At the session of the Virginia Legisla-
ture IN Richmond, on Tuesday last, the
message of Governor Pierpoint was re-
ceivcd and read. After referring to the
fact that the status of the African race,
State sovereignty and armed resistance to
the national government ars disposed of
by the war, and recommending the avoid
ance of-any legislation calculated unne-
cessarily to irritatc the people OF the
State, the Governor announces his con-
viction that the Alexandria constitution
is entirely too restricted in its provisions
regarding the elective franchise, and re-
commends the extension of that privilege
to classes Of white citizens now deprived
of it. He is in favor of the substitution
of some such oath of allegiance as that
contained in President Johnson's amnes-
ty proclamation for the more exclusive
one of the State constitution as it now
stands. Regarding negro suffrage the
Governor says: "As neither you nor l
have control over that matter, it will of
course. not be subject of your delibera-
tions." He recommends, that the State
tax be increased from ten to fifteen cents
on the hundred dollars, and the legal rate
of interest to seven and three-tenths per
cent A joint committee of the two
houses was appointed to prepare q bill
extending the elective franchise.-N. Y.

WASHINGTON, June 81.

WASHINGTON, une Il.
There will probably be some considera-
bic delay in the appointment of Provis-
ional Governor for South Carolina. The
delegation here do not at all represent
the Unionists of the State, the few there
are to represent One, who seeks to be
the giver ofadvce to President Johnson,
once said in Charleston that be :" wished
the Yankees had but one throat that he
might cut it," Another declared that he
"w5uld burn his house rather than that a
damned Yankee should pollute it with his
presence;" and so on through. the entire
list. 1t is likely therefore, that South
Carolina will be suffered to lie out in the
cold for the present.
DR.. A. G. Mackey, tie newly appointed
Collector at Charleston, has returned to
the city after. his visit to West Point, and
is showing mp this psucdo South Carolina
delegation in vivid colors. He charges
that the men composing the delegation
now here were original secessionists.-
They admit it to be true, and attempt no
concealment. Colonel Yates, Of the dele
CATION, entered Fort Sumter Immediately
latter its evacuation by Major Anderson,
and remained in the rebel military service
until the surrender of Joe Johnston
Others of the delegation voted and acted
as consistent secessionists throughout
They are now here acknowledging them
selves defeated and subiugated. They ask
nothing but pardon and early action in
appointing civil officers. The State is at
present without law, its citizens are COM
pletely hrmbled, fearful proportion of
them are literally destitute of all means
of support and starving, all mannereof
lawlessness and crime is alarmingly on
the increase, and only hope for the public
or private virtue is admitted to lie in the
protection of federal law. The names of
ex-Congressman William w. Boyce and
Mr.. MoIlliley, are among those submitted
by the delegation as certain to- give en-
tire satisfaction. to the State, although
thoy disclaim all desire to influence the
Presidents appointment It can be said
in Mr. Boyce's favor that he disagreed
with a majority of South Carolintans,
and declared for peace year ago. Mr..
McIllilley voted against secession in the
outset, and, like Governor Aiken, held
aloof throughout the war. There is evil
dently very little sympathy between
these delegates and Mr., Macleey, whose
loyalty is accepted by the North without
question. The delegation is to have an
other hearing on Saturday.

during the year 1864. We may point to
this list with Just pride, not only because

gives evidence of a great increase in the
wealth of the city, as compared with 1863.

endeAvOr TO present something of the sort
In a future article. Let us, however, call
attention to the fact, which will serve very
well as sample for hundred which might
be cited, that while, for the year 1863,
only two incomes of over 500 900 were |
reported, for the year 1864 we have four
incomes Of over 800 900.
We do not claim for this list that it is
perfect in every respect. In copying and
setting up,errors may have been made. If
any such are reported to US We will gladly
correct them.
