On the End inst, Gen. Stonenan was re-
moved from the command of District No.
/, and Gen. Webb assumed command. His
first act was the issue of the following order ::
HD'QRs FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT,
State of Virginia,
RICHMOND Va. April I'd, 1869.
Special Orders No. 66.
Extract
3. The duties and powers of the Provis-
ional Governor of Virginia are hereby re-
deyolyed upon H. FL. Wells, the present
Provisional Governor.
BY command of Brevet Major General
Webb.
S. T. CHAPLIN,
Assistant Adjutant General.
There can be no doubt that Gen. Webb
was sent here by the authorities at Washing
ton for the express purpose of re-instating
Wells as Governor. This, in the face of the
fact. that Wells ia exceedingly Objectionable
to our people, besides being in very bad
odor here ON account Of that little affair Of
the purloined letter, so adroitly hushed up
by his friend Beach, should convince our
people that there is no leniency to be expec-
ted from the authorities that be. Every
bold % strike made or right yielded, for the
sake Of peaee-with the Republican party,
has brought some heavier blow upon our
people. 1t was so with the New Move
menf' and with the --latest New Move
ment" and will be so with every temporizing
expedient. Efforts to flank Republicans
out Of their positions, by yielding half they
claim, have played out, and our nervous
fellow citizens had as well learn to possess
Shess souls in peace. The only way to de-
feat Wells and his party is to meet them full
IN froHt aad make another Bull Run of it by
voting them and tie Constitution down
Yield not an inch of ground unless driven
from it at the point of the bayonet. If you
90, you have but given up positions to be
the more easily ana speedily driven furthe,
back
Another feature of the reinstatement oil
Wells is especially remarkable at this par
ticular time. 1t has been done in spite Of
the --latest new movers" who styled them
selves the administration Republican par
ty." Wonder if somebody hasn't been
caught in the effort ''to run with the hare
and hold with the hounds" After all thew
are only 'Respectables" and Wells remains
master of the Republican situation in Viz
ginia

Frankfort, January H. The
Democrats in the Legislature, disabled
by the Fourteenth Amendment, are
agitated over the uncertainty of the
removalof their disabilities, and much
caucusiDg is going on. There is much

be pursued Ia matters pertaining to
National and general State affairs by
that body.
In the Senate, a House bill to re-
peal section 13 of the act Of February
II, 1868. providing a general me-
chauics' lien law for certain cities and
counties. re-enacting the law of June
3, 1865, was referred TO the Judiciary
Committee. A resolution to adjourn

blow on the neck, which sent him to

Davis's friends. Both went down In
this round, Bill being uppermost.
Round 3d-The men advanced carly
and some sharp hits were exchanged,
mug which disfgured his facile

Allen on top.
Round 4th-Allen got in terrific

FnlIfIeaI Folly.

II viii be seen by our indianapolis
letter this morning that the Demo
Gratis of the State Senate are seeking
20 promote trouble among the Repub-
licans Of the Legislature by stirring
up strife in the contest for United
States Senator. Mr.. TcURNER. of
Daviess, has consented to act part
which no Republican Senator would
be willing to sustain, and which none
of them ought to disgrace themselves
by countenaacing, however much
they may desire the defeat of Col.
CUMBAoK. Whatever correspond
enee may have passed between
Governor BAKER and Col. CUMBAcK
was of a private nature, having no
official character whatever, and can
not constitute subject of Legislative
inquiry. We know that Governor
BAKER has carefully abstained from
taking any part in the Senatorial con-
test, and we are satisfied that such a
movement as that of yesterday would
in 40 way be sanctioned or eneour-
aged by him. Up to the close of
last week the canvass among the
Republican members had been con-
Quoted in a friendly spirit, and no bad
feeling had been engendered. We
trust there will be enough good sense
and common prudence manifested by
our friends, so that they will not be
betrayed into the trap set for them by
the Democracy under TURNER, of Da
viess- If Colonel CUMB AcK is the
choice of the majority of the Repub-
lican Caucus, he should receive the
vote of every member of the party in
the Legislature. Such proceedings as
those Of Monday can only promote his
chances for election.
