The release of Mr. Davis from his
long captivity, has thrilled with Joyful
emotions thousands of sympathising
and grateful hearts. His prosecutors
could not do this act of justice, except
upon bail monstrously excessive and
oppressive; but nevertheless, though
coupled with this manifestation of ty-
rafny, it will be hailed with joyful
emotions And this very act of an

stronger colors the noble generosity
of Mr.. Greeley and other Northern
gentlemen, who came forward to be.
come parties to his bond. If Mr.. Da-
Wis has suffered vicarious punishment
for the people who called him into
their service, while they brood over
his misfortunes, it will be their pride
to know that as a prisoner in his soil
tary cell, as well as the chief of the
Government they established, he has
kept his honor bright as his shield,
The incarnation ofpurity and chivalry.
his character shines radiant through
the clouds of calumny with which the
malicious and the uncharitable have
sought to envelOp it.

The recent disturbance between the
whites and colored people of Rich.
mond should, we think, teach all wb :
expect to reside and rear families in
the South the importance of favouring
kindly relations between the two
races. The fruits of such doctrine as
has been laid before the negroes of
Virginia recently, tends to exasperate
them and to promote what was called
by one of their papers ga black man S
party We should look upon such
an organization as fraught with infinite
evil to the social safety as well as the
material prosperity of the South We
hope to see all the political rights in
tended by law secured to the colored
people. More, the great mass of that
race neither desire nor expect
But the attempt to precipitate con-
fiscation and other social relations
than those which have existed hereto
fore is unwise and dangerous. 1t is
especially to be noted that: l. The
Richmond colored rioters would not
obey the orders of Gen. Schotield,
given to them by him in person. 2.
They were dispersed by the bayonets
of Federal soldiers. We have heard
intimations here that the colored peo-
pie have been advised here and else
where to employ their power for them
selves, and to nominate a colored
ticket. These things all look to form
ing a division upon the basis ofcolor,
and may tend in time to array all the
whites against the blacks. This would
be very bad for the blacks, and for US
who rely upon employing their labor.
We trust these riots will not come any
farther South, and that they will not
degenerate into a war of colors.-N.

tits rather a strange fact that Cali
fornia, which few years ago depend
ed solely upon the Eastern markets
for breadstuffs, should now be engaged
in shipping such enormous quantities
of the same commodity to the Allan
tic States. Wheat is now raised in
California and sent to New York at
competing rates with our own grain.
This is ~in part due to the fact fhat
everything in California is on gold
basis, while here, deprecated, if not
worthless paper currency rules as n
medium. Flour sells in San Francis
co at Sc so, against $50 barrel here,
leaving abundant margin for freight
age and profit on shipments.-Ex-

AGAINST the appellant in said sttach-
mont which Halter is attempting to
enforce by execution. The bill pray
cd for an Injunction, &C., Andrews
answered. denying the alleged fraud;
and Halter filed an answer denying the
fraud alleged, and at the same time a
demurrer to the whole bill. This
demurrer was sustained, the Injunction
dissolved, and the bill dismissed, and
hence this appeal.
The first error assigned is the dis
missal of the bill on the demurrer.
tits a general rule of pleading in
Cbancarv- that if there is a demurrer
to the whole bill, an answer to a part
of il is inconsistent with it, and will
overrule it. Story's Eq., Pl. 442. In
this case, the grardnae'H or the blu was
the fraud committed against the ap-
pellant by Andrews in conjunction and
combination with Halter, in the form-
err prevailing on him not to attend the
Circuit Court and answer the Attach
ment. and in the lstter taking Judg-
ment against him when he knew that
he owed Andrews nothing and was not
liable to the Attachment. This
charge of fraud is denied by the An
swer of Halter, and at the same time
demurrer was filed to the whole bill
The answer wasmanifestly inconsistent
with the demurrer,t he former being a
denial of the alleged fraud, and the lat
ter being an admission of it. The an
swer was probably filed on the idea
that it was necessary and allowable to
deny the charge of fraud, in order to
the fling of a demurrer to the bill.
But there is no just foundation for
this, for the reason that an answer al
ways overrules q demurrer since 1t
operates as waiver of it, upon all
matters to which they both extend
and unless the parts of the bill to which
they severally apply are different and
distinct. Story, Supra.
The case, then, must be regarded as
standing on the answer of the appellee
Halter, to the bill, and it was error to
dismiss it as on demurrer. The de
cree is. therefore, reversed, and the
cause remanded for further proceed
/ ings in the Court below.
The same decree is ordered in the
case of Carey p. Patterson VS.. Jacot
/ Halter and VIM. Andrews, No. 10,076

