Legislativ e Proceedings.

RICHMOND, May 24.-In the Senate to-
day, the Committee on privileges and
elections reported that it was inexpedient
to provide for the registration and voting
of the members and officers Of the Gener-
al Assembly, who arc detained in hich-
mond in the performance of their public
duties; to provide for the auditing of the
accounts of the different counties in the
State and fixing the county levy for the
present year, and to protect the oyster
beds in the waters of this Commonwealth.
The COMMITTEES on county, city and
town organization was instructed to take
under consideration the expediency Of
amending theact to provide for general
election, so as to provide for the filing
of all vancancies occurring in county, cor
poration and township offices, on account
of death, failure to qualify or otherwise,
by appointment, to be made By county
or corporation judges until the next sue
ceeding general election.
The bill for the protection of factors and
merchants, reported from the committee
on courts of justice with the recommends
ton that it dc. not pass, was made the
special order of the day for tomor-
row. This bill gives the sellers of fertil-
izers &C., liens upon farmers crops for the
amount which may be due for their pur-
chase,
The bin to provide for and regulate the
settlement of debts contracted prior to
May 1865 was tabled after debate.
The consideration of the bill to prevent
the sacrafce of personal property at
forced sales, occupied nearly all day.
The Senate bill amending the code in
reference to the Jurisdiction of judges to
award ininnctions, with amendments,
was passed.
Seventeen members Of the House and
three or four of the Senate were granted
leaves of absence from two to ten days
and SO it goes.

In reference to the late elections in this
State, the Baltimore Gazette says:

State, the Baltimore Gazette says
The general result Of the Virginia
municipal election, SO Far as we have re-
turns. isSin favor of the Conservatives,
except in Portsmouth. where the en-
ployees of the Gosport Navy Yard gave a
heavy Radical majority, and in Peters
burg. Manchester ANA Richmond, where
an unusual number Of blacks are con-
gregated. The Richmond election is still
somewhat in doubt, as frauds have been
discovered which, when corrected, may
give Ellyson legitimate majority.
Radlcalism in Virginia, as elsewhere in
the South, means the use of the blacks
for the purpose Of domineering over and
plundering the whites, and the reconstruc-
ton which has been vouchsafed by Con-
press and Radical Administration. such
as it is, so far from meaning peace means
domestic strife, never to be quoted until
the unfortunate negro is driven by neeessi-

politicians have only bestowed upon him

He is made a mere stalking horse, under
whose cover few demagogues may crawl
into places, which have no attraction for
them but plumber. In Richmond there
are $500 registered white and 600
black voters. BY buying 80 white
votes and controlling the whole black vote
a majority can be had. In order to OBJ
tain this vote, and to vote it soiidly, it is
necessary to keep up feeling among the
blacks againstthe whites, and to feFment
an animosity which may yet. in the event
of other closely contested political strug-
giles of more national character, where
the Radical party is more deeply inter-
.ested in the result, lead to disastrous
consequences. It Unjust be recollected that
the nature ofthe African is much more
excitable and brutal than that of the
Apglo-Saxou, and that he is much more

WOODSTOCK, May 10, 1870.
Messrs. Editors i send you a few
lines from the unterrifed Tenth Legion, -
a district you know ante begun5 the
stronghold of democracy. AS the old
party lines were then drawn, Shenandoah
was democratic to the core, the wing par

maintenance of the '.lost cause - Much
of her best blood and life was poured at
its shrine and though there is submis
sion to the powers that be and conformity
to the new state of things, there still lin
gers a love for that which is irredeema-
bly, gone which crops out in word. if not
in deed. Hence the townships into which
the county has been lately divided are
named after their vcneratnd leaders and
heroes, Stonewal, Lee, Johnston add
not Grant, Averill, and the like, as 1t is
in Jefferson.
Yesterday was the regular monthly

magisterial bench has passed away. and

Late County Elections.

The late elections in this county pass
ed off very quietly, and in general good
feeling, resulting in the selection of good
and competent officials. 1t was general
free fight, confined principally to the con
sentative family. With bat several ex-
ceptions, the whole county is differed
with staunch conservatives-several, how
ever, of doubtful faith were compromised
into the family. This fact however, is
no evidence Of the existance Of any re-
spectacle faction of the Republican party
in this county. Now that we have COM
piled with this part of the new organiza-
ton, we are patiently awaiting the further
action of the Legislature. We have the
officers, bat they are dutiless until the
Legislature will prescribe them. It is to be
hoped that private interests will yield, for
awhile, to the further organization of The
State government.
