Negroes not Eligible to the United States
Senate or House of Representatives.

If the decision of the Supreme Cour'
in the bred Scott case is of any authori ty
or force, negroes are ineligible to either
branch of Congress. The verdict of thai
highest Court decided that negroes were
not citizens according to the Constitu
ton, which provides that seven years
citizenship is required as essential to a
representative in the lower House, and
nine years citizenship before one can
occupy seat in the Senate. Admitting
the legality and constitutionality of the
Lincoln proclamation of emancipation
of 1862, no negro has been a citizen
sufficiently long to entitle him to a seat
in either legislative body. Such is the
view presented by New York paper.
The same argument will apply to the
State Legislature.

facts relative to the coming trial Of jeff.
Davis arc from the hest authority: The
trial is set for the 18th Monday in Novem-
Der, and as the Government will not inter
terc there will be no postponemcnt by
counsel on either side. The offence of
levying war against the United States will
be testified to by Judge Scarborough, Of
Norfolk, Hon Jno Good, member Of the
Confederate Cong ress, and Capt. Hendven
who were compelled to appear before the
Norfolk grand jury and testify to facts
upon which the Indictment wls made
There will be very few, if any, witnesses
for the defence, the fact of levying war
being admitted. The prosecution will
then proceed with the argument that the
prisoner is guilty of treason. Counsel for
defence will argue that he, being n citizen
of the State, under its laws, prior allegl-
ance was due to it, and not to the Unite
States. 1t has been positively asserted
that Judge Chase would preside, but as
the Supreme Court commences its session
