COLORED REPUBLICANS.
Reported for the Gazette

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, June 30
The colored republican conference of
Virginia met here to-day. 1t was
largely attended, eight districts out of
the ten being represented.
VIM. A. Merchant, of Lynchburg,
was chosen temporary chairman and
Magnus L. Robinson, of Alexandria.
was elected secretary.
Chairman Merchant stated that the
object of the conference was to bring
about due recognition to the men who
make up the republican party of Vir.
ginia. He counseled harmony and &C
ton to move on the fort of republican
oppression and take it.
Robert Cox, of Lynchburg, was made
permanent chairman.
Thomas L. Jones, of the 4th district,
made the speech of the convention.
He lashed the white republican regime
for the appropriation of every Office
within the gift of the federal govern
ment for themselves and friends. He
said it was time for colored republicans
to stop nominating men for Congress
men and State chairman only to slide
themselves in the offices OF the federal
government. He advised the colored
republicans to stand as a solid phalanx
against the injustice done them. With
q vote of 1875, 900 can't the colored re-
publicans deal with 10000 white repub
licans? He said the administration has
been hoodwinked and it must be shown
to the President who constitutes the re-
publican party of Virginia.
Jake Farwell, of Nelson county, said
the republican party Of Virginia of to-
day is Differed by men who want the
offices, and they have got 'em, and
want the negro to stand back; and they
keep 'em behind.
After other speeches the following
colored republicans were named as suit
able persons, to be voted for as Con-
gressional candidates: First district, F.
D. Lee; Fourth district, Thomas L.
Jores; Sixth district, Stewart NJ. Lewis;
Eighth district, Magnus l.. Robinson.
A resolution was passed unanimously
endorsing the above candidates as the
acknowledgements of the convention and
q committee was appointed to name
candidates for the other districts.
The convention adjourned to hold a
mass meeting at night, which was
large one and was addressed by Thos.
L. Jones, Coles, Lee and others.

A MAN was recently tried and
convicted in England on the charge OF
cruelty to his children, not because he
had hurt or harmed them physically in
any way, but on the ground that be
had inflicted mental suffering upon
them by being drunk for months at a
time. Though curious, that was
good way by which to bring him TO
punishment, and that he merited it, is
recognized by every one who has suffer
ed from such cruelty or been q witness
of it. There is no sane man, when so

liquor if he chooses 10 do so, and, if he

PEACE in the republican party Of
Virginia has been restored by Senator
Hanna, the commander-in.chief of the
republican party of the whole country,
but it is like the peace that reigned 10
Warsaw. The kickers have been de-
stroyed, and every thing that the regu
lar organization demanded, been recog
nized as right and proper. Mr.. Hanna
believes in political discipline, and
therefore is successful politician.

The NEW LAws.-Much of the most
important legislation enacted by the
General Assembly OF Virginia at its ses.
sion last winter goes into effect to-day.
Such is the case with the various re-
trenchment measures adopted. The
salaries of most of the State officers will
be reduced from to-day. The auditor
of public accounts will dispense with
two clerks, the treasurer with one, the
second auditor with one, and the forces
retained will suffer cuts in their salar.
les. The law placing stricter limita-
tons around the sale Of oleomargsrine
also goes into effect to-day. The pen
atty imposed for its violation is very
heavy. But the most interesting of all
the acts which 60 into effect to-day is
the Wharton insurance law, designed
TO break up the Southwestern Tariff
Association. This act will be fought in
the courts even more vigorously than it
was in the General Assembly. The
test, however, will not be made until
next January, when the agents are re-
quired to make oath that they are not
members of any combination that regu-
lates rates. The anti-trading stamp
act becomes operative to-day and as far
as is known it will be obeyed. The
States appropriation to keep up the de-
partment of agriculture also ceases and
the department. will be supported by
the fees from the inspection of fertil-
izers. An important change is that re-
ducing the fees allowed jailors for the
maintenance OF prisoners. This is ex-
pected to effect very considerable saw

THE republican committee of Mary
llnd, contrary to expectation, did not
elect Senator Wellington to be their
chairman, but they failed to do so only
by four votes out of one hundred and
fourteen, and that too, though Mr.. Wei
liugton had openly declared his oppo-
sition to the Administrations course Oh
the subject of the Spanish war, and his
willingness to close that war at once.
The war, like the Cleveland craze, will
have its day, and then sound sense will
resume its sway.

THE SICKNESS naturally incident to
unacclimated people in tropical coun-
tries is beginning to manifest itself in
the American army on the island of
Cuba, and already the hospital accom-
modations there are being taxed 10
their full capacity. Unless Spanish
bullets be more fatal in the near future
than some people in this country APP
parently expect them to be, Americans
10 cuba will suffer greater loss from
disease than from any other cause.
Psstilence is one of the legitimate con-
sequences of war, even in temperate,
let alone in torrid climate.

Mr.. Cleary, of the committee OF
banking and currency, who presented
the recent report upon the banking and
currency bill, arose to-day in the House
to question of personal privilege, read
ing from Washington paper in which
the committee was charged with pla.
giarism in taking much of its report
from the June number of the Journal of
Banking. He denied the charge, eX
planning that synopsis of the report,
constituting quite small part of the
entire report, had been prepared by the
monetary commission and had been in
corporated in the report in order TO
make it frankable and also because it
covered completely the ground
of the full report. Pending the
printing of the report, the synopsis was
furnished by the monetary commission
to the Journal of Banking. Mr.. Nc
Cleary referred in severe terms to his
colleague on the committee, Mr.. Fow-
Ter, who had, he asserted, charged de-
liberate plagiarism. Mr.. Fowler was
not in attendance. Mr.. McCleary said
most committees reports were prepared
in the same way.
A few bills of minor Importance were
passed and at 1850 the House recessed
to o'clock, there being a general in.
disposition to do business and it being
necessary to await the enrolment of
appropriation bills before adjournment.
Before recess the House agreed to
