THE REPUBLIC. FRIDAY MORNING......AUGUST 25, 1865. The Republic in STAUNTON.– Messrs. DODAMEAD & Fox are agents for The Republic in Staunton, Va, and are authorized to receive and receipt for subscriptions and advertisements. PARDONS A Washington telegram of Tuesday says: "A rule was adopted this morning by Mr. Pleasants, pardon clerk in the Attorney-General's office, limiting the hours of receiving personal applications on business connected with pardons from nine to eleven in the forenoon. Mr. Speed will receive visitors from eleven to one. After these hours all persons will be denied admission. The crowds that daily congregate in the rooms and ante-rooms of the Attorney-General's office are increasing instead of diminishing, and, without some such restriction, bid fair to monopolize business hours with long and unnecessary explanations. Hereafter the clerical work of the Pardon Bureau can-be completed in business hours, free from the annoyance and solicitations that have constantly embarrassed it. "A new leaf has also been turned over at the White House. A certain feminine habitue of the east room and lobbies, who is generally understood to have been engaged in the pardon brokerage business, was to-day refused permission to ascend the stairway or further importune the President. Visitors to the Presidential mansion have not missed the familiar features of the fair literateur a single day for many weeks. The rule that gives every one daily access to the White House will, in her case, be more honored in the breach than the observance. "The President this morning granted pardons to Joseph Henderson, of Tennessee and P.R., Dickinson, of Wilmington, North Carolina." The Washington Chronicle of yesterday says: "The Presidential mansion was yesterday visited by a large number of persons, both male and female, nearly all of whom were present on urgent business. Twenty-five ladies were admitted at one time, and between 2 and 3 o'clock the doors were thrown open and all present admitted. Herschel V. Johnson had a private interview with the President during the day." The President, on Wednesday, granted the following pardons: "Robert Douthat, Charles City County, Virginia; William P. Ballenger, Galveston, Texas." SALES OF SOUTHERN BANK NOTES. AUGUST 23, 1865.

THE EFFECT OF PARDONS.–It will be recollected that a circular had been issued from the Bureau of Refugees in Washington city, addressed to the Bureau at New Orleans, relative to the retention of the lands of late rebels. This circular not having been approved by the President, will be of no effect where a full pardon is granted by the Executive. —The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says: "The attempt to retain possession of the confiscated lands in Louisiana is the same as has been made in Tennessee, and the rebuke of the former by the President will be no less pointed and emphatic than was the latter. In Tennessee, those in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau were compelled, by order of the President, to restore to those who had been pardoned the property formerly in their possession, and the rule will be applied to all the States. I write thus 'by authority,' and you may rely upon it, that in all cases where the President affixes his signature to a full pardon, that pardon will carry with it all the right and title to property heretofore possessed by the person to whom the pardon is granted." VIRGINIA POST-OFFICE AFFAIRS. —The Postmaster-General has ordered the following: Reopen and change site of Somerset, Orange county, and name to Liberty Mills, and appoint William H. Kite postmaster, in place of Ansel P. Roult. Reopen Charlotte Courthouse, Charlotte county, and appoint John T. Hargerman postmaster, in place of Alfred A. Wilbon.

