Hon. R1cHAnD BUsrEED, Judge of the

Hon. RICHARD BUSTED, Judge OF the
United States District Court of Alabama, is
now in Washington, and was yesterday
warmly greeted by his numerous friends in
Congress-. Judge Busted was one of the
earliest judicial appointments in the south
ern States of the lamented Lincoln, and eve
nv hour has proved the wisdom of the selec-
ton In his bold loyalty and stern Impair.
TALLY, his love of liberty, and his scorn OF
slavery, we learn the priceless value, IN these
trying times, of an incorruptible and patr1-
otic Judge There is no agent of treason so
hurtful as plant judge who strains the law
in the interest of oppression; and II the
South must lie second time chastised, they
will owe the retribution to the false teachers
who believe the Constitution must be forever
construed against the men who saved it
One such example as that OF Bustecd IS
worth legion of those blind guides, and
thousands Of the loyal people of Alabama
will live to bless and honor his name
Wash. Chronicle.
The above compliment to Judge Busted
is no doubt we'll deserved.
We are fortunate in having In this State
District Judge a District Attorney, and
Marshal, all able men, and of undoubted
loyalty. While Judge Brooks very properly
abstains from taking any part in politics, he
does not conceal his views as an earnest,
straightforward Union man. We rejoice
that we have such Judge. In "bold 10y
atty, stern impartiality, and love of liberty, ="
he is not behind Judge Busted. He is,
withal, one of the ablest jurists in the State.

NEW ORLEANS, thursday, Jan. "a.
Gov. Wells has concluded his message to
the Legislature, which meets on the 29th
inst. He approves and favors the adoption
of the Constitutional amendment, assumes
that Congress will require the Southern
States to enfranchise all citizens refers to
the July riots, denouncing the assaults and
the killing of the Convent;onists as an I'M
warranted and unprovoked massacre to graft
fly the hatred felt by the police and mob
against the loyalists; reviews the financial
condition, urging increased taxation to pay
the obligations of the State, and for the
maintenance of its credit He gives favor
able report of the progress of the work on
the levees, and leaves it to the Legislature to
prescribe a system of construction for the
future. He recommends the universal edu-
cation of the masses; suggests division of
the school fund; also an appropriation for
the establishment of schools for freedmen :;
advocates q system of internal improve
ments; calls attention to the early compile
ton of the Opelousas Railroad to Texas;

THE SUPREME CoURT.-The Editor of
the Wilmington Journal writes as follows
from Raleigh to his paper, the Wilmington
Journal:
1.-THE decision OF the Supreme Court in
the matter of Hughes, already published in
the Journal, has excited much comment
among the bar in attendance on that Court
and the members of the Legislature 1t is
almost universally condemned in unmeasur-
ed terms. That such paper, evidently pre-
pared before the beginning of the term and
appended to the case in question with as
much propriety as if it had been to the APP
prentice case, (see elsewhere) or any other
case before the Court, should be Per Curtain,
surprises and mortifes the friends of some of
the distinguished Judges. When the Su-
preme Court enters the arena of politics to
reply to anonymous letters published during
an election long since decided, it is at least
to be regretted that it is not done with more
ability"
The above seems to US strange language
There is no proof that the Supreme Court
has entered the arena of politics.
As to the ability" of the opinion referred
to there can be but one opinion. The Court
has at no time, probably, delivered more
learned or able opinion, whatever may be
thought of the principles laid down in it.

