Sales unoer Trust Ds I've. 2, e saa,d


Sales under Trust Doeds-sevefai For
hidden by General schoheld
We learn that General scHoFIELD yes
terday issued special orders forbidding in
several cases sales of property which, under
AZ many deeds Of trust, had been adyer-
tised to come off soon. The fact that no
general order in regard TO sales under
such deeds has been promulgated justifies
the inference that he does not intend to
over-rule the decision Of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, but will rather confine
himself to the granting of relief in those
special cases Of hardship which may com.
mend themselves to his judgment as de-
serving It. The courts have always
granted relief IN equity in cases of this
kind even when there was no stay law on
the statute book. If this is the full exSent
to which the commanding General intencs
to 20, there will be comparatively ht.le
complaint as to his action; but II ne
should issue general order applying 70
all trust deeds, there would be gooo
ground for murmurs loud and deep against
the DEGREES of q military governor.

1.-TWO REVOLUTIONS OR ONE,"-For
nine months have the two scientific papers
of New York-to wit, the Amer;can Arti-
san and the Scientific American-been dis
cussing the question whether movable
wheel in going around an immovable one
of the same diameter makes two reyolu-
tions or only one. The last number of
each Of these valuable weeklies has seye-
raj columns of articles upon the subject.
Now, most people would consider this an
easy question to decide; for, being purely
one of fact, and therefore easily settled
by actual experiment, it would seem ma.
tural that the parties should demonstrate
what the factis We saw the experiment
tried few days ago. The resu,t was that
. movable cog-wheel made exactly one
revolution IN going around an immoyable

The Norfolk Journal objects to the es-
saws of JOSH BILLINGS and others that the
spelling is 80 bad that it is difficult to un-
ravel the meaning. JOSH is philosopher,
and says, as the Journal admits, wise and
witty things. We concede that nine-tenths
of the badly-spelled essays which are going
the rounds of the press are destitute of
pith and point, and unworthy of appear
ance before the public in any dress. But
we, nevertheless, think there is sometimes
propriety in the use ola peculiar orthog-
raphy. The jokes of clown in the
circus, or of low comedian on the stage,
owe much of their success to the garb of
the one or the other. They would fall
upon heavy ears if the clown or the come
dian should make his appearance in the
ordinary dress Of gentleman. So, we
imagine, it is with such essays as those Of
JOSH BILLINGS and ARTEMUs WARD. They
could not stand the test of correct orthog-
raphy, although they are quite amusing
in the outlandish jargon in which they are
written.

IpsE D1x1r.-Ipse dir;t, or she himself
says" is phrase which We shall all have
an opportunity ere long to appreciate at
its original value. In the House on Wed
nesday, Mr.. JENcKEs, of Rhode Island, de-
clared, as if he were using convincing
and unanswerable argument, that "the eu'-
"dencs that had satisfied General GRANT of
"the criminal intent Of the President
" satisfied him (Mr. JENckEs), and would
satisfy the Senate"

country? Alas, "upon what meat hath

the conquering hero comes. His words
are as weighty as if he were porphyro-
emperor.

The PROGRAMME OF THE RADICALS
HUNNIcUTT deserves credit for his candor.
He is not such fool as to desire to keep
the secrets of his party. Why should he 7
They knowingly elect thieves and scoun-
drels to office; and he sensibly concludes
that if there is any rascality afoot there is
no need of concealing it. The Ne,o Ma
ton of yesterday says:
Registration progresses very slowly IN
/" the city, and at the rate they are regis
&C tering now, the Boards will have to con-
(" tinue at least two months, IN order to call
I" the colored people. from the country who
sc registered here before and in all proba-
bility good many will never hear of the
/" second registration"
Now, the law recently passed by Con:
gress gives all these negroes the right to
vote in the counties to which they have
removed. But that does not satisfy Hun
NICUTT. He wants them all SCALED in from
the country" and re-registered in Rich
mond. 1t is here that he expects to run
for office. It is here that he expects to
use these negroes as stepping stones to en-
able him to get into some position of honor
or profit. And so, without blush, he
gravely announces that his sable retinue
must be brought back from their homes
and made to do his dirty work in Rich
mond.
We call the attention Of Colonel HIG-
BEE to this matter. He should instruct
his registering officers to exercise great
caution in registering the names of wan
dering negroes. To be forewarned is to be
forearmed. HUNN1CUTT has shown his hand.
Let the Colonel play accordingly.

ON BEN WADE.-What hardened
reprobate old BEN WADE must be! ne 70
actually had the efrontery to offer himself
as juror, or Judge, in the case Of Mr.
JOHNSON. We have not yet heard whether
he is likely to get chance to vote to give
himself twenty five thousand year and
the patronage of the Executive office I;
but we can truly say that the Radicals
cannot surprise us by any act, however
disgraceful. As we remarked several days
ago, Mr.. WADE, although not included in
the language of that provision of the Con-
stitution which forbids the Vice-President
from acting in such case, is nevertheless
embraced within its intent and meaning.
No man of refined feelings-no one with
the instincts Of gentleman-would dream
of sitting upon case under such circum-
stances.

Observation-Disclosures SHREWDsEss'-m' =. !.
Van DER WEYDE, an insurance agen. ~
New York, writes to the American Arsssa'
that in France the party in. whose house
Are occurs never receives pay for the
loss. His neighbors who lose by his care
lessness all get their insurance money, Dut
the man upon whose premises the nre
occurs receives nothing, whether the fre
is the result of carelessness, or OF crimes
or of misfortune. Mr.. VAN DER WEYDE
says that this regulation is enforced Dy
order of the Emperor, to whom, indeed, No
seems to give the credit of originating IT,
and that the rates of insurance are lower
in France than In this country. We DO
not know what is done in case the burned
premises are occupied by one person and
owned by another. If the regulation is o
wise one-and upon this point ne express
no opinion-it will doubtless soon be
brought into use in this country.

