Tlie Virginia Convention, .So-called,
With the vigorous aid of the Mayor and Po
lice of Petersburg, seems to have got through
with its labors, and we have the results by tele
gram, in a mixed ticket, divided between colors
and the war-like factions whose headquarters
date respectively from Alexandria and Ports
mouth. Wells, the head of the Alexandria fac
tion, secures the nomination for Governor,while
Bowden and Crane belong to the Portsmouth
clan. The noble army of Ethiopeans, who ore
to give the victory to the Sergeant's file of car-
pet-baggers are rewarded by the nomination for
Lieutenant-Governor. The liberal recommen
dation for the removal of disabilities coupled
with the declaration that none of the disfran
chised and disabled deserve any favor, and re
construction to be Simon Pure must be manipu
lated wholly by these creatures, is characteris
tic. Ye gods, what a sight is this in old Vir
ginia—the mother of States and Statesmen!
IHoro Snubbing.
A delegation of Missourian politicians, headed
by the German infidel Senator Schurz, tapped
at the White House door on the 7th. “Grant is
busy.” “We want to see him on important
business.” “If that is the case let them in.’’
“General, we have called to consult about Mis
souri.” “I have made up my mind as to most
of them. I haVe selected George W. Ford to be
Collector of Internal Revenue in St Louis; he
is a good man. There is Colonel A. R. Easton,
an old friend the mine, who helped me years ago,
in St Louis, to get of office of County Surveyor,
I intend to make him Assessor. As for the Post-
office, I have determined to make my old friend,
General A- R. Smith, Postmaster. They are all
good men. Yon can not object to them.” Dis
solving view—about face—chins elevated rever
entially— rago—disgust—petitions ten yards long
stuck into the first stove—oaths!
In Vino Vent**.
Senator Dick Yates, of Illinois, failed to get
sober the other day, and, in consequence, ut
tered more truth and sense than has of late of-
ten been beard in the Senate Chamber. They
were electing a Chaplain, and during the con
test, Yates said he conceded that the merits of
the Rev. Dr. Newman, as a political preacher,
were unsurpassed; but he thought it was time
to have a little leas politics and a little more re
ligion in the prayers. They had politics enough
in the Senate without putting them into the
prayers.
No Radical Senator could possibly have ut
tered so much truth and conservatism as that,
without the aid of a gallon of Monongahela.
Tax Cuban RavoLunoii.—Even the Spanish
accounts from Cuba now indicate, says the Sa
vannah News, that the revolution is gaining
ground. The Diaria of Havana, a fanatical
organ of the Spanish party, makes important
admissions. It reports a rapid increase of rev
olutionary forces at Mayrari in the Eastern,
and near Cienfuegos and PalmiUoa in the Cen
tral Department. It mentions another engage
ment near Santo Espiritu, which is not claimed
as a victory. It indicates that the whole of the
Sagua district is in tho hands of the Cubans,
and that all the Spanish planters have fonnd it
necessary to seek refnge in the towns. Another
dispatch speaks of a rapid increase of insurgents
near Remedioe. All this proves that the insur
rection is not supported merely by a few iso
lated bands, but that the people of Cuba are in
arms to achieve their independence.
Rexok or Blood in Cuba.—The Spanish proc
lamation of amnesty to the so-called Cuban
rebels expired on the 12th ultimo, and the tele
grams have already announced that all rebels
taken with arms in their hands are to be shot
An Havana correspondent of the Bichmond Dis
patch reports a conference between the “volun
teers” and the Captain-General, Dales, on the
22d ultimo, in which he promised that after this
prisoners taken with arms in their hands should
be promptly brought to trial and, if found guilty,
be shot within five days thereafter.
Fsellls Deseeiisns Avcrni.
The New York Express well says:
In great errors of State, as in crimes, t
'■first endure, then pity, then embrace.’*
Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward commenced by
declaring, first, that the Government could not
endure half slave and half free, and then, that
“nobody waa hurt,” and then, by tinkling that
“tittle hell” which consigned scores of men to
Forts Warren and Lafayette—then by “a Pope’s
Bull against the comet”—then by putting the
ballot into the hands of 750,000 debased ne
groes, fresh from slavery—then followed the
prostration of States and citixens of States—
then the giving negroes office and refusing the
ballot to tens of thousands of white men—then
came a reconstruction which put eleven States
under the ban. “ Either be Radical or cease to
be," was the command, and now comes the pro
posed amendment to the Constitution. Few
people have descended so rapidly, and few have
bad such ocular evidence of how easy it is
to raise the devil, and how difficult to keep down
his ghost. When shall we have peace in
earnest?
