WEDNESDAY JUNK 16,1ST0, The Act for Electing the next President. The net to enforce the fifteenth amendment seems to be quite a favorite law with the Republicans of New York. Almost every day we see some allusion to it in the papers of that city. These journals seem to think that it will secure to them what they term fair elections. The Democrats, of course, are not so verdant as not to know that a "fair" election, as that adjective is understood by the Radicals, is an election which results in the choice of the Radical candidates; and therefore they are not disposed to look with favor upon the new law. They have heard how Congress carried some "fair" elections in the reconstructed States. They see men representing States which disown them-as, for instance, Ames, a State of which he can hardly be said to be a citizen; and Revels, a negro, the same State; and various carpet-baggers and adventurers other southern States, The Congress which admitted these worthless vagabonds into its halls, and which recognizes them as the representatives of States that would, if free, send gentlemen to the National Legislature, is the Congress which passed the act to enforce the fifteenth amendment as a means of purifying elections and securing a fair expression of the will of the people ! That such a Congress was moved to the performance or this deed by any regard for the welfare of the country, or any desire to learn and obey the will of the people, is what we suppose no sensible man of any party believes. We have the highest authority for advising such reformers to take the beam out of their own eye before they undertake to remove the mote out of their brother's eye. And as Congress could not pass such an act without usurping powers which do not belong to it, and to exercise which it has no more right than the " repeaters" of New York have to vote a dozen times per day, it is not to be expected that the people of the cities which are hereafter to be compelled, in violation of the Constitution, to vote the Radical ticket, will recognize Congress as the proper body to regulate their local affairs or " purify "their elections. We were about to say that this is one of those acts which will return to plague the inventors-meaning thereby that it would tend to destroy the union of the States. But we imagine that the present rulers of this country would very willingly risk such a "plague" if they could by risking it perpetuate their own power even for a fewyears. At any rate, the prospect is that the law will result in estranging the affections of many of the northern people from their now idolized central government, and in causing them to dread it as an unmanageable enemy rather than a protecting friend. It will have a tendency to open their eyes and enable them to see what southern statesmen had the power to foresee long years ago, and will thus not only liberalize their feelings towards the opponents of centralization in this section of the country, but will teach them that they have not hitherto understood the true nature of our Federal Government as it was intended to be by those who established it; for in the North even the Democrats have always been practically consolidationists. The act of which we are speaking would unquestionably be pronounced unconstitutional by any judge not biassed by partisan feeling. There are a few sections in it which are not open to this objection; but these will never be enforced. In fact, it would be next to impossible for a case for the courts ever to arise under these sections. The first two or three, the seventeenth, and several other sections, are constitutional; but these will never give the people any trouble. As, however, nearly all the Federal judges are partisans, the law will stand. It will be found, however, totally ineffective, as, perhaps, it was expected and intended to be ; but it will have accomplished the main purpose of those who framed it - namely, the familiarizing of the minds of the people with the idea that the National Government may rightfully interfere in State or even municipal elections ; and then a law will be passed which will place the entire machinery of elections in all the States in the hands of the agents of Congress. Such a law will be no more truly unconstitutional than is the present one, and the people who have no more sense or spirit than to submit to the latter will submit to the former. Will New York city allow Congress thus to stifle its voice? Will the people of the country justify Congress in so doing? We know not. We do know, however, that the southern people's voice has been thus stifled for years, and that the people of the country have seemed to approve of the infamous deed. Perhaps the question will appear in a new light when the persecuted and wronged parties are northern men. We shall see. It at least requires no prophet to foretell that if the northern people do submit to such acts of usurpation on the part of Congress, it will not be long until that body may safely pass, under its appropriate title, "an act to provide for the election of a Radical President." The telegram in reference to the reapportionment of representation in Congress which appeared in the Dispatch of yesterday came to hand after our editorial paragraph on the same subject was written. According to the telegram, the bill before Congress provides that any additional representatives to which a State may be found entitled are to be elected at large. If so, the Conservatives will certainly have it in their power to elect these additional representatives, as we have a large majority in the State. The districting of the state was however, so badly done by the Underwood Convention that the work ought to be done over as soon as possible. Since writing the above we have received a copy of the bill, and find that it provides that the additional representatives shall be elected at large "unless otherwise provided by such State."

