oe THE TURF IN ENGLAND. The Racing of the Weck—Havos Among the Aristocracy—Reforma Needed tn Sporting Hluticr—The Betting House Prosecations— Senne Fine Loxvon, July 9, 186 ‘The racing of the week may be very easily dis- posed of, for it was of the most uninteresting aud untmportané character, Meetings were held at Liverpool, Cheimsford and Worcester, but they were all of inferior qnaiity aud cail for little comment, That a¢ the western seaport was once ® great fixture, and the time was when the Liver. poot Summer Cup waa one of the fnest betting fandicaps of the year. It has, however, under Mr. Topham’s manag-ment, dwindled down sadly of late yours, and some Wea of the erate of aflairs may be gathered from the fact that nearly every race during the three days’ sport was won by four or five lengths, and by animals where chances were considered eo good that odds of from 2 to 15 w 1 were bet on them The cup brought out only five second and vhird rate horses and was won by The Spy, four years, the property ot Mr. Bowes, who carried off the Northumberland Plate Jast week, So good was hiv chance considcred after that performance that, though it procured him a penaity of eight pounds, makiag bis weight 115 pounds, 5 to 4 was Inid on him. Captata Gray's Fortunto, five years, 122 pounds, was second and Mr. Moseley’s Sportsman, six years, eighty-six pounds, third. SUBPICIOVE PROCREDINGS OF LORD STAMFORD. The event was cluedy notable for the proceedings tm connection witn The Laird, the properiy of Lord Stamtord, who, looging at his previous perform ances and the weight at which he was handicapped, had evidently a capital chance. His lordship sent a Fpecial message to bis training qaerters to lave the horse brought on to Liverpool, and accordingly ‘rhe Laird made his appearance tn the towa on ‘Tuesday, the race being fixed for the following day. He was taken to the course om Wednesday and was at once heavily backed by the public, who believed they had got @ really “good thing.’’ So they would have nad had he rum, but he did not, for he was “scratched” very shortly before tne race, Jt is sal@—Fhave too much respect for the aristocracy Of these realms to hint such a thing on my own responsioility—that Lord Stamford ‘milked” The Laird and extracted @ good round sum from the pockets of the public by laying againsi the horse, knowing ail the while that he would not rnin. With respect co that to whic I have Just alluded, Joan hardly credit such conduct, however natural in the ordinary blackiegs ot the turf, in his lordship, ‘Dut it Must De Bad bhab 16 looks remarkably queer, the more 80 a8 the reputation of the Lora of Bnville for generous and straightforward policy is not re- wmakably conspicuou RE IN HIGH LIFE, AN ESCLa? While 1 am dealing with the aristocracy I may be ermitted to refer to a member of that illustrious body whom I had occaston to mention last week.

Consequently we can learn nothing more until this day week, when | will in go betore him, and, the case, having bee! submiited, the matter will go to the Judges, Sir Thomas Henry exacted a promise from the defend- ants that until it is formaily decided one way cr another they will suspend business, aud that they are now doiig. ATTEMPTS TO BVADE THE LAW. As it is impossible that a decision can be given within the next nine months, and as It is Blghly Probable that it wiil be against them, the leading commission agents are concocting schemes for car- rying on busines ia such 4 tanner that the Betting act cannot touch them. The profits of their trade Were enormous, and it is natural erough that they should do their best to strive against ruin.

