VIRGINIA, Interesting Interview with General J. D. Imboden. A POLITICAL REVOLUTION BEGUN. The Color Line Substantially Broken Down. More Independence and Less Party Lash. Ricamoxn, Noy. 20, 1875, Political matters in Virginia continue to be 1m a most disordered conaition, though the uewspapers, particu- larly the party organs, are significantly silent on the subject, Their present policy of ostensible indiffer- ence tothe disruption of the conservative party is | probably the wisest course that could be pursued an- der the circumstances, ag they are aware that any dis-\ cussion or agitation of that matter would not only keep the party feuds alive, but also hasten the de.” struction of the organization, which they fear, From present {udications the Legislature will have its hands | politics will be inently conservative and and gentlemen will premium, for a negro left to his own feelings and judgment hates and despises apy white man who is not @ geotieman. Entertaining ‘these opinions | think politics are so far loosening in Virginia that the people will no louger take the worst man for the sake of party when a better man can be had without mjary to the country. In short, conservatives “don't seare worth a cent’ now when somebody yells, ‘Radical! radical!” just because a bottur man is running “independent” tn spite of some rin@nominations. In our folks are beginning to prosecute people who cheat for the sake of the conserv- ative party, This is # bold step, but John Wise, a chip of the old block, is doing st, and he’ll win. INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL JOMNSON. In view of all this, I sought the most distinguished conservative leaders in Richmond, to ascertain their The first of these that I found T. Johnson, who 1s one of the r the Senate that was declared ed in the election on the 2d inst. “Do you think the recent election has impaired the color line in parties in this State, or broken the organ- ization of the conservative party,” I asked. General Joanson—I do not think the color line has been much impaired, judging from the result in this city. The mass of the negroes voted for the inde- pendents, [ think of the vote for that ticket more than 3,500 were black and not 700 white. We, on tho contrary, got fully 4,500 whites, not over 300 blacks, ‘The blacks were rallied a few days before the election by their leaders in a remarkable way, 4s it is proved | that they voted as largely for Knight and Starke (inde pendents) as they did for Burgess (republican) for Con- | gress last fall, alter a heated Congressional campaign. | Asto the effect on the couservative party it has been bad. | Numbers of men have been anxious for years past to | bolt and go over to the negroes. There are 90,000 | solid negroes, rank avd file, im this State without leaders, ‘The carpet-baggers and scalawags heretofore in charge of them have generally been men withcut force, talent or character, There aro notable excep- tions'to this, bat they are few, Ivhas been apparent | that deserters from our ranks could go over to the ne- | groes, take charge of them, expel the carpet-baggers | conservative party, was General Bradle regular candidates e full when it meets in disposing of contested seats growing out of the recent independent movement in | various portions of the State, In many of these cases it-is expected néw elections will be ordered, which will have the effect of renewing the bitter feeling be- tween the factions and consequently of widening the breach between them. Virginia leaders are noted | for their tact and shrewdness in the management of political affairs, aud with unity and discipline the con- | servalive organization defied all the efforts of the re- | + publicans to control the State, backed as the latter were by the power and patronage of the federal gov- | ernment Now, however, mutiny has appeared in | their ranks; several feaders and men of great political | mfluence have rebelled against the party authority, | and “when Greek meets Greek then comes the tug of | war.'? The fact is that the republicans became go fee- | ble as political opponents that the conservatives had to Gght among themselves, and in doing this, whether by | Mere accident or intention, they succeeded admirably im entering the wedge of TOTAL DISRUPTION 4m both parties, Among the leaders of the independent ®movement in this city who attained marked notoriety ‘and great prominence as a writer and a speaker during | the recent contest. was ex-Confederate Gen- eral’ J. D. Imboden, On this gentleman | the Heratp correspondent culled to ascertain | his views, and in reply toa general inquiry as to the condition of the political parties he said:—“I have par- | ticipated very little in the politics of Virginia since the | ‘war. My party relations, sympathies and votes have | aturally been with the conservatives. Asa people we ewe much Lo that organization It established and | maintained the ascendancy of intelligence over ignor- | ance, and in the main of honesty over dishonesty in | ‘the administration of our State government.