Cameron, Marshall county, Emanuel Whitmyer postmaster, vice James R. Bell. Grass Lick, Jackson county, Elvina M. Greer postmistress, vice James Greer. TRAVELING ON THE MISSISSIPPI.—The Memphis Bulletin of the 17th has the following relative to the attack on the steamer Ben Stickney, near Cairo, on her way to New Orleans: "Learning that the steamer was to stop at Yeargin's landing for freight on last Thursday, the guerrillas concealed themselves near the landing and awaited her arrival. The 'doctor,' however, became disarranged before the point was reached, and the pilots were obliged to run against the bank about one mile below. The shades of night were thickening at this time, and objects on the steamer somewhat indistinct. The guerrillas soon appeared, and rushing up into the saloon, began their work of plunder, but had scarcely commenced when they were surrounded by a number of homeward-bound soldiers of the Eighty-eighth Illinois infantry, who were on board, and after a brief struggle, five of the raiders were captured and bound. The balance, number unknown, escaped with their leaders, and have not since been seen. The prisoners were conveyed to Cairo, and turned over to the provost marshal for custody and trial. The leader of the gang is represented as a most ruffianly character, one-legged, and an ex-officer of the United Staves revenue service. GENERAL SHERMAN CORNERED.—While General Sherman was in General Howard's tent one day during the Georgia campaign, the Medical Director, who knew that the former liked a "glass" occasionally, while General Howard was total abstinence, told Sherman that he looked weary and ill, and if he would go with him he would give him a seidlitz powder. The General acquiesced in the proposal with alacrity, but General Howard, opening his valise, begged him not to leave, and produced a powder, which he mixed and gave to Sherman. The latter, though a little chagrined at the loss of the ardent, was much amused at Howard's ruse, and drank the cup manfully. The bystanders who saw the joke smiled as loud as was proper under the circumstances. THE REGULAR ARMY.—The number of white troops retained to constitute the regular army will number 125,000 men. CITY INTELLIGENCE. HENRICO ELECTIONS.—An election was held in Henrico county yesterday to fill vacancies in the offices of Commonwealth's Attorney and Justices of the Peace for the First, Second and Fourth district. At the recent election held in that county, Mr. A. R. Courtney, formerly a major in the late Confederate army, was elected Commonwealth's Attorney, and Messrs. Benjamin Green, Jr., and James E. Riddick, who also held commissioned offices in the late Confederate army, were chosen as Justices of the Peace. The election of each of these gentlemen was set aside by Governor Peirpoint, it having been decided that they were rendered ineligible because of the fact of having held office under the Confederate States. A new election, therefore, was held yesterday. The candidates for the office of Commonwealth's Attorney were Mr. John B. Young and Mr. John N. Davis. The friends of both these gentlemen announced that, if elected, the Governor would raise no objection, and that either would be allowed to qualify.—Neither of the gentlemen participated in the late war; Mr. Young having been engaged during its continuance as Commonwealth's Attorney, and Mr. Davis being exempt under the laws of the late Confederate Congress because of being a Nazarine preacher. The candidates for Justices in the First district were Messrs. Francis T. Duke, Thomas L. Pleasants and Thomas J. Yarborough. In the Second district the candidates for Justices were Messrs. C. W. Petherbridge, John E. Friend and William O. Snellings. In the Fourth district the candidates for Justices were Messrs. William Hendrick, Jacob Cohn and Thomas E. Nuckols. At the County Court-house (District No. 2) at the close of the polls last evening the vote stood as follows: For Commonwealth's Attorney.—John B. Young 266; John N. Davis, 135. For Justices of the Peace.—C. W. Petherbridge, 194; John E. Friend, 79; William O. Snellings, 17. Owing to the distance of the other precincts from the city, we could not obtain the official vote, but enough was ascertained to show that Mr. Young had been elected Commonwealth's Attorney by a majority of at least two hundred and fifty or three hundred. Mr. Young is one of the ablest lawyers in the county, and has held the office to which he has just been re-elected since 1852. His election will, we doubt not, give universal satisfaction. Mr. Petherbridge, who was chosen Justice in the Second district to fill the vacancy created by the ineligibility of Mr. Riddick, is a Methodist preacher, and resides on Twenty-first street, just beyond the corporate limits. MEETING POSTPONED.—As will be seen by the notice of the chairman, published in another column, the meeting of citizens advertised to be held to-morrow has been postponed till Tuesday, August 29th, when the meeting will take place on the Capitol Square at 5 o'clock P.M. This meeting will be one of the largest public demonstrations that has taken place in this city for many years. SERIOUS DISTURBANCE.