SELF-GOVERNMENT. The Governor of Virginia Vetoes the Bill Disenfranchising the Municipal Voters of Petersburg—Constitutional Reasons for His Action—The Dangers of a Precedent of Party Legislative Despotism. RicyMonp, Va., March 12, 1874. Governor Kemper to-day returned to the Senate, with his objections, “the bill to provide a new charter ior the city of Petersburg,” which gave the control and appomtment of all the city officials, including those of the poitce, the Fire Department and ali others, to a Board to be appointed by the Circuit Judge of the city. its main object was to take from the majority of voters, who are negroes and non-taxpayers, the government of the city and place it in the hands of the whites, who are the property owners and bona Jide taxpayers. THE GOVERNOR'S REASONS FOR HIS ACTION. The Governor, after stating nis constitutional reasons for the veto, and aiter referring to the fundamental principles of free government, in- cluding the Virginta bill of rights, which declares that al republican governments derive their power from the consent of the governed, says:— It is submitted that it this bill became law Virginia would stand betore the world in the attitude of denyin; toone of her most important municipalities the grea body of that right of local selt-government which she un- fiinchingly asserts and claims for the whole people aguinst all opposera In my judgment the bill isdeeply ob- jectionabie, on grounds of expediency as well as principle. it is especially unfortunate that such legislation should at this critical juneinre be applied to a city in which colored men compose a majority of its suffragists, in view of the fundamental conditions on which Virginia stands as a member o! the federal Union, in view of our own solemn and sworn recognition of the political equal- ity Deiore the law of all men, irrespective of race. color oF previous condition, the proposed measure, if enacted, could not fail to subject us to disastrous misconstruction at home and abroad. It would root out the growing good between the races and plant instead the seeds of _ fresh Srritation and strife, Tt woud renew and Intensity the Fuco agiiauons of the, past, which are being happily settled. [t would present Virginia to the world as being torn by Intestine feuds ot an apparently interminable It would discourage and postpone, if not repel the approach ot the immigration and capital to which our most ardent hopes are directed. and, Inore to be deplored than all, it would sound a provocation to federal Interterence in our domestic affairs. If itis argued, as Is reported, that a majority of the voters of Petersburg is composed of men who are ignor- ant and unit to ruie, and that it 18 a duty to withdraw the government of that city trom its ignorance and vice and entrust it to its virtue and intelligence, let it be re- membered such @ proposition assumes that the Legis- lature has an arbitrary discretion by which it may separate the people Ini classes, uccording to its own standard of merit determine what classes are worthy or unworthy of self-government, and, particularly, dis- franchise whomsoever it will. ' Such’an exercise of” DUSPOTIC DISCRETION AND POWER would not only be abhorrent to the vital principles of free government, but wouid establish a precedent iraught with infimte danger. If in the political mutattons of the future, those who consider themselves virtually pro- seibed’ by such @ meastre should come Into the control of the government, they might. in the exer. ciso of the same arbitrary discretion, determine virtue” and intelligence to reside only ‘within. their oy race or color, and, toliowing and exten mple now sought to. be established, might artisans the government of not the cities and towns and even counties of the commonwealth. Such precedents ascribe unlimited power to the Legislature and assume that it may subvert the principles of liberty at will. They are one but many BLOODY INSTRUCTIONS,” which, being taught, return to plague the inventor. There can be no security sor liberty, but in an immov- able adherence to fundamental principle. Applying the words of one of the abiest political writers of any age, “Let me exhort and conjure you never to suffer an invasion of your pollucal constitution, however minute tl tance May appear, to pass by without a determined persever- ing resistance. One precedent creates anothe: What yesterday was fact, to-day doctrine. In all legislation it is necessary to be mindful ot the fa: that the two races are now so unalterabiy incorporated together in the body politic that no discrimination can be made, direetly or remotely, against either without imperiuung the rights and the peace of botn, or without INFRINGING ORGANIC LAW. In my recent inaugural message the brace | words were addressed