The Times adds:

scrupulous partisan Davenport at his office,
examined his general political plans, and
assumed the responsibility Of directing the
payment to him during the campaign Of not
less than S26, 900 in addition to all the legal

when he could not have mistaken the pur-
pose OF Davenport to employ the money to
pollute instead OF protecting the integrity
OF the election"
Again:

obcying the laws by expanding the secret
fund OF the Department OF Justice is q
mockery OF the truth and an insult to every

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, April "a, 1876.
On Wednesday last two children OF Mr..
George Il. johnson were crossing Court
street ON Main. They were run into by a
horse and carriage driven by a lady, who,
being near-sighted, did not see the children
until they were knocked down by the horse.
The older one-a girl about twelve years Of
age-was first struck and thrown upon the
little one, thereby protecting the child's life
from the wheels OF the vehicle, which rolled
over them. Both were somewhat bruised,
but no serious injury resulted. Ia

JUST So.-The new postage bill was not
fairly understood by outsiders when it
passed the Senate, says the New York Times.
So we thought and said at the time OF its
passage. 1t is to be hoped that the Times
will "read up" and learn before long that
it does not now fairly understand the case
that has been made out against DAVENPORT
and GRANT. 1t is not very creditable to the
so-called metropolitan press" that it
should be entirely ignorant OF the laws OF
the country, and incapable of telling when
one OF them has been violated.

A question having arisen as to the right
OF the Council to compel the owners OF pro.
perry to pay for paving the sidewalks
wherever and whenever curbstones and
cutters are provided. we copy what the
charter says on the subject:
"Whenever any new street shall be laid
out. q street graded or paved, q culvert
built, or, any other public Improvement
whatsoever MADE, the City Council may de-
termine what portion il any OF the eX-
pcnses thereof ought to be paid from
the public treasury, and what portion
by the owners OF real estate bene-
flied, or may order and direct that
the whole expense be assessed upon the
owners OF real estate benefited thereby.
But no such public Improvement shall DE
made, to be betrayed in whole or IN part oy
q local assessment, until first requested by a
petition signed by at least majority Of the
owners Of property to be assessed for such
Improvement, or unless at least three toatrths
of aNthe Council shall concur in voting any
Improvement to be expedient, or IN deter
mining to make the same after allegations
have been heard, in which case no petition
or request shall be necessary. ."
A singular law certainly. A property
owner who has not petitioned for improve
ments cannot know whether he can be COM
PEELED to pay for them until he finds out
either that the necessary number OF his
ueighbors have asked for them, or that the
Council by the necessary vote has ordered
them to be made in the absence Of such Pc
tition

Registration.

The registration Df voters will commence
to-day. All voters must register. The old
lists have become worthless, and unless the
voter registers again he can vote neither at
the primary election nor at the regular eiec.
tien. The books will be kept open seven
days, ending with Tuesday OF next week.
There are to be more officers elected this
spring in Richmond than have been chosen
here at any election since that OF 1870.
Voting Is an important duty; and register
ing is part OF that duty. We suppose that
it will only be necessary to remind the
voter that the lists are open to ensure his
attention to this matter. 8a

TIE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE OPPOSE
TION-MEMBERS OF RINGS IN CONTROL OF 1T.
From the New York Staats-Zcitnng, May 26.l
The nearer the date OF the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in st. Louis approaches
the more zealously. do the divers politicians
of our State endeavor to spread the impress
sion that Governor Tilden is not the " favor
lite son" OF the Democracy OF our State, or
rather that il he be nominated as a presi-
dental candidate he cannot receive the cleo
torai vote OF New York. The motives from
which these endeavors spring are as mani
fold as the organs through which they find
expression. The real forces OF this anti
Tilden movement are formed from the cor
rllpt rings, wounded to the quick through
his administrative activity. Tammany IN
the east and the canal ring in the west OF
our State were the first to raise the banner
OF discomfort, and to these have Joined
themselves certain worthy persons i'll differ
ent parts OF the State who, partly melted
by jealousy to Tilden's popularity, to which
they believe themselves rightfully entitled,
and partly annoyed by mistakes which Gov
ernor Tidcn neither before nor since his
official elevation has been able to avoid, re-
fuse to recognize him rs entitled to the dis
tinction claimed for him by his friends. =
The opponents Of Governor Tilden strive
arduouSly to conceal the real motives OF
their actions. They seek to crowd into the
background as much as possible the noto-
rious ring allies, and to make it appear that
their position il caused solely by interest
for the Democratic party OF the entire Union,
which might be endangered by the impro-
per support OF a candidate from the State OF
New York. Whoever is clear-sighted and
carefully examines circumstances will dis
cover without difficulty that it is the remains
of divers rings which furnish the stout
soldiers OF the anti-Tilden movement. He
will see that the principal purpose Of their
striying.is not to thwart Tilden's aspira-
tions, but to prevent the reform movement,
the fight against corrupt elements, from be-
ing made prominent plank in the electoral
platform OF the Democrats. The
prospect OF the triumph Of the corrupt ele-
ments OF the Democratic party will not fail
to exert strengthening and quickening in
fiuence upon kindred forces among the Re-
pubhcans.

