Recent discoveries nave been made of extensive sulphur felds in the interior of Sumatra, never be- fore witnessed by Europeans. fhe Governor of Bumatras West Coast, Mr. Arriens, led the expedt- tion which made the discovery, The editor of the Batavia Handeisviad, iva most interesting account of an excursion to Padang, makes the followimg ob- wervations oa the subjecti— The Governor recently made a journey from Siboga to the Batta lands, and there, by the outlay of a small amount—i62 florins and some trifimg pre. gents—succeeded in releasing eight prisoners who had been carried off from another district, and not being able to raise anything towards paying the Fequired ransom were destined to be eaten. We have not yet been able to obtain for pustoasn the diary of this Journey, but hope it will be published in some way, jor the Governor made it entirely without armed escort, and Visited districts whieh had never been viewed by a European. He had aiso some rare Theetings with Hatta chefs, and obtained much iniormation as to what is required te be done to bind by iriendly treaty with us the Battas and owner Inla- pitants of independent countries. The Sumatra Courant states as follows regarding the Governor's journey and discoveries:—“on the eth of December, 1568, the journey into the interior ‘was commenced, under the disagreeable conviction that travellers in those districts Would have to limit emselves to short marches, on account of the eavy ruing. At noon the Batta campong Bonin Dolock was reached, and the good will of the peovle was made apparent by the chief slaughtering a buf- ‘alo. After having passed the night at this p! the journey was continued on the tollowing day te Si Gompulan. This latter place is not Si Gompolan Where @ missionary society 1s statloned. On the 22d Pagar Lembang was reached, where several chicts | eben hogs, and on the 23d Huta Tinghl.. The habitants of Luis tes bad fled through fear, but speedily returned when they understood the visit had only peacetul objects. Having departed thence for Hata Dame, a distance of tweive leagues, at an in- termediate place, Bono Adjie, the travellers were awaited by tne missionary teacher, Johannsen, at the request of the fear-siricken inbabiiants, who Would otherwise have fled, but now stayed in the campong, men as well as women. At hult-past six in the evening the travellers arrived at tie magnil- cent valiey of Si Lindong, and were there anxiously waited for by the muissiogary. Nomensen at the Batang Taro river. Here things assumed an agree- able and enlivening aspect, by the neighvoring School youth joining together in singing the Nether- lands hauonal song, ‘Wien Netheriands bloed,” which, although in the Batta language, was very Well sung. Tne 25th of December was devoted to religious exercises, and the place of worship was very numerousiy attended, During the three following days the Governor car- ried out his lutention of visiting the catnpongs situ- ated in the neighbornood of Si Lindoug. Accord- ing to the Batta cusiom the reception was every- where festive. On the 30th tne travellers act out for Si Gompolan, twenty-five pauls from Si Lindong. The way led through very fruitful mountain districts, displaying Dumerous effects of voleauic agency, and rich ta mineral springs. The same kindly disposition which had been shown us elsewhere was experienced at this place; and the advent of the uew year was celebrated with religious exercises. The climate of $1 Gompoilan is on the whole extremely agreeabie; people have there the cool air of the Java mountain austricts, but not exactly their fertility, The 2d of January was devoted to the inspection of a sulphur field, situated a couple of teagues from Si Gompolan, in one of the valleys, the waters of which descend to the Bata ‘The whole ot the large vailey of the Batang may be regarded as volcanic ground, on which appear numberiess sulphur vents and aperta jrom which smoke or @team issues; and the locality visited on this occa- sion, although not the most extensive, is, however, of such an extent that those to be met With in Java surink into insigutficance im comparison with it. In some places are fount boiling mud springs of clear water, and several piaces are to be met with similar to the Rawa Kidang, Java. The sulphur here depo- sited 18 of the purest kidd, and in suMcient quantity to supply tie wats of the whole of Netherlands india, and besides perhaps furnish @ consideravle quantity for export elsewhere, The thermometer being held above the springs, or fountains of hot water, rose imme diately to ninety-five degrees Celcius; and