VIRGINIA. Desperate Political Affray in Richmond. WASHINGTON, June 24, 1869, During the progress of registration in Richmond this evening, at the office located within the Mayor’s hall, @ desperate and bloody affray occurred be- tween @ civilian named Kelly and a number of po- licemen, resulting in perhaps mortally wounding Kelly and slightly wounding two of the police. A white man named Peasly and a mulatto named Brant had for some time been engaged in a violent discussion, both claiming that the race to which they respectively belonged should rule the country. A blow was given by one of the parties, when Cap- tain Valaghan, of the police, ordered the arrest of the white man, who insisted that the other party should also be arrested. Kelly, who ts a white challenger, then came forward and took ihe side of Peasly, the white man, and a considerable row might have then taken place but for the opportune appearance of the Chief of Police, Wuo himself arrested both Peasly and rhe mulatto Brant. This act occurred in the Mayor's court room, through a dovrway of which the Chief ot Police disappeared with the two prisoners. Cap- tain Calaghan, who, during the war, was command- ant of Castle Thunder, advanced upon Kelly. ‘Lhe latter receded from him and warned Calagian not to approach lum, as he, Calaghan, was a scalawag m having turned a radical, a perjurer in having taken the tron-clad, and that as soon as the election was over he, Kelly, had the papers then in his pocket that would send Calaghan to the Peniten- tiary. Enraged at this abuse, Calaghan ordered four policeman to arrest Kelly, They seized him and ne resisted with great desperation as he was forced to the doorway Calaghan following. When in the doorway a violent struggle ensued, and as Kelly was heid to the floor by the four policemen and being dragged through it, Calaghan snot him, the ball tak- ing eifect in Kelly’s left shoulder, @ terrible effort the wounded man freed himself and succeeded in gaining possession of one of the policemen’s pis- vols, Which had dropped in the struggle. Calsghan had, however, fired again, his ball ms time passing through Kelly’s abdomen from left to —_ Stag- gering under the double wounds elly dread several shots, two of them taking effect and slightly wounding two of the policemen, before he was again seized and held. A fe crowd of both races now came rushing into the room, at- tracted by the noise of the pistol shots, and but tor the promptness of the police a terrible riot might have ensued. A man in the crowd remarked to Cal- aghan that if Kelly died he was his murderer, to which Caiaghan responded, “I’m not sorry, then, if Tdid kui him.” This is the second time that Cal- aghan and Kelly have had an encounter because of the former's political apostacy. Calaghan has been arrested and Keliy 18 undergoing surgical treatment at the residence of a friend, to which he was re- moved. ‘Lhere are some hopes of his recovery. KENTUCKY.

Chamberlain Renominated for Governor. Bancor, June 2, 1869. The Republican State Convention which asvem- bled here to-day was the largest delegate convention ever convened in this State, nearly every townin the State having a full representation. The convention Was called to order by Hon. J. G. Blaine, chairman of the State Committee, who nominated Hon. Lott M. Morrill, of Augusta, for temporary chairman.

The county de!egations, through their chairmen, reported the members of the Siate Committee for the ensuing year. A committee of one from each county was ap- pointed on resolutions. A like committee was ap- pointed to receive, assort and count the votes. - Ha ing attended to their duty, the comunittee to receiv assort and coupt the votes reported through their chairman, J. D, Stetson, of Lewiston, as follows:— Whole number of ballots, 1,105.) L, Cham- henna had 694; Sidney L. Perham liad 375; scatter- ing, ! On notion of Major T. E.

