The Conservative majority in Virginia il
nearly 80, 900, exceeding the hopes Of the
most sanguine and very much astonishino
the good people OF that State. Also a
majority of SO in the legislasuro securing
the United States Senators for the Con.

Congress. In the first District, ID. NJ

General Grant has been concentrated
by the Chairman of the Conservative Stat,
Committee Of Virginia upon the success Of
his policy" and the General has accent
ed the result Of the election as an endorse
ment of "his policy" and so claims it..
Now if "his policy" has succeeded whose
policy has been defeated The Wells
party-the Grads" abused the Walker
party-the Conservatiyes-in the most
outrageous manner. ShoWering upon
them every epithet that devilish brains
could desire and scurrulous tongues could
utter. Wells was, beyond all shadow Of
doubt, the candidate of the Radical leaders
here and in Virginia. The "Morniug
Chronicle" Forney's paper, the organ oi
the administration in this city, has
formly excommunicated from the
Republican party, oil who voted for
| Walker, and threatens the power of Con.
gress to correct the biRing error of 10000
votes of a majority, made in the Virginia
election the other day. Must not these
people be drunk with power when they
dare to intimate that their subseryieut
tools, Congress, will be bold enough to at
tempt to stife the voices that thundered
so loud the warning il their ears that
"Thou hast been weighed in the balances
and found wanting? ?" Let them do it
and they will awaken o wrath that even
now is only slumbering. Sumner, Bout
well, Tullock, Forney, Sayles Bowen,
and all Of that clique OF " negro lovers,
were for Wells, many Of them stumping
the State for him. Now that Wells is bad.
ly beaten, the President is to be found on
the other side, and it soems he has
"policy." What does this "muddle" in
dictate Is General Grant in accord with
his party as represented by Sumner, B0ut
we'll and the rest ? Or has he "taken the
bit between his teeth 2" Ii so, look out
for squalls. The Grub now is, can Grant
be "taken down peg" or will he "bolt
and break the traces ? When Congress
meets there will be lively times between
the ''Rads pure and unadulterated, and
Grants "loaves and fishes" friends aud
followers who will ''stick " to Grant aud
his policy.
Major Woflord, Of Mississippi, now here,
has received the following telegram from
jackson in that State "The National
Union Republican Party, backed by the
popular sentiment of the State, will emp.
port Judge Lewis Dent for Governor His
election is O certainty. Will he accept -
| This dispatch WIS signed the Judges Of the
Courts of Errors ana Appeals, the Secreta
ry of State, tue Judge of the Criminal
Court at Vicksbarg, the United States
District Attorney, and large lumber d
the most prominent citizens. Judge Dent
authorized Major Woffcrl to say, he would
accept the nomination. The Mississippi
delegation now here, ask the President 10
appoint Registers, that fair election may
be held. The present Provisional Cover
nor is extremely Radical. and the Conser
vatives fear his power in manipulating tie
Registry. No doubt but the President
will do as requested and throw the weight
of his influence to elect Dent-his brother
in-law.
In Cabinet session yesterday, the cleo
ton IN Virginia was thoroughly canvassed
and after very free expression of opinion
it was decided to order an election in Ms
sissiPpi and to submit their constitution to
the people, the test oath, and disfranchi5
ing clauses to be voted upon separately,
as in Virginia. The fourth Tuesday il
November is named as tho day of holding
the election. The Convention was to have
been held July 18th, but tho scare atten.
dant upon the result of the Virginia cleo
tion Las had the effect Of putting off the
election in Mississippi until after The
elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
this move Boutwell, and his "crowd
have outgeneraled Grant, that is, if Grant
be truly sincere in his expressions desiring
the success of Senter in Tennessee, Dent
in Mississippi and Hamilton in Texas
