The Unterriled Precinct.

The old I" Unterrifed Precinct" Shepherdstown,
is now enlivened with the sessions of the Circuit
Court. Being held at the extreme Northern por.
ton of the county the assemblage was not large
on Monday last, as in former years when the ses.
sions were held in Charlestown, the centre of the
county.
We spent two days in the venerable town, and
met many of our old friends cquaintances Of our
younger days-men who were participants in the
prosperity Of the place. Among the number VIC
may mention James Shepherd, Elijah Richard
George Feaman, John Bo.off, Daniel Cameron,
Joseph Entler, and others, who are all nearly 50
years old. We missed, however, our old friend
Daniel Enter, whose death is announced in another
column.
wewere glad to find our clever contemporary o;
the Register prospecting, as he merits success for
his close application to business.

CIVIL RIGHTs BILE.


This UBIQUITOUS measure, intended to irritatc
and degrade the Southern States, and perpet-
nate disunion, has passed both Houses over tie
Presidents veto. It makes citizens at once Of
all negroes, Chinese and gypsies, born in the
United States, whilst under the naturalization
laws it requires FIVE years for foreigner to be-
come citizen.
But let US ventilatc TIC bill a little. i de-
clares that there shall be perfect equality be-
fore the law" without distinction Of race or
color" anything in any State law, regulation,
or custom to the contrary Notwithstanding"
Now it is against State law and custom for
a negro to marry white woman, vet under
tins act OF Congress a negro may go to the
clerk Of Court to demand license to marry
awhile woman, and if the clerk shall deny him
this authority he is liable to arrest, fine, and
imprisonment, to be inflicted by an officer Of
the United States, who gets fee for his labor J
And the clergyman who declines to oficiate is
also liable
Again, it is against custom Of the South to
allow negroes to sit down at the tables Of To-
tells or steamboats, with white folks Suppose
an oderiferous darkey should go to the Ex-
change Hotel at Richmond, and claim plate
along side a white man, Gen. Terry, for in
stance.l and the proprietor should refuse him
OF eject him from his dining room, the host
will render himself liable to punishment for his
want of respect to the gentleman of color.
So in regard to pews in churches and boxes
At theatres, CuAee must be allowed to circulate
his perfumery whether agreeable to the white
people or not.
These are but few Of the instances Of dis
gushing equality about to be forced upon
the Southern States. But, happily, the Presi-
dent has it in his power to select men Of sense
and discretion for the offices under this act,
who are not obliged to listen to every idle COM
plant which worthless or impudent negro
may make

We make the sad announcer 0 It to-day o.
the death of David Funston. Universally re-
spected and beloved as he was, all will lament
with us, that so good and pure man, so ami
able and excellent gentleman, SO useful a
citizen has been removed from our midst. He
died Christian, and in the consultations Of a
faith which sustained him under adverse for
tunes. The sincerrcst sympathy Of our Peo-
pie is expressed for his sorrowing and bereaved
family.-Alerand'ia Gazette, 9th inst.

The Case of Mr.. Davis.

The Supreme Court having adjourned, trials
by court-martial having been abandoned, and
there being no present probability of convicting
Mr.. Davis before civil court, the President,
It is freely rumored, has about concluded to or
der his release on parole. Mr.. Stephens is re-
ported to have expressed the conviction that he
would be released" and as Mr.. s. has just
held long interview with the President, it is
not unlikely but what he is foreshadowing the
event. So says the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger.

the following dispatch: wN
Learenrorth, Kansas, April g. The signi-
fcance Of our municipal election is not, ap-
prehend, understood in Washington. The con-
test was clearly for the policy Of President
johnson in renting the question of negro
suffrage to the States, where it constitutionally
belongs, as against the interference Of Congress
upon that question, determining universal ne
gro suffrage.
Hon Thomas Carney, formerly Governor Of
the State, administration Lane candidate was
elected over B. +. Akers, radical Pomeroy can

Union victory, aud should beso hailed by every
friend Of the policy of Andrew johnson in the

About three thousand dollars has alresdy been

since the recent Fenian scandals had begun in
America, and had cast gloom over the hearts
of all true lovers Of freedom; and that he had
placed the reins Of his government in the hands
Of competent, devoted, and well-tried leaders
during his temporary absence.
3D. That he went TO Paris on most impor-
tant business connected with the present strug-
gle for Irish nationhood, and not because he
had been forced thereto by the enemy
Sd. He is now coming to the United States

sci and well-concerted action among all true
friends of Ireland on the American continent,
to reconcile all discordant clements, and make
last appeal for his suffering country to all
liberty-loving people throughout the world
His stay will be short. Let Us receive him on
his advent to these shores as his patriotic de-
votcdness, his high talent, and STERN fidelity
Deserve And may dire discord and hateful
jealouses vanish from amongusat his approach,
and may they cease thence forth and forever
to be fell and constantly recurring destroyers
