THE PETERSBURG ELECTION CASE.

RICHMOND, Nov. 30.-In the L. S. Circuit
Court, to-day, Judges Bond and Hughes sit
ting the judges announced that they disagreed
in the Petersburg election cases, and would
certify them up to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Eight judges and three registrars of cleo
ton in Petersburg were indicted under the
Enforcement Act Of Congress, for obstructing
and preventing colored men from voting at
the municipal election in May last.
Counsel for the defendants demurred to the
indictments, and the points raised were elabor-
ately argued. The judges differ on but one
point, viz: that none of the indictments
charge that the persons prevented from voting
were so prevented on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude. Judge
Hughes holds that the indictments are fatally
defective. and thinks this should be made in
order to let III the proof or inference OF
motive.
Judge Bond holds that as the motives Of
men cannot be looked into or proved, except
by their acts; it is sufficient to charge that
citizens of the United States were prevented
from voting, and that the motive of hostility
to the race may be inferred from the act OF
preventing colored voter from voting.
The Convention of the American Cheap
Transportation Association commences here

- The inspector-general of the army says
in his annual report that a regulation is much
needed inficting some punishment on soldiers
who marry without proper permission. Mill
tary posts are sometimes overrun with the
wives of enlisted men. 1t is frequently the
case that company commanders do not know
the number of married men in their compa-
Mes These women manage to get shanties
to live in, to have fuel, to eat, and in case the
company changes its situation, to obtain trans:
portation for themselves and their effects, and
in the majority of cases the lumber for the
construction of the shanties. The fuel, ra-
tions, transportation, &C., are made in some
way out of the government. tits we'll known
that it requires about as much transportation
to move four laundresses as it does to move
whole company of men. In the opinion of
the inspector-general, laundresses can be dis
pensed with in the army just as we'll as not
A man can be detailed on daily duty to do
the washing of the company with the same
facility as laundress, and the results would
be equally satisfactory.
