In Newbsrp, N. c., the City Council has
voted two to three not to purchase United
States flag to be displayed from the City
Hall. The argument iuoppositiou was that
the Omitted States would not allow repre-.
ssptation for the South in Congress, there
fore the South ought: not to allow the flag
to be shown within her borders. .........At
q recent meeting of the citizens of Pine
Bluff county, Arkansas, Gen. Yell offered
resolutions declaring that they wished to be
relieved from morbid feelings, and insane
ideas; that States have'Do right to secede ;
that negroes should be allowed all civil
rights; that stay law should be passed ;
tha. immigration should be favored.

"Weoconld not but feel that this was q
time for Marshall to occupy the seat of
justice, SO that the imposing spectacle of so
great trial should be in keeping with the
dignity and historical interest of the occa.
sion. We were unwilling that on such
memorable occasion we should run any
hazard of belit,ling ourselves. We desi-

priety, elevation, impartiality, and modera

,aWe remember il" the famous trial of
Charles I. the event is noted that one of the
audience spat upon the king as he was be.
ipgtaken out of the court. We hoped to see
nothing Of this on the trial of Mr.. Davis.
awe confess, therefore, under the infu-
sncs of these ideas, we read Judge Under
woods charge with a certain degree of
solicitude, and We are sorry to say that by
the time We had got through with it We felt
no necessity Of praying .to be delivered
from all vsiDglory, for we we're hnmbled
enough in all conscience" S.. ..... .. ...
awe were, perhaps, unreasonable in no.
ping for what we did, for Judge Underwood
cannot be other than himself He can no
more play the role Of Judge Marshall than
Judge Marshall could have played the role
Of Judge Underwood. H ..= ,.... ....
saWe must take Judge Underwood as we
find him, and we may readily concede that
he has done his best, and if it is NO better,
it is not his fault so much as his misfor;
tune. As some persons cannot distinguish
colors, SO others are insensible to the con-
cord of sweet sounds. If Judge Under
wood is person of very ordinary intellect,
of but little literary or legal cultivation and
worse taste, aud under the Influence of the
most violent prejudice, he deserves our pity
more. perhaps, than our deuunciation.'

Times does not notice our Judge aud court

overly, sit not time that the. curtain
had fallen upon this farce? Let the Chief
Justice exercise the authority the new law
gives him, and call special session Of the
Circuit Court, and at the appointed time let
the trial af Davis proceed with something
like diciakregularity and decorum. All
such exhibitions as We have had of late are
tending to belittie the Government in the
eyes of a people by no means sorry to see it
placed in such position, and should be
sedulously avoided !" ~ .-. ....

1t is to be hoped that in the trial of Mr.
Davis the President will have sufficient re-
speet for the opinion Of mankind to request
the Chief Justice to preside. Underwood
is not 6t to be Judge; he cannot charge
grand jury without making stump speech,
aud stump speech of the most offensive
and malignant nature. He was an impor
tation which never suited the locality. He
found himself, as he would probably find
himself everywhere, socially repugnant and
personally dishked. He felt the bitterness
of hate, but had not the courage to indulge
it personally, and delightsiu lecturing from
the safe elevation of Judicial position those
whom he has neither the right to lecture
nor the heart to comprehend A revolution
always throws just such scum to the surface.
