visited Gallipolis on Friday night
last, beng prevented by the ice in
the river from reaching Parkersburg
BY boat. and consequently obliged to
travel to the railroad via Oak Hill.
We found as one of the staff, our
highly esteemed firiend Capt. II. W.
Douglas, who preceded Capt B. ID.
Webb in the -Commissary Depart,
ment at Galfpolis. Heis now Ghtef
G. S. oEthesdepariment of West Va,
and as may be. expected, one Of the
most efficient and popular officers in
the Department. ,He'was taken pris-
oner and enjoyed the hospitalities OF
Libby prison for about nine months,
which very certainly did not diinin
ish his well known hatred OF the re-
bellion and its leaders. The Capt
looks as fine as though he had not
besn an active participant in the pri
vations and honors of the war for
four years past, Capt H. S. Cher
ington of the s6th o. v. l., is also a
member Of the staff as A P. NJ. and
is highly esteemed as gentleman
and an efficient officer.
In one short interview with Cen
Crook, we were not disappointed in
our preconeeiIed notions of his char.

to live in. But now, oh horrible
what pavements and crossings. no
lady can get about without having
her dress completely spoiled, 1t is
too bad. -.
Cinder pavements seems to have
been adopted by your citizens. l
suppose they are well enough in dry
weather. Would it not be well for
your city fathers to prepare for the
coming drought. and procure s large
quantity of this most valuable paving
material (cinder) from the rolling
mills at Ironton and Portsmouth, and
thave your town paved with it from
one end to the other. 1t would be q
great saving of shoe leather.

Gallipolis relative to burying colored
soldiers in the cemetery belonging
to the corporation. Last Summer
by direction Of the Governor we en-
deavored to purchase two acres Of
land contiguous to the Hospital, Tor
8 burying ground for soldiers, to
which those now in the cemetery
should be removed, and all thereai-
ter dying at this post or brought
here to be inferred there. We coutd
find no person willing to sell except
at most exorbitant rates, nor did any
ops seem then to take special inter
est in it. Had We been properly
sustained in the measure by the coun-
Gil, and citizens, the present Difficult
ty about the burial Of a few eolered
men would not exist. We are still
prepared to execute a contract with
any man for two acres of land suita-
BILE for a soldiers cemetery, provided
he don't ask twice as much for it for
that purpose, as be would if purchas
ed by individuals for their own use.
The council may save themselves
much trouble, and our citizens be
saved the trouble OF unnecessary ex-
citement on a subject. which under
the circumstances should meet with
less hostility from Union men.

GEN. GRANT ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE-NrNi
to the views Of the late President, those OF Gen.
Grant must have most weight in the country
According to the Chicago Tribune. he thinks
that il is too soon TO declare that the loyal
blacks in the South shall not be allowed 70 vote.
Aside from the abstract right and the legal
problem of what authority can confer or with
hold the franchise-whcther it be Congress or
the States-the question may assume the shape
Of political necessity.
The government and people may have to
choose between keeping a standing army OF
loo, 900 men at an expense Of SlOO,OOO,UuO q
year to the taxpayers, 20 support the white MI
nority in the South against the white retcl ma
iority, or of enfranchisng the blacks, and there
by enabling them to support the " hite luyalists
Gen. Grant foresees that the suffrage question
may take this form.

THE FREEDMES.-The Office OF the Agent of
the Freedman's Bureau at this place has been
crowded during the last week. with applicants
for ratification of contracts between the planters
and their former slaves The groups of negro
women and crying children around. waiting
their turn has quite camp meeting appearance,
and sound. Almost all the planters are making
contracts with their nogro forces for the re-
uainder of the year, for their board, clothing,
and medical bills,-which is indeed the best
thing that can be dune on both sides Our
planters are all impoverished in manner, and
cannot pay wages on the present crop, which
being Of grain will sell for little money. Next
year cotton will be almost exclusively planted
and the planters may calculate upon scme
means OF paying definite wages. For house
servants, and other special purposes. wages are
in many instances given. As for the negro. il
is of infinite importance TO himself TO STAY at
home II will have time TO think, and pre-
pare himself for his new condition by christIaast,
which will be short enough in ali conscience
BY that time both he and his master, may better
make up their minds TO the future. .-~

70 BY far the most important event
which has yet occurred in the way Of
Church reconstruction in the South, is
the recent organization of an Annual
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in East Tennessee. Bishop Clark
having constituted the Conference by tie
transfer of six ministers from confer
ence of the loyal States, admitted into it
no less than 43 ministers from the South

ference starts with membership of 6494
