---Galipolis is excited over wild man,
naked, covered with hair, gigantic in stature
and with eyes shat start from their sockets .
He recently attacked venerable citizen Of that
place, and would have drank his blood but for
the bravery Of q Gallipolitan maiden who broke
the Wild mans head with big .stone and sent
him off gnashing his teeth.
The Virginia delegation nave had OF inter
view with General Grant on the subject of
their mission here, and they express them
selves as much gratifed with his views on re-
construction. He jocosely told them that they
wanted to get back into the church, and that
they should have made the samo effort year
ago; and that if they had the secesh element
would have forced all The Conservatives into
the Radical ranks before this.
The Virginia Conservative Committee have
had hearing before the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate relative to reconstruction in their
State. Judge Baldwin made full expose of
all the facts and circumstances connected with
the Richmond Negro Supremacy Constitution,
and submitted the proposition that Congress
should allow vote to be taken on a constitu-
ton embracing universal suffrage and univer-
sol amnesty-at the same time the vote is or
dered on the Richmond Constitution, enfran-
chising the freedmen and disfranchising the
whole white population of the State.
The proverbial luxury of the ancient Ro-
mans is fast being outdone by modern women
Of fashion. The most celebrated Of Paris
beauties has just inaugurated one of the most
extravagant innovations of this extravagant
age. Every day she changed the decoration OF
her boudoir as if by magic. On awakening in
the morning she calls for, say, her pink toilet;
and while she sacrifices to the GYaces, the
chameleon-ike apartment that was mauye
satin yesterday is changed to pink silk to-
day, and will most likely be green velvet to-
morrow.
Senator Sawyer, of this State, introduced
q bill in the United States Senate on Wednes-
day authorizing executive departments to pay
who failed to take the oath prescribed by
act of July 2, 1862, such Gums of money as
may be found due them by accounting officers
Of the Treasury for services actually rendered,
provided that such oath was subsequently
taken or be now taken, except in cases where
the person entitled to compensation died be-
fore the passage of the said act, in which event
the oath may be waived.
For ball costumes new material Las been
introduced wllich is destined to come much in
vogue. 1t is tulle, light straw color, end in
tended to exactly match with blonde hair. La
dies possessing this golden treasure may have
their dresses made OF this zephyr-like material.
The undeIskirt should be Of straw-colored silk,
over which must be two skirts OF blonde tulle,
long, full, and separate from each other. The
corsage must be made low and trimmed with
putting OF tulle and lace Of the same color; the
sleeves composed Of one narrow putting; around
the skirt, extending from the corsage in front
to hallway down the train, garland composed
of field-daises, lily Of the valley and wheat; Or
naments of gold around the neck wrists, and
in the hair.
Tho defeat OF the joint resolution propo-
sing a protectorate over the Republics Of Hayti
and San Domingo is said to have been owing
to the fact that the circumstances surrounding
the proposition were not understood by the
House, and the author OF tine resOlution had
no opportunity allowed him to explain them
It is understood that the Secretary of State
will now proceed to conclude conventions with
these republics, and thus bring the PROPOSE
tion for 6 protectorate before Congress in
another shape, as ttis can be accomplished by
treaty stlpulations subject to the approval OF
the Senate. 1t is understood that General
Grant fayors protectorate, not only over the
republics named, but also over Mexico at q
proper time-that is. after the Mexican mas
ses have ceased to believe that they have
whipped France, England and the United
States combined.
Bull Run Russell furnishes some interest
ing details Of the battle OF Cadiz. Of which he
was spectator. At the commencement OF the
conflict, on the 9Th instant, the troops held
the customhouse, which they made their
headquarters, and the hole Of the wall be.
tween it and the barracks. The townhouse
formed the headquarters OF the militia. Ii
the basement the insurgents placed thirty.