American - Cunusrs to English Estaizs.-In
a letter to the New Orleans Times, Hon. J. P.
Benjamin exposes tho frauds practiced by Eng
lish “shysters" in the matter of claims to Eng
lish estates, and says:
Host of the persons who are duped are igno
rant on two points which, in nearly every in
stance, would satisfy them at once of the ntter
folly of the hopes they indulge. The first is that
an alien cannot he an heir in England when there
is no will, and that he cannot take real estate
even if left to him by will. The second is that,
fn England, estates devolve upon the oldest son
alone, and on his eldest son in succession, and
are not divided in shares among all the children,
as in Louisiana end other States. Yet nothing
Is more common than for persons to assert heir
ship to the supposed shares of younger brothers
and sisters, or to claim, as natives of the United
States, heirship to Englishmen who had left no
wills.
Ths West Georgia Gazette.—The editor of
this sterling newspaper is in town on business.
We commend the Talbotton Gazette to our
citizens as one of the most sensible and sterling
papers in the State, and a fine organ of com
munication with tie people of West Georgia.
The coin revenue front customs at New York
during the last week reached nearly three-fourths
of a million a day; andfor all February showed
an increase of nearly two ana a half millions, as
compared with February last year.
The Lzoislatcdx.—Our special report of the
X^islati.ve proceedings on the loth Amendment
will be found on the fourth page, and includes
the Governor’s message.
Twektt-one murders were reported in the
State of Indiana in the course of ten days. The
State needs reconstruction.
E people of Georgia will be profoundly
pointed to leam that the Legislature pro-
: to hang on till the 18th.
The Legislature and tiw 15th Amend*
menL
The Genera! Assembly, on Thursday, were
terribly exercised over the Governor's message
and the 15th amendment They were evidently
ttung by the earcam which pervades the mes
sage, and balked by the legal assumptions of the
Governor in regard to the force and effect of the
proposed constitutional amendment
He says the guarantee of the right of suffrage
neceuartiy carries with it a guarantee of the
rigjht of holding office. Well, that has been a
point in dispute from the start, and we cannot
comprehend why the House should have been
surprised at the reiteration of his position by
tho Governor. - .. __
The Legislature has held the opposite theory,
and, for aught we know to the contrary, Gov.
Bullock may have held it The Constitutional
Convention ought fairly to be presumed to have
held it when in making the negro a voter they
Toted down a proposition extending to him the
right of holding office. We can explain this ac
tion of the Governor’s upon no other theory ad
mitting of personal consistency than that he con
sidered the provision guaranteeing the right to
held office to the negro in the nature of mere
turpluttage.
But if that waa the case with Gov. Bullock,
it was not the case with Ex-Gov. Brown and all
the other leading Radicals, who recommended
the support of the new Constitution to the peo
ple on the ground of its extraordinary conserva
tism—in that it made no provision for negro
office-holding and negroes were clearly ineligi
ble under it.
We say, then, whatever may be Gov. Bul
lock's opinion now—or whatever maybe the
sound view of the law governing tho ease—it is
an historical fact too clear for dispute that the
Constitutional Convention of Georgia did not
believe they had authorized the negroes to hold
Again: let us look for a moment at the action
of Congress itself, on this fifteenth amendment.
The two Houses disagreed upon this very point.
The amendment as passed by one of them had
the words “ and hold office” after the word
“vote”—thus distinctly empowering the negroes
to “vote and hold office. ”
Upon this, issue was taken between them,
and a committee of conference agreed that the
words, “and hold office,” should be dropped—
so that the fifteenth amendment should confer
only the right to vote. Now, without ventur
ing an opinion upon the soundness or nnsonnd-
ness of this legal assumption that the right to
vote coven and includes the right to hold office,
we might well ask—were the Senate and House
of Representatives at grave issue about nothing
at all ? Did they raise a conflict, a conference
and an adjustment upon a question which had
no existence and settle it by an amendment
which was no amendment? They must have
done so, if legally the right to vote includes the
right to hold office—or, they were disgracing
themselves by attempting to deceive and throw
dust in the eyes of the people.
Those, therefore, who deny the Governor's
law may well plead, in their own support, the
authority of the Constitutional Convention and
of Congress; but if the passage of this amend
ment will assert and Constitutionalize the right
of the negro to hold office, then the Governor
ought to explain the very apparent effort of his
message to defeat the amendment It seems
to us it would certainly accomplish all he asks
for, and ought to quiet the war of reconstruc
tion. Let the Governor explain why, upon his
hypothesis, he don't want the war over. Is he
not on Grant's platform—let ns have peace ?
