THE World and the Negroes.

q The New York World evidently labors
under the delusion that the negroes can be
reached by. argument. 1t desires the De-
mocratic party to make an effort to secure
some of the negro votes. Hence its objec-
tionable articles.
The World, if it were fit to be leading
journal, would knowthat the Conservatives
of the South are the best judges upon ques-
tons of this sort, and would concede that
the southern politicians, who, MIR. GREE
LEY says, are the shrewdest the world
ever saw understand their own interests
and. the negro. character well enough to
know what is the wisest course to pursue
in reference. to the newly -entranch
freedmen. The negro cannot be in
fuenced by arguments. He is governed
by the Bureau, with the aid of scala
wags and carpet-baggers. 1t would be
as wise to make speeches to q flock
of sheep as to q crowd of negroes. If
they we're such men as the World thinks
they are, it would be wrong to deprive them
of the right of suffrage. If that paper
really believes that they, like white men,
can comprehend political questions, and
can be induced to vote understandingly as
between one candidate and another, and as
between one policy and another, it should
be strenuous supporter of negro suffrage.
IT is because we hold the negroes as a. class
to be utterly incapable Of exercising this
right intelligently, and therefore danger
GUS element in the body-politic, that we
would deny to them the right to vote and
hold Office. In coneeding that they will
vote intelligently, the World surrenders
the whole question.

INVESTIGATION OF THE CHARGES AGAINST
JUDGE MEREDITH. military commits
sion assembled for the purpose of inyesti
eating the charge of fraudulent action upon
the part of the Circuit Court OF Richmond
in unlawfully admitting foreigners to citi
zenship met on yesterday at the usual hour,
and the following witnesses, previously eI'
amined, were recalled:
Willian HermeS'S TeStimony.-Was re.
iected when went to register with my first
papers, but after receiving the final papers
from Judge Meredith's court, on the same
day, registered without difficulty. Was
registered on q previous occasion; don't
remember the date, but believe it was
called the first registration. Have never
voted. Did not come to the city at the time
of the election ut oil. Was busy in the
country.
The testimony of Frederick Aneman was
taken through On Interpreter, and was
more confused and conflicting than on the
previous occasion. He had never received
final papers, because the clerk of the court
said he would have to prove residence Of
FIVE years, and he had only been here two
and q half. Was never registered. Did
not apply to be registered in any ward in
the city; is positive Of that fact.
This closed the testimony in the case,
and the commission adjourned sine die.
The record, made up of verbatim reports
of all the evidence, will be inspected "
leisure by the officers composing the COM
mission, and doubtless the verdict will Be
rendered in few days.

Letter from the University.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
Cats statue Of Jefferson, after lying
eight years in the case In which it was
shipped from Florence, has been placed in
the position chosen for it by the artist him
self lin the library hall of the University !.
The raising of the statue and pedestal
through height Of fifty feet to the library
window, by way Of the rear portico OF the
rotunda, and swinging the statue into it's
place, were delicate operations well per.
formed by Mr.. Meade, ship-builder, OF
Richmond. Though the statue was imme-
diately yelled, to await the formal ipaugu-
ration on the LIST Of July, opportunity was
given to Judge of the merits Of this noble
work of art. It Is superb. The face is one
.of the finest ever saw in sculpture. 1t is
% work which will win long=lasting renown
for Gan, the Virginia sculptor. The plea
sure with which we looked on it was min
gled with sorrow for the untimely death
Of the artist" The dead, the doubly dead,
in that he died go young"
The examinations in the different schools
of the University are in full progress. The
young men are SO intent on their work that
the place has all the quiet and repose OF q
country home on Sunday. All are looking
forward to the closing exercises with bright
anticipations. The young ladies are already
rapidly arriving, though it is said that very
few of the young gentlemen devoted them
selves to the 'tcalico" ticket this session.
General John s. Preston will deliver the
address before the students and literary So
cieties on Tuesday, June 3Oth. The inau-
guration of the statue of Jefferson will take
place on July LIST. Address by Hugh Blair
Grigsby, Esq.
The delivery of diplomas, and the address
before the Society Alumni by Colonel
Charles Marshall, of Baltimore, will take
place on July I'd, which is the closing day
Of the exercises. The celebrations of the
Washington and Jefferson Societies will
take..place on the evenings of the 18th and
Goth Of June, respectively. 5.