Ti ird—That we have entire confidence in the national ad- ministration; it is entitled to the confidence of the count its patriotism and integrity and pure motives commend it all good men. ‘Its wise statesmanship has already bec shown, and ita ability will continue to be illustrated. And we rejoice that there hos been placed at its head, and by so general a suilrage, the great chieftain upon whom a grateful republic has ths hastened to conter its highest honors, and to whom by general acclaim it concedes its greatest indebt- edness. Fi ‘arth—Maine has great natural resources and a climate giving vigor to her people; her soil is the best and her foreats are the largest in New England; her frontier upon the oceaa invites to commerce, and no State has greater advantases for shipbuilding or eqnal facilities fo esniully competing tor the carrying trade of the country; ber ample water power waits only to be used to supply the world with fabrics and manufactures, and when her railroads are completed that are now in progress she will have a new vantage ground in the race for growth and prosperity by her nearer proximity to commercial centres and her easier access to the markets of the East and West.

Conservative Republican State Convention Party Organization Effected—The Yergere Oram Murder Trial. JACKSON, June 24, 1869. The Conservative Republican State Convention adjourned last night alter organizing the Union re- publican party of Mississippi, and passing resolu- tions looking to an early restoration of the State government in strict accordance with the recon- struction laws; heogers J forth that the repeated fails ‘ures of all former and existing organizations to re- store the State and meet the requirements of the republican spirit of our institutions, py insisting on measures of proscription far exceeding the provi- sions of the constitution of the United States and the reconstruction acts, have rendered them unworthy “of the respect and confidence of the vovers of Missis- sippi; favoring the proposed fifteenth amendinent; deprecating attempts to impose greater disabiliues than imposed by Congress; pledging unwavering support of General Grant; favoring universal suf frage and universal amnesty on the reconstruction of the State to federal relations, and pledging them~- selves, to urge Congress to remove political disabili- ties inc by participation in the rebellion. The Central Executive Committee was authorized to issue an address to the people, and to cali a State convention to nominate State officers whenever ex- pedient. Entire harmony prevailed. ‘The heavy rains during the past few days have been beneficial to tue crops. ‘The Yerger trial has not yet closed.

Wasnincton, July 24, 1869, Colonel Whitly, chief detective in the service of the United States Treasury, assisted by John Clar- voe, his principal attaché, has made arrests in Ma- ryland, Pennsylvania, New York and several West- ern States of counterfeiters and counterfeit money, plates, presses, dies and other materials. About one dozen men aitogether have been arrested in the last six weeks. The Indiana gang were arrested some days ago, near Fort Wayne, while engaged in mi ing money, and 400,000 counterfeit notes ot twenty. five cent currency were seized, with twelve sets of stee| plates, fifty sets of dies, several presses and a lot of ink and other materials, Solicitor Banfleld has determined to support Colonel Whitly to the fullest extent of the law in breaking up the gan of counterfeiters, whose operations ramify all overthe country. A number of important arrests and seizures lately made will be given to the public in a few days, which will show the complicity of ex- ert counterfeiters equal to anything ever before eard of in this or any other couniry. The twenty. five cent note counterfeit just captured ts a finished imitation, and a targe amount Of it. has beon citen- Jated by the gang. ‘The late arrest of 2 government officer in Western New York who was found to be in complicity with Sims promises developments of great importance to the secret service. It is satd that Sima’ friends expended $20,000 to obtain his pardon several years ago. Mr. George 8. MeCartee, chief of the printing division of the Treasury, has contributed largely to the assistance of the Solicitor tn the efforis made to check the circulation of the new counterfeits aud lead to the suppression of old issues. YACHTING. The Brooklyn Union Regatta—Brilliant Spec- taclemLight Winds a Pretty Race— The Alice, Kate, Onward, Bayonne and Annie Mack the