RICHMOND WING.
ywyITRA SMITH, Proprietor.
The Municipal Government.

We are gratiied TO learn that the hrs'
stem has been taken towards the restoration
Of municipal authority in this city. We
have no fault to find with the military admin
,,,ratioa of affairs in Richmond, which We
have commended on various occasions, but
thsre are certain matters Of civil cOgnizanee,
affecting, permanently, the rights and inter
ass of individuals and Of the community al
l,r,s which cannot be Is satisfactorily OF
els, adjusted, or disposed Of by MILL
tary ,r!buuals, IS by recognized municipal
officials. For this reason, we have hoped
t.attae Cay Council Of Richmond would be
allowed 70 assemble, and take such action,
5romo,iye OF the general interests, as would
hl-mou.ze with the military administration.
We .annot conceive that there would be any
c5.t!c,, out rather increased efficiency, each
sa,uor,.y acting within its peculiar sphere.
The City Council Of Petersburg, and We
believe, also, the Councils of Lynchburg and
Fredericksburg, have held several meetings
since The national authority has been re-es-
tablisaed, aud ere long, We presume, the
same privilege will be accorded to the City
Council OF Richmond in ord'r that the re-
alization OF funds to pay arrears due to
city employees, the regulation OF the Aims
Holse, the care of public property, the su-
peryision OF the gas and water works, the
regarding aud Strengthening Of streets in the
bnrnt district, and other matters OF similar
local importance, not pertaining TO military
Jurisdiction, may be duly considered.
The step already taken towards the reSto-
ration OF civil government in the city, is the
reinvestment Of the Mayor with certain
functions heretofore exercised by him. Hav-
ing been designated" or recognized as =
Magistrate" by BrigAdier General Patrick,
commanding the District Of Henrico," he
comes within the purvieW Of the proclama-
ton recently issued by Governor Peirpoint,
authorizing such magistrates ''tO execute the
police laws of the State in their respective
magisterial districts, by arresting offenders
and holding them TO bail, or committing
kQeLQ 10 IAAAf " NS " ANNA "AlA N~'.- - -
tablisnod under the Constitution Of the
State" With the concurrence Of General
Patrick, Mayor Mayo entered yesterday upon
the discharge OF the police duties prescribed
in this proclamation. He will, of course,
have the cooperation Of the military, and
will employ such number of civil officers as
will enable him more efficiently 10 "eXecute
the police laws Of the State" and enforce
sanitary regulations within the limits of the
city. We anticipate the best results from
this arrangement. The Mayor, We are sure,
will not transcend the limits Of the author
ity conaded to him, but will discharge the
duties devolved upon him With cOnscien-
tiOus regard for the best interests OF all con-
cerned.

ExECUTIvE DEPARTMENT,
RICHMOND, June Sd, 1865.
Rev. John Dudley:
Sir-I am informed that you are the rep
resentative of the National Freedmen's Re-
lief Association, the object OF which is TO
promote the welfare of the colored pOpula.
ton of the Southern States, who have so
recently and suddenly passed from condi-
ton of bondage to freedom. :,
The sudden solution of this grave political
and social problem has been as unexpected
10 the former slave as to the great and good
men in every section Of the country, and
must be accepted as an act Of that mystic
rious and overruling Providence who con-
ducts the affairs of men to conclusions which
their wisdom can neither foresee nor accom-
plish.
IL has placed US in new relations and brings
Us new responsibilities and for the wise and
generous administration Of this national
trust, believe we shall be held accountable
as a nation.
The care Of these four millions of human
beings, thus thrown, uneducated and unpre-
pared, upon their own resources, will re-
auire an immense amount Of Intelligent,
considerate and disinterested labor. While
many of the Freedmen may be quite comPe-
tent 10 meet the emergency by labor IN tne
field, 10 which they have been accusIomed,
great proportion must necessarily depend,
for a time, upon the assistance and guidance
OF those who have enjoyed superior adyan-
tages Of fortune and education.
Attached, by habit and adaptation, to the
soil and climate Of the South, It is yet mani
fest that the Freedmen cannot look for much
of the needed material assistance to sec
ton recently devastated by war, and dlsor-
ganized by great social and political changes.
Ii is TO the strong, wealthy and prosperous
communities of the North that he must look
for that humane and generous support so es-
Sential to his new condition.
You ask if / have any advice to offer you
and your co-laborers in this great work p
/ answer by counselling you to impress
upon all with whom you come In contact the
essential lessons Of industry, frugality and
subordination to laws.
Industry is essential to his moral as well
As his material welfare. By frugality alone
can he hope TO reap and maintain the full
and permanent reward of his industry. By
Subordination to law he will win the respect
of his fellow men, and the right to enjoy in
peace the fruit Of his labor
The law is a terror TO eyil.doers aud a
praise to him who does well. de who does
not violate the law need not fear the law.
Teach him what the law is, the hrst and
comprehensive lesson OF which IS iaio down
In the ten commandments Of the Bible.
If he is taught to unders and and faith
fnlly to observe these, will undertake to
stand between him and the magistrate.
If these simple precepts are inculcated'
and the Freedman can be led to rule his con
duct thereby, we may fatter ourselves that
his future is assured, and that this nation
will faithfully and successfully discharge the
trust which has been confded to it by divine
Providence.

IEFF- DAVIS, OBsTINACY.
From the Louisville Journal


The New York World, in very calm and
iudicious article upon JEFF. Davis, says that
if he had been a superior statesman, lie
weuld have prevented his section bravlng the
public opinion of the world in hopeless con-
test. But passing over the preiiminaries of
the rebellion, and considering him merely as
the Chief Magistrate OF tne Contederacy, II
is difficult to discern any evidence of first
rate capacity. The South, as the weaker
marty in the contest, had no chaLce Of sue
cess but in the most perfect internal unity.
And vet Davis retained his old political and
pei sonal animosities, prosecuting prominent
men and capable commanders, TO pay oil
old prudees. This showed equal want VI
magnanimity and of largeness Of view
IL was essential that the Confederate admin
istration should comprise the best ability of
the South. But the natural arrogance of
Davis character and his dictatorial spirit
led him TO prefer tools to counselors; so
that his administration never had the weight
and authority of the collective wisdom Of the
South, but only the personal weight Of the
rebel President. The besetting weakness Of
Davis character was an unreasoning, head
strong obstinacy, which did not leave him
master of his own actions. 1t was this which
pushed him into the rebellion against his
own better judgment; it was this which
would brook no independent advice in his
cabinet; it was this which caused him to
persecute some of his most deserving gener-
ais il was this which made him perseveIe in
the rebellion after it had become hopeless,
rather than accept terms which PRESIDENT
Lincoln would have granted him.
In no part of DaviS's career are his over
mastering obstinacy and want of statesman
ship so conspicuous as its closing period. AS
a statesman and patriot, he should have re-
earded nothing but the real welfare of the
section that had given him its confidence
He had a right to sacrifice himself-under
some circumstances it might have been his
duty to sacrifice himself-for the good OF his
people. But he had no right 10 sacrifice
them to his own unreasoning pride. AS soon
as it became apparent that success was hope
less, he ought, in the interest of his section.
to have kept up, indeed, as great snow Of
strength as possible, but to have MADE IL the
basis of obtaining for the Southern people
favorable terms Of submission. There Is au-
thentic evidence that so late as the Ha nPIon
Roads conference he could have saved all
their lives and all that remained OF their
property after the liberation Of their slaves
