FOUR DAYS MORE

Much work remains to be done within
the next four days. Less than one hum
dred hours remain, Conservatives See
to it that every hour records its due
share of work done. Every voter must
see that his name is on the list, and tina t
it is properly spelled. He must see that
the names of his friends are there, and
if not, the delinquent friends must be
urged up to the mark, and made to do
their duty. The list of colored voters
must be carefully examined and those
names that are illegally there must be
stricken off. Dead negroes must not be
allowed to vote. Those under twenty
oneyears of age, have no business at the
ballot-box. Graduates of the peneten-
tiary have fortified their rights Of citi-
zenship See to it that the names of
dead men, minors and convicts are TAX
en- off the roll. Do not be afraid to
work. Do not plead want of time as an
excuse. There ought not be time to at
tend to any other business. See to it
that competent and energetic captains
of tens are appointed in every district.
1t is a fact that had half the whites vot-
ed in the last election, who staid away
from the polls, Lynchburg would have
been carried by the whites. At this II
important hour, we cam 1t afford to lose
vote. See to it Conservatives that we
do not.-Republican

THE IRON-CLAD AGAIN.

We are not willing to believe that
Gen. Candy was governed by partisan
feelings in the opinion he gave in the
letter recently published with respect to
requiring the iron-clad oath of members
of the Legislature, although we cannot
deny that the avidity with which Wells
and his party seize upon and enforce it,
seems to put it in that light. 1t is
enough for us to know that such a
course on Gen, Canby's part will not be
sustained, and that he will have no pow
er to act upon his opinion in the man
ner indicated. ... .............. l
It seems that on Tuesday, Mr.. John
F. Lewis, our candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, had an interview with Presi-
dent Grant, when the subject of the
Virginia election was talked over. Gen.
Canbys letter in relation to the test oath
was considered in Cabinet meeting, and
finally referred to Attorney General
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-07-03

Hoar for his opinion. Secretary Raw
Inns, subsequently, informed Mr.. Lewis
that if the election was proceeded with,
and none chosen who were disqualified
by the 14th amendment, that nd difi-
Guilty need be apprehcnded W.
This is precisely the view we presen-
ted to the public in the DAY Book of
Monday week, and reiterated by us on
the first appearanceof Gen. Canby's let
ter. Gs vi u. u ! 40 I'll J. ~
The opinion of the Attorney General
will now be looked for with much in
terest, because it may lead to some or
der upon the subject which will settle
the matter. If Mr.. Hoar should look at
it without party spectacles, we have lit
tie fear that the law of the case will be
found in our favor; but the results of the
election, now very close at hand, only
can determine to what disastrous effect
an adverse decision may subject us. In
the meantime, let us go on manfully and
fearlessly in our work of electing the
Walker ticket and carrying the expur,
gated constitution; and we doubt not
that all will be well. 7''' - a'' ~ %

NEWS ITEMS.

Rumors are prevalent abroad that
France will soon be convulsed with in
ternal war. This report has arisen
through the fact that the railroad car
riage factories in France have recently
received orders to supply 10000 wooden
seats, each provided with four strong
cords, so that they can be suspended
from the roofs of freight cars. 1t is
inferred that these seats are intended to
facilitate the hasty transport of large
bodies of troops to different parts of
France.
Charleston, June 80, 1865, --Accounts
from all quarters represent the cotton
crop, both upland and Sea Island, as
extremely promising. The apprehen-
sions of the caterpillar for this season
are now to a great extent dissipated.

Virginia Military Institute, has been

Alexandra, who has been one of the
most prominent Republicans in the
State, has come out for the Walker
ticket. and has taken the stump to al d
its election.
Impending Cabinet changes are much
discussed. 1t is asserted that Boutwell,
will soon tender his resignation, and a
general reorganization is anticipated.
Memphis, June 3O.-A tornado, &C.
companied by hail and terrible rain,
passed over the city this evening. No
lives were lost, as far as is known, but
it is feared the destruction of property
and crops have been very heavy.
Ex-President johnson is said to be
full of hope in the future, and is sanguine
of the defeat of Stokes in Tennessee,
Hisinformation also leads him to think
that the red-hot Radicals will be de-
feated in Virginia, and finally through
out the South. There is no truth in the
report of reconciliation between him
and the old obdurate sinner Brownlow.
Great frauds on the revenue, in the
importation of sugar, have been discov-
cred by Collector Casey, of n. Orleans,
and in consequence he has placed the
entire stock of imported sugar in the
city under surveillance. He also seized
4,49o boxes, 1887 hogsheads and sew
enty-nine tierces, belonging TO one i'm
porting house.
The New York Herald says Candy
can. find no better occupation in Virgin
ia than putting man on trial for some
vaporing and buster about what he
would do with his negroes if they voted
with the Radicals. Exactly what crime
is it, under the new constitution, for a
man to. say that he will dismiss his la
borers in certain contingency

A DUEL NEAR BALTIMORE

An affair of homer occurred Wednes-
day, about y p. m., near Cold Spring,
on the York road, between two Young
men formerly officers in the Confederate
army, assisted by seconds-.all the par
ties concerned being young unmarried
men Of Baltimore. The meeting was
conducted according to the strict re-
quirements Of the "code," AMI arose
from dispute about the behavior of
certain Confederate troops during the
war, one party asserting that the troops
in question behaved badly, and the lie
passed between them. The weapons
used were Derringer pistols, distance
ten PAGES. Two shots were exchanged,
and, on the second fire, both parties
were grazed, but neither wounded.
Both principals desired another shot,
but the seconds interferred and pre-
vented it, and so the matter ended. 3a

The Rev. Alex. Cfummel, a cotored
minister of the Episcopal Church, and a
graduate of Cambridge, England, in a
letter dated at Millsberry, Liberia, No
vember, 1868, says ."'Ths anxiety Of
the natives for schooling cannot be ex-
aggerated. All through the country
they are asking for schools. II we had
the means we could establish hundred
schools among the natives within a
month" In this connection an appeal
is made to Christian colored families in
the United States to go out under the
auspices Of the American Colonization
Society and give their force to The re-
generation of the race on the west coast
CT Africa. The American Colonization
Society, it is stated, is now making an
effort to get fifteen or twenty families
of intelligence and piety to sail in their
ship, the Golconda, the 1st of November
next, to occupy an important place on
missionary ground. The call for such
help, it is said, is urgent. The society
will pay the expenses Of emigrants from
their present homes to the place of sail
ing, will give them a free passage to
Liberia and six months support there,
with ten acres of land to each single
man and twenty-five acres to each fam
lily. The officers Of the society may be
consulted at the Colonization Rooms,

RS In his speech for Wells last
Monday at Culpeper Court House, John
w. Forney said that he knew Colonel
Gilbert @. Walker well, and considered
him pure and patriotic man., tits a
remarkable fact, that Forney passed no
such eulogy on Wells, in behalf of whom
he was speaking, His whole speech,
indeed, as reported in the Chronicle, is
characterized by an entire absence of
extreme and embittered language.