to the General Assembly:—"It is not doubted that the people of Petersburg are suffering trom misgovernment or that incapabie men are to de found among tneir city officials, but it Is believed that other and appropriate corrections | can devised tor the existing evils. It ts respectfully sug- gested that amendments of the charter of that its taxation, expenditures and debt within proper limits, and the question is submitted as worthy of con- sideration, Whether or not a general !aw may be applied to ali cities and (owns which would prescribe such rules and tests as to insure integrity aad efficiency on tue parts of all their officials? it is, nevertheless submitted that the rejection of the pending bill is necessary to the best interests of Petersburg, for the enforcement of such a measure would entail endless local, animosities and — troubles that would rend the vitals of that city," it ig interred that many of the most important features of the bi were but bastily considered by the General Assembly, and that mature deliberation will lead to its rejection by the —controuling members of all parties. Bat if my mind is’ deceived in this regard, if my objections are to be considered aod reproached, it political triends shail become | foes and as such beyirt my official Lite in the future. and if the pathway of duty suai! be lighted with a blaze of my burning effigies, nevertheless [shail tread it with an untaltering step to the end An eifort will be made to pass the bill over the veto, but it is believed it will fail. DOUBLE MURDER BY TEXAN D&SPERADOES, GALVESTON, Texas, March 12, 1874, Aspecial despatch trom Indianola says that about one o'clock this afternoon two men, one named Taylor and the other unknown, walked aboard the steamer Clinton, lying at a wharf here, 1d delib- erately shot and killed two men named Sutton and Slaughter, and then made their escape, These inen Were all connected with the bands of despera- does that have neen making things so lively in be Witt couuty of late, The murdered men were sup- posed to be making an eflort to get awayon the steamer, having been Warned that wWev were lgl- lowes ity may be Jramed which would effectually confine | IME ANGLO-RUSSIAN BRIDAL. ‘ | Entry of the Royal Marriage Party Into London.

TROUELES OF THE ENGINEERS. Letter of the Late Grand Cnief Engineer of the Brotherhood—He Desires to Es- cape the Disgrace and Failure of the Present Organization and to Create a New One. CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 12, 1874. Mr. Charles Wilson, the lately deposed Grand Chier Engineer of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers, has prepared and will publish to-morrow a circular letter in re- lation to the manner by which his removal by the Convention recently here was brought about. He reviews the history of the Brotherhood and speaks of the high standing they maintained until the occurrence of the late strikes and the confidence that had followed the organization from the first, and very severely criticises the ac- uon of the Convention. He defends himself int what he did to prevent the confiict, and closes With the following strong language, which is o importance to all business circles as well as to the general railroad interests o1 the country :— PROPOSAL OF A NEW ORGANIZATION. Before the strike the Brotherhood received the cordial /@) support of thousands of the pest men in Canada and the United States. |The press, with a tew unimportant excep- tioms, gave us their hearty co-operation, have no doubt but that we should have been fully sustained in any conflict that would have arisen under our rules, Butnow ail is changed. A number of the subdivisions, with a large number ot members, have entirely disregarded the most tacred rules of the Brotherhood and all their protesta- tions made to their iriends since they were first organ- ized, They have forteited every claim to the confidence of every entirely ignoring all their previous romive: they now assume & suspicious attitude yy instituting a secret that will surel Drove ruinous, to the interests of all concerned. No declaration of good intentions will now avail anything alter such flagrant violations of all pre- vious rules and promises. Sincerely regretting the con- dition our once powerful organization ts placed in, an not being willing to share the responsibility of a final disgrace and fayure, I have appiiea to. my division for final withdrawal, “Pam ‘aware that there are a large number of divisions that do not approve of the sirtkes or any change in the policy of organization. To my mind there is only one way that a division or member can save their honor, and that is to Withdraw trom the demoraiized Brotherhood and organize a new society, that will have for its guides, first and last, justice and honor.