Winners. Fain would the gallant yachtmen have implored the wrath of Juno on their feet, cheered Eolus for launching forth his winds, and praised the goddess for the flerceness of her ire. But the stormy caves were barred, and a glorious spread of canvas was destined Wo flap lazily in a dazzling sun. The array was magnificent, and under more auspicious circumstances the Brooklyn Union Regatta of 1369 would have been an event . hereafter to be recollected with pride, As it was, marred considerably by the most variable weather, the regatta gave unbounded satisfaction and was truly a credit to the club. In yachting the chances of the weather must ever be taken into considerationa— if foul, 80 be it; if fair, then welcome the breeze. As an exnibdition, however, the regatta yesterday sur- passed anything of the kind that has been witnessed for years. ‘The tnterest manifested in the affair wes truly immense, and, apart from the sailing, the display was a brilliant fte worthy of record among those splendid spectacles 02 which one often reads with intense delight. There is certainly not ® more popular yacht club than tue Brookiyn in America, and its members evidently determined to lose nothing of the favorable opinion they had previously created. In fact, every- thing that possibly iay in their power was done to render their annual event as brilliant and agreeable as possible, One important feature characterized the event—the nearty encouragement of yachting and the cordial welcome of strangers. A union regatta must ever tend to the improvement of craft; for the event yesterday, the second of the kind ever given in the United States, will, most assuredly, be attended with the most beneficial results, It was a pity that the wind died out, otherwise the competi- tors would have been more thoroughly tested. But apart from the speculations, apart from everything except that which ultimately concerned the event, it is necessary to picture matters as they were pre- sented. A brighter morning newer shone than yesterday. It was oue of those lovely, blushing, breezy, health- ful, charming ones that lift the heart and relieve the mind. Invigorating in its breath, it naturally sug- gested a brililant prospect forthe race, To be sure Sol shot forth his prancing rays, but their influence was ail the while tempered by a gentle, yet most re- ireshing wind. Light hearts and sentimental heads, lively belles and dainty cavaliers crowded many a pier towards nine o’clock, for steamers were to call for them, and meanwhile they were buoyed up with the most delightful hopes. The steamers arrived, gally decorated with the most variegated bunting, and shipping their tender freight—though, by the way, each boat was crammed respectably—they steered for the scene of action. But the lazy ascent of smoke from many a commerciat chimney—the heediess manner in which it curled into the air—betokened a dearth of the wished-for breeze. Yet away they paddled forth joyously, leaving the din and turmoil of the city far behind, GOWANUS BAY. Surrounded by the most delightful scenery—and Gowanus is a preity place; gazed at through many a telescope and criticised by as many more who had none, the racers lay calm at anchorage. Well indeed might they be still, for towards eleven o’clock and after it they could scarcely have stirred for a golden prize, the wind naving taken its leave, while its old competitor the sun did his duty in masterly style. It was simply broiling, and excessively good at that, ‘Tne judge’s boat started from a pier off the club house and went forth to marshal the fleet. There was some dificuity attac'1ed to that duty, inasmuch as (be yachts had not yet got into line, and the wind being nowhere there seemed but littie probability of getting them into order. Some went floating about here and there at the slowest possible speed, evi- dentiy bent upon attracting attention, particularly the small sloops which could do brilliant deeds in a calm. Messrs. M. M. Van Dyke, J. H. Lewis, F. P. Bun- ker, J. B. Matiory and Alonzo Siote were the judges, the first mentioned gentieman being chairman and a judicious director of the arrangements. Tae regatta committee consisted of Messrs G, L. Haight, W. H. Pegg, Edwin Hillyer, John Jones and John M. Sawyer, with Mr. William 1, Lee secretary. Mr. Sawyer, to whom was entrusted the very arduous duty of getting the yachts in line, dashed out in a smail boat, and after no jittle trouble successfully managed to place them in excellent order, ARRIVAL OF SPECTATORS. There was no mistaking the