Charter Elections.

Next Wednesday is the day appointed for
the charter elections. Some days since we
took occasion to speak Of the Importance OF
these elections, and urged upon rejecting citi-
zenS to interest themselves so far as to aid in
the formation of good tickets in the several
wards, and, by all means, to vote. The new
charter extends the term of offices of many OF
the municipal officers from one TO four years.
All Of the more important officers, except the
Mayor, are now elected by the Council and the
change created by the new charter the benefit
it was designed to confer, it is essential that
intelligent, respectable and useful men shall be
chosen to represent the city in those two
bodies. II an unworthy or incompetent officer
shall be placed in office, he will be saddled
upon us for four years, aud we should, there
fore, elect to the appointing bodies men who
will not be likely to confer appointments upon
such persons We again urge upon our citi-
zens the duty Of attending the polls and of vo-
ting for good men; especially do we urge this
upon the old citizens of Richmond, who, more
/ than any others, should take both interest and
/ pride in securing and maintaining aresPectablC
and efficient municipal Government. Most o
them were born and reared here; their prop
erty and families are here, and here they will
in all probability, live and die. If they sta!
from the polls, as they too often do, and leave
the election in the hands of temporary sojourn
erS and adventures who, in most instances
care nothing for the respectability and goo,
order of the city, they will have nobody bu
themselves to blame if the city Government
falls into unworthy hands.

New Jersey Politics.

WAsHNGToE, March 30.-Seyeral reports from
Trenton say that Mr.. Scovel, of the Senate, voted
with the Democrats in preventing joint meeting to
elect Senator in place of Mr.. Stockton, recently
ruled out of the United States Senate. 1t is said
that Mr.. Scovel, who holds the "balance Of power
in the New Jersey Legislature, has announced him
self as in favor of the Presidents policy.
PHILADELPHIA, March Ex-senator Ludlow, Of
Cumberland county, New Jersey, who offered re-
solution to go into joint meeting in the New Jersey
Senate, on Wednesday next says that the recently
published dispatches in regard to the vote on that
subject might lead to mistake and explains that
the vote was ten in favor of the resolution and nine
against it, and that the resolution was lost because
of previous resolution which had been passed, by
Mr.. Scovel voting with the Democrats to make q
majority of the whole number, eleven votes being
necessary to pass the resolution. The ten votes
given in favor of going into joint meeting composed
all the members elected as Republicans, except Mr.
Scove who voted with the Democrats against it.

The New Jersey Senatorial Question

United States Senator on Wednesday next When
il came to the Senate it was lost by vote of to

the resolution he said, till he knew the man. He
wanted a Radical, and no more conservatism, which
had cost the country enough. He believed that Mr.
stockton was in truth entitled to his seat He was
willing to support any eminent soldier for United
States Senator, or eminent civilian, such as Judge
Vandyke, Judge Field, or Dudley G. s. Gregory
but he refused to be bound by the political action

take the responsibility and appeal to the people
whose servant he was. They would vindicate hi;
course Mr.. Scovel holds the balance of power in

party vote.

Letter from Colonel LamOn-What he Says of Mr..
Lincoln and Reconstruction-The Veto and the
Senate-New Jersey SenatorshiP.
WASHINGTON, March 29th.-COlOnel Lamon, late
marshal of this District, and the intimate, cOniiden
tial friend of President Lincoln, writes q letter
which will be published in the InteiHgeHter stating
Il quote the wOrds,) THAT he is entirely certain
from Mr.. Lincolns repeated declarations that he
would have eXerted all his authority, power and in
fuence to bring about an immediate reconciliation
between the two sections of the country As far as
depended upon him. he would have had the South
ern States represented in both houses of Congress
within the shortest possible time. Mr.. Lincoln knew
the base designs of the radicals to keep up the strife
for their own advantage, and he was determined to
thwart them, as he himself told me Often
Speculation is rife to-day touching the probable
vote upon the veto message. When the vote was
taken upon the former veto it stated that two or
three votes more might have been obtained for if
necessary. Perhaps Mr.. Sherman was somewhat
looked TO in that direction but it is known that in
addition TO his wretched course in Connecticut he
adds that of great violence and denunciation of the
President for his endorsement of the letter of Post
master Cleveland
There is some doubt whether, after all, a radical
will be returned from New Jersey; and if not the
requisite two thirds may not be got to overpower the
| President. A vote will probably be hazarded by
the radical Senators before the result of the Connec.
ticut election is known. If not then that result
will influence Senators.