THE NEW CRUSADE. Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, Ex presses His Views to the Intemperate Agitators of the Temperance Question— The Bible in Support of Strong Drink in Moderation—The Difference Between Abstinence and Sobriety. CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 12, 1874. Archbishop Purceil, of this city, publishes the | following letter to-day in answer to numerous written and personal applications by Ohio women for sympathy and assisiance in tue whiskey cru- sade :— prrrarsnars TEMPERANCE AGITATORS. St. Paul, in his instructions to the Romans and through them to al! Christians, advises them “not | to be More wise than it behooveth to be wise; but to be wise unto sobriety.” Komans, xii., 30. The undersigned takes this occasion to answer the nu- | merous applications made to him for aympathy and co-operation in the crusade against intemper- | ance. He does not now for the first time express | publicly his sympathy with cue object, ifnot with the means adopted by the crusaders, or us readiness to co-operate with every legitimate and wise effort for the suppression of intemperance. Scarcely fas he ever had the spiritual care of a congrega- tion, a8 priest or bishop, without warning those who heard bim of the temporal and eternal evils resulting from excess, in sermons and pastoral lettera, He has insisted on the necessity and ¢ horted to the observance of holy temperance, going so far in one of these _ letters, many years ago, a8 -to express the wish that not one of his flock were @ low | disreputable saloon keeper. For ten years he prgerised: total abstinence, hoping by example to Induce those whom his words did hot reach to sbun the vice that leads to every other vice. He ig even now totally abstinent. Tins he considers pretty good; but he cannot go to the excess suggested by some oi the lady league. He cannot instruct or preach that it is a sin for @ day laborer, who has to carry the bod on a boiling hot day in July or August, up a steep ladder to the third or fourth story of a building, to restore his exhausted strength by & lass or two of beer. This he would consider cruel. if the toiler has the physical endurance and the will todo witnout the beverage, in the name ot God let him do it, and it _he can't take this reiresh- ment without drinking to exci let him abstain altogether or quit ‘the hard work, or die, for it i better so than to be @ drunkard. Again, the Archbishop can't ask aclergyman to blaspheme the Divine Author of our religion by asking Him why He made wine at Cuana, in Galilee, to recreate guests ata wedding; why He | instituted the Eucharist, the Lord’s Supper, partly in wine, of which He commanded the Apostles to drink; why Jehovah’s holy spirit teaches us in tue Bible that God made “Wine to cheer the heart of man” (Psalms, cill., 13), and the vine to ask why it should desert its “wine that cheereth God and men” (Judges, ix., 18)? Why aid the dying patriarch, under the mfuence of Divine inspiration, wish his son “abundance of wine?” Why, again, does the Holy Ghost tell us that it is hurtful always to drink water or wine, ‘but that to mix them is pleasant, or sometimes to drink one and sometimes the other, in the last verse of the Old Testament? Bat God, they object, did not make the wine. We have shown that He did make it. Neither did He make the bread, except in the miracle of the loaves in the desert; but He made the grape and the wheat, from which wine and bread are made—the one by @ process not much simpler than the other, Catholics then go to the Bibie and they understand it, and, with the blessed book before them, we ‘cannot, with bell, book and candle, with praying and psalm-singing in the mud, excommunicate those who drink or those who dispense the liquid which God has made to be used with moderation and thanksgiving. This, then, is the edict of the Word 01 God, “Use, but do not abuse ;” and if you can’t use without abusing use not at all. Some few years past three or four Protestant “clergymen called on the Archbishop to ask his co- operation in