The dispatch concerning the action OF the
British Government on the question OF the
Scotch reform in the House of Commons was
inaccurate The following is the correct report:
Mr.. Baxter, the member for Montrose, on
Monday night moved as an amendment to the
Scotch reform bill, that the number Of Scotch
members of the House of Commons be in
creased by taking the franchise from some OF
the English boroughs. This amendment,
which was opposed by the, Ministers on Mon
day hight, but which was carried on division
OF the House last night, was accepted by Dis
raeli. m The Premier subsequently, proposed on
the part of the Ministry anew clause, proVid
ing that persons excused from the payment OF
rates by reason of their poverty be not emit
tied to vote The further consideration Of the
bill was then postponed. a9fT 80 4gar

A CURIOUS DIVORCE Casa divorce case
came before the Court Of this city, and was
heard by Judge Barnard, iu Chambers, on
Tuesday, showing the ease with which divor-
COS can be obtained and the necessity of more
protection by law to the unfortunate victims of
upprincipled people and law shysters. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Smith got divorce from his
wife in the Supreme Court here in December
1865, on the ground Of alleged adultery
Mrs. Smith, with her five children, the off
spring of this man, was living at Newport, KY,
at the time, but never heard or knew anything
about the proceedings OF her husband to obtain
a divorce. In fact, is was not till Smith went
home to his family in the same month, and
just before leaving them, that he told bis wife
he was divorced from her. Of course the poor
woman was astounded at this announcement
and protested against her husbands conduct;
but she failed to obtain from him any informa-
ton as to where or how he got the divorce
She ultimately found the decree among the re-
cords of the Supreme Court of this State.
The case, as it came up on Tuesday, was on
motion to set aside the decree as fraudulent and
void. Smith, it appears. had married again
since the divorce was obtained, and had been
actually appointed last February to the lucra-
tive position of United States Consul at Homo
lulu, Sandwich Islands. The case is to come
up again for decision on the 18th of june

AnAppeal to Citizens Of Virginia.
We in Virginia are told that we must help
to put in operation a Constitution made by
aliens, carpel-baggers, and blacks; Const:-
tutioo which leaves our property attbe mercy
of those who own 10 property; Constitution
which diSIranchses many OF our most eniight-
ened and useful citizens, and prohibits those
who. can-Vote from elccting men Of their choios
toofices of trust and profit; a Constitution
that obterates all the traditions and charac-
teristics of old Virginia. and substitutes for
them those of Northern carpet baggers.
We are also appealed to, to turn against our
own flesh and blood, and to elect Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and
Congressman at large; men who have not a
sympathy or sentiment 10 common With US,
ana whose highest merit is that they have been
extreme their antaeonism to Us, and in their
hostility to every thing that bears the stamp
of good cd Virginia. alr
A canvass for the Constitution and the men
we have described, is now opening 10 Virginia,
and Virginia people are appealed to for their
support. ~ lao - S-3..1

FnAUDs.-It is one Of the most singular
things that, despite the frequent exposures Of
the various gift-swiCdles, lottery enterprises,
etc, by which credulous people are cheated
out of their money, the crop of fools should be
SO uniform and afford such rich harvest to
adventurous rogues. One would think that a
few undertakings like the Crosby Opera House,
the Gettysburg Asylum, and the lotteries in
faugurated here, but never drawn here, would
open the eyes of even the most stolid. Yet it
does not do it. Every few days some Sound
rel is arrested who has been getting piles of
letters with enclosures 10 answer to some swlnd-
ling appeal or other, and people will not learn
that the man who proposes to give them
small fortune, or even q valuable git, tor g
mere trife, is inevitably O swindler and q
cheat. Wasksngto7I Express. u"

GRAzIERs AND CATTLE DEALERS. "A cor
respondent at Vicksburg, Mississippi, writes as
follows: 4 ..a .-at en- "a --G f"5@ :
"Texas beef cattle weighing from 500 to 700
pounds are brought in large numbers to this
place, sold at from So to SIS per head, ship
ped to Illinois. and Indiana by steamer,
grazed until fall and then shipped East as beef.
Why could not these cattle be put on cars
here shipped to Salem, Va, thence scattered
through the Valley, grazed and fattencd and
then be shipped by rail to Baltimore and
Philadel phia? They would be fat when they
left here and the loss from the few days on the
cars would soon be recovered. The supply OF
cattle in Texas may be said to be inexhaustible,
and by this means the deficiency in yoRr sec
ton could be supplied if the graziers have
money to buy. But small apltal would be
required for some OF your enterprsing men to
make this a profitable business-it would tend
largely to occupy your lands in grass and thus
supply your deficiency in labor. The cars
need not be changed between this point. and

The CHICAGO PLATFORM impeach-
ment policy is sustained, and the President
sharply condemued but no attempti is made to
read out of the party the Republican Senators
who voted not guilty. The question of univer.
sal suffrage is provided for at the South, while
in the North it is RENTED to the several
States to be dealt With. The currency ques
ton is treated vaguely but yet with decIara-
ton that the national credit must be maintain
ed, and that the national obligations must be
paid in letter and spirit. Taxation should be
equaIized and reduced as rapidly as possible,
and the redemption of the national debt be
extended over long time. The resolutions
declare for protection OF T. 8. citizens abroad
for the payment Of soldiers bounties; for q
liberal emigration policy, and express sympa-
thy with the oppressed of all nations.