Pobtkr Pictured by a 'Publican.?The Buffalo (N. Y.) Commercial, a Republican paper which does not always allow its prejudices to blind its eyes, thus hits off PoBTim: "If he suffers from 'ostracism' now, he labored hard to secure a perpetuation of political disqualification and proscription then. We are inclined, therefore, to receive his story with a speck of allowance. He has been a political Ishmael ever since he went to Virginia, and the chances are even that the ostracism he complains of is like the persecution under which Maynard suffers in Tennessee. It means that hestands but little or no chance of a reelection to Congress." Porter is no representative of Virginia. He is despised, not hated, by nine white men out of every ton in his district. He was elected by negro votes. We do not suppose that he received the votes of a hundred white men out of the six or seven thousand such in thU city. The entire amount of taxes paid by the men who elected him to Congress, including Federal^ State, and municipal taxes, would not begin <&? <? : "* ' ' ' \ ' ? '1- . - ' ' . li

i manliness, or of that high tone which once belonged to congressmen, he would scorn to?it in Congress under such circumstances. u-. ? Quick Work.?The census bill just passed by the United States Senate provides ?'that the superintendent of tho census ?? shall, 1>eforc the 10th or September, sub- *< ra{(, to the Secretary of the Interior a pre- " liminary report of the results of the cnui{ meration of tho population, so that the " Secretary may ascertain the basis of re- ** presentation of tho States," &c. In reply to a question. Senator Trumbull said he expected the returns to be in time to enable the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, to elect their next Congressmen under this biU, and uftder the new census tables. Other elections take place on the second Tuesday in October. The new bill provides not only that States entitled to additional members shall elect such by general ticket, but that States losing representatives shall so elect all of their members. The present House of Representatives consists of 240 members. As under the bill just passed by the Senate it will consist or 300 members, we may expect much filibustering hereafter, or else rules so stringent that the House will no longer be a deliberative body. The larger the body the less debate will be allowed. At present the House is a mere piece of machinery?soulless, heartless, and dead,?worked by a few leaders. If such a thing be possible, it will be less liberal hereafter. By the time the Democrats obtain control of it the House will be the most efficient and most supple tool ol tyranny that the world has ever seen. And won't we help the Democrats to work (he wires?

General Grant's Cuban jiessage.?Our telegram of yesterday gave a synopsis of the President's Cuban message. The message enforces what we have so often said as to the character of the so-called war in Cuba ; but as we hold that neither a President's message nor anything else can raise that contest to the dignity of a war, and that there is really nothing in such a broil worthy of public attention, we do not choose to curabcr our columns with the ! message, good and sensible though the views are which it takes. Good fok Greeley .?The Tribune of yesterday, speaking of whittemore, but including the whole tribe of vagabonds now misrepresenting the South in Congress, s tys: " We utterly and vehemently protest 44 against assuming any more party respou"sponribilities in behalf of the carpet-bag ft congressmen." No wonder Mark Twain tinds so many men in the world who cannot appreciate his jokes.

He said that inasmuch as prominence had been given to his remarks made yesterday in reply to the Senator from Kichmond (Mr. Courtney), he would say that he intended what he then said only in a spirit of badinage ; intended no personal reflection, and believed that no illigitimate or unfair means had been used by any one to carry any bill.

WASHINGTON NEWS. Corrcspaiidencc of the Richmond Dispatch. Washington, June 13, 1870. President Grant rosllea home from his trouting excursion as fast as steam could bring him, and fired the hottest shot into Congress this afternoon which has been sent out of the Administration " peace-maker " since it came into power. This was the message 011 Cuban affairs, and related solely tQ that subject. Everything that Grant has done from the announcement of his Cabinet to the present hour, in the way of official actions, has brought consternation to the ranks of the party which elected him as well as surprise to cv?ry one else, and creates as much comment to-night as uui tho first veto message of Audrew Johnson of the bill organizing theFreedmen'sBureau?the messages differing in the fact that Johnson took a direct issue with Congress, or, as the Radical members were pleased to say, detied its authority, while Grant attempts to drive the legislative branch of the Government into the support of his foreign policy, which is not only different from the majorities of the foreign committees in each House, but from the majority of Congress also. Even Republican members who have been loudest in their praises of the Administration complain that Grant has taken an unfair advantage of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, whose report, previously submitted, was set for discussion to-mor-row. The Democrats in both Houses were also astounded at the appearance of a document so uncalled for, and, consequently, so thoroughly unexpected. Representative Cox said it was the most impudent message ever sent to Congress, while Senator Thurinan denounces it as a proclamation to the Cuban people to lay down their arms. It is well*, however, to await for the developments which will spring up from the discussion this remarkable document will receive. Considered in its effect upon the party organization, it may safely be asserted that it will hurt it. The people of the country seem almost everywhere favorable to the patriotic people of Cuba, whose efforts to relieve themselves from the weight of Spanish tyranny can receive no encouragement from the Administration. The President' cannot hope to aid his St. Domingo hobby by declaring against the recognition of the Cuban belligerents. The case of Pat Woods comes up to-mor-row. Congress is making of him a more important individual, by immolating him upon the altar of Porter's revenge, than the humble policeman might perhaps have ever attained. As it is. he is getting to be very much of a white elephant" on the hamls of his captors, the majority of whom evidently think that there is 110 glory in his incarceration either to Porter or Congress. " Why didn't Porter whip him, and make no more fuss about it?" says one. "Because he was afraid!" says another. And here results a case claiming the attention of Congress and the country which might have been settled by the exhibition of a little se-cond-rate "spunk" on the part of a member of Congress. The efforts to get an appropriation for cleaning out the Appomattox river failed to get in the river and harbor bill; but appropriations were made for surveying the James, Rappahannock, and Appomattox. Now that the President has returned to Washington, he will not leave again before the adjournment of Congress. Timon.

