. The gas was turned off, med
ical aid was summon and the six men
saved. Thus, one mosquito was the
means OF saving six lives. They
should erect memorial to that hos
quito.

About the most surprising politi-
cal turn within the bounds OF the
First District so far this year is the
apparent defeat OF Hon. Lloyd T.
Smith, commemorative attorney OF
Northumberland, by c. s. Towles, a
young lawyer OF the county. Towles
claims fifteen Of the twenty-one dele
gates who will meet to nominate a
candidate for Commemorative at
torney, and unless the unforeseen hap
pens, he will be the Democratic nomi-
nee for that Office. In view OF the
fact that Mr.. Smith is the chairman
Of the First District Congressional
Committee and the right-hand man
OF Congressman Jones, his defeat by
Towles is all the more surprising.
Smiths absence from the county dur
ing the contest may, however, ae-
count, In a measure, for his oppo-
nent's success.

WHEN WILL 1T sToPg

The scenes enacted In Macedonia
by Turkish soldiers, with the ap-
proval of their officers, are disgrace
to barbarians, much less those who
call themselves civilized and humane.
IL does seems that Turkey is run
mad and determined to exterminate
the Macedonian Christians, and the
Powers are looking on with indiiIer-
ence. These blood-thirsty people are
not satisfied with numbering men,
but helpless women and children find
no mercy at their hands, but are
slaughtered by the wholesale. Those
who are not murdered are driven
from their homes and are hiding
wherever they can dnd shelter, desti-
tute Of both food and clothing. II is
said that nearly one hundred thou
sand of these poor creatures are
numbered in this class. The soldiers
murder and rob, without let or hin
drance, even stopping funeral process
sions on their way to the grave and
stripping corpses OF their burial suits.

down an uprising Of a depressed and

exterminate these Christians or COM
pei them to renounce their religion
and embrace another they reject and
despise. How long will the Powers
