NOBLE rrERANCES.

ssIf Manton Marble, Of the New York
World. had never.written anything else The
following eloquent and generous utierances
~oald stamp him as "man Of mark. !"
They are ,s creditable TO both his heart and
head. as they are just aud timely within
the,hselves:
"The South has indeed erred but this is
40 time to rehesrse the catalogue Of its
faults. There was the error Of generous,
m,aly. public spirited men, who bravely
confronted great periis and incurred great
losses in what they believed 10 be . just
cause. Their belief may have been grie.
vsos error. but previously have they stpned
for i,. They are our countrymen. aud We
must forgive them. They are the victims
OF domincesing insslence. and We must hH
osr attention on their virtues. u. while
there was hope for their mistaken cause,
they fought like men. they also sabmitted
like men when they saw u Was lost. The
conduct OF their returned soldiers vas or
derly and admirable. Instead Of nolesling
the country with marauding bands. they
scattered in silence TO their poverty slr'ct-
en- hsmes, and bore themselves a. quiet CT.
tizens. We cannu, bestow on lhem grea.
YER prsi.e than 10 SAY that their conduct
~as as orderly as that Of csr own patriotic
soldiers. end this praise they fslly deserve.
Though they returned not 10 triumpa but
10 humiliation, not 10 plen,y bet TO power.
". they made no atiempt % subsist by 70
pine. but betu.k themselves al once ~ the
pursuits Of honest Industry. The common
valvr with which ear countrymen on both
SIDES fought. brings ieellns Of regret that
they should have ererted ssch heroics
against each other but the equal virtue
with which both armies passed II once 10
the tranquii pursuits ei civil life, can sH.
cite no sentiments but unalIcyed admire.
tivn and pride. Il was an illustrious proof
Of the 6tne.s d wr citizens. both North
and South, for rspusi,csn institutions.
With Ill their errors, our Southern
brethren we're never lvr 4 moment disloyal
To republican ideas. They adopted With
elesrh States precisri, the same system OF
government which their fathers aud ours
pat In operalion with thirteen. They main.
iained their State go,ern,aent precisely .

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Tribune's
special says: The President to-day re-
ferred to the Secretary of War dd inte-
rim for consideration and report, the
petitions of citizens of Georgia mem
TONED in these dispatches in Wednes-
day mornings paper, in which COM
plant is made that General Pope, in
appointing delegates for the convention,
gives undue advantage to TIE colored
over the while race. Gen. Grant re-
turns the petition with this endorse
ment, substantially, that it Seems TO
him that the allotments should be made
by counties instead of Senatorial dis
tricts AS directed by Gen. Pope, but as
the time for the election 1.-THE 29th) is so
near at hand, he cannot see how the
matter can be remedied. He has tele-
Kraphed to Gen. Pope. asking il 1t is
practicable to make the change sought,
and whether 1t would not be better to
fix the representation by counties in
stead of by Senatorial districts. The
reply OF Gen. Pope is not yet received.
1t is TO be observed that General Grant
does not claim the power 10 direct the
district commander, aud therefore bis
communication Is merely suggestive.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Gov. Ward,
who is now here, says that at the re-
cent meeting in New York, OF the Ex-
eCutive Sub Committee of the National
Union Republican Committee, there
was some conversation as TO the best
place to hold the next Convention for
the nomination OF candidates for the
| Presidency and Vice Presidency. and
! Chicago, st. Louis and New York were
IN entiOned, but no action was taken by
the Committee, as the determination OF
that question belongs to the full Com
mittee, which assent les here in De-
cember.
Information has been received here
of the Issuance ofa new grant, by Pres
ident Juarez, to f. Lazre, for opening
the Tehauntepec route. II is substan-
TALLY the same as that issued October
10. 1866, to Charles Knapp 81 Co, but
which lapsed, owing, 1t is said, to the
non fultillment of the contract by
them.
The sub. Committee on Judiciary,
charged with the investiga ton OF pub
lie affairs in Maryland and Delaware,
will adjourn, Monday next, to Novem-
Der 18th, when the investigation will be
resumed.
Gov. Ward, of New Jersey, was to-
day engaged at the War Department
on business for the State, which has
claims against the Government on ac-
count of money advanced and expend-
ed for military purposes during the
late war.
The return of the Philadelphia banks
to the Comptroller OF the Currency
| shows they have an excess of SIS, 0O0,-
600, being 50, 000, 900 in excess OF the
amount required by law.
The correspondence between Admit
raj FarrAgut ard Minister Yeatman, at
Copenhagen, has been received. The
former thanks the latter for his atten-
tions, and the latter congratulates the
Government and people of the United
States for the very favorable impress
sion which has been made in Northern
Europe by Farragut's cruise in the
Baltic and adjacent waters. Our naval
science has been illustrated; our polit-
ioal institutions honored; socially and
politically, America has acquired in
creased consideration.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Herald's
Washington special says, the intelli-
gence from Richmond states that the
polls are closed in all the wards of the
city except in the Ward in which
the voting will continue all night. The
official returns from the four wards in
which the polls are closed show a ma
jority of oil for the Radical ticket,
which will be increased by the vote OF
the third Ward, and II majority of /, $50
for the Convention. In the wards heard
from only % negroes voted the Conser-
voted the Radical ticket. General
Schofield is denounced for keeping the
polls open longer than his order for the
election specified. -..
1 learn that charges for improper
conduct in conducting the election will
be prepared against Lieutenant Colonel
Rose by number OF prominent citi-
zens.
From the returns received tonight
the Convention will be composed of AZ
/ Conservatives and IS Radicals. Thir-
teen negroes have been elected as far as
! heard from.
The Times Richmond special saws :
The polls in three of the wards in this
city were continued open to-day for the
registered negroes who were unable to
| vote previous. The whites were in the
majority last night, but the scale was
soon turned in favor of the blacks. AT
ll:30 a. m, General Schofield closed one
OF the polls, and soon after another,
leaving open the third, where the blacks
massed themselves, to the exclusion of
all others. The whites were crowded
out, and riotous disturbances became
] frequent among the excited multitude,
which required the military, frequent
| ly, to quell. HunniCutt, Jr., was found
! tearing up Conservative tickets in the
I hands nT rnlnFP1 man and nFnmnf-
| ly arrested by the military and lodged
in Libby Prison. He was released this
evening by General Scho6eld. At 1880
o'clock the polls were still open, the
blacks appearing to be innumerable,
aud the voting may continue all night.
These elections may be contested. The
Conservatives will issue an appeal TO
/ the people of the country, protesting
| against the manner in which the cleo
ton has been conducted.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.


/ THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
! Official information from Richmond
/ up to late hour last night, conveys "A
strong belief that the Convention had
I been carried in the leading towns,
Where the newspapers have worked on
the people since the late elections in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, the vote has
been given almost solidly against ii
convention, but in most districts where
people have not been subjected to the
control of the Richmond influence, tie
white vote has been so divided that
with the vote cast for the COuven-
ton, it will be carried. The only dis
turbance of any moment was that
at Lynchburg, where some negroes uu-
dertoOk TO mob one of their number for
voting a Conservative ticket. After
firing at his assailants, the military
arrested him and saved him from the
mob. The undeTcurrent of excitement
in Richmond was very great, but troops
were kept under arms day and night,
and no outbreaks occurred. The cOlored
people in all the cities have voted very
slowly, owing to questions arising as
to whether persons Offering to vote had
really registered. Many had forgotten
their assumed surnames by which they
registered, yet all are allowed to bring
proof that they actually registered, I'M
der the clause OF General Schotield's
election order, which says no ballots
will be received from persons who are
not properly registered, exceptin cases
where the name OF the person applying
to vote may have been incorrectly recor
ded in the registration list in which if the
officer conducting the election is salts
fed, either from his own personal
knowledge, or from the testimony OF Il
creditable witness, that Il person was
actually registered, such person will be
permitted to vote. Ii Is understood
that General Schofield has declared
that the polls shall be kept open from
day to-day, till every person entitled to
vote has had an opportunity to cast
his ballot. If the Convention is de-
feated, il will at once appear who is
responsible, MS General Schofield
wisely ordered that the ballots of white
aud colOred voters should be deposited
in separate boxes, that each white vote
for or against Convention will be
known, and so also with the blacks.
There was some purpose for ordering
separate boxes, and il was in no sense
pandering to the prejudices oil the
whites, as has been insinuRted, for in "a
great majority of cases in the State, ex :
cept where Il very large vote was to be
cast, the boxes have been side by side.
If IA Convention is called, the regist IA
lion lists show that there will inevita-
bly, be a Radical majority of from ten
TO fifteen.

THE correspondent at New York, of
the Mobile Advertiser, relates the fol-
lowing of what he calls an "honest''
cashier:
Not long ago the cashier OF we'll
known bank informed the directors
that he wished to resign. He was sup.
posed to be a poor man in the compare
tive sense. and they asked him if he
could afford to resign.
Yes" said the cashier, "if could
not would not"
"How is that? We thought you had
nothing but your salary"
"Gentiemen," said he, perfectly cool
and frank, Il have used the money of
the bHnk-used it literally. But the
bank has no. lost anything. 1 saw
chances, made the best of them, and re-
| turned every dollar / took. I have
enough now, and want to resign
Have the books examined you will
\ ind everything straight. II may have
been wrong to use your money, bul
there's nothing lost, and it's not worth
your while TO make any trouble"
They did not make any trouble, and
the lucky cashier is now a member o
the best society in New York.
The Philadelphia Ledger, comment.
ing on the above narration, gives us the
following:
Something akin to the above is {
fact in the life OF a newly elected banI
director in this city, as the same wa.
told US by the individual himself. He
was staid. active business man, q
member of the society OF Friends, and
like the most of that unobtrusive sect
rarely took part in affairs outside OF
his own store. Being man of means,
and keeping good bank account, one
of cur oldest banks solicited him 10
become a director. It being a grave
question with him, he said he would
think of ii, and after consultation
with his wife. who, being IA little
ambitious, insisted that he should
accept 1t, and he did, At the
first meeting of the Board thereafter
he took his seat, and after the DISPOSAL
of the business before it, some
cigars, as usual, were brought in, and
those who desired, helped themselves
and smoked, leaving at the time OF ad-
JOuTnment II dozen or more in the glass
tumbler containing them. AT the
Board was another quite straight-faced
old Friend, who, remaining a little be-
hind his fellows, our new director saw
him give quick glance round the room
to assure himself that he was unob-
served, and then stealthily whip :he re-
manning cigars into his pocket In
alarm, our new director walked direct
ly home, and to the surprise of his
wife, informed her that he meant TO
forthwith resign his office, and rela-
ting what he had see II, said he thought
there must be something in the air of a
bank 10 create an itching palm, and
make men dishonest. True to his
word, he did resign, and has never since
taken "A seat at u board of bank direc-
tors
