The StOcktOn Case.
WASHINGTON, April

WASHINGTON, April 6.
I. The Radical newspapers have set up a
great cry against those whose eyes were not
SO blinded by the dustot party prejudice as
to prevent them from seeing that che par
tisan, and pot the statesman, controlled the
decision of the Stockton case. have al
ready devoted sufficient space to this mat
ter though it is really one OF the most i'm
pOftant cases ever decided by the Senate.
The Vitiating effect of the bad precedent
established, or more properly, perhaps, of
the bad precedent estat lished by the Dem
ocfats years ago, and now ratified and con.
firmed by the Republicans, will be felt years
hence In its tendency to cOrruptthe highest
legislative body in the land. But cannot
refrain from saying few words In answer
to the "lOyaf' ones who have stepped for
ward as the champions of the majority in
the case. They assert that the case was de-
cided as judicial question. Iatfirmit was
decided as party question, and purpose to
submit few items of evidence on that
point. have not pretended TO speak OF the
merits of the question, nor to say that Mr..
Stockton was really entitled to his seat
though the report of the Judiciary COM
mittee, who fully investigated the subject,
fully justifies the belief that as purely
QuCbIlOu ObOShbOh Woo OhbiOAOd
to his seat. ni
NV sole objection to the action of the Sem
ate has been that tue whole matter was
looked upon and finally decided as party
question. 1t was not so regarded when
: first presented, because then there was no
political necessity for twO-Jhirds vote, and
this may account, perhaps, for the nOn-par-
tisan character of the Judiciary report
a But men who say that politics had nothing
to dowith IL in the end, are either very ig-
norant of party tactics or presume their
readers or hearers to be. If it was not
viewed in party light toward the close of
the contest, how came it that men "paired
of" i'm strict party lines. How is 1t that
when Mr.. Howard, who is Radical, want
ell to absent himself, he paired on this ques-
tion with Mr.. Van Winkle, who Is Con-
-serVative? How is il that Mr.. Williams, of
Oregon, who is Radical, paired with MIR.
DoOlittle, who is q Conservative, and that
Mr.. Morrill,, who is Radical, paired with
Mr.. Wright, who is Democrat? Men
are not influenced In the decision OF purely
judicial questions by such strict party
considerations as led TO such "pairs" as
these. 7iAs
There has never before been "purely
judicial question" of the kind submitted to
The Senate in which the almost unanimous
report of the Judiciary committee has been
edisregarded. In the House the report OF
the committee on Elections Is not always
adopted; but In the Senate, they have as a
general thing more respect for committees,
which they Justly consider .tlle eyes and
ears of deliberative body" Again, when
in the history Of the Senate was such TYR
amy, observed In the decision of ''purely
judicial question: as that which character

somewhat Apprehensive.


The Toledo Blade (Republican) affects not
to derive much satisfaction from the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court Of Wisconsin, by
which suffrage has been conferred on the
Negroes in that State. 1t pretends to fear
that the Democrats win seduce the Negroes
of that State into voting the Democratic
ticket. This, it AYERS, the Democrats OF
Ohio are capable of doing whenever the
Negroes shall be made voters, if before
hand they are not protected against their
insihuating ways by the enlightening in
fiuences Of such education as may enable
them to read Republican journals. IT.
therefore, protests against comforting suf-
frage on the Negroes in the State until they
shall have been thus enlightened.
Wen, are the Southern Whites more
doltish than the Democrats Of Ohio, that
they would not be as likely to enlist the
Negroes in the South on their side were
they made voters, through the extreme
nGgaaniDiity of the Radicals in Congressto-
ward the Southern peopleP Every now
and then, Republican journals, for the pur-
pose Of making fine point, declare that all
the civil rights the Negroes enjoy were
conferred on them by the Democratic par
ty. 1t were, perhaps, well for these gentle
men to bethink themselves in time; for if
they do confer suffrage upon the Negroes,
it is very likely that the votes of the Ne
groes will be turned against them before
they are aware of it.

r An InteIIIgent Freedmnn,

The following incident recently occurred
in this city, the essential particulars oi
which are strictly true. About knowing
time" this year, a family vacated adwelling
on Rich street, having first emptied the
contents of straw bed in the cellar. The
gentleman who succeeded the outgoing
tenant employed an intelligent contra
band" or freedman 1--WE believe the latter Is
now the polite phrase) to clean up and "put
things to rights" generally about the prem
ises. The aforesaid freedman was fresh
from the South, and belonged to class
whom the RAIDS. rate high in intelligence
and virtue above the common run of white
people. q, .rrs .T.-..r 49,.
He was directed by the mistress of the
incoming family to remove the straw frcm
the cellar. Shutting the door behind him,
Mr.. Freedman descended to the lower re-
gions, and thinking to make short work OF
the removal of the straw. took match out
OF his pocket and set fire to the pile. A
smothered flame arose; the cellar was filled
with dense smoke, and "the gentleman of
COLOR was quite stupefed and almost suffo-
Gated by the heat and smoke. -
In the meantime, the smoke filed the
rooms above, and broke forth from the sides
of the building, causing general alarm and
CONSERVATION in the family and neighbor-
hood. Men, finding the smoke proceeded
from tue cellar, rushed down there, discov-
cred the cause, extinguished the fire, and
released the "intelligent freedman" whom
they found half-dead from frightand suffof
cation, from his perilous situation. 5,.r ~