Lexington, Va., June 13, 1870. Our town is having a full benefit ot courts. During the whole of last week Judge Edmondson (our new county judge) had a session of his court, at which he disposed of a large number of cases, chiefly criminal. Mr. PlunkettO'Ferral, indicted for shooting the negro Harris, of which we gave you an account, had his trial and was triumphantly acquitted. This week Judge Barton, of Fredericksburg, is holding a special term of the circuit"court to try those cases in which Judge McLaughlin has been interested as counsel. Our community has been favored with a visit from the venerable Bishop Johns. Yesterday (Sunday) morning he preached at the Episcopal" church, and confirmed eighteen?amou" them a distinguished professor of the Virginia Military Institute, and a number of students and cadets. Last night he preached before the Young Men's Christian'Association of the College, bylspecial invitation. The churches of the town all suspended their usual service, and the College chapel was filled with an attentive congregation. Taking as his text I. Peter iii., 15, (**{e Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you"**) he refuted the slander that Christianity requires blind faith without reason?showed the reasonableness of the Christian's faith, bringing out the salient points in the evidences of Christianity, and earnestly and feelingly presented the elements and value of the Christian's hope. It was a simple, touching, gospel sermon, and it was to be deeply regretted that the feeble voice of the venerable man of God prevented many of the congregation from hearing him.

Beard and one op nis Pals on their Travels?They Ride Through Lynchburg in Broad Daylight.?Great excitement was caused here about 12 o clock yesterday by the arrival of Mr. Joel H. Campbell, and"Mr. Robert Christian, of Amherst, in hot pursuit of the notorious horse-thief, Lueien Beard> and one of his pals. It seems that yesterday morning Beard, accompanied by his companion, who is unknown, passed the "Follv," in Amherst, thirteeu miles from the city, each riding a horse supposed to have been stolen in Nelson. When they passed the place each had a mask, but a short distance this side they removed them, and Beard was recognized by a gentleman who met him. This gentleman went on to the "Folly," obtained the aid of Mr. Christian and another gentleman, and the three started on the trail of the scoundrels. Unfortunately the horse of the third gentleman broke down when about five miles from this city, and the delay occasioned in the effort to obtain another, gave Beard such a start1 that he could not do overtaken. He and! his companion crossed the James, river bridge three-fourths of an hour in advance of Mr. Campbell and his party, rode lei-' surely and deliberately up Bridge street to Main and then to Fifth, up which they turned, and all trace of them was here lost. As soon as Mr. Campbell arrived the police were iuiormed of the facts in the case? and though an active aud close search was instituted the daring rascals could nowhere be found. It is believed, however, that they made the circuit of the city until they reached the Richmond road and then struck out for that city. Just across the bridgo Beard stopped at the grocery of Jlr. Peter Kesler, called for a drink of whiskey, and tendered a fivedollar counterfeit note in payment. The bogus character of the note was at once seen by Mr. K., and he refused to receivo it. In payment of his bridge toll Beard tendered to Mr. Chenault the same note. | but he also declined to change it. Beard then told him he would return in the eve- ? ning and pay the toll, and then rode off. We take occasion to warn our country friends to be on their guard against these desperate scoundrels. They have been operating in this section for several months past,"and in the neighborhood of the Folly, in Amherst, within that time have stolen some fifteen or sixteen horses, only lour of which have been recovered. In the surne time otiici section* of the country hereabouts have suffered to an equal extent, causing universal alarm amongst the peoSle. Such outlaws should be summarily calt with.?Lynchburg JSfews. Homicide in Spotsylvania.?Last Saturday a crowd of six or seveu persons started out in a wagon, anion" whom were C. J. Watson and Mr. Whackinhouser. They got out to a spring above Mr. Robert Slielton's, and stopped to get some water, and probably to take a " drink," Mr. Whackinhouser "having a jug of whiskey. There had been an old grudge, between the gentlemen, which, had remained unsettled. Whackinhouser said to Watson : "There has been an old grudge between us long enough. I had rather have two black eyes than lor a man to refuse to speak to me." Whereupon Watson dresv his knife and stabbed him twice in the right side. The wounds are said to be painful, but not dan- ! gerous. Watson made his escape, and has not yet been caught. The wounded mau came back to town on horseback, and tlio wounds were dressed by Dr. C. A. Jones. He died Sunday.?Fredericksburg Ledger. Death of Colonel Robert Garland.? Colonel Robert Garland died yesterday morning at the residence of his sister. Mrs. Charles R.

