A PLAIN spoken Western preacher de-
ilivered the following from his desk. II
would announce to the congregation that,
probably by mistake, there was left at this
meeting house, this morning, a small cot
ton umbrella, much damaged by time and
wear, and of an exceedingly pale blue
color, In the place whereof was taken a.
large silk umbrella, and of great beauty.

are getting little too cotnmon.''o NO 'A'

Marvel in Boston.

A most unheard of crime has been CON-
mitted in Boston a crime against human
rights, and "moral IDEAS" and the pro-
gress of the species. At tire tate city cleo
tons, as we announced at the time, the
negro voters supported the Democratic
candidates. Nay, the African citizens
even set up a Democratic candidate of
their own complexion in one ward against
a pale-faced Republican, and sustained
him so zealouSly that there was tie vote
In other wards, too, the success of the Re-
publican candidates was seriously en-
dangered, to the very great scandal and
horror Of the philanthropiStS of that city.
One journalist expresses himself thus upon
the painful subject:
This desertion on the part OF the ColorCd
men OF the only true and really judicious
friends they have is 10 be regretted chiefly on
their own account. 1t may temporarily an
uoy, but cannot seriously disturb the kcpub
lican party. If the black men prove them
selves unreasonable, and 20 over 10 our and
their enemies at this most interesting crisis in
the effort making for their elevation, they will
exhblt Il want of wisdom and discretion which
VIII add powerfully 10 the arguments used
against them"
We are not so sure that it will add to the
arguments against them; rather to those
in their favor, on the contrary. But on
this point conclusions will differ according
to the point of views. To northern Demo-
Gratis now, it will not seem an argument
against the negro vote that it goes plump
for them. So it would probably be at the
South too, il the emancipated negroes had
the suffrage. Nine-tenths OF the black
people would vote with their employers,
their late masters, and "only true and ju-
diciOus friends"

Our northern brethren seem generally
to be arriving at the conclusion that In
order to reconstruct these States TO their
mind they must begin by destroying them
utterly, abolishing them down to the foun-
dation stones. This is really the business
and the absorbing topic Of the present
hour. Our masters will insist upon the
ratification, by somebody, Of their "con-
stitutional amendment; and II the States,
as at present organized, reject 1t, as they
do and will do, why then they intend that
the said States shall disappear from
the surface of the earth and they will
build up here certain new communities
which will accept that precious amend
ment. The sole use Of q State and of
human society Is to ratify the amend
ment. If we will not ourselves de-
nounce ourselves as race of perjured
traitors, that most essential work must be
done by somebody else. No matter how
few may be the individuals at first who
are to have it in charge TO create new
Yirginia--some imported Yankees, and o
handful of such unworthy Virginians as
were false TO their State in her hour Of ex-
treme need, these will do. for a nucleus;
and in course of time there is expected to
be an organized community able and will
ing to do that one thing needful for politi-
go1u IN
constitutional amendment. If matters are
indeed to be pushed to this extremity, we
must bear it as best we may; yet we
shall have one consolation remaining
it will not have been Virginia which
has thus debased herself; it will be new
Fictitious and fictitious political monster,
having nothing in common with the old
State; and by whose action we may indeed
be injured, but cannot be degraded. We
can endure even to be prescribed and dis
as criminals, if the thing must
be so; but the ignominious avowal Of our
guilt cannot come out Of our own mouths.
The constant cant Of northern people is
" that it does not belong to the conquered
party in war, surrendering at discre-
" ton, to say what terms it will accept or
" refuse" This is precisely what does
belong to us, though we have surrendered
at discretion" If the terms offered
amount to establishment, we have not
only the power, but it is our bounden duty
to say emphatically No.

