THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNORS.

But the question Is sometimes put: BY
what power, then, if these States are still
in the Union, does the President appoint
those Provisional or Military Governorsp
The question Is important. But to that
question the answer, in my Judgment, is
perfectly clear. The President does not
make the appointment of these agents
call them by what name you will, Provl-
sional Governors, Military Governors, COM
missioners, agents, heralds of peace, Gen
erals, anything you please-nor does he
employ these agencies-by virtue of his
authority as a civil magistrate. They are
not civil appointments. They are in no
sense civil officers, for there is no law under
which they are appointed at all. They are
mere military agents of the President, as
commander-in-ch of the army, who is
bound to ascertain the fact, which he must
know before he can discharge this duty of
mastering the forces out and of with
drawing the army. He sends these agents
into the several States for the purpose
of fascertaining whether the rebellion issup-
pressed; not only whether the people have
ceased armed resistance, butintend to submit
in good faith and make no more resistance
to the authority of the Government. These
agents are by him authorized to ascertain
that fact; In substance, to put certain ques-
tions to the people In these States, no mat
ter in what form they are to be answered,
whether by an election, the casting of bal
lots, or by an oath. The question is, @Are
you willing now, in good faith, to submit
TO and accept the true situation which the
war has brought upon youP Are you ready,
as free States, to put on republican form
of Government? And are you determined
hereafter to be lawful and law-abiding cit
liens Of the United States?" Ifthey answer
that they are, what then? @Assure me Of
that, says the President, "and i will with
draw the military power; Twill no longer
hold you uasoommander-in-c as chief IwillnD

POOR UNDERWOOD.

A judgeship- especially a United States
judgeship, has ever been regarded in this
country as worthy to be filled by any gentle
man, but the poor creature who is the so called
judge in Virginia, and whose liberty Ran
Tucker once saved to him over in Clarke
county, has so disgraced the Office that it is
10 longer looked on in the old light. This
man, Underwood, who has not the slightest
appreciation of either judicial dignity or gen
tiemanly deportment-who never had any
knowledge of law and sinks even lis igno>
rance of his profession in the vilest party ran
cor, IS meeting, as he merits, the denuncia-
ton of intelligent and impartial men every
where, for his charge to the grand jury late.
~ convened at Richmond, and for the man
ner in which lie treated the case of Mr.. Da>
Wis. How long is our land to be inflicted bv
such creature and to be disgruced by such
a judge? Cannot the President induce Linn
TO accept a mission to. Hayti or some other
Ike spot far sway from old Virginia?

TO BE LEFT OUT.

1t seems to be the intention Of the obstruc-
tionists in Congress not to present to the
President the proposed amendment to the
Federal Constitution. Their theory is that
having obtained the two thirds vote required
by the Constitution, it is therefore unneces-
sary for the President to sign the resolution.
They thought differently when Mr.. Lincoln
was in Office, for the amendment abolishing
slavery was presented to and signed by him !;
but this Congress has determined to leave
MIR. johnson out of any participation in the
government SO far as they dare-to treat him
as mere nullity; and we are not so sure but
that he will deserve this slight of the Rad
reals ii he fails to put his foot down on this
attempt to ':count him OUT The Constitu-
tlon expressly provides that every resolution
requiring the concurrence Of both houses
shall be submitted to the President for his
approval or disapproval. If this is not done
what right have the several States to pass
upon the amendment at all?

THE CALLED. JADEs VINCE!