Lull in Congress-The Connecticut Election and
Negro Sufrage-Effect in Congress of the Re-
sult-OVerriding the Veto, &c.
TCorrespondence of the Baltimore Sum-

WASHINGTON, March ga lull in Congressional
proceedings will follow the Senate exploit OF eject
ing Mr. Stockton and the shock of the veto message.
The House will not be full for a week or more, as
has been stated by of its members. 1t is sea-
son when members like opportunity, if possible,
to visit their homes. Besides, Congress takes as
much interest in the Connecticut election as in the
grand object of negro suffrage. If they carry the
former, they will ensure the latter Connecticut
last fall gave six thousand majority against negro
suffrage in that Republican State. If the Republic
cans again carry it, Congress will be encouraged to
insist on negro suffrage.
The New York Tribune declares that the veto
message renders it absolutely necessary that the
blacks should be protected by giving them the right
of suffrage.
If the Connecticut election is carried as it proba
bly, will be- by the Republicans, it will be claimed
as the victory of radicalsm. This will humble and
discourage the few Republicans who have manifested
conservative proclivities We shall witness its mis-
chievous effects in all the future political legislation
Of Congress.
Senators are now in Connecticut, deeming their
duties there Of more Importance than those in the
Senate for the present On Monday perhaps, they
will hear arguments against the veto message, and
on Tuesday, if their new recruits are all in place.
they will override the Presidents message.
The bankrupt bill will be tried again in a fuller
House Some of its friends regard it with less in
terest now than they did before it was so essentially
modified.

SMALLPOX and Cholera-Precautions i'm Virginia

FORT MONROE VA, March 2S-The military and

diton of the freedmen and other inhabitants of the
peninsula. Smallpox introduced by the returning
colored Texan troops, has made its appearance but
not to such an extent to excite alarm and measures
have been adopted by which patients will be taken
care of and further extension of the disease pre-
vented. Tents have been ordered to be put up fol

will be taken charge of by guard detailed for the
purpose and set to work clearing the country the

A New Book PoR SCHOoLs.-We make our
Acknowledgements to Messrs. A. H. Christian 4
Co., Main street, for the Hand Book of Latin
Poetry" by Professors Hanson and Rolfe, from
the press of Crosby & Ainsworth, Boston. This
is an inappropriate companiontoth "Prepardtory
Latin Prose Book" of the same authors, and
owes its existence to the general and urgent
solicitations of teachers, occasOned by that
volume In times like the present, when the
ravages of war admOnsh and cOnstrain the
Southern people, lin the words of DR.. Frank
ln,) "to light the lamp of economy, it should
not be lightly dsregarded that the amount of
Latin poetry necessary for admission into most
of the colleges of the country may be secured
by the purchase of one book instead of three.
But the " Hand Book" has more substantial
merits. It's selections, characterized by judg-
ment and taste, are drawn from the works of
Ovid, of Virgil, and of Horace after the text,
respectively of Loers, Of Conington, and OF
Macleane. The graceful elegance and versa
tility of Ovid are illustrated from his MetdmOr-
phOSeS and his TriUia. The former supplies
thirteen of the stories in which the weird ira
ditions of the mytholOgiSt seem only to have
quickened the creative force of the poet; and
the latter is laid under contribution for the
Eleqy, in which the exiled author, dying of
heart-break, sketches his chequered life and
bemoanS his evil fortunes. Virgil exemplities
his command oflanguage, beauty OfverSifcation
and skill in the management of the materials
of poetry, by six eclogues from the BucOlics,
the two first books ofthe Georges, and the first
six of the Eneid thus appearing as the rival of
Theocritus in pictures ofpaStoral life of HeSiod
in delineations ofagricultural affairs, and of HO
mer in the elevation of epic narrative. In
point of time the first, Horace was also, in point
of merit, the greatest of Roman Wrists and his
airy and playful grace his subtle insight into
character his large and genial views of life ;
his maxims of practical wisdom, enforced by
exquisite felicity of expression, embOdy them
selves in forty-siX of the Odes, four of the Ep-
odes, five of the satires, seven of the Epistles,
the Secular Hymn and the Art of Poetry.
Turning over the pages which have made
Rome even more imperial in the modern world
than her arms made her in the ancient, we
have been nSensibly betrayed into forgetful-
ness of their present editors. We return to
these to say that the notes, which occupy half
the volume, and have been gathered and con-
densed from the best authorities, are admira-
bly fitted to serve the purposes of elementary
drill while they sufficiently indicate higher
critical questions, to awaken an interest in the
whole range of classical Roman literature, his
tory and life.