an attempt to abate the nutsance of the grogshops; he toid them that when there was the question o/ the licensing or avsolute pronibit- ing of the sale of inebriating liqiors, he earnestly recommended the imposing ol as heavy a tine or license on the venders of such liquids as they could bear, and inexorably to close, by all the penalties known to the law, those vile barrooms where baa liquor is sold to minors, drunkards, men or women, Who are now the pests of the com- munity, a disgrace to their families, and teaching by word and example the broad way to perdition. ‘nis, he conceived, would be the wost effectual check to the evil we deplore. It would diminish, perhaps, by 2,000 the 3,000 spiraculaditis, those craters of hell by which our city ts in perils ot combustion, and it would pay the city much, if not all, the expenses of the workhouse and other institutions, which honest, sober citizens are now shamefully taxed to support. All whichis respect- Tully submitted to all whom it ney concern.’” t J. B. PURCELL, Archbishop of Cincinnati. This is the first public expression of the vener- able prelute on the subject of the present temper- ance agitation, and itis regarded as very signill- cant Colonel S, S. Fisher, late Commissioner of Pa- tents, presided at a mass meeting held at the First Baptist Church to-night. The attendance at this place and at Wesley Chapel was large. One committee of visiting ladies reported four- teen saloons visited. All but two dealers expressed a desire to quit the business. Another committee reported visits to filteen places on Main street, two of which refused them admittance. A gang of nearly 200 boys and men followed them, hooting and yelling; but the police interfered and quieted them. One of the worst districts mn the city, next to the river, was visited and the committee report @ polite reception there. The Ohio Cru jers—Discouraging Pros- pect for the Ladies, Dayton, Ohio, March 12, 1874, Four battalions of women moved up Main street to-day, and visited about a dozen saloons, attack- ing some not heretofore visited, and creating a sensation in the neighborhoods. The only incident of the day was the intercession ofa Catholic priest for one 0; his flock, appealing to the crusaders not to pray for him, because he was a good Christian, and had promised to bim, the priest, to quit the traffic, The women assented and moved on, The crowd about the crusaders was smaller than usual, in consequence of the severity of the flerce March winds, which filled the air with dust, It was very cold, The prospect for the crusaders is discouraging, but they are resolute. Saloon keepers are dis- criminating in their trade against merchants who help the crusaders, and the temperance people promptly carry their trade to men who are thus singled out, and help their business more than they lose by the bad policy of the liquor dealers, Ifthe temperance sympathizers adopt the policy of retaliation one-third the rman groce! the city will be broken down. To-might there are three large temperance meetings goiug on in du- ferent parts of the city. The Monotony of the “Work” in Colum- bus—A Saloon Keeper’s Practical Satire. CoLvmsts, Ohio, March 12, 1874. The crusaders spend the morning in visiting pri- vate houses, obtatning signatures to the citizens’ pledge, and the afternoon in regular street work, The only noticeable feature of the day was an occurrence at one saloon. The ladies found the doors locked and proceeded to sing and pray in front of the place, when the proprietor mounted a chair on the inside of the saloon, and, peeping over the transom of the front door, drank tne health of a friend across the street in a giass of tuaming beer, One saloon keeper declared he was anxious to sell out if the tadies would parchase his stock at considerably below cost and assist him | in obtaining another occupation. The question of purchase Was referred to the gentiemen’s commit- tee for consideration. Unconditional Surrender by a Liquor Dealer in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, March 12, 1874.

