The Richmond Commercial Bulletin

This paper, it will be recollected, was Sup
pressed" by the military authorities Of Rich
mond, some ten days ago, because it presumed
to comment with some little freedom upon the
changed condition of things in Washington,
and especially upon the coarse and vulgar man
ners obtaining among visitors at the White
House, as depicted by one of the correspon-
dents of The Neaos The article containing
these comments give special umbrage, it seems,
to General Terry, and The Bulletin was &C
cordingly suppressed to use term avoid
ing much military circumlocution. DR.. Dim
try, one of the editors of the paper, was also
arrested and imprisoned, in consequence Of
the offensive article. But the editors and pro-
prietors of the paper were not disposed to ac-
cept the "exigencies of the situation" and ac-
cordingly pressed their claims for revision OF
the military order at headquarters, in Wash
ington. The result has been the prompt dis
charge OF DR.. Dimtry from custody, and the
turning over of The Bulletin Office to its pro-
prietors, who issued their paper again on Tues
day. Military interferences with newspapers
are getting TO be very short-lived.- -Ne,c Yors

DIsGRACEFUL CoNpUoT.-The 10th L. s.
Colored Troops passed through Petersburg
from the South yesterday. Many Of the
members were guilty of conduct which merited
severe punishment, and it is much to be re-
sretted that it could not be melted out to them
Some of them invaded private yards, using
obscene and insulting language, and interfere
Jag with such persons as they met A large
party, infamed by liquor, stalked backwards
and forwards through the Centre Market,
staggering, swearing, cursing-some Of them
carrying bricks and huge yocks in their hands,
in search, as they boldly avowed, of the id
police" We do not know where they cot
their liquor from, except that they stole som,
from Messrs. VIM. Falconer on Sycamore
street The scene obout the market and Vi
entity, was extremely disgusting, and until
driven off by guard, these drunken negroes
had their own way. They frightened COOL
many women and children away from the
market, and caused number of stores in the
vicinity to be closed up. They were also
guilty of bad conduct at Jarratt's hotel AMI
other places. Officers of regiments should be
held to strict accountability for the conduct
of their men, and the troops, when they are
guilty of such fragrant violations of the peace,
as were witnessed yesterday, should he
promptly punished.-Petersbsoy Express.

40 the agent Of Tie associated Press.
DEAR SIR Permit me through your ettici
ent and reliable agency to again onradict Ii:
report that President Juarez has left the terri
tory of the Mexican republic.
THE statement to that effect Of the CORES
pondent of the Philadelphia Press, published
in the papers here this morning, is pure am
unmitigated lalsehood, and only adds another
proof to the many we always have of the uit-
scrupulous character of the agents ofMaxim, .
ian, aud OF the means they employ to suppor;
their unholy cause.
II am in possession Of official dates from FL
Paso to the 9Th of September, five days lat 7
than the date of the letter Of the corresp2'.-
dent of The Philadelphia Press, and can ave
that not only has President Juarez no intcn-
ton of leaving The republic, but there is n
occasion for his doing so.
Il am sure SO respectable and intluentI'.l a
Journal as The Philadelphia Press cannot be
aware of the interested and utterly unreliable
character OF these reports, or it would rot
have given place to a correspondence at n,e
SO untrustworthy. and, for an American, 81
unpatriotic.
II am, Sir, very respectfully your obedicn'
servant, J. N. NAVARRO,

WENDELL Pn,LL Ps OH THE CoHsr,.
TUITION In speech of W endeIl Phillips,
before recent meeting Of the A bolition
Society, he used the following language:
"H's friend, Mr.. EJwditch, said he
had taken the oath to suppnrt the Con.
stitution. He would not take that
oath, not for his right hand Slavery
Was not expunged yet from the Consti.
tuition"
Had a Kehtuckian or Democrat
usei such strong language in defiance
ot the Constitution and Government,
he wcald be compelled to take the oath
t. support the Constitution, and an
other iron-clad oaths. Either the sus-
picion created by such q declaration
that the dec'arer is tisloysl ought not
to be rece!ved as sufficielt evidence to
require The administering Of an oath, or
Wendell Phillips sh"uld be required to
take it. IN our State, o citizen il re.
CURED to take an oath TO support the
G 'nstitation before he can recover any
claim on the G'vernmaent, yet. no doubt
If Wendell Phillips hold any such
claim, be would BE- promptly paid with

oath Or cutting of his right hand.-

Texan papers Of the 10th contain
amusing accounts ofsttempts to FIRE the
hearts Of the Texans. A meeting was
held at Chapel Hill, and committee
to devise means to assist Mu-
grader to continue the war. A prop
osition to conscripe all males, white and
black. over 1s years Of age, was sub
mitted. Masters will be compelled to
drill their slaves and lead them in bat
tie. The women are also to he furnish
Ell with Weapons to defend themselves
at home. These measures were finally
to be submitted to Kirby Smith or Jeff

Some thirty years ago, in Washing
ton County, New York, beere ready
made shoes came in vogue, a venerable
shoemaker. Old Pho ,ix was in the
habit Of going from house to house, and
there making up shoes and boots for
the faml''ea under his jurisdiction
among the rest Of his customers he Wis
itel the family of one Mr.. Parish, and
shod o!l and young. One Of the boy s
was endowed with big pair of stoga
boots, and on the succee'Veg Sunday
went to church much more occupied
with the boots than with the sermon.
At the noon intermission, when good
old Dr. Proudft came around as was
his custom to catechise the youngsters
the boys thoughts still ran downward.
The Doctor coming up to the boy in
his turn, inquired Of him. "John, who
made you?" "Father found the lea,h.
er and old Phenx did the work!' was
the natural but unexpcc ted reply.
