THE LAWYERS IN RICHMOND. The Rich
mond correspondent OF the Petersburg Index,
says
A meeting of the members of the bar ofsthe
city of Richmond was held in the Hastings
Court room on Tuesday, for the purpose OF
taking more action to cause the expulsion from
the profession of Johnson II. Sands, who has been
twice convicted of felony in Chahoon and
Haunstein case The report of committee
appointed at previous meeting was presented,
recommending that hereafter no member OF the
Richmond bar will take or remain in cause in
which said Sands is employed, an d asking the
Judge Of the Circuit Courts OF Henrico and
Richmond to supercede his license. Judge
OuId and other gentlemen present commended
rat whatever rcpugnance lawyer might have
TO being engaged in course with convicted
felon that his duty to his client was paramount
to every other consideration, and that no one
ought to refuse to defend suit in which Sands
might appear as adversary council. The report
was amended so to read as to declare that no
member of the bar will allow himself to become
associated" with this party. and the rcso!u
tons were then unanimously adopted.
An attempt was made to take action IN re-
gard to the case of Samuel NJ. Page, who con-
fessed upon his examination as witness, that
he, while acting as executor in the Haunsteln
estate had taken bride, but as it appeared
that Page had not acted III this matter in his
professional character, and as it seemed that
his license could not properly be withdrawn by
the courts, the consideration of that matter was
postponed for the present, though undoubtcd-
y, at some time soon, be will be publicly ruled
out of practice, as he is now practically, IN con.
nection with all respectable lawyers.

A TARIFF OF REvENUE.-In his speech il
the House Of Representatives on Tuesday, Mr.
Brooks, of New York, brought forward the f.
nancial scheme of the democratic members Of
the committee. The proper expenditures Of
ally, which he arrived at by taking the expen
SEES in 1860, and adding thirty per cent for in,
creased population, ten per cent. for premium
on gold, the interest on the public debt, pen
sions, and the sinking fund. From customs he
proposed to raise Sl52000,000 of this sum,
chiefly from sugar, wool, woolens, glass; iron
and steel, fixing the duties in all cases as high
as they were under the wing tariff Of lS42, with
which he said the manufacturers were satisfied.
Salt, coal and lumber he put on the free list,
together with between six hundred and seven
| hundred articles on which tariff is now laid.
From internal revenue his plan contemplated
obtaining 500, 100000, BY placing the tax on
spirits at IS cents, as fixed in the committee
| bill, making the tobacco tax uniform at 20 cts.
! continuing the present rates on fermented
| liquors, and also the stamp taxes and the taxes
| on banks, except saving banks Adding to the
customs receipts and the internal revenue
81, 1000, 900 from land sales $5,00O,000 from
| miscellaneous sources, and $l2,000,000 from
elasticity of the revenue, he reached a total of
income of S2T2, 900, 900, leaving surplus over
expenditure of $50 100000 to 60 toward re-
ducing the debt, or to be diminished by a
further reduction of taxation. He thought the
debt should not be reduced more rapidly than
per cent. per annum, as provided by the
sinking fund
SINGULAR MANIFESTATION OF SPITE
About forty years ago there resided in the town
of Jackson, Washington county, New York, a
well-to-do farmer by the name Of Ferguson.
He was industrious and frugal, but after time
became addicted to the use of Intoxicating
drinks, and, when under the Influence of his
favorie beverage, would be liberal to such an
extent that he would give away any property
which might be at his disposal at the time.
Fearing that he would thus squander all his ef-
tects, a commission was obtained and the prop
ertv placed in the hands of his son. When the
papers we're served on the old man he re-
marked, You have taken my property from
me, have you and are obliged to support and
take care of me-" He immediately took to his
bed and continued to- remain there day and
night, for twenty years. For the first few years
he would get up and shave himself every Sat
urday, and then Immediately take bis bed
again, but for the last fifteen years of his life
he was waited upon as an infant notwithstand-
ing he enjoyed good health and was in the pos
session Of all bis faculties, mental and physical

