It is announced that for The purpose Of
handing Virginia over to negro domina-
ton, the Reconstruction Committee in
Congress have determined to report a
bill to excld1o 1900 white men in that
State, already registered, from exercising
the ballot Thus we see that where the
negroes, in conjunction with the few
white men who, from selfish motives,
favor negro supremacy, lack the numeri-
cal strength to carry the elections, Con-
gress is to step in and aid them by dis
franehising white men.

LEXINGTON, Va, June 10Th, 1863
The supper given by the Alumni of Wash
ington College, came off last night with
great eeIat. Gen. Echols, Of Virginia,
presided with his characteristic ease and
grace. Generals Lee and Hampton, sat on
either side of him. Many other distin-
guished gentlemen were present, among
whom | must mention Gen. Jas. A.
Walker, the once gallant commander Of the
Stonewall Brigade, Gem r. D. Lilly, Gen.
w. n. Psndleton, and Col. K. Il. Withers,
the candidate for Governor Of Virginia.
A large number of brilliant toasts were
proposed, and the speeches elected by
them were exceedingly felicitous. Col.
Withers was especially happy in respond
ing to a toast to Virginia, which, in con-
cluding his remarks, he proposed to
drink Z" in an element as pure as the
virtue other daughters, and as unstained as
the honor OF her sons" Of course, "The
President of Washington College" was
toasted, but after his Withdrawing, which
he did at quite an early hour, the greatest
enthusiasm was aroused by a proposition
from Gen. Echols to drink to "Old Mdrse
Robert"
This was done standing, and three hear
ty cheers we're given for the grand old
hero.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasures
of the occasion, and at late hour the COM
pany separated, full Of pleasant recollec-
tions of this happy reunion.
To-day we have had large and enthu-
siastic gathering of citizens, to hear ad-
dresses from distinguished gentlemen on
politics. Tomorrow, no doubt, Lexington
will put on its everyday clothes again.

Shall 10 be Adopted by the Fourth OF
July COnventiOn9
From the Washington Correspondence Bald-
more Gazette.
The city is unusually full of leading
Democrats from a distance. At quite a
gathering last night the approaching New
York Convention was the subject of grave
remark. 1t was generally conceded that
some reliable man would be the selected
standard bearer of the party, and that he
would be placed upon a platform short,
plain, aud to the purpose. As to the course
of the Southern delegates, Of whom two or
three are here, it is thought they would
unitedly and cheerfully yield ready ac-
quiescence in what should appear to be the
wishes OF thereal representation ofthe Dem
ocratic party at the North, but that they
should not be regarded or treated as cyphers,
but as peers. Another very important
matter was discussed-that Of the famous
two-thirds rule. Il was contended that
whatever considerations 10 bygone days
might have been urged in its favor, time
had demonstrated that its observance bad
rather distracted than cemented the party.
The inevitable tendency Of its adoption
now would be merely to defeat the will Of
the majority. A third of the members oi
the convention, belonging 10 the odds and
ends Of personal cliquss under its operation,
have the power either to force an objeo-
tionable candidate upon the party or 10
disrupt the organization. Its Inauguration
in 1874 laid the foundation of the schism
between the Northern and Southern wings
of the Democratic party, and finally IN
1860 led not only to the disruption Of The
only national Rerty then existing, bat, as a
necessary conss4 4sence, TO sectional warfare.
There cannot at this day be g single sound
reason advanced in fsyorof Its continuance,
and in the opinion of wise heads il should
be formally abandoned as soen as the
Fourth Of July Convention assemblies. Az
substitute il was thought at the gathering
referred to a rule preliminsrily pledging
every member 10 abide by and support the
choice Of majority might answer all profit
able purposes.

a Man his own Grandrauhcr.

