His brother and young Dougias, the President's private secretary, ave arrived in Richmond to work for his election, Tt will not be at all wonderful if he is one of Vir- ginia’s Senators.

The crowd called loudly for him, and, in response, he addressed them briefly, stating the day was near at hand when Virginia would be restored to her oid position in the sisterhood of States; three months would not expire before her ailairs would be con- trolled by those elected by the people, and ho rejoiced in the triumph over vandalism, treachery and fraud, He pictured a glorious future of happi ness and prosperity, and said tbat not only the ma- terial advancement but the yery life of Virginia had depended on the success of the people and on his success in the jate contest, He appealed to the young men to work at the plough, cultivate the iarm and to obtain honest and intelligent labor, #8 past results 01 «gg frend {ulrs Was wnticipated y the Governor, and, pledging himself to Virginia’s prosperity im future, he retired amid great applause, MARYLAND, Incendiary Fire in Baltimore=Loss 106,060.

Employes of the Treasury Department Suing for Their Twenty Per Cont. Speculation Among the Wa- tional Banks. - Wasainaron, Oct. 14, 1859. Vacillating Course of Secretary Fish Toward the Cuban Revolutionista. It appears now that Secretary Fish has been act- ing towards the Cabana to some extent after the manner in which the witches did towards Macbeth keeping the word ot promise to the ear and breaking itto the hope. When the Cubans approached him on the question of recognizing them as belligerents he saki they must first get a capital,a fixed place for their government. They afterwards went to Lim and sald they had complied with hig request, and again urged iécognition. Visi tola them that the capital was very well, but they must get a constitu- ton, Eager to comply with every reasonable require- ment, & constitution was drawn up and adopted, and in due time Mr, Fish was informed of the fact, “That is very good,” said Mr, Fish; “but you must get possession of some of the ports of Cuba and build some ships.” The Hornet or Cuba was pur- chased and put to sea as a compliance with the last part of the request, and with a view of acquiesctng in due time in the second. Now Mr. Fish complains that the Cubans are violating the neutrality laws, The Cubans begin to think that Mr. Fish is not in earnest and that he wants them to make brick with- out straw; in other words, when they have driven the Spaniards from the island of Cubs and achioved their independence he will probably recognaze them. Some of them are doubtful, however, whether ha will not even then require that they shall first go over and subjugate Spain before they are recognized by the United States, General Canby’ Report on the Virginiu Election, Soon after the Virginia election General Canby instituted investigations in the different counties of the State where it was complained that the election was not conducted fairly, for the purpose of ascer- taining whether fraud nad been committed or intimi- dation used. The work was assigned to what ts known as the district commanders, and they were furnished with a form of questions to be put to par- es making complaints. The district commanders met at the county seata of those counties where the alleged frauds were committed and heard testimony on both sides, after which they reported the result to General Canby, In this way neariy every com- plaint has been investigated, and it is under- stood General Canby will embody the whole matter in a report to the President, through the Secretary of War. This report will probably be transmitted to Congress for its information, Mill. tary officers who nave been engaged in this duty say Canby’s report, will show that the election was one of the fairest ever held, and that there was leas fraud and fewer attempts at intimidation than is common at almost every election in the Northern States, The charges of fraud were preferred chiefly by the Wells men or radicals; but when put upon oath and closely questioned they were unable to substantiate them, As the only hope of the radt- cals In having the election set aside by Congress and the State kept out was thetr ability to prove im- mense frauds and iniimidation tt 1s thought that the report of General Canby will completely defeat their scheme, Fraudulont Loans of National feiture of Charter. Acase has ‘been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United Staiecs from the United States District Court of Maryland, which, it is believed, will have an importaut bearing on the national banks. ‘The suspicion has become general that many Of theso banks have forfeited their char- ters by violating some of the most tmportant provisions of the National Banking act. In the course of the trial of the case in question, tt became evident—in fact, 1t was admitved that three of the principal nattonal banks of Baltimore bad been guilty of a direct violation of the twenty-ninth section of the act of Congress. That section provides that the total abilities to any national banking association of any person, or of any company, corporation or firm, for money borrowed, including in the la- bilities of the several members thereof, shall at no time exceed one-tenth part of the amount of the capital stock of such association actually paid; in other words, the banks are not per- mitted to loan more than ten per cent of their paid in capitalon any coudiilon whatever. li appears, however, that these Baltimore banks have been loan- ing as high as eighty per cent of their capital, and this for purposes of stock speculation. When the National Banking bill was duder consideration in Congress this twenty-ninth section was termed the “democratic section,” and, as stated by the laio Senafor Vesséhden, was inserted for the express purpose of preventing the bauks from loaning thelr tunds for speculative purposes, and thereby discrimi- nating against the commercial interesta of the country to advance the interests of mere specula- tors, tis believed that nearly all banks ip the large cities, if their affairs were investigated, would be found to have violated the act of Congress under which they hold their charters in the same mauuer a8 the Baltimore banks.

