A Copperhead Candidate in Favor of Repu.
diation

Col. w. w. FL. Davis, the Copperhead
candidate for Auditor General has now re-
sumed full charge of the Doglesto,on Demo
crat newspaper which he has owned for
many years, and which heretofore and now
sympathizes with the rebels. The peculiar
force OF the Democrat, since Col. Davis has
returned to preside oyerits columns. consists
in asserting that the rebels have not been
whipped; that they should be received
back to the Union with all their rights re.
stored; that slavery is not and can never he
abolished, and that in justice to the rebels
the debt which they incurred in strnggI;na r,
for their rights is as legal as the debt
which was piled on the people by the Ma
tional authorities while waging crusade on
the people of the South, and if the Nation
al debt is paid, so also must the debts of the
Southern States be liquidated. According
to Col Davis own theory the triumph of
the Copperheads at the ballot box would be
TO wipe out all the disgrace of the defeat of
the rebels on the battle field. The Doules-
torn Democrat takes this position, and w.
w. H. Davis is the editor and proprietor of
that pestilential sheet et-7eiegraph.

True Soldiers, men who fought for prin-
ciple and not for pay, in the war to put
down the slave holders rebellion, shrink
from accepting nominations for civil posi-
ton, when conferred by the party whose
leaders and representatives sympathize6
with the conspirators. Gen. Slocum is an
instance of this fact. He declined the NOM
ination of the New York copperheads for
an important State office. And now we
hear Of still another soldier who indignant
ly rejects a nomination at the hands Of the
enemies of his country. Col. S. G. Van
Anda, nominated for Lieutenant Governor
by the Iowa copperheads, on what they call
Soldiers Ticket" declines the dishonor,
and pledges himself to support the Union
ticket. How different the actions OF these gal
and heroic officers when compared with
that of other solliers who have actually
crawled on their knees for like favors from
the enemies of the country.-TeEegrGph.

Military Candidates.

The Democratic faction are not discour-
aged by their poor success in military candl-
dates last fall They chose their man then
in adaptation to their platform, pronouncing
the war failure, and of the best and fullest
representative of that idea. Since other
and better Generals have carried the war to
a successful issue. and secured an honorable
safe and lasting peace, the party finding
itself failure" has been feeling around
for some new support. Not finding it con-
yenient or promising to declare against the
war again, they are, in several cases. avail
ing themselves of military candidates to
meet the exigency of their affairs, and in
some of these cases taking them from the
triumphant Union ranks. 1t will be OBJ
served, however, that, as general thing
they run soldiers where there is. no chance
of election wherever there is they run poll
ticians, as usual

The Copperheads are indulging in some
boasts over their soldier candidates" for
Governor in New Jersey and Ohio. We
don't see that there is much room to brag
on these nominees They are decidedly a
weak-kneed, spawned team. Runyon, of
New Jersey, was General only in the three
months service, and made a very disgrace
tql figure at Bull Run, his only battle.
Morgan, of Ohio, was a commander of the
Mcclellan stripe, and was distinguished in
the army only for his surrender of Cumber-
land Gap, In September, 1862 Would it
not be appropriate for the Copperheads to
form all their soldier candidates. in rank
and trot them around to the tune of the

THE ''STRAP" GAME Charles Lacosta,
little white boy, with an obliquity of vision
which was evident and an obliquity of morals
which was to be supposed was brought into
Court to testify against fast young man of
color, named Joe Birney, who had won pis-
toll from Lacosta on the hocus-pocus principle.
If our readers do not know what the &c Strap
Game" is, they can take few lessons at the
foot of the market almost any day in the
week. 1t appears that Lacosta bet the pistol
against five dollars that he could catch the
strap, but alas! for human calculations, he did
not catch it, and his pistol went up; and as
the pistol did not belong to him. he got into
hot water, and then got Birney, the negro, in
to warm place also Birney was committed
for hearing before the Provost Court, which
will he in session i'll day or two.