approach of a brilant assemblage. Not that the sparkling airs from the French operas would in themselves mani- fest that fact, byt the coming of a bright and picturesque throng—a_ perfect congregation of simies—became evident by the waving of the most delicate and snowy cambrics, From several points of observation the Visitors approach- ed, heralded by the most enchanting airs, which sounded charmingly over the placid sea. Ata dis- tance the steamers appeared as dark masses, their blackness being relieved by the froth on the water, but ir nearer approaca completely changed the aspect of affairs. The sweet strains sooa became recognizable, and the gay and picturesque costumes of the fair freight, tue stylish panorama of hundreds, the flannel coat, the blue jacket with brass buttons and the hundred other nautical emblems everywhere to be seen heiped to form a scene worthy of reco! lection. The place resounded with the most popular music, gay streamers floated in the air, the crowds gathered from all quarters on tne water and the event Was awaited with pleasure APPEARANCE OF THE Some yachts lay close together; others, with an eye to pustness, kept aloof from all connection, and merely awaited the signal to depart, Heve and there men Were seen running up and down the decks, some on the bowsprit and others again aloft. It was a busy time. Yet now and then an anxtous look was cast towards the judges’ boat, as if those on board were to blame for the delay. It was neariy twelve o'clock, and not a breath of wind stirring. Clever men, in theie own opinion, prognosticated that there would be no race, but the nautical judi- ciary thonght otherwise, and wisely awaited the favors of good old Neptune, Who was apparently doziug the entire morning. THE COURSE. The course was froma stukeboat off the club house at Gowanus bay to and around # stakepoat off the Southwest Spit, turning it from east to west; thence to hone stakeboat, passing the same to the west- ward, the yachts being obliged to pass eastward of all buoys on West Bank and to keep westward of Fort Lalayette both going and returning. ‘The course was the same for the prizes of the Brooklyn Union regatta, as weil as for those of the club itself. The distance Was sufficiently long for all yachts com- petiog. THE ENTRIES. Although there were no less than forty-five en tries, but the following thirty-seven yachts appeared in line:— SCHOONER. Sa. It Of Nan. Yacht Gin. Canvas, -Brookiyn. 2 Niagara Qui Vive onward... : White Cap...... THIRD DIVISIC Fiying Cloud . Brooklyn. Ida... . Brooklyn Bayonne « - Bayonne Muskodeed. . Brooklyn . Selene. Gracte Blue Bel Bertha THE START. According to the regulations the schooners and first division of the sloop class took positious as they arrived, about 100 yards apart, in the line marked out by the stakeboats east and west. The second and third divisions were anchored 200 yards to the northward of the above, in the same order, and the fourth division, open stoops, were placed to the northward of the second and third classes. The judges del ed the signal as long as possible, there being no wind to effect the departure of the yachts, but a slight breeze springing up from the south they judiciously availed themselves of the oppor- tunity and ordered the first gun to get ready at thirty-five minutes past twelve o'clock. The greatest activity was exhibited on board the yachts, and the helin of each was grasped by & firm and ready hand, while the men were likewise on the tiptoe Of expectation. AG hail-past twelve je gun boomed forth and the two schooners and first divi- sion sloops were speedily under way. Three min- utes after the second and third received a similar notification, and at thirty-five minutes past twelve the fourth division was on the wing, The start was @ beautiful one and splendidly cifected, while the spectacle was brilliant and truly enlivening. In- deed, @ more lovely exhibition never quitted Gowanus . Gliding through the calm and placid “ waters the ficet stole gentty, the snow white sails of the craft looking extremely bright in the rays of the burn! sun, The display evoked the universal approbation of all the spec. tators, and the yacnts, clustered togetuer, leit their anchorage amid’a storm of cheers, ‘The start was a grand pageant, never to be forgotten. As aiready mentioned, the breeze was extremely siight and the yachts worked their way out ia almost drifting style. A few minutes afier the start, however, the wind luckily increased in foree and the grand Union regatta was begua. THE RACE. With