It was dark when Henry Sea-

She had not noticed his face, for
the gas was burning but dimly.
"Ah! I forgot. Come down with

"His wife followed him down in

he took the demijohns and carried
them into the rear yard, there ho
emptied their contents into the
sewer. Then he broke the vessels
in pieces with his foot, and bade
Bridget have the dirtman take the
fragments away in the morning.
Not one word had been spoken to
his wife all the while, nor did she
speak to him. He returned to the
sitting-room. where his boys were
at their books, and took seat on

The first Masonic funeral that ev-
er occurred in California took pla,o
in the year 1S49, and was performed
over the body of brother found
drowned in the bay of San Francis
CO. An account of the ceremonies
states that on the body Of the de-
ceased was found the silver mark of
a Mason, upon which were engraved
the initials of his name. A littlo

the beholder the most singular OK.

the FIVE columns representing tho

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

1t is understood that the President
has determined upon the instructions
to be given to the commandant of the
First Military District, General Candy.
regarding the Virginia Election These
instructions will be forwarded in a few
days, and the election will probably
take place early in July. The constitu-
ton will be submitted in divisions, so
thata separate vote may be had on those
clauses relating to disfranchisement, the
test-oath, and the county organizations.
There can be but little doubt that, with
the above exceptions, the constitution
will be adopted by almost unanimous
vote.
The result of the vote on State off.
Gers, members of Congress and Legisa-
lures will DO very holly contested. Both
parties are well organized. and will
make the most powerful efforts for tie
coutroI Of tho State Government. The
colored vote will by no means be cast
all upon one side. Rev. J. W. Hunni-

poses.
it is alleged that Wells has no idea of
| serving as Governor in case he is elected,
but that be designs procuring the cleo
ton of Judge Bond AMI himself to the
| United States Senate, leaving the COL
| ored Lieutenant Governor to administer
the executive affairs of Virginia in what
will be the most critical period of her
existence, While he intends this as a
bid for colored votes, il will serve to
ALLEVIATE from his support nearly all the
whites who had intended to support
him. Such men as George Rye, Frank
lin S5ea, Us, Lewis Mckenzie, anl other
cd Bolts Republicans, WHO know him
better than any other men in the State,
have already deserted him Tor the sup
| port of Mr.. Walker, who Is au earnest
Grant Republican, and is largely iden-
titled with the material Interests Of Viz

Of the State has espoused the cause Of

J are more favorable than those OF Wells.

undoubtedly has, SO far as that support

Much will depend upon the fairness of
the registration about to take place. If

ed from colonizjng, and the lists all over
the State are carefully scrutnized, so
that none are allowed to register or vote
except such as are legally entitled to
those privileges. Mr.. Walker will be

Legi stature to back him that will guard

IS. F. CHAPLIN,
Assistant Adjutant General"

The Memphis Avalanche, one Of the
abiest papers III Tennessee, speaks in
eloquent terms Of the action OF the Col-
vention held la week. Il says:
"For the last few days Virginia, tie
mother of States and statesmen has
been toe cynosure of all eyes. The wor-
shippers of the sun never looked to the
grey twilight in the East with more
anxiety than do the Southern peop
look to Virginia when it is known she is
about to speak on great and vital ques
tions. The people Of this proud old
Commonwealth, since the days Of tie
Revolution, have beea as firm aud uu.
linching as her everlasting hills. their
patriotism is as pnre as her streams and
mountain air. Always wise, prudent,
and conciliatory-always faithful to the
Constitution they have ever raised
their warming raioo at tho approach OF
danger. The history of Virginia shows
how true she has been to the faith she
protested. In every emergency hcr
people have stood proudy-erect, serene,
aud upbrl ken, amid the storm"
at is with pride and pleasure that
we announce the position of the Vir-
ginia Convention, since il is tantlally
the same which the Avalanche bias ad,
vocated for the last six months.
"The craftsmanship and good sense
Of the people of Virginia view negro
suffrage in the same light, and they do
not propose to war upon an evil they
cannot remedy, especially since they see
aud know that opposition only makes
the evil more permanent, grinding, and
oppressive. Negro suffrage being an
accomplished fact, instead o. opposing
it and making the negro our enemy, we
should meet things as we find them
plead for our own enfrauchisement,
which can never come only through the
agency of universal suffrage"

is gentleman we'll known through the
District as a Conservative Republican
and thorough Union man, and in the
Congressional body, We believe, would
be instrumental in doing much good to
the State in her endeavors to settle her
new status in the Union. We believe
the Doctor would receive in the cities
Of Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the
counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne and
Nansemond, where he is generally
known, an almost unanimous vote. In
the event of any convention being called

DR.. Wing would cheerfully abide By

THE ELECTION DAY.

We learn that Colonel G.. c. Walker,
the True Republican" candidate for
Govprnor Of this State, has received a
Geographic dispatch from General Can
by. Informing him that Tuesday, the
9Th day Of July, has been fixed as tho
day fol- holding the election in Virginia.
With this announcement of the day,
we hope the people will be up and a
doing throughout the length and
breadth Of the State. The Issues at
take are certainly the most important
that have come before the people for
their vote for long time. We have
10 our own editorials and from seec--
tons from orr cotemporaries, and we
ooiese our readers have been afforded
tair view Of what is involved in the
contest. There are large number of
our people who have never yet regis
tered. 1t is their sacred duty to 90 SO at
oDco, aa soon as the books are opened
for them. We have given forth no I'M
certain sound. We are liz favor of ne
gro suffrage, as long as we have such
large numbers of negro laborers on our
soil whose toll adds 50 much to the
wealth Of our section. But we have
never been in favor of negro domina-
ton; aud We see very plainly before us
now the circumstance under which this
doWination might be inflicted On us if
we, Us sensible people, fail to do our
duty Ill registering and voting our whole
strength.
The election day is fzed, the issues
ale fairly before the people of the State
Who have the. power abundantly, if
they will use it, and by registering and
vofing t'or Colonel Walker all will work
cut we'll for us hereafter, or that is, as
we'll as it can be worked out from the
damaged position the war has left us in.
But il we hold back from securing such
coed as we may attain, we should sure
ly hereafter held no one to blame but
ourselves.
We have no word of censure for those
of cur native contemporaries, though
few they are at present, who can find
it in their hearts to oppose tho "new
movement" in its designs to better the
condition of our people, though ceusure
rained on us copiously when we first
started the project. We say if they
will not come with us let them STAY
where they are; circumstances will 50
indelibly fix their status that hereafter
oceans ri printers ink cannot change
it IN the minds Of the people, however
much they may plead "oonsisteocy"
and opposition TO "expediency."
The future welfare and prosperity Of
our native State demands certain sacri-
ices, and those who cannot make them /.
Should not hereafter parade their want
OF patuotHm as a virtue Let every
weA-wIsher of old Virginia register and
vote the Walker Ticket and the pur ged
constitution, and all will be we'll in the
end.
