lutlons says: -
1.-THE carefully-worded platform, whereon
Gen. Grant vas last evening presented at
Cooper Institute Tor President, plainly ig-
nores his support as n Republican candidate
or Ms the representative of one distinctively
Republican idea. In that platform we find
no word OF promise, even, that the loyal
governments now being organized in the
Southern States shall be sustained, or that
the loyal people OF those States, who had
the misfortune to be born Black, are to be
guaranteed any rights whatever, So far as
we eau see, almost any lifelong adversary
Of Republican principles and ideas might
stand on that platform, and be supported
thereon AS u candidate for President, In
the long catalogue Of names paraded as Off
GERS OF tile meeting, We remark, among
those Of many good and true men, those OF
several citizens who can only support Gen.

CHIEF JUSTICE GILPIE delivered The opin.
ion of the Court substantially as follows;
This is the first time the cnnsLituti0nalty
Of tho Civil Rights bill, or any provision OF
IT, has been formally presented an argued,
Al the first term Of the Court in the coun-
ty Of Sussex, / tmnk-which was held after
the passage Of the Act of Congress, and
also at the terms which Immediately follow
cd in Kent and New Castle, upon trials of
negroes for ielonies, took occasion to an-
nounce 10 the gentlemen of the bar, that
whenever the question of the constitution
aIily of the Civil Rights Bill as touching
proceedings in the Courts Ol this State,
should be made and argued, we should hold
ourselves bound TO decide It, From that
day 10 this, no ono, in either county, has
shown sufficient interest in the question, to
present and argue il; and so the question
las remained undecided up TO this time.
The precise question raised by the Objec-
pnn pi Mr.. Comegys, ON behalf Of the dc.
feDdnnt, namely, the right OF negro to
give sYIdenes III ihe Courts OF this State,
against white rersop, ty toren Of NE Civil
Rights Bill, and in 66i'raYchtion Of onr
own Act OF Assembly, has ncSrscr hitherto
been presented for our consideratiOn-has
never hitherto arisen here. II has, however,
frequently arisen in other States, and il is
eerlDinly matter OF regret, that the ques-
iion has not been passed upon by the Su-
preme Court OF the United Stntcs.
Ii may possibly turn out, that the testi
muny OF the negro man called US witness,
The New era. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1865-1871, 1867-02-21
CONGRESS-.

The passage in the House of the Ste
vens Military Satraphy Bill, and of the
Bill to establish negro supremacy over
whites in Louisiana, but too plainly in
dicated the diabolical hatred of the
Jacobins who control that Body. The
action of the Senate on the Louisiana
Bill. consigns as we. suppose, to utter
darkness. that hideous measure. And
the Sherman Bill which passed the Sen
ate, and has gone to the House, although
in itself infamous, is better than the
Stevens Bill, in that it gives to the Pres
ident the power of appointment of Gen
erals to control in the South, and no
sentence of death nor imprisonment can
be executed without his approval; in re-
curing universal suffrage for negroes,
it ooes not withhold it from white men.
1t is not certain by any means that the
Senate Bill will pass the House. In
deed it has already encountered the
fierce opposition of Stevens and others
of his ilk, and in return for the defeat
of his infamous Bill, he will doubtle SIS
bring about the defeat of the Senate sub
stitute, and the two iniquities go down
together, because of the rivalry of tn e
Radical leaders. So mote it be.