Property of this piainuuit was seized to Batisfy the tax, and these actions are brought to recover damages for such seizures and sale. The cases passed through the State courts, aad finally the Supreme Court of the State aMrmed the validity of the ordinance of the city and the law of the State and sustained the authority exercised by tue Col- lector, The court tn eflect decided, as here cor- tended, that a citizen of New York or Ohio cannot send to Mobile, Ala., his merchandise or manutac- tures to be sold for his account by his agent at auction or private sale in the state and condition tn which he prefers it for the market without incurring a charge for taxes by the State and municipal authorities at Mobile. ‘This decision, it is im sisted, is in contravention of those provisions of the constitution which declare that ‘Congress shall have pore to regulate commerce among the séyergt tps. and “ng Rtale 04 levy aby imposts or duties oh Imports of éXports.” ‘The theory of the constitution, 1t is submitted, 13 plain; and these taxes can no more be legally exacted that Louisiana or Alabama could require a tux on eaci vale of cotton recelyed from Mississippi and other cotton growing States for exportauion trough their ports, New York, it is said, ia the great exporting port of the country, but is it competent for that State to demand a tax on each article received for sale or exportation from otier States, in the hands of the merctanta recetviug them, or to demand a tax upon the gross proceed of sale, the sale is made? The statement ot the question is believed to furnisit its own answer. ‘he defendauis supmit the following propositions substantially:—Goods brought mto a State from another State of the Union are not imports in the constitutional sense, and if they were, tax upon ali sales of goods within the State 1s not a tax on imports, Goods imported from foreign countries are Subject to State taxation tu te hands of the purchaser, whether in the orrgmal package or not, Goods thus purchased froin the importer are not again entitled to exemption from | State taxation py being carried from one state to another, Though the acts in question may agect the yeguiation Of commerce their tavalidity can only be maintained by showing @ direct repognance to some act of Congress, P.

THE LOVISV! Halt in LLB COMMERCIAL CONVENTION. Report of the Committees on Tmmigration Causes of Northern Prosperity=-Encourages ment of Emigration to the Southern States— Commodore Maury Recomuiended for Genes ral Agent of Immigration, LOUISVILLE, Oct. 14, 1869, The Convention session was opened at half-past- twelve P.M. James W. Gasley, of Virginia, chair man of the Committee on Immigration, subinitted a roport which was adopted after some discussion, The following 13 a synopsis of the report:—It says that the population of the whole country was according to the first census, in 1700, very nearly equally divided between the North and the South. According to the census of 1860 the population of the two sections was, North, 10,900,182; South, 12,048,149, This shows that of the emigréuts and thelr descendants who had come into the country daring the seventy years from 1799 to 15690, and were then liviog, 7,321,053 more had settled tm the Nori than bad settied m the South. According to eatinvates Made every foreign tinmigrant ) Sete tlea m the country adds 9 to tne national wealtn:; but to be clearly wv in the imits your committee will assume it to be g500 por head. The industrial capiial of the Nortit over and above the Sour from fmmigra- tion aloue hag thus been increased by this enormous sum. The North has ouistripped the South tn the stragyle for mineral wealth. ‘The object of your committee 1s to devise meaus which may enadie the South to participate in the advantages of immigration. Most, if not ail, of the Southern Siates since tie war have adopted measures for tue encour. agement of foreign immigration, These weasures have not been attended with much success, The emigrating class of Europe 18 wholly uninformed wiih regard to the Soutiern States, and is, from ignorance, and im some Measure misinforma- tion, greatly prejudiced against them. Ignorance muet be dispelied and the prejudices removed, This obstacie should be removed. An impression prevails that the climate of the South is unsuited to ibe white man, Europe has heard of tie paraiiel of thirty-six degrees aud thirty minutes as a dividing ling between black and white labor in America. Spain, Italy, Bar- bary, Egypt and Asia Minor, which lie south of u ling and are witiin the same parailels of latitude which include he Southern States, are inhabited by races having tanned or black skin. From this it is inferred that the climate of the Southern States is unsuited to the Teuton. So long as these hurtful prejudices exist the Lag oe es | stream of Germans, Swedes, Norwegians, Kritous nd Danes wili never flow tnto the Southern Staces, he removal of these prejudices can best be accom- plished by a united effort. The plan contemplates Slate organizations for the encouragement of immt- gration, ‘The committee propose that this conven- tion appoint a general agent of immigration; that the States be requested to appropriate a sum, to be placed in the hands of the general agent, to be used iu preparing, publishing, trausiating aud circulating gratuitously among the emigrating classes a report showing the physical geography of the States adopt- ing this pian, their industrial resources, the special advantages which they offer the immigrant and other necessary information, In reference to é coolie jabor ihe committce said tie twpor- tavon of Chinamen and = other Asiatic la. bor does not reguire the means suggest in the report, That could be accomplished by sepa- rate State aud private organizations, ‘Tus (uiure may develop the necessity of uging the meaus im Asia now suggesied in the report.
