\ SENATORIAL BrLL.-A bill came from
the Senate to the House yesterday which
was intended to prohibit the sale of intoXi-
eating liquors within two and Il half miles

Sons OF TEMPERASCE-GRASD DIVISION
or VIRGINIA.-Thc quarterly session of
this body, which convened in this city on
Tuesday, was closed yesterday morning.
We understand that the meeting was spi-
rtcd and hopeful, and very harmonious
and pleasant. The subordinate Divisions
rcpdptcd progress. Tidings reached the
body of a waking and shaking among the
dry bones of the Order in different parts
of the State. New Divisions, or old ones
revived, are expected soon to be launched
and under way.
Resolutions were adopted which unfold
the fratcrnal. moral, religious purposes OF
the organization. In these it claims to
pursue, under Il Scriptural warrant, the
promotion OF temperance, with It's kindred
virtues. 1t will devote itself exclusively
to this cardinal object. 1t ahlurcS, III the
same breath, ungcncrouS emulation with
ncighboring associations ut home and all
concessions 10 fanatics abroad. 1t meets
nobody except on the old ground, and
knows no new principles or practices com
inc from any quarter. 1t takes as high
ground on the moral question as any other
association of temperance men, and takes
to that ground no question of sectional or
political strife. 1t seeks the welfare OF
mankind 1t desires tn be let alone, cN-
ccpt in brothcrly way.
Realizing the immense growth of intcm-
pcrancc. and the fearful evils that flow
from it, the SonS-rcafiirming the doctrine
of total abstinence as the only shield fol

Puttin. His Foot Down.

Here are two reports of the >amc graft
flying circumstance:
WA>HINGToN, April 2i.-During an in
tcrvicw this forenoon between the Prc>i-
dent aud one of the Representatives from
the keystone State, the former laid down
his policy for the future III pretty decided
language, and among other things declared
that the course he had marked out should
be sustained, if ii required Il wholesale re-
moval OF those in office who are known to
oppose him in his work of restoration.
This is the first known instance in which
the President has spoken 50 freely upon
the subject of removals in connection with
the maintenance of the principles he has
laid down.-Piiadelphjo LedyT.
The President stated to-day to a men,
bcr of Congress from Pennsylvania, who
called upon him to demonstrate against the
removal of the postmaster at PlttSburg,
that he had determined 10 remove all
Radicals who were aSSailing him and his
policy, and appoint conservative Republi-
cans. This intelligence was immediately
conveyed To a large number of Radical Re
publCanS in the House, and its announce
mcnt caused considerable tluttcring. Many
OF them seemed good deal dcmoralizcd.-
Nrtc York. World.
Adherence To this programme will make
the President master of the situation"
If he had thus taken his stand Immediately
upon vctoing the Frccdmen'S Bureau bill,
hc would ere this have had the Radicals
under his feet. Already, as we stated
yesterday, good fruit is visible in PENN
,ylvania and the same may be said of
Indiana. The Leot3er informs us that at Il
caucus Of the Indiana Republicans, held
on Monday last, four of the members de-
clared that they would not vote in favor Of
any bill or amendment looking to the
establishment of negro suffrage.

DESPERATE DrEL.-A desperate duel
was fought on Wednesday III the ncighhor-
hood OF the city, between an cX-Contrdc-
rate and Federal officer. The weapons
were pistols. and at the first fire the Fcdc-
raj received the bullet Of his antagonist
through both lungs, causing ii dangerous
and probably fatal wound. The cX-
Confederate was shot through both legs,
below the knee. the tihia at the right lee
being broken. Though serious, his hurts
are not dangerous. We believe the quar-
rel aro>c from politics. The Federal is a
native of France, whilst the cX-Contcdc-
rate is either native Frcmclman or a
Creole of French extraction, who was an
officer in Coppcm'S Louisiana battalion. and
had been publicly complimcntcd hy Cen
rral Lee om the battlefield for his gal
pantry. Ii is rumored about town that
three more ducl> were L. have bccu fought

From the Alexandria Gazette, 25th.

FROM tue AlcNallufH baletle -alH.
A scene that bcggars description oc-
Cured at the Mayors office yesterday aC
tcrnoon, which nj one time threatened TO
prove n second Norfolk affair; and nothing
but the cool decision and tact of our worthy
Mavor restrained the outraged feelings of
his officers and the citizens present. Three
negroes were arrested for some cause !;
one, Il stout, athletic fellow, resisted with
great violence, bclching forth a torrent of
abuse upon all "d-n rebel SIS of
b--s," declaring his right to enter every
and any place he chose drink i'll any
"d-n white S---n of a BIS reStau-
rant he thought proper. He boastcd that
the Civil Rights bill gave him the largest
liberty, and she be ID if he wouldn't
use il :" he cxultcd over the fact that ii
had been passed over the Presidents head,
"d-n him.
The Mayor informed the agent Of the
Frccdmcn'S Bureau, Major llamhrick, that
the fellows life was in his own hands :
that if he manifested the least violence, he
and his officers would enforce the law even
to his death. When the officers left with
the prisoner the Mayor followed down on
Royal street, opposite the cnginc-houSc,
and alone kept back the crowd of whites
which followed.
4 narrow escape was made from scene
of riot and bloodsIcd. Had the Mayor
yielded for an instant, and suffered his
outraged feelings to have scope, there is
no knowing what would have been the re-
suit. Some of our citizens were insultcd
in the most gross and violent manner, but
the MaVor appcalcd to them 10 be uuiet
and submit for the sake Of peace. Our
thoughts naturally reverted to December
-, 1868, when like tirmncSS and decision
would have spared our citizens the bitter
fruits of that unfortunate day.

TIE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE RE-
MovAL OF NUISANCES.-Thc energy which
the city ScavcngcrS and Board OF Health
have shown in clearing away the rubbish
which had 50 long been accumulatmg IN
this city, has been gratifying III the cN-
trcmc; but, if the present plan be mad
vcrtcntIy continued, it seems probable that
the remedy will he is bad a> the disease.
\ large part ot the rubbish which has been
removed from the ncighhorhood of Main
street, has been cartcd to the slip of land
living between the dock and the river, and
there turned out and, aS might have been
expected, numerous persons are already
complaining OF the unpleasant mlaSmaS,
and unhcaty odors arising from the moul-
dering mass. In the gully on the upper
end of Ninth street, and i'll Bloody Run,
large quantities of rubbish have also been
deposited.
ANY one will acknowledge that, if this
system of operations is 10 he pcrScvercd
in. il would have been better not to trou-
Bile our heaps of ashes and garbage at all
Every particle of rubbish which is collect
ed should be carted outside OF the corpo-
ration limits and empticd out in some spot
where it can no longer prove source ol
sickness or disease and, if there is any
insupcrabc obstacle to doing this, it is
hard To see the wisdom of relieving one set
of people at the expense of their next
door ncighbors. The Board of Health
have,of course had many matters OF i'm
portance in connection with the sanitary
condition of the city pressing upon their
notice, and il is certain that they will at
once remedy those abuses OF negligenccs
to which their attention is now called.