ina neigh- boring river (he water ts too hot to be waded through, ‘Throughout the whole length of the Batang Taro vailey are Tound large or small mineral rivulets, the waters of almost atl of which, as a rule, are strongly impregnated, or bitter, with volcanic or mineral ingredieuts, His Hxcellency on the 24 January made a trip to the newly discovered and now become famous sulphur field, three to four leagues ty the north of St. Gom- Volan, behind a range of steep hilis and dense brash and brushwood, It was a graad, @ very sublime sigit—tuose innumerable, boiling Hot and bubbiin up springs, with thousands of snorting au steaming up openings, on the edgss of which the purest sulphur is prodaced, and extends itseif. Never beiore were ihese districts visited by Paro- peans, or seen even by Jungnuun, This region must now necessarily have a nate; and who can take it amiss that one of the gent.emen who acoompanied the Governor in hia exploration has proposed that the field visited be named “Lhe Sulphur Field of Arriens,” Wita this proposal we need scarcely say ‘we most cheeriully agree, Never has a resident of Sibogha been able to visit the districts referred to. We attach great Import ave, therefore, to the journey ot Ye present Gover- nor, and we sincerely believe that we can deduce from i the hope that thereby the firsy step has been taken towards a better future for bota the iand and its inhabitants, Much of what has been hitherto frightfully neglected appears by this journey to be Made good, aml we hope that the yoar i860 Will furs Bish abUNdARL proofs OF it The Man-Enting Tigress of Kongarapolliem— Haat for aud Death of the Animal, {From the Madras Mail, Oct, 27.)

At the spectal session of Lue Lanjore Court, held at the close of the adjournment, a Mohanimedan Kazee, named Abdul Karrem, was tried and convicted of indicting grievous hurt on lus Wile by a series of the most awrocious cruelties that have ever come to our notice.

The Tart in India—“Hocussing” Horses at + the Deccan Races Meeting, From the Bombay Gazette, Oct. 16) Up to the present tune, we believe, With ono or two bare exceptions, racing hag been conducted in Indla upon sportaman-like agd honorable principies, Geatlemen train aud rua horses for the sake of sport aud not for the sake of rupees. The loocha eee which corresponds to that of the “leg’’ in. England, may be said to have been practically on- xvown: bookmakers, propery a@peaking, have not existed; there has been no ring. Qnce tn England, the mother of manly sport, the turf was equally free trom the predatory trrbes who now roam at I in that country, and who have succeeded in making the turf the opprobrium of the land—oue shade only, if one shade, superior to the prize ring. The fall has been gradual but very striking. Qne by one the gentiomen have departed, driven out by foul play and manwuvring of all sorts. With a few honorable exceptions, breeders and owners have ceased to be sportsme: and have become mere traders in horsefesh if no ene. Driven onward in the race of specula- ‘lon, they Cannot even afford te let the noble racer grow to maturity before they begin to prostivute his undeveloped vigor to the making of money, Ro bukes, lamentations, remonstrances, have fuiled to arrost the spread on corruption, They have reached the period When the “leg and his dupe are com- pared to the spider and the fly, and when the word “turtite’? has: ome & synonym for gainbler. Obd- viously the gentleman who will not resort to cur- rent practices must be nowhere in a contest of this Kind; if he does resort to them he ceasesto be a gentieman, if he does not he runs the risk of ruin, dhe state of the British turf 1s the scandal of the day. Let us hope that a simular fave will not belall racing in India, But some incidents have just occurrea which are the parenws of very painful doubts on that head, The Deccan Monson Meeting has pot been more remarkable for the victories of fis Highness Aga Khag thee tt has for the carious ptpnemene, whien have sown themselves tn Me. Field's stable. All men incerested in racing are aware that he had a very flue string of animals, and they are equally aware that great things were expected of them in the Deccan contest, Unusual care and pains had been shown tn their selection and traiming, and Mr. Field had aright to look forward to @ successtul 1asue from his exertions. The whole preliminary period gave ample grounds for that auticipauon, not only to the owners, but to those who took an interest In the sport. But what happened? * * * It was now Premier's turn. This horse was on the third day entered tor