TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 25 Lee Camp, of Confederates of Rich? mond, like the Picket. Camp of that city, has endorsed the action of Grand Camp of the State in rejecting that portion of the report of the Camp's History Committee which declared that the right of seeession was abrogated at Appotnattox. It could have done noth iog else, as what is once right is always right.

Truth is immutable. The framers of the Constitution must have thought secession was right, or they would have provided against it. It may not be wise to resort to it again, but to say that it is wroug is to impugn the honor and intelligence of the men who sacrificed their lives and their for? tunes in its defense. was expected by all familiar with negro character, every candidate for Concress in Virginia has withdrawn in favor of his white republican opponent No matter how badly the negroes, who supply their only effective strength iu Virginia, may be treated by their white political allies, they rally to their sup? port on election day, though almost in? variably previous to such days they are loud in the expression of their inten? tion to exert their strength in their own bahalf and to nominate ami vote for tin of their own race. They must have a white master, and as the democrats won't have them, they cling to the re? publicans, who continue to use them 3s the monkey did the cat.

to pull chestnuts out of the fire. Two years ago the so called gold democrats did all they could to help the republicans, writing, speaking and vot? ing for them. Now. however, when some of those in the North have succeeded in having their own meu nominated for republican allies, instead of reciprocating in kind and rewarding one good turn with auother, scout and flout tnem, and tell them to go back to party they deserted for selfish ends anerwhich is no worse than they are. In view of this it is not surprising that Senator Tillman and other true blue democrats take little or no interest in the result of the election of the partic? ular Northern- so-called democratic candidates referred to.

Senator of Massachusetts, says it the democrats shall have a ma? jority in the next Congress, the silver question will be "'reopened." The Senator has been asleep. The ques? tion is not closed, never ha? been, and never will be until free silver coinage have been submitted to a fair test, so that its etlect may be seen by all meu. Then and not Oefore will the question he closed and depressing uncertainty respecting the currency be settled. And why it shouldu't be, is in? explicable to all except the self-ioter ested, for surely the condition could hardly be worse than it is. Thkre ake few things more sought after by some people than a reputation for singularity.

Air. W. Royall of Richmond now says the cause of the Confederate Statts was lost by their government." Kverybody fa? miliar with that government believes it was as wise as auy free government could be, and most of them, that it its head, President Davis, had not yielded to General Johnson, of the military tovernment, at the first battle of Mauassas, the Confederate cause would huve succeeded and the war been over in ninety days. A newspaper of Washington that admires the President and supports Iiis administiation "The negro has proved to the satisfaction of the entire country that he is incapable of con? ducting a civilized and wholesome gov? ernment." But Mr. McKinley still ap points neuro collectors and marshal.

and postmasters iu the South. It may be that the paper referred lo think? that while the negro is incapable of conducting; Roverument in the North, he is capable of doing so in the South. a great many Northern people labor un? der the same delusion. Congressman Overstrket. ol In? diana, is so much concerned about the peril of losing his own election that be hasu't either the time or inclination to do what the republican congressional campaigu committee instructed bim to to Virginia and settle the diflerence between the opposing re? publican candidates in the Norfolk dis? trict, in which Wise says he will not withdraw, and no body familiar with Mr.

Eowden le'ieves he will agree to the withdrawal of Mr. Holland. The Cuban debt, no matter for what purpose it was created, was contracted by the de jure and de facto government of Cuba, aud as the United States have deposed that government seizes! Cuba, hold it and have assumed jurisdiction over it, Spain certainly has good grouud for claiming that they arc bound for the debt lor which the seized territory was security, aud the denial oi that claim is only auother instance of the old natural rule that might makes right. JUDGING FBOM the newspapers, there I is almost as much need for the U. S.

army in several parts of this country, iucludiog the national capital, to keep the negroes quiet ami make them obey the laws, us there is iu any of the newly conquered provinces. And why law and order should uot be ntore desirible here, thau thousands of miles oil and auioug heathen foreigners, can be told only by annexatiouists. FROM WASHINGTON. of the Alexandria Oaratte.l Waphinoton, Oct. 25.

A committee of citizens of Atlanta called upon tne President this morning and invited him to attend the Ailauta peace jubilee next month. The Presi? dent tuld them it would be impossible him to no to Atlanta before the meeting of Cougress. He thought, however, that he could arrange to no there about December 15, aud the com? mittee will arrange the jubilee for that liate. It is possible but uot probable I that Mr. McKinley may visit several southern Slates during December.

Up to date, two thousand claims for pensions have been tiled by soldiers md sailors and their dependents on ac count of the war with Spain. At the present rate there will be teu thou? sand of s-uch claims within a few mo.iths. Twenty thousand or more may be predicted. The claims so far presented are of all kinds, from the sol? dier who was it jured to the dependent father, mother, tister and brother of tho men who fell before Spanish bul lets or succumb to the fever. An order issued this morning I directing tbat the regular infantry I proceed at oi.ee from Fort Thomas, to Fort Sam Houstou, San Auto mo, Tex.

