Richmond Dispatch from Richmond, Virginia • 2

ftf 1 itoiitl .1 im Didn't Make It. The Ultra Radical vomphumng of the TTpmr Governor Wells for course with reference to the constitution tuid its proscriptions, rays: Governor Wells had no ayvjicy In framing tin freliadnn conlrofnml no part in contriving Its provisions." I said but, iwwerthclew, fhc Gwfcriibr' luis approved of the fabric, and pronounced it a thorough shield for the "titlly Anil, furthermore, lie stud to uv the Committee of Reconstruction on the 20th of January last I think the Republican party stronsr enough (o firry constUutlon with the i stricken out. with tlie allies It would receive: hut I do not think it would accept the constitution thus amended." Again "Question hv Mr. Boutwell: Tills constitution disqualifies tWm holding office a large uuinherof persons who part let pat I in the relx-lllon Answer by Govern Wells sir. "Qui-slion "by Governor Iloutwell 'the question is this Whether at this time it Is safe, with reference to the interests and rights of the loyal men of Virginia, to remove these disfranchisements and disqnalldcniloiis absolutely from these persons "Answer by Governor Wells: I it it nut safe As lute, then, as the 20th of January he didn't want to unmake the constitution, or any part of thought it was necessary, without alteration, to protect loyalists, and that they would be in danger if it were changed.

Nor did he change this view, or profess to change it, so far as the world knew, until the Conservative Convention met, withdrew its ticket, and adjourned. Then he came out against the very clauses in the constitution which he had upon his solemn responsibility as a witness before an important committee of Congress declared it would not be safe to take out of the constitution. Why was this announcement, involving a gross inconsistency, made just at the time it was? Did the action of the Conservative Convention, as it left but one candidate opposed to Governor Wells in the field, render it necessary that he should play for a jmrtof the white vote by declaring in favor of striking out the sections which he had so recently represented as indispensable to the safety of loyalists? Was it under the then changed state of the game, with the view of saving he announced his readiness to strike out those clauses, the striking out of which, in the same testimony above referred to, he solemnly asserted would be absolutely fatal" to Virginia loyalists? It ho spoke truly in this testimony he has been, guilty of base treachery to those loyalists" whom he styles white men of the State of Virginia, distinguished for their character and experience." But inconsistency and treachery arc alike easy to a man who makes his own personal ambition and greed the guide of his conduct irrespective of truth and honor. Whether lie made the constitution or not he sec ins to have made the most out of it; having been both for and against it. Who can tru-t a man Wells.

The charge that Wai.ker is the consolidation caudidate is played by Wells and his as though it wore a trump. And yut this Governor Wells went into the chair of Governor of Virginia as a friend of consolidation, ami acted with the consolidationists tip to, or near about the time when a Mr. Wilson, stock-jobber and railroad schemer, came to this city aud essayed to buy up all the railroad stock held by the State. Then there came change and why was this change? Echo would reply, Change." Echo is not often a prevaricator but there may be a more just explanation yet if anybody can oiler it we would be glad if he would at the same time tell how was it that Governor Wells was for many months in this city employed to defend every case of infraction ol" the internal revenue laws, and that all those he so dofended escaped convict ion in some way or other? First, wjiy could no other lawyer get one of those cases Secondly, why were none of QoVcmor Wells's clients convicted? Satisfactory solutions of these things would very much help Governor Wells. Rut about consolidation.

Friends of consolidation were induced to solicit Governor Wells's appointment to the otliee he holds, aud he for a long time continued the friend of consolidation in entire harmony with the advocates of that system of railroad management. As late as the loth of November last, the Petersburg Times, then and now the Radical Wklls organ of that city, said "There ran be no question that the interests oi' SoutUsl'le, a lid we believe of all Virginia, demand consolidation and as there lias yet been no aetion in regard to consolidating the stock of the various rompiinicK Composing tlio line from Norfolk to Bristol, the only way to thcde-lrcd object Is to milte'f he three roads under otic I 'resident. We heartily indorse and approve the course of Gdvernor Wells, however, iindn-suroour friends lhat he fa wing every intxtnx fr promote the interests (f coiiHufidatiohS1 i We do not know what effect tlio charge that Walker now entertains the same opinions that Wells did at so late a period may have but most coming from him, with his record before the country, it docs not in any item nor commend him to the confidence of thq opponents (if consolidation. They must he indeed confiding to put faith'in a aumw ho exhibits such facility of change. like chastity, is not susceptible of such changes.