Numbers of good and honest men sided with them this time who will not do so again. They are good men who have been carried off by a whift of passion, but the leaders are gone. Many have got their pretext for deserting which they have been anxiously looking for, and they will try their new allies. It will not jeopardize the State in 1876, which will vote for the democratic candidate beyond doubt, but it will organize a new party which will hereafter have to be fought and whipped.” A DEFENCE OF THE PARTY, Judge Jobn A, Meredith, who is chairman of the State Conservative Executive Committee, was next called upon, and im answer to the question’ whether, in his opinion, the race line is broken from the fact that the negroes voted sq extensively for conserva- tives ‘running as independents, he said:— “No; in 80 voting the negroes adopted the party tactics usually pursued in such cases, lp all political | contests the party in the minority generally votes for | those who run as independents against the regular nominees of the party in the majority. It is done as the most effective means of creating dissensions in the party in the majority, and ultimately destroying its | majority. I think, then, that their voting for indepen- dents, even though they voted as extensively us you Seem to suppose, does uot warrant the conclusion that the race is broken in this State.’? ® “Has not the conservative party been badly dis- rupted by the late independent movements bere and elsewhere in the State ?’? “No, The fact that in some localities independent can- didates were run against the regular nominees does not views on the color issue and the distuemberment of tho | ‘€alled into existence to avert the calamities with which | indicate a disruption of the conservative orgauization ‘we were menaced by the recoustruction measures of Con- | in the State. This will always be the’ case with a party gress, that at one time threatened us witha fate simi | ving a large majority and where the strength of their dar to that which befel some of the more unfortunate Beuthern States. The imminence of the danger com. Dined meu of all shades of political opinion into acom- | pact organization to fight on | THE COLOR LINE. | The issue was not of our seeking, but was forced upon | us by the malign influences brought to bear for several years after the war by unscrupulous political adven- | turers upon the ignorant, easily misled and confiding hegroes, These adventurers swarmed in the wake of the retiring federal army aud sought by every artifice | devilish ingenuity couid invent to solidify the black ele- | meut in onr midst as a.foundation on wiich to plant themselves securely for @ general assault on the little property and credit of the vanquished The ‘white people of Virginia combined to resist this thing , and called’ their organization ‘the conservative party.’ They were successful curely, ~hites, , We now see the State se- | ately aud permanently in the bunds of the woxnENT—But do you not think the color line, | 1, the organization of both parties, is broken | Thighs ‘t of the late elections?

In a gubernatorial or Presidential contest these local issues and personal objections will be forgotten, and the party willagain rally to its organization. I therefore express the opinion that the conservative party has in no de- | © gree lost its ascendancy by reason of the election of a | jew independents, and that it may be coniidently | counted upon for the democratic candidate for the Pres. | idency in 1876, and, if the third term be an issue, by a | largely creased majority,” = THE PARTY BADLY “JARRED.” ~ oy.

Scott, setting forth the advantage to the country at large and to the govern- ment from the construction of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, was read. The Committee on Resolutions then presented the following report:— APPEAL TO CONGRESS, This convention of delegates, duly appointed from thirty- one States and Territori many cities und Boards of Trade, Merchants’ Exchanges and other commercial bodies, consti: wutine a body of #09 delexates, representing: not only a Large proportion of the people ot the United States, but of the ac- Uve producing business capital of the country, und now as sembled to take action upon the construction of a s line of railroad to the Pacific, do respedtfully the Senate and House of Representatives of, States in Congross assembled, that « Southern Trans-Conti- novtal Railway from the waters of the Mississippi vin Paso to the Pacific Ocean, ou or near the thirty-seeond pal lel of lutitude, is imperatively demanded.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET. A DOUBLE HOLIDA The National Thanksgiving and New York’s Evacuation Anniversary, HOW THE OCCASION WILL BE OBSERVED. To-day is a day of thanksgiving. The highest au- thorities of the land have recommended its observance as a holiday, and hence it will be everywhere observed. To-day the sturdy New Englander, no matter how far away, will seek the place of his birth, and this day, perhaps for the first time in many a weary month, tho dusky denizens of the coal mines in Pennsylvania will come up the shafts into daylight, will leave the “breakers,” and, donning their Sunday apparel, will tramp into hundreds of gnining villages to pass a brief period in enjoyment and merry-making. In- deed, wherever floats an American flag, no matter how distant the spot or how insignificant the territory, the morning sun will disclose to view every true born Americah celebrating the day after bis own peculiar fashion. The noble example set by Governor Brad- ford, of Massachusetts, in the year 1621, has ever since been annually observed by the sons of the pil- grim Puritans. The custom has now become national, and probably it will continue to be observed until the disruption of our Republic, or, in other words, until “the Almighty ceases to operate in temporal as well a8 spiritual afairs.’