The Richmond Times of yesterday morn

The Richmond Times of yesterday morn
ing says: .s...s
"Without intending to venture into the
arena of that butterfly battle which our
esteemed neighbors Of the Dispatch and
the Enquirer are now waging, we cannot
refrain from heartily concurring with tile
ENQUIRER in one particular. In the ap-
pointment of delegates to represent tho
Southern people in the proposed conyen-
ton, not the slightest attention should be
paid to that infamous and unconstitutional
test oath,' which very few Southern men
beyond the circle of Underwoods and
Hamiltons can take"
This is equivalent to asserting that the
Dispatch favors representation by friends
of the test oath. How utterly groundless
such an insinuation is, our own readers
already know, andehose of tho Times will
know if that paper will reproduce two SEN
fences taken from the leading editorial in
the Dispatch of Tuesday. Those two SEN
fences are the following: 81. -#
ave know that che bittercst opponents
of the test oath In the northern States arc
advocates of, and many OF, them will be
delegates TO, the Philadelphia Convention.
We know that no southern State will be
by friends Of the test OATH"
1t would be difficult to find language
too strong to characterize such o peryer-
sion Of facts, If wilful. We are glad that
We can say in oil sincerity that we do not
believe the editor Of the Times intended to
SANDER us. What say you, neighbor. i.

England on the War.

Mr.. DlsRAELI made speech to his con-
stitucnts of Buckinghamshirc on the 18th
July. AS he is Chancellor of the En-
chequer, of the Derby Ministry, his speech
was regarded with interest. With refer
cnce to the war in Europe, he said that, in
his opinion, in none Of the issues now at
stake in that war "was there any necessity
for the interference of England" In his
view, he placed that country quite indc-
pendent of the affairs Of Europe. He de-
clared that England had "outgrown the
European Continent" that she was
great maritime empire, extending to the
boundaries of the furthest ocean. While
he confessed that condition of peace on
the continent was best for England, and
that she would feel interest in the struggle
then going on upon the subject of the boun-
daries ofthe Continental Powers and while
no country had interfercd in national
affairs more than England, or had stronger
reasons to interfere, he minated that she
ought not to do so until her vital interests
were attacked or her independence me-
naced. But at this time, said he, sit is
"clearly our best course in regard to those
"great and powerful European} States
"whose interests are Immediately and di-
"rectly involved to leave them amongst
"themselves to settle their own affairs"
This is pretty clear; yet Earl DERBY put
somewhat different feature upon the duty
of England. He said in his speech to the
House of Lords: 81 trust that the past
"polcy of this country will not be so en-
"tirely departed from as that we shall
"refrain from taking an interest in the
independence of certain European States.
I" am sure that if the three great Powers
"of England, France, and Russia are
"agreed, it will be in the interests Of
"peace and to secure the independence Of
"the lesser States"

A CONVENTION FOR THIS DISTRICT
We published yesterday paragraph sta
ting that the people of Culpeper county
had appointed delegates to convention
to be held at Louisa Courthouse in August
for the purpose of selecting persons to re-
present this congressional district in the Phi.
lsdelphia Convention. The place named is
an appropriate one, being convenient Of ac-
cess from every county. We trust that
the pepolc of Richmond will hold meet
ing and have their wishes represented in
this convention.

would be a matter of little importance !;
bu. the whole nation is under the influence
Of their operations. The value of every

Though the consequences OF the speea-
lations In stocks, through sales on ''mo are
not so widespread and comprehensive as
those of the speculations In gold, they, too,
have seriously injurious influences. The
principles of dishonesty which appear In
the one control the other. There Is the
same speculation for rise or fall. The
same effort to depreciate the value Of other
peoples property, or to give q false value
to securities, which is disturbing in its
influences and leads men to disap.
pointment and ruin. This pernicious sys-
tenn ssps the morals Of the more influential
classes of commercial communities; for 1t
has become established, and its arts and
devices arc approved in respectable socie.

verts millionaires to paupers with equal ia
cility. But the tickle society that has been
educated to these reverses, and has learned
to worship wealth, can smile and bend to
the new CRG.sUs as readily as it can show
the old one the door to take his place witt!
the outcasts of the great metropolis.
Could it be possible to put an end to
these time dealings in gold and stockS-to
make sales veritablc transfers of what i
bought and sold--it would be great day
for the nation that on which such regu.
lation took effect would be day Of ma.
tional independence from tyranny OF
money dealers and spectators as dishonest
and odious as ever cursed a people. Ii
would secure something like reliability and
steadiness to money matters, and would
close the door to mass of fraud and
temptation to embezzlement, forgery, and
every species of stealing and misappro.
priation, the most monstrons that the world
ever saw.

