HOW THEY DO IX VIRGINIA.
The Southern Idea of the Negro Voter.
Eastern YmoixiA, Aug. 10. The
way things are conducted down here
would seem to a New Yorker rather
likely to retard than to advance
events. The boats and trains loave
when they get ready and stop when
they get tired. It was not very long
ago that a night train, run on a Vir
ginia schedule, was bumping along
leisurely at a ten-mile-an-hour gait,
when it came to an open switch. The
switchman was comfortably asleep in
( his little shanty, and tho brakeman
had to get out and wake him up.
ue people m me sleeper were rouseu
by tho following colloquy in the dead
of the night:
The brakeman ' Jake! Jake! get
up and set the switch. The train
can,t get past if yon don't set tho
awitch."
The switchman "Oh ah um
urn."
The switchman began to snore.
The brakeman (earnestly) "Do, for
tho Lord's sake, git up, Jake, and set
tho switch. I tell yon, there's a lot
of them durned industrious Yankees
on the train, and tho conductor says
thev'ro growhu' about every httlo
thing."
The switchman -"Yes ah um
um." (Turns over and continues to
snore.)
The brakeman(very anxious by this
lime, as windows on the train are
going up aud a few mild expletives
are wafted out on the night air)
"Jake, git tip and set the switch. I'd
set tho durned thing myself if I only
knew how.'
A voice "You infernal lazy rascal,
if you don't get up and set that
switch before I can get my trousers
on I'll come out there and blow your
blasted brains out." (Tho click of a
pistol is heard.)
The switchman (lazily creepiug out
of tho door) "Stranger, I don't be
lieve a word o that, lou're a .New
Yorker. 1 knowed it by your twang,
aud yon ain't a shootin' feller.
You're handier with your tongue than
your weepin', I reckon."
The switch being by this time in
process of arrangement everybody
subsides. Tho brakeman heaves a
sigh of relief, the switchman manages
at last to get the switch set, the train
rolls through and tho New Yorker
retires full of strange oaths, like the
gentleman in Shakespeare. On the
river steamboats people walk quietly
on board without any formality of a
ticket. After awhile a darkey comes
along ringing a big bell and bawling:
Gentlemen will please step up to
the captain's office and pay." There
is no coercion about it A tolerably
a3tute and plausible fellow could
travel forever in Virginia without
paying anything. Occasionally a dis
cussion arises as to whether a man
had p.iid his faro or not, but tho pass
enger's word is invariably taken.
Tho Virginians have a sublime confi
dence in human nature. Tho cabin
maid goes after the ladies and col
lects the fare from them.
ETIQUETTE IN VIRGINIA.
The Virginians loso a good deal of
that worthless commodity, time, in
the observance of the most remarka
blo code of etiquette ever invented.
It used to be, and in a measnre is
still, considered tho height of rude
ness for one person m driving to pass
another person on tho road. It will
bo seen at a glance the result of this
system. The slowest coach on the
road could keep all tho others behind
it; and it will also bo seen that
time and distance were relatively of
no importance, even now, when Vir
ginia has been hustled and jostled
along in that great movement called
progress, the people yet apologize
when they pass each other on the
road. It has also been alleged that- a
really high-bred Virginian never so
far forgets etiquette as to inquire of
a stranger where ho was from, be
cause the stranger might bo forcod
to acknowledge that he was from
some other state than Virginia, and
it was only charity to sparo him this
mortifying admission. It is a hotly
disputed point, and has been for tho
last two hundred years, whether a
guest spending the night with his
host should mako the movo to go to
bed, or whether the host should. The
opposite sides on this momentous
question were taken by two ancient
cavaliers in theso parts. At Eagle
Point the host always proposed to go
to bed, and at Warner Hall tho host
invariably waited for tho guest to ad
vance the proposition. One night it
came to a test Tho master of Eaglo
Point went over to "Warner Hall to
spend tho night Midnight came.
Both host and guest remained polite
ly oblivious of the flight of time.
