the 22d instant, asking if the appointment
of colored men on the police force of the

directed by him to say he takes pleasure
in stating that you have ever sought, as far
as he is aware, to cooperate with and assist
him in carrying out the reconstruction laws
of Congress, as far as applicable to the State
of Virginia, and that he has supported you
heretofore in such measures as was thought
would tend to the preservation of good order
and the protection of the rights of persons
and property. a"a..&1.
"He has never sought or attempted to
dictate to you whom you should appoint to
positions under you, and all that he expect
ed or desired was that those you chose to
appoint should be loyal to the Government
of the United States and competent to fill
the positions to which they were appointed,
and that in these selections the public in
terests should not be made subseryient to
personal partisan considerations.
"As to the propriety of appointing ne
groes on the police force of the city of
Richmond, you, as it's chief magistrate,
ought to be the best able to judge, but the
consideration naturally suggests itself to
every mind that if race is capable of
furnishing proper and competent persons to
fill the high and responsible position Of
chief magistrate OF the State it certainly is
capable of furnishing men competent to fill
the humble positions of city employees
and he approves of the employment of ne
groes in all positions of q public or private
character to which they are eligible and
for which they are competent. g.te. la.. s.s.

2 IRISH EMIGRANT AID SocIETY.-At the
session of the General Assembly Of Virgi-
MIA held in 1867 an act was passed entitled
{" an act to incorporate the Irish Emigrsnt
Aid Society of Virginia" By this act GER
tain parties therein named, "and such
other persons as may hereafter be asso-
cisted with them," were incorporated and
made q body-politic and corporate under
the above name and style, subject, how
ever, to the provisions of the Code OF
Virginia, or any laws amendatory
thereof "not inconsistent with the pro-
visions Of this act" The objects are
"to afford aid and information to emf
grants, and generally to promote their vel
fare.n The society is empowered to take
by purchase OF gift, and hold by lease or
rental, aad rent out or lease, mortgage, sell,
tr ransfer, or convey realand personal estate
to an amount not exceeding = OF any one
time $1OO, 600. The control and disposal
Of the funds, property, and estate. and the
direction and management Of the concerns
of the society, including the framing Of q
constitution, bylaws, rules and regulations
not inconsistent with the laws Of, the State
or of the United States, to be vested in o
President, Vice-President, Secretary, and
Treasurer, and nine other persons to be
designated g the Executive Committee"
| Various circumstances have prevented
this organization from going into active
operation, but now we understand that our
Irish citizens of Richmond, seeing that ac-
| tive steps are being taken by parties deeply
interested in the welfare of the State to bring
emigrants here from Germany, Scotland, and
England, and believing that Irishmen make
as good citizens as those who are being
brought here from other countries under Off
cial patronage and private enterprise, have
| resolved toorganizs and work together to eff.
feet the objects indicated in the bill. Accord.
ingly, We learn that meeting Of the parties
named in the act will be held at an early
day, and that in all probability q savings
bank will be organized and an Irish jour.
nal started, devoted to the interests OF the
Irish race in the South, not for the purpose
Of detaching them in any way from the
southern people, of whom they regard
themselves as constituent part, but for tht
purpose Of having medium throughwhief
To- receive intelligence from the land o.
their birth, and for the purpose Of spread
ing information and encouraging the prac
tice of whatever contributes 70 elevate
man and make him good citizen.

when sober, harmless inoffensive man
There is no evidence tending to show
that he was bad or dangerous man, and
bit little to show that he new the gun
was loaded when he took it and fired the
fatal shot, or that he knew where his
wife stood when he shot her through the
panels of q closed door, or that hehad any
Intention of killing her.
This petition was heretofore refused,
because, in my opinion, the prisoner had
not then been sufficiently punished for
the crime of manslaugter in the second
iegree, of which he is confessedlv guilty
The district attorney who conducted the
prosecution, states in his recommendation
for pardon, filed IN this office Aug II, 1868
that the evidence 'alI tended to rebut the
idea of premeditated design" and that
be, the attorney, always felt that Gam Die
was the greatest sufferer, and that he felt
the loss Of his wife deeply, and regretted
the fatal act with real penitence." AL
these representations, and careful re
REV of the testimony, rendered it quite
certain to my mind that the prisoner was
guilty only of manslaughter in the sec
ond degree, and that, he having under
gone che usual penalty for that offence
the proper time had come for his release.

A LITTLE Too SHARP.-An en-
terprising business man of Hartford,
Conn, runs to branches Of trade,
to wit: grocery and fish market
the grocery himself, the fish maj
ket by deputy; and every nigh*
the latter makes returns Of the pro-
ceeds of the days business to the
proprietor. A few days since the.
grocer found in his fish market re-
turns a counterfeit FIVE dollar bill.
He didn't like to lose, and didn't wang
to take the chances of trying to pass
ii. So he called an old darkey who
was hanging about the premises, and
said TO him: &
"Sam, here's a five dollar hbiu
that's little doubtful. If you wiz
take it and pass It, I'll give you
dollar of the change. -
Very we'll, :" said Sam, and ne
took the bill and went off. Later IN
the day he returned. having accom-
plished the feat, and handed over four
dollars in good money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting
the cash returns from his fish mark
ct, was more surprised than delighted
to find the identical five in tlae
pile.
.Look here, - said he sharply so
his fish market clerk, "here is q
counterfeit bill-who'd ye take it OF
Didn't We know twas bad 2"
The clerk took it and looked at II
moment.
"Oh! Yes, said he, g | remeu-
Der now; / took it from Sam, the

doubtful, and wasn't going to take II;

A CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT. When
Isaa chopper, member Of the Soci--
ETY. of Friends, met boy with 8
dirty face or hands, he would stop
him, and inquire if he ever studied
chemistry. The boy, with a won
dering stare, would answer, 'sNo."
''Well, then, will teach thee how
to perform curious chemical exper,
iment," said Friend Hopper. "G0
home, take peice of soap, put it IL
water, and rub tbriskly on thy hands
and face. Thou hast no idea what s.
beautiful froth it will make, and hoE
much whittier thy skin will be. That.
a chemical experiment. I advise
thee to try it."
