The Amended Charter.

Should the amended charter be ratified next
Thursday the Conservatives who vote for il
ratification must bear in mind that 'oU oGicefs
and CLERKS" are to be elected by the people.
No wouder the negroes, to i man, are going 10
vote for it; and looking at the question from
their stand point, who can blame them? Hav.
lug an eye 90 the poIiccman's baton, they see
a once an opportunity to step into authority.
Now let every man who wants TO see negro pc.
lice men, vote early aud often for the ratification
of the charter. Some boot al the idea and say
the Conservatives are in the majority. and CAP
elect the officers, but We are divided, our
adversaries united TO man. That the police

opinion Of lawyers, and conceded by The friends
OF the bill. VINO, however, talk about compro.
mise by alloUmg the Council 10 elect, over
looking The tact that police nan So elect i
would not be lawful otfc r. aud could not
enforce ubedlenc. to the law; besides, the ne.
grocs, who are relied on to put this Amendment
through, would not likely stand quietly hy and
see thar rights taken from them. when the
Courts are open Tor redress. So walk up gen

A Scrap From History.

When Alexandria city aud county retroceded
to Virginia, the late Edgar Snowden was mayor
of the city and When the first election under
the retrocesson act was ordered, the question
of MIR. SDowden's eligibility to reelection was
agitated by his friends; and as there was a
doubt Oh the subject, Mr.. ). preferred not to
take the benefit OF that doubt, and declined to
run as a candidate for the position aod gave
way to the late Robt. Violet, who was elected
Ia his stead. Mr.. Snowdcu knew that lis par
tvs success was Of more Importance to him
than the salary OF the office, and that having
been fully honored by being mayor, contest
for the place. with his own party, would leave
him open to the charge Of desiring the place
Tor the money which il paid. The practical
good of MIR. Snowden' example cX .rted sa u
tary effect upon his party, and long taught the
lesson, to those who were in Office, that when a
portion Of their party demaud: d their with
drswal from a candidacy for office, it Was
far better for them to step aside AMI allow some
one else have the position; for nothing 50 ra-
pidly breaks down party AS Tor the uthcrho
ders Of it TO persist in the effort to retain their
places after they have had as much or more
emolument than their melit warranted. Let
not the greed of oficehoIders destroy the Con
scrvativc party. Step aside gentlemen for
while, and be pusbcrs instead OF selfish pilots,
aud show by your hard work that you have
meritcd the reverb which you have already re

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
SATURDAY. APRIL %. 1876.

The correspondent Of the Boston Advertiser
having sent telegram to that paper. saying
that Capt Sam Chapman had been concerned
in the massacre OF thirty Uuon soldiers during
the war, Col. Mosby has authorized the same
person to send another dispatch, saying, that
whatever Chapman did was under his order.
aud he has no apology to make tor 1t, and
moreover, that if he or any of bis meu are ever
caught burning dwelling houses in NV Eng
land, as these we're by Chapman in Virginia,
that they will expect to be hung or shot Oh
the spot; and that ii he should ever catch any
body from Boston burning dwelling houses 10
Virginia over the heads of defenseless women
ana children they may expect to share the
same fate Ii seems that 10 August 1864,
General Custer was camped near Berry
vile, and sept out squadron OF cavalry
with orders to burn the dwelling houses In
that vicinity. ColoDe Mosby sent Chap
man in pursuit of them with orders "to shoot
on the spot" all he caught in the act OF burt-
ing dwelling houses. Chapman followed their
track, which was lighted by the blaze Of the
burning homes of the citizens of Clarke. Many
of the men who were with him passed by the
smoking ruins of their own homes and wit
messed the agony Of their mothers aud sisters
driven out 10 the world without shelter, and
they swore bloody vows Of revenge. They over
tpnk the party Of burners at the house OF Col.
Morgan, which was then on fire, aud from
which the occupants had just been driven.
Chapman's meu charged them with yell and
both sides fought with the savage fury OF men
who knew no quarter WAS to be given. These
are the facts, and Chapman stands indicated
10 the eyes of all honorable men. The most
conclusive proof that 20 stain attaches to Capt
Chapman is the fact that at Accotiuk, 10 Fair
fax, is colony Of Northern men, all of whom
are Republicans, aud some ofwhom were Union
soldiers, and these men, about two years ago,
selected Capt. Chapman, who is the model OF
Christian soldier ana gentleman, to preach
for them Surely these people would not select
as preacher Of the Gospel man whose gar
ments were stained with innocent blood.
