derwood complimented General Burton upon
obey ing the laws and relieved him of the
custody Of Davis, whom the Marshal imme-
diately served on him bench warrant to
answer to the Norfold indictment. His
counsel, O'Connor, spoke Of bis long impris'
onment and feeble health, and asked that
be be bsiled. No opposition was made on
the par: of the prosecution, and his bail was
fixed at 100000. The Judge announced

Underwood, before admitting Davis to bail,
received an anonymous telegram as follows:
"Bewgre of Greeley. Remember Libby
prison, AndersonviIle and Belle Isle. Fifty
millions, looking on three hundred thousand
patriot graves, cry aloud for revenge"
The Times special dispatch says: The
blanks left in Davis's bond we're filled BY the
signatures of Jewett Smith and Cornelius

County Hospital Contract.

The present board OF Supervisors seem de,
termined TO swiudle the people out Of por-
tion Of the bard paid tax money, which goes
into the County Treasury, in the Infamous
way in which they continue to let the Hos
pital contract. On Saturday last they let
this contract to DR.. S. F. Chaplin, for the
term Of one year from the 10th inst at ST.
800, while DR.. F. w. Todd had bid in for
$1,000 for the same service. One year ago
the same Board perpetrated similar trick
upon the people Of this county. They ought
TO be prosecuted for sqoanderug the peoples
money.
The Board give no reason, or put none on
record for this act, neither is it recorded that
Dr.. Todd made bid. We learn incidently
that the Clerk OF the Beard, Mr.. Lyon. in.
formed one Of our prominent citizens that
the members of the Board refused DR.. Todd's
bid because they did not think him compe-
tent. If so, why did not the Board put it
upon record, and not 60 privately and give
their reason for extravaganza. "stabbpg a
man in the back" such acts are contempt,
bic and cowardIy. Not competent forsooth!
Why every ybody knows that DR.. Todd has
more intelligence in his little finger than a
dozen such sap-heads as compose the Board.
The Board Of Supervisors thought DR.. Todd
very competent when in partnership with DR..
Thomas be attended to the Hospital for
q year.
We think the people are beginning to see
and know that charge of officers is neces
sary. If the Abotionsts think there is
any political thunder in this way Of stealing
the peoples money they are welcome to it.

New York Specials.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The Times
Washington special says: The Judi
ciary Committee have suspended the
examination of the impeachment wit
nesses, but will resume their labors
about the first of May, when, whether
Congress Is In session or not, all of its
members have been notified to be here
by its chairman.
1t is asserted by some of Buffers
friends that the eighteen pages spolia-
ted from Booths diary contained evil
dence regarding the preparations for
the assassination, and the reasons for
the abandonment of the abduction plot.
The fact is, however, THAT all the evil
dence that has ever been ELECTED in re-
gard to this diary, goes to show that it
Is now in precisely the condition in
which ii was when taken from Booths
body. Detective Baker was one who
affected knowledge of the contents OF
10 pointed examination, could prove
nothing that he had said.
Among the nominations sent to the
Senate to-day, 9th, were the following:
Gen. II. W. Slocum, to be naval officer
OF New York; j. @. G. Kennedy, to be
Commissioner of Agriculture, vice New
ton.
The Herald's Washington special
says: AS to the impeachment matter,
the Oldest member of the Judiciary
Committee, both in parliamentary ex-
perience, and in years, has said within
the last twenty-four hours, that the
committee will notify all persons to
bring forward their evidence, and init
mated that there were none such before
the committee at present, and this
seems to be the belief of those who are
on the most intimate relations with the
Chairman of that committee.
The Tribune's New Orleans special
says: General Sheridan's order No. 5.
just out, sweeps from Office the rioters
Attorney General Heron, Mayor
Munroe and Judge Able, substituting
good and loyal men, filling the hearts
of Unionists with joy and the rebels
with dismay. The grand army and
Butler organization presented five
thousand voters, and recommended a.
@. Yarmouth for Mayor, but he de-
clined, and second agreement falling,
the choice was LEFT with General Sheri-
dan. Such changes are thought to re-
vive the chances of the campaign, as
the city may carry the State.
The Tribune's Washington special
denies the statement that Mr.. Wilson's
resolution will be reported favorably
upon by the Judiciary Committee; the
resolution was not referred to that
committee, nor any other, but lies on
the table of the Senate.

THE following important bill is now
pending before the United States SEN
ate, having been offered by Senator
Wilson, OF Massachusetts, on the sd
inst. 1t is called
A bill to Regulate the Elective Fran
chise in the United States.
Whereas, The fourteenth article of the
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States has been ratified by a
sufficient number of States, and is
therefore part of the fundamental law;
and whereas, the first section of said
article of amendment declares that "aIl
persons born or natuTalized in the uni
ted States, and subject 10 the Jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the States wherein they reside:'
and that mo State shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of
the United States; and whereas, the
said fourteenth article of amendment
to the Constitution empowers Congress
to enforce by appropriate legislation
the provisions of said article; therefore,
Be il enacted Gy the Senate and House
Of Representatives. Of the United States
Of america, IN Congress assembled That
there shall be no denial of the elective
franchise to any male citizen of the
United States by any State on account
of color or race or previous condition,
anything in the Constitution or laws
of any State to the contrary notwfth-
standing.
Section 2. And be it further enacted,
That each and every person who shall
violate the provisions of this act shall,
on conviction in any court in the Uni
ted States, be fined for each and every
Otfense not less than 81, 900, or be i'm
prisoned not less than six months, or
both, at the discretion of the court.
Experienced lawyers have decided
that such a law is perfectly constitu-
tional. It's enactment would cut the
Gordian knot in every State where
there is any distinction in regard to
suffrage. and would rescue Maryland
once more from the rapacity OF the re-
stored traitors.
