Another Poser for Chief Justice
TaneV,


The presiding Justice. of the Supreme
Court the United States rested his opin.
ion that negroes were not citizens, upon
the allegation that they have never been
recognized as such by the adoption Of the
federal constitution His attention, says
the N. Y. .EUening Posi-, is respectfully
invited to the following extract from an
act of Congress, passed in 1903, which
received'the approval of President JEFF
ferson and both houses of Congress. and
has been recognized as constitutional by
all the courts of the country for more than
fifty years. This clause, it will be pre-
ceived, specially recognizes the existence
of colored citizens of the United States:
Act. 1869. No master of any vessel,
or other person, shall import, or cause to
bo imported, any negro, mulattO, or other
person Of cOlor, not native, a citizen,
orregistered Seamen tie United SiateS,
or seaman native of some country be-
yond the Cape of Good Hope, into any
place of the U. s, situated in any State
which by law has prohibited, or shall pro-
hibit, the importation Of such negro mu-
latto, or other person of color. { Act of
Congress, 28th February 1903, Sec. |,
7. r Gordon's Digest Edition, 1897, P.
453 ..
Can any more conclusive evidence be
desired to prove that the General Govern
ment did recognize the citizenship of ne
groes, in certain cases, than this most sol
emn declaration Of the Government itself?
and if not, when and by what act were
their rights diyested?

DR.. Oheever ON the Supreme Court

DR., Cheever preached sermon last
evening 10 an immense aulience, on the
recent decision OF The Supreme Court,
from the text, ''Cursed be he that per.
vert the judgement Of the stranger."--.
lie considers the conrastDbetween our
treatment of the African race and the
treatment prescribed by God, the condi-
tion 10 which this decision reduces them,
its wickedness in the light of law. human
and divine, the dreadful influence OF that
example, its entire nullity as 10. any
duty TO obey it, and finally our obligation,
before God TO do away with the lniquity.
lie dwelt upon the Jesulical sophistry
Of the decision, which he stigmatized as
this horrible handbook of tyrmny'-
He thought it fitting that the Judge who
pronounced it should not be Protestant;
it was ofa piece with that religion, whose
habit waste anathematiZe and persecute.

acted on tremendous scale, but, as in
other murders, the great difficulty was
to get rid ofthe body. He noticed the
pestience at Washington, and said if
they treated men like rats, they must ex
pecttob be poisoned by them. He reviewed
the points Of Judge TOney's decision.-
If it we're carefully carried out, he said,
an African could be appropriated, if
found running at large, just as lump Of
gold could be found by the roadside, and
already in Virginia it had been proposed
TO sell the Tree negroes 10 pay the Stale
debt. This terrible perversion of the
Constitution lays the Judge open to i'm
peachment for his daring attempt 10 de.

dreadful wrong Of these Border Rulfian

EduCation-Pr Progress.

tlemen Of this place, we paid visit to the
jackson Union School, to witness the clos
ing exercises Of the first term. The ex-
ercises were highly interesting, and made
it itapparont, that rapid advancement had
been made in the various branches taught
in the different departments of the school
Recitations were given in Oribography,
Reading, Vocal music, Geography, Eng
lish Grammar, Arithmetic and Algebra.
That the lessons were not prepared for
the occasion, was manifest from the fact
that some Of the visitors were invited to,
and did assist in the examination, asking
such questions as they thought proper,
nearly all Of which were answered prompt
ly,And correctly.
When We contemplate the advance
ment already made by the pupils in our
schools; the qualifications and intoli-
gence of the superintendent and teachers;
tho facilities afforded by the books and
apparatus now in use; our noble school
house, with its lofty ceiling, spacious
windows, means Of warmth and ventila-
ton, its we'll arranged seats, ats fine ton

duties with the utmost system and regu-
larity, Wc are forcibly reminded of the
progress made in the cause Of education
in tho last twenty years. AT that period
we had no free schools, or public school
houses. Our school houses we're built OF
round logs, with puncheon floors and
clapboard loft, and windows made by
widening the space between two logs, and
setting ia upright pieces of wood, and
pasting old paper thereon, and greasing
it with lard, to increase its transparency.
The writing desk consisted of a heavy
board laid upon two wooden pins driven
into augcr holes in tho log under the win
dow. If two boys should be writing al
one time. they might manage to hold this
desk to ls place; but 1t frequently fell to
tho floor, waking up the teacher with its
noise.
