Affairs In Virginia.

RICHMOND, November o.-General oeuonelu las
ordered new election in the matter Of the sub
scription to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. In
order to remove all doubt about the legality Of the
election all qualified voters under the laws OF Vir-
ginia and the United States will be allowed to VOTE
This includes all the disfranchised whites.
Official information received at headquarters
shows that Il, ,OOO whites failed to register in the
State, and only $500 persons are disfranchlsed IN
Virginia.
RICHMOND, November s.-General Schoheld re-
plies to the protest Of the defeated Conservative
candidates against extension Of the time of voting
and fraud on the late elections here. AS to extern
sion he says it was clearly the intent Of Congress
that the polls should be held open until all the
votes we're polled, and This finds precedent IN the
laws of Virginia. With reference to illegal voting,
he saws he can only investigate that when the reg
istering officers make returns to him. He proml-
ses to submit the claims Of the defeated candidates
to Congress when it meets, and to give potn par
hes his assistance in discovering any fraud that
NAV have been perpetrated. AS to the polls peing
kept open longest when the Black vote was heavl,
est he says they were kept open in all until all the
votes we're poIled. He concludes thus That
threats Of intimidation, and actual violence, In
more than one instance, even, as you alleged, re-
sorted to by Blacks to secure the vote OF persons
Of their own race, is no doubt true. Whether the
effect was to encourage any considerable NUMBER OF
votes, may be difficult to determine, but ls certainly
legitimate subject for investigation, and, If 1t ap-
pears that such has been the object, it will be just
ground for contesting the election"