Bin Rujjub’s Cup, to run on more favorable terms over the same dis- tance as he run on the second day, When he made so good a race; and he, therefore, according to the pub. He reckoning, was the favorite, But, comtrary to expectation, ie rau Im the same way aa Gray War- rior on the first day; ne could not “go” after the first three-quarters of a mile; and he was nowhere in @race FUL 1X much Worse time than that in which he ran the winner to a short. head op the second day. All this basa very odd, not to say yery ugly, look. We have’more to tell, On the mornings! the third day's racing tie mare Octavia ran a very fair trial, the “ume”? of which was known only to the owners aud gue or two connected with the stable, A mative gentleman haying olfered to give a parse of rupees: (600), the terms Of tie race Were arranged so that Octavia might start for it on the fourth day, Now occurred @ siriking fact. In the very next stall to Qctavia stood another mare, also bay, and, oddly enough, the nioruing of the day when Octavia was lo rao her inmediate heighbor dia what sue had never done before-—she aiso refused her teed, What are we to lufer from Unis plain statement of facts, ¢x- cept that Gray Warrior, Who fas not even ver recoy- ered his health, was drugged severely; that the Aga and King David were dosed leas effectuaily; that on the second day the Aga Was again hocussed; that on the third day Premier was tae victim, and thab on the fourth day the mare Octavia was selected, but that, by a fortunate mistake, the drug was adniinis- tered Co tue filly inthe very next alail. The suspl- cions of Mr. Field were now thoroughly aroused. From that time precaucious have been ‘aken Lo pre- vent foul play, and all tue horses since starved have run in tue form expected of them. We night goon to tilustrate the case by describ- ing the peculiar eharacter of the betting before and after tt became known that elective means had been adopted to saleguard the horses; but tits is delicate ground, on which we could only eater at the risic of making statements nop susceptible, probably, of strict legal proof, But we will tell a story, not alto- gether unknown, It may be, to some of te fre- qhenters of the Poona lotteries and race course, Dome years ago @ maton was made at hyderabad, in the Deccaa, between a well known horse cailed Aibemarie and a galloway named Roza. At nodW on the day before the race, when the owner was sit- tng outside hig stable with some friends, he was abruptly summoned by his brother, wno had ac- cidentaily discovered ®@ ghorrawailan in the act of drugging Alb marie, and was in time to prevent the completion of the offence, The delinquent reiused to wil the name or names of his em ployers, but he was tried and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, with hard labor, But that {3 not the point of our tiustrative anecdote. Before the ghorrawallah had been tras- trated and caught, although the galloway had not the least chance against Alvemarie, provided that he weit to the post in his proper form, yet there were certain parties busy laying five to one on the gallo- Way. After the attempt to hocuss Albemarie had been defeated the game persons not only would not back Roza “even,” but would not take five to one againss him. ‘There ts reason to believe that the Hyderabad game has been repeated successiully at Poona, Peroapa before long the police wiil ve able to fotlow up the indications in their possession and wind up the drama by convicting the otfendera, In the meantime we deeply regret that such @ stain should rest on the annals of the Indian turl, Items from India.

He was not there of course to tell them what sub- ects the Council proposed to discuss; he had no iver sources of iuformation In tue matter than were a@vailabie to any of those that were pregeut; and im fact he knew nothing whatever avout It, ‘Speaku however, to them a8 a layman of the Church, might say that If those present felt with him tuat their articles of fatth, the truths which formed the basis and the security of their religion wero in their nature irrevocable and unalteradie, they would have litte trouble in their minds as to the issue on Ts Acore Of the Council's Gotiperations; even should they permnt themseives to doubt taal the band of fathers, who were to assemble at Rome the depositaries of the traditions and learning of the Church, could be guided by any other instinct or inspired with any ovher thought than tnat of preserv- ing her foundations and upholding the teaching of the past, fie had mo doubt that those who heard him would rather take comfort in the