The Equality Of the States.

The clearcst definition yet laid before the
public of the relations Of the States and
the General Government upon the termi-
nation Of the waHis that from the pen of
Judge B. r. CURTIS, late member Of the
Supreme Court, published in tho Dispatch
Of yesterday morning. Assuming that
ours Il national or consolidated govern
ment, 1t Il positively unanswerablc. The
mode Of fixing tho period Of the conclu-
sion Of the war Is as clearly settled by the
same paper. It is an affair that belongs,
as the Judge says, to the President Of the
United States, as the commander of the
army and the head Of the Executive De-
partment. Notrue jurist who understands
the Constitution, freed from prejudice and
partisanry, can entertain any other OPT
nion. Mono other squares with the Con-
stitution or with republican government.
To make the States conquered provinces
ends the system and destroys the Constitu-
tion. But taking the only true ground,
the one presented by Judge CURTIS, that
the States are part of tho Republic, and
cannot he destroyed as such in their rela-
tons to the Federal Government, the mat
ter is easy Of solution. AS soon as the
Federal Executive declares the war ended
and the "rebellion suppressed, the
States may organize their republican 60
vcrnments without the aid Of "an enabling
act by Congress" and that body has no
constitutional right to interfere "to pro-
"hibit or regulate the organization of such
government by the people of an existing
"!State.''
This is constitution and law, and the
only true republican logic. 1t is on this
ground that We of the South have con-
tended that all Acknowledgement Of citizens
and all test oaths were unconstitutional
and uDjust-entirely destructive of the
equality of republicanism. The govern
ments, State or Federal, have no right to
make such distinctions. The people have
either ceased to war, and are loyal to the
Central Government; or war must be de-
clared still in existence, and they must be
governed by military authority. But the
war is ended by declaration of the Execu-
tive-the people are loyal-and the OBJ
struction of their rights under the Consti-
tuition is violent and revolutionary, and
tends to the destruction Of the system of
government established by our forefathers.
The ground Of the South, then, is the
solid ground of Judge CURTIs's great paper.
The people Of the States in their majesty
arc entitled to be regarded as the ruling
and governing power-they accept the
situation loyalty they acknowledge defeat
of resistance and the obligation Of fealty to
the National Constitution and laws. 1t is
in this spirit that they will go to the Phila-
delphia Convention, not fearing the chime
ras of questions at the door or test oaths
intended to exclude them. They will 60
there upon the principles Of the CURTIS
papcr-as true conservative citizens desi-
rous Of restoring equality to tho States and
peace to the nation-and they will, We are
sure, be ready to adopt this paper Of the
distinguished Massachusetts, judge as the
platform of the great national party which
is endcavoring to save the Republic.

Gold Gambling, &c.

The New York Exchange passed last
week the following resolution, which took
effecton Monday:
Resolved, That no member Of this Ex-
change shall, directly or indirectly, trans.
act business in gold publicly on the streets
or sidewalks, or passages to the rooms OF
the Exchange, nor in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Any member violating this rule
shall be suspended from the privileges OF
the Exchange for thirty days. This reso.
luton shall take effect on and after Mon.
day, July 49,"
This displays strong determination Oh
the part Of this clique Of gamblers to con.
fine gambling as much as possible to the
Exchange. They do not intend to allow
the fraternity TO refresh themselves with an
occasional operation outside. They are
not to do so in the streets, nor on the side
walks, nor in the passages leading to the
Exchange, nor in the Fifth Avenue Hotel
They must come like pious worshippers to
the Temple of Mammon and there partici-
pate reverentially in the sacrifice Of Bull
or Bear, as the case may be.
Ifby the exercise of some high authority
this gambling in gold could be prohibited
also at the Gold Board, great national
blessing would be the result. The present
system Of dealing in gold in New York is
pernicious to the last degree. It's destrrc-
tive to public morals and disturbing to the
finances, the credit, and the confidence Of
the country. The spectators at the Board
are downright gamblers--nothing more nor
less. And innocent persons, the public
nay, the nation-suffer from the alternate

those tricks and articles which are CON-
mon amongst the spectators but which
