An CHce-Seeker.

Some disgruntled Radical writing lron'
Richmond 70 the New York Tribune frames
an indictment against General SToNE"AS
as an alder and abettor OF the reoeis Oh
Virginia. The charges are the same we
have so frequently heard repeated IN TINS
city-namely, that he has removed WI
GASp from office, and that he has not re-
moved ali the old capable and faithful offl-
GERS, whom this correspondent aforesaid con-
siders disqualified under the HOWARD
amendment. General SLOVENIAN IS sus-
tanned in his course by the Secretary OF
War, who knows as well as this otflce-seek-
ing correspondent that there are not respect
able Radicals enough in Virginia to fill the
offices. Of course there are fools and viii
lainB enough in that miserable faction even
here to fiji them all but decent regard
for the welfare OF the real people Is suttl'
Gent reason for not appointing such men tc
official positions. Amongst the respectable
whites of Virginia such characters as the
T,'ijWe'S correspondent could not obtain in
any county o dozen votes. 1t is even
doubtful whether the negroes would vote
for them but it is certain that the whites
either hate them as traitors to their own
race or dcspise them as too contemplate for
notice.
The Irib,me'S correspondent expresses a
confident belief that the Constitution framed
by the negro Convention would be ratified
if the people we're allowed to vote upon that
question. 1t is possible that he is silly
enough to be sincere in this declaration
but VIC doubt whether he is or not. We
give it as our opinion that if the military
forces and the working tools Of the Freed
mems Bureau were taken out of the way,
and the Constitution submitted to the voters
it would be rejected by an overwhelming
majority. The soldiers and the Bureau are
the props of the Radica! faction in Virginia
Remove them, and Badicalism will never
again be heard of il this State except as a
dead and decaying carcase.

A Wise Editor.

The Philadelphia Telegraph thinks the'

were "destituse Of ali the higher attributes
OF craftsmanship" The learned editor cues
as proof of their folly thatin the Con'eae-
rate Congress " one of their exped'en's .. !"

" dred per cent. to force the hoiaei0 y
" change them for new loan.
One hundred per cent. OF anything rs
reckoned by southerners "dest'tnte OF the
higher attributes of craftsmanship 70 -oe
tbe whole of that thing. So that, unless
the Telegraph tells falsehood, our states
men taxed the bonds out of existence "to
" force the holders to exchange them for a
" new loan"
Now, they must have had some object in
view in engaging in even this silly leeisia-
ton. What could it have beenS viii the

for another set at the same rate of interest
We need not pursue this subject further.
Every man not destitute" Of common
sense will come to the conclusion that the
telegraph has slandered the statesmen OF
the South. When that journal shall have
learned that one hundred per cent. of dol

lecture southern leaders upon the poverty

THE AMENDMENT TO RE MADE OPERA
TIvE.-We learn from one of our exchanges
that the Cincinnati Gazette calls upon Con-
gress to meet in September for the purpose
of adopting Inappropriate Legislation " to
carry into effect the HOWARD amendment.
1t desires to have the number of represen-
tatives from Kentucky reduced by two, and
the number from Maryland by one. The
Gazette should recollect that as Massachu-
sets excludes a portion Of her population
from the ballot-box because they cannot
read and write, the basis of representation
in that State must also be reduced in the
same proportion that the number Of per-
sons thus disfranchised bears to the whole
number of adult males in the State.
The southern States which now allow the
negroes to vote will each gain number Of
representatives under this new arrange,
ment.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
Letter from DanyilIe.

DANvILLE, VA, September 3, 1868.
For several days past some little excite
ment has occurred in reference to some al
legged fraud in tobacco inspection in this
place. Officers connected with that depart
ment have been in town for q week or more
investigating the matter, but have left
without bringing anything to light. We
suppose that everything is right.
Our former collector, Mr.. Thomas u.
Wooding, having rendered his resignation.
it became necessary that new one should
be appointed. Several candidates were IN
nomination who were citizens Of the town.
Mr.. Wheeler, postmaster at this place (who
is supposed to be confirmed Radically, was
also in nomination. The election came up
before the Town Council last night, and
there were six councilmen present, four OF
whom voted for Wheeler-viz., John Nj.
Johnston, cashier of Danville Bank
John W. Holland, tobacconist, who was
among the first secessionists of the town,
and who had secession pole raised on his
lot George ". Taylor, stonemason and
Woodworking, honest man, but who. un,
fortunately, has taken the wrong side Of
the question; the other member was James
Wood, assessor of the revenue, from whom
we could expect nothing else. John W
Gibson and Joseph Parkinson voted fol-
home candidates.
A large number of our citizens met last
night at the Masonic Hall. Speeches were
made by Colonel George c. Cabell, DR.
Thomas P. Atkinson, T. G. Wooding, Will
liam J. Moore, and others, denouncing il
very bitter terms the recent action of the
above-named Councilmen.
Resolutions we're also passed requesting
John NJ. Johnston and John W. Holland
(members elected by the people) to resign
forthwith. The other two members wht
voted for Wheeler were appointed by Gene
raj Schoield.
From mat we can learn from every por-
ton Of the country, the prospect for gooc
corn crop is very fattering.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the Border Agricultural Fair, which
commences in this place on the goth of Oc
tober. We hope to see your city well repre-
scented at this fair.
The Farmers Friend, monthly period
CAL will be issued in this place about the
lst of October. Yours, K.

