Ten months afterward, ] coughed up a piece of his blouse Ol inch by one-half in size, and a pie of lining one-third by threo-quarte inch. Two years and nine mont after ho raised a piece of bono titre quarter by one-eighth inch, a pie of shirt one-quarter by three-quart and a piece of blouse ono inch 1 one-eighth.

Our newspapers apel our peoplo 'sll?ulfl nil be united; ritid should ad? vocate the redemption bf Virginia by all Virginians. of whatever color, or party antecedents andPQbtfpal creeds.

Every reflecting mau mu.^t know that, if the whito people keep to themselves, vote, ngaiust a conven? tion, and "d?font it, when Congress again assembles, it will pass another bill more stringent than the present, under which tho handful of "loyal" whites ?md blacks, will bo anthb;iz<d to hold tv convention uud. frauio'ti Constitution whose acceptance by Congress will 'be certain.

TRINE.-A despatch from Washing? ton says: "Leading Republicans aro < .tole j graphing here, from different sections of the North, their repudiation pi Thad. Stevens' confiscation doctrine.'1 We do not seo why "loading Re? publicans" should put themselves tc that trouble. Able and eminent ai Mr. Stevens is, his confiscation speed awoke no single echo iu Congress. And his recent lotter serves only tr render moro palpable tho truth, thal Henry Wilson, iu his speeches nt tilt South, utters the sentiments of ni least nine-tentlis of tho Rep?blica! party. In a single contingency, ouly, d< Mr. Stevens' peculiar views threatei to assume importance. Should tin Democratic minority in tho presen Congress servo his cuds as thoroughly as they did in tho last, ho may be abb somewhat to impede tho admission o members from the States soon to bi reconstructed. Thus the condition; of restoration wero rendered far mon onerous to the e^-robels than a mn jority nf tho Republicans desired am prescribed. Wo havo a strong hop that this "little game" of the tw< extremes will not bo repeated. [New York Tribune.

Judge Brady gave his decision in ibo ?ase yesterday, and, alluding to ho rights' of newspapers, said : ' Tho individualities of editorial lifo aro as rarely duplicated as thoso displayed in oilier pursuits, and tho intellectual vigor distinguishing tho character ami valuo of different prints, al? though equal in. powor, will be es? sentially di?lbrent in thought in tho principies nnnonnced and advocated, and in thc reasoning by which the samo theories are advanced nnd .sought tn bo established.

Pno pEkTY Sonn UND EH CONFEDERATE C0NEJW?A.TJ0N ACTS.- An ^interesting case is now pending before, Judge Barnard, of the Supremo Court,)Ncw York, to which F. W. Allen and R. B. Bridaos, axe tho panties. Tho ac? tion ??'T?-o?ght to recover $30^000 for tho alleged wrongful cbnv?rs'ioh of property in the State of North Carolina, in 1862. The l answer of thc defendant states that, at the time of tho alleged taking of the property, the State qf North Carolina, bad al ready.passed the secession ordinance, and placed itself under tho control and authority of thc so-called Con? federate States Government; that there was no other authority nt that limo exercised in tho State, the au? thority of the United States not hoing enforced; that this property was oou iiscated by the orders of tho officers acting under the delegated authority of tho State, and the defendant pur? chased it from; those officers. The case came np yesterday, on motion of the plaintiff, to strike out the an? swer of the defendant ns irrelevant. Judge Barnard said tho question in? volved was ono whioh required ex? tended discussion and careful consi? deration., There bad"been no deci? sion upon tho question by any court authorized to decido it; but conihig np before him as it did, at Chambers, ho could' not striko out anything Avh?ro'logal questions were" involved. He thought there was proper ground for a demurrer to tho answer; and il tho matter had come up before him on domurser, ho was inclined tc tho opinion that no w?nld give judg mont for plaintiff; but be could nol do so on tho present motion, anti must deny it, with ten dollars costs, with leave to the plaintiff to denim within twenty days.