The committee called for by the resolution is composed oi the following gentlemen :—W, Kucild Young, Jolin 8. Lounsberry, Pailo 5. Casler, Ed. Kempton, John J. Muir, James Crombie, David W. Lewis, J. A. Babcock, Henry L. Foote and William Harris. Alter several addresses had been deliv- ered in advocacy of the new movement the meet- ing adjourned. A reception was tended by Dr. Porteous, last evening, at the residence of the Rev. Dr, Carroll, on Bedford avenue, bear Monroe street. Dr. Porteous was present and there re- ceived a large number of tis iriends, The parlors were crowded with visitors during the entire evening. . Reception to Dr. Porteous, One of the most brilliant receptions of the sea- son Was that given last night to Dr. Porteous of London, whom the Protestant Episcopal Bishops of New York and Brooklyn have | lifted from @ comparative stranger into a | universal frfend and brother, Dr. Carroll, pastor of the East Reiormed Church on Bedford | avenue, Brooklyn, who was one of the first pastors in the city to open his pulpit to the eloquent churchman, invited @ number of prominent ministers and lay- men of the different denominations to meet Dr. Porteous at his residence. The law was ably repre, | sented by Judges Pratt, Neilson, Reynolds, and otners, while the Gospel had its advocates in, Drs. Ingersoll, Kimball, F. G. Clark, Van Slyck, Alexan- der Thompson, H. ©. Scudder, Norman, Seaver, Ormiston of New York, Duryea, Jefrey, Talmage, Manning and Pierce, and Revs. C. H. Everest, J. B. Alliger, Wells, Alfred Taylor, N. F. Nickerson of Rockvule Centre, Hugh 0. Pen- tecost, J. T. Lansing, and others. The lay element of the several churches had representatives in the persons of Deacon Hatcbinson, of Plymouth | church, whose pastor is too ill to leave ls house ; “Deacon” Tuttle, of Simpson Methodist Episcopal church; Messrs. John Gibbs, James Smeaton, John Nixon, McDiarmid, Dr. Nightingale, Captain Os- | trom, J. Lawrence, Charies Hallock (Forest and | Stream), William Hallock, General Roger A. Pryor, Generat Woodward. Colonel White, C. S. Wells, J. ©. Barlow, A. B. Stewart, Mr. Crozier and others, The venerable ‘Father’ Gleason was among the joiliest of the brethren. Por an nour or two the company enjoyed themseives in the elegantly furnished parlors of Dr: | Carroll’s residence, while a parlor orchestra rendered for them the choicest music of the great composers, Porteous manifested as little of the proverbial English stiffness as tt is possivie for | an Engiisbman to exhibit. He was genial and jovial with every one, and talked on poetry, music, art, religion, travel, &c., with the treedom and — ease of one who was thoroughly conversant with | his themes. It was plainly maniest that his learn- | | ing and culture are too broad and extensive to be confined within the limits of a single church or | creed, and every one wno formed his soqaaintance | last evening left him with the kindliest feelings of | friendship and affection. Some of the breturen present fave utterance to those feelings in words of greeting and encouragement. And | these greetings were not contined to one demon- stration, but all present felt the bond of Christian | love binatng them together as brethren. The Re- | formed church found a moutipiece in Drs. Carroll | and Ingersoll, the Baptists in Dr. Jeffrey, the Pres- | byterians in Dr. Clark, the Con; ‘ationalists in | Deacon Hutchinson, the Methodists in Judge Rey- nolds, and Mr. Tuttle and the Anglicans, in their | truest and purest embodiment, had in Dr. Porteous _ himself their abiest exponent of Catholicity and Christian brotherhood. The reception and greeting were so hearty and so unexpected that the Doctor could not reirain trom expressing his own deep sense of the obligation the breturen had | | imposed upon him by the broad Catholic senti- | | ments they had uttered toward him. Catnoiicity, in its true sense, must be the prominent element in the church of the future, and as a representa- | tive of that Catholicity the brethren expressed their joy at the measures which are being taken to | retain Dr. Porteous in the city of Brooklyn. He could not have had a@ better advertisement than | the correspondence between Bishops Potter | and Littlejohn bas given him. ‘hat corre- spondence has made a Christian hero of a very modest, gentlemanly minister, and has made tor hin a friend in every man outside the pale of the church governed by those two prelates. Their | action was fitly characterized by brethren in con- | versation last night, and no doubt Bishop Little- | john’s prophecy wiil be fulfilled, that as tue cuse | how stands it wili destroy his diocese, A well laden supper taoie, on which silver sylphs and marble Apoilos bent almost beneath the bur- | den of fruits, flowers and confections, gave | zest to the speakers and hearers, and drew torth | the thanks of the company for tne grand hospi- tality of the Rev. J. Halsted Carroll. | FATHER STACK'S DISSENSION, WILLtaMsrort, Pa., March 12, 1874.
