WE are rs deeply panied as any one
can be that our action in publishing
the letter of Rev. NJ. Duggan in our
last issue has wrought injustice to the
Convent at Abingdon. We are rejoiced
to know that there is no shadow of
foundation for the allegations contain
ed in the letter. Reaching us as 1t did
from Priest of the Catholic Church
"a Priest whose character was unim-
peached, we had no right to assume
that IL was untrue, and we extended
to him right we shall always be glad
to extend to others, that of acquitting
himself and his church of participa-
ton in immortality by his readiness to
expose il. We were informed by a
member of the Catholic church and a
friend Of the Convent that the writer
OF the letter was in rugular standing
with the church of which he was n
Priest and there was in our reach no
means Of knowing that he was suffer-
/. Ing from mental arrangement, though
we did mention the fact that his letter
produced such impression on our mind.
We will simply add that we have no
sort Of doubt that those assailed in that
letter are entitled to comP,ste vindi-
cation; that the convent is not liable
to the very least of Father Daggan's
imputation.
The entire difficulty has been caused
by the secrecy which seems to have
been studiously, but charitably thrown
over the frailties and the deposing of
Mr.. Duggan by his recent church pee
pie at Abingdon. We publish to-day
the letter of Rev. Mr.. Boyce and have
Others in our possession, but 1t Is
enough. No one will now for n mo
ment give the least credit to Mr.. Dug
gan's letter. ---

The new constitution has been pro-
claimed the law CT the land to take ef-
feet from May 9Th 1870. The official

We clip the following pertinent al
lusions from the Jnion and american.
Under the new constitution, an cleo
ton for judicial and other civil officers
will be held on the first Thursday in
Angst next. Under the provision, all
county offices not filled at the March
election, become vacant on the first
day of September, and will be filled at
the August election.
An election will be held on the sec
ond Tuesday in November next for
Governor and members of the General
Assembly. AT the same time mem
bers of Congress are to be elected.
Hereafter no certificate Of registra-
ton will be necessary to vote, as the
ratification of the new constitution
terminated the official existence OF
Commissioners of Registration. I'm
der the new constitution every male
person of the age OF twenty-one years,
being n citizen of tho United States,
and resident of the State for twelve
months, and Of the county wherein he
may offer his vote for six months next

titled 10 vote in all elections, but law
OF the Legislature requires every voter
10 vote in the civil district in which he
resides. The new constitution provides
that " there shall be no qualification
attached TO the right of suffrage, except
that each voter shall give TO the Judges

satisfactory evidence that he has paid
tho. poll tax assessed against him foI
such preceding period as the Lcglsla.

Trivial Of Gen. Jordan and Othrr Cuban
Cisiecrs-Statemen. o. the Condition Of
InsurgeBt AiIairs.

NEW NoRK, clay G.-Gcn Jordan,
Col. Castill, Major Bartacourt, and 9th
or officers of the Cuban service arrived
to-day. They report the Cuban cause
in better condition than at any previ-
Gus stage. The success of the revolu-
ton depends only ON time. Their sup
plies are considerable. Arms and ann
mqnition are safely received from
abroad. Much has also been taken
from the enemy. Tie stock OF afraila,,-
milton OH hand is sufficient for their
present needs. The Cuban army num-
bers about 10000 equipped men. They
have artillery sufficient for their pres
ent method of warfare. 1t consists
chiefly OF mountain howizcrs. The
season now is in favor of the revolu-
tionists, giving them what they most
necd-tilne for organization and the
collection of supplies. The rainy sea-
son retards the Spanish operations, and
when that 10 over the heat of summer
will prevent the Spaniards from push
ing the war far.
Col. Castillo, q wealthy planter of
the interior, who is thoroughly famil-
Tor with all the resources of the revo-
luton, says it has never been so strong
as its friends claimed, nor so weak ms
the Spaniards assert, but be regards
the situation at present as altogether
hopeful.
