Chief Justice Chase.

The N. Y. Tribune noticing
Chief Justice CHAsE's late de-
cision at Baltimore, respecting
the Negro Apprenticeship Act
of Maryland, thus comments !:
"The Importance OF this great
and just decision will not be
overlooked or forgotten by the
friends of impartial justice.
There was time when nobody
ever thought Of looking to the
Chief Justice of the United
States for a word or act in fa-
vor of a black citizens citizen
ship. That time, thank Heav-
en-, is past. 1t is a matter Of
pride to the nation that not
only one of its most intellec.
tual men, but one of its most
ardent champions Of liberty,
sits in the supreme seat of
American justice. The great
and good man whose generous
instinct and scholarly taste
lent to ABRAHAM LINCOLN the
beautiful closing sentence of
the Proclamation of Emanci-
alton, now receives, not only
the thanks of one humble pc
titioner, ELIZABETH TURNER,
whom his just Judgment has
delivered from oppression, but
the thanks also of that great
political party which is proud
to recognize him as one of Its
ablest, purest and bravest lead
ers-one whom it ought always
delight to honor, and one whom
it may need, at some eXigency,
to call from the nations high
est judicial to the nations
highest executive seat"

The Augusta Chronicle gets
off the following slur at the
voters at the late Georgia elec-
ton: "a few scalawags were
seen to approach the polls dur,
ing the day, most of them
throwing furtive glances to the
right and left, to see if their
presence in the ebony crowd
was noticed. We are informed
that not a few pale faces sought
admission to the polls through
the back door to avoid the OBJ
servation of those they were
ashamed would see them COM
NIT themselves to the negro
programme. We have much
less contempt for a man who
marches openly and boldly up
to the dirty work which the
Radical party requires, than for
the miserable, cowardly sneak
who crawls through back alleys
and by-ways to accomplish the
same purpose"

The VIRGINIA Election.

The combined efforts of a
treacherous President, North
ern Copperheads ard the lead
ers of the North % defeat the
Congressional pa, of recon
struction in Virginia, would
not bring about result at all
favorable to their wishes. Old
Virginia has said emphatically
that she will stand by Con
gress. Sixtynine counties give
a majority Of thirty-two thous-
and in favor ci a Convention,
and that Convention will re-
organize the State in conform
ity with the requirements of
that body. The blacks just
enfranchised give evidence of
good conduct, and their vote
was unanimous for a Conven-
ton. The whites outnum Der
the blacks by fourteen thous-
and in the State, and it can
be seen that in Virginia, the
stronghold of the enemy, there
is a good army of Republicans.
More Southern States will
will keep the ball in motion,
until the whole South will have
been successfully revolution
lied, and a powerful spirit Of
Republicanism will grasp the
power that Rebels have so
wantonly abused, and send to
Congress a delegation of loyal,
though some be Wach men!
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1867-11-07

WE learn from the Gettys-
burg Star and Sentinel that
previous to the late October
election, the Democracy OF
that State sounded" Major
General Meade as to his fit
ness for the Presidency. The
politicians presented the case
very plausibly and urged the
General to become their can
didate. He replied substan.
TALLY that there were three
difficulties in the way:
First-He preferred his pres
ent position-a Major General
in the regular army.
Second-He had no taste for
the duties of the Presidency.
Third-He called himself a
Republican, and intended vo.
ting the Republican ticket at
the October election.
The "committee" we're salts
fed that nothing could be
done, and left in deep, but de-
served humiliation. The hero
of our great battle is faithful
to the flag, and the principles
for which he fought.

WE give below an ex ract
from a speech made by SAT-
AUX, the Senior chief of the
Kiowa nation, upon the con-
clusion of the late treaty of
peace. There appears to be
two sides to every question,
and the old chief speaking
"lrom his standpoint" tells the
whites of some of their short.
comings: E.
81 come to say that the Kio-
was and Uomanches have
made with you a peace, and
they intend to keep it. If it
brings prosperity to us, we, of
course, will like it better. If
it brings prosperity or adver-
sity we will net abandon it. 1t
is our contract, and it shall
stand. Our people once car
ried war against Texas. We
thought the Great Father
would not be offended, for the
Texans lad gone out from
among his people and become
his enemies. You tell us they
have made peace, and returned |
to the Great Family. The XII
owas and Comahches will now
make no bloody trail in their
!anti. They have pledged their
honor, and that word shall last
unless the whites shall break
their contract and invite the
horrors of the war. We do
not break treaties. We make
but few contracts, and them
we remember well. The whites
make so many that they are
liable to forget them. The
white chiefs seem not to be
able to govern their braves.
The Great Father seems pow.
erless in the face of his child
ren. He sometimes become
angry when he seeE the wrongs
of his people committed on his
red men, and his voice be-
comes loud as the roaring
but like the winds it
lies away, and leaves the sui.
