B@. The Petersburg Times, Wells
organ for that city, is unusually severe
on Col. Walker, making wry faces at
him and calling him all kinds of ugly
names, among which we notice, Nor
folk copperhead carpet-bagger," &c,
Col. Walkers popularity hurts the
Times badly, and as it can get no dam
aging truths to tell against him, it re.
sorts to making mouths at him and
calling him nick-names. The Times is
badly put to it for weapons of warfare,
and we should think those it has adopt.
ed entirely unsuited to the occasion,
particularly when its own candidate is
so faulty, and presents so many weak
points of attack.
On the other hand, Col. Walker and
his friends should take comfort, for
Dug. Wallach in recent speech at
Alexandra said he goes for Walker
tooth and toe nail, and said he (Walker)
was "the handsomest man in the State. u
That's good capital to go into can
vass with these times. Bully for you

black man of our Commonwealth, and
is really Ga peace offering" which has
been centered on by the white people
in hopes that the colored people will
likewise center on him. He is a Re-
publican, and is acceptable to President
Grant, Congress and the native white
population of Virginia, and it depends
very much on the action of the colored
people of our State in accepting him as
"a peace offering" whether their pro-
testations of friendship for the whites
can hereafter be believed by intelligent
people. If they reject him they will
probably find the rejection much more
damaging to them in the eyes of Con-
gress than the act of the white people Of
the South in rejecting the Howard
Amendment, and they may find their
next offer coupled with harder terms,
as was the case with the whites
This view of the subject is important to
the colored people of the State.

"Ciov." WELLS MISTAKE.

Our excellent "Governor" has made
a terrible blunder in lacking about with
the view to head off Col. Walker, and
to counteract the effect produced by the
Convention held at Richmond last week.
He will be likely now to fall between
two stools. In attempting, through
motives of policy alone, to conciliate the
Conservatives and moderate Republi~
cans, he will estrange some of his ne
gro admirers, and the scalawags and
carpet-baggers.
He will not secure one additional vote
from the former class, and will be apt
to lose the support of many of the lat
ter. They, as well as the Conservatives,
know how earnestly he protested before
the Reconstruction Committee, only last
February, against any modification of
the Underwood Constitution. 8, A Walk
er Republican, at our elbow, informs us
that Wells said to that Committee in
his hearing, that " a Republican would
not be permitted to live in Virginia, if
the test-oath clause in the Constitution
should be stricken out" Much more
he said, to thes effect; and the pub
lie were informed, by the published let
ter of Mr.. Beck, a member Of that
Committee, that Wells exerted all his
powers to induce the Committee to re-
commend the abrogation of that feature
of the Reconstruction law which pro-
vides for second registration in all of
the unreconstructed States. The reason
assigned for making this recommends.
ton was, that new registration would
let in large number of whites who
had refused to register at first, and there
by tend to insure his defeat and that of
his party. And Mr.. Beck further sta~
ted that Thad. Stevens, bad as he was,
sourned the proposition of Wells with
contempt, urging that to act upon it
would involve shocking breach of
good faith on the part of Congress, to
which he would never consent. Even
Thad. Stevens was not Radical enough
for our sol distant Governor l-CLynch-
burg Virginian.

From the Baltimore Gazette,
THE CUBAN RESURRECTION.

THE CUBAN INSURRECTION.
Washington, May 7, 1869.-The
policy Of this Government respecting
Cuba may be summed up in few words.
Organizations for fillibustering purposes
will be encouraged. No word of Exc
cutive disapprobation will be expressed
against open assemblies for the further
ance of the so-called instruction. The
seat of the United States Government is
permitted to be used as the headquar-
ters-in fact, the Capital--or the new
Cuban Republic. It's very Constitution
has been framed here, and substantially
adopted by the accredited or unaccredi-
ted representatives of the Cuban pat
riots. But, to save appearances, vessels
with arms, provisions and men, destined
to aid the insurrectionists, will be re-
quired to clear from hence for neutral
ports. This is the dodge. Why not
proceed upon above-board principles :?
George Francis Train is after Grant
upon this point with an Irish cudgsl.-
The gist of his proclamation is, "What
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander."

