DAILY DISPATCH. VOLUME 29. RICHMOND. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1806. NUMBER 202.

WEDNESDAY MAY 9, 1866 Letter from Hon. John Letcher on the Condition of the Sentiment in the State. Lexington, Va., April 25, 1866. Thomas Shankland, Esq., New York City: My Dear Sir,- As I have heard nothing from you since my reply to your letter of the 4th of January last, I have concluded that owing to the great derangement of the mails it has failed to reach you. I therefore write again, hoping for better luck this time. Everything is moving along very quietly in this part of the country. The people are orderly and law-abiding, fulfilling strictly the obligations they have assumed to the Government of the United States, As an evidence of the feeling which exits, I send you so much of Judge Sheffey's charge to the Grand Jury delivered here on the 12th instant as relates to the freedmen. This charge has been universally approved by the bar and the people, and will, I am sure, command your approbation. I sent a copy of our town paper containing it in full to the President, and requested him to read it. Much of the ill-feeling manifested by the Radicals toward the people ol the South grows out of the misrepresentations and slanders prepared and circulated by the agents of the Freedmen's Bureau. They desire to retain their positions, as their duties are light and their pay good- better, indeed, than they can hope for in any other business. Hence the persistent efforts made by nine-tenths of them to prove to the authorities that our people are disloyal. Sooner or later the minds of the Northern people will be disabused, and we must be patient until that time shall come. As to the firmness, courage, patriotism and integrity of the President, there is no division among our people. They have entire confidence in him, believe he is endeavoring to save the country by a restoration of the Union, and while, under present circumstances, they can render him no material aid in the struggle with the Radicals, he has their best wishes for his success. My time and attention is devoted to my profession, and will Ik* so devoted the residue of my life. 1 have not attended public meetings or discussed politics since I was paroled, nor have I cast a political vote since May, 1861. I have no desire to meddle in politics; iu the first place, because by the burning of my property here by General Hunter, and the confiscation ol my property iu Washington, I have been pecuniarily ruined : and secondly, because 1 cannot see that I can be of service t<? my own section or the country at large. The only service 1 can render is to give the country the benefit of my example, iu showing a proper respect to the laws of the land and a practical obedience thereto. I will be glad to hear from you at all times. 1 am truly your friend, John Lktciier. _ - Rath Kit Mixki*. ? The United District Court convenes at Norfolk, Ya., to-mor-row, Judge Underwood presiding. Chicl Justice Chase declines to preside until he can be assured that martial law isahrogatcd in Yirginia. As there have been conflict - ing decisions iu the M ar Department and by the commanders of military departments as to the effect of the peace proclamation ' with regard to the restoration of civil law in the States lately in rebellion, the Chief Justice does not feel that it would be seemly for a Judge of the Supreme Court to attempt to hold court whilst a doubt exists as to whether marti.il law is abrogated or 1 1? ?t . ? 1 \trri'spuU(ltnc? -Vic 1 or/>' / iiiws. i\th. This whole paragraph assumes that Chase and Underwood sit in the same court. The writer does not seem to know that there are two United States Courts held in \ irginia ? a circuit court and a district court. Petersburg Charter Elections. ? Day before yesterday the Petersburg charter elections took place. Charles F. Collier was elected Mayor; John 11. Patterson, Sergeant ; T. F. Goodruin, Chamberlain ; Thomas E. Drinkard, Collector; various individuals to minor offices; and A. M. Keilev to the House of Delegates (which last, by the way, spoils our heading "charter elections," as we must say to prevent Keih y from reminding us of the fact himself). Mr. Keilev is the man whom the Danville paper accuses of writing so much editorial, we believe. lUf say, his editorial is unusually good, " what's of it.''

