The Republicans of Virginia ari- j again giving Mie Readjust era trouble by proposing lo imi a negro for Congress man ut large. They claim that as the negroes compose nine tenths <<f tbc lb: publican vote of the State, that their race is entitled to this distinction. VVe think the negroes arc right. Tin ro i- no good sense in their voting solidly the Republican ticket, ami always < lecting white Republicans or Rcadju.-ters. They could get as good a showing that by voting the Democratic ticket. The ne groes are right. II they art: determined to bold up the Republican parly forever they ?night t<. make that party give them a good share of the oflices, Tbc Repub licans could not hold power for a single election if the negro vote North and South did not rally almost solidly to their support, and yet they give the ne gro almost nothing in the way ofoflicc.*. lie is a good fellow to do the voting, but then some rascally white Republican is ? :o much better to do the oflicc holding. It will hi- creditable to the perception of tin? negro when ho realizes that bo keeps the Republican parly alive, and forces that party to give bis race a proper ( ijuiv alent in offices for the voting which they do. It' they would act together they could force the Republicans to share everything, from the Cabinet oilices down, with their race. The Republican party would kick at it of course, but then if they love the negro so immensely, it ought t<? afford them pleasure to testify theii appreciation by giving him some of the oilices. The demand fur recogni tion by the negroes is embarrassing to the Republicans, but it is fair, and they ought to grant it, or quit everlastingly protesting their love and regard for him. Ah it stands now, they bold tbc negro ns good a fellow to vole, but a bad fellow to bold oflicc, and to carry out this theory Ibey spend the campaign months in promising him office*, and after the elec tion in over they devote the remainder ni tbc two years to lying out of those proni' iscH. It is creditable to the negro that he is beginning to ml this out, ami if I be acts wisely be will make- the Republi cans either put up the offices promised, or shut up the false promises so glibly made. Kitber born of the dilemma, however, would be disastrous to tbc party. Let the music proceed- it is no funeral of the Democracy. CONUUESSIONAl, I) Mi UNIFICATION. The position of u member of Congress was. formerly a dignified and honorable post of public duty, and should always be such, but the Republican party, in its greed for power and for private fortunes, is fast lowering the public estimation of our Congressmen. legislative body in which a Kellogg can retain scat in the Senate unmolested, when it is generally conceded bo lias conspired with others to largely defraud the Government be pre tends to serve, and in which so notorious ?i public plunderer as Robcaon, so vulgar und obscene a speaker as Uutterwortb, an ex-convicted bribe taker like Smalls, and a man charged with forging portions of the evidence on which be was admit cd like Mnckoy, can bold scats in the House of Representatives, cannot expect much cither of public respect or honor. It is a great misfortuno for u country to lose confidence in the purity and integ rity of its law-makers, und when .1 coun try perceives that the drift of a political party is to debase the character of tho law-making representatives for partisan advancement, it becomes the highest duty of the citizen, regardless of party, to assert hie self-respect, his patriotism and his personal integrity by assisting to the extent of bis influence and his voto to hurl such a party from power. When this individual integrity is not strong cough to so assert itself, there can be no mistake thnt tho future of the coun try is not cucournging. It is better for a country like ours that either its Execu tive or its Judicial department should be corrupt than that its Legislative depart ment should be so, for if tho Kxecutivo or the Judiciary is corrupt the Legisla tive can correct it by impeachment, while there is practically no remedy for corrupt legislation. Corrupt laws exert their influence all over tho country and leave their impress upon the futuro, so that a people cannot be too particular or exacting in the selec tion of their law-makers ; and thoso po litical parties which show a disregard of this most sacred trust by assisting pol luted men to obtain seats in our legisla tive bodies, and show themselves to bo reckless of tho consequences of ho lowor ing the iutegrity of tho law-making body as to bo willing to take among them men like Smalls, Mackey, Robcson, et id omne genus, should be swept forever from the control of our