THE CASE OF JUDGE PATTERSON

In the Senate yesterday. upon the presenta.
tion OF Hon. MIR. Patterson's credentials as
Senator elect from Tennessee, Mr.. Sumner
moved that the credentials be referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary, with view to
ascertain whether Mr.. Patterson can take the
Oaih precribed by Congress MI Cowan sun
posed Mr.. Patterson knew whether he could
take the oath. and IL was hardly worth while
10 refer the credentials to the Committee on the
Judiciary TO Inquire into his ability to do it.
Mr.. Summers motion prevailed, however: the
opposition to the admission of Mr. Patterson
bring ostensibly on the ground that he held
judicial of1ice in Tennessee while the Confed.
eraey existed Although, ifthe fact be as stated
In debate. that MI. Patterson, in his capacitv
Of Judge of one of the courts OF the State of
tennessee. did take an oath to support the
Confederate Government, which was at that
time the Ge facto government, yet it is alleged
that he informed the Confederate officials that
he did not recognize their authority to admin
lister the oath, and only yielded to the force of
Circumstances: besides his record as a staunch
and consistent Unionist is well known here
Under these cire umstances, the Senate might,
we think, have safely lett the matter with
M Patterson and his conscience; partic-
uiarly as his integrity has never been oues
TONED. As it Is, there are many who will
draw the inference, whether Justly or unjustly,
that the true ground Of the opposition 10 his
admission was the fact Of his being a son.in
law of the President, and q conservative in
politics.

The Naval Boat Race

New YORK, February 5.-The sea race between
the Algonquin and Winooski will begin tomor-
row if the weather permits. There is much ice
in the bay, and this seems to be the only formid-
able obstacle; but it is thought the receeding
tide will leave the bay clear OF this.
The course of the race lies between Throg's
Neck and Faulker's Island, q distance of one
hundred miles, The boats will run five times
alound the island and return, making a total