reflection that notwitbstanding the many persecutions which the Church hed had to enrinre, and to which she was even now sudject, her vitelity and power should yot be such that she should sull beable fo make thie Magnificent display of learning, of wisdom and ol piety that Would be offered to the world In the vast And Imposing assembiage shat Was about to gather round the throne of the Supreme Pontid—a display As aplondid as it wil ever have been the fortane of man to withess, and as it 1s in the power of Chriscen- dom to produce, But strong as were the claims ot Uus Council oa the moral ots Catholle congre- gaitons all over the world, Mere Were circumstances actacting to 16 which seemed to him to appeal tna peculiar manaer to Wher sympathy aud aantiratton ; and there Was to his mind notutiyg more aceiking ta the Whole of -these than the appearances prevented by the attitude of the holy father the Pope, who though aesponed of the larger portion of tne tem- porai dominion whieh ne had Inherited ag an appan- age of his high office, and witi bis eneunes, 80 10 speak, even DOW at his gates, seemed still to be pressed by nothing so inuch’ as by the soll- citude which he {eit for the spiritual welfare of the flock committed to his charge; and wlio, amid the tumuit ef the continent around him, sult stood forth as a rallyiag point of order and of religion, an example of meckness, dignity and fortitade and of every Chnsnan virwue. Jt was seldom that the Catholic community of this city had an opportantty of tus expressing their feeling of loyalty aud attactment to the Holy See; and if it was @ duty which they owed to themselves, imnow raking advantage of it, 4% was one which shey Owed also to. the reverend’ pastor who was to present the address on Weir behalf, and who would navuraily derive inuck com/ort and strength in beat ing his part ac the Council when he felt that he thus carried with him the sympathy and support of the congregation which ue left bend him. The Ohairinan then proceeded to read the address, after which Lieatenant Colones Allen rose to move the resolution that the address be adopted and pre- sented to the Pope:— ‘To His HOLiN#sS Pork Prog [X;~— Most Hoty Pararr—We, the understgued, clergy and latiy of the vicariate apostolic of Gal catia, eagerly avail ourselves of the opportunity oilered Ly the departure of our archvtshop vicar apostolic for the Eternal City, to present with the deepest respect to your Holiness the expression of hopes and feel- Jngs which we deem it a glory to entertain, And first of ali we express our deep reget that tn these remote parts of the Christian world we ao #el- dom have @ proper opportunity of conveymg the expression of our sentiments to our venerated Pon- ti, and that While the most solemn protestations of Udelity and allegiance have been offered to your Molness by our more fortunate bretiiren in faith who are in Kurope, we have been fain to rest con- tent with the mere perusal of the consoling reports , thereoi, when it was but too late to have our share in their happiness. We, notwicy ding, cherish the fond hope inat this will not lead our revered common Father to suspect that we are slow in asserting our full right to put forth our claims to the same warmth, the same purity, the vame catholicity of feeling which we rejoice to see so frequently expressed by our more favored brethren in Surope. Indeed, most Holy Father, deep has our aiiiiction been when, during the course of your Holiness’ glorious reign, we haye heard the reports of the many attacks which, in these later yeurs, baye been directed against the Church of Jesus Christ, against the authority of her visible head, and against the much venerated per- sonage in whoin that authority is vested. We feel how heavy has been tue cross with which*it hag pleased Almighty God in His tuscrutable wisdom to load him whom He loves, We cannot call to mind, without grief, those unhappy daya when Rome had for a while ceased to be the abode of our Holy Father; when later, by a lawless attempt of which we here express our detestation, tae Holy See was dispos- sessed of a temporal sovereignty bestowed on it by Divine Providence, for securing its rreedom in the government of the Catholic Church; when in many kingdoms, waich had once been tlhe glory of our holy religion, it was our lot to see tem- ples profaned and plundered; the priests and bishops of the Chured ignominiousiy persecuted and impri- soned; Church possessions, glorious monuments of the generosity and zeal of our Catholic fore- fathers, sacrilegionsiy misappropriated; virgins consecrated to God, whose lives were de- voted to humble works of Christian charity, cruelly expelied from their sacred asylums, and, as one of the last pontifical bulis expresses it, ‘amplety reached such a pitch that not only our religion but even human society is disturbed and harassed in the most lamentable way.’