From the Richmond Dispatch, MarebsI

From the Richmond Dispatch, Marchs.I
During the last week the last will and
testament of an old citizen of Richmond
was admitted to record in the Chancery
Court of this city. In it occurs the follow
ing passages, which are surely a curiosity
in will literatures
"To my daughter WHO have done so
much to ALLEVIATE my affections, but who 7
still deeply and tenderly love, 1 give as an
evidence of the beauties of her doctrines of
secession and rebellion, doctrines and aims
which have reduced me from affluence to
becgary, and as she yet thinks, perhaps,
that the Lost Cause will be regained, she
may think my bequest as valuable, more
so. possible, than the same amount given
in Yankee securities, give herthe follow
ing. viz: Twenty-Five Confederate bonds
of X, HIP & Co., $4,000; IS servants
emancipated by secession, $4,000; insur-
ance and bank stock, 900 all my
claims against the so-called Confederate
Government for the wanton, cruel, and
wicked destruction of my property on the
Sd of April, 1865, 100000. Icould continue
the list of the extent of more than half a
million dollars, but the above will suffice'
She will see what the effect of secession has
been, but for which could have left my
children handsome competency"

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Chief Justice
Chase is in New York, insisting on DEM
ocratic Convention, and nomination by
that body. He is fiercely opposing Judge
Davis. The latter is working vigorously
for himself, and is talking somewhat in

chief rival, and says if the people outside
of Illinois understood his trickery as well
As it is understood in that State, he would
not be dangerous. The third party, move
ment has set two United States Judges on
the Presidential track. There is now Sc
rious talk of passing law making Judges
of the Supreme Court ineligible to any
other office. This may be necessary to
preserve the purity and dignity of the Jul

A rather amusing story is in circ ulation
at thaexnense of the eminent gentleman
frUm Massachusetts,, commonly called 'Old
Strahsmus." At the Presidents levee the
other night, which was densely crowded,
an oil lady from the interior somewhere,
in hinting condition, requested her hus-
bandto get her an ice.
"Cin't be did," responded "hubn in
someirritation; "there amt no refresh
mena here"
'Dbn't believe it, Didn't we get plenty
at Bdkmap's the other night" the good
woman said angrily "NOw go and get
me an ice and some lemonade
81 tell you, now, don't be a fool there
amt no refreshments, everybody says So"
grunted the lord and master.
"Y0u are quite mistaken, SIR said the
Hon. S. S. Cox, who happened to be near,
and who never loses an opportunity to put
in joke. 1.-THE President awOys provides
substaI TALLY. There is his butler, whose
business is to show ladies to the supper
room,n and the Hon. little jester pointed
to General Butler. You'll find him lit
tie stuck up and cross, but you mustn't
mind that; tell him to get you terrapins."
This was said so graVely that the two
struggled through the crowd to where
General Butler stood talking to some Ia
dies.
81 say, mister, L am told you are the but
ler,n said the man.
"I'm General Butler" replied Old Stra-
bismus pleasantly, thinking the two some
country people filled with admiration of
his greatness.
81 don't care whether you are general
butler or not, but my wife wants some TEL
rapins and lemonade.
''Sir?n snorted old B. MANAGEMENT and
disgust.
ooh! don't take on airs, old cock.
Come, now, hurry up those terrapins."
"You must be drunk, sir you must be
drunk !"
mo he ANTI screamed the wife. He's
a Good Templar; he amt drunk, but l
guess you are"
Roars of laughter greeted this, in which
S. S. Cox was forced to join. General
Butler redeemed in the face, and began
putting his cheeks out in the most violent
manner.
81 don't understand this extraordinary
conduct. What do you want, sir-what
do you want?n
"Terrapins, [ tell YOU"
What do you take me for, you cussed
fool" reared Benjamin.
You call me q cussed fool and III hit
you on the snout," screamed the man.
At this juncture an officer of the police
seized the belligerent husband and led him
away amid much laughter. Butler, turn
ing suddenly, saw the mischief maker.
II say, Cox, did you do that?"
''Well, yes, Pm afraid 1 did,

And the two walked lovingly away.

