termined Republican meeting held here for

an able, eloquent and impressive speech of
40 hour, reviewing the history Of the abo-

our ticket beyond doubt. Our camp

Letter from Petersburg.
PETERSBURG, May 10, 1871.
10 Editor of The State Journal

To the Editor Of the State Journal:
have taken some pains to obtain cor
rect returns of the registration es it now
stands in this city. The following is from
the official lists, except the fifth ward, and
that is believed to be correct: .e
First Ward-CoIored voters, 666; white
voters, 282-colored majority 354.
Second Ward-Colored voters, 263 j;
white voters, 2s5-colored majority 20.
Third Ward--White voters, sis; COL
oied voters, 3s8-white majority 1876.
Fourth Ward--White voters, 563 cot
ored voters, 600-white majority GO.
Fifth Ward-White voters, 425 col
ored voters, 2S8-white majority 1877.
Sixth Ward--Colored voters, 1888; white
voters, 256-colored majority 532.
Total colored majority, 944 total white
majority, 326-making the colored ma
j,rity in the entire city, 6l8.
We hear surprise expressed on all sides
al to the con viction of these men on such
insufficient testimony as was brought out
at the trial. If these men were guilty of
this atrocious crime, the universal desire is
that they shall be punished. But grave
doubts are expressed by not Republicans
merely, but intelligent thinking men of all
parties, as to the guilt of these men.
The conviction of the two colored men
at the Prince George court of the murder
of Charles Friend, is causing great deal
Of comment. 1t Is remarkable that our
city papers have shown SO little enterprise
in not giving the proceedings of the trial
10 matter that has excited so much Of
public interest.
learn that a gentleman, distinguished
for bis life long deeds of benevolence, has
taken deep interest in this affair, and
will endeavor to get at the real facts. He
is not Republican, and is prompted alone,
as believe, by his humane feelings. 1t
is hoped he will be able to probe the mat
ter to the bottom and bring the truth to
light. OCCASIONALLY.