? Auid ail these calamities, if it has been our lot to “weep with those who weep,’ and to suffer aiflic- tton with the Father of all, whose unbounded grief for the sufferings of atl and each of us is 80 well known, it has been at the same time our great con- solation to see how a merciful God has ordained all things for the glory of His Church anc of ber visible «bead. In fact, these very deeds, evil and audacious ‘ag they have been, have evoked most glorious tokens of submission and respect towards the person and authority of your Holiness; we have seen unjust dis- possessions compensated by the spontancous offe! ings of the taithful from every quarter of the globe; we have seen noble defenders volunteer and tock to the Eternal City to protect, at the cost of thelr lives, if need be, their Father in his hour of peril, when his former defenders had thought fit to foi sake him; we have seen upwards of 500 vener- able prelates hasten to Rome at the first sign of their common father’s wish, that they mignt thus make known to the world how deeply affection and fihal submission to the Holy See are rooted in their hearts, as well as in the hearts of ail those whom they represented; we have seen on a late occasion ail the princes and sovereigns of the world, without distinction of creed, vying with each other in offering their congratulations on the expiration of your filtieth year spent in the sacred ministr: aud therepy tebiifying to the veneration they enter- tained for your Holiness’ digaity and person. At all these tokens of universally expressed esteem we rejoice and glory. “ne glory of the children are their lathers,” aud ours will be the glory to know that coming generations Will pronounce us happy in having had a father who has been at once our great glory and the ovore | glory of the Church, We cannot fail to observe how Divine Provideace has made the é/forts of our enemies subservient to the furthering of His designs. it was in calamity and tribuiation, and by reason of them, that we have learned to appreciate the eminent virtue of our glorious Supreme siead; then it was that wo saw that nnfinching courage and boundiess contidence in God's protecting band shine fortn in all its bright- ness; then it was that we admired that caimness and resignation together with that unchanging fiymness which will make your Holiness’ Pontincate memorable through all ages; then it was that all, both clergy sad prelates, Were strengthened and encouraged in thew struggles by the heroism of their haveye and it surely cannot have escaped the eye of the most casual observer thas the example ewanating from your Holthess has elicited trom the faituiul a greater zeal in the open profession of their retigion; and, we fear not to add, in the chief pastors of the Church a determined will of giving, 1¢ 18 true, to Cesar what ia Ciesar’s due, but at the saine time nevor to deny to God what Is God's, be it at the price of persecution or tmprisonment. For all unis we are deeply indebted to your Holiness; for this will future ages be indebted'with us. We now express the Wish that the Almighty may con- tinue to shed ee PCr ae on your Holt- ness’ person and glorious reign; that the soiemn event, considered the most giorious of your pontif- cale, the General Council, may answer every ex- pectation; that it may be the means of leading home Ube sheep of the Heavenly Shepherd auder ove pas- tor, Into one aud the selfsame fold, and that it may bring many who are now walking in daviness and in the shadow of death to the knowledge of the trae bet and of Him whom the true God has sent, Christ jesus. We finally, with sincere gratitude forall that your Holiness nas been pleased to do for thia portion of the Catholic Church, implore the continuance of your Holiness’ beneficent and fatherly provection—a Savor for which we shall never fail to offer our fer- vent prayers that the Almighty may grant a long and prosperous reign and the Mebest reward to our glorious Father, Pi 4 The Reverend Father WAEGELT then rose and pro- ba that the address be made more acceptabie by he Offering of a purse with it. There was no ques tion, he said, that the Pope was in want of funda, and be did not think that the Cathviics of thia part of the globe would refuse their nitte towards a purse, Whtet 1t Was proposed should