THE VIRGINIA COLORED MEMS 10 CON
VENTION .e+@ft


WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The Colored Mems
Convention to.day atAlexandria, Va, adopted
another address. setting forth the reasons
why they are entitled to all the privileges OF
freemen. In the course of discussion, Cow
ernor Pierpont was thoroughly censured and
accused of selling out the negroes at auction
when he removed the scat of his government
totRichmond. A delegate said that Mr.. Pier
pont, as the Governor, ought to be respected,
when another replied that no man was en-; is
tied to respect who did not respect the rights
of colored men.
An anonymous letter was read, postmarked
Washington, and threatening, among other
things, to put the principal leaders of the
Convention under the sod, before the falling
of the autumn leaves. if they persisted 10 their
object. This caused a great excitement and
fierce debate. The speakers. however. said
they were not 10 he intmidated, and finally
disposed of the subject by throwing the letter
under the table.

TEMPERANCE.

The Temperance Convention at Saratoga,
N T., has adjourned sine die, after adopting
several resolutions looking to the advance
ment of the cause oftotsl abstinence. Among
the are the following:
Resolued, That homemade wines, bitters
and beer are too common means of educa-
ting children and others into aste for strong
alcoholic drinke, and always the occasion for
the fall of partially reformed men and should
be discounteDanced by ell friends OF temper
ance.
Resolved, That the entire community should
be educated not only into the principles and
practice of total abstinence for the personal
safety and the good of others, but up to such
a consciousness of the right of self protection
SIS shalt secure the enforcement of existing
legal restrictione, and the speedy and effec-
tual enactment of the strongest prohibitory
statutes.
Resoived, That we should do all in our
power to secure The nomination and election
to office of men known as thorough and con-
sistent advocates of total abstinence from all
intoxicating drinks.

ATTEMPT TO INFLICr PERSONAL INJU-
RY UPON GEN. GRANT.

1t will be remembered that when General
Grant gave public reception at the .Asgor
House, New Y ork, some fine since, some das-
tardly fellow made an attempt to wrench the
Generals arm out of joint, by seizing his
nand with a vioe-like grasp and twisting it
round in q papful manner. A similar at
tempt to iLjure the General was made at the
Fanueil Hall reception, in this city, on Mon
day. While the throng of ladies and gentle
men were paying their personal respes 10
this distinguished hero, an iodigidual ap-
preached him and seized his handin the same
manner that 1t was grssped in New York, att
tempting to give it a sudden twist, which the
General succeeded in preventing only by for :
chilly Withdrawing it. One Of the aldermen
who witnessed the operation seized the man
by the neck, but The rascal escaped from him,
aud was quickly lost iu the crowd watch was
hurrying past. There is no doubt but that it
was deliberate attempt to inalct personal
injury upon the General. and we III derstsnd
also, that he was identified as the same per-
son who tried the same game 10 New York

THE TRAGEDY IN CoNNEoTICUT-CoN
FEssION OF THE MURDERER.

The coroner's jury in the Manchester Conn
murder case, returned verdict charging the
death of Mrs.. Starkweather and her daughter
Ella, upon the son and brother, Albert l..
Starkwesther. The Hartford Times, of Wed
nesdsy, says:
Albert was engaged to Miss Campbell, a
school teacher, and desired to be married as
soon as the present school term closed but
Miss G. had intimated to him her desire, or
purpose, to delay until he was better situated
pecuniarily, his debts paid, &c. Mrs, Stark
weather's farm consisted of neat white house
somewhat new, and about sixty five acres Of
land, valued in all about $1,000 The past
life of the prisoner will not bear critical in
spection. One of his school mates informes
as that he was of unsulleu and surely dispos
sition, rather quiet than demonstrative in his
manners. Later in life he was looked upon
as harmless youth, rather weak in charac.
ter. Still later, he got reckless and dissipa-
ted, run deeply into debt and kept loose CONF
pany. he owed Mr.. Kingsley, a livery stable
keeper in this city, between $500 and $500,
and had given note for the same. This note
became due on the day he committed the aw
full crime for which he is now in prison. He
endeayored last week to have his mother en-.
dorse this note but she refused to do so.
Mr. Campbell, the father of the young lady
Albert Starkweather desired TO marry visited
him in his cell in the Jail, and after a long
| interview, the prisoner confessed the crime,
acknowledging that he had butchered his
| mother, ard then his sister, with the axe, and
thea, to make certain of the fendsh job, he
had repeatedly plunged his butcher knife into
their throats and bosoms; winding up the
deed of horror by setting the bed on FIRE, and
| then his own bed, down stairs. He said that
| he did it to obtain the money which would
! come to him in case his mother and sister
were dead, and thus enable him to marry the
girl of his choice He made this confession
| with as little show of emotion as he has ex
hibited so far, through the trying ordeal he
has passed In regard to the details of the
murder he said bat little, and his questioners
had not the heart to ask concerning them
| The plea of insanity has already been set up.

It is gratifying to find that most of our
young men, since their return from the
army, have gone sturdily to work. We
hear Of many at the pillow, Others at the
anvil, whilst many are in stores. or have
taken to "follow the waters" 1t is
mentioned by Macauley, "a that after
the restoration of Charlie shs Second
it was found that CromS b who
quit the sword, for the avoca-
ii 7ns of life, were noted, in the COMMUNE
ties in which they settled, for being the
most orderly, Industrious and reliable
men that could be found. The result was,
they met with universal success in life.
We believe such will prove to be the ul-
innate history Of the young men who COM
posed the Southern armies, and survived
the Confederacy the four years of strict
discipline, which they submitted to like
men, must exercise salutary influence on
their future lives the example set them
by their leading generals was all
tnat it should have been, in regard to the
prophecies Of life. Their great leader
proved himselfnot only the greatest cap
tainNof the age, but his soldierly qualities
were adorned By the virtues Of the chris
tan and the moderation of the philosopher.
And then, the self-sacifcing spirit which
he has exhibited, should prove valuable
lesson to all those who revere upright
ness aud honesty. under circumstances
of great difficulty. Let the young men
of the South take these lessons to heart.
Let them follow the example of Lee and
Johnston abide by the laws, practice
industry. perseverance, ard sobrlety,
and loyalty to the Government under
which they now live, and our word for it,
the future will find them honored, res
pected, and trusted by their fellow ci'i-
zens; and welcomed by the great mass, on
this continent; as those "who were lost,
but are found" They will mingle,

THE FUTURE OF VIRGINIA AND THE
SOUTH

The Charlottesville Chronicle answers q
question on this subject as follows;
That is to be answered fifty years hence
when Richmond has two hundred thousand
inhabitants, when the harbor of Norfolk is
is crowded with shipping, when the Safe is a
net work of railroads, when the sound of the
hammer is heard on the hills and in the ya-
leys, when our lands yield thirty bushels OF
wheat TO the acre. when labor has come hons
orable, when men shsll be worth thousands
where they we're formly worth hundreds.
Six millions of Southern people can yet fig
ure in the worlds future, if they are stout
hearted. if they are Industrious, if they serve
God If we put our hands to the plough, if
we exert will, if we do our duty-it will be
most extraordinary if we are kept down.
Mainly, we have had terrible lesson, and let
us lay it to heart: she very best thing for the
Southern people to do now, is to practice re-
Lyon. When the heart of the people is RICH
in the sight of God, and not before, we shalt
be prosperous.