Broken once, it is dead, and not to be trusted again, lint the coolness of raising a complaint that Walkhh entertains the views that Wells so recently enforced isamongtthc coolest things of this age of'effrontery! An to Walker's consolidation views we know nothing: He was nominated, in this city hy a body of. men of whom General was not one; and as we learn, the question of consolidation was never dreamed of, a large part of those present being opposed to consolidation. We do know, however, that Walker is a determined advocate of equality and justice to the railroads anil to the public in the mutter of railroading. He is for the reciprocity in railroad operations which is enjoined by every law on the subject, and pledges himself to enforce it as far as lies in his power. In view of the vlfal before the wo ask pardon for giving to this subject so much sinic.c.

Some persons have made it a pretext for attempting to rtlride the Conservative strc tro- when selfishness is their lav.G motive, lint we cannot believe the, people to any extent will allow themselves to he diverted from the grand labor of saving the by. this miserable cry of "consolidation." There could be nothing more inopportune or repulsive, The Wells Game. A report in another column of this (lav's Dispatch shows the troubles that now beset the extreme Kadical candidate for Governor, ami also tin? adroit movement bv which lie essays to of the principal one of them. He projioses to stand before the public on the Oakland letter in opposition to the disfranchising clauses, while it is to be understood that the party shall vote for the constitution without modification. Exactly That is What this paper said Would be the WxLLft.ticket?the "little joker" of the campaign.

And thus the "gentleman from i must, according'to providential disixmsuticifl, continue to bolster up his 0 cause, which, in and must ho midnttiipqd and fraud until the and crushes it. 1 3 Wo see that ftdBRht, hphf this i now of Washingtonr'foolc itionspicuous I part in Hjc Wtffi no personal unkinduess to that gentleman, it seems to us that a strict sense of propriety would have htm fro leave us here in Virginia to get along as well as may.

(r.

KrypiN publishes in yester? day's Enquirer a written in his terse style, detailing the purport of various interviews of committees and persons with General Grant on the subjert of the objectionable clauses in the Virginia Constitution, and how many of them should be submitted to a separate vote. Kcciting especially what General Grant said on the subject of the "county oiganizntions'' clause, its inapplicability to the Virginia population, and the dangers which it threatens, Colonel Hi kkin makes a serious complaint against the President because it was not included along with the articles ordered to a separate vote by the proclamation. The tone of the letter shows not only the disappointment of the writer, hut much feeling. Under all this, however, he displays his good sense and his 'devotion the welfare of his State by declaring that he will heartily continue to struggle with the party now endeavoring to do the best for the Commonwealth. So that here we have the happy application of the word Notwithstanding." Colonel Riffin savs Recognizing In President Grant tlx- man who had forced General Lee from the clutches of Andrew Johnson.

Hint Tin: central In fhejfa days of live now papers and cnterp rising reporters, politicians, who love, darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil, find it a hard matter, indeed, to keep the proceedings of their secret caucuses from being spread before the people, whom they are wire-pulling to hoodwink. This remark is suggested by the precautions taken at a secret meeting of the Wells Lt.de Central Committee held a day or two ago? the curtained windows, the locked the posted sentinels, anil the vows of secrecy made by even- spite of which a full and reliable account ol their transactions is this morning in print for the edification of the voters of Virginia. TnK SUA DWELL LETTER. To underhand what follows it is necessary for the reader to know that the letter ol General Wells to Garland, of i wherein he proclaimed his conversion to i the doctrine (hat all political disabilities should be removed from Virginians, didn't fall with pleasing oiled upon Ihc great body ol' liis adherents. In fact, it was very near i creating an open revolt in the ranks, i'ro-1 minent negro Radicals did not hesitate to 1 say that Wells had gone hack on the and mul tarings of discontent with the nominee were heard from every part of the State; nor did Underwood's following suit make the matter any better.

Finally, the subject was broached at the meeting the Executive Committee, Humphreys, of the custom-house, leading the rebel's, and it was through his efforts that a meeting of the Stale Central Committee was railed to take the test-oath and disfranchising clauses under consideration. Now, this Stale Central Committee was some ago remodelled, and the members loudly imagined that they had gotten rid of all the so-called respect ability that had embarrassed them in the past, ltut not so. They came together on Ihc 18th, and there, in their old places, were Chandler, Jenkins, Hond, Dudley, and Haskell, fast friends of WelD, supporting his Shad well letter, and, with proxies in their hands, claiming the right to talk and vote as members. were ready to light the outspoken prescript ioni-ts from policy if nut from i principle. BURGESS HESITATES.

The meeting was called to order by Colcetor Burgess, who is the chairman of the ommittee, but before commencing work ic had si word to say. It was known to nost of those present'that he had been inlicted by the. grand jury of the United dates court for perjury in taking the ironlad. Under these circumstances he would ike to know whether there was any objeeion to his occupying the chair. A dead silence.

if any member objected lie hoped he vould not hesitate to speak out. There was still no response, for it was ightly considered a bad precedent to cxlude'a man from their council merely boause lie was under indictment for perjury. 31 r. l'urgess kept his seat. TIIE SUBJECT RROACIIED.

