Referring TO Il paragraph in our local coll
umns concerning the arrest of certain PAR
ties. the Petersburg TtdeI says:
We beg leave to- correct the Dispatch in
several OF the above particulars. In the
first place officers Tyler and Craddock are
not entitled TO one hit OF credit for making
the said arrests. They simply accompanied
Mr.. II. {. Donnan when that officer IN de-
tcctirc, not il hallin) made the arrest eff these
parties. Mr.. Donnan obtained tbs informa-
ton which caused these negroes to he suS-
picioned. He tcld the Richmond officers
all he knew. and invited them to 20 with
him To make the arrest. We do not desire
to dctract from the merits claimed for our
Richmond friends. but wish ~ STE justice
done to our own officers.
The reward offered for the detection OF
the murdercrs is Sirttcn hundred dollars.
aud not twenty-slX hundred, as tie DIS
patch states.

BUTLER, PORTER, AND PLAT SPEAR
In the House of Representatives on Tues
day BEAST BUTLER made furious speech,
having waited to hear from Connecticut.
PORTER, carpet-ba Sger from Virginia, also
made fierce onslaught upon the people he
prctends to represent.
PLATT followed suit. They are all OF a
kind. Not one Of them is Nirgilian. But
Ter, however, at least represents his people.
The other two are nobody's representa-
tives. They are merely seeking to feather
their own nests.

A CHANCE FOR INFORMATION LOST,

ACRAHcE FOR INFORMATION LosT.-The
Alexandria Gazette publishes pretty full
sketch OF the remarks made In that city
last Monday night by Mrs. Brown. who
1t would seem, is not many degrees re-
moved from a lunatIc. She told her all'
dieuce that there was ga great reason why
God had made negroes black" and several
times inquired whether she should give the
reason, but the response not being salts
factory, she, like the servant in The
Tanning of the Shrcw," allowed her hear
ers to remain in ignorance Of the reason.

TO hold frequent communication with your
excellent paper. | loved your city then,
aud the more since she has passed through
the furnace have wished was able to take
all her papers, and contribute in every way
to her prosperity. Richmond should share
literally of our Southwest patronage, and
she will if her people use the proper exer-
ton and strive to show her advantages.
For two wears l have bought groceries in
her market, and done better than in Balti-

Our country is teeming with products of
the soil and fruits of her valleys, which
money and fair prices will command. o !!
how Virginia is suffering for money capital
in all her borders.
How are your people on the question of

DIV the evil by electing delegates to our
next Legislature who ut least fear God and

HARRIsoSBURG, April t, 1871.
The late term, which commenced on the
10Th and closed on the 3lst, transacted very
little business besides the organization of
the court.
The grand jury, composed of Hon. Thos.
s. Hargast, OF Winchester, and twenty-five
others, among whom were four colored
men, found only eleven indictments, mostly
for violations of revenue laws.
Seventeen attorneys qualified to practice
in the District and Circuit Courts of this
district.
The clerk and six others from various
points were appointed commissioners in
the Circuit Court.
Some eleven or twelve causes removed
from the Richmond docket were docketed.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, March 81, 1871.

the capitulaion of Yorktown. and the fail
ure OF CORVALLIS to make junction with
those forces resulted doubtless in the cap
ture of his entire army, and the subsequent
foundation of the Federal Union. The

THE INCOME TAX.

The income tax will not be repealed BY the
present Congress. a motion to go into Com
mittGe of the Whole, in order to take up the
bill, was negatived by vote of 1OT nays to
los ayes. This is looked upon as a test vote
in the House, aud as expressing the sense of
that body. The true reason Tor the retention
of this unconstitutional, unjust and inquisitOr.
ial tax is, that the Radical members Of Con.
gress desire to continue in Office the swarm
Of officials engaged in collecting it. 1t is ad-
mitted that the money received from this
source is just about sufficient to pay salaries
aud other expenses; but. so long US u few mil
lions can be wruug from the taxpayers aud
distributed among set of political favorites,
the present Congress will find excuses for con
tiuuIng the system. The next Congress will
make short work Of the income tax, aud, it is
to be hoped, Of R'any o,her abuses which
have been fOstered aud protected by Radical
ism.

HELPS TO FREE GOVERNMENT.

By way Of showing how free government
and republican institutions are cherished pn-
der Radical rule, the Philadelphia Age re-
marks:
"Semi-OceasiOnally, the items going to make
up the contingent expenses Of the War De-
Partment are given to the public. The last
exhibits are OF . character oshock the people
of this free nation, and carry them back to
the Iron Age of force, when men were treat
ed as brutes by their despOtic masters. For
instance, charges are made for thousands Of
sets of haRd-cuffs, leS.irOns, hand and leg
shaekles, anklets, chains aud balls rope and
gallOws in several cases, aud rewards aud ex-
penses to an immense amount of detectives
and mercenary spies and intormeTs who literal.
ly infested the army and the War Department
during the late war. These are the instru,
ments used By the party now in power, to OBJ
tain the hold they have upon the country, aud
they would use them to retain possession of
place and plumber, If such actions did not
menace them with immediate aud proper pun
ishment."
When the enforcement act, rs lately revised
and improved by the Radical couspirators,
shall go into effect, there will probably be a
still greater demand for the iron ornaments
referred to by the Age; and moro secret
service money will be needed to compensate
spies and infOrmers all over the country. All
this may be necessary to keep the Radical
party in power, if not actually required to
preserve 1.-THE best government the world ever