REGISTER Your NAMEs.-Again we call
upon the white voters of Richmond to re-
gister their names. Let them read the
article of the new negro Constitution which
regulates the right of suffrage, and which,
while comforting that right upon even
pauper negroes, DISTINGUISHES thousands
OF the best men in Virginia, and then re-
train from registering if their hearts will
allow them. Previous registration is Of
no benefit. None will be allowed to vote
VINO 90 not register on the present occa-
sion. When you have registered, get your
next door neighbor to follow your example.

Discussion followed pending which the
Convention took recess, the hour naTlns
arrived.
The Convention met at O'Clock. After
waiting for q quorum, and making several
motions to obtain one, the Convention
went into the transaction of business.
Mr.. SNEAD took the floor on the m
finished business of the morning session.
After some discussion, the previous
question was called and sustained.
Mr.. GIBsoN's motion to recommlt was
lost-ayes, 10; noes, Al.
Mr.. SCoTT offered an amendment to the
resolution that the committee be dis-
charged. Lost.
The resolution was then adopted, as fol.
lows:
Resolued, That the Committee on
Privileges and Elections be, and they are
hereby, discharged from the further CON
sideration of the matter of the eligibility OF

up. The first exception under the hrs,

Mr.. SCOTT moved to insert the word
"pauper."
This met with opposition from the ne.

Mr.. E. GIBSON made some good hits.
The other side had confessed themselves
as belonging to the "pauper" party.

The rule, as it now stands, to which it is
understood that Mr.. Chase objects is as
follows:
" The presiding officer may in the first
instance submit to the Senate, without
division, all questions of evidence and
incidental questions; but the same, on de-
mand Of one-ffth of the members present,
shall be decided by yeas and nays"
The feeling among the Radical senator's
in regard to the volunteer opinion Of Mr..
Chase is not of the most amiable nature,
and Mr.. Howard does not hesitate to charac-
terize it as piece of effrontery for Mr..
Chase to give his advice before it Is asked.

Public Sentiment I'm Philadelphia.
Extract of letter dated Philadelphia,
Pa, March 4, 1868:
eff Radical congressman are mad, the
same kind Of people at home are raving
maniacs. So far from the first-named not
being sustained by the latter, if there is
anything like dissatisfaction, it is because
senators and representatives have not gone
ahead far and fast enough.
THE sectional hatred Of these people
has become intensified since the surrender
of the Confederate States forces-as If we
had taken from them all their rights and
army contracts. I have found some most
Jealous Democrats here, but suspect, if
the reason for their being such were truly
known, there are personal piques to be
revenged and personal ambitions to be
gratifed. Besides, democrat does not
mean southern sympathizer, nor does it
imply true lover Of the country. To find
one man of any worth who, from principle
and sense, agreed with southern men,
would take many Diogineses. They have
been neither born nor made but that
there will be many after this grand Repub-
lie has passed away, have no doubt

The DEMOCRATIC V1oToRIEs.-It thun-
ders all around the sky. The town cleo
tions held yesterday in New Hampshire,
Maine, and New York, all tell one story
overwhelming Democratic gains as COM
pared with last fall, when the Radicals
were everywhere beaten. With these
figures before us, it is safe to say, that were
a presidential election to be held next
week, the Democrats would carry every
State in the Union, except, perhaps, Mas
sachusetts and Iowa.
In Troy We gain 1900 upon the vote Of
last year; in Lansingburg, 800; in Utica,
ESQ; in Rhinebeck, 800; and in several
minor towns equally large gains. A
hotly-contested town election in New
Hampshire shows so large gain that if
the same proportion holds good next week
that State is sure for the Democracy by
handsome majority. The Portland cleo
ton shows that the popular rejection
against radicalism is as strong in the old
Pine-Tree State as in New York. Every
return tells the same tale, and all condemn
the mad majority in Congress. The i'm

to the Philadelphia Telegraph that Gene

less consequence than the precedent we

Sixty-eighth Day.

THURSDAY, March S, 1868.
The Convention met at the usual hour
Prayer by the chaplain.
Mr.. PORTER submitted a petition from
the citizens of Nansemond county asking
exemption of property from past debts
which was read.
Mr. PARR demanded the reading of the
names, of which about 800 were.signed.
Several objections were made.
Mr.. PARE said that the petition was q
coniured-up thing, and he demanded its
reading. There was one man named there
whom he knep did not sign that petition.
The reading was continued, and objec-
tons were made.
Mr.. PARR (excitedly): CT demand my
rights on this floor, sir. represent the
county from which that petition comes,
sir, and the men who sign it are not my
people, sir; and Pm going to meet the pro-
position with all its difficulties"
The petition was finally referred to Mr..
PARR.
Mr.. ALLAN moved that as the petition
was the property Of the State, Mr.. PARR
be required to give $4,000 surety for its
safe-keepiDg.
Mr.. PARR (excitedly): "You needn'ttalk
about security, sir. You give security for
yourself, sir. My Cd, I can't stand this,
sir. can't stand here and be insulted
upon this floor, sir.'
Objection was made to the reference of
the petition to one man, and it was referred
to committee of FIVE, of which Mr.. PARR
was made member.