One by one the family and other
guests dropped off. Still the two old
gentlemen sat up and conversed am
icably, and were evidently prepared
to die in tho last ditch for tho princi
ples of etiquette. The wholo night
passed. They replenished the Bro
and the candles, but nover alluded
to tho going-to-bed question. At day
light the next morning, when tho
darky came in to make the fire, there
sat the two old Trojans; .conversa
tion had never flagged, and they
were still hard at it It was one of
those rare tests which, satisfies both
parties, as each was never tired of
telling how he got the best of his ad
versary and forced him to sit up all
night rather than yield an iota of
principle. It would bo a mistake to
think that these harmless peculiari
ties keep tho Virginians from being
agreeable. On the contrary, they are
singularly courteous, considerate and
without angles. The strict attention
they pay to the small, sweet courte
sies of life is wonderfully quaint and
delightful after the hurry, the rush,
the economizing of politeness one
meets in the busy haunts of the
world. They are naturally intensely
prejudiced, but it does not affect their
personal kindness and amiability. A
Eepnblican, or a radical as he is
called here, is looked upon as politic
ally out of the pale of salvation; but
personally he i3 treated with a gener
al friendliness that quite reconciles
him. It is a sonrco of common and
bitter complaint among tho north
ern settlers here that if they show
anr interest in politics or attempt to
carry their Eepnblican principles in
to action it is charged against them
as a crime. It is also undeniably
true that a Republican, no matter
what his personal character might be
was for many years after the war co
cially ostracis&d. But in this as in
many other cases a misconception
was at the root of. the trouble.
TnE NEGRO VOTERS.
The talk about the necro voters
being kept away from the polls by
force is all bosh and would never
be advanced by any press or people
understanding southern affairs. The
sontherneris a natural-born politi
cian, trained to it for long genera
tions. Tho south always had an enor
mous and disproportionate influence
in national politics. It was surpassed
by New England in wealth and popu
lation almost before this century was
begun, and when the giant west came
to the front it would seem that it was
completely overshadowed. But by
straining every nerve toward politics,
by putting its best men into public
life, by pressing into the service of
politics overy young man of promise,
by making able political managers of
its women and almost its children,
the south continued to maintain its
supremacy until the war. It is not
likely that such a peoplo could not
outwit the lately enfranchised, newly-
hedged negroes. It was infinitely
easier to outwit them than to shoot
them, as a part of tho Republican
press believes or pretends to believe.
Just observe how easy it was, aided
as it came to-be by the shortsighted
ness of the white Republican leaders
who came from the north to direct
matters they knew nothing about
Tno white men would devise an elab
orate nnd complicated method of
voting. DealtMLtkemaelves with the
irttelligenfr-and practisetTvbtors, will
ing to give their time freely to drill
ing them, they could easily get every
Democratic, voter in tho precinct
out, fully acquainted with what was
required of him, and with a contin
gent of tho best men among tho Dem
ocrats at tho polls early and late to
seo that every vote was properly cast
and recorded. Tho negroes, confus
ed, uuablo to get information as to
how their votes were to be cast, with
half a dozen designing whito men,
each intriguing against tho other for
the negro vole, might, indeed, come
to tho polls, but with their leaders
fighting each other, and each ono
with his own personal irons in the
fire, they could make but little im
pression, on the solid phalanx of
Democratic votes. Half tho negro
votes could be legally thrown out,
and surely, supposing the sonthorn
men to bo a bloodthirsty as their ene
mies represent them whioh is a vile
slander that was easier than shoot
ing and intimidation. Thou the
Democrats always managed to have
a capitation tax which they cheerfully
paid. The whito Republicans, with
shortsighted selfishness, monopolized
the offices. Tho negroes were left
entirely out They wero practically
ineligiblo to offices requiring bond
and security, nor could they fill those
requiring education nnd bnsiness
qualifications, so it will bo seen that
thero wero but few for them, and
theso few were divided up among the
whito spoilsmen. To the negro,
therefore, this proposition was pre
sentedho was to pay a dollar for
tho privilege of voting for a man
whom ho neither knew nor cared any
thing about, and who was perfectly
sure never to do anything for the
negro. Therefore, the negro stayed
at home, and it cost tho Republicans
more trouble to got him to tho polls
than it did tho Democrats to keep
him away.
Politics aro ugly everywhere. It
sounds ugly in a free country to say
it is right that a certain part of any
community should bo disfranchised,
but tho assertion is freely made that
to any one who knows anything
about the south it would be tho most
frightful calamity that could be im
agined to have it controlled by the
concrete ignorance of tho negro of
tho negro vote, nnd the southern peo
ple are justified in keeping it at bay.
Let it be distinctly understood that
at tho south the negro, in his person
and his property, is as safe as tho
white man. Bnt his social and polit
ical rights are under the heel of the
wealth and tho intelligence of the
country, and who, knowing anything,
understanding anything, of tho two
races, dare say it is not best ?
"What can't be' cured must be en
dured, is a saying fit only for Mahom
medans, who believe in fate. No mat
ter how bad a cough may bo, it need
not be endured now that Red Star
Cough Cure has been discovered.