commendaoie dexterity the Gracie shot out in front in an easy and graceful style, with every inch of canvas spread, followed by the Madeline not far behind, The Lois also displayed some activity in getting off and going in the wake of the Madetine. Beiund ber came the Pysche and the Kate, the latter making rapid progress on her way out, Tue schooner Alice Was somewhat tn the rear of her opponent, the Lois, aud was evidently not doing much to catch her, owing to the light wind which prevatied. Next came the Qui Vive in lively style, Onward, Mus- Kodeed, R. Keliy, Cyrene, Agnes, White Cap, Nia- gara, Blue Beil, Flyaway, Coquette, Wanderer, Hvop La, Clio, Sophia, Apollo, Annie Mack, Bayonne, Phantom and others, The sight was certainly one of the most beautiful that could be witnessed, The wind lauied round to the southwest and the Gracie imereasing her speed quickly shot ahead, closely pursued by the Madeiine, the Kate and the Lois bringing up the rear of the foremost rank. The Onward and Agnes Kept close together, but shortly after parted company. ‘Then there appeared rapidly coming up the White Cap, Cyrene, Qui Vive, KR. Kelly, Anna, Selene, Flying cioud, Blue Bell, Apollo, Mary, Emma ‘t., Annie Mack, Phantom, Favorita, Coquette, Wanderer, Fly- away and others. Ln this order they proceeded ror # mile or 80, the positions varymg very siightly, with the exception of the iucrease rapidiy beimg made by the Gracie. AT BAY RIDGE, mottonies3 almost as the tombs in Greenwood, the Gark Loliage of which conceaied the headstones, the yachts lay becalmed, and the bright hopes of aa ex- citing race were suddenly abandoned. for fully ten or fifteen minutes the fleet stood suil. But the feel. ing akin to disappointment was quickly exchanged for one of pleasure, for the wind again spruug up, and once more the pretty contestants scudded away. The-Gracite evidentiy caught 1 first and rushed to the front, the Madeline stu! a short distance inthe rear, All the sloops carried their fall salis, the two schooncrs having set their foresaiis, topsatis, tying jibs, jib topsails, staysails and gaif topsails. The sinall yachts went along nicely m the light breeze, while the scaooner Lois appeared to be losing no ground whatever. The Alice, however, appeared to be not so well favored by the breeze, and her progress was, therefore, not very rapid. THROUGH THE NARROWS. The Gracie tacked straight towards Fort Rich- mond, atid being now considerably abead turned about before the others had commeiaced to tack at all. She was nevertheiess hotly pursued by tne Madeline, Kate and _ others. ‘The Lois kept more closely into shore and made towards the New York Club House. She was tollowea by the Kate, rapidly gaining upon her, the Muskodeed, White Cap, Onward, Niagara and the Bayonne, the last Mentioned scudaing along in spiendid style, not far behind, the Selene, Gracie (third division), Mary and the Agnes coming up gracefully. Atlength the breeze appeared to strike the Alice, and her canvas began to till with good results, ‘fhe Qui Vive was quite lively, and was close on the stern of the fore- most yachts when passing the fori. The Selene was the next in order, and then came the Agnes, the Anna, Mary, and next the White Cap, Selene, Flying Cloud, Ida, Restless and a tew others close together. The Muskodeed and Gracie (third) had quite a lively brush aoe through the Nar- rows. The Qui Vive lea the White Cap a littie, but there was a ptospect of a good struggle between them, There was a very rapid change of positions among the small sloops coming through which created great interest and excitement, THE SOUTHWEST SPIT. There was quite an interesting contest between the Narrows and the Southwest Spit, for the breeze was now pretty fresh. The Gracie was over two miles ahead of all, the Madeline still in her wake and the others, with a few changes, in the order already mentioned. The Madeline tacked very near the Coney Island shore and evidently lost consider- ably on her approach to the stake. Meanwhile tne Alice had made excellent way aud was rapidly over- hauling the Lois, which, however, was coming on remarkably well. Within a couple of mites of the Southwest Spit the wind died out, and the scene en- suing would have been exceedingly imonotonous and distressing but for the congregation of gary decorated steamers, whose lively music and fashion- able throng, the waving of hats and the interchange of kindly expressions. There certatniy appeared to be intense enjoyment everywhere, and the occasion at this point was, therefore, merry in the extreme. ‘The yachts crawled slowly along, as if they aad all pleaded guilty to an indictment. They crept around, and the following was the order im which they turned:— M.S. Gracie. 