TERMS OF ApvKItfntlto
Prom our Reporter in .h., Town.

It. o. F.--Tbe following is the list Of
the IA. 'ional officers Of the Henderson
Lodge OF our town. Appointments by N.
g.: X. S., J. s. Rye; L. S., W. E. vsden;
W., w. J. Jones; c., James A. Gentry
I. g., Henry Wrenn; 0. G., J. B. Tibls.
Appointments by V. g.: X. S., James W.
Craig; l.. s., A. A. Smith.
CELEBRATION or TIE FOuRTH.-On to-
day the pic-nic of Henderson Lodge comes
off. Extensive preparations will be made,
and it is expected that the affair will Dc
very pleasant one. The picnic will take
place at Wards grove; and we are re-
auested to say that there will be no regu.
lar procession formed, but all parties can
report at the place Of resort at their own
pleasure. The committee Of arrangements,
Messrs. Waugh, Wrenn, and Gentry, have
been very busy gathering in good things
and our friends may prepare their palates
for something decidedly rich.
On tonight the Arlington Club wind up
the festivities with q select ".soiYee dan
sante" at their usual rendezvous, and from
the well known reputation that this Club
enjoys, and their experience in such mat
tiers, we shall look for much mirth and en-
joyment.
| TRusTEEs.-The Trustees on Wednes
day night passed the revised ordinance,
reducing the police force from eight to
five, and increasing the pay Of the chief to
,cvcnty-fve dollars and the police to fifty
dollars per month. Spencer 7. Hancock
was elected chief, and Messrs. Frank jar
Wis, A. J: Wells, A. J. Simmons, and
George w. Lowell, policemen. The re.
| tiring officers have merited much praise
by their uniform good conduct and strict
attention to duty, and we regret that our
Town Fathers have found it necessary to
dispense with their services in order to
make both ends meet. Mr.. II. Fitzgerald,
Jr., is still X. pt in charge Of the town hands.
The Board will meet again Wednesday,
July IL. The president was absent on ac-
count of sickness.
| SUNDAY SCHO0L.-By very hard exer.
tions, the masculine portion of the Bap-
tist Sunday school succeeded in again
leading their fair opponents on last Sab
bath. They will have to work with great
energy or their competitors will yet out.
strip them. We look upon this contest
! with great pleasure and pride because We
believe that it not only adds interest TO the
school, but also conduces to its welfare.
| Both the Baptist and Methodist schools
are in very good condition, the latter being
more prosperous than ever at any time
before. Messrs. Cosby and Redtord, su.
pcrintendents, are Jealous working men,
and they are assisted by an able corps OF
officers. Long may they thrive, prosper,
and increase.

NEW FEATURE IN LIFE INsrRANCE.-We
would cali attention to the circular from
the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York (of which Mr.. o. F. Bresee is
general agent for this State), and remark
that the subject Of that circular removes
many objections formerly made to lite in
surance, as by this method the insured can
make the investment for his or her heirs
SO that it will be paid to them during life
in stated annual investments, thereby doing
away with the danger Of bad investments
and incompetent management by admins
traitors, executors, Sc, sc.
We have also seen statement made
from the twenty-threc years experience
of this company, showing what a ten-thou
sand-dollar policy on a man aged thirty
five would be worth in twenty-five years,
and find that it would be, on a regular
whole-term life policy, s22, 1880; on u
lie policy, ten-year plan, 24,75l.46; and
reckoning thus, and seeing what small
annual premium will secure all this to the
heirs of the insured, we do not see why
every one does not take out policy on
their lives, especially when it is seen
that the company has an accumulation of
over $l6, 900, 900, all the property of the
insured (policy -holders) and annual re-
ceipts of 100000 to guarantee the faith
ful performance of the contracts. We
would recommend this mode of invest
ment to our readers as a subject worthy of
their attention. Office of the company
under the Farmers National Bank, first
door east of the post-oflice.

DEFINES HIS PosIrION.-Thomas F
Bowie, well-kn own Democrat Of Prince
Georges county, having been suggested as
a candidate to succeed Mr.. Harris in Con.
gress, says he does not know whether he
will be candidate or not. He, however
like some other men, "defines his status '
on national questions, and says:
"Andrew Johnson will find in me warm
friend and advocate. look upon him a.
the only hope of ruined and distracted
country. He shall be my candidate for the
next presidency, and in this shall hare tn
entire South and an uabroken Democracy cue
rurhere."
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-07-04

OTHER ENDORsEMENTs.-The Staunton
Spectator of yesterday says of the pro-
posed National Convention:
at behooves all who desire a re-
united country and the restoration of a
perfect peace to bestir themselves in this
matter. No southern State must hang
back and Virginia especially should at
once take the proper steps to be ftly re-
presented in the Convention. Her ex.
ample will be followed at once by her
southern sisters, and the enthusiasm of an
oppressed people at the prospect of a
rescue will inspire all who respect, pity,
or sympathize with them."
And the Lewisburg Times says:
"Too long has the President been left to
struggle, almost unaided, with the mad
torrent of fanaticism, and we rejoice to
learn that the people have at last aroused
from their listless apathy, and, girded for
the conflict, arc rushing to the rescue"
The Petersburg Express Of yesterday,
speaking Of the call for National Con-
vention, uttcrs the following practical
views:
"While some Of the principles enun-
ciated may be expected to be distasteful
to the South, yet on the whole they are so
comprehensive that we do not think the
invitation should be declined on that &C
count. The great object now is to restore
the Government to constitutional basis,
in which the southern people are as deeply
interested as any other part OF the coun.
try-and much more so, indeed, on &C
cn,nt of her nolifical diSfranchisemept
One thing is very certain, that she can
never voluntarily accept the terms Of re-
construction offered by Congress in the re.
cent constitutional amendments. Better
remain out of the Union forever than to
enter it on unequal or dishonorable
grounds.
As wise policy therefore indicates SO
clearly the necessity of reunion at the
earliest period, We cannot but hail the pro-
position Tor the Philadelphia Convention
with favor, and express the hope that the
South will be fully represented therein"

