The CHAIR Mr. BRETT stated that the law in regard
TO those tees had really not been altered The

payment OF the fees to the collector or rather the
cashier at the Custom House, has been voluntary on
the part OF the ship-owners and has been done as

only as the agent OF certain state officers.
Mr. ]. g. DALE said that II those fees were to be
paid he thought 1t was much better to pay them all
! at one time to the cashier at the Custom House.
Mr.. ELwELL said that he also thought the ship
owners should continue to pay the fees at the Gus

be paid would exist, but he thought 1t was unjust

The Aims OF the Virginia
Conservatives.

The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Journal
of Commerce says that a distin-
guished republican politician
of Ohio who has just returned
from a tour through Virginia
gives the following report;
AT White Sulphur Springs
and other places he met many
of the most distinguished poll
ticians of the Old Dominion,
and from them he believes he
has gathered the real sentiment
and intentions Of the successful
party in the late election
Among these representative
men were Franklin Stearns,

A Georgia Colored Woman

A Georgia Colored Woman
Returns to Her Master. Some
weeks ago an old colored wo-
man, about sixty years Of age,
named Henrietta McClintock,
arrived here under the impress
sion that she was reaching Lit
tie Washington, Georgia. On
her arrival she met officer E.
McHenry, and told him her
troubles. During the war she
had left her old master, Mr..
Benjamin f. Barksdale,of Dan
burg, Georgia, and had wan
dered through Tennessee until
she was weary of such life, and
anxious to return to her 'old
MASTER She then inquired at
an interior village the direction
to Little Washington, and was
directed to the ticket office,
where a ticket to Washington
D. O., was sold her. This ex-
hausted all her means, and ar
irving here without friends or
money, she was in sore distr ess,
and on meeting officer McHen-
ry begged him to write to her
old master for money to take
her home. That officer inter-
ested himself and did so, and
without delay he received let
ter from Mr.. Barks6ale con-
tanning twenty dollars. Last
night he bought her ticket,
placed her in the cars, and she
left for Dixie's land well and
happy.-Washington Express,

Mr.. Robt. H. Glass-Sir: AL
low me to congratulate you up
on the result of the late cleo
ton on the great question of
striking out those two objec-
tionable clauses of the Consti-
tuition. | know that you, like
myself, was in favor of accept
ing the situation. feel, too,
that we owe debt a gratitude
to our patriotic President, Gen.
Grant, for allowing us the
privilege OF thus expurgating
those clauses. | am satisfied
that it was a god-send to the
country that Gen. Grant was
elected instead Of my friend
Seymour, because if Gov. Sey-
mour had been elected it would
have continued the war which
had been going on between
President johnson and Con-
gress for three or four years,
with no possible good to the
country, whilst the election of
Grant must result in great
good-on two points if no
more--economy and peace; and
God knows # there is a people
in America who desires both,
it is the people of Virginia. |
think it is the duty of us all to
give Gen. Grant a cordial and
hearty support. I have can
vassed this part of the State
with more energy and interest
than | ever did in my life upon
any election. | mean in strlk-
ing out those clauses and in ad-
dressing myself to the colored
population; and / hope not
without some little effect. |
confess / have some sympathy
with those of them who have
been gulled and misled by the
white Radicals, and | am dis
posed to be as blind to their
faults as l can; but those ma
tive Virginians who voted for
the Constitution straight out,
1 have no respect and wish to
have nothing to do with them.
Ny counsel to the people is to
turn our attention to Develop
ing the great material interest
of the State and quit discussing
the New York and Virginia re-
solutions of '98 and '99. If
we will but do this, in less than
twenty years Virginia will be
in a better condition than if
she had continued to have held
their slaves in slavery.

with the old democracy OF Vir-
ginia; that that party is de-
funot, and that it is the sincere
desire and intention of the con-
servativa element of the State,
led by Walker, to form an in
tegral part of the great repub-
llcan party, and that they hope
they will not be driven from
the stand they have taken by
any discouraging action upon
the part of the republicans of
the North.
