VIRGINIA AFFAIRS. = Washington, April
16.-Messrs. Stearns, Rye and others of
the Conservative Wing OF the Radical
party, called at the White House yester-
day evening, to advise with the President
upon the form in which the Underwood
Constitution should be submitted to the
State, and the time at which the election
should be held but they were unable to
obtain hearing. Gov. Wells and others
of his wing Of the party have had an in
terview with the president upon tue same
subject. It is understood that the Wells
party favor the last Of June as the time
for holding the election. and that the Con-
seryative wing desire it should be held
previous to the 10th of that month, SO as
not to interfere with the harvest opera
tons, which commence about that time,
and continue, in one shape or another,
during nearly the whole Of the summer.

re- One of the most evident signs of a
reaction in the north, at no distant day,
is the conduct and tone of the New York
Herald. Although no confidence can be
placed in that journal, yet it manages by
some means Or other, to run with the cur
rent Of political affairs in this country
More than that, it has shown sagacity,
or foresight, or whatever it may be called,
in regard to the opinions of, at least, the
northern masses, and has thus frequently
forestalled its competitors in the race for
patronage Now, this faculty may not be
commemorate, but its sequence certainly
is entitled to weight in the minds Of those
who estimate probabilities, and judge by
the signs of the times. Last week an ed
itorial appeared in the paper in question
that was any thing but laudatory of the
powers that be, and especially of the Pres
ident, and to use phrase more expressive
thaa polite, it seemed to be "going
back on the man who occupies the other
end of the Avenue"

Sc The courts and Congress are of
different opinions. In the case of Texas
the Supreme court decided the principle
that the Union is q perpetual Union, and
that a State under the constitution cannot
secede from that Union, and that a State
can not reconsider or revoke its action
when once admitted into the Union, and
the judgment of the court goes to affirm
the act of secession as "absolutely null. :"
and "without operation in law and it
necessarily follows that the State did not
cease 10 be State, nor her citizens to be
citizens Of the Union" On the other hand i,
the Thaddeus Stevens school. in Congress,
hold that the States have effected an es-
cape from the Union, and were in the con-
dition of conquered territory, and the leg
islation of Congress, known as the Recon
struction-Acts, have been passed upon
this idea. How these two theories are to
be reconciled we will have to wait and
see.

nw Quite a blubbering is going

Gg Quite blubbering is going on
among the puritanical snifiers "down
east" in consequence of the outrages per-
petrated upon the Cuban rebels by the 10y
al Spaniards. A short time since the
bowels of their compassion were moved
immensely for the struggling Cretans"
and a year or two ago they poured forth
taeir surplus sympathy for the Mexican
brigands, yet scores of their own country
men in the south could be murdered in
the full blaze of day, and their property
destroyed by the vandalic hand Of one of
their leading generals, without word to
arrest the despoiler; ay at the very mo-
ment they are bowling so dolefully over
the woes of few foreign insurgents, the
inhabitants of a large portion of their own
land are w.ithing chains as CALLING as ev-
err despot forged for his hapless subjects.

he praised the Almighty for the humane
laws proceeding from this chamber" How

the benign manner in which we are treat

Eg- 1t is asserted as curious fact,
that the languages spoken BY the inhabi-
tants of cold countries have preponder-
anee Of eonsonsnts, which involves less
opening Of the mouth when speaking,
whilst those Of warmer climates have more
vowels, for the opposite reason. Probably
this accounts for the peculiar nasal drawl of
the denizens Of the northern portions of
the States, and the very distinctive broad
utterance of our Tuckahoe friends, and
others living Mayabout.