The bill TO amend chapters $50, l3l, and
1872, Of the Code Of Virginia, reported
from the Committee Of Courts Of Justice,
and supposed to have originated with Mr..
Speaker BALDWIN, was before the House
of Delegates yesterday, but, owing to its
importance, was postponed for consdera-
tion by full House. 1t may be well to
direct the attention Of the legal profession
generally TO this ball.
Section l, chapter l32, is made to en-
brace both the lst and I'd sections as they
now stand; and new section becomes
No. 2, as follows:
"Section 2. As 10 each personal representa-
tive whose decedent shall die on or after the
Ist day of July, 1867, IL shall be the duty OF
the clerk Of such court 10 receive and hie In
his Office any statement in writing such as the
law requires, setting forth claim against Inc
estate OF the decedent and 10 register the same
in book provided for the purpose, so as 10
show the name OF the creditor 2, the ma
ture Of his claim /; g. the amount demanded OF
principal money l. the time from Which men m m
claim is filed. The list of claims against the
estate of any such decedent shall be closed,
and n new list opened at the end OF year from
upon the personal represen tative, and so on
from year 10 year until the estate Is nnai!y
settled. For each claim filed and registered
under this section the clerk shall be entitled 10
a fee of - cents, 10 be paid by the clalman
when HE claim Is presented"
Section &c, chapter $50, is amended by
adding 10 it provision that the personal
representatives of decedents who shall die
after July /, 1867, shall not notice or pay
INV claim until the name Of the claimant,
the nature of the claim, the amount, and
copy of the writing df any upon which
the claim is founded, shall have been filed
with the clerk. These claims shall, II Just,
constitute the debts of the first year against
the estate, shall be paid in the order now
provided, "and be dealt with in all re-
spects as if they constituted the entire in
debtedness of the estate" So with claims
filed the second year, and so on al JInem.
To section Is, chapter 1872, is added a
proyislon that no debts not recorded as
above shall DO proved before commits
sioncr.
To section 8, chapter l3l, is added pro-
vision that real estate Iassetsl conveyed
bona fde by the heir or devisee shall DC
liable for debts recorded as above II re-
corded before conveyance.

JUDGE GEORGE Ii. LEE.-The Wheeling
Inteuiqencer snuffs treason in the air. The
Dispatch having said that Judge LEE
happened to be at home when McCLEL-
LAN's army interposed itself between him
and Richmond, the Inteui9encer wants to
know whether the Judge was merely futui-
tously loyal. We meant to say only what
we did say. If Judge LEE had happened
to be in Richmond when the Northwest
was cut of from us by MCCLELLAN, he
might have remained with us, or he might
have gone home. We know nothing as to
that. But as it "happened," he was at
home; and it is unjust to him to speak OF
him as deserter-one who "went to West
Virginia soon after the war broke out"

DIR, WATsoN's CAsE.-Some of our con-
temporaries yesterday morning minated
tina, the counsel Of DR.. WATSON either had
applied or would apply to one of the judges
of the Supreme Court in Washington for
a writ Of habeas corpus. We believe such
a step has been taken, the result Of which

Mexican Affairs.

At length, if we can trust any news COM
ing from New York, we have some data
enabling us to arrive at notion OF the
situation. The Emperor MACMILLAN has
returned to Mexico, and issued procla-
nation, saying that he will call cOnven-
ton of Mexican citizens to decide on the
future of the country-"a National Con-
gress on the most ample and liberal basis,
where all political parties can participate"
1t appears certain, then, that the En-
peror has not yet abdicated, and has ex-
pressed his intention of not abdicating
until the result Of his Congress be known.
1t is now also tolerably certain that the
church has offered to the Emperor rein
forcement of ten thousand Mexican SOL
diers, and a sum of fifteen millions of dol
lars, to induce him to stand by his empire
to the last. This is done by the church,
chiefly from fear Of American Intervention
as the ecclesiastical power knows it would
have more TO fear from this than from the
new church constitution created on the
French model.
Further than this, nothing comes to US
but rumors, which destroy one another.
That Marshal BAzAINE has declared the
French forces neutral in all future pro-
ceedings-that General DIAz, with 5000
men, has givenhis adhesion to MAMMALIAN
Sc. 1t seems also that the Independence
Beige, Brussels paper of no high au-
thority, gives it as rumor that the French
Government has invited that of the United
States to some sort of joint action in set
thing the future Of Mexico.
