A Question.

The northern States, with haste pro-
portioned to the party malignity which
prompted them, adopted the constitutional
amendment. Ohio and New Jersey have
withdrawn their ratification of that amend
ment. We have not doubt the peo-
pie of the entire northern States out Of
New England would follow the example if
the question were brought fairly and
squarely before them.
But this is not possible just now; and
before the people can obtain an opportu-
nifty to speak out On this matter, the
coerced southern Ststes-coerced under
the negro governments established by the
lawless Congress-will, nearly all of them,
have adopted that amendment. 1t will
in that way get the approval of enough
States to make it a part Of the Constitu-
ton, obligatory upon all the States.
Now, the question arises, Will the north
ern people submit to that amendment thus
Iawlessly and brutally forced into the Con-
This question is one not to be
gotten over. The amendment is one OF
the wrongs of these days, whose rightiDg
will be matter of gitation-earnest and
persevering-until the rightiDg is accom-
plished. Rely upon it.

Removal Of Justices of the Peace from
Office.


We publish this morning an order from
General ScHoFIELD removing from office the
Justices of the Hastings Court, or rather
the Justices of the Peace for the city OF
Richmond. We can scarcely recognize
the order as one of General SCHoFIELD's
He has never before attempted to be witty
in his general orders. This order reads
more like "retort courteous upon the
part Of partisan editor, or of stump
speaker, than the orders of Command
ing General.
We hold that the court had sufficient
reasons for its failure to require tobacco
inspectors to take the iron-clad oath.
Apart from the fact that General ScHo-
FIELD had himself referred similar ques
ton to the discretion of the court, we can
very easily understand how the court
might have failed to recognize tobacco in
spectors as officers whose duty it was to
swear that they had never engaged in re-
bellion! Such requirement must appear
ludicrous to all persons who know what
the duties of tobacco inspector are. For
our part, we should as soon have thought
of requiring the oath Of tobacco manu-
facturer or cigar-maker.
Protests are, however, unavailiDg, and
we shall make none. We realize little
more clearly our unhappy condition, when
ever such an event as this occurs; but We
do not complain. The Justices are no
doubt glad enough to be rid Of thankless
office. 1t is the people who are to suffer,
not the Justices. But time will bring all
these things out right.

Mr.. johnson Moves Again


In tho rare and curious game piayea
with such pertinacity by Mr. JOHNSON anu
Congress. another move is made oy mt'
JOHNSON. he removes STANTON oy uiioss
order from, the nest in which he mas oeeh
sitting in the War Department. anu iion
which. like spider, he has been concoe.'ns
his deyiltry, and appoints to succeed MN
General THOMAS.
MIR. JOHNSON ought to understand his
own business; yet 1t may be inferred from
his blunder with reference to General
SHERMAN that he does not always fix up
matters in apple pie order. We hope he
is better posted now. Yet there has not
appeared to us any tender side to General
THoMAs's character. We have not yet
perceived anything in him to encourage
the impression that in humanity and for
bearance he would much excel the con-
gressional majority. To be little palmer,
we are yet to learn that he would migitate
the rigors Of reconstruction and modify
the congressional plan with the view to
restore the political power of the South to
the whites, who alone can preserve order
and restore prosperity to this PROSTATE
land.
If we are mistaken, we shall be delight
ed to know it. The more especially be-
cause General THOMAS is Yirgin1an. II
we are not mistaken, what does Mr..
JOHNSON gain by this new move! We shall
see.
We conjecture this will be followed by
the appointment of some one to the new
district of the Atlantic.
Congress will doubtless take the inn
parchment fever again, for this removal
will be treated as an outrage upon Con-
gress.
The President adheres to military men
in his appointments. The fact is, they are
the fashion. None but iron hands can
work in the party FORCES Of the Federal
capital. Mr.. JOHNSON bad as well try to
Brighten an army with syringe as to put
serious aspect upon Congress by calling
to his aid civilian in these martial times.

