A letter from Richmond in the Baltimore

IN a position to know that United States Sena-
tors will not be chosen by our Legislature until
the State is readmitted into the Union by
Congress the President plainly signifies
that it is his wish that they be selected at once.
Of course, this is a rather pitiablc posture for
Virginia, but We are willing to do almost any
thing to conciliatc the powers that be. Sic
ysn,per Uranus now requires different picture
from the old one represented on our seal. -
Speaking on this subject, the National lntclli-
gcnccr and Express says: eff the State of Nir-
GINA cannot gain admission into the Union
upon its past acts, its acceptance of the harsh
and stringent terms OF reconstruction prescribed
hy Congress, including the ratification OF the
fifteenth amendment, it is vain to suppose that
the object eau be gained by the election OF the
President nets to the Senate, or by other dis
eredtable compliances II this sort OF traffic
aud huckstering is to 90 on, the position OF
Virginia will be so lowered that whether it is
in or out of the Union, it will be destitute Of
any moral influence.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. meeting OF the
members of the Corn Exchange was held this

AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-A meeting OF the
members Of the Corn Exchange was held this
morning, presided over by Capt. Z. Il. Hooe.
at which Col. c. L. Suite, chairman of the
committee TO whom the subject OF the Agrlcul-
tural Fair had been referred, reported the pro.
gress made, and the desire manifested for the
success Of the enterprise. He suggested that
rs the best method of initiating the society, the
members of the Exchange should subscribe to
the stock, whereupon twelve hundred dollars
were taken at once, and the committee en-
powered to make further collections in and out
of the city. The meeting then adjourned.
With the impetus given the project by
the merchants, there seems no longer any doubt
of the successful establishment of an Agricul-
tural Society in Alexandria, and we learn that
considerable interest is manifested in the enter
prise by the citizens Of the surrounding coun'
try, where liberal subscriptions have been al
ready made, and Others promised. The COM
mttee who have the matter in charge will call
upon the business men, property holders, and
all interested in the welfare of the city, and it
IL hoped that liberal response will be made to
their appeal in behalf Of the Alexandra Agri-
cultural Society.

PRoDUcE DEALERS Licenses. The strict
construction of the law as to the liability OF
dcalears in produce to payment OF the special
tax as produce brokers by Acting Commissioner
Douglass will inevitably drive many OF the
SINAI! dealers from our markets. and thus raise
the price of garden products, &c.,-already too
highly lcs~eunr competition, II the law,
a. construed by the Acting Commissioner oil
Internal Revenue, is strictly enforced, the poor
market women who bring little butter, a few
eggs, or basket of vegetables, produced on a
neighbour farm, to market, or box OF berries
picked in the fields and return home with their
little package Of groceries or Cry goods, VIII
have to so without many necessarles they pro,
cure from the proceeds of this small way OF
trading unless they are able to take out licenses
as produce brokers. The grocer who sells
few pounds OF grapes or other ;rult to his Gus
toners and the keepers Of fruit stands are also,
il seems, to pay special lax under this de-
cison. 1t is not only hard on the small pro
ducers and dealers, but will affect the whole
community unfavorabIy, and We cannot think
that Congress intended the provisions OF the

Ii is generally believed that the ultra Radl'
cals IN aud out of the State OF Virginia, are en-
Gagged in a scheme to prevent the reconstruc-
tion of the State, and to keep the members
elected TO the House of Representatives, from
taking their seats 1t is said that their ennis.
sarics are at work getting up afhdavlts and GER
u6cates to show pretended Intimidation aud
coercion at the recent electiou-that the
"loyal leagues" have again been set at work
that petitions are being prepared to send to
Congress asking that reconstruction be de
layed-that leading Radical members OF Con
sress are being asked to unite in delaying the
subject If reconstruction before the committee
to which the subject will be referred. We have,
ourselves, no doubt whatever that this scheme
is on ioot-and will be vigorously urged
la consequence Of the recent Cold move,
lnent in New York. tho Washington Chronicle
says that Secretary Boutwell, was yesterday
IN continual receipt OF dispatches from bankers
OF New York, Nermiye 4 Co., Jay Cooke X
Co, Fisk X Hasch, appealing to him earnestly
to throw large amount OF gold upon the mar
ket," The Chronicle adds Mr.. Boutwell,
had determined not to deviate from his policy
OF selling gold in stated sums each month, but
the tremendous pressure that has been and will
be brought to bear upon him may induce him
to yield. There is no special reason Tor this
sudden rise of coiu in value. 1t is blow at
the Government credit by spectators, and
should be summarily defeated"
