LOCAL MATTERS.

Provisions FOR THE RELIEF OF THE
s1CK AND PooR.-It is stated in the report
of the proceedings of the late national con-
ventioh of colored men at Washington that
a resolution was introduced by Fields Cook,
Kelso, and other Virginia negroes, setting
forth that persons Of their race in the
South are in starving condition, and petit
tioning Congress to afford them relief. So
far as Virginia, and the city Of Richmond
in particular, is concerned, this statement
is utterly without foundation. Since the
removal of the Bureau, the City Council
has provided for the daily supply Of the
healthy but unemployed negroes with good,
wholesome, nutritious soup and corn bread.
If anybody doubts this, let him pay visit
to the corner of Cary and Ninth streets at
any time between 8 in the morning and 5
in the afternoon, and he will be convinced.
Not satisfied with what they there receive,
however, many persist in their habits of
tbieving, and there is good reason to believe
that they are regularly organized for this
purpose. A negro reported to military
officer day or two ago that he had been
importuned to join such band, and gave
such information as may lead to the appre-
hension of its members.
AS to the sick. At the last meeting of the
Council abundant provision was made for
all requiring hospital treatment. Such
cases will be sent to the College Infirmary,
where they will be provided with board,
medical attendance, and medicine. Appli-
cations for admission should be made to
any member of the committee of the City
Council for the relief of the poor, who are
Colonel 7. P. August, General John E. Null
ford, George W. Smith, Henry Miller,
Charles D. Yale, and William Taylor. Per-
sons desiring admission may also obtain in
formation from DR.. Isaiah Fl. White, the
medical superintendent, at the Infrmary,
on Marshall street below Twelfth.

A GERMAN RE-USIoN.-Oneo of the most
pleasant affairs we have ever attended was
that given at Sauers Monticello Hotel, Oh
Broad street, on Monday evening, by q
party of young German gentlemen of this
city. The occasion was Q retnion of those
young men who hail from Marburg, in Ger
many, and among them are some Of our
most useful citizens. The Euker family arc
of the aforementioned village, and from
its healthy increase it promises to become
an institution of the city. Well may it be,
for more worthy and popular citizens we
have not among us. "Mine host " Sauer
also halls from the same village. Besides,
are the Schaaps, the salyers, the Briefs,
and the Funks. Marburg, then, has con-
tributed quite valuable portion of the
Richmond community, and we trust che
will send many more such as have already
arrived among US.
The affair we have referred to was OF
course we'll conducted, as are all Of SINH
lar sort under German auspices. Every
thing was life and real enjoyment, and the
dance, under the inspiration of kessnich's
Incompatible music, was kept up far be-
yond the bounds of Monday.

ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL
GRANT.-The Virginia conservative COM
mittee had another interview with Grant
to-day, wherein he is said to have expressed
himself earnestly in favor Of settling their
questions of Virginia reconstruction on the
basis they propose: the retention of man
hood suffrage in the new State constitution,
and expunging all provisions for disabili-
ties not embraced in existing laws of Con-
gress and the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution. hear that he expressed the
opinion that if Congress will SO act upon
the roposition-will so shape what is to be
submitted to the people of Virginia-Texas
and Mississippi will be very shortly and
very quietly reconstructed upon similar
terms. The committee are evidently highly
pleased with General Grants reception Of
them, and the interest in and tone mani
tested towards their errand here.-Na-
ti0nal Republican.

AssURANcE.-Judge Underwood, Postma

Auditor Stoutenburgh, of this city, have

of the Virginia Radical committee, contain
ing o resolution passed by that committee
requesting them to withdraw their lette, 8
recommending that General Asa Rogers be
relieved of the disabilities imposed by tt 6
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution.
As these gentlemen wrote the letters allu-
ded to Of their own free will, and with a
personal knowledge Of the circumstances of
the case, it is not supposed that the resolu-
ton of the Virginia Radical committee will
produce the desired effect.-Alera'edrio Ga

have done him no injury whatever.

A PLEASANT AFFA1R.-On Monday eve
ming the scholars of the Third Presbyterian

other exercises consisted of singing by the
children and reading of Scripture after
which the superintendent, Mr.. E. W. Cone,
on behalf of the school, presented hand
some china dinner set to the late pastor of
the church, Rev. P. D. Price. The reci-
pient of the testimonial returned thanks
in O few touching remarks at the con-
clusion of which the children sang an
appropriate hymn" Our Pastor, Dear"
Addresses we're also made by Messrs. Cone
and Samuel NJ. Price after which the chill
dren made a vigorous attack upon the good
things spread out for their enjoyment, and
at about o'clock the company dispersed, +,
all well pleased with the entertainment.

V1RG1NrA.--It was anticipated that Mr..
Stewart, of Nebraska, would to-day intro
duce into the Senate some measure in regard
to the Virginia election, but nothing will be
done for few days yet, the Judiciary Com

the Radicals from Virginia urging delay
and making objection to the proposed "new
movement" In the mean time the House
Reconstruction Committee will do nothing
with reference to the removal of the disa-
bilities from the judges, having, it is said,
reconsidered their action favorable to
Judges ShefFey, Thomas, and Harris, and
left the whole matter open again.

THE VIRG1NIAN CoMMITTEE.-The indica
tions are that the mission of the Virginia
conference committee will be in a great
measure successful, if not entirely 30. A
written plan has been submitted to the Ju
dietary Committee OF the House which
meets with very general approval, and
thcreis more prospect to-day Of matters in
Virginia being amicably and satisfactorily
settled than there has as yet been. Co.
vernon Wells and one or two other leading
Republicans oppose any substitute which
may be offered in lieu of the Underwood
constitution, but the majority of the peo-
pie are conscious of SO many defects in the
latter that they will willingly support a
constitution under the proposed plan. The
embryo substitute will restore harmony
and peace, and the best evidence Of its
worth is the fact that nearly all of the
members of Congress endorse it, whilst the
fire eating Democracy of Virginia condemn
it.-Forney'S PreSS-WaShinJton telegram.