The purpose of the move mi nt is to establish a garrison at that point in place of the 1st Texas volun? teers, which regiment is being muster td out of the service. Fort Sam Hous? ton is an important Indian post. It is said the recent escape of Cieronimo who is on his way to his old ground in Mexico is the cause of this. District mmissioner Ross this morning welcomed the delegates ol the t' annual convention of the Catholic ung Men's luiou at Carroll Hall. The lui-ims? of the meeting was pre? faced with mass at St.Patrick's Church, and alter Col.Ross's address the various ommuiees read their annual reports.

The larce-t iu the Organiza? history is present. Senator Platt of New York is still here. He came to urge the President to uo to his State to revive the hopes of be desponding republicans, but after his electioneering trip to the West, Mr. McKinley thought that Philadelphia is as far as be can venture ou the same line in the North this year. People here from West Virginia to? day say that democratic Congressmen w.il surely be elected in both the Charlestown and Huntiugton districts next month, and that tho democrats in the two other districts have strong hopes of carrying them also, as ex-Sen atjr Davis is a candidate for re-elec tion, aud his influence is poteutial.

Collector Brady, Marshals Treat and Allen, Paymaster Reed aod congres? sional caudid-tte Parr of Virginia are all here to-day. Some of them went to the rooms of the republican congres? sional campaign committee to make another attempt to get money for Mr. Parr, but it is reported they were un? successful, as that committee still think tue mouey they give to South? ern just so much thrown away, as at best it will only buy con tests, which they do not want. North Carolinians here says they ate fearful that the impudent and ou.raneous behavior of the negroes, in tbeir State will result in terrible but well merited retri? bution, and that it will be even worse for them if the President, as reported, shall send V. S.

troops there. They also say (bat the whole trouble is caused by the Presidents appointing hundreds: of negro otttcials there, though there are plenty of reputable white republicans to till ail the otlices, and with those he has appointed and these appointed by the populist ami republican Governor, most of the nub otlices there now are held by ne? groes, who exercise their brief au? thority with unbearable iusolence. The aunu-rl report of Brigadier Gen? eral Johu M. Wilsou, Chief of Engi? neers, S. covers all operations connected with fortifications and river aud harbor improvements during the i-t year.

Chief interest is centered iu bis statements regarding fortifications in consequence of the war with Spain aud the impossibilities of hostile attack upon the coasts. Five hundred heavy guus, of 10, 12 aud inch calibre, about 70? rapid lire guns of various sizes and about 1,000 mortars are still tobe mounted, at an approximate cost i of Trie sum of $4,917,500 for lortilicaiion work, to be expended next year, is asked lor.

Royall, who recently resigned the chairmanship of the Grand Camp, Confederate Veterans, history committee because tiie camp would not adopt his views on secession, delivered au address before the Sous cd' Veterans in Richmond last night, which created quite a sensation. Mr. Koyali's theme was "The Inspirations Sons of Confed? erate Veterans Should Draw from the He divided the discourse into three parts, discussing the questions: "Whether your fathers had the right with them in the course which they pursued between 1861 and 1S65; the course which you, their sons, should pursue iu all matters that are atlected by the questions before them in lSGl: tbo way in which they demeaned them? selves in that period." Mr. Royall ar? gued the right of secession, discussing it from both a historical and constitu? tional point of view, and paid a tribute to the bravery and devotion of the Con? federate soldier. It was his criticism of Mr.

Davis and the Confederate government that creat? ed surprise and aroused the ire of the older veterans. "The point I waut so make here to? night," he said, is that the Confeder? ate soldiers who endured what no other soldiers ever endured, and ou the field of battle as no other soldiers ever fought, were not conquered by their armed adversaries. On, no! Io a contest between them and other arm? ed men they wire unconquerable. They were conquere.l by a foe that they could not conleud with. They were conquered by hung6r and cold, and the civil administration of the Con? federate government is culpably re? sponsible for the conquest.

"I want to make the point hero to? night that it was not he tbat lost the war, but those he depended on to sup? ply him with what was necessary for the war. He did his duty, and if others had done theirs as he did his the Confederacy would have won its cause. But others upou whom the responsibili? ty of furnisbinu him food and clothes culpably failed to perform their duty and left him no alternative but to lay down his arms. Tne Confederate soi dier was not conquered, but betrayed." Gov. Tyler and party, including the members of his stall, Miss Tyler, Mrs.

Cowardin and Mrs. Tennant, left Rich? mond yesterday to attend the peace jubilee at Philadelphia and expect to De away until Friday. The Governor, before leaving, designated Maj. W. E.