government. We have confidence enough in the American peo ple?although we know they are largely blinded by partisan strife and misrepre sentation al present?to believe that tho day is not far distant when tho party that baldly perpetrates such enormities upon tho people as to degrade and debase tbo legislative body of tho government will, ere long, be driven into oblivion. Even now the storm of public indignation is gathering, and wo have an abiding con. fidence that its strength this year will be sufficient to turn the majority of the present House of Representatives into a minority, and give the next House into the control of the Democracy. There should be some check to the brazen dis regard of all that is puro or honorable or estimable which has characterized Re publican rule. in his gift to tho University of Georgia, Senator Brown has provided for the be otowracut of a scholarship in the Agri cultural College on a student to be selected from tho counties of Anderson, Cameo and Fickens in South GYrolion, thereby remembering the county of his nativity?Pickens?and tho county in which the first money was loaned him to procure an education?Anderson. This sentiment does credit to the heart and memory of the distinguished Senator, I mi: ?. oki.? v co M u.VTiON. One of lie most interesting ami im portunt Conventions ever liciti by the I ?emoerats of Georgia for the nomination of State oilicers con veneti in Atlanta last week. Tbe two prominent points of in terest weit the Gubernatorial nomina tion, which was contested by Hon. Alex ander II. Stephens ami Hon. A. <>. Ilncon, Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, and the question of changing tbc rules of the party in Georgia so as to allow nomination- to be made by a majority of a convention in stead of requiring a two-thirds vote to nominate. Upon he (ir-t point, it was ivei! understood aftei the primary meet ings in ( ?eorghi that nothing but the two thirds rule could defeat Mr. Stephens, ?ir, be bad marly two third* of thcdelegates b eted instructed by tin ir constituents to vote lor him, and it was likely to be a very close vole if the bid rub- was ud? lie'red to, so that the light resolved i!-* ':t' int'* the all-absorbing ijui -lion of amend ing the rule-. It will lit; remembered that two years ago the Con volition adop ted (he two-thirds rule, and that under its operations no nomination for Gov ernor was made -Gov. Coiquitl getting largely more than half, but not quite two-third- of the Convention ; and, both faction-* rofti-ing compromiso, two men, Gov. Cohjuilt and ex-Senator Norwood, ran for Governor as Democrats. The trouble of the Jnst election brought the malti r home to the people, and it was thoroughly discussed all over the State, so that in the late Convention the rule was changed so as only to require a ma jority vote to nominate. The vote on changing the rule blood: ayes, 1 -1-5; nays, IG I l-G. Nominations for Governor were then made uid it being generally known that Mr. Stephens was safe, Mr. Bacon with drew his name from tho race and Mr. Stephens was nominated by an almost unanimous vote, which stood : Stephens, " Jo ; blank and scattering, 3?I. Tbe following Slate officers were next nominated : Secretary of State ?1 Ion. N. ('. Har riett, of lialdwhi. Comptroller-General- Hon. William A. Wright, of Richmond. Treasurer Hon. ). N. Speer, >f Troup. Attorney-General ?Hon. Clifford Am dcrson, of Bibb. Tbe next point of interest was the nomination of Congressman at Large, which resulted as follows: Thomas Hardemati, of Bibb, '217'.; George T. l?ame-, of Hic binomi, 77 ; |T. . Carlton, 471; Win. il. Dabney, IO. The nomi nation oft Ol. Ilardeman was made tiiiUii imous, um] a strong platform of priti ciples udopted. Tbo Convention was harmonious, and its action will bo rati fied by the people of Georgia most over whelmingly. There will be no Indepen dents and no Holters in that State. The organized Democracy is better solidified and united to day than it has been -ince the war. .Mr. Stephens with this term I as Governor will close his eventful and useful public rcer. It is an honor well merited, and most opportunely be stowed. Among the many important questions that will be brought before the approach ing Slato Convention, there is perhaps none worthy of more careful considera tion than the proposer! amendment of the Constitution relative to the basis of representation in future Convention^! and the mode of nominating Congressmen. Tho present basis of representation is in proportion to the whole population of the separate, counties, while the fair and just way, we think, nbould be in propor tion to the Democratic vote cast. As the representation stands now, Beaufort