Important Dsridoii,
.1 ndge Underwood presiding in the United
States District Court now in session at Alex
andria, Ya., has rejected the application of
Francis Smith, a former member ol the bar of
Virginia, to be admitted to practice in the
above named Court Mr. Smith asked to be
admitted to practice on taking sn oath that
he had not aided the rebellion since he re
ceived his fall pardon ftom the President, in
June last, assuming that the act of January,
i£6s. requiring an oath that be had never
aided the rebellion was an ex po3t facto law,
and therefore unconstitutional, and that the
pardon under the constitution absolutely
canceled all former acts of disloyalty. Judge
Underwood held that unless the applicant
could take the oath required by the act o
Congress above referred to—which Mr. Smith
says he cannot and could not be admitti and
to practice in that, court The petition \vn s
accordingly refused. This case decides r.
number of applications in which the same
reasons are assigned*foi admission.

Liberals.
The New York Herald of the l’Bth says:
From Mexico wc have advice of continued
fighting and uncertainty. The heroic city ot
M itamoras is fairly beseiged by the liberals
under General Escobedo. There is a garrison
of eighteen hundred men in the city, andtbe
a Hacking force consists of tweuty flv® hundred
or three thousand meu, exclusive of Cortina's
predatory bauds. Efficiently handled, the
imperial troops should suffice to hold the
city : but the JutuisW think so meanly of Me
jia, the general in command, that they assert
that, with a little more ammunition, they j
could carry the city by storm. The republi- ,
can forces had captured the little town ol
Bateorzo, in Laon, and secured musketry
and ammunition, “Moreover,’’quaintly adds
the officer in command, “the merchants of
that city furnished the SIB,OOO tor the use of
the troops " At the pass ofCabras the Juar
istr, also claim to have defeated nine hundred
imperialists with two hundred cavalry, and
arc further said to have occupied the town ot i
t 'aravnjal. Matamoras papers make light of
find entirely deny these successes. Juarez is
sit Chihualio, with five thousand men.
From Hay tl an<l St. Domiu^u.
The latest intelligence I'rotn those turbu
lent Islands is as follows:
According to the last advices the rebellion
in llnyti was still unsuppressetl. The rebels
held out at Cape Haytien, and President Gef
frard, in his journey Jo the front, was de
tained by the Necessity of improving the
sanitary condition of his army at Gonaives.
He has issued an inspiring address to his
troops, telling them it must not be said that
the handful of rebels at Cape Haytien can
impose revolution on the entire republic.
Intelligence received from St. Domingo, by
way of St. Thomas and Uayti, stales that
by the submission of pimental to Cabrcl ail
danger of civil war is averted. The popu
lace, delighted at this, gave thems< lve3 up to
a three days’ festival. Mutual congratula
tions and amusements were their sole occu
pation during that time.
The Condition or Winr—The Washing

says: * i
There are many who are beginning to be
lieve that Wire will break down completely
and die before the end of the trial, or before
he can be justly punished. He is n man of
nervous and delicate frame, and one won
ders as he looks upon the criminal, how it is
that so much cruelty could be done up in so
flimsy a package. His eves.are sunk en, his
hair grows wirier and graver every day. and
he seems to be without any friends but his
lawyers, who are such prolessionaliy—noth
ing more, and his spiritual advisers. His
wife visits him. Wirz feels that he is aban
doned, and abandoned, too, when he Wants
iriendship the most—when it is food and
drink indeed to him. Haggard, pale and
despairing, he experiences something of
the horrors he once so coolly inflicted on
others,

Negro Testimony.—A gentleman of an
Inland town in Georgia was recently arraign
ed lor assault and battery. He escaped by 1
buying the witnesses ut half a dollar apiece - !
After the trial was over he himself gavp a
full account of the whole transaction to the
Provost Marshal, stating that the bribe was
not to secure himself from justice, but simply
to illustrate the value of negro testimony.—
So says the Athens Watchman.
Negro Bcpfraor.— The National Intelli
gencer thinks it very clear that no party
which might oi ganize on tbe proposition to
force negro suffrage by Federal usurpation
on the Southern States could succeed before