Anniversary Week in* New York. ? This i>? the week so celebrated in the Empire City for the nppcarauce of white cravats, distinguished darkies, and well-known orators, upon its streets. Any number of benevolent, philanthropise, and Christian societies are to have anniversary meetings this week. Many of them are rather political or fanatical gatherings than what they purport to be ; yet some of them are of a very different character. If we find any matters of general interest in the proceedings of any of them, we shall notice the same for th* benefit of our readers. Methodist Protestant General Conference. ? Sixth Day. ? In the Methodist Protestant General Conference, at Georgetown, D. C., on Monday, Rev. Dr. Murray read a letter from Rev. George Nestor, President of the West Virginia Conference, in which the president of that district expresses his regret that the Conference is not represented in the General Conference, but urges that the West Virginia Conference be recognized as still in connection with the General Conference, as before the next General Conference that Conference will be all right. Several ministers expressed doubt as to the propriety of a full recognition ot the Western Virginia district until more official information be received ; to which the body assented, and upon recommendation of Mr. E. F. Westfall, of West Virginia Conference, it was agreed to unite the counties of Greene and Fayette, l'a., to the West Virginia district. Coi'xr Gi rowski. ? Thank your, Mr. In. due. We kuow him now ? " a live Russian Count who wrote anti-slavery articles by the square yard for the lYibunt" &c., &c. Enough said. Forney was right in praising him. Masons Cared For. ? A correspondent of a New York paper, writing of the graves of Federal soldiers at Salisbury, N. C., adds : I should here state that those of the prisoners who were Masons are buried in another enclosure, each grave having its head-board bearing the square and com|>ass, as well as the name, company, and regiment of the dead." Ex-Governor Lowe, of Maryland, was on Saturday last admitted to practice in the several court* of K? w York city,

Young Men's Christian Association.The annual meeting of this Association was held last night, the President, Colonel Lee Powell, in the chair. When the meeting was called to order, a hymn was sung, and prayer offered by the Rev. Dr. Gwathney. The President then presented the annual report the Association, an abstract of which is as follows : In giving the reasons for the present apparent want of zeal in the work of the Association, the President mentions the unsettled, unemployed condition of many of our young men as the most prominent. These noble fellows, he says, who, through years of privation and danger, illustrated all the virtues of Christian heroism, are, many of them, so impoverished as to be denied the privilege of renewing their membership with the Association, while others seem to have been so stunned bv the results of the war as to have lost the energy with which to engage in even works of Christian charity. An earnest appeal is made to the business men of the city to encourage and uphold the efforts of the Association, claiming that no men in the community are more benefited than are those who employ men, in having thrown around them such influences and restraining associations us must guard their morals and keep them from the haunts of dissipation and dishonesty with which out unhappy city is now cursed. Fathers and mothers are urged to induce their sons to become members of the Association, as affording the means for cultivating all the noblest affections of the heart and of learning early the lesson of self-denial and unselfish labor for the good of others. A feeling allusion is then made to the many members of the Association who have defended, even unto death, their convictions of truth, justice, and duty, in the late war, while the surviving members are urged to take their places again in the ranks to contend against the world and the devil, both of which enemies are so busily at work in our midst . Allusion is made also to the dangerous work being done by volunteer philanthropists who, having no ignorant or poor people's children at home to need their charity, have inveigled into their traps the children of too many persons willing to have their children taught on the simple condition of paying nothing for it, and who are paying the fearful penalty of having I those children taught to hate their own homes, their own friends, their own fathers honor; and by being compelled to attend the Sunday schools taught by these selfimputed humanitarians, there hear that universalism and unitarianisin are the only true varieties of religious faith. How can any Southern man, says the report, expect his child to be taught truth, historical or religious, by persons entertaining the bitterness of feeling such stragglers do feel towards the South, or who teach the religion, not of God, but of New England ? An amendment to the Constitution, in relation to the number required to form a quorum of directors and members, was then proposed and adopted. After a long discussion in relation to the propriety of making a report to a conven- , tion of the Voting Men's Christian Association to assemble at Albany, the whole matter was referred. The following officers were then elected? Colonel Powell not being nominated at his : own request : President. ? Asa Snyder. ^ ' Vice-Presidents. ? I). I.ee Powell, . II. j Clemiuitt, G. L. Bidgood, A. Boiling, J. J>. Watkius. Treasurer. ? T. B. Baker. Pf/Lstrar. ? J. R. Moore. Librarian.? K. R. llowison. Directors. ? C. F. Winston, W. IT. Tyler, R.C. Nicholas, W. S.Gordon, W. Willis, Jr. ( 'orres-pondinti Secretary.' ? B. 1'. Howard. Recording Secretary.?.) . E. Burress. The meeting then adjourned. It is extremely gratifying to us to find that, through the generosity of friends, the library of the Association has been so largely replenished. The valuable library of about four thousand volumes was burned on the 3d of April, 18Go, but it now numbers one thousand volumes, and is being added to daily. In addition to these advantages, the reading-room of the Association is furnished with sixteen papers, daily and j religious, and with five of the foreign j reviews. Two verv large and well-ventilated rooms have been fitted up for a library and read, ing-room, which afford a delightful retreat from the noise and heat of the streets; and we are glad to sec that by a recent vote of the Directory the privilege of subscribing to the library and reading-room has been ( extended to persons not necessarily mem- j bers of the Association. This noble association of Christian brothers was untiring in its efforts to provide forEthe wants of the poor and in nursing the sick and wounded during the war, while its members also established schools at the hospitals, and held in many of them regular religious services. The objects of the Association are such as must commend themselves to every good man of our country, and we call upon every one who can spare a dollar, to help its officers in extending its usefulness. We observe that the Association numbers but about tour hundred and thirty, 1 while before the war it had enrolled nearly eight hundred members. Let the young men of the city hasten to seek membership. Business men wanting clerks will surely prefer to know that those to whom j they entrust such valuable interests are i Christians and active members of the j Young Men's Christian Association. Nkw Pashknocr Cars.? Mr. William N. j Bragg, the efficient superintendent of the roadway of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad, has just completed a train of new and beautiful passenger cars, : which will run up to Ashland this after- , noon, leaving here at 4 aud returning about 7 o'clock. We shall be along, and shall have something to nay to-morrow about the WCWfMt .)

