£> i EBUAV MORNING, OUT. 17, 18C5.
1.41U.0T CIRCULATION.
NKUIIO TICMTIitION V.
There lit an uot of Congress now in
force, authorizing tiogro testimony before
civil tribunals <>i course this applies
only to tbo United States Courts, An
impede all (i»il tribunals organized by or
iioaer His authority of the States, the
question remains open, and can be effect
el only by State Legislation.
The Constitution of the United titateß
contains nothing relative to negro testi
mony ; aud we presume tbo amended
State Constitutions may also remain silent
on that subject ; since it is tbo polioy of
the federal Administration, according to
our understanding of tbo subject, to re
admit rrprotrotation trorn the .Southern
t' sues so soon as they have so amended
their Ccnsuiulions as to accord with the
Constitution of the United ,Slates This
may be done, we presume, by an ordi
nance nullifying the ordinance of ISeces
slcn ; by the ratification of the emanoi
pailoa of stoves by the federal govern
ni'-at; aud by the insertion of a claute in
the auiut.ded Constitution forever pro
hibiting involuntary servitude except for
crime.
Toe Legislature* of the several But»e
may, at euou times as they see proper,
extend or restrict the privilege of suf
liage; and we presume they may also
prescribe the eligibility of witnesses be
fore tut. oivil tribunals of the (date, just
as tbo National legislature prescribed in
regard to witnesses before the National
Courts. This tuny bo done before or
after me approval, by the general Gov
ernment of tbo amended Constitution of
the >State, and trie road unit anon of repre
sentation iu the National Congress.
But should our Hiate Convention at
tempt to bar imui'e legislation in regard
either to suffrage or to the eligibility of
witnesses, by inserting a clause forever
prohibiting the testimony of certain par
lies before tue civil tribunals of the State,
or forever debating legislation on the
question of suffrage, tbo probability is
strong lout the Constitution will bo re
jected as auti-republioau. Indeed we
loci sure that such a Constitution would
be rejected. This being tne policy of the
federal Uovernmeui, it matters little
whether we consider it wise or unwise,
just or unjust, lenient or proscriptive, it
is not in our power lo alter it. We snould
accept it, as we have accepted tbo aboli
tion of slavery, as a cireumstauoe wholly
beyond our power to coutrol.
Toe admtuauce of negro testimony in
the United Slates Courts does not imply,
as some have ignorantly couteuded, that
me negro is recognized by lUose Courts
as the equal of the white man. A man
may be eligible as a wiluess and yet in
eligible to the Jury box. tty tne English
law, an alma, or even a tlouemoi may be
a witness before a civil tribunal; but a
Union tut is not eligible as a juror, and
no sane man can be made to believe that
uu English court or jury oonaiders him
equal lo too white man, or that they
Would accept his testimony as conclusive
against a white man, or eveu of very
great weight wutin not corroborated by
the testimony of more enlightened and
respectable parties.
Any white person, alien, denizen or
citizen, however, bad me private charac
ter, muy be admitted by our law, to the
witness stand; but iho testimony of all
such persons will be duly sifted, weighed
by the jury, and taken only tor what it is
worth. Buttnis does not imply that our
civil tribunals recognize no social dis
tinctions ; or that they consider the
intellectual or moral status of all white
men as equal; or that the fact of a man’s
being a competent witness clothes him
With competency as a juror.
Tho act of emancipation, which our
State Conventions are required to per
form, carries with it certain civil (but
not political auJ social) rights to the
emancipated. What these rights ate,
how they should bo defined, and how se
cursd, are queitious whioh must be met
and deoided. If these civil rights can
ho secured to the freedman witnout mak
lug him eligible us a wi.uess before our
civil tribunals, aud without extending to
him the privileges, and imposing upon
hiai the responsibilities, of a civil agent,
it Wv uld perhaps be more satisfactory to
our people. But if this cannot bo done
and tho conditions to our readmit tanoo to
representation in tho Uuion, cannot be
otherwise pettormed; then we must
choose between negro testimony before
our own civil tribunals in the Union, or
negro testimony before military tribunals
out of it. Then we must oboose between
a civil oourt graduated by our own peo
ple, and a military court set over us by
the general government. Then we will
have to choose, either to become territor
ies and dependencies of a military Power
—territories held at the mercy of the
conqueror, and out of which territories
future States may ba carved and admit
ted into the Union in accordance with
the theory of Mr. Sumner —or to perform
the conditions of the admission of the
freediaaa’a civil righte, and re-enter the
Union upon terms of political equality.
A general system of guardianship,
authorized by the State legislature,
whereby a Trustee may be appointed for
every freedman in the State, and through
whom he may sue and be sued, might pos