—A serious disturbance occurred on Wednesday night, about 9 o'clock, between a party of negroes and the soldiers stationed on the Meadowbridge road, about two miles from this city. Muskets and bayonets were used quite freely, both parties being armed. Several individuals on both sides were slightly injured. A number of arrests were made, but what disposition has been made of the offenders has not yet transpired. PROVOST JUDGE'S COURT LIEUTENANT COLONEL MCENTEE.-The following cases were disposed of in this Court yesterday: B. Washington, colored, assault and battery—no evidence, released. John Casey, citizen, assaulting a colored man and threatening to shoot him—not guilty, discharged. Edward Kane, citizen, selling liquor to soldiers—fined $25. J. D. Lancaster, citizen, selling liquor to soldiers—not guilty, released. Joseph Dishoe and Samuel Ashton, Twenty-fourth Massachusetts, drunk and without pass—guilty, sent to Castle Thunder for ten days. John McGraw, Eleventh United States infantry, drunk and disorderly and without pass—guilty, fined $10 and released. H. H. Doherty, citizen, selling liquor to soldiers—fined $25. Thornton Turner and Edward Dabney, colored, fighting—released after twenty-four hours confinement. Isaac Charter, colored, selling liquor to soldiers—fined $20. Thomas Turner, Eleventh United States infantry, interfering with guard at hospital—released and sent to his regiment. Thomas E. Higgins, citizen, bar-tender for George Jenkins, selling liquor to soldiers—fined $50 and released. Mrs. J. Toorney, selling liquor to soldiers—plead guilty, fined $30 and released. C. Sauer, selling liquor to soldiers—fined $25. Sauer resisted the policemen who were ordered to arrest him; and was struck by them for so doing. After a searching and thorough examination of the case, the Judge decided that the policemen were justifiable in striking Mr. Sauer, as he resisted the officers in the discharge of their duty, and it did not appear that more force was resorted to than was necessary to make the arrest. THE PAWNBROKER.—We have already alluded to the fact that a pawnbroker's shop has been established in this city. We learn that the enterprising and accommodating gentleman who presides behind the counter has been doing quite a lively business. His huge iron safe already contains many little trinkets, around many of which, no doubt, the usual number of "fond recollections" cluster. The three golden balls suspended over the pavement in front of the store occupied by this obliging old gentleman have been objects of interest and wonder for some weeks past. Some suppose this peculiar emblem adopted by pawnbrokers to be significant of the three per cent, a month which the money-lender is supposed to exact from those he accommodates, others of the massive wealth which is accumulated in his coffers; but the real origin of the custom may be thus briefly stated: It was copied from the signs of the old Italian bankers, who were Lombards, and were the first persons to open loan shops for the relief of temporary pecuniary distress. The greatest of the Lombards was the house of Medici, of Florence, who bore pills on their coat of arms in allusion to the professional origin from whence they derived the name of Medici. Their agents and descendants placed this device over their doors, and it was gradually adopted by others in the same business until it now has become symbolical of that profession which is always ready to relieve distress for a slight pecuniary consideration. ACCIDENT.—Mr. C. B. Williams, a conductor on the Orange and Alexandria railroad, fell from the locomotive on Monday last while the train was in motion, and the cars passing over one of his legs, so bady crushed it as to render amputation at the ankle necessary. WE ARE INDEBTED to Messrs. Cole & Turner, Governor street, for the Petersburg Express of yesterday morning. These gentlemen receive Northern and Southern papers at the earliest moment practicable after their publication. "IT IS RUMORED that the Richmond Republic has changed hands. Republics are notoriously ungrateful—didn't this one support its adherents"?—Country Paper. When the Republic changes hands, its proprietors will make that fact known. It will neither sail under assumed principles nor bogus publishers. The names of its proprietors have appeared at its head from its first number to the present, and those busybodies who have hoped to impair its influence by connecting with it non-residents, have wilfully and maliciously misrepresented the truth. NOTICE TO FARMERS.—We have on hand and are constantly receiving, MOWERS, REAPERS, CIDER MILLS, PLOWS, HAY RAKES, HAY ELEVATORS, FORKS, HOES, PRIZE CHURNS, CORN SHELLERS, MASTICATORS, STRAW CUTTERS, LIME SPREADERS, WHEAT DRILLS, FANS, HAY KNIVES and AGRICULTURAL and FARMING IMPLEMENTS generally, at prices that will be satisfactory.

