SOCIAL EQUALITY IN VIRGINIA.

Governor, accompanied by his sister having pro.
vded themselves with second class tickets attempted
to make the trip TO this city in the saloon OF the
steamer Mystic. They were politely requested by
Captain Schermerhorn to vacate the saloon, but
upon refusal were forcibly elected. We now learn
that Harris intends to bring suit against the Eliza
Hancox for not being allowed the same privilege on
her at former time"
TIE HOUSE OF DELEGATES ALREADY GAINED.
From the Richmond Wing. June 25.l
BY the registration OF 1867 the blacks appeared 70
be able to elect majority Of twenty-one members
to the House OF Delegates. Albemare with three
delegates, Richmond and Henrlco with eight and
Norfolk vita two, showed negro maJorifes But we
have already Information that these have been
wrested from them. Thirteen from one side added
to the makes difference or IwentysiX, which
gives the House OF Delegates by five. We expect
10 nave 1t 10y fifty and the Senate by proportonate
majority. Hurrah !
PRESIDENT GRANT AND VIRGINIA.
From the Richmond Whig June 25.
Within the last few days we have met with gen.
before the war; during the war and since the war
Within the past four months he has mad frequent
conversations with President Grant, and the i'm
preston produced by these conversations was that
President felt deep interest In the prosperity
OF Virginia, and especially desirous tnat she
should be reconstructed ia way agreeable
and comfortable to herself. This Is strongly
confrmdtory Of information that reached Us
from another and equally authentic source, to
which we have heretofore referred. the President
had manifested his kindly disposition by singing
Virginia out from the remaining unreconstructed
States he had made her the subject OF special
message to Congress- that her people might have an
opportunity 10 vote down the proscrpve provisions
whicn Wells and his intolerant faction seek to i'm
pose upon them. This was intended IN Kindness,
and, as our Informant remarked designed TO ex-
press the Presidents appreciation OF Virginia. He
thuks she Is no common state and her good opinion
not unworthy of hIgh and noble ambition.