GREAT BRITAIN.

London, May 7.-Several heavy rob
berries of arms, ammunition, &C., have
occurred in various parts of Ireland
during the past few days. At Belfast a
large quantity of arms were stolen last
evening. Five persons were arrested
this morning on suspicion. Dispatches
from Cork mention the preparation of
similar outrages. There seems no
doubt that the culprits belong, in every
instance, to the Fenian organization.
The police have been ordered to exer-
else unusual vigilance.
London, May 1.-The Times says
England endeavored 10 do justice to all
parties during the late rebellion, and
must decline to acknowledge any other
motive for her action. She has offered
to submit to arbitration the question,
whsther she has been culpably negli-
gent, but she cannot go further. FIX.
travagant misrepresentation were nee
essary to furnish the basis for such 6
policy as foreshadowed Mr.. Summers
speech. The Times concludes by as.
surfing the Americans that it will prove
failure.
The Telegraph promises that England
will give an attentive ear to reasonable
propositions, but will not listen 10 move
pretensions. If no solution is now prac.
ticable, she will leave the questions now
at issue to the influence of time and the
mature judgment of the American PEG,
pie for adjustment.
London, May 1.-The House of Com.
mons has finished the consideration Of
the Irish Church bill in committee.
In the House of Lords tonight, the
Marquis of Salisbury wanted to know
if the government endorsed the policy
advocated by Mr.. Bright, that the people
must be placed in possession Of land in
Ireland in greater numbers. He said
the present uncertainty as to the posi-.
ton of the government as to the land
question was injurious.
Earl Granville in reply said he mus
decline to open the question. A bill or
the subject would be introduced at tn,
next session. He assured the House tn,
government maintain the right Of prop
erty.

RICHMOND ITEMS.
from the Whig.7

The Grand Jury of the United State,
Circuit Court on Saturday reported ,
batch of presentments, which were no
made public. A member of the Gran
and Colfax Club, not grand juror, in.
formed us that Rush Burgess, ex-Mayol
of Petersburg, and now Collector of In
ternal Revenue, is among the parties
presented. The charge against him is
that, after having voted for the ordi-
nance of secession and jeff. Davis, and
done other like acts of disloyalty, he
took the iron-clad oath. It was also
currently reported upon the streets that
such was the case.
1t was stated Saturday night upon
apparently reliable authority, that
Wardwell has been suspended by Gen
Candy, and Captain Cooke, city gauger,
appointed, temporarily, superintendent
OF the penitentiary in his place.
To-day A. j. Byrnes notified the
Government that his distillery will stop
operations. There is conseq uently now
not distillery running in or around
Richmond.
1t was regarded as certain Satur.
day evening. that General Candy has
appointed Judge Alfred Morton, of
the Henrico Circuit Court; Judge Fl. B.
Burnham, of the Hastings Court of Rich
mond, and Judge Dormon, of the Hus-
tings Court of Norfolk, Judges of the
Court of Appeals.
Col. A. C. Dunn, announces himself
candidate for Congress from the Eighth
Virginia District. He is a citizen of
Pulaski county, whose disabilities have
been removed, and supports the Walker
ticket.
AN IMPORTANT ORDER.-Gen. Canby
issues an order that, GAN persons elected
or appointed to civil office who have
subscribed the oath of Office Of July 2.
1862, and filled the same with county
clerks or with other civil officers, as re-
CURED by law, will cause duly certified
copies OF said oath to be made and filed
at these headquarters, that their ability
to qualify under the joint resolution Of
Congress passed February s, 1869,
Public No. 81 may be definitely ascer-
tanned. A failure to send forward such
oath will be an indication that the Office
is vacated under the resolution before
cited"
