SENATOR Wilson IN VIRGINIA
Richmond. Va, April 81. Senator
Wilson spoke at Orange Court House
yesterday. He recounted the events
which led to the war, and said that
after its close the North had no i'll
feeling for the South. The South
was Submissive, and had the measures
now pen'ing been adopted directly
at the end of the conflict the South
would have acknowledged that the
Government was just and liberal, but
when Mr.. Johnson assumed power he
adopted different policy, which had
brought on all the dissatisfaction
Mr.. Lincoln had prepared eight con
ditions for the pardoned rebels, al
of which had met his (Wilson's) ap
prevail. Mr.. johnson prepared four
teen, which were six too many. HI
| Wilson, had never favored the $40,
600 clause, for be wanted the South
except a few prominent rebels, to b,
at liberty to go to work. The Soutl
had complained Of Congress violating
! the Constitution, and yet upheld John
son in his violations of the Constitu
ton in restoring the States. HI
WILSON, was opposed to a blacl
mans party or white mans party
| Let all who favor human bondage Q,
together, and all who favor freedom
and progress go together. If an
rebels had cast aside their dclusion
let them come up and join the Reput
! lican party.
Major J. HI. Lee. State Senator fror
Orange, replied to Mr.. Wilson. Fl
charged the introduction of SLAYER
upon the North, and said that Nj
Lincoln did not at first intend to lii
crate the slaves, and that the Soutl
ern people were the blacks bes
friends.
Mr.. Wilson replied that in a yea
the North would give the negroes til
right of suffrage. He said confscatio
might follow if the reconstruction bi
was not accepted.

A Letter from John M. Bolts.


At a great mass Convention Of the |
National Republican party held at
Petersburg, Va, on the Sth inst. com
posed largely of colored people, let
ter from John M. Bolts was read. and
from which we make the following
extract. In allusion to the efforts
of the Southern democrats to win the
freedom from their true allegiance,
and induce them to stultify them
selves, Mr.. Bolts says:
II address you as members of the
Republican party, BECAUSE IN the ma
ture of things, you can belong to no
other than the great National Repub-
lican party of the United States, a
party to which you owe debt OF
gratitude that neither you nor the
generations that are to come after you
can ever forget or repay-to that
party in the North alone are you in
debted for your emancipation from
bondage; and to the South will you
be indebted in the future for your full
development into an intelligent and
elevated manhood; and further, | ad-
dress you as Republicans, because we
hold you to be our friends and allies
in the political contests that are be
fore us; still more, | address you as
men, although but recently emerged
from a condition Of slavery, for which
none of the present day are RESPONSE
bic, it is true, and which you Of your
selves had no power to resist or con
troll. Yet that now, when the power
is lodged in your own hands to per
petuate your freedom and that your
descendants for all time to come,
cannot believe but that you have toe
much sagacity, too much intelligence
and wisdom to connect yourselves
with, or in any manner give aid anC
comfort, assistance or sympathy, tC

struggle for power, would not only
have perpetuated your bondage, bu

! lightened, and now universally fre'

CooL.-An incarnation of Western
impudence lately wandered into an
deliberately furnished pew in a Phila-
delphia church and nestled comforta-
bly, down into one corner of the same.
and looked about as interested and
contented as toad under a cabbage
leaf. After while the owner of the
pew arrived, and at once gave signs
of intense disgust and indignation at
the presence of the interloper. He
looked at Joe. looked at the pew,
scowled magnifcently, and finally,
alter fumbling through his pockets
some time, drew forth card and
wrote on it with pencil: "This is
my seat, SirF' and, with an air of the
loftlest contempt tossed it over to Joe.
The latter took it up; read it with
lamb-like meekness peculiar to him.

ful GOODNESS, wrote 10 reply, dts a

to its owner.

INTERESTING TO RAILROAD TRAVEL
ERs.-The following rules of the road
are based upon legal decisions and
ought to be universally known. The
courts have decided that applicants
for tickets on railroads can be elected
from the cars if they do not offer the
exact amount of their fare. Conduc-
tors are not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until
used, conditions good for this day
only" are of no account. Passengers
who lose their tickets can be elected
from the cars unless they purchase a
second one. Passengers are bound
to observe decorum in the cars. and
are obliged to comply with all reason

Standing on the platforms or other

pany, renders person liable to be

right to monopolize more seats thar

FREE SPEECH IN NIRGNIA.-A cor
respondent Of the Washington Chron-
icle, in giving an account of a Union
meeting at Louisa Court House, Va,
relates the following incident attend
ing Mr., Hunnicutt'S beginning to
make an address
He had been insulted and hooted
by rebel crowd on his arrival at the
depot, and he had not proceeded far
when they again began a disturbance,
to play their old game Of choking
down free speech. At this junctpre
Mr.. W. James, one of our few staunch
Union citizens, took his place beside
Mr.. Hunnicutt, and speaking directly
to the rebel crowd, said The Union
men of the county are here to-day to
hold this meeting, and they are here
in sufficient force to protect them
selves, to preserve order, and 10 pu,
