A WORD TO coLORED MEN.

The colored men of Norfolk do not
stand in need ofsuch guides, philosophers
and friends, as Mister Peter Smoker
and Mister Calvin Pepper; and the soon.
err they abandon these self-deputed lead.
ers, the sooner they will be rid of mis-
chief-makers. Pepper tells his colored
brethren, that they are superior to the
whites; Snickertells them something
equally foolish; and some oftheunthink-
ing listeners cheer this trash. Ofcourse,
the sensible and shrewd among the color.
ed people-and there are plenty of them
laugh at the braying fools who uttel
this nonsense; but many well-meaning
poor fellows are carried away, and be-
come excited, and get into trouble
through the influence of such speeches as
those of Mister Peter Smoker and
Mister Calvin Pepper have been making
during the past week.
Now, we advise our colored friends to
keep away from Smoker andPeppes-
and such as they-do not give them q
cent of money for any purpose. If you
want advice upon any subject, go tomen
whom you know to be fair and honest
men; and they will serve, without
charge, much more faithfully than those
professional neutrality-suspicious. Pep
pery.Snicker school. Colored men,
keep away from them: they can do you
no good; they can do you much harm.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Row IN MAIN STREET-MAS SHoT-GREAT ExcITEMEyT.--
About half past nine o'clock Saturday night party Of
citizens who had been participating In the election and
drinking pretty freely went TO the saloon and restaurant
kept by G. Chcnoweth of Main and Church Streets
where Of the party during the day. informed
had had difficulty with the proprietors As they enter
3D. shot fired which took effect tho body of q
Young man named Robert Jacqueman an old resident
this city, who hos recently returned from the late Con-
ederate army The ball entered about inches below
the heart and no fell. The wounded conveyed
to place in the neighborhood and surgeon called 1t
is feared he will not recover though the doctor thought
it probable the ball had glanced instead of penetrating
any vital part in which he may get over It. The
shooting of this young greatly enraged his friends
and an attack made upon other persons in the house
and considerable fighting and greatdeal of excitement
aud noise created in the neghborhood The resau-
rant finally closed up but efforts were made to break
open the doors and of the windows was mashed in
and the contents of the window and house damaged to
considerable extent Several Of the police officers made
their appearance and the proprietor and servants

men and vecoored servants arrested up
The man who fired the shot which wounded young
Jacdueman however, escaped and has not yet been ar

late hour and all day yesterday parties were congegated
on the street hereabout discussing the merits of

nobody else was hurt
Since the above written we learn that young
named Edwards has been arrested suspicion Of having
shot acqueman but do not know what evidence there
is against him. Mr. Charles Chenoweth it seems, has fed,
cannot be found think he left in tho boat for
New York while Others think he is still in the city What
agency he had in tie shooting offers to suggest
and his absence may be caused by fears of personal vo
lence The whole affair grew out of an old grudge, and
caused by too much whskey on the brain. The ex'
element and talk about it continued all day yesterday

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

The special session of the Legislature OF
Virginia was brought to close. on Fri
day evening. We give the closing days
proceedings in full, ON our outer page.
The Senate, over which It. Gov. l.. G.
P. Cowper presides, wasaddressed by him
as follows:-
Our duties as Legislators arr at an end.
We have had most important session.
We have heenfew in numbers. We have
taken upon ourselves high duties and
important trusts. We have been sum-
moned by the Executive of the State, at
an extraordinary time to aid him, as he
in his message stated, in there-establish-
ment of civil government over dis
tracted State. Our labors have been har-
monious, and we have not shrunk from
our duty, nor turned from the difficult
path. We may claim the virtue, we
have sought to promote and re-affirm,
the best and highest interests of the
State. Fail we may; but-we cannot fail
in consciousness of having performed
our duty, unheeding the scofato our lilm-
bers. This is not an hour to detain you;
some will assemble here no more Others
Join withus again at the next session. To
The first and last my best wishes go with
you for your happiness and prosperity
through life. Our meeting has been
pleasant, and while have endeavored
to cultivate the highest respect of the
hour, have to humbly thank you for
your support and encouragement:
The Speaker Of the House, Mr. J. Madi-
son Downey, of Loudon county, made
the following parting speech:-
Gentlemen, l have no speech to make,
but l congratulate youvery much for the
manner in which you have ended the
term of service for which you were elect
ed. At the time of your election, it was
said that the halters were preparing for
your necks, and that jeff. Davis was
making the rope" Since that time we
have had two sessions, and have kept
Virginia out of the hands of the Adolf
tionists, who are now pitching at Andy
Johnson with red-hot poker, hoping to
influence him to adopt their radical
views. But / thank God, we are safe,
and though they may force negro suffrage
on other States withprovisional Govern
ments, they cannot pile itupon us. Gen.
tlemen, l wish you safe returnto your
homes"

COL. WIN. A. HOWARD.

This able officer and affable gentleman
is entitled to the thanks Of the people OF
Norfolk for the energetic manner in
which, on Saturday and the night sue
ceeding, he adopted and enforced meas
ures which at once put stop to the dis
graceful scenes that were fast verging on
riot and bloodshed. Had it not been fl I
the stupid indifference, or wilful blind
ness and neglect-or worse than these,
criminal stubborness, in refusing to
call upon the military for assistance-the
whole thing might have been prevented,
and the city savedfromthe discredit that
always attaches to such occurrences.
All honor, then, to Col. Howard, for the
promptness with which he did act when
he saw that action wasabsolutely neces-
sary, and to him we are indebted for our
restored tranquility.

