A COL0RsD MEMBER OF IHE VIRGINIA
LEGISLATURE INTERVIEWED.
He Wants Ia Go to COngress-Ilis Regard

Legislator and SensibIy Invested IL In Land.

GFrom the Richmond Enquirer, August 81
Alexander Owen, colored member OF the House
of Delegates, from Halifax, was in the city yes
terday He has no trace of white blood in him,
but evinces the same attachment for white people
that many Of his did before the late unpleas-
antness. IL. takes his from his former mas
ter, Colonel William j.. Owen, OF Halifax. When
we saw him yesterday he was talking to pOpu-
lar attache OF the House. for whom he evidently
entertains an affectionate regard. AS their con
versatioD about as interesting as most Inter
views now published in the newspapers, we give
House Attache-Well Alec, who are yon all
going to send to Congress FROM the Halifax dis
trict?
Owen-I don't know. ! thought Of esigning
the Legislature and running myself. There never
was better chance FOR a colored man. They
think that when we get SO far that'h do; but I'll
show them better.
House Attache-T thought Clarke, Of Pittsyl-
vania, was u candidate for the nomination.
Owen--Wby g. Y. Thomas would beat him out
of his boots. He wouldn't be nowhere.
House Attache-What of Colonel Wood, your
Halifax friend?
Owen-He hasn't got hls disabilities removed
House Attaehe-wel, Alec, suppose you
have spent all your money!
Owen--Nary time. ! carried from Richmond
eleven fifty dollar bills, and that, ] bet, is more
than any other member did. More than that i
gave it to the Boss, and he invested it in as good
land for me as there il in Halifax.
House Attacho--You believe in the Boss (Col.
onel William l.. Owcn)?
Owen-I reckon do. You all seed how we'll
got on in the Legislature. Well, didn't give

do believe In the Boss, and would vote for hin
for any office, even for General Grants place.
House Attache--You gave General Mahone q
lift, then?
Owen--Yes; and if IL hadn't been for me Mr..
Bufords bin would have been defeated. Speaker
Turner he tried to kill it by amendment Saturday
night, and Monday morning got the colored men
all right, and told the white men were they going
back on my section w1cn I had stood by thern.
They then voted for Mr.. Buford's bill ike men.
Here Owen inquired where was the best store
TO get good and cheap undercothing, and left to
make purchases OF one Of the E,tqai,'e,''s adver-

PANAMA, July 6, 1870.
Since the departure of the steamer Ocean
Queen on the Sd inst, for New York, the mails
from Bogota have been received here with details
of news from the capital, short synopsis Of
which, received by telegraph, have already sent
you. The Canal treaty had passed the House
of Representatives and been returned to the Sen-
ate with such amendments as that body
had seen proper to. make in accordance with the
wishes of General Hurlbut, United States Minister,
who declared the treaty, in tie form in which it
left the Senate, unacceptable to the United States.
The most important modification of the Senate,
and objected to by the House, was in article
eleven. This article prohibits all vessels of war
belonging to nations not at peace with the United
States of America being allowed to pass through
the canal. Mr.. Hurlout observed that if this
article was altered the treaty could not be
accepted by the Executive or by the Senate ut
Washington. 1t was feared nevertheless, that the
discussion would occupy many days, as the chief
opposition members, Rojas, Garrldo, Agustin
Nunez and Carlos Martin declared they would use
every means to prevent the negotiation being
decided during the present session OF Congress.
The majority were disposed to bring the con-
sideraton of the treaty 10 speedy and successful
termination.
A Spanish commissioner had arrived at Bogota,
named Don Gutierrez de Alba, for the purpose Of
procuring from the government Of this republic
promise 10 withhold aid and protection from the.
cause of the Cuban patriots. Public opinion was
decidedly against the commissioner.
The Fourth of July passed offhere very quietly
unusually Not since the commencement Of
the war have seen the great day of national
independence 50 little respected in Panama.