CITY BUSINESS. CATCH THE HORSE THIEVES.—On Wednesday night last the stable of John B. Davis, Esq., west end of Marshall street, was entered, and two valuable animals stolen therefrom. One of them was a dark bay mare, nine or ten years old, about fifteen hands high, a fast walker, carries her head rather low when under the saddle, and has a rounding rump. The other is a bay horse, eight years old, fifteen hands high, branded U S on the left shoulder and the letter S on the right side of the neck, under the mane. Mr. Davis offers fifty dollars for the recovery of the horses. We hope everybody will be on the lookout for the thieves. MESSRS. SAMUEL M.

ROBERT MAYO, JR. au 15-tde TO THE VOTERS OF THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.-Fellow citizens: I offer myself as a candidate for a seat in the next Congress from this district. Not nominated by any party or put forward by any clique, I shall run on Lipscomb's own independent hook. I come before you, not claiming to be one of the chivalry, but a plain working man, a mechanic, who, having been born and reared in your midst, is acquainted with your wants and keenly alive to your interests. I purpose, from this time until the day of election, to stump the district, but as I may not have an opportunity of personally addressing all the voters, I have considered it proper that I should avail myself of the public newspapers for the purpose of expressing my principles and defining my position on the great questions of the day. I am, as I ever have been, an uncompromising, unflinching advocate of the union of all the States. I was, like thousands of other loyal men, swept over and submerged by the mighty tide of the recent revolution, but never, during all of those dreadful years, just passed, has there been one pulsation of my heart which was not true to the Union and the glorious banner of our common country. To those of you who know me personally, I need hardly have said so much on this subject, but our district is a large one, and though there must be a few within its limits who have not heard of Martin Meredith Lipscomb, so often before the citizens of Richmond as candidate for Mayor, against the late, but not much lamented, Joseph Mayo, and as City Sergeant: yet there might be many to whom assurance of my principles on the great question which recently filled the land with blood and mourning might be necessary. In the seething cauldron of the politics of the day, the irrepressible negro prominently bubbles up. His fate and destiny now occupy the attention of the two hemispheres. It is not meet that I pass him over in silence. Negro property is among the things of yesterday. Slavery is dead, and in the deep bosom of the past is buried. No attempts should be made to resurrect it. It has been the demon of discord. It has been exorcised and laid low by the pure spirit of Liberty, and should be allowed to rest forever. But one duty remains for us in regard to it. Our Legislature should ratify the constitutional amendment. Whether the negro shall be allowed to vote, should, in my opinion, be left to the action of the separate States. I will not, in my present limits, enter into a discussion of the subject, especially as it cannot be said to be just now fairly before the public. It is only as yet talked of and agitated as a question to come up hereafter. I believe that Andrew Johnson is one of the wisest and best Presidents the Republic has yet had.-His education and talents peculiarly fit him to control the destinies of the country in this critical conjunction of affairs. I am therefore in favor of extending to him and his administration a cordial, hearty and unreserved support. Touching the question of States's rights, I have only to say I am an advocate for a strong, consolidated, Central government. I would have it so strong that, based as it is in the affections of the people for a foundation, all the powers of the earth shall not shake it. I should do injustice to myself did I not advert to the disposition which, in my opinion, should be made of any secessionists that may exist or may hereafter show themselves. I would have the General Government establish in each state lunatic asylums for this wicked and unfortunate class of persons, whose care and custody shall be under the superintendence of the Freedmen's Bureau. Should other political questions arise before the day of election, I shall come out boldly and define my position in relation to them. I will shirk no issues that may arise. With such a record as I present, and with the popular shows entertained by me, I feel no doubt but that I shall be elected by an overwhelming majority. I am, fellow-citizens, yours, &c., MARTIN MEREDITH LIPSCOMB. au 16-tde PROFESSIONAL CARDS. DR. JOHN P.
