We confess to not having taken pains to chase

TOO strange for us to believe, especially as atthis

the policy that advises 1t.
But though Mr.. stanton does not belong to

lie has nevertheless stood ready to follow the
advice of the Senate, whatever that might be,
and up TO the hour when the new Secretary dd

Informed, had been given to him. 1t is now said
that Senators Fcsscnden and Trumbull have ad
v.scd the Secretary to retire, and 1t is moreover
declared that he will act upon that advice to-day
and go out. We cannot trace this rumor to any
reliable source, and we are therefore inclined tc
discredit It entirely. II is probably part ant
parcel of the thousand and one rumors afoat It

It was reported yesterday with full as mucl
assurance that the President had determined tt

Richmond convention.

RICHMOND, Feb. 1.-THE members Of the con-
vention and large audience were addressed In
the Capitol tonight by Gov. Pierpoint, Judge
Rives and Hon. John N. Bolts. Gov. Pierpoint
denounced the University Of Virginia as the hot
bed from which sprung the ideas which carried
Virginia into the rebellion. Rives advocated
property and educational qualification for some
time in the future. He opposes the election OF
the petty officers Of the state by the people.
The State Conservative convention was de-
nounced as destructive instead OF Conservative.
Bolts said II the President had been impeached
year ago there would be no necessity for a
| convention now. He advocated disfranchise
| ment, especially OF the secession leaders.

1t Is due to Postmaster General Randall to
state that the detail Of some testimony In the
Daily Globe tending to implicate that officer Of
the Government in a fraudulent connivanee In
certain contracts for carrying Southern mails,
is without the least foundation, and has no sem.
blance Of truth Whatever. The testimony OF
Charles Gould, of New York, who was examined
before the select committee on Southern rail.

made in the paper referred to, and completely
vindicates Mt Randall and exonerAtes him from