PETERSBURG, September 8, 1868.


Having heard il intimated that there WAS
frequently 40 much discrepancy between
nv quotations of this market and those
which are given Of the Richmond market
as TO resct iniuriously on one or the other
as the case may happen TO be, have taken
some pains to-day to look into the matter
and to compare prices of some OF the lead
ing articles. My report Of the tobacco mar
ket Yesterday was founded on information
derived from the head of commission
house which does more business IN tnat
branch of trade than any other hali-ooaen
houses in the city. After comparlng, e, .n :.
rates therein given with those OF the Wh'9
Of this morning, and with the latest price
current from a Richmond house, no sub
stantial difference is apparent. Our city
papers also give pretty much the same quo
tations. The same remark will apply to the
wheat market, only that one Of our papers
from the fact no doubt that the list of prices
had not been carefully revised-places wheat
at higher figure than the actual sales war
ranted. Flour is generally higher here
than in Richmond, and the reason is OBJ
vious. Richmond is the great source of
supply, and Petersburg is an important
point of distribution. A great quantity OF
-four is annually sent out from hence to
North Carolina, and this year it has been
larger than usual. Corn, also, has been
flowing in that direction to supply heavy
demand, and it also has accordingly been
higher here than in the Richmond market
These remarks are applicable to the re-
spective market reports Of this week. The
figures are not at hand for running any
parallel for preceding weeks; but while
claim no exemption from error, think the
quotations have given have usually very
nearly represented the state of the market
The decline in wheat is likely to have
corresponding effect on corn. From sl.25
at which considerable sales were made yes
terday, the most that can be realized fol-
white to-day is s1.22.
The bale of new cotton mentioned in my
letter last evening was grown by Messrs
Barefoot & Brother, of Wilson county, N
G. The weight is four hundred and sever
pounds, and it is classed as prime middling
Megsrs. Robert A. Martin & Co., to whom i
was consigned, sold it to-day for thirty-fv'
cents to the Matoaca Manufacturing Com
pany, by whom it will be worked up imme
diately. The same gentlemen also paid the
premium of $50, which they offered some
time since for the first bale. Altogether
the growers realized nearly 5000, to which
they are well entitled by their skill and in
| dustry. :.

New York papers on the Vermont
Election

New York Papers on the Vermont
Election.
There is nothing said in the editoria,
columns oFthe World in regard to the Yer.
mont elections. The Times says:
"Ths election scatters all the nonsense
aboutDemocratic gains, dispels all the de-
lusyns of Republican apathy and disaffec-
tia, demonstrates the popularity Of Gen
cal Grant, and shows the power of Repub-
Acan principles"
I The Tribune exults, and slips in word
in favor of "work that is, in favor of
sending the Tribune to every voter. 1t
says;
1.-The lesson Of the triumph is this ::
WORK WILL BRING VICTORY. In Vermont,
as in all loyal States, the Republican party
and the Republican policy are endorsed by
every calm and thoughtful citizen. The
issue was never palmer. Upon one side we
have the enemies of the country, on the
other its friends. 1t is the issue of Sumter
over again. Then Beauregard menaced the
national existence just as Blair now threat
ems the national peace"
The Herald is not disposed to accept the
result as indicating anything in particular.
II says:
3D." Various causes might be assigned for
this result; but we forbear at present to
speculate upon them. There can be no
doubt, however, but that to the course Of
certain tire-eating southern orators in pro-
claiming their unwavering devotion to the
rebel flag, in their vulgar and vicious de-
nunciations of General Grant, in their re-
vival of the dead issues of the past, and in
other ways, alike unwise, impolitic, and
! revolutionary,-in al of which they were
D aided by their allies, the Copperhead press
q OF the North-can this Democratic collapse
in Vermont be mainly attributed"
=" 1t is proper to await the result of the cleo
ton in Maine q fortnight hence before a
safe judgment can be formed Of the tendency
OF the popular mind in the New England
States upon the grave questions now before
the whole American nation. Wait until we
hear from Maine"
The Herald is not far wrong. We made
similar remark on yesterday. If Maine
shall show a gain, large or small, for the
Radicals, SEYMOUR may consider his chance
Of being successor of GEORGE WASHINGTON
as small indeed.

10 80 all these cases we're disposed of, and

CoNsoLAToRY.-TheN National Intelligencer
of yesterday adduces figures to prove that
whilst the Radicals have gained largely
over their last years majority in Vermont
the Democrats have gained more votes rela-
lively than they. That is to say, whilst the
Radicals gain 10000 on 32,OOO-not quite
q third-the Democrats gain nearly 1000
on less than $4,000. This kind of figuring,
we need hardly add, will not materially
assist in the election of our candidates.