RICHMOND, July 3, 1866.
To the Elttors of the Richmond Dispatch


To the Elitors Of the Richmond Dispatch:
Gentlemen,-In your issue OF to-day
your local columns contain 4 passing refer
ence to the attachment suit Of A. Vance
Brown, Esq, President Of the National
Exchange Bank of this place, against
Bayne s. Co.; and the petition OF Will
liam Remington, plea against Mr.. Brown
to test the validity and propriety of this
attachment process, based as it was on
the charge, made on oath by Mr.. Brown, of
fraud on the part Of the parties proceeded
against.
On the hearing of the application for a
nuanddmns petitioned for by Mr.. Reming.
ton to require A. Vance Brown to trans
fer the one hundred shares Of stock, your
paper, in the local column, gave some
what extended account of the proceedings,
extracted from the answer of A. Y.
Brown, which was in many respects un-
Just to the parties alluded to in your arti-
Gle under the head of Baync Co. i'll the
Richmond Courts"
1t is but Just, in this connection, that
your paper should publish the fact, not ex-
pressed in your article of this morning,
that Mr.. Brown dismissed the attachment
voluntarily, being satisfied, Ipresumc, from
his own assurances, that the charges made
in his application for an attachment, and
his answer to the rule to show cause, &C.,
was incorrect and without proper founda.
| tion and that neither in law nor in fact
had Mr.. Remington, Bayne & Co., or in.
deed any other person connected with the
transfer of the said stock, been directly OIL
indirectly guilty Of fraud, duplicity, ol
other improper intentions. This explana
tion is rendered necessary in view Of the
language used in your article referring t.
the mandanus case. desire that you vii
publish this note, and also refer to your
former article, which somehow appeared
| in some of the Baltimore papers.
Respectfully, JoHN ii. GILNER.

bus fitted up for hotel in one OF the towns

with dropped Confederate flags. Even
Maine, loyal as he is, has made q compro.
mise, and thus the coach of the Ballard

This southern spirit has hung the walls OF
Virginia dwellings and places of public re.
sort with portraits Of the rebel chief and
with the copies Of his farewell address to
the Army of Northern Virginia hand
somely engrossed and framed.
The intolerance and folly of the Rich
mond press has long been subject Of won
der in the north, but that is asaenothing
compared with the spirit that is displayed
in the Richmond mercantile circles. Live
and let live" is a precept of commercial
honor practiced in every case, even here,
except when the case Is that of a northern
or Union merchant; then the reverse is
true, and the one more unfortunate is
pounded with merciless rigor down the road
to ruin.
This southern spirit grows with wonder
ful rapidity, and its most fruitful feeders
are the Memorial Associations. These or.
ganizations, started at first with the purest
motives, and originated in the noblest im-
pulses of humanity, have now become no.
thing more than potent political engines in
the hands of the most unscrupulous Demo
Gratis. On every occasion now when the
ladies 90 out to the graves Of their dead
some one ofthcse gentry accompanies them
and makes speech, wherein he adroitly
inculcates hatred of the North and of the
Government as the most proper manner OF
showing respect for the dead. These me-
mortal days have now become painfully
frequent, and on every one of them re.
cruits are gathered to the Democratic ban.

There are indications, however, that the
Unionists intend very soon to take up the
gauntlet and wage an aggressive war upon
their assailants, but do not feel at liberty
to give the facts in my possession, as pub
licity Just now would do more harm than
good. Give the Unionists press and an
org. ization, and do not fear even the
late unprecedented growth of " southern
spirit"

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT UPON CHILD BY
A NEGRo.-On Monday afternoon, whilst a
party of little boys were playing near the
corner of First and Cary streets, a negro
boy tired on the foot of little son Of Mr..
John Knowles, City Gas Inspector. The
child, maddened in the instant with pain,
pushed the negro boy from him, and he
fell to the ground. Isaac Goode, negro,
who was standing by at the time, came up
and slapped little Knowles in the face. His
brother, lad of about twelve years, natu-
rally becoming enraged at this, attacked
the negro tiercely. The negro seized him
by his throat and legs, and slamming him
to the ground, commenced to beat him un-
mercifully. Fortunately at this time two
gentlemen arrived and commenced to adj
minister summary justice to the brute,
but the police arrived shortly afterwards
and carried the negro to Jail. He was
arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, and
in the absence of witnesses the case was
continued until tomorrow.

persevere in the work they have already sc
well begun, and remember that until it ].
finished their duty to their dead comrades
is as stern and sacred as it ever was.

is no law in that county; and the reason
there is no law there is that he will not

will not appoint judge is that there is
nobody there "loyal" enough to deserve
that honor at his hands.-Nelr York World