County, which polls only about live hun dred Democratic voles, has eight dele gates in the State Convention, while Anderson County, which polls over :',;"i0() Democratic votes, only has ten delegates, whereas the proper portion should be Anderson seven delegates to overy ono delegate from Beaufort. Wc have to do seven eighths of the Democratic voting done in the two counties, nnd it is fuir that WC should have seven-eighths of the delegates in the Convention. This amendment will be earnestly pressed, and ought to prevail. Another desira ble change, wo think, would bo the nom ination of Congressmen by a primary clectioq. This would bring our people into a closer personal relation to federal politics, nnd would bring tbo Congress men closer to tho people. They would have to go into ovory part of their dis trict, and would necessarily become ac quainted with tbo wishes and tho needs of their constituents in a more thorough manner than thoy do, or can do under tho present system. In our opinion this chango would greatly strengthen tho Democratic party, and give us ablo aud popul... representatives in Congress. It is said that the Speaker of the pres ent House of Representatives, Gen. Kcifer, is having a hot contest for the renomination to Congress from his dis trict in Ohio. The trouble seems to be that the colored voters, v.-ho hold tbe balance of power, are dissatisfied with him, because he has given tho negro very little show in his appointments as Speaker. It is, of course, expected that ho will overcome this difficulty, for it is au unheard-of-thing for tho Speaker of tho House to be beaten in bis own party. Tho whole forces of the administration will be thrown in his favor, aud it is pretty certain to control the nomination. After he gets that, tho colored vote is, of course, expected to come up as usual in the general election to save "tho party" from defeat t Tbc Republican idea of tho negro is, that he is a good animal to do as much of the voting as possible, and that he should be paid by the be _?_? .i> sr_._e_-<n_ _?M BlUnUICUl IM JUOI? ?3 IC" U11IV?.O <W> UU vnu bo made to put up with. Mr. Keifer is by wok. a great friend of tho negro, but by practice be, like tho balance of the Republicans, prefers a whito mau whon it comes to parcelliug out tho offices. If tho Oh'o negroes havo any self-respect, they will defeat Keifer this fall, even if they bave to elect a Democrat to accom plish it. The Atlauta Constitution announces that "Shorter College receives a large benefaction, as was to have been expect ed, from tbo cs'atc of the late Co!onel Alfred Shortsr, of Rome. A cash le qui - of ?fyOOO i-< iliade, unii ?40,0?Q i? sticks eii'l bou il ~ ; tbc larger -.im to be used ax an endowment fund for reducing tuition ami helping poor htudcnt*. Tide amount, with the (.'liarles McDonald Brown fund, makes very nearly ? 100,000 given within a few days to help educa tion in Georgia." The Conititution says, further: ' The example- are good ones for charitably disposed rich nu n lo imi tale. The more good colleges we have, and good schools, the more nal wealth, capital, prosperity and culture will be added to our Slate Im maki- it still more pM.minent in tlx- South than it is now." The people ol Georgia, developing all of tin- gran-1 resourcei of their great State, me determined to build ber educational institution? up ? a level with the best I ' rsiiies of tiiis country. They hiiow the power ol knowledge, and art: de termined that tiit ir State diali not lag behind in the dev. lopmeiil of this great faetoi in human inlliience and progress. t n. Clingunui, who has been dis plea'.ed with t ! : ?? Democrats of North Carolina ever since they preferred !" inak? Matt. Uaimom l.'nited Slates Sen ator, and ban been leading an oll-horne in politics, now claims that the obi North Sitile will go for tin- Independents thin year by 50,000 majori y. Stranger things 1: .ve happened than tili-, and be may be correct in bis prediction, bui for the sake of the people of North Carolina we trini that bitter thing- await them. There is no doubt, that the prohibition light there la-t year has somewhat weak ened the Democracy, but wo scarcely think it lias done .?o to the extent of pre paring the people of that Slate to fly to unknown political gods for deliverance. The prohibition light is over, and we take it that a majority of the people of the Statt: will have good sense enough to perceive that there is no reason to lug it into the politica of ibis year, and that by so doing they will imperil the pros perity and good government of their State. If they do not perceive ibis, it will only be the worse for North Caroli na. They bad better let Gen. Ulingman