Canal Company, corner of CRANKY and Main
streets, was arraigned before Mayor Tabb yes
terday. The proprietors of the shop testified
to the loss of about seventy-fve dollars worth
of property, and the breaking open of their
shop. About forty dollarsworth of the proper
ty was recovered and traced to the possession
of Curtis, who had been employed as a shoe
maker in their establishment for few days
He is very hard looking case, and if he has
committed burglary and theft, he could not
help it; with such a hang-dog expression, it
would be wonderful indeed if he committed
good or generous deed. Mayor Tabb COM
mitted him for hearing before the Corpora
ton Court

MAYORS COURT, Portsmouth, Mayor COL
Inns Office was, on yesterday morning, rammed
and iammed with az ugly a crowd of negroes
as the Freedmen's Bureau can boast of. The
first aco,thy that appeared on the stand glo-
ried in the cognomen of George Washington
and was charged by Albert Booker with the
theft of one shirt and one pair of pants. The
theft of the clothing was plainly apparent to
his Honor, and the fellow was sent over to the
Military Court, in this city, to answer to the
charge
Charles Outten, negro, charged with assault
ing Albert Booker, negro, with sheath knife,
with deadly intent, was turned over to Capt.
Bottsford, of the Military Court.
James Randall, negro, for passing Con-
federatc note, of the denomination of ten dol
lars, on Mary White, negress, was also sent
over
VIM. Hockey, negro, for breach of the
peace, in assaulting John Brady, a white lad,
with stone was sent over to the Military
Court, in this city, to answer to the charge.
Portsmouth, on Sunday night was, in some
sections, as noisy and disorderly as if the Bed
lamtes had been released, and the whistles of
the policemen were constantly sounding
However, the reprobate Sabbath breakers got
themselves housed about twelve o'clock, after
which time order reigned supreme.

A CoNrIpENcE MAN-Wm. White. alias

A CONFIDENCE MAN-Wm. White, alias
King, who had represented himself to Mr.
Baum as the steward of British ship of war
in the Roads, and who had purchased any
quantity Of beef and mutton, capped the eli
max by causing Mr. Baum to purchase any
quantity of vegetables with the promise that
he (Mr. Baum) should be reimbursed when he
(White came to settle and take the things
away. But White added insult, to injury,
when he came back and borrowed twenty
dollars from Mr.. Baum to pay for some arti-
cles he had purchased in another part of the
market. White played his hand 50 well that
Mr.. Baum thought it was all right, and
launched out his funds to his liberal customer
without hesitation. But the sequel proved
that White, alias King, was a confidence
man, and had "donc" Mr.. Baum out of twenty
dollars and the cost of the vegetables.
Officer Wyatt was puton the scent, and he
tracked White for a while and then nabed
him. -Four dollars and fifty cents, and one
gold pencil of the value of five dollars, which
he had just purchased, was all that was re-
covered of the twenty dollars. 1t is needless
to say that White had no connection with an
English ship; but we might add that he had
worked his passage here from North Carolina
on Friday last. Mayor Tabb took birds
eye view Of the case yesterday and committed
the accused for a hearing at the Corporation
Court.

CHARGED WITH VIOLATING THE Pilot
LAws.--H B. Lawson charged with violating
the pilot laws, by plotting ship up James
river, contrary to law, appeared before the
Mayor Yesterday to answer. To the surprise
Of mahy,'if not all present, he produced a
license, or branch, which had been issued by
a new board of commissioners; and the exist
ence of this new board developed the farther
fact that the Corporation Court had, without
placing any reason on record, turned the old
board ont, and appointed new board, and
that this new board had made divers and sum
dry appointments, and that Mr.; Lawson was
one of them. Mr. Lawson is evidently acting
under the color. of law, and so the Mayor
must have thought, as he dismissed the case !;
but whether the Corporation Court have not
transcribed their bounds, or acted, to speak
mildly, imprudently, is a question for future
consideration. If there were no charges
against the old board, why have they been
turned ont? Nous re'1ons.