BsySE next arose to speak on the fran
chise question, and confined shimsen ~,
some time to the attempt to prove that sne
white race was the inferior one OF the Two;
He tried to prove that the Egyptians ana
antediludivites were negroes, and that the
white man, until somewhat in de oooh VI
Kings, in de Ole Testament, ne Dehesea'
whar some man whar dey COULDN'T gu ue
truth out Zen, went out and become "ni.e
as leopard. Dat was de first time de
white man was ever heard on IN oe
Bible. But de white folks was IKE de
horse dat de Orrishman sold to q man, an
tole him he was all right, and when 90
man got home he found de horse pima ~
both ewes. When he come back to de
Orrishman, de Orrisbman say: ION iai'n'
eff de horse is blind, OATS his misfortune
and not his fault" TITS der misfortune
and not DER fault dat dey was white. he
spoke Of reading and writing, and saio' 10
ole times, nobody couldn't write, and every
body read and wrote by geogilphlcal hg,
ures, He asserted that all the arts ana
sciences had DER origin from black man
dat music come from him, and no couia
outsing any thing in God Almighty's world.
He did not like to 60 on IN us
way. but he would do it because
he didn't know when he was goin to git
another show at 'em. He continued with
his usual clap-trap, bringing up, as ne sald'
de historical pints, until his hour aha
half expired. In conclusion, he told the
story of the mill purchased by the captain:
A man wanted to sell mill which would
grind anything be want-all he had TO 90
was to say "grind SALT" and salt would
come "grind sugar." and out it come !;
"grind -four" and out it come. De cap
tain stole de mill, and carried it off to sea !;
and when he got there he started it to
grindin salt, but he didn't know de counter
part, and it KEEP on grindin, and he couldn't
stop it !; and it KEEP on grindin and grindin
until it filed de ship, and droWnded
it and de captain and all hands; and 1t
keep on grindin and grindin until it filled
de sea; and we got salt to dis day. This
was de way with the affairs in these days.
The mill had ground out Nat Turner, it
ground out John Brown, Abraham Lincoln,
and host of yuthers; it had ground out
this war, it had ground the rebels to the
war, and it would keep on grindin and
grindin intel it had got 'em where they
ought to be.
At the conclusion of his harangue, the
Convention adjourned until Monday at
II o'clock.

Death Of Major John Dooley.

Major JOHN DooLEY died at his resi-
dence, in this city, at o'clock on yes
terday morning, after brief attack
of pneumonia. He was a native Of
Limerick, Ireland ; came to this coun-
try in 1884 resided first in Alexandria;
came to Richmond in 1886; and was in his
6fty-seventh year at the time Of his death.
When the late war broke out, Major
DooLEY was captain of the Montgomery
Guard, and that company, under his COM
mand, entered the Confederate army as
Company G, First Regiment of Virginia
Volunteers, Colonel (now General) MOORE.
That regiment sustained the brunt of the
engagement at Bull Run, and Company G
was in the hottest of the fight. The con-
duct of Captain DooLEY was conspicuous
for cool and determined courage. In the
battle of the first Manassas, fought three
days afterwards, Captain DooLEY'S COM
mand was not in the main engagement, but
was placed in an important position, and
was part Of the time exposed to heavy
fire. His conduct in these early engage
ments of the war entitled him to compli-
ments from his superiors, and General
LoNGsTREET lin whose division he was)
selected him to command four companies
to storm battery-a perilous service
which was afterwards dispensed with be-
cause of change of plan.
Captain DooLEY marched with the army
of General JOHNSTON to the Peninsula to
relieve General MAGRUDER, and remained
with it until the Reorganization, having
been promoted in the mean time to the
rank of Major. When the army was re-
organized he resigned and resumed bu-
siness as q merchant in this city. He
became a member of that most useful
organization the Ambulance Committee
of this city, which rendered such SER
vice wherever the work of death was
going on upon the bloody fields of Virginia
as entities it to enduring recollection and
gratitude.
This brave, warm hearted, genial Irish
man is dead, and is lamented by troops of
friends, in whose hearts he was as CON-
pletely enshrined as though he were one
of the most favored of the natives of the
land. He was one of the truest represen-
tatives of his own bright isle; conspicuous
for the tenderness and devotion of his do
nestle relations one of the most sincere
and unalterable of friends with tear for
the distressed and purse open to the des-
titute; with cbeerfulness and kindness for
all, and humor and wit that welled up
unbidden from his Irish heart; and, above
oil, an integrity and honor that were with
ont stain and without reproach.
He was public spirited and useful citi-
zen. It is melancholy pleasure to
bear testimony to the virtues of this
excellent gentleman. Such qualities as
his illumine our dark way Of life, and
strew flowers in our pathway to the grave.
They deserve to be commended, as their
possessors are ever lamented when they
die.
Heaven gives US friends to bless the present
scene;
Resumes them to prepare us for the next.