The i .it al article “Tee Rot of the Women"
wants force, and is not without rather un
due severity. The writer accuses our women
of extravagance in dress, furniture and
equipage— *f slavish imitation of foreign,
particularly French fashions. Them can tie
no doubt that a spirit of extr.ivag.ooCJ char
acterizes our people. It ; , always allied ts
the diminished value of money, but it is no
more the peculiarity of our women than of
the men, nor of our time* than of past pe
riods and former generations. This is no
doubt a luxurious ago. Money is tqp freely
expended because it is too little valued, but
whether the ladies of our day are more
chargeable with a devotion to extravagance
aud the imitation of l’arisan modes than were
their mothers before them, is very question
able. The description at all events docs
not apply to Southern women, for the war
uas left them too poor to indulge in extrava
gance and luxury.
The biographical sketch of Peter Force is j
not without interest, who shares the honors I

“A l’lia for Tobacco" wifi no doubt be J
liai cd with pleasure by the devotees to the j
weed. It balances the benefits of its use j
with the evils from its abuse with imparti
ality. “Our Public charities” docs justice to !
that general spirit of benevolence that charac- !
teriz.es our people in the erection of asylums
for the forlorn in almost every class of life,
but the policy Will be questioned by true
pbilanthrophy of building Foundling Hos
pitals, notwithstanding the plausible plea
which the writer offers in their iavor, as !
holding out a premium to vice.
* The article, “Shall Sectionalism still curse
us, is written in a good spirit,and with those
! discriminations between social and political
I privileges to the uegro luce, and between ua-
I tural and complete civil equality that belong
I to the subject. “Party Dishonesty—Reasons
| for Hope," is a review of the proceedings of
j the two conventions recently held at Albany
! and Syracuse. It augurs hope from the
i “military clement" that enters into the com
i position of the two tickets. The writer
i seems to think that men like “Grant, Btacr-
J man, Thomas, McOlellau, Duel, Lee, John
| son, nil leading Generals—North and South, ’
1 are more worthy of public confidence than
: the lawyer—than “Stanton, Holt, liuth-r, ;
! Schenck, Carrington and Wallace.” “Whal i
the Public Want," is a caustic paper on the
deficiencies of Journalism in the United
States. We are apprehensive that the au
thor's standard fqr Journalism will not be !
answered while it is subject to the tyranny |
of opinion as it is in the United Slates, j
With a boastful claim to independence it is j
really less independent than English journal- j
ism.
The Keviws are written in a severe, al
though impartial spirit of criticism. Among
the notices of books that ou the “Lectures
on tiie University of Cambridge in Erglaud,
by William Everett, son of Edward Everett,
deceased," is in the highest degree trenchant
and caustic. Tuat ou “Sacred Poetry" is
discriminative, showing taste and judgment

