Stuart, in which the latter paper states
that President Grant threw every obsta-
Gle in the way of Virginia's restoration I'M

says:
IT is a matter of fact that the Consti-
tuition Of Virginia as it came from the
hands of the Underwood Convention con-
tanned provision imposing the iron-clad
oath upon all State officers land we are not
sure all voters were not included). Ii also
provided for q most abominable county
court system. and had other highly objec-
tionnble features. General Grant gave us
permission to vote out these bad features
and ct the same time ratify 50 much of the
Constitution as was tolerable. He also
treated the famous Committee Of Nine with
all due courtesy. Such is our recollection
OF the faets.p
The Dispatch is right in its recollection Of
the matter, There were, we think, six OBJ
jeetionable features to the Underwood
Constitution, which, through Grants in
strumentality, the people Of Virginia were
permitted TO vote upon separately, all OF
which were rejected, while the main In.
strument was ratified, and as soon as the
result was ascerteined Mr.. Raleigh II.

Mr.. John w. Fisher, collector of Gus
toms for the port of Richmond, yesterday
received communication from the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury directing him to seize
the steamer David Reeves for violating the
law regulating the carrying Of passengers.
In compliance with the order one OF the
inspectors went down to Rockets and
seized the vessel. which will be held sub
iect to further orders from the same source.
The offence that is alleged 10 have been
committed consisted of the steamer carry
ing workmen from Newport News to the
light-house-a run of about twenty MIN
utes-every night and morning while
work was in progress, she having license
only to carry freight. ,
The penalty prescribed for violation of
the statute is $500.
The seizure was ordered upon the pre-
sentiment of the Inspector at Newport
News, to whom the captain of the Reeves
made application for permission 70 carry
the men, pending an answer TO which the
alleged violation occurred.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. p. l.. Conquest

Fatal Outcome of Wager Between Two
Drunken Frsnchmen.
Paris correspondence Of the London Timesl
To wound a man mortally because he
bet a penny that a friend who had a re-
revolver in his hand would not fire at him
is about the most incOnceivable proceed
inc that could we'll be imagined. 1t was a
case of horseplay after a conviYial meet
inc. The two young men-both belonging
TO the working classes-were enjoying
themselves in a danclng-saloOn, when one
of them tried TO snatch a cigarette from his
companions mouth. The latter, named
Baratte, took a revolver out of his pocket.
lyon won't FIRE at mel" exclaimed his
comrade, Weinachter. Dlsregarding this
challenge Baratte put the pistol back into
his pocket, and 1t is unluckY that he did
not keep it there.
Unfortunately Weinachter returned to
the subject, and finally offered to bet him
two sous that he would not fire at him. A
crowd had collected round the couple IN the
dancing-salOon, and soon, followed by a
number OF on-lOokers, the friends were
vending their way to the street. Baratte
fred once without effect, and declared at
the trial, which has Just taken place, that
he took no aim at all. Weinachter, how
ever, was not satisfied, and told HIM TO fire
again. and to aim at INN, or he would for
| felt the penny. Stung by his taunts, Ba-
rate exclaimed: you think that I am
afraidl Come behind the church," They
proceeded TO a retired spot and there Ba-
rate fred again, his bullet inhicting so
serious a wound that his comrade expired
in the hospital few days afterward with
out having been able to give any account
OF the affair.
According to Baratte's version he was
about TO discharge his weapon once more
| in the air when Weinachter seized him by
the arm, pointing the weapon in his own
direction. As all the eye-witnesses of the
scene had disappeared the prisoners evil
dence only could be taken, but it was con-
| tended by the prosecution that Baratte
had aimed deliberately at the dead man,
and he was sentenced finally to five years
| imprisOnment.
