Are We a i.onanred Peonls?

If any sane man, trul y says the Roa-
noke Times, doubts that an affirmative
answer must be given to the interrogatory,
we would be edited by his explanation Of
the following facts:
/. General ScHoFIELD has warned the
Richmond Times newspaper to change the
tone of its editorials, on the pain of sus-
pension Where is the freedom of the
Press?
2. General S1cKELs has enacted stay
law for the Carolinas and citizens of
Richmond have petitionel Genral ScHo-
FIELD to alter and amend thestay law of
Virginia. Where is the Legislature
8. General SIcKELs has recently order
ed the procession of firemen in Charleston
to carry United States flag, and COM
manded that every man in passing that
flag shall salute it Ivy lifting his hat Or
cap from his head and carrying it SO lift
cd for six PAGES. Where is William Tell !?
4. If you, or we, or any other man,
should, by order Of the military satrap,
be arrested tonight in our own houses,
and dragged to Richmond, there's not a
Judeein Virginia who would dare to issue
writ Of habeas corpus. That writ is
the very palladium Of liberty to prevent
false Imprisonment!
5. Reconstruction, euen under the MI
itary Bill, will restore the control of our
private and public affairs once more wholly
to the laws made by the representatives Of
the people. Shall we not reconstruct?

An Infamous FaIsehOOd.

That uiiscrnbly disloyal and filthy Shset
published at the State Capitol called the Gd-
I,is, in its issue Of the 22nd, gives utterance
to til. following lie
THE Conservatives Of East Tennessee are
using Brownlow's Negro suffrage policy with
telling effect on Loyal Leagues. East Tennes-
sec Radicals can not stomach negro equality
and they are abandoning Brownlow IN maiSe. %
Every Radical in East Tennessee knows this
assertion to be e~ntirely uniras. The Radical
Union party is growing stronger every day,
and II the gnbCcnatoriaI election vas to come
of nov, Cor. Brognlow would receive five
Thousand less votes East Of the mountains,
than be will in August next. The people in
this part Of the world are not very easily
frightned aboutnegro equality. II they were,
they would not 20 into the conservative ranks
to avoid it. This everlasting negro question
has lost iis potency to dement, the free noun
t%aincers, and beguils them into the support Of
those WHO are attempting to restore the Gid
hercsies TO our civil poIity, which oppressed
the poor and fostered an aristocracy, whose
Eickedness has called down the thundsrbolts

VeDtiOn,

RicHuoxD, Va, April 1.-THE Republican
State Convention met to-day, IN the African
Church. Geo. Rye, Of Shenandoah, was cho-
sen temporary chairman. Two hundred and
ten counties reported directly, and nearly
all State by proxy. Mr.. John H%awkhurst.
Of Fairfax, was chosen permanent Presidents,
including liunuicutt, Lewis, Mckenzie, Of
Alexandria, and three cOlored men, were
chosen; also three Seeretaries-one eolored.
A white committees OF organization was
chosen. Fears we're expressed that some De.
mocrats came here 10 spoil the convection.
Hunnieuit and 7. u. Conway, Of New York,
made speeches, the new idea beng that the
negroes should demand higher pay-at least
four dollars per month. The convention
then adjourned tin tomorrow night. There
will be a mass meeting 10 Capitol Square
tomorrow night. The citizens DO not seem
TO take much notice Of the presence Of the
convention, and there is no bad feeling.