Conviction at Last.

To the establishment Of everybody, the
persons accused of conspiracy to defraud
the Government were yesterday convicted
in the United States Circuit Court. The
universal opinion was that there would be
hung jury; and the Inference is that the
money Of the convicts, having come lightly,
fed too fast away to leave working CAPT.
tai for bribery. This is common opinion.
But We conjecture the presence Of Judge
CHASE had powerful effect in overawing
trickery and driving corruption far back
into its dark and filthy cavern.
We confess We feel sympathy for the per-
sons whose practices have been brought to
CLOSE by this untoward judgment. It is
but poor yindication of justice to thrust
the small rogues in prison when the great
ones go unaccused, rolling IN their ill-gotten
wealth. The country is fall Of them.
They are to be found in high life, and
amongst public men in and out OF Con-
gress. It is true that this is but q repeti-
ton Of the experience Of all times ;abut it

begged permission to say word. He saH
he had not entertained any objection 10 \

t.iect to the character Of the witnesses and
the improper evidence upon which he, an
innocent man, had been convicted. In the
presence Of this vast assemblage he entered
his protest against the same. With This
protest he announced himself ready to abide
the decision Of the court.
The Chief Justice replied that in biz
opinion all the prisoners had been fairly
tried. If, as inspector, his duties had been
discharged by seeing the law carried out:
and by protecting the interests Of the Go.

here sat without exchanging word for
nearly ON hour. Elsom, fne-looking, gen.

buried his face in his hands. He has
beautiful wife and family to mourn his dis
grace. Anderson is also handsome man.
he betrayed no emotion, except when, later
in the evening, o friend mentioned his wife.
He then burst into tears, and said he would
like to see her before he went there. Pet
terson was silent, and occupied himself in
perusing the bankrupt law. Gouldman sat
in the window and smoked his pipe.
At about o'clock the prisoners were
placed in an omnibus, in company with
Marshals Van Wrinkle and Lynham, and
driven to the Libby, where they are now
confined. 1t has not yet been decided
whether they will be consigned to the Vir.
ginia penitentiary or sent to Albany, New
York.

100000 would defray the expenses OF the
anticipated convention to change the Con-
stitution; yet that body has already been
charge to the State Of $40, 600, and the
amount will probably reach $3.50, 1000. Il
tothese sums we add about $50, 900 of un-
collected taxes for;the year 1867, we shall
have accounted for q deficit of $4,000 in
the Treasury, which would have gone far
toward the payment of the July interest.
On the LIST October, 1865, the beginning
of the last fiscal year, there was q balance
of s91, 302.6s, with considerable amount
of taxes still in arrear. Since then great
difficulties have arisen in the collection of
these remaining taxes-such as the scarcity
Of money, the failure of crops, and an I'M
aeiaingness on the part of those saoio aoere
able to buy to bid for their ns;ghbors' pro-
pertyachea exposed to sale for tares. Their
ultimate collection is altogether problemati-
cal. -. x. ....,.
Under these circumstances, it might have
been best to have postponed the January
interest but an earnest and perhaps an
orefweening desire to maintain the credit
OF the State determined the Executive
Governor PEIRpoINr, with the concurrence
Of General ScHorIELD,) to make the at
tempt to pay. The january interest was
paid partly with borrowed money. The
borrowed money has been repaid to the
banks from which it was borrowed, with
.ne exception Of s25,0oO not yet due, for
ING payment Of which there IS an abundant
b haa a;s. m the Treasury. This probably
