Virginia Affairs.

RICHMOND, VA. May S.-The Times
special says: In the convention which ad-
jOurned tonight no platform was proposed.
The only object was to devise measures to
defeat the Constitution. A State ticket
was proposed, not with the hope that it
would be elected, but to concentrate the
vote of the white people of the State
against the Constitution. 1t was supposed
it would have been with Hancock for
President. The Republican Convention
adjourned yesterday, perfect harmony pre-
vailing. They will carry the State by
10000 majority. The nominations of the
Conservatives do not suit any body. Luke
johnson was nominated at large and made
a speech which displeased everybody.

The ROMANCE OF Sinai the Mayors
office. on Saturday morning, we became
possessed of the particulars of very ro-
mantle story of the adventures of two
young girls, their escape from their guar
dians, and their subsequent ruin.
On Saturday morning rather genteel
appearing woman, clad in deep mourning,
her features concealed by heavy black
veil, called on the Mayor and requested lis
assistance to find her daughter who hxd
left her about two months before, and who,
as she had learned, was in house of ILL
fame in this city. Our kind hearted Mayor
promised her every assistance in her search,
and the women departed, satisfied that if
the girl was in the city she would be found.
just as she reached the foot of the stairs
leading from the Mayors office, who should
she see but her fugitive daughter behind
Mrs. Moore, the keeper of bagnio in this
city, carrying market basket.
No pen can describe the feelings of the
mother and and daughter as they then met.
Calling an officer she had her daughter ia
ken into custody, and a warrant was issued
for the arrest of the other inmates of Mrs.
Moore's house, as the recovered daughter
de clared there was a girl there who had,
like her, just commenced a life of shame.
The other girls were bought into the Po-
lice Court, and from the one alluded to-
Nettie Hall-we gathered the following
history - .
Nettie Hall, not yet IS years of age, is
an orphan, the daughter of Scotch bank
er, who, dying, left his child, and consider.
able property to relative in Cincinnati
By this guardian she was placed in a Sc
lect school in that city, where she formed
the acquaintance of Carrie Hall, girl about
10 years old. Thinking they had learned
enough, and indignant over some real OF
| fancied injury received from her guardian
| Nettie proposed to her friend that they ze
out to work and see the world, of which
she drew a glowing picture, anu of which
she knew nothing. --
Full of the idea Of leaving Cincinnati
they went to an intelligence office, and Sc
cured situations as dining room girls in
hotel in London, protesting to be wei
versed in the duties, when. in fact, neithe
of them knew how to do any kind of hous,
work. Of course their stay there was bu
brief. During the time they were at tn
London hotel, a woman stopping there, fo
a day or two, noticed the girls, and tolt
them it was shame that two such hand
some girls should slave themselves to dealt
leading that kind of life, and advises
them to go to Columbus, where they coult
live like fine ladies, wear silks and satins
and lead glorious life as fast women, ant
gave them the address OF Mrs. Moore.
Completely led away by her seductiv
descriptions, the wayward girls came here
and were conveyed to the den they sought
Here they have been living a life of sham
for the past six weeks; and here, but fo
the merest accident, they might have sti
lived the brief time allotted to courtezani
They have been properly cared tor, an
will be taken to Cincinnati to-day by Car
rie's mother, who does not leave her daugh
ter's side for minute.

of the States now excluded from represent
alton, and opposed to the revolutionary
legislation of Congress, be held at CoOper's
Institute, city of New York, July 4th,
1868.
2l. That the State and Territorial aux

al States and Territories, make arrange
ments. each in their respective localities,
to secure representatives as shall be DEEM

SAN Francisco. May S.-The explosion
of gas in street cistern, last night, seri-
ously injured six men, but not fatally.
A mob of eight-hour men, armed with
clubs, have prevented laborers in several
parts of the city from working over time
for two days past. Labor exchange finds
the demand exceeds the supply. The crops
soon to be harvested will create large de-
mand, and the railroad companies are still
calling for heln. There is a good demand
for freight to New York Uid the Isthmus.

New ARRANGEMENT.-Bya new arrange
ment, passengers for the East on the Cen
tral Ohio Division of the B. q o. railroad
are now taken through without change
of cars. The car containing the eastern
bound passengers, is conveyed across the
Ohio river from Bellaire to Benwood on the
ferry boat, thus avoiding the climbing up
and down stairs heretofore prevailing.
This arrangement, however, will be but
temporary, as a splendid bridge is being
built across the Ohio, between the points
above named, for the Baltimore q Ohio
railroad.
