General TerrY's Order.

Tho mir and Enquirer of yesterday morning
..ss,on "a the remarkable fact that the
!, :, az tho Virginia Legislature which Generai
Ta..x has nrohibited to be enforced In this
S,,,e, IN refereuce to blaeks-or rather that
mart OF IL especially objected to by the Gene
ral--.is copied verbatim from the Pennsylvania
co5, The remainder Of the iaw was taken
from the law passed by the Virginia Legisla-
ture In 1850, when there were no freedmen,
and when the law could not have been intended
for any such persons. In fact, the law Is
applicable to all persons, without distinction
of color We have seen white men convicted
Of yagrancy under the old law, and publicly
hired out. The present law is the extension OF
the old to the freedmen, and has the addition
of the following from the Pennsylvania oooe
LAWS or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY DUNLOP
PAGE 636.
The following described persons shall be
liable to the penalties imposed by law upon
Migrants:
into any dist rict whence they have been legally
removed without bringing certifcate from
the city or district to which they belong.
. All persons who, not having wherewlth
to maintain themselves and their families,
live idly and without employment, AND REFUSE
TO WORK FOR THE USUAL AND COMMON WAGES
THE PLACE WHERE THEY THEN ARE.
s. All persons who shall refuse TO perform
the work which shall be allotted to them by
the oyerseers OF the poor as aforesaid.
l. All persons going about from door TO door,
or placing themselves In streets, highways or
other roads TO beg or gather aims, ana Ill
other persons wandering abroad and begging.
5. All persons who shall come from any
place without this Commonwealth TO any
place within it, and shall be found lettering
and residing therein, and shall follow no
labor trade, occupation or business, and have
no visible means of subsistence, ana can give
no reasonable account of themselves or their
business in such place.
These provisions are copied rerbotim into the
Virginia law, and contain the part quoted by
General TERRY in his order rs especially
obnoxious viz 'All persons who, not having
"thc wherewith to support their families,
olive idly and without employment, a'd rJuSe
"to ,oork for tie usual and common ,odgeS gtcen to
'otter l50rerS in tie like trOik, La the place totere
"heyt1 are"
The italics in the quotation are the Gene
rails That Virginia should have provoked
the intervention of the military power by
reproducing law from the Code of that most
loyal of States-Pennsylvania-i circum-
stance which may excite, 1T least, surprise.

The Conversion Bill.

II the General Assembly could find 1t in its
heart to be converted, it would do great deal
OF good by re opening the question Of autho-
rizing the holders of registered bonds to
change them into coupon bonds. There is
really no argument whatever against the
change, while IL would be very beneficial to
many Of our own citizens who hold the regis
tered stock. This stock, owing to the form OF
transferring on the books here when sale Is
made, cannot be sold in New York nor any
where save In Richmond and this fact has
always kept II at least ten per cent lower in
the market than the coupons. Nor can the
Registered be used a. collateral TO effect loans
IN the large cities. Now, what 10 the diflcuI,y

The Fenians in Ireland.

