i'k* Vicksburg Herald of the 21st instant
h full r-port of the action of Chief Justice
Shackleford, of the Mississippi High Court
of llrrors aud Appeals, in bailing E. M.
Verger. The District Attorney opposed
the application for bail, and introduced
lit-' evidence taken before the military
commission. He also asked for a post
ponement of the decision, to allow him to
produce witnesses who would prove xual-
.• aforethought on the part of Verger:
but on beiug askcd by Judge Trimble to
name the witnesses from whom ho ex
pected such testimony, he confessed that
lie could not name them. Judge Shackle
ford granted the petition for bail, because
of “the liberal provisions of the constitu
tion of the State of Mississippi, and the
decisions of the High Court expounding
the same in the cases of Moore. Kay and
Jte Ml." These decisions wont to the ex
tent of ruling that parties are bailable
‘•even in cases where the jury might, and
perhaps ought, on the evidence, to render
a verdi t of guilty for murder." J5nt the
Chief Ju-ui. o declared that the evidence

such as has has never hoforo been ex.

There is growing confidence on the part

have in previous editorials suggested that Hint
Congress would find it necessary to rea. rt
te some harsh and arbitrary legislation, to
execute iu the States its disreputably
an pi i rad power to enforce the Fifteenth
Amendment. A number of bills having
that object m view have been offer 1 in
Congress, and the Judiciary Committee
tie Semite has reported tho bill cpitomi/ed
in our telegraphic columns of yesterduv.
That Committee is now regarded as far
behind tho “advanced" or extreme Radical
sentiment in its aggressive purpoHcs. Tho
bill may, therefore, bo regarded as the
mildest measure of ‘ •enforce
has any prospect of passago.
undoubtedly bo found a party urging n
mure forcible und summary intervention
by Congress in the State elections. Homo
will no doubt insist ou Congress tukinj,
the conduct of the registrations or of tlio
elections directly in hand, und making re
agents the sole and primary judges of tl:
qualifications of voters and the election.-,
of officers. But, short as the bill of the
Judiciary Committee may fall of the view;,
of this extreme class, it is radical and
aggressive enough to accomplish a great
revolution iu our system of government.
Under it. State officers are made amenable,
in the discharge of duties imposed by
their State Constitution and laws, to the
Federal Courts; contests for State offices,
in which the contestants allege that they
have been wronged by a violation of the
Fifteenth Amendment, are to bo dot* r
mined, not by the State, but bv the
Federal Courts : and the President i
authorised to employ the land and naval
forces or the military, iu any of the States,
not to put down insurrection or ropi 1
invasion, but to compel State officers to
execute Federal Jaw. oven when tlm laws
of their own States may be in conllict
with it! If this i< not a mighty revolution
in our system of government, it is because
the truo principles of the Government
have heretofore been strangely misunder
stood by tho Aiuoricau statesmen and
people.
Uneoffoctof this bill, or of any other
measure having the same object that Con
gress may pass, will be to give tho North
ern States a touch of the same kind of
discipline that Congress has for several
years been applying to the South. Tin y
will now bo made to realize tho felicities j
of arbitrary Federal interference with State
affairs—of Federal nullification of Stub- [
laws—of Federal imposition on the Stutes
of officers unacceptable to their people.
If it shall have the effect to arouse them
to ©no mighty and successful effort to
restore the government of salutary chocks
aud balances and of wisely distributed
powers, which tho American people oneo
enjoyed, good may yet como from this
kind of “enforcement, and wo may have
cause to exclaim :
‘•Sweet are the uses of adversity.

A Wild Goose Chase.—It appears from
a debate in the United States Sonato on
tho 22 1 instant, that a few madcaps in
that body are intent on getting up a quar
rel with Great Britain over tho Winnipeg
Territory and its rebellion. Chandler of
Michigan offered resolutions directing the
Bresi lent to open negotiations for the an
nexation of the Winnipeg district ns a
Territory or Slate : and Ramsey of Min-
nesota claimed tho honor of having been
tli** first to propose a measure of this
kind. '1 he elm met or of Zaek Chandler ns
a hare-brained demagogue, and the pre
sumption that Ramsey was only “talking
j to Runcoiuh" Minnesota being the State
adjoining tl o Winnipeg territory), would
suggest that this was only a mutter of
local excitement or individual folly. But
there were some intimations dropped in
the debate, which suffice to admonish us
that even such men may do a great deal
of mischief in the working tip of a ques
tion like this, ('handler declared that an
army of 1* m than o:ie hundred thousand