43° 00 White 43 00 -Clio. 44 00 at 45 00 nie Ma 46 00 Bayonne. 62 OL Mary. 53 00 Onward 53. 00 The foilo 180 passed In succession Immediately afterward jagara, Soplua, Wanderer, Cyrene, Restless, which was delayed considerably in turn- ing the stakeboat; Phantom, Apollo, Gracie (third division), Annie, Nellie G, ums T., Blue Bell, Co- quette, Selene, Pysche, R. Kelly, Flying Cloud and others not taken. HOMEWARD BOUND. After turning the stakeboat the wind freshened somewhat and the racers sped their course towards home. The Gracie still kept the lead, while the Alice and Lous were for some time almost beam and beam. Slightiy in advance of the Alice, the Clio went gaily along, while the Annie Mack led the latter. The Qut Vive was by no means behind, and bent right to her work with a will, followimg in the wake of the ida, the Madeline next and the others coming up. ‘The Alice at length overhauled the Lois slightly, while several other changes In position took place. Atter an interesting contest towards the home stakeboat the following was the order in which the yachts ar- rived:— Gracie. Madeline... White Cap. Phantom Elipse .. Cyrene . Nellie G.. ‘he pproaching the ly lightiul, but the race was deprived of the excitement that otherwise might have been attached to it, owing to the wind dying out. Accordiag to the allowance of time the judge awarded the first prize to the Alice, the second to the Kate, the third to the Onward, the fourth to the Bayonne and the fifth to Annie k. Beyond question the Gracie was manned and sailed ‘as any good yacht shold be, and, vut for the heavy allowance she was obliged to make, would have easily carried Loy f the honors, Alto- gether, the regatta was a most brilliant affatr, retlec- log great credit upon the Brooklyn Yach Club, whose arrangements throughout were bighly com- mendabie. Several yacht clubs were represented. Among their members inthe committee boat were ex-Commodore Gunther, Rear Commodore Harrison and Mr. Maliery and Mr Elisworth, ot ihe Bayonne Yacht Club, whose annual regatta takes place on the 15th of July. The lone Ciub was represented by Mr. Terry, Mr. P. McLoughlin and others. The other steamboats had likewise many representative oficera. In fine, the adair was brilliant and afforded the utmost friitcation to all, and but tor the ap- sence of suficient wind would have proved perhaps the most interesting regatia of the year. VISIT OF THE FORTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT TO NEW HAVEN. New HAVEN, Ct., June 24, 1869, Yesterday a battalion of the Forty-seventh regi ment, New York State National Guard, of Brooklyn, E. D., favored this city with a visit and met witha very hearty and cordial welcome. Their coming had been looked forward to with pleasant anticipa- tion by a large number of the citizens, especially those connected with the city military organiza- tions, and their arrival was the signal of earnest and courteons endeavors to render their brief stay in the City of Elms one to be remembered with gen- uine pleasure, The battalion arrived, on board the steamer State of Maine, at five o'clock in the morn- ing, having left New York atten o’clock on the pre- vious evening. It consistea of four companies, under command of Major Rogers, numbering about 126 men, At six o'clock the New Haven Grays, one of the crack companies of the commonwealth, under the command of Captain Howarth, together with the officers of the Second regiment Connecticut National Guard, marched down to the steamer and received the battalion in the usual military manner. After an interchange of greetings the line was formed and marched up Chapel street in the follow- ing order:—Felsburg’s band; New Haven Grays; officers of the Second regiment; Forty-seventh drum corps and band; battalion of the Forty-seventh regi- ment. They marched first to the armory of the National Biues, where the visiting soldiery received the welcomes of the members of the Bines. Then they marched down to the armory of the Grays, where they were served with a collation. From the armory they went to the Tontine Hotel and sat down to one of ine host Bradby's best breakfasts, This refresting meai hayiug received due attention. aoc — 7 the forenoon waa very agreeably apent in ex! the city and admiring its beauties, im Boome 5 members of the city militia, who great pea in ing a8 guides.