RIO JASEIRo, July a. 1870.
The Entire Rios trouble continues in doubtful
state although the Buenos Ayres papers are san
guine and almost jublant. But Lopez Jordan has
not given up the ghost and the last accounts place
him at thirty miles from Concordia, marching
with 5000 cavalry, COO infantry and twelve field
pieces towards that town, while party had fallen
on Federation, village settlement, and ravaged
1t, committing great excesses, il Is said. The gov
ernment troops were marching on Jordan from
three directions; the main force, under Rivas,
being so near that the battle was expected to
come off about the lat of July, at twelve miles
from Concordia. General Miire was marching
from the west, and had sent on force of
cavalry to aid Rivas, and General Gely
y Obes was coming from the north with ths troops
he had raised in Correntes. II united, the gov
ernment forces would be much superior In num-
bers to Jordan's, and even Rivas' corps is sad to
exceed them, especially in infantry; but probably
Jordan will precipitate battle while Rvas is yet
without junction with Mitre.
Across the Uruguay in the republic Of Uruguay,
a force of the Montevidean government, under
Caraballo, was watching near Salto In the expec-
tation that, II Lopez Jordan were beaten he might
try TO cross into Uruguay. The other force, under
south bank OF the Negro, the nsurgent leader.
Aparicio having crossed and marched towards the
Uruguay with the aim. IL was said, Of joining an
Entire Rios force coming to his aid. The fate OF
Uruguay depends on that of Entire Rios, but the
government forces show great skill In being
where the insurgents are not. A little skirmish is
reported in which the government commander
announces his triumph. a report that Colonia
was taken by Aparicio proves unfounded but 200
men and some cannon had been sent to guard it.

The Diehl wheat, which has of late been
extensively introduced into Michigan, is
said to be peculiarly liable to sprout and grow
in harvesting, when the weather is Camp
and moist, as it has been this year in that
state; and, in some cases, the shocks on
whole fields of forty acres are almost green.

GRATING THE PEAR ON THE APPLE.
j. Thomas says that grating the pear On the
apple stock occasionally succeeds with some
varieties. We have seen the Seckel doubled
in size by working on the apple, at the same
time that its quality was lessened- But the
union is imperfect, and the graft generally
breaks off in few years. Some varieties
do tolerable we'll for time, but we cannot
recommend the practice, except to such as
merely wish to amuse themselves with un-

SELECTING CALVES FOR Mixers.
writer in one of our exchanges says: The
points that indicate the good COW are dis
cernable in the calf, and why not This may
stagger some dairymen, but that is just
what wewish to do. This wholesale slaugh-
tering of calves in the spring is wrong. A
calf will show good milk mirror as well as
a COW, rich creamcolored udder as well as
a COW, and healthy look and stror loin
as well as COW and these points make up
a COW every time Let the breed be what it
may, this is our experience in the matter
A calf that i. worth ten or fifteen dollars
should not be killed for its mere hide, for
the lack Of Judgment in selecting.

at this time, when several important cleo
tions are about TO be held, it is highly impor-
tant that all possible measures should be taken
to ensure in those elections a triumphant vic
tory for the Republican party. 1t is true that
the issues OF the war have, to a great extent,
been settled. But this should not lull us into
false security, or make us less vigiant than
we have heretofore been. New questions are
now before the people of great and supreme
Importance. And it is due to the past fidelity
and devotion of the Republican, party. that we
should allow it to solve them. The first year
OF Gen. Grants administration, despite the
sneers and falsehoods of the Democratic press.
has more than satisfied the expectations OF
the people. The National Debt has been ma
terially reduced, and the expenses of the Gov
eminent greatly lessened. In the light of
these facts, the duty of the people is plain.
and easily understood. In 1868 we elected
Gen. Grant TO the Presidency. At that time
the enthusiasm Of the people was at its high
est point. And although there is now no
such cause for excitement, yet it is clearly our
duty to sustain and encourage the administra-
ton, By q large and overwhelming majority.
1t is not enough that we should be content
with past victories, but we should continue
our efforts, and show by our renewed devotion
to the principles of the Republican party, that
we are still alive to the Importance of MAIN
tanning and perpetuatine It's existence. The
enemy, beaten on every side, in their despair
and hopelessness, are willing to take advan-
tage of even the slightest discord in our ranks.
And by fostering and encouraging those dis
sensons, they hope to reduce our majority,
and thus boast OF great gains in the State.
We should not allow this. After we have
passed successfully through the periIs and
disasters of the war, into the glorious light of
peace and prosperity, we should not allow the
results of the war to be repudiated and cast
aside. But casting aside all local or personal
feelings, and seeking only the good Of the
party, we should, in the coming elections,
give renewed assurance that we still approve
and sustain the principles of the Republican
party, and are willing to leave the great ques-
tons that may arise in the future, in its
hands. Let lis then resist all measures that
tend to divide or ALLEVIATE one section of the
party from another, aud standing shoulder 20
shoulder in the ranks, as we stood all through
the dark days of the Rebellion, let us 20 for
ward to the polls, resolved, to sustain and up
hold the fruits of our victories in the past. AMI
place them beyond the reach of overthrow
and reputation. CIV.