CONSERVATIVE MEETING IN PRINCE GEORGE
COUNTY, VA. ..-.' ~.
Pursuant to notice the Conservatives or
Templeton district assembled at Lees Mill
on Thursday, May Goth, 1876, to appoint
delegates to the Richmond Convention:
On motion, 3. f. Heath was elected char
man, and DR.. William 3. Daniel appointed
secretary.
The meeting appointed DR.. George L.
Rivcs and Mr.. Il. L. Heath delegates, and
Colonel Williamson Simmons and DR.. Will
liam B. Daniel as alternates.
The meeting was very enthusiastic, ana
the utmost harmony and good feeling pre-
vailed. After discussing the claims of the
various presidential candidates, the meeting,
by unanimous vote, declared Hon. Samuel
J. Tilden its choice. His determined and
persistent opposition to all corrupt political
rings and every species of political corrup--
ton; his avowed advocacy OF reforms and
the correction OF the abuses OF Govern
ment; his sterling worth and ability as 4
statesman, prominently qualify him as the
candidate OF our party.
The secretary was directed to have these
proceedings published; and on motion the
meeting adjourned.

We must again assert this time in reply
to remark in the Petersburg Post-thatt
we have made no remarks In disparasement
Of any OF the prominent Democratic aspi-
rants for the presidency 1t surely cannot
be wrong for us to say that in our opinion
A or 3 Is rnavailable-cannot be elected.
We should not only not dislike TO take
back" such assertions, but we certainly
would never take them back whilst our
mind remains in its present condition. Yet
we could cordially and consistently support
a candidate who could not be elected I'M
less we were mistaken as to his strength.
Bu. we go further. II we knew BAyARD
or HANCOCK to be corrupt, it would be our
duty to expose him., and not only to eS-
pose but to oppose him even after nomina-
ton. The Farmvillc Mercury OF course
cannot support TILDES even after nomTa-

CAUSE OF TIE POSITION TAKEN BY THE
"wORLp mr.. BELMONT FIGURING LAST
WINTER FOR A WESTERN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THAT HIS COURSE ORIGINATES IN FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.
By telegraph 10 Tie Tribunc.I
ALBANY, May 26.-Considerablc discus
sion has cnSlled here among politicians reia-
tive to the WUrtdS course i'll opposition to
Governor Tildcn'S nomination for the presl-
dcncy. One gentleman, recently State Of
fetal and 1T present q Tilden Democrat, but
not in the councils OF the Governor, stated
to knot of politicians at Congress Hall to-
day that during visit at Washington last
winter he found August Belmont figuring
very Zcalollsly among members for the NOM
ination OF some western man, his choice
seeming 20 tend most directly toward Mr..
Hendricks, whose soft-money theories were
freely admitted ut the time. 49,.
The gentleman said tina: it had excited no
suspicion in his mind until, on his return
here recently, he found the World, ostensi-
bly, under the control OF Mr.. Belmont.
making war upon Governor Tilden, and the
impression upon his mind is that Mr.. Bel
mont is operating to defeat the Democratic
party by having an impossible candidate,
under the impression that the bonds would
be put forward and strengthened by Re-
publican victory. lie thinks that the disaf-
fcctcd conference at Judge Parkerfs re-
Gently played unconsciously into Mr..
Belmont's hands, and that he is max
ing tool Of several prominent Demo-
Gratis. The gentlemen who were present at
that conference are said to be very indig-
nant ut the publication Of its proceedings,
and ut least one OF them ex-senator Laning)
has been very outspoken in his belief that
Governor Tilden was the strongest nomi-
nee.
Reference was made in the discussion at
Congress Halt to the action Of the World in
turning against Seymour and Blair in 1868
Mt q very critical moment OF the campaign,
and the present scheme was denounced as 4
part which Mr.. Belmont had played before.
