lMITATIvE.-The natives of Africa, who
ther monkeys, ourang -outangs, or negroes,
are remarkable for their fondncSs for, as
well as their powers of, imitation. They
will do whatever they see their superiors
do. The Wheeling Legislature, regular
SAABo-loving knot of Radicals, have al
lowed the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
that State to appoint reporter, who OF
course publishes the decisions and opinions
of RALPH BERKSHIRE, WILLIAM A. HARRI-
son, &C., &C., for the edification of the
legal profession in this country. JOHN
MILTON said Of the battles which took place
during the existence Of the heptarchy in
what is now called England, that they de-
served no more notice from, and were no
more worthy the attention of, the histo-
rian than the skirmishes between crows
and kites. The decisions Of the Supreme
Court of West Virginia, as at present con-
stituted, bear about the same relation to
the decisions of any respectable Supreme
Court of Appeals as the trays derided by
MILTON bear to the battle of Waterloo.

THE RADICAL CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS.
FORNEY informs us that in the Radical
Congressional Caucus in Washington on
Wednesday evening there was a full and
free interchange of opinion among the men,
bers on the question of adjournment, the
JOHNSON Philadelphia Convention, and
other subjects; after which, committee,
consisting of six members of the House
and three Senators, was appointed to take
the matter brought before the caucus into
consideration, and report what measures
should be adopted. There was nothing
definite fixed about the adjournment OF
Congress, but there was decided express
sion of opinion against any final adjourn
ment under existing circumstances. &C.
vernon HAMILTON, Of Texas, said that the
cQnditii66tfii 81 inc unconditional Union men
of the South was worse to-day than it was
during the reign of JEFF. DAVIS. Which
declaration, and the rest of HAMILTON 5
speech, the Radicals intend to publish as
an clcctionecring document.

With Mschiayel-

turn II TO some account. With Mschiavel-
liam adroitness they conceived scheme
whereby, if they could not hang Mr.: DAVIS
they could at least load him win ihiamy'
and ut the same time wreak exquisite ven
geance on President johnson Tor dechhihg
to aid their murderous designs.
The process relied on for the consull'lla-
ton of this double headed project was re-
markable for its simplicity. The depos'-
tons of the spurious witnesses were 10 DC
preserved in the Bureau OF Military JUS
tice, and at a proper time rendered acces-
sible to the press and the historian. None
of the alleged criminal proceedings OF
Davis set forth in the numerous deposi-
tions. with the exception of those pretend
cd to have occurred in the presence OF
BENJAMIN fwho, being accused as PdrucepS
criminis. would not bclievcd), were s'lsccp-
tible of refutation, all his criminal CONVEX
sations and transactions being, as alleged,
in either the presence Of prominent rehciS,
since deceased, and the witnesses, or IN
the presence of the witnesses alone. DAVIS
could and would, therefore, be publishcd
to the world as monster and murderer
deserving to be cursed like Cain and driven
from OllrlStelluOH anu nv 'h"'tS' NV
much he might say to vindicate himself,
or how cloqucntly his friends might expa-
tate on his Christian character and high
sense of honor, three -fourths of his coun-
trymen, and posterity generally, would be-
licve him guilty.
This the Radical conspirators thought
would cncctually dispose of Davis, and be
rs great punishment as he could bear.
But how were they to reach Mr.. john
sont He had already been denounced for
his lcnicncy toward the rebel leaders, and
with cndcavoring for political purposes to
ingratiatc himself with the South, and
they would now go before the country
with the argument that his failure to put
Davis on his trial for the murder Of Lin
coin, in face of the overwhelming evidence
that could have been brought against
him, as appeared from the dispositions in
the Bureau OF Military Justice, was the
result of his desire and scheme to obtain
the friendship and favor of the South, and
Of his gratitude to Mr.. Davis for removing
his predecessor, and thus clcvatlnS him to
Chief MagiStracy Of the nation.
1t will he readily seen that most pow
crful weapon could have been made of all
this against Mr.. Johnson in the North.
What a pity that so beautiful scheme
should he spoiled. But it is another vcri-
lication of the old adagc that "murdcr
will out"

The vote on the remuneration of AlcXan-
dria to the District of Columbia almost
led us to believe that the Radicals could
do an act of justice without low or mean
motive. But we were misled. 1t appears
that they were alarmed for the fate of
West Virginia. REvERDr JOHNSON told
them that in case the act was repealed,
the Senators from West Virginia would
hold their seats by q precarious tenure, as
the pretended consent of the State OF Viz
ginia to the separation was made by the
Alexandria Legislature, representing some
half dozen counties. If the retrocession
act was void, and Alexandria had always
belonged to the District, then no one could
contend that The Legislature sitting there
had the power or right to give the consent
of Virginia to the disintegration Of the

convention which Il to consist only Of
those who demand test oaths as condI'
ton precedent to the admission Of south.
ern representatives into Congress, and OF
those who acknowledge the injustice upon
the part of the seeding States Of the late
war. But we are well convinced that the
Times speaks without authority. The only
conditions of admission, as laid down IN
the National Intelligencer, paper pao-
l;shed where tho most reliable information
Is to be had upon the question, are the
following:
"Thc object of the National Union Con-
yention is plainly and unequivocally cX-
pressed in the call for it. There is not
one patriotic lover of the Union and sup
porter of the Constitution, north or south,
whatever may be his party associations,
who cannot consistently endorse that call
for q convention. 1t requires no man to
cease to be Wing, a Democrat, or a Re-
publican. 1t presents one single issue
the only important issue now before the
country. 1t appeals to all men deSiro'ts o.
restoration Of national mty, fraternity,
and harmony to mite in national conte-
renee for hatpurpose."
Believing that there is a sincere desire
upon the part of the Conservatives of the
North to confer with men representing the
true feelings of our people, the Dispatch,
like the most of the journals in Virginia,
has counselled the South to send delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention. With the
same object in view, and the same regard
for our honor and best interests, VIC should
certainly oppose the movement II we
thought that the Times was authorized 10
make the announcement Which we have
quoted from its columns. But we deny
its authority to speak in this behalf. We
read the official organ daily, and astlIe Con-
vcntion is supposed to be approved ny
President JOHNSON, and to have been
called upon declaration of principles en-
dorscd by him, we should certainly expect
10 find in that paper the most authoritative
eynosition of his views on the subject.
That paper has laid down no such condi-
tons as the Times would have us believe
are to be cxacted precedent 10 the admis-
sion of southern delegates.
But to put the matter beyond dispute, il
is sufficient to say that the National Demo-
cratic Committee and the Democratic
members of Congress have united in the
call for southern representatives, and that
the JOHNSON Club and the Democratic
Club have been merged into one in view
Of the union expected to be effected be-
tween the Conservatives Of the northern
States and the Democrats Of those States
upon the one part, and the people Of the
southern States upon the other part. If
the Times speaks by authority, the north
crn Democrats will repudiate the Conven-
ton, dissolve their connection with the
SEWARD party, and warn us Of the South
to keep away. Let us proceed to take
steps to appoint our representatives and
await the result of this last manifesto.