VIRGINIA. Tho Virginia Delegation co Congrese=A New See of Represeutatives—Quite a Mixed Party of Carpet-Baggers and Loyal Virgia- junsA Friend of Ben Butier’s in the Dele- «ation—Brief Sketches of the Congressmen Elect. RioMMOND, July 15, 1869, The delegation elect to Congress from this State is composed of gentlemen who, with one or two ex- ceptions, have never before appeared prominently before the public and consequently of whom but Mitte is known, Aftera gooa deal of tnquiry and search I am enabled to give the readers of the HERALD the following sketches of the delegation, which, however, tn consequence of their very re- cent, and in some cases unexpected, début before the Pabito, fs rather Incomplete. Some of the geatle- men have very interesting records. The delegation is composed of three radicaia and stx conservatives. Richard S, Ayer, radical, elected to Congress from the First or Williamsburg district, is a native of Maine, Nothing is known of his earty history, which seems to be enveloped inacloud, Tue first heard of bim was about the middie of the war, when he joined the army and came to Virginia, He rose to the rank of captain, and by some surewdness and speculatfon amassed’ a considerabie amount of money, which ab io war's close he invested in lands ia Richmond county. During the first stages of re- construction he became an extreme radical, jomed the Uaion ‘ne, and Was afterwurds elected from his county by the negroes to the Constitutional Con- vention, in wh! was comparatively Unnoticed and unknown. His knowledge of ‘partiamentary law was exceedingly limited, but he the good sense and discretion not to make an exhibition of this shortcoming by mixing in debate, He was never known to rise except on two ocea- sions, and then to move to adjoura; and his speeches were mouosyliavic “Aye, nay.” Mr. Ayer was Opposed for Congress by Dr. Norton, negro, who Was decidedly the most popular of the two with the negroes, aud would nave been elec‘ed, but that Segar and Lewis, both of whom ran also, divided Ins vote, which secared Ayér’s election. cris a Yadical of the deepest dye, who will never give his pacty Lag sy oe ut as name will stand at the top of Congressional list he will require to be imbtructed How to vote when it Js called by the clerk. Jamés H. Platte, Jr., radical elected from the Sec- ond, or Norfolk and apie, Shp may ieeeinaea wo * education. ‘Hie facher said to be quite wealcty, and Platee himself 13 reported to be Worth some two or three hundred thougand--fhe wealthiest carpet-hbagger in the State.

When reconstruction began Mr. Pistte was nominated by the negroes of Petersburg and after- wards elecued member of the Consttutional Osaven- tion, where he eximbited, perhaps, more tact and Statesmauship than any repuolicaa member in the body. course there Was liberal, and he distin- oe himseif by & steadfast op} ition to all ue proscripuve measures, This, wever, did not redeem him with the peo} who placed him wander the carpet-l the representative of the ni my fume Mr. Platte became an extreine radical, and to hin due the nomination of Wells at the Convention in March jast, when the split in the party whion ultimately resulted in out Walker as the conservative republican ceneidnle Ne neat. Mr, Pratte was Opposed by the notorious Dr. (negro), over Whom he wes elected by about 4,000 majority. He is considered the only gentieman among ube radicals in point of ‘amily and culture, and his capacay ana talents are acknowledged to be of a good urder. Oharles ff. Porter, radical, elected from tne Third or Ricamond district, was born in New York, and 1s now about twenty eight or thirty years of age. He entered the army 1h 1842 a8 @ private and served in this State for a consideravie period without schier- Ing either distinction or promotion, for he ts exceed- ingly ambitious. The fortunes of war threw Lorter’s command into the Department of che James, then commanded by General B, F. Butler. Here, untori- nately for eitner Mr. Porter of General Butler, the former was found uttering treasopabie tanguage, such a3 sending Oid Abe, the Yankee government, Bea Butler and ali to the infernat regions, in the streets of Norfolk, and saying further that he would rather live under the Jett Davis goveramens it not ailowed todo as he pleased. For these indiacre- tions Porter was ar i, and the matier being brought to the ears of General Butler, he was sen- terteed to alx months’ impriaonment, three of waich he served at the Rip Raps with a ball and chain, and the remaiping three in the trenches at Dutch Gap, When the war was over Mr. Porter remained m Vir- gina, and, having some know! of law, succeeded In procuring the appointment of Commonwealth's Attorney at Norfoik from the