REFORM IN MEXICO

President Tejada has signalized his in
duction into Office by an act of forgiveness
and craftsmanship that gives evidence of
his disposition to do justice to Northern
Mexico in relieving it of the expressions
Of General Cortina. One of the most
powerful revolutions ever set on foot
against President Juarez was that which
originated with Governor Andreas Ire
vino, Of Tamaulipas, and General Qui-
roga, Of Nuevo Leon. The entire force
of the republic Of Mexico was required to
suppress it, and the seeds Of the trouble
were 50 widespread that even Juarez was
forced to treat with the rebels before he
could secure himself against new demon
stration We doubt very much if the
peace could have been maintained under
Juarez, for he manifested q disposition to
adhere to Cortina. and the sentiment Of
the respectable Mexicans was against the
retention Of such a man in the highest
office in their midst. The death of Jua-
rez presented an opportunity to correct
this evil, and President Tejada has taken
an early opportunity to supplant the
favorite Of the late government in
favor of the favorite of the late revolu-
ton. Governor Andreas Trevino has
been appointed to the command OF
the national troops on the Rio Grande,
which at once paciies the disconnected
elements, and gives assurance that the
Northern States of Mexico will hereafter
be ruled by man who commands the re-
spect Of the people on both sides Of the
line. Governor Andreas Trevino belongs
to powerful family in Tamaulpas; he has
the support Of the old Vidaurri party in
NueVo Leon; he speaks the English Ian
guage with fuency, and his ideas Of gov
eminent are broad and liberal. There
will be no more cattle stealing on the
frontier while he is in command of North
ern Mexico, and the foreign element will
be protected from forced loans and unjust
imprisonment by an officer who under
stands the principles Of international law,
and is just and courageous man in his
private life and actions President Tejada
has struck another blow in favor of re-
form, and as he has been successful in
ca frying out his liberal policy heretofore,
we assume that he will be successful in
the present instance Cortina will have
to retire into less conspicuous role, for
it is highly probable that General Quiroga |
will be intrusted with the work of teach ng
him the beauties of civil and military |

CONFIDENCE SHAKEN ALREADY.

A gentleman in need of money ap-
preached prominent broker on Caron-
delet street yesterday for a loan based. on
mortgage paper. He was answered that
nothing could be done in that line at
present, except upon most disadvantage
Gus terms, for the owners Of money are
holding it back to see how the election is
going All the European houses have
been ordered to act with great prudence
until it is certain that Kellogg and An
tome will not be elected, as their success
would be considered disaster that would
impair the value Of all property in Louis
lana. The applicant happened to be a
friend Of Governor .Warmoth, and he
responded to this negative that if the
State went for Kellogg it would be the
work of the Democrats, since they had
refused the only means whereby Kellogg
could be defeated. The condition of
affairs in this State, said the. borrower,
can be properly ikened to a business
transaction, wherein man seeks to pay
fifteen thousand with twelve thousand.
The opposition to Kellogg needs eighty
thousand votes, and nothing short of this.
amount Of voting. capital will meet the
demands of the election in the fall.
The Democrats pretend that they
can take their forty thousand votes
and pay this demand with them,
making a still further show Of resources
by borrowing from the Reformers, who
really constitute part. of their reserve
fund. Any broker can see that this trans
action must be a failure, and the Judgment
Of every sensible man should be that the
party that attempts to do business in this
way is not worthy to be trusted. If the
Democrats had really and honestly in
tended tobeat Kellogg they would have
gone into the market and borrowed from
any lender the requisite capital that was
needed to carry its point, or it would have
admitted q partner with the necessary
funds if it could not become borrower
Governor Warmoth had the capitalize
possessed the means-not in his own per-
sOnal right, but as the friend and agent of
others. He could not lend these voters
to any other man, bnt he could use them
if he was allowed to have a voice in con-
trolling their future management. The
Democrats refused to hear to this, but
stubbornly insisted on beating eighty thou
sand men with their forty. The result |
will be seen in November, and the gentle
men who fail to secure money upon their
real estate after that time may blame them
selves for the disaster that destroyed their
credit.