A Man his own Grandfather.
The following remarkable coincidence
will be read with interests Some time
since 1t was announced that man at
Titusville, Pennsylvania, committed
suicide for the strange reason that he
had discovered that be was his own
grandfather. Leaving a dying state
ment explaining this singular circum-
stance, we will not attempt to unravel
it, but give his own explanation of the
mixed-up condition Of his kinsfolk in
his OWE words. He says, 81 married
a widow who had grown-up daughter.
Ny father visited our house very often,
fell in love with my atepdaqghter, and
married her. So my father became
my son-iR-law, and my stepdsughter
my mother, because she was my fathers
wife, Some tiue afterwards, my wife
gave birth to a son; he was my fathers
brother-in-lsw, and my uncle, for he
was the brother Of my step-mother
Ny fathers Wife-i.e {. my step-daughter
had also q son; he was, of course,
my brother, and in the mean time my
grandchild, for he was the son of my
daughter. Ny wife was my grand
mother, because she was my mothers
mother 1 was my wife's husband and
the grandchild at the same time. And
as the husband of a persons grand
mother is his grandfather, l was my
own grandfather" After this logical
we are not surprised that
the unfortunate man should have taken
refuge in oblivion. 1t was the most
married family and the worst mixed
that we ever heard Of. To unravel
such an entangling alliance could not
have resulted otherwise than in an aber-
alton of mind aud subsequent suicide.

Grant, Sherman aud Thomas.

During the recent army reunion at
Chicago, Governor Bross of the Trib-
une, held reception at his residence.
A reporter thus desaribes the three
leading figures of the company;
The hour appointed was eight.
Soon after the company began TO arrive,
General Grant was on time As lie
mounted the stairs, followed By his staff,
the band played "Hail to the Chief"
He was received by Governor, Mrs.
and Miss Bross, and immediately took
up his position at the right Of the
drawing room. He was dressed IN q
black suit, with the conventional swal-
low tail, and the orthodox white neck
tie, He looked we'll and seemed to be
in excellent health and spirits. His
greetings were unaffected and cordial.
His bow to the ladies was low, aHd his
few words warm and hearty. lie
shook hands with all. He seemed per
fectly at ease, aud received the eongia-
tions Of his friends with diguided' sim
plieity. aua .is-- 3
More guests arrived nd were pre-
Aented. when General Sherman was
announced, and the band struck up,
"See the COnqusring Hero C0mes.p
And in he came, hero every inch of
him. He looked so. He was conduc-
ted to the left of the draWing-room,
where he stood during the evening.
His tai form lowered above al who
surrounded him, and his great massive
head could be seen from every part Of
the room. He was sttired in the uu-
dress uniform Of Lieutenant General,
aud wore three stars which indicate
his rank. General Sherman's face,
when in repose, is stern and severe.
The closely cut beard has not soften
ing effect but seems to harden the
strongly marked and clearly defined
features. But he is not always stern.
There was 20 severity about him last
night. He was smiling Ike a basket Of
chips. When be smiles he means it.
aud the humor that Turks quietly in
the corners Of his mouth, aud spsrkles
in his searching, deep-set eyes breaks
forth once in a while, ike last evening,
TO amuss all who had a kind word, q
gentle smile, and a hearty hand shake
for ali. ao.'a
General Scho6eld aud staff next
arrived. He was dressed in evening
costume, and stood between Generals
Grsnt and Sherman. General Scho-
field has q fine good nasured counte-
nance, bright eyes, and = large, we'll
developed head set in stout and me-
dium sized body. He is graceful aud
dignifed in al bis motious, sa. is .s-7.sa
The library was devoted to Generals
Thomas aud Mcdowell They are much
the same size, Fine, large men, both
of them. General Thomss has fine
presence, the finest, perhaps, Of any Of
the warriors. He is dignity persOniied.
His head is square and large; the
features time-worn the beard grew.
General Mcdowell is younger. He
wore q black mOustache and goatee.
Both were in uniform. They shared
the attention of the visitors, and slI
who got near, paid their respects. Be.
sides these men of the highest rank in
military history, there were others who
also did good aud gallant service 10 the
war. Probably there never was before,
in this city, at least, so much military,
greatness and genius assembled under
one roof at one time" cs1
