The Heralds Richmond correspon-
dent, gives the following version of the
causes which led to the suspension of
civil authority in this city:
d Some two weeks subsequent to Major
General Terry's taking effectual steps to
uuell the unfortunate disturbances at
Norfolk, some of the Northern papers
took up the subject inaquerrulousspirit.
The order of Gen. Terry upon this SUBJ
ject will demonstrate thatthes criticisms
were very unkind.
Immediately after the first outbreak at
Norfolk the commanding officer was
changed, and Brevet Brigadier General
q. T.. Mann was assigned to the com
mand of the district, including the city
The Mayor of the city was notified by
General Terry that unless he preserved
GOOD order and quiet throughoutthe city
fhe military authorities would, and if i
became necessary the entire city govern
ment would be again suspendea'
Rreyet BriGadier General Mann wa
directed by General Terry to establish
strong military patrols and apollsn I'm
city police. He was also dliecteo 70 u.
by military commission all crlmlha
cases affecting the rights and sa1ety
the freedman, and more especially thos'
cases which depended upon the testimo
ny of people Of color. Thus it will bt
seen that while certain chemically carp
ing Journals at the North were ,gravely
finding fault with General Terry in rela-
ton to the Norfolk disturbances, quiet
had for many days reigned in that city.

Lookout, where they are no longer
wanted, have been ordered to report for
duty at headquarters in Richmond, and
are in camp at Manchester, opposittehe
city.
Mr.. Charles Palmer, an old citizen of
Richmond, who was strong Union
man throughout, and has been doing all
in his power since the restoration to Sc
cure the pardon of prominent citizens,
is reported in very low state OF health.
We learn from gentleman just from
Prince William county, that the election
recently held in that county has been
set aside, by what authority he does not
know--and that it is supposed a new
election will soon be ordered.
They have had some hot weather in
Richmond, too. The thermometer, on
Saturday and Sunday last, reached $40.
Pretty good for Richmond, but nothing
for Norfolk. We are still 100 ahead.
City Point will no longer be military

From gentleman who arrived from Omaha
we learn that the Union Pacific railroad has
already been completed for twenty miles west
of Omaha, and built in the most substantial
manner. The Superintendent, Mr.. Henry,
is confident of having fifty miles more fin
ished, in like style, by the first of next April:
The company has chartered four steamers
to transport the ties.
The Omaha people are actively moving in
aid of the st. Joseph and Council Bluffs rail-
road, the continuation of the Platt Country
road The contractor for this work is Mr.
Phelps, of the firm of Phelps, Mattoon 4
Barnes, of Springfield, Massachusetts-the
firm that built the Terre uaute and Alton
railroad.
At Omaha emigrants are continually re-
turning from Montana, and some two or
three thousand are reported to be on the
way. They are principally Adventures who
have "made their pile" and are coming
home" Herewith. One of the arrivals had
some $l2O, 900 with him in gold dust These
''plums" will invite an exchange for green
backs or premium stock in St. Louis and
other cities. The argosies called "Macki-
nav boats" are built ON the Yellowstone, of
light lumber, covered over with buffalo skins
and in these craft of their own construction
the returning voyagers and their treasure
come some $500 miles from various points

their former places of residence, in Missouri,
Illinois, and other Western and Eastern
States.-MtSSOWrL Democrat.

"That the negroes should vote; that they

Gen. Candy has been petitioned to release
them, on the ground that their only offence

The following letter from Gen. SHERMAN
on the men who opposed the war while there
was any fighting to be DONE and now claim
all the honors of victory, was read by Gen.
FITZPATRICK at the Brooklyn mass meeting
last Saturday:
Gen. JudSon Fitzpatrick:
DEAR SIR: have observed with interest
your political conflict in New Jersey. 1t is
really provoking hardly worthy of IA serious
thought, but rather of satire and ridicule,
the squirming of the politicians called Cop
perheads, who opposed the war from every
conceivable motive; some from sheer cow
ardice, others to oppose a political party
some because they thought we could not whip
the South, and now that it is reduced to
demonstration have hard work to explain
their conduct even to themselves. Ihave no
patience with that class Of men, and believe
the people of the South have more respect
for us, who belabored them soundly, than for
the Copperheads, who, nominally their friends,
led them deeper and deeper into trouble.

Major General

The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue
yesterday decided that taxes on gross re-
ceipts which have been paid by hackmen and
cartmon cannot be refunded, inasmuch as
the decision exempting their receipts from
taxation does not proceed on the ground that
the imposition of the tax is clearly illegal,
but rather on the ground that the benefit Of
any doubt as to the proper construction Of
the law should be SO far given to the tax
payers as not to require further returns of
gross receipts from hackmen and cartmen.
The Commissioner further adds that "This
office cannot consider applications for refund
ing taxes already collected, but will entertain
claims for abatement only"

The election returns from the Sixth Con,
gressional District of Massachusetts,, show
that Major General NATHANIEL P. BANKS
has been triumphantly elected q member oi

cessor of Hon. Mr.. GoocH. This is proud
record for the General After returning from
the war, the victim of abuse, misrepresenta-

and consequently better known and appre-
ciated than by all the copperheads of Louisi-
ana or the combined cotton spectators Of

Of it, he was nominated and by an over
whelming vote elected to represent one of the
largest, wealthiest, and most intelligent Con-
gressional districts in the glorious old Com
monwealth. This is vindication and glory
enough.
We congratulate the General and the Dis
trict upon the result. Upon the floor of the

of unravelling some important
matters that have heretofore been buried in

FINANCIAL AFFAIRs.-The spirit of specu-
lation is still rampant in the share market.
Michigan Southern was yesterday run up

shares were sold-making SO, 900 shares sold

Commercial AdUertiScr says:
The excitement in Milwaukee and Prairie

O slight demand for cash stock, which was
Supplied at 220a225; the closing quotation,
regular, was 200-an advance of go upon the
closing price of yesterdays second board
The fact of there being comparatively little
demand for stock from the "shorts," leads
to the supposition that many contracts are
being settled by compromise.
The result of the movement will probably
be that the cornering" clique will get the
whole stock of the road for almost nothing.
The case reads a severe lesson on the reck-
lessness with which much Of the current spec
ulation is being conducted.
Money is decidedly easier. The partial
reduction in the demand for discounts has
placed more money at the disposal of brokers,
and the tendency favors lower rate on call