accompany the ad- dress, @ proposition whicn was reveived with re- tteraved cheers. Mr. Skinner said that the address would be printed and then any one who chose could sign It, Mr. Crowe said that it would be printed and aMixed to the doors of ail the churches, and he had no doubt that the whole of the Catholic community would willingly sign it, as a token of good feellug. Dr. LESTON seconded the resolution of the Kev. Father Magill, and said that although different na- tionalitfies were present, yet the same care was over all in regard to religious matters. Besides, was not a pocket the beet method of showing affection? Cheers.) ‘ Dr. TONNERRE then rose and said that he had one matter to put before the meoting, and that Was a proposal to thank their Archbishop for the very great interest he had taken in all matters concerning the spiritual welfare of the flock under his dare, He Would ask te meeting to testity their sense of his worth and iabors, not by a show of hands, as they had been asked to do by the other gentiomen who had put resoluuions before them, but by hearty and hearcfelt cheers, to wish him suc- cess in ali bia undertakings’, & good Voyage and sale return tO Ualcutta—a sentiment which was re- sponded to by prolonged and repeated hurrahs, Dr. STEINS then got on the stage and ina few words deprecated the expreséion of ® proposal which, though flattering and highly gratifying to him, he felt oat of place. The meeting had met to take tnto consideration the best method of express- ing good will towards the Pope, and he felt ashamed that he sould fave been named in the manner proposed py Dr, Tonuerre, detracting in Chat man- ner a certain meed of sympathy from the meeting. Hat, as lt had been givea expression to, he could only repeat lis thanks for the ovation, With refe- rence lo the proposal to make an offering im money to the Pope, he assured the meeting that if would afford tum great pleasure to offer a purse to his Holines%, if 1t were only done in remembrance of a large community in 60 remote a quarter of tue globe, All the contributions made by the Catholic commu. nity ip Calcutta were intended, in most instances, to meet the expeuses attendant upon the different charities in the cliy, and bé WeHld Hos for a Mouleht deter them from going Into that channel. In fact nearly all the different orphanages and ovher chari- table institutions in the city depended wvon the charity of the public, and the contnibution which the ublic Would make towards the offering to the Pope would be perfectly voluntary. He, on part, Would coutripute the stim of 1,000 rupees towards it, and would add to It @ further sum of 800 rapees, contributions mace by Wealthy men on tlie conti- nent, that which he wouid set apart for the pur- pose, a step he had no doubt the donors would most willingly give their assent to, He would also inform the meeting that he had contributed a far of 4,000 rupees rowards the expenses attendant upon pnliding @ new chapel in Bow Bazar, and he en- toned this to show that religious institutions in Cal- cutta had not been forgotten. After a few more remarks he gave those present his benediction, A vote of thanks to the Chair then terminated the pro- ceedings. During the course of these sp eeches the resolutions published tn yesterday's issue were pul and carried Wnanimonusiy, M. de Ferraris, on leaving the Italien Ministry, handed to lis successor the sum of $50,000, being the residue of (he gums alloted during tue moulus of August, September and October as anoveutions lO the VabiO Drew. ‘VIRGINIA Anxiety to See the State Adatiticd—Cptuions of the President, Secretary Boutweill, Senator Wilson and Ben Batler=Geueral Canby and His Report—The Approaching Radicai Con. vention—The Richmond Papers and the Associated Prese—A Threatened Break-oif, RICHMOND, Noy. 16, 1869, As the time for the meeting of Congress approaches the people look forward more eagerly and anxiously to the long-wished-for admission of the State to the Union, as the consummation of an arduous and per- fect reconstruction, Representataves of every phase and complexion of poiltical sentiment seem to be agreed upon the immediate restoration of the Old Dominion, with the exception of the carpet-bag class, Who still cling to a hope that Virginia will be continued under military rule a term longer, which would leave them im possession of tte offices they now hold by military appointment another twelve months at least. But from every indication they Will -be sadly disappointed in their expectations, as every Kuown auttorivy, even General Canby, ex- presses the opinion that