J Mr.. DANIEL, of Lynchburg, made his first
speecb OF the session OF auy length. He
, nominated Colonel Thomas Carter, cousin
or General Lee. He discussed at length
and with scathing inycciye the combina-
ton existing in the Legislature between the
coloIcd Republicans and the Readi listers.
He denounced in most eloquent words the
: party Of the Readiusters for going before
the people on one issue-to wit, a reduction
OF the interest on The public debt-and then
after their election by negro votes, gotten by
r deceiving them into the BELIEF that they
were not bound to pay any Of The
debt, though enjoying the benefits which
its contraction conferS on the State, at
tempting TO perpetuate their rule by turn
ing out all the tried officers Of the State,
and planting themselves on radical ground
to purchase the cooperation OF the colored
members. He comparedthe party to bar
glsr entering by the back door with skele-
ton-key, and then turning a dark-lantern
upon the contents that he might secure his
pluuter. ..t -

piled, defending his party and turning
count. He defended General Malone and
his party from the attack OF Maior DANIEL.

/ spoils they had won, and the entire morn
! ing was taken UP with the discussion,
which was marked with great ability on
both sides. ,''@
Major DANIEL's speeches were considered
efforts or the highest cIoqaence. q
