VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

Senate bill for regulating contracts
between white and colored persons was
taken up on the 3lst ult.
Mr.. Keen, of Pittsylvania, wished to
lay the bill on the table. He referred to
the action of General Terry i'm annullng
the "Vagrant Law" and said that any
act attempting to regulate contracts
might be made an additional reason for
q second or cancelling another law of
the General Assembly. He thought
that the negroes were capable of making
contracts for themselves, and declared
ms intention of voting against the bill.
Several amendments were offered
with the Intention of making the negro
cognizant of the terms of his engage
ment, and to enforce their fuIfillment.
A long discussion ensued, and the hin
as amended was passed.
The principal provision of the bin ia
that no contract for labor between a
white man and a negro, for longer
period than Onemonth, shall be binding
upon the negro unless made in writing:
also that the contract shall be explained
to the negro, and the fact of such expla.
nation certified upon the contract. It
also imposes penalty of not less than
ten dollars, nor more than twenty dol
lars, upon any person enticingaway any
laborer performing service under con-
tract.

afforded to renew the rebellion, was a
chimera. If they fought again they
must fight underthe ''stars and stripes
1t was his flag; it was their flag. He
had never seen the day, not even when
ordering his men to charge those who
carried 1t, that he did not love 1t better
than any of them could do. He said that
when more than four thousand miles
from home that flag was the sheltering
8gis that protected him. 1t was still
the symbol of liberty to the oppressed OF
the whole world. for 1t was only this
country that afforded an asylum from
despotism. He urged his hearers to 20
to work; not to be idle, not to loaf about
the streets. He said that he would issue
his last order to them as their General.
1t was, that none of them should be
drones. If they could not get the work
to do that they had been accustomed to
do, then do whatever came to hand. Do
something. If they could not get money
for their work, then work for their
victualsand clothes. If they could not
get their clothes, then work for their
food. if they could not get meat, then
work for bread. II was the duty of every
man to do something for himself, his
family and his country.
The address was full Of pleasantly and
deep pathos, and was frequently Inter
rupted by the applause of his audience.

The New Berne Times says there is
considerable excitement in that city,
growing out of the fact that the grave
yards are nightly robbed. The vile
ghouls and hyenas open new made
graves to steal. the shrouds from the
dead, and carry off the iron fences from
around the tombs. 1t suggests the
necessity of placing a guard over their
cemeteries. Robbing the dead must be
the last resort ofscoundrels but we are
pleased to see that there are worse vii
lians in other cities than we have in
Norfolk. The dead here are permitted
TO rest in peace. The shades of the
departed are even respected by our
garroters.

Next summer we are to have the
cholera. Its course SO far has been lust
the same as its course in previous vista.
tions, and next summerit will be due in
this country. Thousands of the inhabi.
tants of Norfolk will be in the full vigor
Of health one day, and the next will be
hastily borne to their final resting place.
A universal panic will seize upon our
people; all who can get away will flee
from the pestilence; business will be
Frustrated; and general gloom and stag.
nation will take the place ofour present
prosperity. And yet, all this can be
prevented. There is no necessity for the
prevalence of the cholera in this city
next summer. While the causes of
most diseases are hidden from knowl-
edge, the cause of cholera has been
positively ascertained. 1t is filth. The
proof of this is conclusive. The progress
OF the disease in itsseveral epidemics has
been carefully watched and faithfully
recorded its history is remarkably full
and minute; and, without exception, it
has attacked filthy cities only, and it
has prevailed only in the filthy portions
Of the cities which it has attacked.

Peirpoint seems to have few friends
in Richmond. The Republic alone
stands by him in his day of adversely.
The balance of the press is pitching into
him right and left, and he feels that he
is deserted by those upon whom he has
conferred the most favors. The men
who now denounce him are the very
ones who fawned about him in the early
part OF the summer, obtainining his re-
commentators for pardons, and using
him in every way to accomplish their
ends. He thus lost the confidence and
friendship of one party, and is now
thrown overheard by the other.

The conference of the senior major
| generals Of the regular army now pro.
crossing in Washington, is causing the
most extensive speculation as to the re-
suits to be obtained. Among the most
practical theories yet advanced is the
suppOsitiOn that these officers have been
summoned more to give their united
views concerning the Southern country
they have traversed, and as to the ne
cessity for garrisoning the South with
troops, than for council touching the
immediate affairs of the army. This
proposition is the more credible from the
introduction and passage of resolution
in the Senate to-day, asking the Presi-
dent to transmit Major General Sher-
mans report of personal observations in
the South. 1t it supposed that Mr..
johnson is principally DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning the opinions of the generals, and
that Congress will adhere to its original
idea Of delegating subcommittee from
the joint Reconstruction Committee to
make trip of observation through the
excluded states. The passage in the
Senate this morning of a resolution in
troduced by Mr.. FessendeD, Chairman
of the Senate jOinture of the above com
mittee, providing for an appropriation of
ten thousand dollars to delray such ex-
penses of travel or summoning of wit
nesses as may be incurred by the COM
mittee, looks as if some portion of the
fifteen reconstructionists were to depart
upon this journey in quest of impress
siOns at an early day.
