POSITION OLE MIR. BoTTS.

We have had pleasant interview. says the
Washington Chronicle, with the Hon. John NJ.
Bolts Of Virginia. He denies the accuracy OF @
statement published in Litter from Richmond,
that Mr.. Bolts SAYS that the. people OF Virginia
would have had no objection 10 have received
Mr.. PeirpOint as Provisional Governor, but that
there is a decided disinclinati0n 70 acknowledge
MIN as the Executive OF the Commonwealth. "
What he did say was, that he could not approve
the manner in which the Alexandra COnstitu.
ton was forced upOl the people OF Virginia, il
having been framed b; eleven men and adopted
by four or i've hundred voters ; bu, that Gov.
-ernor PeirpOint was elected under the Constitu-
lion Of ISL and is therefore the legitimate Gov.
ernor OF the Sta.e.
Mr.. Bolts denies that he ha5 ever disputed the
validity Of the West Virginia Government. as has
been alleged by some newspaper correspondents.
he insists, Ou the contrary, that the peOpe OF the
West did right 70 set up loyal Government, and
admits the legality OF the act Of separation from
the 81 he would prefer to see the old State
reunited on many accounts, but he regards the
question as hually settled.
In respect TO slavery, Mr.. Bolts admits that
slavery is destroyed by the events Of the war and
although be would have preferred a more grad
ual process, he how acquiesces in the practical
result and thinks the whole people OF the State
would consent 10 the Incorporation OF prChib
itory clause in the Constitution
Although the views OF Mr.. Bolts are not En-
t'rely In harmony with the prevalent sentiment
of the country, Il is due TO him 10 say that lie
has no affinity with the class Of men vino have
been reinstatcd in power and authority in Rich
mond by General Patrick. He detests Copper
heads and Rebels as much as the most orthodox
Republicans can do and would not tolerate taem
either as officials or IS manufacturers Of public
sentiment.