? THE DAY IN NEW YORK. ‘There wag an unusual number of people found hurry- ing out of town yesterday afternoon, All the steam- boats and steam cars were greatly overcrowded, Every one met upon the street seemed to be deserting the city, bearing a mysterious bundle under his arm to make glad the heart of some one he loved, Yet no matter how many people depart trom the me- tropolis it always appears to be full, and hence it is that the day is ushered in with salute after salute, and the most extravagant display of bunting, for aside from commemorating an ancient New England usage, this day is an anniversary of the EVACUATION OF NEW YORK | by the British army in the year 1783, Then on tho | 25th day of November the British troops who had oc- | cupied the city almost without interruption during the Revolutionary war, prepared to take their le not willingly, for aside from the humiliation of defeat was the disinclination of the officers to leave what for them had all along been exceedingly pleasant quarters, The British left at noon, very sullenly; but previous to thelr departure they hailed their tlag to its staif on the Battery, removing the balyards and greasing the pole; but the American veterans of the hour, not to be bated, made a raid upon the nearest hardware store and a mau was soon found who climbed the flagstaff, nailing sleats as he went, until ually reaching the top he tore the British flag trom its position and placed the Star: and Stripes in its stead. As the British departed Gene- ral George Washington, at the head of the patriot troops, entered the city. and established his headquar- ters here until the memorable day when he took leave of his officers and departed for Annapolis to surrender bis sword to erence VETERAN CEREMONIES a Commemorating the above mentioned event American flag will he raised at sunrise by Adjutant Gould Warren on the old fort in Central Park, a chimes will be bin ip several church steeples. ‘The veterans of the waf of 1812 will meet at Military Hall at noon, and thence will proceed to the Continental Hotel, Broadway, where they will partake of a patriotic din ner, tendered them by Messrs.

The air at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is filled with rumors of active naval preparations in distant yards fo" warlike movernents; but, then, affairs move on monot” | onously and without perceptible stir, A strong gang of men are briskly preparing the frigate Trenton for the day fixed for her launching, and it really looks like war times on her decks and sides, There isa vigor and zeal exhibited on thia ship which really suggest haste and even anxiety to get her afloat on the part of the naval authorities, ‘ Besides the men engaged on the new frigate a gang. of calkers and riggers are at work on the Supply, a storeship, fitting out forthe Mediterranean squadron, “or elsewhere,” to carry provisions, &¢ On the Hart- ford, also, a large number of calkers are at work putting the decks in order, and the old ship will, doubt- Jess, bo in excellent condition within ten or fifteen days, if necessary, The crew has not as yet been or- dered to the ship, but will be ready to be placed on board as soon as she is prepared to receive them, While there appears to be, and really is, no bustle or push in any department at the Brooklyn’ yard to sug- gest a thought of any possibility of war with # oreign Power, tho last intelligence from the department and from foreign nations would seem to point to the lack that the government is concentrating on this coast nearly its entire nayal force. Orders have been sent to the South Atlantic squadron, Rear Admiral Le Roy, to return home at once, leaving only the despatch steamer Frolic to fly our flag on that station, This order will bring home the sloop-of-war Brooklyn, flagship of the South Atlan squadron, the corvette Monongahela and the sloop of-war Ossipee, the latver on her way out, but intercepted by telegraph. From the European station the frigate Congress has been ordered home, and, what is the most significant of any order yet come to light, the balance of the squadron, consisting of the frigate Franklin, flagship of Rear Admiral Worden, and the corvettes Alaska and Juniata have been ordered out of the Mediterranean, where their winter quarters are, to the Tugus, off Lisbon, there to await the development of events The department is evidently not inclined to leave tho active cruisers of the European squadron in @ veritable cud de sac, where they may be captured or shut up by a more powerful enemy, with- out being able to fight with good prospects of success or to run away with reasonable hope of escape, The Mediterranean is not, at tirst tussle, the place for & small squadron of American men-of-war, even if Spain is our antagonist, She has a numerous and pow- erful fleet in her own waters, and it behooves the cautious Admiral to keep a roomy offing with his ships when the Cadiz dons come out into the Atlantic with their fast English built iron-clads, Lisbon is, there- fore, a better place, in case of trouble, for our European naval headquarters than Villafrunche. At Norfolk, it is*understood, no orders have been re- ceived to fit out the iron-clads collecting there, although alarge number of officers have rendezvoued under or- ders to serve atseaon anumber of monitors there. Supplies and men are said to be at hand to put the fleet of monitors at sea ata very early day. Some officers have suggested that perhaps Venezuela was the point of naval attack if the claims of the United States are not paid, but the return of the South Avlantic squadron offectually removes that suspicion. ‘The orders sent the European eS to point clearly to Spain as the country which our govern- ment is taking precaution against, and that is the: com- mon belief in naval circles, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, MARRIED.