evidently meaning that largo numbers
of volunteers from tho United States
would cross the frontiers to fight the Brit
ish army. He said that the destruction of
the British expedition was certain. These
positive boasts may bo regarded as
strengthening tho rumors that tho Fenians
in the United States are preparing to as
sist tho rebels in opposing tho British au
thority. Chandler avowed that one of his
objects in urging annexation was that the
injury indicted by the British Govern
ment in recognizing tlo Confederates as
belligerent ; must now bo repaired and
made good. Raiusey declared that tho
action ©f the British Government in en
listing the Indians of that region and on-

have reported. They say the question of
tho right of a Railroad Company to ac
quire lands from the Stato of Texas must
be decided without reference to the pr
cut State Constitution. Thoro is
doubt of the right of tho Legislature to
grant lands to aid in the construction of
railroad, but from examination we hi
forced to Hie conclusion that the Mem
phis, El Buko and U/lcifio, called the
trans-Continental Railroad Company, fjy
neglect to perform the work required of
them, have lost the right to demand any

Government made every effort to bavo
them, but ait in vain.
Negotiations having been exhausted,
tho troops moved against tho robbers and
drove them to a tower ou tho coast, noar
Grapo, where they were surrounded on
Friday afternoon. Offers wero once more
made to the brigands, but were rejected,
and at in o'clock next morning tho attack
was made on their position. As soon as
the troops commenced to move, Herbert
and the Secretary of tho Italian Rogation
wero takon out by their captors and
butchered, and subsequently when tho
brigands found themselves hard pressed,
Kionncr and Lloyd were killed. Troops
finally carried the tower, and the bri

mortally wounded, fled, closely pursued
by soldiers. There are strong lmpos that

Tusealooha, April 21.—The case of ca
det Smith and Vcrnor Vaughan, under
charge of the murder of Win. II. Byrd,
was concluded yesterday before tho Ma
gistrate's Court, occupying three entiro
days- two days consumed in bearing evi
dence and ono tho arguments »>f counsel.
Smith wan committed, witlcm! i:.•• 1. •

The general impression is that Vauglmn

fusion. Including tho carriages, the j
cession was fully ono mile long. The
regular tread of the long lino presented tho
uppoarancoof undulating waves of heads
and the surging of the ocean’s waves. The
lino was well officered and protoeted from
inroads of vehicles by Col. James N.
Ramsey, Marshal of tho day, assisted by a
competent corps of efficient assistants.
Besides theso general officers, each school
was overlooked by a marshal of its own.
Each toucher accompunicd their classes.
Tho turn out of the schools was slim,
none of thorn wo suppose containing more
than two-thirds their actual numbers.
AT THE CEMETERY.
On reaching tho upper cemetery, tho
procession formed in parallel sections, and
ufter tlio singing of “Angel Boatman,
and prayer by Rev. A. M. Wynn, a por
tion of the children distributed tin
wreaths and boquots upon surrounding
I graves. Procession thou moved to lower
cemetery, whero “Rost for the Weary"
wus sung, and a second distribution of
flowers took place; after which came (ho
benediction, and tho immeuso crowd com-
nienefd dispersing.
Thero must have been 8000 or 1000 per
sons at tho cemetery. Wliilo the ceremo
nies were grand and imposing, as far hh
externals could mnko them, tho graves
were not so handsomely decorated as on
last yout, partly owing to the lack of flow
ers, und partly owing to tho presence of
such throngs of children. “Too many
cooks Hpoil tho broth." The day was
dork and sombre, as if in sympathy with

Tho Hon. Aaron Alnoorin Bradley, Sen
ator from Africa in the Georgia Legisla
ture, has recently been on a pilgrimage to
Washington in search of salvation for the
h-yal men of Georgia, of whom he i*»
which. His labors live now nearly at an
ci.it, and although not us successful as they
might lmve been, he had reason lo cou-
g« dilute liinnoif upon the partial iv.on-
sli-'iction of the State. With such pleus-
ir. loud for reflection, be purchased a

