A DIFFERENCE nF VIEWS.

The Washington Republican, - las, We k,
with its usual bunderins and dana giug
| frankness, said !:
whatever the 'Whig" may say about
the colored vote Of the State, aoe repeat that
1T as ours. 1t is the fault of the natives
that this is so, for the blacks were reared
under their influence, aud learned all that
they knew about public affairs before emaa,
cipation from them. Sluca then it has teen
the avowed policy of majority of the ma
tives to repress and retar'i every effort made
to elevate the blacks.
The Republican is right. The negro
vote Of Virginia is its own dear vote, and
nobody elses, and it will be generation DC
fore the Republicans will have any other
vote, to speak Of, in Virginia. But th' n
some Of ''ours' are beginning to find out
why it is 'tours" In Richmond, last week
meeting Of negroes was held, called to-
gether by call, for the reasons set forth,
that;
1.-The Republican party of the city of
Richmond State of Virginia, is composed
principally Of colored men, who have no ILL.,
feeling, prejudice, or spite against the
whites and whereas we have been misled
and basely misrepresented by set OF politi
cal demagogues, who have instructed our
people not to trust the white men VI he own
the soil, thereby making it appear that
there is in our hearts feelings OF revenge !;
therefore it is Indispensable that confer
ence of the colored people of the city should
be held at an early day to consider the
questions affecting our future welfare in this
State, and the best means Of pr occurring our
rights before the law"
MAI MMAHoN AND THE NOMINATION.
The Richmond papers says that the nomi-
nation Of COL Hughes will not be secu ell
at Lynohburg without fight. Tie Dis
patch says:
A number of prominent Republicans of
the auti.Hughes faction were in the city
yesterday, and agreed to combine for the
purpose of nominating for Governor any
we'll known and tried Republican rather
than Col. Hughes To this end committee
was appointed to wait upon General William
G. Wickham and ascertain whether he would
be willing to accept nomination. General
Wickham positively declined, alleging that
the acceptance of nomination might inter.
fere with his railroad business, which has
claim upon him paramount to anything else
just now. he has agreed, however, to at.
tend the Convention as delegate, and will
probably favor the claims of Major Edward
Mcmahon, of Augusta, upon whom the op.
position will now PROFESSIONALLY unite
Major Mcmahon was quartermaster in
the Confederate army is an Irishman >
and is reputed to be very wealthy. He is
a contractor on the Valley railroad and is
said to have warm friends all over the State
It is expected that the friends Of Wise, De-
neale, Wickham and Lewis will fipd in him
an acceptable candidate. The article in the

President disclaims having any choice be.

vENT1oN-THE MCMAHON MOVEMENT
WHAT A RADICAL .TH1NKs-THE OPPo.
s1T1oN TO HUGHES,
&c., &C., &C.,
The camp of the radicals is enlivened a
little just now by their choosing delegates
to their State Convention, which meets next
Wednesday in Lynchburg. Their white
lieutenants have been so importunate at
Washington to get Federal recognition Of
the .'claims" Of different men, that the
Washington Republican" the Presidents
organ, has had to define the position Of that
funotionary in regard to them. 1t says he
has expressed no preference, and coolly
transfers the whole hungry pack to the
scramble at Lynchburg. It says:
Tho friends of Gov. Wise have repeatedly
urged his claims for recognition by the Ad-
ministration as an independent candidate,
and have failed to obtain it. In like
manner the friends of Colonel Hughes have
asked that he be recognized as the proper
person to receive the regular nomination.
Other gentlemen have also been mentioned
in similar manner, but believing, as he
does, that the discipline Of the party can be
better served by an earnest support of the
results of the untrammelled deliberations of
the Convention, the President has declined
to express any preference. He aoknowl.
edges the claims of such men as General
Wickham and the Hon Edward McMahon,
as well as those Of Col. Hughes and DR..
Deneale to recognition by their personal
and party friends for valuable services. and
does not hesitate to endorse each one Of them
as deserving Republicans, any one of whom
would make an acceptable and undoubtedly
successful standard bearer, and will give
to the one who is nominated a cordial recog-
milton as the regularly selected candidate of
the party

A RADICAL OPINION.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Amer
ican," writing from Harper's Ferry, gi' es
b S impressions of the probable result ni the
Richmond Convention He says:
1.-The existing attitude of political affairs
in the Old Dominion attracts d large share
of public attention. During recent business
trip over large portion of the western part
of the State, [ took occasion to obtain the
real sentiments Of as many Of the people as
conveniently could, towards the three gen.
tlemen that seem striving for the ascen
dant. The fight for the GovernorShip is
clearly severe one. The Democrats Cor
Conservatives as they style themselves here,
for fear of offending the sensibilities of the
old Wings, who seem to make up large
portion of that party, y if they are able to
retain and to preserve through the canvass
their organization, have decidedly all the
advantages of numbers and talent in their
favor, and will, beyond question, win the
battle. Their candidate for Governor will
probably be General James L. Kemptr, of
Madison county, an ex-Confederate officer,
who was one of the electoral candidates on
the Greeley ticket, and is Aippant, super
fetal advocate, dealing always in high
sounding platitades and sparkling general
ties, and for this reason rather popular
stumper.

years. He was, like his contemporary,
Judge John Robertson, who died few
days since, a fair sample of the "old school,

Hampden Sidney, he commenced the prac-
tice of law, which he suspended to 60 into
the war of 1912 as captain. At its close
he studied under Judge William Daniel,

THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE
STREETS.

Our City Council is still temporizing with
the property of the citizens who elected it,
and expanding their money to do it with
The streets Of this city belong to the corpo.
ration and any Infringement allowed now,
will have to be paid for hereafter. They
will have to be Strengthened eventu-
ally, the city's growth will imperatively de-
mand it for the accommodation of trade, and
then we will have to pay damages for the
very buildings which the council now allows
to encroach on the lines. Richmond, last
week had to pay $4,000 for opening street
through single block, and has spent thous-
ands to straighte streets. Instead of vast
ing the peoples money as our council is
doing, putting petty improvements here and
there which are not worthy of the name,
and which pass away, only the call for
more money to replace them, tho council
should adopt general system, and what
money they spend should all be spent With
that view. If our councilmen would only
look farther ahead, they would be convinced
of the sbortsi ghtedness of their present plan.

SCARCITY OF VESSELS.

The New York Times says There is great
complaint of the extreme scarcity of vessels
at this and all the prominent shipping ports.
Vessels suited to the petroleum, cotton, lum.
Der, naval stores, and the West India sugar
trade are in urgent request, and are taken up
as promptly as offered, for either immediate
or prospective use. This unusual scarcity OF
tonnage seriously embarrasses the export
trade in produce. 1t is particularly felt &,
the moment here by petroleum and grain ship

large sized vessels suited to the petroleum
trade expected to arrive within the next week

of the demand may be mentioned the fact that
a British bark of 799 tons, now loading here
for foreign port, has just made a contract
for the next voyage from Philadelphia to Eu-
rope with petroleum at full market rates.
Several old contracts for vessels to arrive have
