the morning session yesterday Iueie were SeFe
raj propositions introduced which greatly excl
ted the ire of the colored members and caused
some rich scenes and side-talk at recess.
First was the resolution offered by Captain
Parr by which he ventured to limit Bayne
to five speeches per day. He could hardly
have offended that individual more had he
proposed to cut him down to five dollars per
day. AS the morning session closed, Baync
made haste to get at his prosecutor The
Capt. waited quietly at the door, with the sim
ole remark, 'Let him come, I'm ready for
him." The Capt. showed signs OF fight, and
some remark was made by Bayne, or some one
in close proximity, to the effect: Don't you
strike, sir" Quoth Bayne his face shining
with Indignation: did you write dat reso!u-
ton, sir?" The Capt replied cooly: II did,
SIR "Wcl, den, | considers myself better
dan any white man like you," rejoined the
Doctor, and turning on his heel, walked off !!
Any demonstration that the Capt. might have
made was checked by interposing friends.
The action of the Convention on Hines dis
franchisng clause was another cause OF lndlg-
nation, and developed the fast-growing dislike
and division Kelso, the extremist, from
Lynchburg, was particularly aroused when he
looked around him and saw that there was
good cause for postponing the question OF dis
reimbursement from the number OF vacant seats
on the Radical side. We would rather think
his accusation of crawfshing on the part OF
many absentees from so dangerous a question
was not altogether unjust. The motion OF Al
Ian to postpone the clause indefinitely, ana cs
pecially it's adoption, fell like thunderbolt-
At recess Hodges ''declar'd dat desc men whar
had gone back on de colored members ought
to be hung.
Mosely: What you want to hang EN- tor
Hodges? We amt got enough to do the
work now.
Hodges: YES, but ef dey don't do de
work no better an dey did it today, don't
want 'em at ALL wants to see 'em hung"
Kelso waxed worth Approaching proml
nent Radical, "a Virginian,) said he: 'Givc
me true Virginian. I'm tired of these weak
kneed Yankees"
Radical: Yes, VIC want Virginians. We
don't want Yankee descrters, do we| (alud-
ing to AlIen.)
Kclso talking very cxcitedly, continuing his
expressions of preference for Virginlans, and
turning to White): 'Don't you say, General,
give US true Firginians, and not Yankecs?'
White somewhat taken aback): "Wata
that?'
Kelso; "You' re true. born Virginiau, are
you not?'
White: "WelI; no. have the honor Of
being a native OF New York Tor Wisconsin it
could not be heard DISTINCTLY
Kelso somewhat subdued): "Ah we'll /
mean give me true men.
All this shows plainly to what an end the
party must come The negro, pulled up into
the belief that he is the equalot the white, and
entitled to the same privileges, exercises them
in manner so disgusting even to the extreme
Radicals, and with his prejudices worked to
the highest pitch, he advocates and demands
his white leaders to support measures under
threats of a6andonment-whic alarm them
even to the extent that they seek, with leaves
Of absence, to dodge the issues. -RtcAnl0nd
Dispatch.
IMMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA FROM TIE
SoUTH. The Warrenton Index publishes a
letter received by Messrs Shackcltord, Spill
man & Gordon. from South Carolina gentle
man who has recently purchased a Virginia
farm through their agency. The letter de-
scribes the hopeless condition Of the people Of
South Carolina, rs to any improvement in their
affairs, and says there must be an almost en-
tire exodus of our people," Many think OF
going to the Northwest, ''but would prefer
settling in Virginia if they could raise the
means of purchasing lands. - The writer adds
The offer Of small tracts OF land Of from
seventy-fyc 70 one hundred and fifty acres with
time allowed them to make all their payments
out of the soil, would attract many OF our best
and most respectable families to Virginia. At
present they have barely the means to remove
their families and while remaining here their
condition is daily becoming worse. If land
owners in Virginia will take all the facts Of the
case into consideration, and offer their lands on
q credit Of one, two, three and four years, re-
curing no payment in advance, they will be
able to dispose Of all the land they may offer
within year to class Of people whose intelli-
gcnce and industry will ensure their SUCCESS
Many of my friends, both in this district and
in Darlington, will move at the close Of this
year, and [ have no doubt many of the places
advertised by you will be bought by them. "
