On Wednesday LAST BE House Of Re-
representatives. Of MAJ kuasttt. by nearly
! party vote. pa.ss bhbE calling Con-
vention to amend Z Consultation Of the
State. This seems ~ have been move
ment on the part of the Coalition majority
which was not asked for by the People
To their approval, however, the bill will
have to be submitted before it can be carrl-
ed into effect. The Boston Atlas remarks
that there is no more necessity for Con-
vention to amend the Constitution, even if
an exigency existed for amending it, than
there is for fifth wheel to a coach, as the
Constitution contains a provision authori-
zing the Legislature to amend it whenev-
err two-thirds of the House shall so decide

The EGALIrAIREs.-Under this name
French Colony is being organized in Taze-
well county. Va. The Winchester Virgil
man says:
"They are to the present age what the
Huguenots were to the Catholics in the
time of the Inquisition; what the Catholics
were to the Jewish hierarchy; what in
their turn the Jews were to the heather.
"Thc Egalitaries occupy themselves
with the practical alone. TheyPay, joint
ly and Individually, attention to the useful
sciences-such as Medicine, Philosophy,
Mathematics. History. Physics and Chem
istry. Their colony will embrace not less
than three thousand families in year
After paying all expenses. they will add to
the productive circulation not less than
s97 100000 per year.
"The Egalitaries support no useless pro-
fession. Their products are in common;
their expenses are in common; they live in
common. Their fundamental principle
is equality in labor and in income. They
now desire loan of 100000, divided in
to 10000 shares. Each share of S will
realize return Of over 81 $50 between
1853 and 1885,"

The SENTIMENT OF DASv1LLE.-We
have conversed freely with several gentle
men, whose long residence in this place
qualities them for forming correct estimates
ofthe popular will. These gentlemen are
convinced, that hepeople never entertain
ed more confidence in the completion ofthe
Danville road, or higher ideas of its utility
than at present. 1t is believed, that there
is strong disposition to increase the town
subscription when other sections, equally
interested in the roads completion, shall
have contributed their quotas. The spirit
of the Henry meeting has spread among
our citizens with rapidity, and is destined,
we hope, to exert a salutary influence up
on all of the friends ofour great improve
ment-DQn, Reg.

Truth, yet n Wrong.

There goes virtuous and honest man.
Who cares! Nobody looks at him, or cares
fig how he dresses or what he says.
Here passes man of wealth. The lady
and all her children run to the window.
"Where?" 'Who!'-How does he dress!'
He is great object Of attraction.
How the world did he make so much!'
He doesn't look as if he was worth pen
ny.
This is the way of the world. Every
body gazes with admiration upon the rich,
while they turn away from virtuous power
ty.
Let man make ten thousand dollars
and he is gentleman, every inch of him.
Be poor and honest and no one knows
you. Men and women have heard Of such
a name as yours, and you may live at their
elbow, but they are not certain about it.
Reader, have you not thousand times
acted thus yourself! Ifso, pray stopit.

Amongst other decisions made by Judge Ed
monds and read by Judge King, was the fol-
lowing;
Edicn Forrest ads. Catherine ~ Forrest
injunction, so far as it restraints the defendant
from molesting his wife, is dissolved, because no
act Of molestation is shown, and no good ground
exists for experimenting any. 1t is also dis
solved, so far as it restraints the defendant from
disposing of his property because he has not
abandoned her without adequate support, and
there is no reason to apprehend that he will
dispose OF his property so as to avoid the juris-
diction Of the court But the injunction is
retained so far as it restraints the defendant
from proceeding in his suit in Pennsylvania,
because the defendant has not legally changed
bis residence from this State to that, and has
no right, while both parties are legally in this
State, to subject his wife to a foreign jurisdic-
ton for the purpose of obtaining divorce.
This suit having been, however, improperly
commenced by a wife against her husband,
without suing by a next friend, the injunction
will be wholly dissolved unless she amend in
this respect within ten days.

