DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE GERYAN RADI-
cALs-THEIE MEETING BREAEs Up WITHOUT
REsULT.-In response to a call for meeting
of the German Radicals of this cty-who
constitute very few, if any, of the better
portion of the Germans Of our city-about
twenty-five gathered on Friday evening at
Deuringer's City Park for the purpose of
nominating candidate for the Legisla-
ture. Wells and Mayor Chahoon were pre-
their foreign friends; but the latter were so
embarrassed by their presence that they
changed their mode Of procedure, and con-
Quoted their meeting in German instead of
English, as they had previously done.
The contest for the candidacy was be-
tween Brockmcycr and Wieand, and was
| conducted in lively style, being varied with
tonguc-lights which almost promised blows.
The most exciting one was between Brock
meyer and an individual named Max Mobis.
The result was that there was no selec-
| tion, and the meeting adjourned to meet
again this evening.
Whoever this mere squad Of our German
citizens may be, and however fully they
may be enlisted aS followers Of the Wells
prescription party, We are sure that no con-
| siderable portion of our German people are
with them. The Germans are too sensible
! 4 people to be led off by any such crew.
| Being industrious, thrifty, and useful citi-
zcns themselves, there can he no sympathy
| between them and the carpct-bag, Office
! seeking element. They compose one OF the
most enterpriSing and pcrscycring portions
of our community. All they ask for is the
| restoration Of the State to the Union, III
order that it may resume its proper bus-
ness relations. They are tired of that poll
| tical turmoil which has so long kept buSi-
| ness in ruinouS state of prostratlon. They
see full well that their interests are common
with those of our people. and that Co
vernment which proscribes or distran-
chiscs nincty-ive per cent. of the native
white Nirglnians can bring to them no
better results than to our own people. The
! Germans Of Richmond are fully alive to the
| questions before lis, and we will see on the
9Th Of July nine-tenths Of them voting for
Walker and against disfranchisement. If
some of our own impracticablcs, who swear
| they will never vote, were as sensible in
their views of the situation as the majority
Of the Germans of the city, there need be 10
| fear for the results Of the coming election.
ROuGH on TIE AsPIRASTs.-Thc Inde-
| pcndet Republican, which is pursuing
Wells and his followers with 4 Uira, and
advocating Walker with equal force, gives
us some good points upon some OF the rising
aSpirants for position, which they hope to
get by the support Of the c0lOrcd people.
| The Republican has had full time and OPP
porLrrnity for getting acquainted with the
personal qualifications of these parties, and
what it says may be considered aS reliable.
We have the following from the last issue ::
"It is rumorcd that G.. 7. Gale, who was
cTpciLed from the Grant and ColfaX ASSocia-
| ton on the evening of the 2Sth ultimo, as
pircS to Il seat in the next Legislature Of
! Virginia. lie relies wholly or the colorcd
vote TO secure his election. There is not,
we presume, 4 white citizen III Richmond
who would vote for him for any Office what
| ever, nor do VIC believe that the coOrcd
people will vote for him: because it
must be evident TO the mind Of every ScnSi-
bic man anon" them that Gale has been
whccdliug in with them 10 get their votes
| simply that and nothing more.
| Also, that G. ID. Sterling aSprcS to be
mayor of the great city of Richmond. viii
not this be rich! TranscCndantly sublime.
G.. T. Gale to make laws for the city Of
Richmond, and 5. d. Sterling to execute
them! Oh, ye conscript fathers, where arc
yc!"
! HARD on WELLs.-From an undoubtcd
source we have the following rough joke Oh
| Wells, pcrpctratcd by one who was former
iy a " brother Of the quill" but who has
since arisen to position of prominence.
As is well known, Wells WAS before the
war an ordinary policc-court lawyer in De-
iroit. The reporter Of the Detroit Free
| Press one day, in reporting the case Of some
poor devil whom Wells had defended, spoke
Of him as third-ratc lawyer. Wells came
to him complaining of injustice, and asking
| for Il correction. The correction was pro-
missed, and made somewhat rs follows:
"Wc were mistaken in our statement.
II. III. Wells is not i third-ratc lawyer"
The correction remained in force, and no.
| thing more was said about 1t.
MASONIC INTELLIGEHcE.- The following
officers OF Chesterfield Lodge, No. l6l, have
been elected for the ensuing year:
T.. S. Woodbridge, master; E. Williams,

Archer, steward; and b. I. Clayton,
tiler. Chaplains-Rcvs. ". L. Edwards, p.
Archer, and L. Rowctt.
Temple Lodge L. ID. was duly instituted
on Friday night. After the Lodge ad-
journed, large number Of brethren par
took of fine collation. prepared by the new
Lodge.
TEMrLARs OF Honor AND TEMPERANCE
There will be a large number of Tcmplars
of Honor and Temperance i'll this city from
! Washington on the 18th of this month, to
institute temple Of that Order in this city,
consisting of eighteen charter members.
| This Order was organized IN 1919, and
embraces sixteen grand temples, with SUI
bordinatcs in nearly all the States of the
Union. 1t is higher temperance and fra
ternal organization, with ARRANGEMENTS by
degrees ~ its members are proved worthy.
1t is said that its beautiful ritual and frater-
nal ties unite its members in Il strong bond
of union and friendship not easily broken.
TEMPERASCE.-The subject Of temperance
seems somewhat to have revived in our
midst. We noticed few days since that {,
Council of the Friends Of Temperance"
will shortly be established in the eastern
portion Of the city. No doubt others will
soon follow, for the organization is spread
ing very rapidly whereyerit once gets foot