The petition for pardon by rebels is
made directly to the President, who calls
to his aid the Attorney-General, through
whose hands all applications pass, and
thence the Secretary of State, where, in
case a pardon is granted, warrant is
issued, substantially as follows, and gen.
orally in the words of this form:
Whereas -, by taking part in the
late rebellion against the Government of
the United States, has made himself liza
BILE to heavy pains and penalties; and
whereas the circumstances Of his case
render him proper object of Executive
clemency: Now, therefore, be it known
that 1, Andrew johnson, President, do
hereby grant to the said -, a full par
don and amnesty for all offences by him
committed, arising from participation,
direct or implied, in the said rebellion,
conditioned as follows, viz: This pardon
to begin and take effect from the day on
which the said - shall take the oath
prescribed in the Proclamation of the
President, dated May 20, 1865, and to be
void and of no effect if the said -
shall hereafter at any time acquire any
roperty whatever in slaves, or make use
of slave labor.

we know of no one in this section,
says the Boston Post, who wishes to
make color the test of the right of suf-
frage. The same rule should be applied
to all, black, yellow, red and white.
The Massachusetts requirements are
considered wise, but these, it is thought,
should be liberalized enough to allow all
Federal soldiers who served faithfully
in the late war to vote. We do not he
lieve there is any disposition at the
North, East or West, to see the negroes
deprived of any rights the exercise Of
which would be advantageous to the
country or their own welfare. The on
Iy question is, what is best for black and
white? Let cool judgment decide, un.
Influenced by the heated defamation o
mere partisans who trade upon Fictitious
philanthropy, and whose regard for lib
erty consists in doing just as they pleas
and prescribing everybody who doesn'
yield to their behests.

The Richmond Times informs us that

The Richmond Times informs us that
the accounts from all parts of the State
represent that the growing crops never
gave greater promise. The wheat and
hay crops, in particular, are reported to
be unusually good, and the yield is ex-
pected to be greatly over the average. A
gentleman from Albemarle says the farm
ers there will make more wheat this
season than they have for many years.
We are glad to also heartha the negroes
are generally remaining at home work.
ing for their former masters. In some
parts of the country, remote, like Able
marie, from the seat of war, no change
can be observed in the relations between
master and slave, except that the negro,
who knows full well, and the master con-
cedes, that he is made free by the war,
and that henceforth he is to receive pay
for his work. The farmers are entirely
reconciled to this change, and upon some
plantations the work in the fields is pro.
gressingas quietly and smoothly as before
the war. In some cases again the negroes
have deserted their former masters in &
body, but many of them have since re-
turned, and the others have been forced
by hunger to go to work wherever they
| could get it. One of the Albemarle farm
ers isworking now twenty-five more ne
l gro hands than ever before.

THE MILLION DOLLAR HAN.

Gale, the author of an advertisement
offering reward for the assassination OF
the President arrived in Washington
Wednesday morning per steamer from
New Orleans, in custody of Capt. Me-
haffey, of the first United States Infan-
try, and is now imprisoned in the Old
Capitol. twill he recollected that some
time in January last, an advertisement
appeared in the Selma Ala. advertiser,
which was copied in the papers of the
North, headed lone million dollars want
ed to have peace by the 1st Of March,"
The advatiser proposed for the sum
named, to cause the lives of Abraham
Lincoln, VIM. H. Seward and Andrew
Johnson to be taken by the LIST of March
then ensuing, and offered himself to con-
tribute SO, 900 toward this patriotic pur-
pose. Gale is very intelligent man,
about 45 years of age, hair in part gray,
tall and athletic. He is a lawyer and
argues his case quite learnedly, takes ex-
ception in advance to his being brought
here for trial, inasmuch as the courts Of
this district can have no jurisdiction Of
his case. He says, admitting he caused
the advertisement to be published, he
has not committed any offence known
to the law, and, therefore, must be ac-
quilted, if tried at all but he does not
believe he will be tried, unless it is sought
to connect him with Booth in the assas-
,ination of Mr.. Lincoln. He proposes
to employ -as counsel, Hon. Reverdy
Johnson and James Il. Brady. His resi-
Jence is Cahawba, Ala, ten miles from
Selma. The following laughable and
Jack Sheppardish description of the mon
ster, appears in the Republican of this
evening: "Gale is tall, raw-boned in
dividual; coarse features, well bronzed
with the Southern climate; he is dressed
in light gray pants, butternut-colored
coat, over which is linen garment, and
wears a well-battercd black stove-pipe
hat. Gale appears to be about forty-five
years of age, and his gray hawk-like
eyes, with strongly-marked crow-feet in
their, corners, giving him the appearance
of shrewd, cold-blooded rascal"

THE EIEcTIoN-The contest Saturday for city off,
very spirited one but passed off very quietly
and good humor generally prevailed. There few
knockdowns at the various polls and parties had
their not handsome faces additionally ornamoned
their eyes blackened and Increased in size but moth
ing of serious nature occurred. The vote quite
large and all parties seemed to take deep interest in the
result One two obnoxious persons appeared at the
polls and being hooted, fear grew upon them and they
fed, pursued by crowd But fear lent them wing,
and the people disposed to laugh than Be
cry they not overtaken.
The result far known, the election of Thomas
C. Tabb Esq., by majority of AS votes He was called
the rvative candidate, and he is reliable man
and good Citizen will make splendid conservator of the
peace No idea could be formed OF the result with regard
to the balance of the candidates as the tickets were 80
split up that the successful parties cannot be an
inounced until the last ticket is counted We suppose
the votes will be all Tailed to-day and the anx-
cites of the orunates and the unortunates put to
