ance of listlessness utterly at war
with his restless activity. His face
and head are round, the later bald,
with fringing of whitish-yellow
hair around the base. He wears
glasses. His motion is shambling
and "don't care and bis attitude
awkward. On the whole, his ap.
pearance is striking, and while
eliciting criticism, conciliates a
kind Judgment. The mission on
which he came, combined too to
secure him the most favorable dis.
position of our people. Probably
to no one man is the liberation of
Mr.. Davis so much due as to Hor-
ace Greeley. The position he oc-
cupied with respect to the party
most disposed to seventies, ena-
bled him to speak with powerful
effect, and to furnish a shelter for
those who might follow his coun
sells, but with less claim to the in
diligence of the dominant parties.

The Argument for it.

Charl es Sumner, in the course
of his letter in favor of forcing, by
national interposition, negro suf.
frage upon the whole country,
which we have previously noticed,
says: w "
"This question must be settled
without delay. In other words, it
must be settled before the Presi,
Dental election which is at hand.
Our colored fellow citizens at the
South are already voters. They
will vote at the Presidential cleo
ton. But why should they vote at
the South and not at the North
The rule of justice is the same for
both. Their votes are needed at the
North as well as at the South.
There are Northern States where
their votes can make the good
cause safe beyond question. There
are other States where their votes
will be like the last preponderant
weight in the nicely:balanced
scales. Let our colored fellow-citi-
zens vote in Maryland, and that
State, now so severely tried, will
be fixed for human rights forever.
Let them vote in Pennsylvania, and
you will give more than 10000
votes to the Republican cause.
Let them vote in New York, and
the scales, which hang so doubtful,
will incline to the Republican
cause. 1t will be the same in Con-
necticut."
Is not that statesman like ar
gument? The votes of the blacks
must be had in order to give the
Republican party success in the
large and important States of the
North! The white people would
vote down this Radical organiza-
ton, unless black reinforcement
is thrown in its favor. To rule the
majority of the whites even in the
North, the negro must be employ
ed; and this is the main reason Civ
en- in favor Of negro suffrage by its
friends.

The Kentucky Election,

The special Congressional elec.
tion held in Kentucky, resulted in
a more sweeping Democratic vic.
tory than even the most sanguine
had hoped for, from the fact that
there were three parties in the
field. The result shows that the
Radicals have met with most dis,
astrous defeat, from which they
will never recover. We have made
a. gain of five members and the
delegation will be unanimously
Democratic. Our net gain of Con-
gressmen this spring is eight-three
in Connecticut-and we have a
fair prospect of carrying Califor-
mia, the, only State that is yet to
elect Congressman. Let the De-
mocracy of Ohio now 60 vigorous.

From che Richmond (Va) Whig.l
The NOtabilities in the DAVIS Trial.

The NOtabilitieS in the Davis Trial.
This being the first appearance
Of Mr.. O'Connor in Richmond, curl,
osity combined with his great fame
as lawyer, his spotless reputation
as a gentleman, and the extraordi-
nary interest felt in the case of
which he was the leading counsel,
to render him the focus of all eyes.
He is an exceedingly pleasant-look-
ing gentleman, about five feet nine
or ten inches in height, rather
slight of frame, the summit of his
head bald, but partially concealed
by the white hair which was brush
ed across it, whiskers, closely trim
med and extending from ear to ear,
head not large nor forehead mas.
sive although high and free from
wrinkles. His glance is quick and
pleasant, his action also quick, but
gentle and graceful. His counten-
ance beams with cheerful benig-
nifty. Only his eyes bespeak him
the full man that he is. They grow
like diamonds of first water. He
does not use glasses. To compare
him with gentlemen generally
known, we would say that he near
ly resembles Hon. Allen T. Caper-
ton, of Virginia, in figure and fea-
ture, while his expression is close
~ like that OF fellow-country-
man, the excellent Darcy Paul,
ofPetersburg.
Next to Mr.. O'Conor, and engag-
ed in an animated conversation
with him, sat the Hon. VIM. B.
Reed of Philadelphia, who has been
among US before. Mr.. Reed is ra-
ther portly, with large head, pro-
minent forehead, is slightly bald,
ruddy in complexion, and wears
neither whiskers nor moustacbe.
Next came Hon. James Lyons, of
this city; Mr.. Shea, .of New York,
and j. r. Tucker, Esq. On the op,
posite side of the table (as indica-
ted in our diagram) sat Mr.. Ould,
the remaining counsel for Mr.. Da-
Wis.
On the same side with Mr.. Ould,
and confronting Mr.. O'Conor, sat
Mr.. Chandler, the United States
District Attorney, and WIN. Evarts,
ESQ, Of New York, who had been
engaged by the Government to as
sist in the prosecution.
MIR. Evarts, who is a distinguish
ed lawyer is of medium height,
spare of frame, pale and of grave
aspect.
At about II o'clock buzz which
ran through the room announced
the entrance of Horace Greeley,
who took a seat at the foot of the
table beside Mr.. Augustus Schell,
of New York. These two citizens
are as opposite as the poles in
politics, but were present for a
common purpose-that of entering
surety for Mr.. Davis should he be
admitted to bail. Mr.. Schell is a
prominent Democrat. Mr.. Gree
ley every thing else. The former
is a stout gentleman with strongly
marked features,gr side-whiskers,
and wears glasses. Mr.. Greeley is
as indescribable in his personal ap-
pearance as in his politics. His
ruling expression is that of gener-
ous good nature, with an appear

LAST year the Democracy of Lam
caster, Pa, only elected their city
ticket by Isl majority. On Friday
last, George SanderSon, Esq, editor
of the Intelligencer, a Democratic
paper, was elected Mayor by 511
majority. This is the city in which
Thaddeus Stevens resides, and the
Radical candidate for Mayor was
his particular pet, advocating with
Stevens, mild punishment for the
guilty and modelat confscation.'
After the result was known, the
Democrats marched past old Thad's
house, and his saddle colored house
keeper was greatly out of humor.
The Intelligencer POLITICALLY adds:
There was noise in town last night
OF music and of cheers -
Old Thad and all his party friends
Were almost touched to tears.
With loud huzzas the night was rent;
Itwas q sight to see:
Darn the way the election went!