iii .1 t.» return to tho bosom of hiaeon-

The long journey through the loyal re-
of Virginia and Tunuessee was
in ir! • d by no incident calculated to mar
t’i«' . .. nily wf bis feelings, and when bo
alighted from the train iu the depot at
Ciiiittunooga, Inst night, his heart thrilled
with joy at tho prospect of the hearty
greeting he was soon to receive from the
ley d constituency lie had boon instrument
al i.i saving from rebel rule.
Wi:h e.irpet-b.ig in one band and his
piss in the other, he presented himself at
t: " door of the Indies'ear of the Western
A Atlantic Railroad tram, and demanded
admission with the air of authority thnt
becomes a loyal Senator iu addressing an
employee of that loyal institution. Ilvvna
then timt tho loth amendment, received a
blow in the person of ono of its chief rep
resentatives, which may have already
shaken the very foundations of tho State.
Aaron Alpcoria was denied admission.
't he Georgia Senator was not permitted
to ride in tho Indian' ear of the Stato road,
ami when ho attempted to enter ho was
gently but earnestly pushed aside.
idled with wrath and indignation, he
hastened into the open air, w here ho might
give free vent to his emotions.
“Tho dirty scalawags!" lie said. “To
think they should trout mo so, after ulluiy
labor iu their behalf!"
And thus ho continued at some length,
until tho thought occurred to him to try it
again.
But when lie entered again tlio depot,
behold tlio train was gone.
W»! prefer not to attempt to imagine,
much less to describe, tbo wrath that pro
voked his loyal soul ns this astounding
fact burst upon lum in all its appalling
magnitude. “Left!" lie gapped. “Well,
it will be tho dearest leave they everiuade.
The dirty scalawags ! I could have borne
this from a rebel, imt from men who pre
tend to bo loyal, it is too much.” Here
m.me olio asked him, “Who was it, Sen-
ato, . tlio conductor or tho train hands?"
“All of them, all of them," ho wildly
replied; “and they nro sustained in it «t
headquarters. Yes, by Bullock and Blod
gett ! They 'll deny it, of course, but they
lie. But. I'll tlx thorn; I’ll telegraph to
Washington, ami wo shall see if 1 am to be
In .'tiled in this way. Js there a telegraph
office here ?’’
A sympathetic African informed him
that thoru was, and led tlio enraged Sen
ator in search of it. and ho vanished from,
the sight, of our iuformant, still uttering
thoso ominous words, “Tho dirty scalu-
wngs! I'll tix’em!"
We siticoroly trust that this sad occur
rence may not bo made an argument for
tho reconstruction of Tennessee.
That it will bo fraught with conse
quences of vast importance to tlio people
of Georgia, wo cannot doubt. In tho first
plaeo, tlio Stato road will have to bo reor
ganized so ns to protect tho rights of loyal
men. Tho Executive, of course, will have
to bo chuugod, and what a rebuke it would
be to tho dislo3’ul population of Georgia
if Aaron Alpooriu was made Military Gov
ernor of tho Territory.
Wo hope nothing no bad an this in iti
store for our friends in Georgia; but'thoy
should lonru not to tritlo with such koeu-
dgod tools as tho distinguished Senator
from Africa.
There is still a bare possibility thnt they
may bo happy yet. Wo were informed
lust night that Bullock and Blodgett would
urrivo this morning, and perhnps tho hap
py fuinily may become reconciled to each
liber again. In that event, tho offending
conductor or brakeman will suffer instead
of tho pooplo of Goorgia.
Murder in Calhoun County, Florida,
—Assassination of tub County Judge.—
We learn from Gadsden county delegatee
to tho Str.to Agricultural and Immigration
Association, that authentic information
reached Quincy on Tuesday evening of the
assassination of A. B. Caraway, Judge of
(he County Court of Calhoun county, on
Wednesday morning, lfith inst. Tho par
ticulars are, that. Jmlgo C. left homo, it is
supposed, very early m tho morning with
a largo amount of Stato scrip, a gold watch
and a few greenbacks. At noon the next
day bis body was found just in front of a
thicket, about tkroe-quurtors of n mile
from his homo, with a load of buckshot
through the front part of tho Load, rang
ing from behind tho loft ear. Tho body
was laid out in tho usual munucr; hands
folded nml eyes closed. Tho horse and
buggy wore found about ono hundred uud
fifty yards from tho sceno of tho murder,
the horse hitched to a treo. Nothing was
taken from tlio dead man except a fow
greenbacks, which wore just sufficient to
pay expanses to tho capital and back.
Suspicion whs directed so thoroughly to
Laku Lott, a well-known citizen of that
county, that ho was arrested on Wednes
day, aud is now in tho custody of th«
sheriff. Tho excitement was great, and
the prisonor came very near beiug lynched
by tlio responsible pooplo of that county.
