highly honored men of the National Republic,

of the American people, This mans s'pedi-
gree is too we'll known at home to occupy the
thoughts of our people for an instant; but
when person representing the judicial branch
of Government so far forgets himself as to ma
liciousy assail the chastity of the nation and
the capital of the home of the Father of his
Country, he should be corrected. When he
states deliberately, without regard to color, I"
that half the births are Legitimate, he DELHI
His career in this State is too well known to be
easily forgotten. He came here stranger ap-
parently beggar, as an itinerant teacher of
morals and the rudiments of the English
language; he ingratiated himself into the affec-
tons of Virginia lady, by whom he obtained
slave property; he also purchased others, and
when the question of principle Us. interest arose,
this now swelling philanthropist disposed of his
negroes upon the highest market price, to save
his interest at the expense OF his principle, no
matter how paradoxical the proposition and
transaction may appear. When he speaks OF
the prostitution of the ministry and pulpit, he
commits graver, more egregious, sin than has
ever been committed. A more thoroughly re-
ligious set of Christians than the ministers Of
Richmond are not to be found They hardly,
if ever, have preached politics, but have con
fined themselves to the saving of the souls Of
men. When he attempts to censure the press
he makes himself perfect laughing stock. He
has been abused for his ignorance and his i'm
pudence in pretending to occupy the place he
unworthily fills, and for which he is so poorly
qualified He is man of small calibre, and is
so regarded in this community by sensible men.
His origin is doubtful, and his future certain.

be persons after his own heart, and with whom
his learning will be appreciated and his phian

Mr.. Davis Released from Prison on Writ
OfHabeas Corpus,

A Geographic Dispatch, dated Washington,
May 10th, says that the writ of habeas corpus
for Mr. Davis was served this morning on Gen
eral Burton by Marshal Underwood and Deputy
Marshal Duncan. General Burton at first decid-
ed to deliver the prisoner to the Marshal, but
afterwards determined on obeying the writ lit
orally requiring him ito produce the body of
Jefferson Davis before the court" General
Burton, Mr. Davis and family, and the Marshal,
will tomorrow take the steamer for Richmond,
stopping at the 'Spotswood Hotel. General
Burton will, on Monday. personally produce the
body of Mr.. Davis in court. In the event Of
his being released by the Judge under the writ
he will be Immediately re-arrested and placed
on trial on an Indictment for treason. The fol
lowing is copy of General Burton's order:

The National fntelligeneer on Underwood.
A Political Judge.


We publish this morning the remarkable
charge of Judge Underwood to the grand jury
at Richmond. There may be partisans who
will pronounce this an exhibition of nerve and
manliness but we are sorry for them, as we
are profoundly sorry that Judge of court of
the United States found it comport with his
ideas of judicial impartiality and professional
dignity to deliver political harangue from the
bench which we will not permit ourselves to
characterize in the terms it deserves. If the
wholesale villlflcatlOn OF an entire community
was true: if the tribute paid the notorious
spokesman OF condscatlon was deserved, there
could be no possible excuse for them coming
from the lips Of one sworn to administer justice
in the very court over which he is called to pre-
side. AS it is, history will take care of the
man who has permitted the politician to absorb
the judge, and the very enormity Of the offence
of one who thus prostitutes the bench of justice
to the base purposes Of party should lift the
people whom he maligns above the affront he
seeks to put upon them, and should awaken a
universal feeling Of Indignation throughout the
nation, whose honor is assailed by the gross
misconduct of one of its judicial representatives

This harangue not only exhibits the ignorance
of Underwood, but directly shows that his con-
ceution of all the principles of law and reason
have escaped him, if ever his wool gathered
Uranium was Inhabited by any such wisdom. Il
was his duty to have charged the jury as to the
Importance OF such momentous questions as will
probably be presented to their consideration !;
but instead of such advice this political Judge
advances opinions which, upon the whole, are
not only d;sgraceful to his own responsibility,
but to that Of the American people, when he
deliberately charges that half the births were
illegitimste'' lp the city Of Richmond. Such .
charge upon what all men know to be one Of

Another Street Car Difficulty.

Another difficulty occurred in Richmond on
last Tuesday, between negro and the conduc-
tor of the street cars and the police The Rich
mond Times says:
1.-Two attempts were made by dark-hue
negro, named Ben Scott, to ride in one of the
two street cars which we're recently set aside ex-
clusively for the use of ladies and other white
people. The first effort was made about noon
in the neighborhood Of the Old Market, when
Scott got inside of car No. 4, bearing a white
ball on top, where he sat, against the remon-
STRANGE of the conductor. till policeman Whit
lock was called upon and ordered him to get
out The fellow sulkily obeyed and voluntarily
proceeded to the station house but there being
no specific charge lodged against him, he was
not held in custody. Shortly afterwards he
again boarded the car as it was turning up Ninth
street to Broad, swearing as he took his seat
therein that he had a right to ride wherever
the whites could, and he would see who would
dare prevent him from doing so. Protestations
were entered by the conductor, but still the fell
low kept his seat. Finally, as all other means
had failed, and there was no policeman near at
hand to eject the intruder, the experiment of
running the car off the track was resorted to-
of the coach, and, fourishing big stick which
he carried, started towards the Custom House,
remarking as he did so, ''By Cd, that car
shall never run after to-day. Judge Under
wood is in town now, and he'll see who is to
rule here" The affair created some little excite
ment though owing to the locality in which it
took place, but few negroes gathered around,
and soon quiet was restored, and the cars pass
ed along as usual.
Our readers will remember that about two
weeks since, in consequence of a disturbance
which occurred because of the ejectment of some
negroes from street car it was agreed by the
railway company, after consultation with Gen
eral Scho6eld, to run four of the six cars that
are on the line for negroes and whites to ride
in; the other two to be used by whites exclu-
sively-said ears to be designated by white
ball on the top. But this, it appears, has not
given them satisfaction, and they now express
their intention of riding in any car which they
like. Should this purpose be persisted in,
much trouble will doubtless ensue therefrom. =
Already huniliating concessions have been
made to the blacks, and we can't see how any
further compromise can be entered into AS
to the case in point, the VIGOROUSLY bad char
acter Of the impudent fellow is ofitsef sufficient
reason to exclude him from contact with people
of responsibility, leaving entirely out of view
the fact that he is negro.
