RICHMOND WIG, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL A. 1865

GoIyG TO WoRx.-We saw yesterday several cit-
zens who two weeks ago, were worth their hundred
thousand dollars quietly seated among the ruins of
their places of business, coat of, engaged in
knocking mortar from the bricks and piling them
up preparatory to rebuilding They were not quite
subdued nor subiugated by fate, and speak hope
fully Of their future prospects, If the Union cou Id
only be saved from the general wreck.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast

TIE PROTECTION OF FRUIT in the suburbs until it
comes to maturity at least, is just as important to
the military authorities it is to the people of the
city aud the growers themse Ives. There are many
fine peach orchards and berry groves within few
miles Of Richmond, and few weeks viii fill the
markets with the latter if they can be protected
from the bands OF unauthorized soldiers who roam
about the country without any regard to the waste
they may create.

SEaESADE.-W cdnesday uight, the Wing Office
was compImented by serenade from the band of
the Fifth Pennsylvania cavalry, S. Arbogast band
master. The band, which consists Of sixteen per-
formers, are supplied with very superior instru.
meats and they certainly showed great proficiency
in the use Of them. The band performed a number
of popular airs with great ecla, and at the cOncu-
sion partook OF the limited hospitalites of the Of
fee.
Music is one of the prevailing sentiments OF the
Union army, whereas bands became almost extinct
in the Confederate service nearly two years ago.
The flourish and decay of the sentiment Of music
in the armies of the Union and the armies Of the
Rebellion illustrates the philosophy Of the great
poet who wrote
" The man who hath no music in his soul,
Who is not moved by concord ofsweet sounds,
Is fit for treason, stratagem and spoils.
Let no such man be trusted"
Treason and hatred of the patriotic airs Of the
land go hand in hand.

COOP RlDoAScE.-Richmond has been an infinite
gamer in respect by the change in its military
rule. We allude to that crowd of lazzaroni who
basked in the sunshine of official favor-oicials by
day and "tuncks" by night, who never did any
thing, but who always exhibited plenty Of Confed-
crate money. These official poodles and lap-dogs
follow ed the fortunes of their masters from Rich
mond, and having attempted the destruction OF
the city, they have no more part nor lot in its well
fare nor right to return. Their room is better
tlan their company.

THE NEW JERSEY SENATOR.
SHIP.

We have received q pamphlet containing
the reasons why the election of Senator in
New Jersey was improper and illegal, with
the protest Of members Of the New Jersey
Senate and House of Representatives against
the admission Of the person receiving his ere
dentials to that position. When our columns
are less crowded we may furnish the paper in
full.
The gist of tho matter is this: against all
usage of the State of New Jersey, as we'll as
every other State, the person referred to was
chosen by plurality. The rule was adopted
in joint convention, without precedent to
sanction it, and in direct violation of the
statute law of the State, which declares that
all laws shall receive q majority of votes of
either branch. In joint assembly they passed
this revolutionary rule without n majority of
either branch of the Legislature.
The canvass in New Jersey last fall e1-
pressed the disapprObation of the people of
the State Of this unjust political trickery.
As the Senate is essentially a conservative
body, constituted to uphold the stability of
Government, it will hardly establish the dan
gerOus example of minority representation
The right Of Mr.. SrocKToS's admission is
without foundation, and his chance, We ap-
prehend, is very slight indeed.

A meeting has been held in New Orleans
of the disbanded members of the first and
second regiments of Native Guards. The
object of the meeting was to form an asso-
citation for purposes of mutual improvement
and relief, and o provide for the education
of their children. To this end they propose
to build hall. They were addressed by Mr..
J. r. BAYLOR and J. A. CRAIG, colored, and
W. R. CRANE, Esq, white, after which they
organized their association for which they
have adopted the title of Butler Club of
New Orleans"
The proceedings are reported in full in the
New Orleans Tribune, but at the same time
some other papers characterize the meeting
as secret, and the movement to be n negro
conspiracy for entirely different purposes.
So uniform and baseless was the version Of
these misrepresentation, that the TrrJuRe
attributes their origin to "Governor" WELLS,
who was, on previous occasion, detected as
the author of the slander that the voters at
the voluntary polls at which Judge WARMoTH
was returned were required to pay dollar
each.
