An Alleged Scheme to Defeat Recon
stFuctiOn in Virginia.

A Washington special to the New York
Herald, dated Thursday, 10th, says:
Information has been received here
from Richmond of an Infamous plot set on
foot by radical leaders to defeat the ad.
mission of this State into the Union at the
meeting of Congress. It's main object,
after the fifteenth amendment is ratified,
is by strategy to flibuster the Virginia
question over to the next session of Con-
gress, and thus keep the present radical
appointees of General Candy in Office an
other twelve months. Under the con-
stitution elections for judges, sherias, and
city and county officials take place in May
and the officers elected enter upon the
discharge of their duties the following
July. If the State is admitted before
May next, all the present Office holders
by military appointment would be outside
In order, therefore, to save their radical
min ions it has been determined to keep
the State out another term if possible
With this view number of letters have
been received from several radical mem.
bers Of Congress counseling a strenuous
opposition by the party here to the res
toration Of the State. Among these are
several from General B. F. Butler, chair
man of the reconstruction committee, and
even Mr.. Boutwell, has volunteered his SER
vices in the same direction"

The Virginia Senatorial Question.

There is growing disposition among
leading politicians of both parties in Vir-
GINA to advise the election of United
States senators by the Legislature when
it meets to ratify the fifteenth amendment
next month. tits believed this is neces-
sary to perfect the work Reconstruction,
and that it is in conformity with the laws
of Congress, though the opinion of Attor-
ney- General Hoar does not distinctly say
So In seeking admission to the Union,
senators will be required as well as repre-
sentatives, and the best judges Of the law
are inclined to think they should be ready
to take their seats when the State is ad-
mitted, Of course such action, if de-
termined upon, would be entirely subject
to the approyal'of Congress, whether that
body should afterwards declare it valid or
not. One of the chief effects of this
course at the first meeting of the Legis-
lature would be the election of two sena-
tors who would be in every respect ae-
ceptable to the Administration and to
Congress. IF the matter is left until the
State is admitted, senators of different
political cast would in all probability be

It is also proposed to build another road

the shortest route from Washington city
to that point. These enterprises have all
been engaged in with spirit of deter

The Avondale Disaster.

The Coroner's jury summoned to ex-
famine into the Avondale disaster has
brought in verdict to the following eff
feet. That the cause of the death of the
said miners was the exhaustion of the at
mospteric air, or prevalence of sulphu-
rie and carbonic acid gases in the said
Avondale mines. caused by the burning
of the head-house and breaker at said
mine on the 9th day of September, there
by destroying the air-courses leading from
the mine through tho shaft that the fire
originated from the furnace in the mines
taking effect on the wooden brattice in
the up cast air-courses leading from the
bottom of the shaft to the lead house
The jury expressed the opinion that the
present system of mining in a'large num-
Der of mines now working by shafts is in
secure and unsafe to the miners, and
earnestly recommended, h all cases where
practicable, two places for iDgress and
egrees, and more perfect ventilation,

It is said that General Robert Williams
will be chosen as one of the Senators Of

would constitute another revolution in
the affairs of the Ancient Dominion.
General Williams is gentleman of high
character. clear intelligence, and solid
judgment; but bis whole active life has
been passed in the military service of the

unknown to him, and if he is chosen Sem

When he enters the Senate chamber he
will find there several gentlemen of large

ious remedy known for dysentery, diarrh sea

plants, and weak and relaxed bowels of old and
young. Also a sovereign remedy for asatic chol-
era in its fir st stages
This medicine is the 1esult of much study re-
Election, patient research, and close observation
at the bedside Of the sick, combined with an
curate knowledge of the different articles of the
Materia Medica which enter into its composition,
1t has no equal in the rapidity with which 1t
cures the most obstinate cases, as well as slight
attacks of the above-named distressing and dan
gerous complaints. 1t Is purely vegetable re-
medy, ard contains deloterIous or dangerous

taken in compromising it to obtain an article
which will cure speedily and leave the stomach
and bowels in a healthy condition Being per-
fectly pleasant, mild. safe and etfectual in its op-
Grafton, it may be given with equal advantage
TO children or grown persons.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this medicine, its salutary effect, its power to
relieve and speedily cure the diseases above
named, of which under the ordinary mode of
trea tment many thousands die annually, has in
duced me to offer it to the public with entire
confidence in its efficacy, believing that its gen
eral use among families would deprive summer
complaints and kindred diseases of all their hor
rors, and physicians would not lose one patient
in five hundred cases, but would, by using this
medicine, perform effectual cures in one-fourth
the time required by the usual method of treat
ment. These are conclusions arrived at from
knowing the results of its use during the last
twenty years in hundreds of cases where other
remedies had proved unavaiing, and by the
daily increasing demand for it accompanied with
certificates Gifts truly wonderful effects.
Asiatc cholera almost always begins with diar

aware of any danger. This is the time for action,
the time when the diseases may be counteracted.
