The "great goose" question being finally

bother themselves about it; but II it Will

MORE TEsTIMoNY.-If anybody wants
more testimony that Virginia has been con-
trolled since the war by n sct of lawlcss
and INSCRIPTIONS vagabonds they can find
ample proof in letter written by Colonel
Normand Smith, and published in the Coos
RcpujHcdn. Colonel Smith is native Of
StcwartBtown, New Hampshire, and calls
himself Republican. He has been elected
to the State Senate in Virginia. He de-
nounces the Wells faction and their rule or
ruin policy, and scathingly reviews the dis
honest course of Ex-Governor Wells. He
says "their advocacy of the proscriptive
clauses in the constitution caused the white
voters of the State to vote but one ticket.
One of these clauses requires that every
man elected to office shall take the test
oath. Another requires that no man shall
BIT as juror unless qualified to vote and hold
office, which disqualites nine-tcnths Of the
white people of the State. Again, Governor
Wells and his supporters have charged, time
and again, that northern Republicans were
not safe here. Now, as nearly one-half of
the land in Virginia is for sale, and we are
all wanting northern purchasers, men Of
energy and capital is it strange that such
men were defeated p
The Coos Republican commends this let
ter " of one who is now prominent in the
reconstruction of his adopted State, to-
gethcr with the significant result of the
election, to the caucus-packers of New
Hampshire. '-The People Concord, n.

ISvFsTIG ALTON OF THE BOsToN MURDER.
Boston, August 4.-1hc murderer, Major
White, came from Nova Scotia. He stu
died law in this city, and was admitted to
practice. When the war commenced he
enlisted in the Ninth Massachusetts regi-
nlcnt as private and served with distinc
ton. lie was severely wounded at FTeder-
icksburg, and subsequently promoted to the
rank Of Major for galantry. Or late he has
resided in Mississippi, and was delegate
from that State to the Chicago Convention OF
1865, and since has acted as a registry OH
Ger. q position secured for him by his friend
General Dent He came to Boston about
two weeks ago from Mississippi, suffering
from a pulmonary complaint, and having
been an intimate friend of DR.. Hobbs and
wife. was taken into their family for mcdl-
cal treatment. It is asserted that White
was in love with Mrs. Hobbs, and, in fact,
a monamaniac in his devotion to her.
lie was in the habit of firing pistols, and
the first shot was supposed 10 have been
fred in his room until some time subse-
Qucnt to the murder, when the bullet was
found in the parlor door. One day last
week White followed Mrs. Hobbs out OF the
house with a pistol III his hand, but COM
mittcd no overt act. For many weeks he
had slept with loaded pistol under his phi
low Mrs. Hobbs did not 20 to his room to
request him to cease reading so loud, as
was reported, but sent servant girl to 10
50.
The further testimony of DR.. Hobbs re-
yealed the fact that White was a quick
tempered, reckless fellow. II the year
1861 nc was caught with butcher KNIFE
threatening to kill Mrs. Hobbs, but was
prevented by Mr.. Hobbs, who threw HIM
on his back, took the knife from HIM, ana
gave him in charge of an officer.

The New York Press on the Election.

New YORK, August G.-Thc Tribune says
of the Tennessee election: - For Il long
time the result of the Tennessee election
has been conceded on both sides. The fight
made by Mr.. Stokes has been the hardest
kind of uphill work, ana his chances have
diminished more and more certainly as the
time for voting drew near. The few re-
turns at hand as we write indicate the ma
iority for Senter ut even larger figure
than claimed by his partisans."
The Herald says: a most gratifying
point of the news is that the contest passed
off quietly, and that all the refreshment
saloons we're closed during the day"
The World says: /" 1t is very gratifying
in view of the efforts made by portion Of
Grants Cabinet to secure the election of
that bold Radical Stokes. More
important than this is the probability indi-
Gated by the returns that majority OF the
members of the Legislature just elected are
Conservatives, thus sparing the nation OF
the disgrace of the addition to the United
States Senate Of another Radical. Whether
the senator to be chosen will be Andrew
johnson, or Battle Pcyton, CT Emerson,
Etheridge, or some person whose name has
not yet trauspired, remains to be seen. It

THE ALABAMA ELECTIoNs.-From the
meagre returns from the congressional
election which took place yesterday in Ala
bama, it is impossible to predict the result
accurately. The election of Sherrod in the
sixth district, box in the Fifth. and Par
kinson in the third district, all Democrats,
is conceded by the Radicals, Everything
looks fair for the election of Worthy Demo
crat) in this, the second district. The ma
jority in this city for the Radicals is di-
minished by 359 votes and we learn from
good authority that at the county precincts
the majority of the Radicals will be still
further decreased.
1t is believed that Mann, Democrat, is
elected in the first district. Selma cuts
down the Radical majority by nearly 500,
and Mobile increases the Democratic ma
jority by several hundred. These changes
occur at all points from which We have
heard. The result is most gratifying, and
we hope to be able to record a 6 lorious gene
raj victory.--NontgoSnery Mail, 4M.

The Tennessee EIectiOn--Scntcr Car.
rics the State by Thirty ThOusand---
4 Sentar Legislature Elected.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August G.-The cleo
ton returns show that Sentcr (anti-pro-
scriptive) has carried Middle and Western
Tennessee by sweeping majorities. Making
allowance for Stokcs's probable majorities
in East Tennessee, Sentcr has carried the
State by from $4,000 to 10000. The anti
proscriptive tickets for the Legislature are
elected in all the districts carried by Sen
ter, and it is probable that they will have a
majority in both branches of the Legisla-
ture.
WASHINGTON, August ct is generally
conceded that Tennessee has gone for Sen
ter by perhaps 10000. No county, rs far
as heard from, gives Stokes majority.

Alabama Congressional Elections.

MOBILE, Ala, August. 6.-Thc congress
sional election in this (frst district will
take the official count to decide it.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, August Collection
returns arc still mcagrc, but enough is
known to render it certain that Buckley
and Hayes (Radicals) have been elected in
the second and fourth districts by negro
majoritics. box and Sherrard (Dcmocrats)
are elected in the fifth and sixth districts
by white maioritics.
Returns from the first district arc too in
definite to pronounce who is elected, but
the impression is that Buck (RadicaD is
elected. The third district is very close,
and one hundred votes will probably de-
eide it.

GREAT BRlTAIN-TIE LONDON PRESS on TIL
SPANISH GUNBoAT SEIZURE.

SPANISH GUNBoAT SEIZURE.
LONDON, August G.-Thc seizure by the
American Government of the gunboats
building for Spain is thus commented on
by the city journals this morning:
The uorning star RadicaD says q The
American Government having exhibited
vgor in favor of Spain by enforcing the
neutrality laws, now proceeds vigorously
against Spain, and for the same cause"
The writer regards the recognition Of Cuba
by Peru as ill-advscd, though spirited.
In spite of all predictions, the Cuban in
surgcnts seem to be able to hold their
ground. Whispers Of the ceasion of Cuba
to the United States are now louder than
ever. The Americans have desired to come
into possession Of that island for the past
twenty years. Now, the obstacle of slavery
having been removed, if the purchase can
be effected, AL parties may be satisfied with
arrangements which will give another State
to the American Union and remove great
pcrplcxity from the arena Of Spanish
politics.
The Ne,rS concludes an article as follows ::
Considering all the circumstances which
make It difficult for Europeans TO keep hold
Of their unwilling colonists in America, and
rejecting that Cuba is now in instruction,
Spain will be fortunate if $40, 900, 600 ever
reach Madrid as the price Of Cuba.