TRIANGULAR CoNTEsT.-Two bachelor gentle
men of this city, who are known to be rivals,
recently applied to the same poet for verses to
the lady of their alteration, and each was ambi-
tious to be regarded by her as a poet himself.
The genuine poet is genuine wag, as his con-
duct shows and instead of writing two beauti-
full and appropriate poems, he duplicated one
perfectly captivating sonnet, and sent each as
pirant on his way rejoicing The copies were
copied on rose-tinted paper, placed in neat
envelopes, and sent to the fair one, who read
the first in admiration, and the second in dis
may. The wonderful coincidence was past her
guessing; and we are assured that, since learn
ing the cause of her perplexity, neither gentle
man has presented himself to make an explana-
ton, For the safety of the life and neck of the
waggish poet, or poetic wag we hope he will
not do as those who know him think he will
id est, step in and seize the prize for which the
rivals are contending!

REPORTED TROUBLES IN NICARAGUA.

NEW YORK, April -, 1881.
James Gordon Bennett, esq, editor Of the Herald
SIR | have been very anxiously inquired of
by persons having friends in Nicaragua, con-
corning the probable truth of the rumor copied
in the Herald of this morning, from the New
Orleans Picayane, in which it is said that a
number of our citizens resident in that country
have been killed, and the remainder driven out,
in consequence of hostility among the natives,
instigated by English agents. l am convinced
that the rumor is not well founded 1t bears on
its face an air of improbability. The feeling of
the government and people of Nicaragua to-
wards our citizens has always been of the most
friendly character; nowhere in the world have
they been more kindly or Hospitality received.
No doubt the confidence of Nicaragua in our
Government has been very much shaken by the
sudden reversal of Gen. Taylor's policy there
| know the deepest feeling of disappointment
pervades all classes, for they have relied i'm
plcitly upon the good faith of the United States,
and upon its support in their unequal contest
with Great Britain. 1t is a question whether
their confidence can ever be fully regained But
you may rest assured that the shortcomings of
the Government of the United States will lead
to no change of conduct in respect to its citi-
zens under British or any other instigation.
The best guaranty of this is afforded by the fact
that during the entire existence of the contro-
versy with England, and even when open hos
tilities prevailed, and the feelings of the people
were wrought up to the highest pitch Of excite
ment, that even then the persons and property
of the English residents in the country were
religiously respected
1t is not to be doubted that English agents
are making the most of the fiunkeyism of our
Government, and will exert themselves to de-
stroy American influence altogether; the OPP
portunity is too favorable one to be neglected;
but it is not to be imagined that there are any
so wicked as to countenance overt acts of the
kind intimated in the paragraph from the Plea
yune.
AT the worst, this rumor can have no foun-
dation except in some attempt at robbery or
murder, by evil characters, such as are to be
found in every country. Indeed, one rumor
from New Orleans states that an attempt at rob-
berry was made, near little place of evil re-
pute, called Matearas, in which one American
was killed. This is not improbable; and, if
true, it is certain that the Government of Mica
ragua will neglect no means to bring the often
ders to justice. There is no officer in the State,
high or low, who would in any way counte-
nance an infraction Of the laws.
No alarm need be felt on the subject Of the
rumor, which will, am convinced, turn out to
be unfounded, or greatly exaggerated.
am, sir, very truly,
Your obedient servant

FROM HAVANA.

The Prometheus brings dates from Havana
to the 18th Of April The whole island of Cuba
was excited by reports of military expeditions
from the United States. An express having ar
rived at Havana from Mariel, place some forty
miles of, with information that a heavy cannon
aiding had been heard off that port, movements
Of troops commenced Immediately. Lopez's
name was in every body's mouth, and the eek
petition" was declared to be already within
ten miles Of the city. The excitement proceeded
from the capture Of n SLAYER, or one suspected
to be such, by n British cruiser; the slaves, it
is said, having been safely landed before she
was attacked.
A Havana letter of the 18th, in the New York
Express, says:
By the latest news from New Orleans, we are
informed that the embarkation of the Cuban
expedition will take place at New Orleans and
Galveston between the goth and 25th instant
The probability of an invasion is discussed freely
by all parties, and there are many who are fool
ish enough to believe that an immediate descent
is inevitable. Havana is in the greatest ex-
element from the Captain General down to
the cartmen; and although the island is so well
fortified and occupied with troops, the Span
iards look forward with fear and trembling to
the coming Of the Lopez expedition.