and bis hungry oflieo hunters severely alone. The Id?mocratie parly can thank Mr. Hardctihergh, of New Jersey, for the seating of the ex-Penitentiary convict? the hurley Smalls?in Congress. He is a Democrat, and voted on the ipieslion of u quorum, which enabled the Repub licans to take up the case. All the other Democrats refused to vole. This should be remembered by bis constituents. It was treason to bis party, and that trea son was committed to nable the Repub licans to unseat a Democratic gentleman, to make room for a Republican ex-con vict. These men who cannot sfiorii to act with their party on such questions ought to quit it, and avow themselves Republicans, or Independents. They arc tbc worst enemies to the Democracy, for pretending to be in the fold they use their position to censure the parly in the hope of obtaining some personal advan tage by their weak-kneed treachery. The Star Route trials drag their farsi cal length along, and the alleged thieves aro exultant in their assurance that no harm is to befall them. Too many im portant personages in the Republican party are implicateli in this thievery to permit the conviction of any of tbc gang. The integrity of the Republican party requires that no break shall bi made with these thieves, for should one occur, it is reasonably sure that the truth of the oh' adage, that when thieves fall out honest men get their due, would be strikingly displayed. Enough ul the prominent Republicans would be in volved to decimate the party leaders, thereby filling the National penitentia ries and sending the party in disgrace from power. The party of great moral ideas cannot afford such a thing, and hence no convictions may be expected in theso cases. Senator Kellogg is rejoicing over the fact that the Grand Jury in the Star Route cases did not lind true bill against him. Public opinion, however, is fast renching the conclusion that ho ought not only to have a true bill found against him, but be ought to be punished as a criminal for his complicity in these frauds. It is said that he has escaped by threatening to turn the Senate over to the Democrat* if he is not protected by the administration. His conspicuous position induces,many independent pa pers to criticiso tho Republican parly, and nmong them tho Springfield Jiepub tiran expresses the opinion that Kellogg and Robeson are carrying their party to political perdition, which means to per manent defeat and destruction. A correspondent of the Newt and Cou rier nominates Col. B. \V. Edwards, of Darlington, for Governor, r.nd bases his suggestion upon the fact that there is an evident desire upon tho part of many persons to bring a now candidnto in tho field. This correspondent says that Col. Edwards is a graduate of the South Car olina College, and of tho Harvard Uni versity Sebo ? of Law. Ho is one of do leading lawyers in the State, and is a man of varied culture and attainments. His nomination and election would give to the State an able and thoroughly con scicntious executive. Tho Indianapolis Sentinel calls atten tion to tho fact that one J. Warren Keifer, who, by the grace of the Repub lican pai ty und the help of the Green back vote, disgraces this country by ait ting in the Speaker's chair in the House of Representatives, charged among his expenses in attending the Garfield funeral the sum of five cents for having his brognns shincd. Tho Sentinel says it is about timo that Keifer was packing his grip sack for tho purpose of "going to see tho Lordy." One of tho Northern papers has dubbed the Republican party of to day, which is the creature of Guitteau's bullet, "The going to tho Lordy party," which is not an inapt description of the parly as as sociated with ibi insanely villainous crea tor. This name will stick. Ad tho sc&sion of the Stato Convention approaches the uncertainty as to who is to re?oive the Gubernatorial nomination increase i'., and heneo the interest on' this point absorbs the consideration of all the other positions on the State ticket. 'l'iie Republican papers are howling about Mir election law, which they do clare disfranchises, thousand* of negroes, This in not true, and is only the creature of their ignorant imaginations, or of their wilful prevarication ; but if it were true why do they pity the negro so much as to look after his suffrage while they foigi t the forty thou-aud white men di-* franchise*! by the laws of Rhode I-!u:.d, and the large number deprived of the right to vote in Vermont? In the estimation of Republican pa per-, it ?4 great crime for South Caro lina to parv, election law? v.bien keep on the 'windy side of the law," but it i- all right for Vermont, bode Island and Massachusetts to do so.

