TIE VIRGINIA MOVEMENT. The committee
from Virginia appeared before the judiciary
Committee Of the Senate yesterday morning,
and were cautiously received. They present
ed the various Objectionable features Of the
Underwood constitution at some length, IN
Guiding The iron.clad tcst-oalh Tor jurors and
officers, and the restrictions upon suffrage, a.
well as the expensive county system. Various
questions we're asked by members as to the
operation of these clauses, and 1t appeared that
by the operation of this oath it was impossible
in large counties and districts, to lind persons
who hal not participated in the rebellion,
though in these doubtless some unworthy per
sons could be found ready to perjure themselves
for office. Nor would this difficulty be solved
for years to come by choosing young mcn just
attaining their majority, since even II any OF
these could be found who as minors had not
somehow or oth0r aided the Conteder&cy, II IS
still evident that many OF the, offices such as
Judges, magistrates, >herlttS, members OF the
Legislature, &c, ought not 10 be conferred
upon very young and inexperienced persons, at
a time Of all others, the most critical IN the
history OF the State.
There wa, We learn, no particular plan OF
dealing with the question indicated, AMI the
they ore to present shortly written statement
OF their views and propositions, as a basis Tor
some action by the committee. The delegation
were much graddcd with the patient hearing
accorded them by Judge Trum0uIl and the
other members OF the committee. In this con
neotion, we may remark that the allegation to
the effect that the Virginia delegation have
been told by Cen Schofeld and Senator VIII
ley not TO expect favorable action on this
matter by Republicans, is not correct. Both
these gentlemen are, as we learn, exceedingly
favorable to the adjustment proposed, and have
not stated that the Republicans 10 Congress
would regard the subject in mere party poi4t
of view On the contrary, the leaders OF the
Republican party have 50 far manifested a
IN ost gratifying and unexpected readiness to
make an adjustment, fair on all points, except
that OF negro suffrage, 90 which they are un-
fortunately committed. Nd Int.

Hayti and San Domingo protectorate, the
Secretary OF State will proceed to conclude
Conventions with these Republics" and
thus bring the proposition for q protectoyate
before Congress in another shape-as this can
be accomplished by treaty stipulatious, subject
to the approval of the Senate.

LONDON, Wednesday June 80, Is

LONDON, Wednesday June 30, 1864
In the House of Commons last night
Mr.. Moore called attention to the treat
ment of the Fenian prisoners, and NOV
ed resolution that the Government
ought to institute public inquiry into
the subject of penal discipline and re-
classification of the prisoners to in
quire how far political prisoners should
be regarded q separate class, and to
consider how far the severity of past
punishment may be regarded as rea-
sonable ground for the favorable con-
sideration of their cases. Mr.. Moore
said he believed the majority of the
Irish people sympathized with the Fee
mans, though unwilling to subvert the
existing Government, and content to
bear their present ills rather than fly to
others they know not of. But no class
was contented with the present state of
affairs. He strongly condemned the
harsh treatment of the Fenians, both
before and after trial, and urged pub
lie inquiry thereinto.
! Nh. Bruce. the Home Secretary, was
not prepared to defend the treatment of
the Fenians, but said that in general
the law was insufficient to deal with po-
litical prisoners. The statements of
cruelty were, however, exaggerated. At
present their treatment was extremely
lenient. They were separated from the
other prisoners, and werenot compelled
to do anything degrading, OF submit to
any humiliation.
Mr.. Sullivan defended the conduct
of the present Government respecting
Fenianism, and accused Mr.. Moore of
endeavoring to make political capital
by pandering to the passions of those
who have been convicted. He hoped
the time will soon have arrived when
such discussions shall cease, and no po-
litical prisoners remain in custody.
On division the first part of the re-
solve was lost by vote of 81 to III.
Mr.. Mcguire said that it was impos-
sible to press the latter part of the re-
solve, as the former portion had been
negatived. He admitted the general
sympathy of the Irish with Fenians,
but thought no harm would result if
the Government extended clemency
and released the prisoners, those still
in custody
The latter part of the resolve was
then negatived. The House adjourned
at 40 q. m.