Sunday School Exccmiox and Pic- 1 xir.? Yesterday morning the , children of . the Sunday schools of the L nited 1 resbyterian (Hcv. Dr. Read) and of the Second Presbyterian (Rev. I)r. llogc), accompanied by many beautiful young : lad ea, made an excursion to Ashland. The ? xeurnionista, of whom there were m.t bun- 1 dred and fourteen, were to have started at 8 but by unaccountable delajs they did not f?ct "If until nearly 10 o'clock, ; when the signal "All aboard was gi\en, and the train, with its precious load of linppv beings, started oft under the eont nil of Captain James Kind, a courteous and efficient conductor. At about 11 o'clock, Ashland, that quiet and dclighttul little village, was reached, and the children, after disembarking, nang the hymn ?' Beautiful River." This was followed b> an appropriate prayer by the Re>. Dr. Branch, and another pretty hymn. Dr. Read then delivered a neat address to the children. Afterwards, Dr. Hoge addrcssed them in a very amusing and instructive discourse, interspersing it with pleasant anecdotes, to the great entertainment of his voting listeners. # After the religious exercises were over, <.vervbo.lv gave themselves up to all sorts ( of innocent amusement. The young folks , frisked and gamboled about on the green , irrass, the stronger ones amused themselves bv rolling ten-pins, while the more sentimcntal ones divided themselves in pairs, | and might have been seen in the more distant parts of the grounds in close and apparent Iv earnest conversation. At halt-, past 2 o'clock dinner was announced. JNo second warning was needed to get all , hands together lor their ride, and the pure- , country air, coupled with their cxercise. had , given the excursionists good appetites. | Ml went to dinner in order, and after the j blessing was asked by the Rev. Dr. Read such another attack as was made on the truod tilings (which were in abundanci) I \ si, land has not seen for many long days. , \t 1 o'clock the children were again as- 1 seiubled, and after repeating the hymn " Beautiful River," got upon the cars to return home. In a little while the iron- j horse cave a snort and a pull, and before the hour was out the happy party was sate , and sound in Richmond. Cuter it Court ok Richmond JvnoE Me- j KKTHTii presidino. ? In this court yesterday , the petition of Judge J. M. Gregory, asking | payment of the remnant of salary due him , as Judge of the Sixth Circuit during the existence of the Confederate Government, , was argued by Messrs. Steger and Sands fur the petitioner, and Thomas R. Borden, ) \ttornev-General of Virginia, lor the Comnionwealtli. The Judge will render his decision in a few days. j The petition, which was drawn by Judge , C.regorv himself in a most able manner, t bases the claim upon the ground that the j petitioner was a Circuit Court Judge be-! fore the war; that his term did not expire j during the war; and that his term of o ice had not expired at the time that the Auditor refused to pay the salary then due. it . was argued that the ordinance ot the Wheeling Convention vacating all oftices j the incumbents of which had .not taken a j prescribed oath did not apply to the case of the petitioner, as the oath had not been ; tendered him, and he, the petitioner, lnnl therefore had no opportunity ol taking or refusing to take the prescribed oath. M ,\ yob's Court.? Mayor Mayo held his j court at the usual hour yesterday morning, and disposed of the following business; j There were live eases on the docket in j which charges of slander were , against the parties concerned, llislloiioi stated that he had nothing to do with , them, ami told all hands to "go about, their business." , William Adams, negro, was charged j with assaulting a negro woman, and was required to give security for his tuture croud beliavior. . i n Gustavus Allen and O.

