RICHMOND, VA, April 7, 1869.

RICHMOND, VA, April Z, 1869.
Editor Transcript: Will your sober
and staid Vermont readers get envious
when I tell them of our delightful
weather; when | say that on Easter
Sunday morning, at my open window,
the birds were singing as sweetly as
ever you heard them in mid summer
that the grass is freshly green, and april
weeks? Despite however, blue skies
and balmy air, bouquets in the market
stalls and fresh salads at breakfast, rob-
bins and warm rains, the political sky
has been dark indeed, and is nos yet
cleared, but currents magnetic, from
Washington have begun already to scat
ter the gloom. Gen. Stoneman COM
mander of this Dis trict has not at all
times shown far sighted policy in his
administration of affairs here, and
some times has allowed personal feeling
to govern his action as military ruler.
This was specially shown when few
days since he issued an order virtually
relieving Gov. Wells. That his order
was not approved at Washington is
shown by the fact that the General has
since been superseded and directed to
transfer the scene OF his future useful
ness to California. Gov. Wells tri-
umphs in being ordered to his old post
Ky Stonaman's successor. A malicious
prosecution of worthy official and de-
serving pu bile servant, which you may
have noticed, is thus nipped in the
bud.
these double mishaps coming so
quickly together have disheartened and
cast gloom over the rising hopes of
those prominent in the "New Move
ment." Since the failure of the scheme
against the Governor, scores of the
prodigals are returning to the fold /;
they now begin to have realizing sense
Of the use to which they were lending
themselves. Thus is tranquility being
gradually restored, and the Republican
party here, gathering new hope, are
marching steadily in the path of pro-
gress, fulfilling its grand destiny.
Closely allied with the political are
the financial prospects of the State. To
gi re some idea of our condition, l may
cite the four thousand and odd petitions
/ bankruptcy that have been filed in

congressional.

In the Senate on Friday, the House
bill to submit the constitutions of Vir-
ginia, Mississippi, and Texas to vote
of the people was taken up, and being
considerably amended, was passed.
Mr.. Howard called up the bill to Sc
cure the interests of the United States
in the Pacific Railroad, and said the
Central and Pacific Railroad Companies
had come to an agreement as to their
point Of meeting.
A debate followed on the management
of the road, and the improperly of
Director and the Chief Engineer, Mr..
Ames and Gen. Dodge, acting as Mem
bers of Congress while important legis-
latiOn affecting the int erests of the roads
was being considered and acted upon.
Messrs. Howard and Williams offer
ed amendments which were rejected,
and Mr.. Ca serly one which was agreed
to and passed.
In the House, the consideration of the
Myers and MOffet contested election case
was resumed. The resolution of the
minority declaring that Mr.. Moffet is
entitled to the seat, was rejected; and
that of the majority, declaring that Mr..
Myers is entitled to it, was adopted,
each by strictly party vote. Myers
was thereupOn sworn in as representa-
tive from Pennsylvania.
A consideration of the bill removing
political disabilities was then resumed.
The bill was read in full by the clerk /;
the vote was then taken on it's passage
and resulted, yeas 81, nays At, so two
thirds voting in the affirmative the bill
was. passed.
After various business, all taken from
the Speakers table, had been disposed
Of and several motions to adjourn lost,
the House passed, under the previous
question, the Senate bill in reference to
the Central and Union Pacific Railroads.

The Case Of CUBA.

The New York Tribune says that a
lucid statement of the questions at is
sue in the present contest between Cuba
and the Spanish Government is con-
tained in Pamphlet entitled 1.-THE
Case of Cuba" recently published for
the Cuban Association, by the Ameri-
can News Company. The gist of the
controversy, as here explained, may be
stated in few words, namely: the ex-
listing system regards Cuba as simple
property, ignoring her physical, social
and national condition, contrary to the
pri lciples'Of justice, and the demands
of the age, and tends to keep alive ina
the breasts of the people spirit of in
subordinatiOn which is no less at var
with the prosperity of the island than
With the sovereignty of Spain. The

PRENTICE The editor of the Mont
gomery Daily Mail, writing from Louis
vile, says: Yesterday had an inter-
view with Mr.. Prentice. He is not the
man he was ten years ago. Indeed, his
genius gone, and his person lisa mere
wreck. His family broken up-his
wife dead, one son killed on the confed-
crate side, another settled on farm
down the river-and the old man verg-
ing on three score and ten, cooks his
breakfast and dinner in his little room
ing, and lives only in conversations
about the past. This man once welded
an imperial power with his wit and his
muse. Now the world has whirled past
him, and he now lies OH the shore a

say, would have awaited themselves of

But all this will right itself in time.
Virginia is strictly an agricultural state,
and with lcnteous crops for few
years, she will have done much to re-
pair the ravagcs of war. Then the rail-
roads already operating, as well as those
now projected, will do a good paying
business, bringing in a great amount of
trade, and acting as important adjuncts

DESCENDANTS of FoREIGNERS.-Gen-
eral Banks stated in the last Congress
that, out of twenty-five millions of peo-
pie in the United States, twenty-one
million were Descendants of fore igners
who had entered the country since the
formation Of the Government, This if
true, strikingly illustrated both the COM
posite character of population and the
great debt we owe to foreign immigra-
ton. If the next census could go still
farther, and give the nativity of the
parents, and grand parents it would
show the degree of migration which
has taken place within the limits of our
country. 1t would then show, for in
stance, how many of the present popu-
lation of Minnesota and Iowa owe their
ancestry to Vermont or Massachusetts,
or to Ireland or Germany.