Speaker COIfax ON the Ffnality of
the Reconstruction Laws

No man in the Republican ranks can
speak with higher authority than the
presiding officer of the House of Rep
resentatives. No man possesses larg
er share of their confidence nor has
equal opportunity of knowing the
views of the dominant party. He was
elected by their unanimous voice Spea-
ker of the House of Representatives
of the 18th Congress, and again re-
elected by the same voice to preside
over the present House. He partici-
pated in the passage of the Recon
struction Bills; and was party to the
agreement which binds Congress to
the restoration of the Southern States
to co-equality with the others in the
event of their compliance with the
conditions which they embrace. In a
speech delivered in New York as late
as the 9th inst, he declared that Con
gress would stand firmly by this
pledge We ask the attention of those
who permit their doubts on this sub
ject to be a umbling block in the way
of their registering and voting for a
Convention and for delegates commit
ted to the policy of accepting the pro-
posed terms, to the following emphat
ic utterances contained in the address
of this prominent Republican leader;
The vast majority in the South are
ignoring all their lifelong prejudices,
and Fastening to accept these terms,
nor need / say to you that, having care
fully and hastily elaborated these laws,
having passed them, and repassed them
over the inevitable veto of the Execu-
tive, the great party a0hich has thus be-
come respoalsiB for Hfm intend TO stand

plighted word to the people has meyer
been broken, and will not be now. L
regret, indeed, that Mr.. Summers

ton as q condition of reconstruction
did not prevail, but / hope the good
sense of the Southern people will es-
tablish it voluntari y, insuring them
warmer welcome as they return to the
Council Board.

Seeing that unconditional negro suf-
.frage is not tolerated in any of the
Northern States, and that in most of
them, the negroes are not allowed to
vote at all, a Northern exchange asks
why the Radicals have not displayed
the same energy in securing negro
suffrage there, that they have in the
Southern States 1t explains the APP
parent inconsistency in this way:
1.-The radicals have counted certainly
upon the votes of the negroes of the
South en- neasse in their favor They
were afraid to trust the negroes of
the North, who had lived among them
and understood them too well to vote
as they did"

Citizens who are refusing to regis
ter because they are Disguised with
the present condition of affairs, must
remember that they are in effect dele
eating to others the power to register

satisfied with the results which may
follow as a consequence of their re
fusal to participate in the elections,
they will reproach themselves for neg
lecting to perform an important duty.

The following despatch has been
telegraphed from Washington:
Leading Republicans are tele-
graphing here from different sections
of the North their Reputation of
Thad. Stevens confiscation doctrine"
Upon this, the New York Tribune,
probably the ablest Of the Radical pa
pers, offers the subjoined remarks:
We do not see why 0'leading Repub-
licans' shoul put themselves to that
trouble Able and eminent as Mr..
Stevens is, his confiscation speech
awoke no single echo in Congress.
And his recent letter serves only to
render more palpable the truth that
Henry Wilson, in his speeches at the
South, utters the sentiments of at
least nine-t enths of the Republican
party.
In single contingency only do Mr..
Stevens peculiar views threaten to as
sumo importance. Should the Dem
oeratic majority in the present Con
gress serve his ends as thoroughly as
they did in the last. he may be able
somewhat to impede the admission of
members from the States soon to be
reconstructed. Thus the conditions
of reconstruction were rendered far
more onerous to the ex-rebels than a
majority of the Republicans desired
and prescribed. We have a strong
hope that this ''little game of the two
extremes will not be repeated.
