li6rln the recent elections throughout
Virginia in many of the counties prominent
officers of the late Confederate and Virginia
State Governments have been returned to
Governor Pierpont as elected. He has• re
fused to issue commissions to such persons,
and declares the offices vacant and orders

shown for the Constitution has arisen from a
want of proper consideration, and quotes the
section under which they are disqualified
from holding office, viz :—"No person shall

The full returns of the State have not yet

PHlWEtsliktlA CORRES • e iVDENbEi,
PHILADELPHIA, August 7.
tditen—ls it not a little strange that,
•whik. the sentiment of monarchical England
is tending towards an extension'ef the right
of suffrage, there is an effort being made, by
some of the' leading politittians of ourftte
America to restrict the same Esien
President Johnson is reported to be not on
ly noncommittal an the negro suffrage ques-
tion, but says that "the sentiment of the.
country at piesent , appears to tend towards
a restriction. rather than an extension of the
_right of suffrage generally." ' The politicians
of the copperhead persuasion, and a number
in the Republioah ranks "who crook the
t-Itinges-of-t-he-kne- •
follow fawning," aie attempting to mislead
the workingmen of the North,.by infiuene-*
ing them against free and equal suffrige.—
Now, we warn the "bode and sinew". of the
country against , the teachings of these men.
In the South, the slaveholders were no soon
er in the habit of justifying negro slavery
than they began to :claim that all laboring
men white and black — ought , to be slaves. At
the beginning of the Rebellion this had grown ,
into a general conviction among them. Just
so the men who now wish to deny the right
of suffrage to the blacks will presently go a
step further and seek to deprive also the la
boring part of the white population of the
same right. "The negroes ought not to
vote," say certain men, but let them once
succeed in establishing the general principle
that the suffrage may be limited, and that
certain classes may be excluded from the
poles, and they will be able to extend its ap.:•
plication, and by some property or other
ivalification confine the franchise to a small
part of the -community, "the most
intelli
gent," or "the property owners," or whatev
er it may be: Even now, those who do not
want the blacks to vote freely admit that a
great part of the whites are as "unfit" as
tliCirregiroes - to exercise the right of suffrage,
What pretense could be more absurd than
to deny a man this right on account of his
color; next it 'will be lack of education,_ and
next lack of property, and so on to the drea
ry end. I will not trespass upon your col
umns further than to warn the working
masses whose prejudices are chiefly appealed
to. Let the-motto of the free people of this
country be, "Free and equal suffrage, now
and forever!" Vote-for no demagogue who
would deprive you of this right. •
.It appears that the rumored arrest of the
"chivalric" Moseby was a mistake. So this
man, the murderer of hundred of Union men
and fhe destroyer of millions of property be
longing to tire (government and to loyalists,
is permitted to practice his profession and
live at ease undisturbed, .in Virginia. Mc-
Causland, the incendiary and robber, it is
said, is permitted also the. same thing
This man ought to be placed in the
. hands
of the citizens of Chainbersburg, who would
no doubt see to it that he was properly pun
ished.
In noticing the prevailing fashion of dress
ing among ladies, a week or two ago, I ven
tured to give my opinion of the "waterfall,"
which, you will remember, was not :very fa
vorable. Some one has taken up the 'cudgel,'
however, for the "puddin-bags" as Josh Bil
lings persists in calling them, and says they
are not only pretty, but conducive to health;
that they are the best developers of the chest
that are known of; that they keep the head
back, and in consequence the chest is well
thrown . out; that he dont know what the be
witching creatures put in them, but they
now•a-days carry their heads as erect as a
soldier on dress parade, with a martinet for a
commander; that instead of being scoffed at
and made the theme of sport on the part of
the masculine gender, the water-fall style of
doing up the hair should be encouraged• un
til every woman in the community shall have
adopted it; that he doubts not the effect
would prove most satisfactory, and that A
merican women, now noted among foreign
ers as being the most consumptive in the
world, would speedily become as robust and
athletic as the charming mountain fairies of
Cireassia. He says it is not often that fash
ions, especially those followed by the fair
sex, are promoters of health; but id the pres
ent instance there is an exception. He
thinks the water-falls should be encouraged
—the larger and heavier the better. Not
withstanding this we adhere to the opinion
that the "waterfalls" will die a natural, fash
ionable death very soon. "The sooner the
better•" says your correspondent.
Some folks are .always predicting evil and
meeting trouble halfway. The Asiatic Chol
era has appeared in Europe, and, say, these
croakers, it will soon visit us also. The cul
tivation of a little temperance, regularity,
and cleanliness would do no harm if, , the
scourge should not visit us, and would. do a
great • deal of good if it should. Let our
cities and towns be kept thoroughly clean.

