VIRGINIA UNCONSTITUTIONAL make
the following extract from an excellent arti

with the passage of the Virginia bill BY

that negro named "Luther Lee has beer

ment, our impression is that Luther Lee il
not negro-but rpet-bagger. We al

some negro justices of the peace in Amelia
county.
We learn also that General Ames, Van
kee officer, has been selected to represent
Mississippi in the Senate of the United States
along with coal black negro, named Revel
as his colleague.
This is the mild system of reconstruction
to which the South is treated, and which
seems to delight some of our people SO much
that we we understand the admission Of Vir
ginia is to be signalized by the ringing Of
bells and the booming of cannon-and VIZ

with. salutes and fireworks and festive dem