It appeared from the evidence that I hand- 1 ler beat the poor child with a strap and . buckle in the most inhuman manner. lie was found guilty and sentenced to live j tlavs' imprisonment and a line ot twentjtive dollars. The Court stated that the , line would have been heavier and the nil- - prisonment longer but that the prisoners , motherless children were entirely dependent upon him for their support. , llleaal Shooting.? John Blair was tried upon the charge of shooting at a sow and pigs the property of Mrs. Shelton. lie was lined one dollar and costs. Jieatiivj a Justice.? John Lumpkins and Thomas Shepherd were tried upon the , charge of assaulting and beating Justice Waldrop. It seems that some dogs belonging to the accused hunted Mr. W aldrop s hogs, and were shot by him. The accused felt aggrieved, and gave the Justice a sound ; thrashing. The Court fined the accused ( thirty-six dollars and costs.

On yesterday afternoon, while some repairs were being done : at the Kocketts Mill Distillery, the cap of j the still blew off, severely sealding Mr. William Rock, one of the operatives, on the arms and right leg. I)r. Waring was called in, and linseed oil and other remedies were applied. Unfortunately, however, the ef. torts of the surgeon produced but little ctt'ect,and it is feared that Mr. Kock's injuries M ill prove fatal. Liberal Coxtri b itiox . ? W e published a few days since an appeal from the Literary Society of Washington College for contributions to aid in restoring their library and hall, which were destroyed by the Federal troops, and we are glad to know that public attention is being directed to this subject. Our townsman, Mr. Mason Loeb, of the tirm of Loeb Brothers, has sent the committee fifty dollars. We hope to record the names of many more gene- j" roils contributors to this fund. State Licexheh ix IIenrico County. ? On Saturday next the sheritF and commissioners of the revenue of the county will meet at the court-house to issue licenses to all who have not yet procured them ; and as this is the last op|>ortunity that will be offered to save payment of a double tax, those who are required by law to obtain licenses to do business in the county should avail themselves of it. The court will also meet that day for the pur. " application* fvr per.

