The New York Tribune expresses itself as
warmly in favor of the new movement
from Virginia, "for universal amnesty and
universal (colored) suffrage" As its position
will have considerable influence upon those
who follow its lead at the North, SO its sup
port of the measure, will probably give 1t
strength in Congress. 1t contends that though
the Radical party can secure negro suffrage
without enfranchisement, it would be better
for the sake of harmony and peace" to &C
company it with the boon of general relief
from disfranchsement for perchance If uni
versal suffrage is now forced without the other.
1T may, some day, be lost in the revolutions
of politics. 1t holds that the movement"
is made in good faith and ought to be accepted.
1t asks SITS friends in Virginia of Northern
origin" to cease their opposition, aud take
q wider view of the occasion" This is sum-
mary of the views set forth in the Tribune
and is move of some consequence as bear
ing upon Congress, in response to the new
move in Virginia.

SUICIDE We learn srom gentleman from
Bristol that a young man, who was a student
Of law at Union, Sullivan county, Tennessee,
committed suicide at that place on Sunday
night last, by shooting himself through the
head with a pistol, producing instantaneous
death No cause was assigned for this rash
act, nor were the friends OF the deceased able
to account satisfactorily for it, The deceased
was young man Of high moral character,
strictly temperate, and in easy circumstances,
which adds to the mystery in which the reason
for the termination of his life by his own hands
is enyeopcd. -LyacaJwg Neps.

GOVERNMENT OF WEST VIRGINIA. If it be
true that misery loves company" it would be
we'll for other citizens OF Virginia, like ourscH,
to pay occasional visits to West Virginia. As
one simply under military arrest, guarded by
soldiers, feels that his condition is not as bad
as it mig ht be when he sees another not only
bound but gagged by Infamous politicians 50 a
citizen of Virginia whose State has been de-
graded by the present rule to amere military Dis
trict, governed by the bayonet, feels that the
condition Of Ills fellow citizens, or rather fellow
subjects, is fortunate when compared with that
OF the citizens Of West Virginia, who are bound,
gagged and tortured. The condition OF the bet
ter part Of the citizens in West Virginia shows
what that of the citizens of Virginia would be,
if the present military Government should,
unfortunately be exchanged for that under the
Underwood Constitution, or one similar. in
obnoxious restrictive features to it, except that
in Virginia the ills attending the colored suf-
TRACE would be super added. Stanton Spec,

INTERVIEW WITH GEN. 1.-THE men
bers Of the Virginia delegation called yesterday
morning upon Gen. Grant at his headquarters,
in company with Gen. Schofed, who intro
duced them, A pleasant interview ensucd, in
which the General exhibited familiar know
ledge OF the provisions of the Underwood con-
stitution, to which his attention was specially
directed. Though speaking in his usual guard
ed manner, Gen. Grant expressed desire that
a satisfactory and beneficial State government
might be secured for the people OF Virginia
and the delegation left with the impression
that in this quarter, at least, they need expect
no opposition to their general scheme of adjust
ment Nat Int.
[The general scheme of adjustment here
indicated being as far as universal suffrage Is
concerned, the very scheme the Radicals de
sire to see carried out in Virginia. They hall
and disagree on the general amnesty Ques
ton" The New York Tribune and it's follow
ers agree to the amnesty The traIy "lol' il
Virginia and elsewhere will not agree.

!Youngt 1fsA,S iCIlAiStiiSa Associations.
We deem it. wsssu Tor Columbia that
sueh sanih iastisntioh should have been
formed hesaepTO ORr yonng men can give
fh9Hsefyss to no association outside of
che church OF their choice, that promises
nsSrs {Sf, time and Sor eternity. AS q
iournalist, whose; duty it is to forward
every good and useful work, we feel that
va can on, this morning engage in no
ttain Of Thought more suitable to the
day than that pertaining to these associ-
aions. Turning aside, therefore, from
thebeaten track of political reflections,
lifting ourselves and our readers above
the oonaicta and antagonisms of ordinary
life, let us consider the spirit and the
end Of these Christian Associations. In
tue first place, as We conceive, these
ASSOCIATIONS are not sectarian in charac-
ters They embrace oil those who accept
the teachings Of The Bible as the rule of
lie andithel standard Of honor. Their
great purpose is to exert an active infiu-
enoe upon the young. They seek to
draw the young man from the tempta-
tions that beset him, and from the haunts
of vice and dissipation that surround
him. They seek thus to purify, to
dignity and to adorn career which
otherwise might be characterized by the
marks of shame and crime. And in
lieu Of the pleasures that vicious indul-
genoe affords. they present the solid and
substantial fepioymenss of mental i'm
proyementanl refined social intercourse
We need not suggest how superior these
intellectual and moral entertainments
are. TO those pleasures which are of the
earth, and therefore ''earth5"
s.The beings Of the mind are not OF clay
Essentially immortal; they create within us
brighter ray and more beloved existence."
In fine, these associations tend emf
nenuy TO soften life's asperities; to ele-
vate the tone; to dignity the ambition,
and to improve the citizenship Of all
within their influence. It may be said,
that the elements of well-ordered life
consist in sound body. a pure heart.
and clear and vigorous mild These
elements are all fostered by the Young
Mems Christian Association. It is the
temperate, chaste and regular habits of
the yolth, that give the sound mind in
the sound body and the lofty soul to
animate both, and it is the combination of
these triple qualities. that give the world
assurance Of the man. Let these Chris
tian Associations be encouraged. They
prepare the youth for the citizenship of
life. and they help to prepare him, also,
for the eternal citizenship of Heaven.

Says Charles Sumner: ESPECIALLY do
plead for the African, not only among
us, but in his own vast, mysterious
home, where, for unknown centuries, he
has been the prey of the spoiler." Why
especially? Is he any better than the
white man? Is he moro deserving? MIR.
Sumner forgets that the African has al
ways preyed upon himself, and that
every iota he has displayed OF advance
ment, either morally, physically or in
teliectuaijy, is due to the "spoiler" he
refers to 50 contemptuously. The learned
gentleman's idea of ''caste" is curious.
He would abolish all distinctions at the
expense of the highest, reduce society to
one dead, abject level, of which the
African negro, with his fondncss for dirt
and cold missionary, would be the stand
ard; and of whom, he says: "The Afri.
can, more than the European, is formed
by nature for the Christian graces." Mr..
Summers, lecture on caste is fair and
pertinent illnstsation Of The old aphor.