Before the war he was an officer oi l the United States army, but resigned to light the battles of his Htatc at the beginning of hostilities.

Fire in Lynchburg.?Tlie store of L. L. Goodman was burned Monday. Mr. Goodman lost his stock of groceries, furniture, clothing, and books and papers. The groceries and furniture were insured for $<550 in the Continental and a like sum in the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company, which, it is believed, will fully cover his loss.

Foul Play.?The Pearisburg Gazette sa> s a short time since two little girls, ayed eight and eleven years, living on Salt-Pond Mountain, by the name of Willis, were missing, and all attempts to lind them, so far, has proved in vain, and it is now believed by the neighbors that their step-father, a man by the name of Miles, hud murdered them. * The cause and circumstances of tliis foul deed, or the grounds upon which suspiciou is based, is yet unknown, but time will develope the facts. The Hail-Storm.?At half-past 2 o'clock P. M. Saturday we had a violent hail-storm at this place that lasted for a quarter of an liour, and must have done much damage both to the wheat and the corn crop. The wheat was about in bloom, and the corn, at about the age that such hail as we had, coming with a fierce wind from the Southeast, would shatter and tear to pieces. This is particularly discouraging, as our planters depended solely on theee crops to relieve them from debt. We pinecrely hope the storm was not general.?Cvlprpcr Advance.

TO pS KSftV0U8??Tho natural of effllfbiitiom^rtreogtti try excessive labor or actjwr-l? a tf&iog of weakness, dullness, [heaviness, :#*ftr1nes*, Sangor of body or mind, Ac. Persons of a Iteak constitution or whose habit* are so Jon t&ry l&gtwrftty complain of this related condition Of Of vita! energiarrfina when persons of a nervous temperament are thus weakened and debilitated, disease Inevitably follows, unless It is at once checked and overcome. An who Buffer from these cause* alike require a remedy Which will strengthen the system without exciting It, and awake a feeling of true enjoyment so that life may bccome a source of pleasure. MISHLEB'S HESB BITTERS has won Its way Into the oonfldenceof thousands of this class of persons, who warmly endorse It as the best Invigorating agent and the most potent and genial of all tonlos.aodalcerativcfl for strengthening and restoring the physical, constitution. Je U-deodAwiw BET THE LIFE-SUSTAINING ORGA.NS.~Thc two organs which minister mostdU rcctly to tbesupport of the body are thesioina h and liver. In the former the first process of digestion takes place under the action of that powerful solvent, tlie gastric Juice. "Thence the food, converted Into a pulp,. passes into the duodetfhm, where It Is subjected to the action of the bile or gall flowing from the liver, and of the fluid generated by the pancreas or sweetbread or the system. These secretions separate the nutritions portion from the rest, and It Is then taken up by t ic absorbent vessels and conveyed into the channels of circulation in the form of venous blood Willie the wasn matter is discharged through the bowels. Unless all these processes are duly performed disease .of some sort Is lnevltijlc, and the best of all medicinal agents for p eservlug or restoring the tone aud regulating 11 je action of the three organs?the stomach, liver, and Intestines?by which the three-fold work Is I ! carried ou, Is HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT- I TKR:4. Indigestion Is generally accompanied by c Histipatioii, and the geutlecethartlc operation of J the bitters Is no less Important In eases of this kind than Its tonic effect upon the stomach and the biliary gland. Beauty of person as well as 'health depends In no small degree upon the resu- ' larlty ol th? excretive function?. A sallow complexion, a thick, opnquo, coarse skin, a tainted lireath, rush of blood to the bead, loss of memory, headache, and extreme mental depression, are the uaml accompaniments of costlveness. A course of the bitters will infallibly relieve and finally banish these obnoxious symptoms, while invigorating ibe stomach and promoting healthy action In the liver. Tills genial vegetable stomachic and attentive strikes at disease in Its primary sources, the assimilating, secretive, aud expulsive organs, and the enres It effects are consequently thorough and complete., ? . . ,t je 13?deod&wlw ; A *? asr DRESS GOODS!