U«p<l« Going South.
There are said to be one hundred steam
ers now running regularly from New York
to the Southern ports, including thirty-three
to New Orlcaus, eleven to Charleston, twelve
lo Savannah, nine to Wilmington, six to
Mobile, seven to Baltimore, six to Newborn,
live to Richmond and four to Grlveston.
Eighty vessels were reported loading last
week.
The amount of goods taken now bv the.
South is equal to that before the war. " The
great demand at present from 'he Southern
States is for the common description of
goods, more especially in manufactures ; the
cheapest prints and cottons, the coarsest
linens, the common contract shoes, and all
the {other cheaper lines. Machinery and
toois are in active demand. This demand
for cheap goods is in direct, contrast to th e
oidera forwarded by the West. In Ohio, I’.-
linois, and other grain-growing States, Use
demand is fot*tho highest priced aud richest
goods. Responsible houses state that never
itas the demand for the higher classes of
goods been so great in the West as dtaring
the pres nt season. In the Southwest, tend
in the Mississippi Valley, irom Cincinnati all
the way down to New Ot leans, lint goods
wanted are nearer the class called for iu Wes
tern orders. In the West the abundant
crops have onricbod the great array of pro
ducers, aud the clfect is seen in a. desire for
the finest and best articles the market affords.
In the Mississippi Valley, and the South
west, they have also been, enabled by the re
tiring title ot war, lit recover from the heavy
but not exhausting loss, incurred in the enr
ly part, ot the rebellion. —tSashvitle Eisjmtch.
Immense Rush or Female Ofmce-Skek- j
ebb at Washington.—A Washington letter !
sa_V9 :
The Secretary of the Treasury has already
within a short time recorded the names of
over four hundred importunate female pj
titioners foir places, beside* ov*-r a thousand
male office seekers. In the other depart
meats, where female clerks are employed,
’■j e Hke proportion) of applications is filed.
Many ot the petitions iuym the Northern
States come fortified by s; n-cial recommenda
tions trom Congressmen, and a great num
ber ol them are tb* wives or sisters of de
ceased soldiers. Tho simple statement of
this latter fact is by applicant generally
deemed sufficient to secure a clerkship.
Now the truth jf ti le matter is, and it
should be known all over tbe country, that
in all the depart Aleuts there has been a re
duction iu the clerical force, and notwith
standing this there yet remains tho full
strength to c /induct the business of Uio gov
ernment eti/ily aud promptly. The Secreta
ry ot tho Treasury is jaow considering how
best lio way dispense with the services of
about fi’.ty female clerks without throwing
these Uciies upou the world without meaus
or occupation to support them, so that, in
stead of having positions to give to new ap
plicants, there will likely by a further re
duction in the number ot cletks, both male
and temale.