the State will be admitted promptly after the meeting of Congress next mouth, The President, in conversation with Zep ‘Turner, Speaker of the Houso of Dele- gates here, thought Virginia would be admitted ten days after Congress assembled, and there is every reason to believe he willrecommend it in his message, Senator Wilson fayora the early admission of the State; 80 does Secretary Boutwell, and so does Ben Butler, if General Canby’a report isnot burdened with “intimidation and fraua” in the late elections, and of this there is every assur. ance that it ts mot, General Canby has made his report, but on application at headquarters to-day a synopsis of it could not be obtained except trom General Sherman under the rules governing army correspondence. If will, doubtless, accompany the Commanding General’s report to Congress. The report, it is understood, will fully portray the dim- culties of reconstruction and ali the imperiections of the plan in a striking manner. It will point out the evils of the preseut system of clyli onlictals Wuder the test oath exactiou; and the peaceful dis- position of the people under all these trials and trioulations wiil be a subject of commendation. In relation Lo the Jate election the report will doubtless state what the General has so often expressed, thal te was oue of the fairest elections ever held, and that few Northern elections ever passed or so peace. ably, orderly aud quietly, Some allusion will also be made to the condition of the people, how just emerging from the poverty consequent upon the calamities of war, aud as the constitution just adopte1 affords no relief to the debtor class, and does away with the Stay law, some special action on the part of Congress may be recommended, as the following order sent w the clerks of all the courts in the State would indicate:— The Commanding General instructs me to request you to forward to these headquarters, as early as practicable, a statement of the aggregate amount of executions 1 the above-named court and stayed by the operat Stay inw and General Order No. 149 (1568), und 80, 97 and 100 (1809), from these headquarters ; also, separately, an estinate of judgments on which executions have not been issued, Vary respectfully, your obedient servant, LOUIS CAZIARC, A. D. U, and A. A. A. G, This order was generally construed as having the continuance of the Stay law in contemplation, and, perbaps, very properly; but the opinion prevaus that the object to be attained by 1 was a knowledge of the real condition of the people throughout the State, particularly the debior class, with a view to their permanenp relief. However this may be, a wreat deal of suffering will ensue when the new con- sutution goes into effect, if some plan for the relief of debtors is not before determined upon. ‘The chairman of the radical State Executive Com- mittee has reissued his call for a convention of that now mere faction in this State, to be held on the ‘24th inst., wita the additional request that a repre- sentation will be sent double that of the present House of Delegates, The object of this convention is ostensibly to reorganize the party on the basis of the constitution adopted at the late election, but actually its parpose {3 to create a furor abou’ dis- loyaity, Inciintdation and fraud in the elecuon and the tasincerity of the Walker party just before the meeting of Congress, in order to retard the admuis- sion of the State, Another feature of the conyen- tion will be the strong endorsement of the “protest” adopted by the radical members of the Legislature in caucus last month, when they aiso had it in contemplation to secede from that body and form a separate and distinct Legisia- ture—the créme de la créme of loyalty, as it is under- stood in the Scuth, with the iron-ciad as tne test, ‘The “protest,” it will be remembered, deciared the Legislature an illegal body, wituout subscriving to the oath of 1562, and it concluded with the follow ing very delectable paragrapa:— jgned therefore protest that the ratification of e fourteenth nor fiftes tional constitution by this body can oath prescribed by the act of Congrei have been taken by the members oi both houses of the Assembly; and they further protest that this Legisia- now organized, is not entitied, and cannot, without violation of law, transact any business, pass any act or re- solve, hold any élection or undertake to assume any other function of a Legisiature; and while we propose to retain onr seats we aguert our perfect right, on legal grounds, to with- deaw from this body at any time hereafter aud orgaulze « Legislature