u,gbIx Important Decision.

In the Circuit Court of Nelson county
last week, in the case of Walker u.s.
Loving, Judge Shctfey decided the follow
ing important and very interesting queS-
tons:
/. That contracts made during the exist
ence of a de ,fdcto government were valid
and binding notwithstanding the SubSe-
oucnt overthrow of that government.
2. That the sale of a slave in Virginia,
in the Confederate lines, prior to the ION
of April, 1865, was valid and binding not
withstanding the emancipation clause III
the Alexandria Constitution.
The case was ably argued by Judge
Brockenbrough, of Lexington, for the
plaintiff, and Robert Whitehead, Esq, OF
Nelson, for the defendant. Judge Brocken-
brough maintained the affirmative and Mr..
Whitehead the negative of these pro-
positions.
We understand the opinion of the Judge,
which is regarded as a very able one, will,
bv the unanimous request Of the bar, be

sable auditors to exact respect Tor them
selves by the absence of respect in their own
conduct towards others. These unwise
teachers cause negroes to go arm in arm
along the streets, compelling men and wo-
men to yield the footway. Lessons on Afri-
can dignity, taught by sermonizcrs, and in
veterate hatred to Southern people sought
to be inculcatcd by political preachers in
African schools and churches, have be-
gotten much of that i'll feeling between
races which has been developed in yio-
lence and bloodshed. The Civil Rights
bill has been of late an exhaustless theme
of discussion among blacks and negroPhi-
lists of this city. Suits pending, involving
the constitutionality of the measure, and
social privileges sought to be conferred,
have given fresh impetus to the idea that
African manhood and perfect equality OF
races must everywhere be asserted.
Superadded to this source OF EVIL was
the discharge, in this city and adjacent
States, of vast numbers of colored soldiers.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE Missouri
TEST OATH.-We find in one Of our St.
Louis exchanges report of a speech de-
livered in that city week or more since
by Hon. John Hogan, in which occurs the
following passage:
81 tell you, in the case Of Cummings,
which was taken to the Supreme Court,
that Court has declared the oath Of Mis-
souri, to be unconstitutional. 1t is true, no
written opinion has been made, but have
it from one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court themselves. / speak what | know
when I say this. But part of that Court
were anxious, as far as possible, to preserve
their party power, and they got one man
of the majority of the Court to agree that
the decision should not be published
until next December. Shame, shame, on
the Supreme Court of the United States.
With its ermine trailcd in the dust, its
glory has departed. We have fallen on evil
times; we have got at the head of that
court politician, and | say we have got
to chase him off of it. Cheers.l He Is
there to subserve a mere temporary, parti-
san purpose. He has trailed the glory of the
Supreme Court in the dust, and rendered
it disreputable for anybody to have any
thing to do with it. [Cheers.r
Let West Virginia, Maryland, and Ten
nessee, as well as the Radicals in Congress,
take warning.

What Manner of Man General Blair il.
The Radicals the other day rejected the
nomination of General Blair as collector
at St. Louis. General Grant is said to ia
vor his confirmation. We arc gratified to
know that the President, with General
Grants appreciation, nominated for Office
man who makes such speeches as the
following:
Fellow citizens,-I rejoice to be able to
congratulate you upon the speech that you
have Just listened to from our distinguished
representative from the first district. Hon.
John Hogan, a Copperhead.l l think the
people of that district are fortunate in
having such representative at this impor-
tant crisis. He has discharged his duty to
the people of that district in a manner
which commends him to the entire people
of our State. Forgetful of mere party
platforms, he has stood throughout his
term of service boldly in favor Of the
whole people of this country. And it
gives me the highest gratiication-th
greatest pleasure-to be able to hail him,
with the rest of you, "Well done, good
and faithful servant" We are only un-
fortunate in not having more John 1io-
gans in Congress at this time. [Cheers.l
In the present attitude of affairs, the
condition of our State demands that
we should have proper representatives at
Washington. Unfortunately we have men
who misrepreSent the sentiment of our
pcople-men who do not represent the
public sentiment of the State, or the pub
lie sentiment of any decent portion of this
country. [Cheers.l And we must get rid
of them. [Cheers.l Notwithstanding the
laws which they have passed to keep them
selves in office, we must get them out of
office! [Cheers.l The State would be
better off, as all the Southern States are,
without any representation at all. [Cheers.l
And rather than be diSgraced by such a
set of " bumps on a log" as these fellows
are, we had better be as Louisiana and the
balance of those States are, without any
representatives at all. [Cheers.l And if
it were not for Hogan and NOEL, we ought
to prefer to be in the position Of those
States whose representatives are excluded
from this Rump Congress in Washington.
[Cheers.l Gentlemen, l know you came
here to listen to Mr.. Hogan. | came to
hear him, and not to speak myself, and |
only came forward from an irresistible i'm
pulse to congratulate him and to congratu-
late you, and having done so, | beg that
you will now excuse me.

The KENTUCKY RESOLUTIONS or 1866
The celebrated Kentucky resolutions OF
'9s were once regarded as an embodiment
Of the doctrines of sound republican 60
vernmcnt. The resolutions passed by the
State Convention recently held In Louis
vile are likely to become equally famous
at least IL the Government is TO DO re-
stored to its ancient purity. They were
evidently drawn up by the pen of man
profoundly vcrsed in the history of the
world as well as of our Government and It's
Constitution. The epitome published by
us a few days since gives but faint idea
of the skill and ability evidenced in the
text. We know not the name of the au-
thor, but he may well be proud of his
work.

GRANT AND LEE AGAIN PITTED AGAINST
EACH OTHER.-We are told in Washington
letters that Thad. Stevens nominated Gene
raj Grant for the Presidency in his speech
oflast Friday, saying thatthe contest for that
position is fast narrowing down to choice
between Grant and Lee. A short time
ago, Thad. said that in less than four years
the whole power of the Government would
be in the hands Of the rebels and their SYM
pathizers. Logically, therefore, he must
believe that Lee will beat Grant.