Seventy-Third Anniversary op the 1 Richmond Lhiht Infantry Blue*.? -The 1 seventy-third anniversary of the " Blues" will he celebrated on to-morrow, the 10th I May. At 10 o'clock, A. M., the company will assemble at the City Hall, and will j then march to Hollywood Cemetery to decorate the graves of their comrades who are buried there. At half-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon the anniversary dinner of the company will be given at the Exchange Hotel. Captain C. P. Bigger requests that [ Indies who are willing tocontribute floorers for the purpose of decorating the graves of j the 44 Blues," as proposed, will be kind enough to send them to the City nail by 10 o'clock on to-morrow morning. On the 10th May, flowers and wreathes will of j course be in general request, but we are i sure that some will be contributed in j memory of the gallant " Blues" who fell in the war. Fishixo in the River.? Some expensive amusements and pleasures are now denied us, and it may be all for the best, but it is a consolation to know that the turbid James still remains, and while we can enjoy the delight of fishing in its troubled waters, at least one innocent and economical recreation is still within our reach ! On yesterday there were forty-four boats , each containing on an average four persons, between Mayo's bridge and the island below Roeketts, and the occupants of each boat were busily engaged in fishing with hook and line. Among the fishers were a number of ladies, who had apparently given up the practice | of being fishers of men, and devoted all their energies to the capture of the finny j trilte. The dear creatures gradually be1 came interested in the sport, drew off their spotless gloves, refused all assistance from their escorts, and baited the hooks and i hauled in the fish with their own dainty I digits. They forgot that even a May sun will produce freckles, and seemed to care but little whether their hands became j browned or blistered. All that they wanted was t?> catch something or somebody, and one young lady boasted that she had caught i tirenty.three fish, and would have had ticenty. four but that one unruly fellow slipped through her fingers. It is stated that the fish are so plentiful this season that the paddles of the steamers on the river kill large numbers of them ; and although we do not vouch for this, it is certain that men and boys, not to mention the ladies, catch large quantities of them every day. Notes ? Since writing the foregoing, one 1 of the piscatorial young ladies has called ! to say that although "Lucy" did catch I twenty-three fish, she herself had caught one big fellow that wore bifurcated garments, a glossy beaver, and sported an attenuated cane. We offer the fair incognita our congratulations, and wish the same good fortune to all her companions. The S vst km of Police Appointments. No doubt has been expressed as to the general efficiency of the police force of Richmond ; and so great has been the confidence inspired by the restless energy of the Chief, and the zeal and integrity of his officers an?l men, that every citizen has appeared willing and determined to afford them all the j aid and support in his power. There are ; still, however, some apparent defects in the system, and to these attention is now called. According to the present charter of this ] city, the Mayor is head of the police, | "and shall have a general superintendence and control of said police, pursuant to the ordinances of the city"; and it does seem that it would be far better for the Chief of Police to be in name and tact head of the force, he reporting direct to the City Council. Such a change as this, however, could not, it is presumed, be made without the action of the General Assembly. Under the existing ordinances, the Mayor has all appointing power, and appoints at will sergeants ami privates, not exceeding in all the number allowed by the ordinance. To this ' practice there is apparently the greatest objection. The Chief of Police is person- . ally acquainted with everyone of his men; j he sees them at all hours and under all circumstances; and surely he can tell what man best deserves promotion, and will best discharge the duties of that posit ion, with far more certainty than the Honorable Mayor, whose only connection with the police is when lie sees them in the court-room. Iii the hands of the Chief of Police alone the jiower of making appointments and promotions should lie. He would then be directly responsible for the men whom he chose ; and the experience every man in Richmond has had of his good sense and judgment is a sufficient guaranty that every appointment and promotion would be made with the single desire of securing the best men for the service of the city. It is hoped that the Council will take up this matter at their next meeting, and make the amendments proposed.

Keep to the Right. ? The streets of Richmond are gradually becoming more crowded, and this renders it more necessary than ever that any rule should be adopted which will save trouble and eonfusion and practically increase the convenience and comfort of every pedestrian, j It is not at all unusual to see two persons walking in opposite directions meet t'aee to face ; and then the difficulty is for each to pass the other. One steps to the right and the other does the same ; they meet, bow, dodge to the left, and meet again ? I till, in despair, one stands still and allows the other to pass him. The streets are also encumbered, particularly on Sundays, with scores of sauntering negroes, who have no idea beyond that of spreading their dignified rotundity over the whole sidewalk ; and this is another objectionable feature which may be removed. If every person passing along the streets will icalk on the right-hand side of the sidewalk, and always pass to the right of any ? one that he may meet, there will bo no ; more collisions, no more loss of time and temper, and no more unpleasant brushing against the garments of the great " emancipated." This is a very simple thing to do! It cannot well be enforced by an ordinance, and must depend for its general adoption upon the good sense of the people and their desire to save themselves all unnecessary discomfort and inconvenience. This matter may appear at the first glance to be of but trivial importance ; but if every pedestrian in our city will determine to keep to the right for only a week or a day, the convenience resulting from it will , be so great that there will then be no j danger of the recommendation to keep to ! the right being again disregarded. Recollections or "Stonewall" Jace- I son. ? General R. E. Colston announces that he will deliver his lecture entitled | " Personal Recollections of 1 Stonewall ' I Jackson, and a Critical Discussion of his j Military Character," on to-morrow eve- j ning, in the lecture-room of Dr. Duncan's Church. This lecture has already been 1 delivered in this city with great success, I and it is repeated in order that many per- ; sons who were unable to attend upou the I first oceasion may now have an opportu- j nity of hearing it. To-morrow is the third anniversary of the death of " Stonewall" Jackson, and it is appropriately ! chosen for tire delivery of a lecture^ upon , his character and maimers by one wfio was so long and so intimately Associated with Mm, j \ , < . 4

