turned last night, and reports the coun-
try quiet and the people ready to talk

that the account of affairs recently given

be stopped by due course of law. One
prominent lawyer stated that he had no
doubt there was a large organization of
Ku Klux, and that many of them were
respectable citizens who had no sympathy
with the marauders, and that within ten
days a full disclosure would be made Of
the standing of the order, and those who
have repented Of their connection with
it would assist in suppressing it. The

Law repeating stamp taxes on certain instru-

commissioner OF internal revenue reply, d.
rccted to R. NJ. Smith, Esq, Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the third District of Ma
rylaud, covering the case. Stamp taxes en-
paper and documents issued on and after De-
tober LIST, 1872, are repealed, excepting only
two cents each on such inland checks. drafts
or orders as are yet drawn st sight upon a
bank, banker or trust company. All checks,
therefore, drawn as above. for large or small
sums, require each two cent internal reve-
nue. stamp-a matter which should not be
neglected by any one.

RICHMOND. April 10. 1873.

The election for State officers and a new
Legislature will be held in November next
in Virginia. A large meeting Of the State
Republican Committee was in attendance
here to-day pursuant to call. The members
of the committee represent that there is lit
tie, if any, difference Of opinion as to who
will be the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, the general feeling being in favor Of
Colonel Robert W. Hughes, of Abingdon
There is no probability Of railroad issues be-
ing introduced into the Republican platform.
Colonel Hughes remarked that for thirty
years political parties in this State had allow
ed their members to think as they pleased
on railroads and religion.
The disposition, the material development
of the State through aid from the national
government and the cultivation Of liberal
sentiments towards Northern mechanics,
manufacturers. farmers and capitalists COM
ing here, the leading ideas Of the campaign.
The Republicans will probably express their
appreciation of respectable aud worthy car
pet-baggers by putting Mr.. G. P. Ramsdell.
legislator from Surry county, on their ticket
candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. There
is general feeling in favor of Mr.. Lunsford
T.. Lewis, of -Culpepper county. grandson of
Judge Lomax and half-brother Of Senator
Lewis, as candidate for Attorney General
The committee express entire confidence that
the convention will be harmonious and be-
lieve that its nominations will be made by
reclamation. They also speak with conf
dence of carrying the State. They say that
Virginia gave Grant upwards of five thousand
votes over Greeley, though the Conservative
canvassers Of the votes only counted them
2 900 majority. The members Of the com.
mittee further declare that the people in all
parts of the State are looking anxiously for
aid from Congress for the common schools
and for the completion Of the Virginia water
line, and are disposed to put their State
government in accord With the ruling party
in Congress.