Tb the Yttqj of Chatham Cenaty.
My name, teigttlidr « tb ttiCnnntenf my
brother. Mr. Waring Russell, having been
introduced to the public in a somewhat in
vidious connexion, in the card of Mr Nor
nood. published In the .Savannah Daily Her
ald of the 2d insl. I feel it incunibcul upon
me to state, iu my own defence, certain fuels
which arc well known in tills coainmaitv.
In the first place Mr. Norwood denies that
he prosecuted my brother Waring h> r hiihery
iu 1864, as he asserts has been alleged
against him. He states in his efforts to ex
onerate himself that “we got the names of
many pel sons, who it teas said, had sold their
votes," and furnished these names to the
Grand Jitrv, and that upon the testimony of
the men who were thus introduced Mr.
Waring Russell was presented. Air. Nor
wood further states that be did not furnish
the Grand Jury with my brotber’9 name, or
appear against him before either the Grand
or Petit Jury. The complaint against Mr.
Norwood is not that lie, in tbe legal sense ot
the term, became the prosecutor of Mr.
Wariug Rus-ell, but that smarting under a
political defeat, he sought au unmanly mode
ot re9eutiug the rebuke which the citizeus of
Savannah and the soldiers of the army, aud
not my brother, had administered to his pre
sumption. I conceive it hardly necessary to
assert the well known fact that at the Octo
ber election in 1863 I beat Mr. Norwood
badly for the Legislature, that I received
not only a large majority of the votes polled
in Savannah, but also of the votes of the
army. My brother, Waring Russell, was no
candidate for office at this election, and sim
ply participated in it with the friendly advo
cacy of a brother. The defeat of Mr. Nor
wood was the sole ground for his malignant
championship of the political virtue of this
community, and impelled him to that violent
animosity which sought its gratification in
the ruin of my brother's name. Had Mr.
Norwood known or believed that Air. Waiing
Russell had been guilty of bribery there would
have liecu something manly in liis vindicat
ing the outraged honor of the county, by
boldly standing forth as his prosecutor. His
worst enemies could have only pronounced
this conduct a sort of heroic revenge. But I
regret that there is nothing heroic about Mr.
Norwood, lie did not manfully assume the
responsibilities ot a priseeutor. lie sought
to creep into his euds by collecting with re
vengeful industry Ihe names of men who “ft
was said had sold their votes." and furnishing
those names to the Grand Jury. Air. Nor
wood did not appear before the jury as a
prosecutor—this wuuhl have been unsuited
to his mode of seeking revenge. He did
appear as au interested spectator at the trial,
filled with the mean appetite of surfeiting
upon the ruin which lie had projected. The
result of the trial was that my brother, Air.
Waring Russell, was honorably acquitted. The
statement of this truth was not, however,
consistent with the spirit which dictated and
controlled Air. Norwood's card. It is also
well known that the jury desired to bting iu
a verdict of malicious prosecution, so un
founded wa9 this proceeding against my
brother, Mr. Waring Rus-ell, and were only
prevented by the tact that it originated in
the presentment of a Grand Jury, and that
no one stood forth ss prosecutor. This fact,
not very creditable to the manliness and
courage of Mr. Norwood, at the time, was
too damning a commentary upon his own
statement to appear in his card.
In the second place, Mr. Norwood states
that I have pronounced au article published
by him on the morning of the occupation of
this city by tbe United States forces, to be a
truckling, dough-iaccd article. I plead
guilty to this grave accusation. Ido regaid
this article as unworthy of the position oc
cupied by Mr. Norwood and vaunted flfith so
many brave words. I believe that lam not
singular in this opinion, and if I am, I think 1
shall lie so no longer after a candid statement
of facts. On the 18th of December, iB6O,
Air. Norwood addressed the “Sons of the
8 iutb," and citizeus assembled at the Fire
men’s Hall, upon the occasion of raising a
secession flag, anti the papers of the clay
pronounced his speech “thrilling and patri
otic." On the 3d of Alay, 1861, Captain T.
M Norwood, of the Chatham R ties, received
the first Confederate flag presented to a com
pany in Savannah, iu fervent and eloquent
terms.
It is unnecessary to multiply examples.—
At that period Mr. Norwood was the Cap
tain of a company, devoted to the cause of
secession. He was ns enthusiastic and re
bcllious as the loudest, and proclaimed his
devotion to his sectiou with all his strength
and energy. But a change came over the
spirit of his dream. His military ambition
proved as unfortunate as his political aspi
rations. His company dissolved. His Cap
taincy perished, and the hardships and trials
of a private soldier's life presented a fertile
Held for the exercise of his patriotism and
devotion. But, alas, “wars rude alarums”
were fruitful of medical, as well as military
miracles. The Conscription law was passed
and with unfailing alacrity fasteued upon Sir.
Norwood the grevious afllictions of a cane
and a pair of goggles. The law was screwed
a little lighter, and it lifted Mr. Norwood in
to a buggy—his stick being no longer sulfl
cicut to prop up his feeble frame.
Still burning with a patriotic desire to
serve his bleeding country, be became for
the second time a candidate for the Georgia
Lfgislalure, determined that if lie did not
serve iu the ranks himself, lie would not
forego the patriotic pleasure of compelling
all others to do so. At this time, the per
tinent question was asked in a Savannah pa
per, why Mr. Norwood did not serve in the
army. He only replied by a firmer adhe
rence to his cane and to his goggles, and
these interesting badges of devotion
to his country were not dispensed
with until the occupation of the city by
General Sherman removed them as if by
some magic influence. For these reasons I
do consider the article published by Mr.
Norwood unworthy of auy man who assumed
so emphatic a position at the outbreak of
the war. He was not called upon to write it,
and it was a re idy abandonment of princi
ples and a complaisant truckling to the pow
ers that were, which I feel confident did no',
elicit their admiration, and certainly does
not mine.
It was au error in Mr. Norwood to sup
pose that being no longer exposed to the in
dignation and contempt of his own people,
be could propitiate a brave foe by proclaim
ing bis own shame. This article was con
sidered so time serving and servile that even
the friend of Mr. Norwood, Mr. James R.
Sneed, the former editor of the Republican,
toil tilled upcu u> deb*, iff tbe Mttf.ii lx 14-
gtsph, (t think} aflv participation la or tc<
sponßMrili'y f»r it. I snbmit to the judgrftent
of acaudid public whether or not my opiuloa
of this article is correct.
Inconclusion, I beg to ask whether Mr. Nor
wood's antecedents entitle him to success iu
a contest, the result of which, he regards with
indifference, where “dcleat will be no cause
for regret, and success Will bring no joy,"
that is, to Mr. Norwood biuosclf, for to tbe
county and State the result will be of vital
and enduring importance.
Respectfully, &e.
Phu.ii> M Russell.