Thk Hot-beds op Pifbasb in Rittf- ' movd. ? Although the Board of Health and police force have already done ninch in j improving the sanitary condition of the city, there arc some few favored localities which imperatively demand their imme- } diate and earnest attention. The princi- j pal of these are the following : House in Exchange alley, occupied en- i tirely by negroes, of whom it contains | more than one hundred. There is a negro - hall in this house nearly every night, and j it is the frequent scene of riot and disorder. As may be imagined, the whole of the house is in a terribly tilthy condition, j Fortyujun Battery, on Main street, near Rocketts, is occupied by white women of notoriously abandoned character, and is in every way adapted to foster and propagate disease and sickness. Booms over BusktWs Stables, on Wall Street. ? These rooms are densely packed with negro men, women, and children, who j sleep, curse, or drink during the day, and ! riot and raid at night. The staircases and ! passages are used for the most disgusting purj>oses, and the whole building is a nia>s of dirt, filth, and corruption. No one can realize the condition of these rooms, which are about twelve in number, without making them a visit. The places we have mentioned arc in ! many respects the worst in the city, and j we cannot in this paper give adequate I public expression to the state in which they have been found. No simple cleaning out , will be sufficient for these dens of iniquity and dirt, and the only sale remedy is to compel the landlords to reduce their ten- i ants to a reasonable number. It is pre- ! , sumed that an effort will be made to clean | : up the Lumpkin's-alley rooms and the rest of them, and it should be done at once. Every day that is allowed to pass increases the danger to the city, and no better birth-place for the cholera or fevers , could be found. If, under the present ' law, the police and Hoard of Health have not power to compel the landlords to tiu u out the negroes who cause the abuses of j which we complain, the City Council j should at their next meeting take the matter up and grant the authority to take such steps as may be necessary to insure as great a degree of safety as is possible to every man, woman, and child in Richmond. The Board of Health will do all that they can, bill it is useless to expect them to keep the city | in a healthy condition if one house is to j continue to be occupied by a hundred or more of dirty, careless, irresponsible negroes.

Sat.es op Real Estate Yesterday. ? Messrs. Grubbs &. Williams sold at auction yesterday the lot on the northeast corner of Cary and Second streets, fronting fifty feet on Cary and running back one hundred and fifty feet on Second street to a wide alley, for fifty dollars per front foot, or two thousand five hundred dollars.

The same aue- [ tioncers sold to the same purchaser the j adjoining homestead, fronting seventy-one feet on N street, and running back one hundred and sixty-five feet, for one thou- 1 sand and five dollars. Crime in 1Iexrico. ? The docket at the | present term of the Henrico Quarterly Court is unusually large, and as the court can remain in session but ten days, it is probable that many of the cases will be continued. The county jail is full of prisoners, but most of the offences are of a minor character, and only one white man is in custody. The Theatre. ? The Hidden Hand and Somebody Else were well rendered to a good house last night. Miss Western appears to-night in her favorite character of | Xaramattah, in the Wept of WLsh-ton-Wish. Robert Ihicaire will also be produced, with Mr. Heme as littbert and Jim Wells as Jacques Strops-. Boot-Stealixo. ? Theodore O'Keefe was arrested on yesterday, charged with assaulting and taking away a pair of boots from Wiley Timberlake, and, after being examined before Justice Wade, was bound over in the sum of two hundred dollars for future good behavior. Police Appointments. ? Private Dudley Oilman has been promoted to be Sergeant of Police at the Third Ward station-house, vice Moore, dismissed ; and Mr. Montrose Angle has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Sergeant Gilman. Tiie Masonic Educational Convention meets to-night at 8 o'clock, at the City Hall, to receive and act upon the report of the committee appointed at their la*t meeting to devise a school system.