After sonic routine business, Mr. Ilumihrevs took the tloor, and read an address vhicli he had prepared, and proposed that he committee publish it to the world. It vas a paper of considerable length, cinphuically rci'iidorsing the Petersburg platform upon which Wells was nominated), and nsisting that the constitution should he without moditiealion. the pronunianiicnlo of Wells to the contrary nolwithta tiding. These sentiments were evidently endorsed iy a majority of the committee, and it corned about to be adopted without delate, when BOND OBJECTED.

Judge Bond was unfcignedlv surprised hat the utterance of such an address should ic seriously considered by the committee, would lie death and destruction Wells, and death and destruction to he Republican party. It would never, tcvcr, do to come out openly in favor of' est-oaths and disfranchisements in the face if the feeling at the North, in the face of' he recent utterances of the party press in Virginia, and, worse than either, in the iiee of the emphatic letters of Governor! iVells and Judge Underwood. Those let-, ers had not been written without due eouideration, and the committee would act mwisely to adopt this impolitic address. 31r. Humphreys insisted that Wells had lot spoken the sentiment ot the people, ami lad no right to go back on bis friends as he tad.

Several colored members spoke to the same effect, and it was evident that the adIress would be carried through in spite of he policy view; but at this juncture there ippcared another figure oil the seene. This was our old acquaintance Dr.Sharpe, nice of tin; Richmond post-ollice, now of lie Distinct of Columbia marshal-hip, who vas on a visit to his political friends here, l'he Doctor thought the committee were icting too hastily. Let all things be done leccntly and in order. Don't censure Governor 'Wells without giving him a chance say a word. Let him be sent for, and let lim speak.

ENTER WELLS. So forthwith a messenger was dispatch' to the Executive man-ion, and present hither cometh WT-U-. obedient to the sin inons. The situation was explained, at without hesitatims the wilv politici; spoke his piece." It was notfor him, sa he, to dictate the policy of the Republic: party in Virginia, hut lie thought it won be admitted that he had the good of th party at heart. He then reviewed the litieal ticld, and told the committee ju what had been done and what they were expect.

The colored vote was pretty cure; at least, there would lie but fewd'esc tions, and a bait must now be thrown for the whites. From all parts of the Sta he received information that many Conse vativos would not vote at all. while othe preferred the l'ctershurg to the liiehmoi nominee. The number of the latter cou lie greatly increased if it was that tiic Republican party was opposed disfranchisement. But, after all.

why show this little difference interrupt the harmoi of the party? There was an easy eompr misc. THROW DUST IN TIIKIR EVES. the Shadwell letter as the sentiments of the nominee, hut let it he generally understood in party confidence that every vole for the constitution without modification. would he easier than to instructions to this elfeet by means of the League" and the other existing political agencies, well known to every member of the committee. The result would he a large accession to the white vote for Wells, a solid black vote for the proposed constitution, and the complete triumph of the Republican party.

TUE COMI'KOMISK EFFECTED. These remarks, of which wc have only given the substance, had a visible effect uimii the and the address was laid upon the table with the understanding referred to by the Governor. It is due to Mr. Humphreys, however, to say that he was consistent to the end, and would not agree to this disposal of the address. COLLECTING FUNDS.

This matter settled, committees were appointed to procure oil to promote the smooth working of the party machinery. Dr. Sliarpe was requested to hand 'round the in Washington, and Colonel Parker to make collections on his travels in Virginia. Mr. A.

T. Maupin, the decapitated postmaster of Staunton, was also authorized to collect money from zealous Republicans at the North. THE NEGRO IN THE JURY-BOX. Mr. Burgess now called the attention of the committee to the fact that the Petersburg Convention had passed a resolutiou requesting the State Central Committee to wait on General Canby, upon his arrival in Virginia, to urge upon him the propriety of issuing an order requiring all juries to be composed of an equal number of blacks and whites.

It was high time, said Burgess, that this thing should he attended to. A colored member agreed wth Mr. Buress. Another same thing. gess.

Another colored member said about the Hictnlwr spoke on the Bllbjoct. The Olialr then appointed committee, conatatftlg of Jenkins, Hine, Bowdon, IMskell, nnd'A Kiehsritynd negro, to wnit oft the butitt was generally understood that the thing would go by the hoard, the composition of the committee precluded all possibility of getting quorum lor the object indicated. Various other matters were attended to, but none other that we deem worthy ol" publication. The committee adjourned on Wednesday evening, after a protracted sessionrand now "all is quietalongthe lines." SPEdAL JfOTICES. I.