Every one Of these States is sure for
Greeley.
In 1868, Virginia. Mississippi and
Texas, not being reconstructed after
the Republican fashion, were not al

that Virginia and Texas are as certain
for Greeley as Vermont and Massachu-

We may here remark that in 1865
Grant carried the States of West Vir-

fashion since everybody votes-and
they are certain for Greeley by large

Wendell Phillips has lately written
bitter philippe against Greeley and sum
ner to a colored man in Boston, IN
which he advises the negroes, IT Greeley
is elected:--
"To ann, concentrate, conceal Your
property, but organize for defence
He had previously told the negroes to
vote for Grant
"As you value property, life, wife, or
children"
This is almost eqnal to the Grant
orators in Virginia, who explain that
Horace Greeley would sell their wlVe5
into slavery. and eat their children ON
the half>shell, with pepper and Norces-
tersLire sauce. The Chicago Ifibt"e
thus speaks Of Phillips call to lnsur-
rection:
docs Mr.. Phillips, who kept secure
ly out Of the Anti-Slayery fight, agree 10
lead regiment Of blacks in the new
insurrection which he counseIs? Does
he think a war Of color between twelve
or twenty millions Of whites and tour
millions of blacks will be a good thing
for the blacks? Can he not see that the
intemperate words which may merely
add to hls notoriety as a yitriol,thrower
in Boston. may spring up INTO negro
riots and the worst OF all conflicts Mt inc
South?
The Grant party now combines many
Of the elements most dangerous to l'e-
publican institutions. 1t is carrying
load Of ignorant black voters, more
clannish, excitable, and mreasonlng
than ever before burdened a political
party in this country, and hence more
easily led by demagogues, who are al

we may call the "war powers OF the

the power Of office, Of patronage, ana Oh

The SecOr Fraud.
From the Chicago Tribune.

In 1862, the firms Of Secor x Co., and
Perine, Sccor d Co., contracted with
the Government to build three mOni-
tors the Tecumsch, Mahopac, and
Manhattan, for ~ $4,000 They were
completed and paid for in 1854. Tie
contractors filed "A claim for extra work,
which was referred to Il Board, headed
by Admiral Gregory. On this claim,
S52l, 1895 was paid. This was in 1854.
The account was then formally closed
by the Navy Department, Secretary
Wells, and Chief Engineer Wood have
testified that this was the case. The
fact is important, fnaSnuch as a rule
of the departmnt forbids the opening,

has been closed 10y another. Early in
1865, the Sccors ACKNOWLEDGED that they
could bring no more claims before the
Department by appealing to Con-

down to standard which will secure the
attendance of the great million, who can
enjoy good thing in the way of music
quite as well, probably, as the richer thou
sand who can squander five dollar green
backs without eompunction. The attrac-
ton of lower prices will doubtless result
in filling the great enclosure once or twice

THE Pittsburg Dispatch says: " Mr..
Greeley is probably weaker in Pennsylva-

The Liberal movement never had any size
here, and his nomination has not increased
its dimensions by the smallest fraction.
We do not know of more than three Re-
publican journals that support him, and
but one of these is more than year old. Of
his old Republican friends and admirers not
one in dozen have followed him in his
pilgrimage to the Democratic temple, and
but two Republican Greeley clubs, with less
than membership of one hundred each,
have been organized out of the ranks of the
party that polled 342, 2s9 votes for Grant

EXPLOSION IN THE DAT CORNER.

There has been sad explosion in the
oat corner, +" to which we have before
alluded, in speaking OF the infamous combi-
nations to monopolize western products
and run up their prices beyond what the
natural laws Of trade would justify, were
they allowed to flow in their legitimate
channels. There arc now about three
million bushels of oats in Chicago. Of
this amount the recent ring" held nearly
one-half. Upon these advances had been
made by the banks to the extent of nearly
thirty cents per bushel. If theprice should
fall below that figure the banks will proba-
bly, have to suffer for assisting in the cor
ner. 1t is also said that several dealers
bought oats few days ago at from
thirty-six to thirty-eight cents to deliver
to the ring on the "put contracts. u
The explosion Of the corner and the
failure of the firm principally inter
ested in it, will leave these spectators tc
make good the difference between the pur
chase price and the price Of oats after thu
collapse. In addition to the loss that vii
be sustained by those who had dealings
with the clique, the trade of the West ha
been completely demoralized by this com
bination. The losses that fall upon tn
banks are just what they deserve for lend
ing themselves to these infamous combina
tons. We would like to see every banl
smashed that goes into one of these specu
lations, or lends hand to their iniquity.

WHAT Horace Greeley said Of Grant
four years ago is just as true of him to-day !:
!" We are led by him who first taught our
armies to conquer in the West, and subse-
quently in the East, also. Richmond would
not come to us until we sent Grant after it,
and then it had to come. lie has never yet
been defeated, and never will be. He will
be as great and successful on the field of
politics as on that of arms" We respect
fully suggest this as an excellent and truth
full motto to put on the Greeley banners in
the coming campaign. 15 @ rf .a.
