New York, June 10.
The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says, conference took place i'm that city
on Thursday last, between Gov. Pierpoint
ana the members Of the Virginia Legisla-
ture. The subject under consideration be-
ing proposition to extend the right OF
suffrage beyond the limits imposed by the
Alexandria Constitution, by which oil who
have taken part in the rebellion are exclu-
ded from the rights of voting. If Virginia
is not represented in the next session OF
Congress, it will not be because Virginians
willing to fill seats in that body cannot be
found. Candidates for the position are
coming to light rapidly, including some
gentlemen who short time ago would
have considered themselves insulted by
being called citizens Of the United States.
1t is even said that the late rebel Cover
nor EXtra-Biil Smith proposes to run for
election if he can first get President John
son to pardon him. r.... ..
Washington, June 1S.
A special to the Tribune says, 1t is as
certained that there is secret combina-
ton among the rebel real estate owners OF
Richmond, not to sell to any Northern or
Yankee purchasers. This accounts for the
fact that property there is now held al from
200 to 500 per cent. higher than before the
rebellion.
There is good reason to believe that the
pardoning carnival is about over. The
scores of eminent statesmen, lawyers and
politicians who have thronged the White
House, and secured the pardon ofculprits
for abundant fees are likely to find theil
business curtailed on account of it's poor
success.
A strong pressure was brought to bear
upon President johnson for the pardon OF
Millmon, who has been sentenced to two
years imprison ent and fine Of $40, 600
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 the Executive interference.
| Officers and men hereafter are duly com
missioned by the Governors of States to

ty in Texas, and will be furnished with
full transportation to their respective regi-
| ments or companies on presentations Of
their commissions to the Quartermasters

A mosttorrible outrage and murder came
to light yesterday, in place called Bus
ser Wood, Roxbury. The bodies of Isabella
Joice, aged IA, and brother, aged IL wears.
were found murdered, the little girl hav-
ing first been fiendishly outraged, and a
double murder probably committed to
hide the diabolical crime. The parents re-
side in the 18th ward in this city, and are
highly respected. The little children were
engaged in gathering wild flowers in the
woods and making wreaths of evergreens
and flowers, as the wilted fruits of their
labor lay scattered about on the spot where
their bodies were discovered. The child