DISLOYAL PREACHERS.—There iti trouble
among the parsons in Missouri. The new
Constitution requires them to take an oath
of loyalty. Otherwise they can't lawfully
preach or perform any other ecclesiastical
service. But a great number of them have
been Rebels from the beginning. They can't
swear to the contrary. Accordingly they.
threaten to bid defiance to the law, and keep
pulpits and their salaries in . spite of the Con
stitution. We fancy this little clerical rebel
lion won't amount to niuch. The people and
authorities of the State cannot be safely tri
fled with. The ministers must either take
the oath or seek new fields of labor. Nor
do we believe it would do any great harm if
they were never to pray in.public or preach
again. There has been too much Rebel talk
in Missouri, and in some other States also,
and now is as good a time to stop it as we can
hope tor.—Clticayo Rtpublican, July 26.
Tho constitution of Massachusetts contains
the following article, defining the' tight of
suffrage: .
ART. XX. No person shall have the right
to vote, or be eligible to office under the Con.
stitution of this commonwealth, who shall
not be able. to read'the Constitition in the
English language; and write his name.

Criminals, the worst ever allowed to breathe

turned to' the goddess of Liberty as she was
ascending the scaffold for execution, and ex
' claimed, "Oh Liberty what crimes are cons.
mitted in thy . name." Think of it. The
very men who shot down our brave boys, tore
down our bullet torn and' blood stained flag,
starved our soldiers by thousands and hun
ted the living with revolvers and blood
hounds, murdered the garrison of Fort • Pil
low, Aid blew out the brains of the greatest
man who ever breathed upon this continent;
they, are pardoned, and sent forth on a • new
career of crime, as fiends, fresh from the pur
liens of the infernal regions. But la day of
reckoning will opine. The finger of God,
the Infinite and Eternal, has written "ven
geance" upon the head-boards of the sixty
thousand skeletons that sleeps at Anderson
ville. ' Even in' the North we find a great
deal of solicitude for the health and comfort
of "petticoat Davis," though we hear nothing
of his complicity with, nay, authorship of
that infernal system Of torture, which sent
the 'deadly bullet crashing through th e

they crawled toward the stagnant pools of

POLO lll's Aug. 4th 1865,
The Boston Post says it is 'reported that
a monument is to be raised on the s4p of the
dark prison pens at Andersonville, in com
memoration of the victims who have perish
ed within its precincts. The idea is a capi
tal one. Those who there died as much de
serve monumental honors as those who fell
in the red conflict of battle. They constitute
the true martrye of the war. Victims either
of neglect or infernal malice, their: memories
should be doubly consecrated with us for
whom they died, of loathsou.e diseases and
starvation. The historical portraiture of
the. war would be incomplete though every
battle-field and every hero of the late war had
each a monument, it the victims of Anderson
ville had no monumental mark. In pain and
in sorrow they pined and languished; ant lan
guishing, they dies. But their memories
will perish not: The whole region around
the Anclersonville Prison shoulbe consecra
ted to their memory, that all hereafVr, to
the latest ages, shall approach it as holy
ground. •