military, Me became an active politician but fatied to secure the nominauon from the negroes of Noriolk for the Constituuenal Convention. Nothing daunted, however, he came up to Chesterfield county, where there was then a Jack of “loyalty,” and there succeeded in od elected by the negroes to the convention of 1847, where he made au important figure. tn that body he was the leader of the extreme racicais, aud was prominent in effecting the passage of the proscrip- tive measures of which the constitution was expur- jaied in the late election, Mr. Porter was one of he radicals who left the convention when Generai Butler was introdnced to that body by Judge Under- Wood--the conservati yea, it will be remembered, all leaving at the same iime, His whole aim and am- bition seems to have been directed to Con- ss, it {8 beheved, to meet face to hia ol foe, General Butler, in the national Legistature, and he has been anccessiul after an arduous campaign and a hard fight. Win duiMoulty he procured the nomination from this dis- trict, and was once afterwards near losing it, He prosecuted the canvass against Hunnicutt and Field Cook (colored) with tue most untiring energy, gometimes speaking @ uumber of times each day 10 ditrerent assemblages, and Mr. Porter deserves the credit of coming out boldly in all nis addresses for the disiranchisement, and the exciusion froin oitice of the whites. He no “two faces,’ and scorned to ise bis TER Sentiments, In one of his 8) hes he told the negroes taey might con descend to allow their children to go to the sawo scnool with the children of # certatn class of revels, who were W at favor; but the majority of T bel children were not fit associates for the children of loyal colored men, But jor the fact that Hunni- cut’, Cook and Malfcrd, the conservative candidates boas against tim, which divided that vote tn the district, Porter wouid not have been elected. As (t is his feng afd is smail, and were the election to be had over his prospects wou)d be rained.

He was a steadfast Union Man, and opposed secession with ai! the energy of which he was capable, aud eveu when the ttde of war did come he still maintained his Union sentiments and lived dur. log the storm of desolation and bloodshed that swept over the country, Shortly after the close of the war Mr. booker wes clected to the Legisiature which agsembied im 1860 under Mr, Jounson'’s reconstruction programme. In 1868 he was nominated Attorney General on the Wells ticket, but was thrown overboard by the ultras at the Petersburg Convention tn March, 1869, His thorough reptibitcanism, ability to take the tear oath, and bis consistency, secured hin the nomlua- von of the conservatives in his district, where he tag been elected by @ handsome majority over the radical candidate, Mr. Booker wilt make a go0d ey iy and @ fearless defender of repudtican principies Robert Ridgway, conservative republican, elected tn the Pifth district, is a Hatlvo of Abingdon. ve, and was edncated at Emory and Honry Colle; ey where he graduated with honors, Eary in itfe a] enteed upon the practice of law, and achieved con- gideranle distinction a¢ tie bar, among tac members of which he was noted for his legal attainments, social culture and reduement and tign order of twent.

Progress of the Campaign—Senter Certain to be Electe@=Ne Chance for the “Bald Eagle”—tow Elections Are Carried in Ten- nesaco=Stokes Hegistrars Being Removed and Sénter Men Put In—Estimated Conacr- vative Majority—The Ex-Rebels Quict. KNOXVILLE, July 13, 1869, The monntaina and val'eys of Tennessee resound the giad tidings from Virginia. The iriends of Senter aré reanimated by tne joyful news, while Stokes and his army of difranchisement are disheartened avd dismayed, The latter hear their knell of defeat m the joyous acclaims of the Virginians, erect m the pride of their manhood, free once mor. In the midst of the rejotcings over the victory of the liberals in Virginia came the news that the Supreme Court of Tennessee in session at Brownsvile had aMirmed the right of the Governor to remove and appoint registrars at bis option. This decision virtually settles the result of the campaign. iv means an honest, liberal registration. Tt wil clothe with the franchise thousands of hitherto disfranchiset men, who are legality entitled to-a certificate of registration. Not the least curions end interesting phase of the campaign has been the effort of the Stokes mon to head off Governor Senter in his determination to give the citizens of the State all the benefits to be derived from a fair regts- tration of voters. To prevent the fulfiment of Senter's purpose they had resort to the plan of ob- tainiug injunctions from chanceliors of tie same political faith with