NegTo Celebration

The negroes in Richmond were pIepa
ring for a grand celebration to take place
today in honor Of the evacuation Of that
city by the robeis Such celebration
vas deemed likely to lead 10 disturban-
ees of tho peace and also to deepening of
the hostility between tie whites and the
blacks in Richmond, and in accordance
with the petition of citizens, President
JOHNSON has forbidden the assembling of
the blacks for that purpose, This action,
certainly wise and prudent under the
circumstances has been seized upon by
the radicals as pIetext for fresh out
pouring of their fury. They seem to see
in the Presidents refusal to permit a
turbulent crowd of negroes to assemble
in Richmond on the Sd of April and ex-
nit over the white inhabitants OF the
city stndied attempt Oh his part to in
suit the North and forbid all celebration
OF Federal victories. The radicals are so
determined upon precipitatiDg the couu-
Try into another revolution that they
distort every word and action of the
President from their true intent and lash
themselves into perfect paroxysm OF
rage over "tritles light as air"

The New Jersey senator.hip.

The New Jersey Senatorship has
reached delightful muddle. The rad
;cals seem to have rather Over.reached
themselves in ousting Mr.. STOCKTON ana
are almost ready to wish him back IN
the seat of which he has been illegally
deprived. An unexpected obstacle 10
tho comnlete success of their scheme has
been found in the person of Mr.. ScovILL,
President OF the New Jersey Senate, who
was supposed to be radical but who
seems to be so intensely imbued with
the principles of his party as to he un-
willing for the election of any person 10
be United States Senator unless he Is
himself permitted to name the man.
And he seems to have power to enforce
his demand. Upon the question OF going
into Joint session for the election OF Sen
ator the State Senate is evenly Gil
vided. The presiding officer has the
casting vote and he refuses to per
init a lOlQU SeSSlUu W w hOio UoA>SS w.

whose representative, though con-
servatiye man, had not resigned. In
every case the former representatives
were renominated by the people and
their action thus approved. The cleo
ton was held last Saturday, and 1t ap'
pears from the dispatches that in every
district the conservative candidates nave
been re elected by maiorities greater
than those they originally received.
What course the Governor and the
radicals will now pursue remains 10 DC
seen, but the situation is rather inter

conservatives will "bolt" again if any