sibly me< t,e requirement? of the case.
That is to . tested ; and is, to say the
least, iuvoUti in doubt. We know how
ever, that a recognition of the civil rights
of the freedman, without any committal
whatever on tho subject of hie future po
litical enfranchisement, is all that oan be
reasonably demanded, and we believe, all
that will be required.
POLITICAL. ITEMS.
Pom it Carolina.—ln addition to the
passage of an ordinance declaring the
ordinance of secession void, and another
ordinance forbidding the re-establishment
of slavery in that State, the South Caro
lina Convention changed the election of
Governor from the Legislature to the
people; the gubernatorial term being
increased to four years. The parish sys
tem, or the piau of State representation,
was broken up and the election rendered
uniform throughout the State. This will
reduce the number of her Siato Senators
from forty-six to thirty-two. The elections
in this State, under the amended Consti
tution, takes ploco on the 18th inst.
Louisiana.—Gov. Wells, of Louisiana,
has issued a proclamation ordering a
State election on the Oth of November.
Judge Weems and the Sheriff of Boosier
parish, Lonieiana, have been arrested hy
the provost marshal of frsedmen in that
parish for arresting and trying to convict
a negro for horse stealing. Judge Weems
was tried by a Captain Calahan, of the
Freed men’s Bureau. The following is an
extract from the decision rendered :
•» Ttie high personal worth, eminent
legal attainments, and unfaltering faith
fulness of Judge Weems to the govern
menl, when all around him failed, are bis
sun and shield to-day. It is no part of
the design of the bureau to interfere with
the business of Judge Weems’s court,
exeept in the manner contemplated in
this oase. White men may sue each other
before him as much as they please. They
may eell each other out of house and home
by deorees from under his band, and bo far
as this bureau is coucerned, it is all right.
He may imprison and hang as many woite
men as he pleases, and no opposition will
be raised by us ; but, during the existing
interruption of civil law, he must not
touch the nogro. ”
North Carolina.—An out and out
negro suffrage paper has been started in
Kaieigh. The publishers, we believe,
have been residents of that State several
years: the Editor, a Mr. Brooks, was
formerly connected with the New Times.
It is said to have a thousand subscribers.
Wisconsin.—A mass meeting was held
by the negroes of Wisconsin, iu the city
of Milwaukee, on the 9th inst., tor the
purpose of taking into consideration “ the
most praotiaal means to secure a fair and
impartial expression of the voters at the
coming fall election for tha amendment to
the Constitution, granting to all men the
right of suffrage, iireupective of color.
jOsiii.-On the 20th Mept., the “ copper
heads ” at Mifflin towuship, iu Richland
oounty, Ohio, rotten-egged a Mr. Davis,
who was speaking in support of the
Jacobin State ticket. The meeting was
brokeu up and Mr. Davis compelled to
leave.
Tennessee.—A series of resolutions in
troduced in the Lower House of the Ten
nessee Legislature, a few days since,
endorsing the policy of the National Ad
ministration, was laid upon the table.
Personal.—Senator Sumner has writ
ten another letter on the constitutional
abolition amendment, contending that it
has been ratified by three fourths of the
Stales “actually participating in the
government, ’’ as required.
Gen Beauregard appeared before the
proper authorities in New Orleans, a few
days ago, took the oath of amnesty and
registered himself a Citizen, and, if par
doned, a voter. Since hie registry, a much
larger number than usual of the late Con
federates have oome forward and followed
his oxample. The whole number regis
tered now is 5,809; the number taken the
oath, 2,768.
The Cabinet.— A Washington corres
pondent says the Cabinet is divided about
as follows on tha question of admitting
representatives from the Southern States :
For immediate admission—Mr. Seward,
Mr. Dennison. Against it—Mr. Stauton,
Mr. Harlan, Mr. Speed, Mr. McCulloch.
Non-committal—Mr. Welles.
Tha old abolition ground of the ultraa
—the ground on which they sought to
overthrow slavery by overthrowing the
Government, is the identical position on
whioh they now olaim to enforce usurpa
tion and illegal violence on the States by
the Federal power. This heretical dogma
President Johnson discountenances to
day, when he doclares tha States within
the Union, and'When he reoognizee and
declares it his intention to enforoa the
vital obligation to which the rebellion has
brought the country. No State or combi
nations of States, North or South, aocori
ing to his theory, oan be permitted to
attempt the assassination of the nation.
If eleven Southern States may not break
up the National Government by means of
peaoeable secession, no more may an
eqnal or greater number of Northern
States break up the Union by peaceable
legislation looking to the rejeotion of rep
resentatives from a certain section. Dia
unioniste and destructionists, Norm and
South,should not be permitted, according
to Mr. Johnson’s theory, to take the
life of the nation by breaking up the
bonds of the Union.