G. They met with a cordial reception from General Merwin, who immediately induced them to seat themselves around a table, in an adjoining room, laden with @ tempt array of refreshments, to which amid @ gental flow of conversation they addressed them- selves. There were no speeches, but only a very pleasant hour of social intercourse. ' At noon the battalion took dinner at the Tonttae, and at three o'clock they assembled on the Green for review and parade. Their appearance was BO sooner made than hundreds of peopie flocked to the Green, and the city began to assume a holiday ap- pearance. ‘The other city companies soon arrived upon the Green, and at four o'clock a review of the whois line was made by Colonel Basserman and staff, of the Second regiment; Gensral Meserole, of the Forty-seventh, and the Common Council of New Haven. At this time a very beautifal scene was presented, with several thousand people forming. @ many and gay colored cordon around the moving columns marching by in review beneath tue graceful elms, the band, playing one of the gems of the “Grand Duchess,” and the many soldier forms stepping to the music upon the green sward formed a picture at once spirited and interesting. ‘The review over, the line then marched over a route of about three miles in length, through the principal streets of the city, moving in the foliowing order:— Coione! Basserman and staff; Felsburg’s band; Sars- fielt Guard, Captain Keefe; Monreoriery éaard, Captain O'Brien; Light Guard, Captain Smith: 0. OG. J. Cadets; Governor's Foot Guard, Captain Pitle; New Haven Greys, Captain Howarth; Forty-seventh band and drum corps; battalion of the Forty-seventtr regument N. Y. 8. N. G., under Major Rogers. Throughout the entire line of march thousands of men and women thronged the walks and fiiled the windows and doorways, and upon the approach of the battalion of the Forty-sev- enth regiment they gave them an entiu- siastic welcome with waving handkerchiefs and pleasant smiles. At the Wooster square cuurch, alter marching by Major General Russell’s residence and giving him @ marching salute, was met a large bevy of young ladies, who paid the Forty-seventh mena hearty ovation. The line arrived on the Green about six o’clock, when a dress parade took place in the presence of a large assembiage of citt- zens. All over the city were displayed the national flag and other evidences of interest in the occasion. Aiter the dress parade the line was dismissed, and the Forty-seventh men took tea at the hotel, and in. the evening, upon invitation, they attended a straw- berry festival at the Wooster square Baptist church, and were bountifully served. About eleven o’ciock they were escorted to the boat, and left, amid the cheers of their many new made friends whom they leit behind. We should add that accompanying the Forty-seventh were Brigadier Genel eserole, Colonel D. E. Austin, Captain Vandewater and quite a number of honorary members of the regt- ment, wearing biue badges. This city has favored by the visit of several of the New York regt- ments; but the universal verdict seems to be that none have received or were entitled to a heartier welcome, and none have appeared more creditably- “They made a most excellent impression here by their handsome appearance and courteous bearing, and aii accord to them the-honor of having none in their ranks yesterday but thorough soldiers and accomplished gentlemen. Usury Laws.—The usury laws of several of the States are in process of revision. The new law in New Hampshire provides that the lender may re- ceive interest as igh as nine per cent, by special contract, the legal rate remaining at six per cent unless otherwise specified. The Usury bill now pending in the Connecticut Legislature 1s substan- tially a copy of the Massachusetts law, providing that six per cent shall continue to be- the legal rate where no rate is mentioned, but that borrowers and lenders may agree in writing to any other. The House hesitates to interfere with the anctent usages of the State in this respect, but its hesitation will hardly affect the practice of business men, who have settied this question for themselves in spite of usage ana law together,—Bosion Advertiser, June 24.