Many readers of Mrs Humphrey Ward's latest story of Bannisdale" must have wondered what opinion an intelligent Caihoiie reader would be likely to have of it as a portraiture of English Catholics.

The bishops mid deputies gave most ol their lime yesterday to reconciling difierences between them on the re? vised constitution, in anticipation of final adjournment this evening. Itdis-i closed much tenacity ou the part of the deputies to direct the ailairs of their own house, without the control of the bishops. The question came up on a conference report ou article 1, which recommended that the views of the bishops, on the manner of choosing members of the House of Deputies, and on giving deputies the right to vote, be accepted. The report was warmly opposed Mr. Francis Linde Stetson, ol New York, argued that this was a proposition to surren? der to the bishops the constitutional di? rection of the House of Deputies.

The Rev. Dr. McKim, of Washington, also argued that the deputies should control the organization of their own bouse. A portion of the conference commit? tee's rep; rt ou article 1 was recommit? ted to it, and a portion non-concurred in. The matter, therefore, will have to be further considered in conference.

Tile bouse proceeded to the consid? eration of the special order, the consideration of the revision of the can? nons. There are lifty-three in nil these, and the disposition of some of the delegates was averse to euteriug upon a discussion of the many im? portant questions involved at this lite stage of the session. Notwithstanding an expression of opinion to this effect, the house proceeded with the canons, At one o'clock, however, it became ap? parent that the matter could hardly be disposed of at this convention, and further consideration of the canons was indefinitely postponed. The deputies concurr-d in a resolu? tion of the bishops provided for a com mittee of bishops, clergymen and lay? men to consider the question ol a per? manent meeting pluce for tbo triennial conventions. Article of the revisrd constitution was fiaall.v adopted as amended by the bishops.

It relates to the formation of new dioceses. Final argument was reached iu both bouces of the council on the article for the consecration of bishops for foreign lands, over which there was consider? able difference, the matter being recast in such manner as to be acceptable lo i he bishops. Anticipatory of final adjournment tiiis evening, the deputies completed as much of i he unfinished business as pos s.ble at the afternoon sei-sion. Con? siderable time was taken up in secret session in disposiug of the cuse of Rev. Junius M.

Horner, nominated by the bishops as bishop for the missionary district of Asheville, N. C. A telegram from Rev. Mr. Swope, of Asbeville, was read, representing that Kev.

Hor? ner bad never presided over a mission or parish. Rev. Mr. Hoffman, of New York, made a statement of the nomi? nee's eminent qualifications for the po? sition, which the deputies, and the nomination was continued unanimously. The committee on marginal readings of the Bible was instructed to give the authority for proposed readings intro? duced by it in the report to the next general convention.

All pending resolutions on marriage ami divorce were sent to the special committee of thirteen appointed to con s.ider the subject. The proposed amendment to the con a itution affecting siiilrngau bishops was referred to a special committee of five to report to tho next convention. Auotber conference report was sub? mitted on article 1 of the constitution, and it wa.s adopted. The committee reported that the differences between the deputies and bishops had been ad justed in accordance with the senti? ments of the deputii indicated in the debate during the morning. A motion that the joint committee on the revision of the hymnal beau to pursue their work duriru the period intervening before the next convention was lost, it being argued that the people bad not yet become thoroughly familiar with the present revision.

An amendment was adopted to the canons giving a presbyter an equil right with the bishop of a dioct-se to appeal to the pre- siding bishop for a council of con ciiiation to settle difficulties, instead ol the present canon which gives the bishop preference in I lie matter of time. Roland E.

Weils, of the University of the South. Much of the bishops' lime was occu pisd in the discussion of the article on tbeconsec -alien of bishops ior foreign lands, which wus finally agreed to. The House of Bishops spent most of the time of the afternoon in considering the draft of tbe pastoral letter read in the churches after tbe conclusion of the work of each triennial council. Rev. George Calvin Hall, of Dela? ware, was elected bishop for the mis sionary district of Kioto, Japan.

The announcement was made in the House of Bishops that the Prot esiaut Episcopal clergyman to enter Porto Rico to spread the Gospel of tbe American Cburcb will leave New York on Wednesday. He is Rev. Mr. Taft, of St. Georee's Church, ami he is sent by Bishop Potter, of New York.

THIRD VIRGINIA REGIMENT. There is not much prospect of the Third regiment being mustered out 1 e.

It had been thought that tho men would receive their pay aud final dis? cbarge by Saturday, but it was about agreed yesterday that this date was too irly by four or five days. There is au immense amount of work connected with the muster-out of a regiment, and though every one who has had to do any ot this work has pro? ceeded with all speed possible, it is of a kind with which regulars, as well as volunteers, are entirely unfamiliar, hence progress has been slow.
