Mr.. Boris CALLS A STATE CONVENTION.
Our unreconstructed Radical confrere OF
the Alexandria State Journal says that
Boris is trying to get up another Radical
convention, as it is appraised by his circu-
lar call, issued from Near Brandy Station,
May s, 1867, now before us. He wishes it
to be held on the 4th of July, and in Char
lottesville. Mr.. BoTTs says:
Regarding the late Richmond meeting,
il NAV have done much that will prove
beneficial, and whenever we can with pro-
priety endorse what it has done, we will
permit no party jealousy to interfere with
ar endorsement of its action; but we must
do much that was left undone by that meet
ing. We must enlarge committees, re-
move the objection to their local and sec
tional character" &c.
The Journal denounces BoTTs's course
as "factious and disorganizing," and evil
IDENTITY trembles for the fate of the Black
Radicals of the HUNNICUTT stripe. 1t
closes with this minatory language:
eff Mr.. Bolts and his personal friends
want to celebrate the fourth Of July at
Charlottesville by perpetrating the obse-
quieS of the old Wing party, we hope they
will be permitted to do so, but we trust
they will not be permitted at the same oc-
casion to dig the grave of Virginia Repub-
licanism at any rate, not with the aid OF
Republicans"

Virginia Lands-Northern Purchasers.
The Lynchburg papers announce that
certain northern capitalists arrived In that
place on Tuesday on their way to South
western Virginia. One paper states their
number at forty, and another states 1t at
aity. They were to be accompanied by
some twenty five or thirty Virginians, from
Lynchburg and elsewhere. These CAPT
talis,s, some of whom are already the
owners Of thirty thousand acres of land In
Pulaski county, are intent upon proftably
investing their money, If they invest 1t at
all. The Vrgiaidn says they purpose
erecting furnaces and going largely into
the production of iron.
We welcome oil such reconstruction
lists" with unalloyed pleasure. They are
cmissaries of the kind which we would all
desire to see the North send down hither to
restore us to the Union and to prosperity.
There is one fact which may be mentioned
in this connection as worthy of notice
namely, that there are few or no negroes
in that part of the State in which these
capitalists have heretofore invested their
money, and where they propose to invest
so much more. The negro is still IN the
way of our prosperity.

General SchOfeld's Order as 10 Re
gistratiOn.


1t would seem that General SCHoFIELD
in the following order, has provided for a
full anG fair registration Of all the voters
in Virginia. The whole subject has evi.
IDENTITY been thoroughly canvassed in his
mind, and every avenue to fraud, injus-
tice, and corruption, has been closed. AT
least such appears to us to be the case upon
hasty perusal of the order. He gives nc
specific Instructions in regard to the per.
sons who are DISTINGUISHED under the laws
which he is Observation-Disclosures because
he expects to receive full instructions
from Washington as soon as Mr.. STAN
pERY's opinion shall have been ratified by

The following regulations are prescribed
for the registration Of voters as required

be appointed for each county and city,
according to its size, and one for each ma
gisterial district or ward.
2. One principal Board of Registration,
and as many assistant Boards as may be
convenient, each to consist of three Off
GERS, will be organized in each county or
city by the President of the Board, under
instructions heretofore issued from these
headquarters.
3. The President of the Board for the
county or city will apportion the districts
or wards among the principal and as
sistant Boards, determine the order in
which the several districts or wards as
signed to each Board shall be registered,
the time to be allotted to each, and will
instruct the registering officer of each dis
trict or ward to publish accordingly the
notices hereinafter required, and to make
the necessary preparations for the meeting
of the Board in his district or ward.
4. The President of the Board will also
designate the place of registration in each
district or ward, which will be selected
with reference to the general convenience

Mr.. STANBERY's OPINION ON THE Re-
CONSTRUCTION ACTs.-We learn from the
National hteRigencer of yesterday that
the opinion of the Attorney General in
explanation Of the recent reconstruction
acts of Congress, which is to be the basis
of the instructions of the President to the
executors OF these laws, was considered
in Cabinet meeting Tuesday. 1t is a docu-
ment Of great length, and embraces every
conceivable detail or phase of these
statutes upon which instructions are re-
quired. 1t will probably be completed
and ready for publication during this

UNDERWOOD NO LAwYER.-The Chicago
Tribune, Radical journal, in an editorial
denouncing UNDERwooD's charge to the
grand jury, says that the charge is ga dis
grace to the bench and to the profession
of the law" The Tribune may rest easy
upon this score. UNDERWOOD is a judge,
but he is not lawyer, and never pro-
fessed to be one, we believe, before he was
appointed to his present position. He was
a schoolmaster, we think.

The PRESIDENTS ORGAN ON Mr.. DA-
vIs's RELEAsE.-We regret to see the Ma
tional Republican arguing that Mr.. DAVIS
may yet be tried; that his discharge upon
bail means nothing and repeating the
reasons which Radical madmen urge in
favor of Furnishing him. 1t indicates that
the President is fearful that Congress may
lay the blame of Mr.. DAvIs's enlargement
upon his shoulders. What a contrast

A SWEEPING LAw.-The new bankrupt
act, which has already been brought up
in discussions in our courts, not only does
away with imprisonment for debt in all the
States where it now exists, but, according
10 the National httelligencer, sets aside all
stay laws, and all preferences, voluntary
agreements, and secret attachments
Either party TO debt, whether the debtor
or the creditor, may put the estate of a
debtor into bankruptcy, by which means
the interests of both parties will be pro-
noted. Fraudulent bankruptcy will be
punished as fraud. The InteNi0encer
adds that France has acted in the matter
simultaneously with the United States.
and that England will soon follow the ex
ample. We do not understand the law a.
setting aside all agreements or deeds
giving preference to creditors, but only
certain ones which are described in the
law.

The Harrisonburg Union has doubtless
learned ere now that the Dispatch was mol
mistaken when it expressed the opinion
that Mr.. DAVIS would not be tried at the
present term of Judge UNDERwooD's
court. And that paper will soon learn
that il is mistaken as to who are disfran-
chised by the reconstruction acts of Con-
rress, Mr.. STANBERY will sustain our
view of these acts in every particular, we
hope and believe for we only claim the
benefit of the construction put upon them
by even such Radicals as Senator WILSON.