Robert Ridgeway, Union, is elected in

Robt S. Conrad’s majority in Alexan
dria, a part of the Seventh District, over
Lewis McKenzie, Ua'on, is 15. Conrad
was one of the signers of the ordinance
of secession. He avowed previous to the

probably elected.

to-night.
CLAY AND MITCHBL.
Fortress Monroe, Oct. 11—Quarters
are being prepared in Carroll Hall for
Clay and Mttohel, preparatory to their
removal from their casemate prison.
The Constitutionalist informs us that
a line of telegraph is now being built
from Augusta to Atlanta, ua the line of
the Georgia railroad. The Southern ex
press company have the eaterprse in
hand, and from their well known energy,
we may safely predict that it will be fin
ished in a 6hort time. It is now in work
ing order to Berzelia, where they have
an office.
The White Basle In Alabama.
The Convention of Alabama adopted
the white basis of representation for the
purpose of securing to those sections of
the State in which the white’population
predominates, the weight to whioh they
are entitled. The delegates did not con
template casting away any part of the
State’s representation. Congress having
assigned to Alabama her quota of repre
sentatives—six in number—the Congres
sional Districts will be laid out on the
white basis.
This is no new doctrine at- the South.
President Johnson proposed the same
polioy in the Tennessee Legislature some
twenty years ago; and if we mistake not
the same measure had been previously ad
vocated by partios in North Alabama, to
protect that ueotion of the State against
the superior strength of the Southern
part, where the slaves constitute the ma
jority of the population. The Alabama
Convention has therefore only carried out
a favorite policy of the President, and
one long ago proposed by soma of the
first men in the State.
Generals Frank Gardner and D. H.
Maury are engaged in the Commercial
Express Office in New Orleans.
Mississippi Election— Honorable Cau
ciuct.
The Jackson News rejoioes over the
election of Gen. Humphreys, and from the
fact the President pardoned him at once
upon being informed of bis election, veiy
properly infers a prompt return to the for
mer era of peace and concord.
It lakes occasion, very justly, to compli
ment Judge Fisher, the opposing candi
date, who, regardless of this oiroum
stonce, was but lately in Washington urg
ing the pardon of General Humphreys.
This is one of the most honorable in
stances of independence on record.
HI.H-jp (falutard.
In tho General Episcopal Convention
on the 9th iust., Rev. Dr. Burgess, of
Maine, from ihe Committee on Consecra
tion of the Bishops, reported that due ev

was adopted by the Convention after a
tong and excited discussion, that they ap
prove of the testimonial of Rev. Charles
Todd Quintard and give their consent to
bis consecration as Bishop of the Diocese