The Nc,o Era, the Conservative organ of
old Berkeley, is pouring its hot shot thick
and fast into the camp of the Radical crew,
who not only dishonorcd themselves, but
county and State, by their vote at the recent
election. 1t recommends di6sev GRANGE, as
we have heretofore done. eff all intercourse
socially, politically, if not religiousy, with
the Judae's wLs have betrayed their kith
and kin for the thirty pieces ofsilver,-until
they make, if possible, full restitution. To
this course of treatment the Berkeley Union
is opposed, to which the Era responds as
follows:
The Berkeley Union seems astonishcd that
men who have been DISTINGUISHED, and even
robbed Of their citizenship, should not feel
profound gratitude towards those who have
thus wrOnged them. The idea of their re-
sentng such an outrage, and Of not treating
those who have been guilty of it as worthy
Of their highest confidence, and entitled to
any favor they may ask at their hands. is
absolutely horrible in its estimation. Accord
ing TO its philosophy, the greater the wrong
Il man does his neighbor the stronger his
claim to that neighbours friendship. The
viper that has already stung with his deadly
lanSS, IS StlllstO be held. Gentlemen, YOU
and your political associates have done every
thing in your power to infiict the deepest
possible injury, political, civil and social;
upon at least one half of the citizens Of
Berkeley county. Had you have sought to
rob them of their property you would not
have evinced halfthe malignity towards them,
that you have done, by attempting to deprive
them for life of all the rights and privileges
of citizenship, and place them politically aud
civiliy on an equality with the most ignorant
and degraded negro of the country. You
haze shown yourselves their deadly enemies,
ready to injure and degrade them and their
families, by the most effectual means in your,
power. There is no principle of philosophy,
no sentiment of our holy religion, that requires
them to confide in you or commit their in
tercsts toyour hands. The position in which,
by your own acts Of lawessness and guilty
usurpation, you have placed yourselves in
relation to them, as to all the affairs of gov
ernment and society, is that of ruler to the
ubject-superior to the infcrior-master to
the servant. For them to treat with YOU on
terms of confidence and friendship, while
you stand in this usurpcd position, is to
recognize it as legal and legitimate. 1t is
not Onl y to acquiesce in the wrong you have
done them. but to endorse the political
villainy by which you inflicted it. You have
committed a great crime, a fragrant outrage
against your fellow citizens, who are your
suPcriors in virtue, intelligence and patriotism.
They have a just estimate of your character
and conduct, and will act accordingly.

About the same time, another limb fell upon

MR.. RAyMoND

The 'lIttle villain," as some of the New
York papers have been in the habit of call
ing Mr.. RaymondS is showing very bad
hand in Congress. His Inconsistency has
become bye word. He is charged, to his
face, with speaking one way and voting an
other. He processes to be friend of the
President, and he votes for measures to which
Mr. johnson is known to be opposed. He
processes to desire to see the South brought
back into the Federal fold, and he votes for
measures which he must know that the peo-
pie of the South can never consent to. He
expresses the opinionstha the South is in the
Union, and should be represented in Con-
gress, and he votes just the other way. he
rides both sides of every political fence, but
with all his talents he rides SO clumsily that
he is exciting the ridicnle of the radicals, and
the disgust of sensible men, The papers
throughout the country denounce~ his course
in the strongest language-even the dignified
National LntellIgcncer, thus speaks of him:
I GA letter from Washington, signed r.,
which appeared in the New York Times of
yesterday, has created some speculation as to
what r stands for. If for renegade and re-
creant, then the word Raymond IS synony>
nous with both those termssa. Their precise
meaning, as set down by Webster, is-''oue
taithless to principle"
owe turn over to the Radicals in the
House this inefable political Judas, this most
modern impersonation of all political subtle
ty, mischief hypocrisy, and perfdy They
will receive him, doubtless, with warm en-
brace, but we should not 50 far presume on
such utter loss of manly sentiment even in
venal and degenerate age,~as to suppose for a
moment, that while the disunonists will like
the treachery, they will not scorn the traitor'

TIE UNBLEACHED IN CoUNCIL.-In i'm
itation Of the white folks, and not to be be-
hind in anything, the unbleached American
citizens of this vicinity-both male and fe-
male-held festival, fair or dinner at the
Baptist Church in this town, on Thursday
last, where the African race congregated in
large numbers, and of every shade of color
from the darkest representative of the coasts
of Loango to the fairest offspring of misceg-
nation. They seemed to enjoy themselves
hugely on the occasion, and to wear the hon
ors of freedom with dignity entirely as
sumed and not very becoming. We might
dagucrrcotype some of the leading characters
in this drama, but as the object for which
this dinper was given was professedly of a
religious nature, we must have charity enough
to believe that the actors were Influenced bv
pure motives. At night there was an OK
hibition of the oratorioal qualities of the ''ju-
venile unbleached," aud addresses original
and unoriginal, pointed and unpointed, were
delivered, winding up the performances with
recitatous of the
"YnIIer gal from tie South,
Whose hair was curled so very tight
She could not shut her mouth"
and other equally pathetic and sentimental
selections. We understand that the amount
realized was about $3.50.
