Senator Wilson at Richmond.

RIcHMoSD, Dec. 11-Senator Wilson to-
night; in a speech before the Republican eau
Gus, said that he favored extending the fran
chise in the Southern States rather than cur
failing it. He said he had come from Wash
ington to see something of the Conservative
Convention here, but found, after all the talk
about Republican secret leages, that this con-
vention was not open to him.
TThe Convention only admits citizens who
have tickets, and, it appears, Senator Wilson
had not gotten one.
Senator Wilson said that not over fifty thou
sand persons were disfranchised in the South,
and it was idle clamor to say that this disfran-
chisement effected the putting of the South
under the rule Of the blacks. lie predicted
that seven of the Southern States would be in
the Union by the 4th of July, with Republican
constitutions, Congress, he said, intended tc
stand firm, and the present generation would
be gray before the reconstruction acts were re-
voked
Senator Wilson took good care not to visit
Richmond during the war He raised regi-
ment, but, remembering the panic he helped
to create atBull Run, he gave up the command
to a soldier of more nerve than himself.

Jon es and-the Milkman's Horse.

Mr. Jones, who intended taking his wife out
for drive one day, asked his milkman, who
had a very spirited horse, for the loan Of tho
same; which request was granted. Howev-
er. Mr.. Jones was not good driver, and
had great difficulty in managing the horse,
which at last became ungovernable, and, TO the
great horror of Mrs. Jones, bolted with them.
Mr.. Jones did not know what to do, and So
rious accident seemed unavoidable, when, all
of sudden, Mr.. Jones remembering the ca
pacity for which the horse was used, and call
ing out with stentorian voice, Milk, oh
milk, oh !" the horse stopped instantly, to their
great joy, at this familiar cry, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones got home safely without any fur
ther incident, save that when they returned
home in the evening, on passing pump In
the neighborhood, the horse would not stir an
inch until Mr. Jones got down and worked the
pump handle dozen times, after which opera
zion it moved on directly; and, to finish off the
days pleasure, it stopped at all the customers
Of the milkman in the road where Mr. Jones
lived, his house being at the further end.