which shail be at once legal and loyal, as required by the laws of Congress, They reserved the right at any time to withdraw from the legal body and organize a “loyal” and legal Legisiature, and at the instance of Cuarles H Porter (radica)), Congressman elect (the same per- son Ben Butler sent to the Kip Raps with a bail and chain forsix months), this threat of secession was nearly carned into effect at the time. It was then proposed that those members who could take the test oath would .organize a separate ana distinct body of both branches of the Legislature, elect tem- porary officers, and, as they would be withouta quorum, adjourn from day to day. Candidates who received the next highest vote to the disqualiled rson in each county and Senatorial district, f able sud willing to take the oath, were to be decigred elected and sworn In as members of the new Legislature, AS svon, then, a3 @ quorum could be obtained the two houses thus seif-consti- tuted were to ratify the foarteensth and fifteenth amendments, elect United States Senators and fill all the other offices provided for by the constitution then adopted, such as Supreme, Circuit and county Court Judges, Treasurer, First and Second Auditor, Secretary of State, &c. This revolutionary measure was barely defeated by a vote at the time, aud but for the calm and sover counsel of Mr. C, J, Thomas, of Henry county, one of the members, both of the Legisiature aad taeir party, it would have been pat into execution, and for the second time the spectacle of secession would have been witnessed in Virginta, though im the latter instance on a svale that would have created intense amusement, as tae secession of the carpet-baggers from tue State. Such is the programme, oad of such ayparty as will now meet in convention purely for the purpose of endeavoring to retard the admission of the state to the Union, when every condition ard requirement of Congress and the administration has been com- plied With. 1t 1s gratifying, however, to see that they are exceedingly weakened; thelr best leaders even despair of succeas, and though the effort wil be made itwill be but the dying groan of a pow nearly defunct faction in Virginia, The Richmond papers Jabor under serions and Aggravated grievances at the hands of the Asso- ciated Press, and they are becoming restive. It is | not unfrequently the case that Baitimore and Wash- ington papers arrive here in the afternoon with news in full, a synopsis of which is transmitted over the wires to the papers the saine afternoon, This is @ constant occasion of dissatisfaction, and the only remedy that is suggested 1s elther a detachment of Richmond trom the system of Southern ‘drop’’ reports, and the transmission here of proximate duplicate reports of ali tlie important news now sent to the Baltimore and Washington papers, or a dis. continuance of the Associated Preys reports, Mucti of the “drop” matter is expressly intended for points south of Virginia, which rarely interests the people here, though sometimes the reverse is the case, and this Is anotaer reason why Richmond, from its con- tiguity to Washington, should be detached from the “drop” system, Another serious cause of compla'at is the fuct that the arrival of ocean steamers at New York is not sent by the Associated Press, and this Is information exceedingly valuabie to the mer- cantile community here, The papers here, too, we enied the publication of early marine news, the movements of vessels to and from the James river, though the Associated Press has an agent at Fortress Monroe who transinits tis news North via Ricumond, but it ig not dropped here, aud has after- wards to be copied from Northern papers, What makes the matter still more aggravating is the ex- cess of the rates paid by the papers here over that aid by Northern journals to the Associated Press, n the iate report of President Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph Colmpany, be siates that the receipts of that company for tolls in 1868 from the press of the United States averaged two three-tenth mils per word. The “drop” reports sent south aver- age about 5,000 words per week, for a copy of which the Richmond press pays twenty-five milis per word, tolls included, This 18 a Wide difference, | yet such is the case, and altogether the tnjustice | practised towards the press here by the New York Association is an outrage that demands some rem- edy, which ought at once be applied. If something is not done the papers here will be compelled to seek some other node of obtainiag news, mats are of lufinitely more VeneMt than tie telegraph.
