Romance of "a Foreign Wa
teriHg Place.

Two Ladies Fight a Duel. -
The last number Of the Paris
Moniteur contains the following
romantic story:--!Two ladies Of
the world, who pass the winter
season at the watering places
on the shores of the Mediter-
ranean, were scaling at 6 clock
on the morning, Of May Is, the
gorges Of the Alps undulating
toward the sea a few: miles dis
tant from Vintimilaga. Upon
reaching the summit of the hill !,
on which are to be seen the ru-
ms Of Roman castle, they
stopped two peasant women and
induced them by means of mon
ey to serve them as witnesses
IN very important operation
which they said they were about
to execute, The, two ladies
next measured the ground. -
One of them placed herself with
her back against the ruins of
the Castle Of Appius, and the
other placed herself before her
at a distance of twenty steps,
Each Of the women then drew
a pistol from under their cloaks.
At the sight of these weapons,
the women uttered piercing
cries, and advanced. with up
lifted hands to prevent the AM
azons from firing on one anoth-
er. But two shots were dis
charged at the same moment.
The poor peasant women fell
down, while the ladies burst
into laughter at seeing their
witnesses on the ground pite
ously begging them not to kill
them. the ladies then reload /
ed the pistols and took position |
in front of each other at a dis
lance of fifteen steps. They !
were about to fire again when |
third witness made his ap- |
pearance. 1t was a priest. He /
emerged from behind the wall |
ot the ancient castle Startled n
BY the reports Of the pistols, hen
had fastened to the spot from
;he neighboring parsonage. -
He urged the two rivals to make II
~ Due7r quarrel, and succeeded
q reconGling them. A love 4
affair was at the bottom of the
strange duel. +4s.

Address Of the COlOred Conservative
Republican Club 0fRichmOnd.
To the colored Voters Of Vir-
ginia

ginia
Fellow Offensive have
just passed through an import
ant crisis in Virginia-one in
which our very political life as
a race was involved-and now
we find our cause has been
crowned with triumph. Not
only have we been declared
free American citizens, with all
the rights to enjoy life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happi-
ness, which the revolution of
rs secured to our white breth-
rem, by the voice of the nation,
but we have those inalienable
rights voluntarily guaranteed
by the unanimous voice of the
native whites, who we had been
taught to believe desired our
disfranchisement and sought
our reinstatement. Have we
not reason, then, to rejoice and
be exceeding glad that the God
of Israel has been our God of
deliverance, and that He has
given us as allies that more
race the native
whites, whose lands we occu-
Ply, and through whose instru-
mentality we are being afford
ed the means of providing for
our families, of educating our
children, of acquiring intelli-
gence and responsibility, and !
Of worshipping that God whose
hand of deliverance is so clear
ly discernible in our giant
strides to prosperity and happi-
ness ?
1t would be a work of surpe
rerogation to review the events
Of the past ten years and re.
count the hopes and fears that
alternately filled the hearts of
the Thoughtful and prayerful of
our race. Nor need we do more
than briefly allude to the histo-
ry of the late exciting political
campaign, in which our future
destiny was so deeply involved.
1t is enough that truth and
justice triumphed over selfish
ness and wrong that whilst
our own liberties were forever
secured, the shackles ofpolitical
slavery were knocked from the
hands of our white friends and
brethren +; and that now Vir-
ginia stands redeemed, regen-
Grated and disenthralled, from
political despotism, her proud
banner bearing upon it's ample
folds the glorious motto, E.
quality to all men, regardless
of race or color or previous
condition. with her helm of
State in the hands of an execu-
tive officer whose stout arms
and clear head, are ample guar
antees of an honest observance
and enforcement of our consti-
tuition and laws.
What, then, is our duty at
this time? Should we continue
morose, and ill-natured, and
suspicious, and jealous, because
the majority of our race failed
in the late campaign to elect as
Governor the man of their
choice ? Were men or princi-
pies the great prize for which
they commended? lfmen merely,
we see no room for further COM
plant, the victors being thor
ough Republicans, and compar-
ing favorably with the van
pushed in all the essentials
If philanthropy, craftsmanship
and patriotism. If principles,
then we are assured by the
chairman of the Republi-
can State Central Committee,
in a letter dated July n, 1859,
to the chairman of the True Re-
publican COMMITTEES. that diff

Commercial Travellers Association.


An association with this title has been or
s,r,zed In New York, whose object Is to com.
hat tho local regulations against selling goods
NV san,r,e, and in any other wise embarrassing
tha army of drnmmers which nvades the
s-,,o,,.r towns of the several States. These
gentlemen. thus combining, are particularly
offended at Baltimore for imprisoning one Mr..
WEIRD. OF Newark, New Jersey, for the
" ofTence OF acting rs commercial traveller"
and they are raising money TO take the case
before the Supreme Court. They rest their
movement on the ground that the obstruc-
tions in the jolly path of the drumulers Ia .
" discrimination against travellers from other
estates at variance with the spirit Of the
" Constitution
In passing, let US refer for n moment to Bal
tinore. Her arrest Of 2 man for drumming up
trade within her borders, whatever he its
merits is @ proceeding somewhat inconsistent,
when we remember that that city does about
rs much drumming in every way as any other
in the Union in proportion TO population, &c.
or drumming in general, the people Of this
city are pretty we'll informed. No illiberal
treatment has ever been meted out to tho
gentlemen devoted to the occupation. They

against Mt least one class of these travellers

helps to support the Government, ana the
Government should protect him against
having the bread taken out of his mouth oy Il
mere passenger who is untaxed. This IL no.
thing more than what is demanded by exact
Justice. No merchant in this city ought 10
purchase by sample from traveller he
ought 10 make common cause with his brother
merchants In business, and should kno" that
the same stratagem under which a bill OF
goods is sold to him to-day by the traveller

toners, and rob him Of a handsome commits
sion.
The business of drumming is very lnuch
oyerdone 1t has assumed very reprehensi-
BILE form. Ii is pcrsevering, impudent, and
tricky, and whatever the association of I" ira
vellers" or drummers may do in New York,
we do trust that the commercial communl-
ties of the smaller towns will use their best
efforts to keep these enterprising gentry within
modest or reasonable bounds.