But a good many Democrats in the Honse
and Senate are possessed with the idea that the
passage of the fifth amendment will be a satis
factory sop to the Congressional Cerberus, which
the Governor apparently does not want to see
pacified. They will vote for an amendment
which confers luffntge only upon the negro for
this purpose, and ks a return compliment to our
Northern brethren who have imposed it upon the
South. If they believed it conferred also the
right to hold offioe, they would not support it,
because it would simply be reversing their own
action excluding the “colored members.”
That appears to be the state of the caae, and
all we have to say is, that, were we members,
we should not vote for the amendment upon
any hypothesis. It lays the axe to the root of
the States as independent constituents of the
Federal Union.
The Cabinet Muddle.
It will be seen that half of Goners! Grant's
cabinet is gone already, and it is said a portion
of the remainder is to be changed. The neces
sity for a change grew out of the legal disability
of Mr. Stewart. Finding that considerable dif
ficulty would arise in Congress on the proposi
tion to suspend the law operating to disqualify
Mr. Stewart, the latter proposed, at first, to exe
cute a transfer of all profits in his business to
charitable purposes ; bnt the truth is, the pro
tectionists wanted no man whose interests lay
in commerce and free trade, at the bead of the
Treasury. Grant was forced at last to treat with
the politicians, and they insisted upon Bontwell
as Secretary of the Treasury.
To console New York for the loss of this posi
tion, Hr. Washbnrne, whose health was so fee
ble that he accepted the Department of the State
with reluetanee, gladly retired and took the
French mission, and then Hamilton Fish, of
New York, was made Secretary of State. Bnt
as the selection of Bontwell gives two leading
appointments to Massachusetts, a hint has been
sent to Judge Hoar to decline, which he is ex
pected to do, and some body else is to be made
Attorney General. The Tribune says, Judge
Pierrepoint of New York.
General Schofield who is said to be anxious to
get back to the army, has been succeeded, per
haps temporarily, as Secretary of War, by Gen.
Rawlins, General Grant’s late chief of staff.
Some of the newspapers say that Bontwell is
an original selection of Gen. Grant's, and was
tendered the post of Secretary of the Interior,
but declined it for the reason that he was un
acquainted with its requirements. Whether
♦bis be so or not, the role of independent cab
inet appointments has been brought to a sad
den and inglorious termination, and General
Grant finds bis cabinet virtually reconstructed
for him by the party within something less than
a week. His tactics are better in the field than
the Cabinet
The character and promise of the cabinet
have suffered a good deal by this change. Bout-
well is about as inexorable an exponent of “New
England ideas” as could be selected. As Chair
man of the House Judiciary and Reconstruction
Committees—leader of the Impeacheis—and
the most indefatigable and uncompromising ad
vocate of every extreme of rampant radicalism,
no cabinet counsellor could be looked upon in
♦bis section with greater distrust.
But, what promises much worse for the ad
ministration of Gen. Grant, Bontwell holds the
Treasury as the especial champion of both the
New England ultra protectionists and bondhold
ers the lords of the loom and the aristocracy of
bonded capital—and will support their exorbit
ant demands with both hands. I Enormous tariff
taxes for protection and exorbitant cash taxes
for bondholders—he strikes both ways—he sets
in motion, at one and the same time, the upper
and the nether millstons. It is a Treasury ap
pointment which will stir up the West jn a most
exemplary manner. .
The Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish, is an
ex-TJ. 6. Senator from New York—a man of
wealth, bnt of no particular force, and decidedly
the weakest incumbent of the State Department
who ever occupied that position. The politicians
have certainly not improved upon Grant’s hand-

Fire at Smltlavllle — Masonic Lodge
Destroyed.
From the Amerieue Tri- VTeeilr Courier.]
We'regret to leam that our Smithville friends
were aroused from their slumbers by the cry of
fire, on Monday night, a little after midnight;
and could only repair to tbe scene in time to
find the school-house, with tbe Masonic Lodge
above it, in one sheet of flame. The teacher in
charge of the school, says there was not the least
fire left in the building the previous evening;
and our informant stales that he passed the
house about oije o’clock—some half an hour or
more before the alarm given—and there
was no light or sign of fire. We heartily regret
the loss sustained by our masonic brethren, and
trust they may soon be able to erect a far more
j comely building.