1t stated by the London correspondent of
the New York Times that, since the division
in the New York Irish Republic, the British
Government is becoming ashamed OF the pro-
secutions of the Fenians, and will probably
order them to be abandoned. The Jamaica
business has superseded Fenianism in public
interest and Earl RUSSELL, with the charac-
teristic suppleness of politicians, isat present
playing for the support of the whole Irish
Liberal representation. The correspondent
thinks they have probably heard the last of
the Fenians in England until we read that her
Majesty has graciously extended her pardon 10
those who have been copspring against her.
But the real wrongs of Ireland are bringing
champions into the field who may avail them
selves of Earl RUssELL's present inclination to
fish in Irish waters, and who have better
prospect of accomplishing redress of grie-
yances by new political combinations, and by
the influence of reason and argument, than
could ever be achieved by an Irish insurrec-
ton or a foreign invasion. A very important
speech has been lately made by Sir JOHN
GRAY, a Protestant, who has been elected
to Parliament from the Catholic city of Kill
kenny. Sir JOHN said in this speech that
he should do his best TO unite the liberal
Irish and English votes in Parliament for the
removal of the Irish Protestant Church Esta-
blishment--the church of only eleven per cent
OF the population. After Il trial OF three hun
dred years, with the aid Of all the ecclesiasti-
cal revenues of Ireland, and such rs could be
collected i'm England, Ireland is more catholic
to-day than at any time in two centuries. The
penal laws and conflscations only convinced
few landholders of the errors OF their ways,
and even then relapsed when the penal laws
were repealed 50 that forty-two per cent. of
the landed proprietors are now Roman Catho-
lies In 1880 the parish of ST. IyERBuRGH's, in
which Dublin Castle Is situated, had two hun
dred and thirty ,nine householders-an Protes.
taut except twenty. eight householders. In
1861 there were only 694 individuals OF the Pro.
testant Established Church, and 1880 Roman
Catholics In the whole diocese OF Dublin the
Protes tants do not cons titute one third OF the
population. Out Of the whole Irish popula-
ton Of 6,79s,967, the Established Church has
only population Of SAB. There are 100
Irish parishes with not single member of
the Established Church, and 575 parishes
where the members, including the parsons,
clerks, &C., vary from l TO DO When Sir JOHN
GRAY, with the aid Of Mr.. BRiamr, and posi-
Diy VI Earl RUSSELL himself, brings the Eng
iish parliament TO look sqnareiy at such facts
as these, we can scarcely doubt the removal of
scandal such rs exists no v here in the world
except In England, which boasts so graniiy of
her political and religious liberties.
We are the more encouraged In this belief

President Johnson-Virginia Sentiment

During the full fury of the struggle that is
now going on between the Radical party OF
the North and the supporters of the policy of
the Administration-as struggle in which every
man from the st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande
must take part-no voice that speaks with
force enough to be heard above the clamor OF
the conflict can fail to bring its words of cheer
and encouragement to one side, and of gloom
and confusion to the other.
Such voice has spoken in the Senate of
Virginia 1t has spoken clearly and unequl-
yocally. Not in the shape of mere resolutions
of endorsement and support, but by the manly
utterances Of men acting separately and indie
pendently, each speaking out his own views
and the feeling of his constituency. During
the progress of the debate on the bills which
have just pas sed the Senate fixing the status
Of the colored population of Virginia, one
Senator stated that he felt it to be his duty to
enact such laws on this subject rs accorded
with the policy of Pr esident JOHNSON; and
one after another the. Senators from all parts
of the State rose and spoke out for the people
that they represented. Their words were
frank and true. All bitterness and rancor Of
feeling are rapidly passing away, and the
whole country is deeply impressed with the
belief that only in the policy OF President
JOHNSON can there ever be union and harmony
restored between the sections so lately engaged
in strife, or any prosperity in that section
which has felt most keenly the ravages that
mark the red pathway of war. Neutrality
and apathy, too, are less seen. Men feel that
not to be cordial supporter Of the President
is to be against him. That a mere negative
listlessness is almost as embarrassing to him
as open opposition, and that, above all, while
he is standing between them and the horde
that are bowling for the destruction OF the
little that war has left, they ought not 10 seek
to fetter his arm or neutralize his efforts.
The attitude of the President now is one
that fairly calls for our respect and sympathy.
A large and powerful division of the party that
called him into power is now in open opposi-
ton to him. Much of the fury that would be
directed against us falls upon him, because he
opposes their cruel and tyrannical measures
He has borne their worst rage, and still bears
it,-for the conflict is not yet decided,-and so
far he has stood like q rock, against which the
surges of fanaticism and malice have only
beaten themselves into foam without shaking
his calm and steadfast determination. If the
words that Virginia speaks come to his ear,
they must cheer his hopes and strengthen his
resolution, for he knows that as she has been
foe TO fear, she now can be friend to cling to-