The Inaupura ton.

We publish the Geographic account OF the
ceremonies of the inauguration yesterday al
Washington. 1t will be seen that larger
number Of people were present than a any
previous ceremony of the kind. This, too,
notwithstanding that the number from the
South was smaller than ever except during
the war. The pressure Of the vast convoca-
tion of people from all parts of the northern
States was very great two or three days before
the event. The capitol on Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday, was crowded SO as almost to
obstruct the passages.
This manifestation may be considered sign
of the power Of consolidation-the people
looking more than ever to Washington-aud
the rush thither in search of sustenance
and support being amazingly increased in
volume and force. This is altogether ma
tural. 1t will subject the Executive to
great annoyance and embarrassment. Gene
raj GRANT has prepared himself for the run
upon him, and may battle it. But these scenes
will be marked by increasing numbers and "a
7acity at every inauguration until 4 more ar
bitrary order of administration takes the sails
cut of the "sweN mob" This will probably
happen. Indeed, il will become necessary for
the preservation OF order and the efficient ad-
ministration of Government.

The Church-Stenlers in Couucil-
what they Say about Fjrginians-
Elder Phelps and others Crate.

The northern Methodist or Radical Repub-
lican Church Conference is now in session in
Alexandria. On Wednesday there was much
talk. We quote some:
Bishop AMES.-The Bishop said he wanted
an old ashioued inauguration prayer meet
ing, when he hoped the members would offer
up sincere invocations 10 the Throne OF Grace
for the success Of the incoming adminlstra-
ton.
Rev. MIR. PHELPS, of the Rocking CHAM dis
trict, said: He thought in time the Church
would get all OF the property II now claimed
in West Virginia, as the Judges there would
appoint trust favorable 10 It's interest. He
alluded 10 General Stoneman's order giving
the uce Of the churches on alternate Sabhaths
10 the Methodist Episcopal Church ard Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South. The prevailing
impression was that the Methodist Episcopal
Church would finally get the churches in Nir-
ginia also under Stonenan's order he had
been occupying 4 church Sunday evenings.
He thought the cloud was lifting, and that the
whole OF the people OF the section III which
he labored would be absorbed in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The speaker said he
had been much abused in the secular prints,
though no attempts had been made at per-
sonai violence. He claimed 10 De naive
Eirginian, and intended 10 stick, come wea! or
woe.
Rev. Mr.. KING of Augusta county, said
the southern preachers had circulated every
conceivable SANDER against tho ministers OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church. II was done
TO prevent people from attending. They
would watch, and report the names of the
whites who came; and III Rockhridge once one
turned negro out of his house for going 10
hear the speaker lecture on education. In
Augusta the Church had forty-nine members
and six probationers. There Stoneman con-
tinued the order OF his predecessor-giying
them the use of the church half OF the time.

J : f4e ~, = Z. Grants inaugural.

The cbrisf inaugural address OF Genera'
GnASr Is q very plain and unpretending oocn'
rnent. Interpretations are general ana ma
.;onnl. ssfordine little room for objection or
cri,{ctsrn. With reference TO the South there IS
only one passage which has an especial bearing,
and that "a, what he says about suArrage-rsz.,
"The question OF suffrage is one which Is
"lisely TO ayitate the public so long rs a por-
"tsoa of the citizens of the nation are ex-
..clnded from Its privileges in any State.
This may be fairly understood to inciude as
franchised whites but General dSASr cou'
plesit with sentence recommending Inc aoop'
ton by the States Of the fifteenth cohstis"-
tionai amendment, which is mere negro
amendment While we have no DOUBT lnat
General GRANT meant to include "hite men
in the passage quoted above, we think u I'M
fortunate that he did not separate 1t more
completely from that which, followed ABOUT
the !" amendment as it will give color 10 a
construction which will be placed upon 1t by
some. ~ o.t... .-
Inths earlier par of his inaugural General
Grant states the general proposition that he
knows no method 10 secure the repeal OF bad
cor obnoxious laws 20 effective as their strin-
"gent execution Very true. But at this
time this general truth has it's exception. The
laws passed by the majority, who have had
the Government under their control, for the
government of the southern States are full OF
eyii;4 hut their operation, developing those
evils only amongst those who are powerless,
does not lead to repeal, since those who passed
them do not suffer from them. We SHALL
nevertheless, hope that General GRANT, as
far ms he car, will mitigate the expressions OF
the laws which he may be compelled TO en-
force For legislative notifications we can
only trust to a change in the northern public
mind not to the effect of developed evils.
Aninaugural address is no: generally con-
sidered q proper vehicle for unfolding poll
cies and special measures for promoting the
efficiency and benefit of government. 1t IS
rather pledge of general devotion to national
interests and welfare, and kind of stately
felicitation ON the power and greatness and
The grand future of the country. Our new
President has made his speech but little more,
and we think very properly. He will proha-
bly, soon have occasion TO enter into state
ment of his views on various subjects OF pub
lie interest If the new Congress proposes to
90 to work il will communicate with the Pre-
sident, and he will doubtless send them do
cument giving his views in detail. We shall
then understand him more fully, and have
something explicit to go upon"
