VIRGINIA EDITORS ABROAD.

The Virginia editors are having
fine time Of 1t in Florida. At every
point they have been cordially received,
and the people Of the Flower State have
been doing all in their power to enter
tain them and to make their stay on
joyable. This is primarily a pleasure
jaunt. but the editors are picking up
great deal OF Information and broad
ening their views. x It has been charged
against the people Of Virginia that
they are more or less clannish and pro-
NnciaL We arc not willing to admit
the soft impeachment. but 1t is good
thing for Virgininns to travel and see
how things are done elsewhere. 1t Is
especially a good thing for a Virginia
editor to go abroad every now and then
and talk with people elsewhere and OBJ
serve their methods. One Of the great
est misfortunes to an editor Is for him
to fall into a rut OF all men, the
editor should be open to suggestions
and should cultivate the spirit of fair
sides to every question Except one
question In the South, which is not
dcbatable), and the editor who does his
duty will study both sides and endeavor
to reach an impartial conclusion.
Every conscientious editor endenvors
to discover what the truth Is about every
question, and II he Is courageous as we'll
as conscientious he will proclaim tho
truth when he has discovered it, wheth-
er It be to his advantage or not. After
ALL tho truth is tho only thing worth
pursuing in this world. whether the per-
son in pursuit be an editor or other
wise. 1t Is the truth that makes US
free. Let US. brother editors, scrape
away the veneering and get down to the
solid facts-get at the exact truth so
far as we may be able, and when we
have found the truth, let us declare It
honestly and fearlessly.
We congratulate our brother editors
OF the Virginia Press Association that
they have been permitted, through the
courtesy Of the seaboard Air Line, to
make this delightful trip to Florida, and
we feel sure they will profit by the in
teresting experiences they have had.
We also feel gratified to the news
paper men of Florida and to the peo-
pie generally of The State for giving
the Virginians such hospitable enter
tainment.

that they might, II there were no law to

solemn pledge that I will to the very last
stand by the law OF tho State which for.

There my friend" said Mr.. Lincoln,
you hnve briefly what have upon for
MGR occasions said upon this subject, to
which this newspaper, to the extent Of
It's ability, has drawn public attention.
In 1t YOU not only observe the probability
that In that contest did not az asy

frage, but the absolute proof that twice
once substantially and onco cxl,ressl.-,
I declared against It. Having shn.n you

ment on that newspaper article. 1t 10
this: That I presume the tditor OF that
paper is an honest. truth-lo,,n ing man,
and that will be greatly Obliged to Lin
for furnishing mo thus an ea.'ly oi:ptr-
tunity to correct the MISREPRESENTATION
he has made before 1t has run So long
that malicious people can call him a
liar.'
We think that these views of Mr.. Lira
coin will be news to most If our eadcrs!s
Afer the Union forces had overrun
louisiana in 1864. and q military gov
eminent had been set up aud some efforts
were being mado to reconstruct tho
State. Mr.. Lincoln's moderate views were
violently opposed by the extremists of the
Republican party in Congress. In COM
munlcating then with Governor Hahn,
Of Louisiana, on March 10, 1854. Mr.. Lin
coin used tho following expression.
Now 70 uare about to have conven-
ton which. among other things, will de-
fine the elective franchise, barely sug-
gest for your private consideration
whether some Of the colored people may
not be let mas, for instance, the very
intelligent but this Is only a sug-
gestlon. not to the public. but to you
alone"
1t should be recalled that In Louisiana
there had always been considerable body
of more or less educated colorcd people,
&" u
some Of whom, having been long free. had
acquired considerable property, and some
were themselves Shareholders. This will
also be news to some OF our readers, but
not only in Louisiana, but in South Caro-.
ma, and perhaps in other Southern
States, there We're free negroes that were
themselves owners of slaves. It was to
such class as this, no doubt, that Mr..
Lincoln was referring as having sufticient
Intelligence to have the right of suffrage.
we have never believed that Mr.. Lin
coin would have approved the universal
negro suffrage Of the reconstruction acts,
nor have we ever believed that he would
have been able. with all his power and
lnhunce, to avert catastrophe which
hatred and folly designed for visiting ven
geance upon the South.

SENATOR ST. GLARS EXPLA-
NATION.

Senator St. Clair explains that he op-
posed the confirmation Of Mr.. D. S. Pol
lock to be superintendent of public
schools in Pulaski because he had been
treated with discourtesy by the Board OF
Education. He insists that he did not
oppose Mr.. Pollock on political grounds,
and that his objection to confirmation was
purely personal matter between himself
and the Board
That is a matter which does not concern
The Times-Dispatch, and we have no in
terest In it. But the Senator adds
that he hopes tho nomination of Mr.. Pol
lock will not again be sent to tho Senate.
If So he intimates that 1t will again be
rejected.
But why? Is there anything against
Mr.. Pollock? Is he not nrst-rate man
for the place? Is he not qualified In mind
and morals and education to I'LL the posi-
ton acceptably? Is a man like this to be
made to suffer because of a personal
matter" between Senator st. Clair and
the Board Of Education? Does Senate
rial courtesy demand tho sacrifice OF an
innocent victim who had nothing to do
with this alleged dlscourtcsy And will
tho entire Senate stand by Mr.. St. Clair,
in that position?
Come. come. gentlemen, one and ALL

our code of etiquette, and then let JUS
tce be done to Mr.. Pollock. Don't make
a scapegoat Of him. Justice is a more
excellent thing than Senatorial dlscour-
tesy,"
We do not know Mr.. Pollock and have
no disposition to champion him as a
man. But we espouse his cause because
1t Is Just cause. and because the good
OF the public school system Is involved.
Senators may say that there Is no poll
tics In this Incident, but IT Mr., Pollock