CHICAGO, June 30.
The recent heavy rains have resulted
in immense destruction in Central Hi
nois and some parts of Iowa, and crops
of all kinds have been seriously injured.
A destructive freshet occurred in Yer
million River at Pontiac, where the
water was higher than ever before
known. The railroad and city bridges,
which were raised two feet after the
severe freshet of two years ago, were
only saved by loading them with stone
and iron, and the siding on the rail
road bridge was cut away to save it
from being carried off by the food.
Over 100 families were driven from
their homes and much property de-
stroyed. Several lives were lost. Along
the line of the Toledo, Peoria, and
Warsaw Rrilroad there are several wash
outs, towns are flooded, and whole
fields submerged. In Iowa, the creeks
and streams throughout the State were
higher than they have been for rs
years, and so many bridges have been
carried away that travelling is difficult
There is general complaint about the
crops. The country is SO flooded that
hot sun upon the level ground will
scald the growing corn, and it is
thought the crops will generally be a
failure. Wheat and oats, it is believed,
will not be injured much. A number
of cattle in the neighborhood of Bur-
lington have died from eating rank
grass, rendered poisonous by heavy
rains.

Potato bugs are so troubling Wiscon,
sin farmers, that q sermon on their
Viciousness and worthlessness is insert.
ed in one of the papers of the State
The writer censures Noah for having
preserved ii pair of potato bugs and a
pair of fleas in the ark, and thinks it
was mighty mean piece of business. "
1t thus relates the result of an effort to
utilize these insects
A year or two since an erterprising
manufacturer of liquor tried crushed
potato bugs to color wine. He gave
them fair trial, but at the end of six
months found that they didn't color
the wine particle better than the juice
of bed-bugs does, and the flavor giveu
the wine was not so good as that
given by bed bug juice There was one
more objection. He could catch bed
bugs at all seasons of the year, but could
only find potato bugs but six or eight
months in the year. He has pronounced
curses upon potato bugs, and declared
them good for nothing.

Last night in Petersburg, Mr.. Van
Wyck of New-York addressed a Re-

present called for a division of time,
and with the impression that q discus
sion was to be allowed, the next
Radical speaker was drowned by calls
for Conservative speakers. The ne
groes then formed in body, and
charged on the whites present, driving
them away with bricks, and chasing
them through the streets. Neither
party used firearms, and nobody was

CIRCULATION UNRIVALLED
IN ELIZABETH.

Bag That our city is prosperous, is
attested by the magnitude of its public
improvements. In every quarter streets
are being opened, graded, severed and
paved. No city in our commonwealth
has such substantial pavements as those
in Jersey and other streets in Elizabeth.
How rapidly our thoroughfares are
transformed! Untilrecently, when the
rains descended it was with great diff
Guilty that carriage could be driven
over some of our principal high ways. =
It was the writer's fortune to travel for
several years, at frequent intervals, in
the stage which left Elizabethport on
the arrival of the steamboat from New
York, and he states a fact we'll remem-
bered by many readers, when he de-
clares that nowhere else in New Jersey,
at that time, could be found deeper
quagmires than those which yawned on
the Old Point road But it is not me-
cessary to refer to the sloughs, which
delayed the traveller in the year of grace
1890 1t is but comparatively brief
period since pedestrians found it de-
cidedly nasty job-Q use the word
"nasty" advisedly)-to cross Broad
street at certain seasons 1t is fitting
that those who labored zealously to con-
vert miry roads into first class high
ways, should be ranked among our
city's benefactors Already, several of
our avenues, which abounded in horrid
holes, into some of which it was dam
gerous for man or beast to stumble,
have been changed into excellent drives.
True, these extensive Improvements
cost a good deal of money-the Jersey
street pavement alone required an as
sessment of about one hundred thou
sand dollars-but the property thus
taxed has rapidly appreciated in value.

There is popular fallacy that it is a
very easy thing to establish a news
paper, but the statistics of failure show
that it is one of the hardest things in
the world. Since 1910 fifty nine daily
newspapers have been started in New
York city, and failed, after having
sunk for their owners or proprietors
over nine millions of dollars A ma
iority Of these papers died before three
months old, and all of them before
nine months had elapsed. Indeed it
is asserted by Brick Pomeroy that the
amount of money lost in the newspaper
enterprises of New York city has been
much more than the amount made
Strange as it may seem, this is doubt
less true, and true of this city as we'll
The reasons for this anomaly in jour
nalism, if such it can be called, are
many. To start a paper nowadays
requires an immense fortune to begin
with a fortune so immense that the
few men who have it can afford to re-
tire from business pursuits On two
papers now running in New York over
one million dollars were expended by
the stockholders before the first penny
of profits came back and paper that
pays from the start is miracle A
printing press alone costs a fortune
