The Tribune special says it is ascertained
that there is secret combination among the
rebel real estate owners of Richmond not to
sell to any Northern or Yankee purchaser.
This accounts for the fact that property there
is now held from 100 to 800 per cent. higher
than before the rebellion.

carnival is about over. The scores Of eminent

A strong pressure was brought to bear upon
President johnson for the pardon of Wilmer,
who has been sentenced to two years impris-
onment and ten thousand dollars fine, but he
utterly refused to interfere with the finding of
the court. On another occasion he is said to
have remarked that there had got TO be limit
to these executive interferences.

His application was strongly endorsed by
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal and it is al
so stated ia his behalf that he was very kind to
our Andersonville prisoners. A great many in
stances of hospitality to these patriots are now
coming to light, which, strange to say, were
never heard of before.
The Herald says that Generals Butler, Banks
and Heintzelman, neglecting to send in their
designations on or before the 18th inst, were

The Herald Richmond correspondent says
conference took place in that city on Thursday
last between Gov. Pierpont and the members
of the Virginia legislature. The subject under
consideration being proposition to extend
the right of suffrage beyond the limits i'm
posed by the Alexandria constitution, by which
all who have taken part in the rebellion are ex-
Guided from voting.
If Virginia is not represented in the next ses-
sion of Congress it will not be because Virgin
ians willing to fill seats in that body cannot be
found. Candidates are coming to light rap
idly, including some gentlemen who o short
time ago would have considered themselves
insulted by being called citizens of the United
States. 1t is even said that the late rebel Gov.
Extra Billy Smith, proposes to run for cleo
ton, if he can first get President johnson to
pardon him.
