WASHINGTON, July 19, 1859.
Attempt of Radicals to Overthrow tho Virginia
Election.
Colonel Whittesey editor of the radical organ at
Richmond, with number OF the defeated Wells
party, are here getting up documents to be laid
before the Reconstruction Committee when Congress
meets for the purpose OF showing that the Virginia
election was carried by fraud for the conservative
ticket They have agents in the several Congressional
districts of Virginia work getting afidavits and
facts together to sustain their position II they do
not succeed in getting the election set aside thew
hope at least to get Congress to order an invesga-
ton and thus delay the admission of the State.
They claim that in the country districts the negroes
were compelled to vote the conservative ticket
through intimidation and that the white radicals
were not allowed TO instruct them. They do not get
any encouragement, it is understood from the Pres
ident In their efforts 10 have the Virginia election set
aside.
Attempt TO Bring Negro Rioters to Justice
Quarrel in the African Camp.
The conservative negroes here are making an
effort to have those of their sable brethren who
attempted to mob them for voting the conservative
ticket at the last municipal election indicted before
the Grand Jury for melting to riot incendiarism and
Grand Jury is now in session. 1t is composed OF
seven white men and five negroes. The latter are
all radicals and it is believed that majority OF the
jury are of the same politics. The object or the con-
servatve negroes is to have the rioters brought into
court and, II possible, convicted and punished.
Being without means themselves they have started
O subscription which has met with liberal re-
Spouse from the white men of the District, the
money to be used in carrying on the suit The
conservative negroes are furious In their
opposition to the republican party, and are greatly
encouraged by the example or their black friends in
Virginia in voting the conservative ticket. They
also threaten to bring an action for libel against the
radical organ here for saying that they were bought
up by the conservatives to vote that ticket s.-s-
Ben Wadc's Opinion of pelItieaI Affairs
BoutweIr's Financial Policy Endorsed.
Old Ben Wade Is here looking fresh and strong
after his tr across the continent. He is at all
pleased with the result of the Virginia election He
thinks 1t looks bad for the radicals, ana Will have
dispiriting effect upon the party in the Northern
States. Wade is loud in praise Of Boutwell's man.
agement of the Treasury He says Boutwell, Is
making a reputation for the administration
which will go far towards overshadowing
any mistakes it may make. In his sec

like good opportunity to put in wedge" He says
he supposes Grant Is hampered with the neutrality

strongly with the patriots and VIII 90 all he can for

got no claims upon u.s. and we ought not to go out
Of our way to serve them The policy of our govern

possible, aid every people struggling for

majority of the people OF the United States
are In favor of helping Cuba and he thinks the ad
| mnistration ought to take some cognizance Of
this fact. Wade thinks the radicals will carry Ohio
this fall. He will probably make some speeches
himself In favor Of Governor Hayes. Wade walks in
and out OF the Departments, visiting his old friends
with an air OF independence which Is quite refreshing
and somewhat astonishing to the numerous place
holders and place-hunters.