themselves. Thus the newly ap- polnted registrars were to be prohibited from the performance of their duties, and it was anticipated that the law's delays would carry the legal question involved over the election, ‘aus giving the old regis- trars the coveted position, and so obtain Jndges and clerks of the elected, appolated by the registrar in each county, who would reject suMcient votes to elect Stokes. Chancelior Smith, of Shelby county, and Chancellor Temple, of Knox county, with undue and unseemly haste granted the injunctions asked for. The newly gistrars were thus re- strained from the performance of their duties, and it Was hoped by the [riends of Stokes that they had euchred Senter. Whether this triumph of the Stokes party woulda not have been ey 9 “aqueiched”’ by the militia if the Supreme Court had not rtunely rendered the decision atladed to, may be by the tone of Brownlow’s semm-ortictat prociamation tn his famous Whig, The Senator, in his old time biutt and stern manner, toll the Stokes men, who con- stder themselves as the “loyalists” pai’ excetience, that Governor Sentet’s rei should not be in. terfered with by “disloyat ” He infocawad them that the militia at present in the field would at once be put under marct- ing orders for Rast Tennessee, to be dis- trated throughout the different counties whicre resistaace Was inade to the law by the unwar- ranted interference of disioyal judges or others. fie said the Governor was determined to sustain bis hewly appointed registrars in their efforts to protect, the loyal voters in the right of suffrage, even if 20,000 millita were required to pus down this “an- holy rebe.lion.”” This Was new language to the radicals of East Teunessee, That they siiould be called “disloval” and threatened with tae militia by Brownlow was a measure beyond their philosophy; and when to this was added the tureatening tone of the conservative press, wuich, in a number of instances, printed the Sedition law, and appiled it to the Stokes men, who were loudly counselling resis:ance to the issuatice of certificates by the new registrars, their amazement was ludierous. Stokes, the “bald eagle,’ has entered Middle Ten- neasce only to find that the resaits juced in East ‘Teanessce bg his serpentme trati—now for the exten- sion of the chive, anon for evernal disfranchise- ment-have been heralded over the State, and he finds the voters of the Middle Division almuat unarimous for Senter. The chairman of the Stokes’ Executive Committes, tor Miidic Tennessee, has come out openly and unequivocally m iavor of the election of Senter, His esample has deen followed by thousands of the republicans, both black and white, of Middie Tenuesaes. At his appointinents Stokes finds that hs opponents compose the bulk of the endiences, Everywhere he sees his fow ad- herents downcast and iearfol, while the friends of Senter are jubdant and confident, The defection of the or of tho negroes, the Maryville Repudican, published m Blount county, the most radical county In Tennessee, writ not tend to soothe the ru(tied feathers of the “bald eagte,’’ ‘That journal has come out boidiy tn favor of the eleceton of Governor Senter, Stokes startet tn this campaign with, as he asserted, 49,000 uegro votes. It was @ good force & start with, but tt caused the white men to array themselves aga est himn, and now it haa gone en nuesae over to Senter. Abw: unre. liabie, he negro vote has proved to Stokes the weak- est kind of @ broken reed. Having wholly failed in the avempt to prevent a fair registration the Stokes party are now endeavor ing to secure the aid of Graat and the adminiatra- tion In their behalf. I learn from perieetiy trust. worthy sources tial the adinimwawration Will not in- toiere In the canvass. Having expressed his saua- facuon with the resuit of the Virginia election Grant cannot consistently avow sympathy wish the Stokes party in Tennessee. Senter's election ts now conceded, His majority 6 varie! estimated, ‘The increased registrauen renders all estimates but eas work, It ts safe to place it At not less taan Soon. Good judges Mrure it as high as 70,000, My own opinion, baseu on a careful examination of the list of registered voters to 186%, as compared witn the adult inaie population, te that Senter will bo elected 4 about 45,000 majority. Senier has re- moved fifty-eight registrars out of eighty four. ‘twenty move will be removed thls week, Thus but six sworn oMicers of registration out of the whole number are considered honest and trustworthy oicers, It will readily be seen that the appomt ment of seventy-erght new, honest and itberal regis. trars Is evidence that former electiona were carried by tbe ru-ticat par y by Trauda ot the grossest de- scription.