From the outset the proceedings to-day were interesting, although the palm of humor wits awarded to Mr, llorr. of Michigan, wdio enjoyed himself ami amused the spectators with bis caustic jilies at tho Ilemoci atic contest?e. The strongest point was exhibiting a. map in which the rodist riet lug of South Carolina was sot out, and in a disputo between himself and Mr. Alberton, of Ohio, be referred to the gerrymandering of certain portions of the ISuckeyc stai?) as being "as disgraceful us tho villainous systoni adopted in South Carolina." Mr. Horr extolled Ilio virtues of the Republican party at great length. When he c?li* clildod ho ant down, apparently well sat isfied with his effort, hut made to squirm visibly when Mr. Tlllman, speaking in his own behalf, ebarnetcri/.ed tho M fehl gander's actions as similar to tho antics of nlown in ? circus. what Mil.

This rnlher disconcerted the hu morist of Ihu Republican side, and waxed vory wroth at not being allowed a chanco to reply and was with difliculty pressed down in his seat. After paying his re spects to Mr. Horr, the South Carolina Representative stated confidently that ho would be returned to Congress aicain this Fall and by Stich a majority that no olio could set it aside, lie proceeded in a witty manner to show tho hardships a contestant mot with at Washington, and said he spoko from experience, having been through the mill twice. Ho was impartial in condemning the action of both sides in his case, and claimed, more over, that tho Democrats had deserted him when they wore in power in order to placato public .sentiment and put in Smalls. COMMOTION OVKlt Mil. CALKINS. Ho was listened to very attentively, and as ho poured hot shot Indiscriminate ly into the camps of tho two parlies bo was rewarded with generous mid contili* ed applause. It was stated openly about tho Capitol to-day that Chairman Calkins of the Election Committee, was opposed to the Hunting of Smalls, and considerable anxiety was manifested to see w hat his coursu would he in the inallor. When his name was reached on tho lirst roll call, relative to adopting the majority re port in favor of Smalls, Mr. Calkins did not vole. Instantly he was beset by his Republican associates, who urged and entreated 1dm to str.nd by tho party. When tho second call was niado Mr. Calkins, in a low lone, said, "aye," great ly to the delight of those around him. lint bombshell could hardly have cre ated moro havoc In tho Republican ranks than the ani-ounecmcnt by Mr. Calkins, boforo the result of the vote was stated, thut ho wished to chungo his voto. MU. CALKINS CHA SO Ks HIS YOTK. Speaker Keifcr, not relishing such u stato of alTiilrs, persisted in looking tho wrong way while Mr. Calkins was clam ori llg lor recognition. Finally tho latter, in thunder tonos, domandoli that tho Speaker should reeognizo him, and in a roiUCtant manner the Speaker awarded tho tloor to tho gentleman from Indiana, who was surrounded by his friends, anx iously entroniiog him to stick by his tlrst vote. "It is no uso appealing to me, gontlemon," replied Mr. Calkins," 1 cannot recoiicilo my couscienco to voto for Mr. Smalls, and I thoroforo dosiro my vote recorded with the negativo instead of tho affirmative." Tho oxcitemont fol lowing this announcement had scarcely subsided when Speaker Keifer stidod that, in culling the roll on tuo proposition declaring Mr. Till man not on ti tied to a seat tho Clerk had mudo u mistake in fooling up Ibo result, and that there woro only 145 votes, only ono loss t..un a quorum. This did not innko any differ oneo, however, for tho Speaker directed bis name to bo recorded in order to make a quorum, und mudo tho stuteuiont In or der to provont any futuro complications. t.X-SPBAKKR ? . .' OBJECTIONS. As another roll-call had intervened bo foro tho Speaker mndo this announce ment ox-Speakor Randall objected to such an arbitrary proceeding, Rtating that there was no pr?c?dent for such ac tion and that a quorum had not voted on the moasuro. The Speaker retorted with tho nssortion that Mr. Randall on two occasions had oxoreised tho samo privi lege. This was denied by tho Ponusj'l vania Representativo, wdio objoctod to being misquoted by the Speaker or any ono else. A tumult was at once inaugu rated, greatly to the edification of tho throng in tho galleries, and overy mem ber on both sides of tho ebainbor was on bis feet waving the books of rules and demanding i\ hoarinn. Speaker Kni<or, as usual, became angry, and In his f?rj7, whilo pounding on tho desk struck an inkstand with the gavel nnd shivered It, the contents being splashod over the pa pora on the desk and tho backs of tho roading clerks just below.
