Incredible rs the statement may appear II
is nevertheless now considered extremely
doubtful whether the STEVENS amendment to
the Constitution can secure sufficient mum
Der of votes in the Senate 10 make il even a
proposition " TO the States. Hear what the
Washington correspondent Of the New York
Times says:
"It appears now almost certain that the
Joint resolution will fail TO receive two
thirds vote in its favor in the Senate. Among
those who have openly announced their pur-
pose TO oppose it, are Senators Howe and
Yates, and il is said all the Radical members
will vote against the resolution"
We thought this amendment had more life
in it, else we had not so unceremoniously pune
tured it. We had not intended 20 take the life,
but merely the wind, out of 1t. Il thought II
had been the king" said HAMLET after Staying
poor old PoLoSIus. Can't our friend IHAD.
resuscitate 1t in the House in case the Senate
should Kill 1t in its end of the capitol' II not,
what is 10 become of the southern "upper
classes" who had hoped, by means Of this
amendment, TO Improve upon their favorite
theory OF keeping the government In the hands
Of the aristocratic few"l

1.-The Legislature of Virginia protest that
they are thoroughly loyal, and intend TO
remain so. Let us hope that they are but it
ever elect to office any one who was not rebel.
Why don they let 'by-gones be y-gones " p
Net0 York Tribune.
Can't the Tribune understand that 1t is
because they are willing to let "by-gones be
by-gones, " that the Virginia Legislature elects
such men rs it does to fill the public offices.
In n word, the members vote for their
acquaintances. The fact that these acquaint-
ances may have been Rebels, is a matter which
should not be considered. Let us illustrate
Mr.. DAyIs's appointments to office during the
war We're said to have been made too generally
from among those men who had been proni-
nent in the Democratic party. The fact was
undeniable; yet Mr.. DAVIS did not appoint
these men for the reason that they had been
Democrats, but because, having been associated
with them in that party, they were those whose
qualifications and claims were best known TO
him. So with the members of the Virginia
Legislature; they did not vote for candidate
for any particular office because he had been a
Rebel, but because they were totally unac-
quainted with the qualifications or merits OF
the strangers TO them who were, in some
instances, nominated. Is the Tri6une's ques-
tion answeredY

ment, will receive liberal wages /; that they
will have opportunities for the education of
their children, and equal political rights and
privileges with the rest oGthe community.
The Germans and Irish constitute, in general,
the great mass of emigrants, and il is proba-
BILE, in consequence of the disturbed state of Ire
land, that we shall this year have even larger
accession of that people 10 America than in
any former year. The journals published by
Europeans in the North might do their own
countrymen and MS n service by calling the
attention of their countrymen to the want of
labor in Virginia, and to the pre-eminent
inducements which she offers to immigration.
But we must not trust to Others, however
friendly. We must put forth ourselves the
most active and intelligent exertions, and
adopt practical, energetic measures for secu.
ring the end In view.

WHISKY RoGUEs Morris Johnston and Jim
Fagau, negroes, were arrested on yesterday
charged with stealing barrel OF whisky
valued at one hundred and sixty-eight dol

since, and subsequently released, in the absence
of proof against him. Mr.. McGrain had en-
ployed him to take the whisky to his place
of business on his dray. He had left his dray
for few moments, and in his absence the

street, until, coming in contact with lamp
post the buggy was literally smashed up"

from the buggy before the horse had fairly
gotten under way, and escaped unhurt.

THE ST. JAMES CONCERT.-The concert on
Tuesday night at st. James was n success. A
large and apprecative audience filled the
house, and the music that entertained them
was we'll selected and well performed The
opening piece on the organ, however, failed 10
call forth the deep toned solemnity and gran
deur of that noble instrument. 1t was mere
noise-a continued succession of unmeaning
changes, void of subject or melody 1t was
also q matter of regret that the selections OF
sacred music were accompanied by the piano
instead of the organ.
"Holy Mother Guide His Footsteps" was
sung with great taste and expression. All,
so Pure" was given with fine effect by a clear,
sweet soprano voice. Might Shades No
Longer" chorus from "Moses in Egypt
was well sung, but the instrument failed to
give the proper accent and punctuation to its
wild and beautiful accompaniment.
Space does not permit us to speak Of I'll the
pieces. Those, however, that were best, and
which called forth most strongly the admira-
ton of the house, were the trio " Te sol Isl
anina," "Pro peccdtiS," from the " SaJat .h-
ter,' and the closing piece, "Glory be TO God
OH High" from Mozarts twelfth mass.

Federal soldiers proceeded to the house of Mrs.

creants made good their escape If any man

The President and the Virginia Vagrant Law.
1t having been reported in some newspaper
that Governor PEIRPoIEF was officially
informed that 1t would meet the appreciation
of the President If the Virginia vagrant law
were vetoed, the National htelligencer of yester-
day disposes of the matter as follows:
1--WE state upon competent authority that
between the President and Governor Peir-
point no conference was had, officially or
otherwise, touching the vagrant law in ques-
ton and IL seems necessary 10 add that, by
the Constitution of Virginia, the Executive has
no participation whatever in legislation, and
does not sign, and could much less veto, any
bill from the Legislature"
This latter fact we have previously stated in
connection with the same report.