NEW YORK TREASON:'
• The Jeff Davie Meeting. ''
New York 'Evinitig Post of last night
has the affidavit of Mr:' Robert &Vivo . , who
oniintitation; participated in the meet ing, of
the, friends of Jeff , Davis, on : , Broadway on
MondaY last. He says there priiient at
the meeting Messrs. , gideen J„Tucker, Sur
rogate of the county, Theodore Mortice,
Peter Y. Cutler, Clancy Douglass, Robert M.
Livingston, of. Mobile, and many others.—
Mayor Gunther bad said he would attend if
business did not detain lath, and that he was
"entirely in union and sympathy with the ob
• aof the meeting " Southern friend• -
side were admitted, when the , doors were
closed., The object of the meeting was to
raise funds for the defence of Jeff Davis. It
was said that "the celebrated trial of Warren
Hastings would sink into insignificance oom
pared with that of Jefferson Davis."
Mr. Cutler declared the Declaration of In
dependence to be the Magna Charta of hu
man liberty, and quoted it to prove that the
Southern States had the to secede.
A Now Yorker remarked that "the State
of New York refused to enter the Federal
Union except the right was assured to her to
withdraw if she thought proper."
Livingston, of Mobile, said he, had, read
the constitutions of the different State, - and
found in several of the constitutions of the
free States the express right to secede.
In running conversation it was said that
"the effect of the trial of Davis would be a
revolution of sentiment everywhere in favor
of the South. It would be proved on the
trial that the Secession cause was right and
entitled to the sympathy of the world." Liv
ingston, now wrought up to the highest pitch
of enthusiasm, made the declaration;—"ln
twenty-five years the man that now accuses
the South of having committed treason will
-be looked upon as a mad man and a fool."
He repeated this statement, saying that in
fifty years there would be this revolution in
popular sentiment.
A New Yorker denounced the execution
of Mrs. Surratt as "a cold, deliberate mar-.
der." Another declared that she was con
victed upon forged testimony, Martine as
serted that the Cotirt by which she was tried
had no legal jurisdiction, and that the exe
cution was a deliberate murder.
Livingston then said that ha• conversed
with a number of Englishmen with regard to
this brutal murder. They told him that it
would send a thrill of honor throughout Eu
rope, and the howl of indignation, that will
be sent back would so cower and terrify the
American Government that it will borafraid
t 3 bring Mr. Davis to trial.
He believed that the intention was to-keep .
him lingering in prison till he died, without
bringing bim to trial. The friends of Mr.
Davis must keep such an agitation of the
matter stirring that the Government would
be forced to put him on trial without further
delay.
Livingston was asked how Alabama would
be likely to vote at the next election for mem
bers of Congress? "They will return a solid
delegation of staunch and true Southern
men," . he replied. Working himself up into
another fury of enthusiasm, he declared that
3,500 noble, lion hearted Southerners had
kept at,bay for many months, an army of 75,-
000 Union troops. Mobile only capitulated
when she was worn oit - and exhausted. He
paid a glowing tribute to the "noble hearted
women of Mobile." "They look down'," he
said, "with scornful contempt upon a Yankee
officer and suffer no advances from them,
taking care, of course, not to give cause or
pretext for arrest. The feeling is universal
that no Yankee must be allowed a
foothold in the South.
"Gentlemen, you will want a great deal of
money. lamon my way to England for the
purpose of raising funds. Thia great work
must go on; the Government must not be alt
lowed to shirk the trial. I can promise'. you
with confidence that I will furnish you with
the requisite amount."
A New Yorker said there would be no
difficulty in raisingtthe money in New York
city.
The Southern men present were all of
them open and avowed Secessionists. ' The
Northern men were in the most perfect ac
cord of sentiment and symgathy - with them.
The affidavit of Mr. Brown is sworn and
subscribed to before a notary public of the
city of New York.
Lynch Law. ,
Terre ITaute, hut., Aug. 4. Yesterday a
paroled rebel prisoner, named Miller, who
had induced a Mr. Gregory, proprietor of
the Spencer house, in Louisville, to visit
Shelburn, Sullivan county, twenty miles be ,
law this city, under pretence of selling. him
some I.nd, attacked. Gregory murderously in
the woods near Shelburn, beat him nearly to
death, stabbed him several times and robbed
him of $9O and his watch.
The people turned out, caught Miller, had
him identitiel by Gregory, and hung him on
a tree near the spot where his crime was
commited.
Faint hopes are enterthined of Gregory's
recovery.
PAYNE'S FATHER.—The Florida Union
says that the afflicted:fathcr of Payne, the
would-be murderer of Secretary Seward, has
been making a visit to lacksonville, in that
State. The Union says: "The father of
Payne . called on us one day this week. He
esides on a plantation three miles from Live
Oak station, on the Pensacola and Georgia
railroad. He lost one son at the battle of
Murfreesboro; another returned home maim- ,
ed for life. 'Lewis' was his only hope in his
old ago. The afflicted father was a Baptist
minister, as has been stated. We must ne
cessarily pronounce ;just the terrible punish ,
ment•of.the son ; but we cannot withhold our
deepest sympathy for the heart strieken .pa..
rent, or esteem him less as a worthy man and

simile, of the bill. The general appearance
of the bill is also very good. The green ink
is of a somewhat lighter shade than that used
on the genuine, and some parts of the note
look scratched and blurred. The Sgures 1
on the scroll work on the lower ; right corner
of the note are printed in green; in the genu
ine they are white. ,The iace of Chase, in
the counterfeit, is badl . t executed; but other
wise. the 'work is well dope, and • the note well
calculated to deceive. . • .