COMMUNICATIONS from Texas represent
that in the north eastern counties of the State
the freedmen are more oppressed and hru-
tally treated than in the days of slavery
Saws the report: "The lash is more cruelty
administered than ever BEFORE" and freed
men who have cultivated land and raised
crops have been robbed of all the fruits of
their toll A member of the grand jury of
Red River County was heard to say that they
dared not indict these criminals known to
them to be guilty. Outrages, from cold
blooded murders down, have occurred, and
there is no one to whom the blacks can ap-
peal for redress. A recent letter from Austin
gives an account of the murder of two freed
men-one near Austin, and the other at
Home Bend. The murderers were white men.
A case IS reported where freedman at
Prairie Lea was cruelty whipped for address
sing young man as "Tom," instead of
Master Thomas Another was shot for
refusing to lend his bottle of whisky to two
white ell. The civil authorities will not
take any steps to bring the offenders to
justice. In Pamela County there exists
gang of five or six white men who live by
robbing the freedmen. The citizens them
selves are afraid of them, and the civil au-
thorities poweress, because witnesses dare
not testify against them. The military
communicate at victoria having refused to
assist the Freedmen's Bureau officers, Gen
eral Griffin, the military commander of the
State. has issued an order to the effect that
all military officers must assist the Bureau
in the contingencies provided for in the
Bureau and Civil Rights acts. The only
cheering news from the State relates to Ia
Dor. General Kiddoo, in recent tour of
observation, found the negroes actively
making contracts for the ensuing CROP
In spite of immigration, there is still a
paucity of laborers.

A Remembrance Against the Confirm
alton of Senator COWan.

The following remonstrance was yesterday
sent to the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations:
We, the undersigned, Representatives in
Congress from the State of Pennsylvania, re-
spectfully request the Senate of the United
States not to confirm the appointment of
Hon. Edgar Cowan as Minister to Austria.
We make the request on the ground that We
believe him to be unfit for the position by
opinion and associations ; that he would
misrcpresent those of his constituents in
your own body, and that his appointment
is totally repugnant to the wishes of the peo
pie of Pennsylvania.

THE BURIAL OF THE ENGLISH MINISTER-RE
PREHENsIBLE CONDUCT OF THE PAPAL NUN
r Gro AND BISHOPS of QUITo-AcTIoN OF
THE AMERICAN MINISTER.
The Cincinnati Gazette states that private
letters received in Columbus, Ohio, from
Quito, Ecuador, give the details OF an occur
renee there which has excited considerable
indignation on the part Of the foreign as
well rs many of the rafive residents OF that
place, Mr.. Neale, the British Minister, died
there early last month, and the Papal Nun
clio refused to allow the remains to be inter-
rcd in Ecuador, claiming that the eonsecra-
ted ground of the cemeteries could not be
polluted by the burial of hereto The CIV
il government took an opposite position, and
ordered the customary respect to be shown
the deceased. Mr.. Meals son preferred, how
ever, to have the body taken to a vault IN
one OF the churches, for the purpose OF be-
ing emoalmed and hen sent to England
The funeral services took place, and the pro-
cession, consisting of the diplomatic corps,
several members of the Ecuadorian govern
ment, a company of soldiers, and Others, had
reached the gate to the church, when the
NuncIo and the Bishop of Quito ordered it
to proceed no further.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs at once Or
dered the soldiers to tear down the wall in
the rear of the church and convey the re-
mains to the vault by that route. Our rep
resentative Mr.. Coggshall, backed by the en-
tire corps, protested against such procee-
ding. declaring that it would he an insult to
the memory of the deceased Minister and the
civilized world, and demanded that they
should he allowed to proceed through the
proper entrance to the church, or not at ALL
The Ecuadorian Minister then announced
that the will of the Government should he
enforced, and directed the troops to clear the
way for the procession. The Church authori-
ties offered no further resistance, and the body
was placed in the vault. AS the funeral par
ty was returning from the church they were
met by an aid de-camp, bearing message
from the President, promising a military
force sufficient to have proper respect shown
| to the remains of the deceased.

A band of robbers visited the premises OF
Mr.. W M. Nelson, on Dawson's Greek, In
Craven County, below Newbern, on FRIDAY
night, and stole his pork, meat. &c.-Senfa"e'.
The Newbern Commercial of a recent date
says:
"Within a radius OF thirty miles from TINS
CITY, during the last twelve months, there
have been perpetratcd we think not fewer
than one hundred cases of rape, murder, ar
son and burglary, to say nothing OF the nun
dreds of cases of minor offences against the
law We are sure We speak within BOUNDS
in saying this And yet how little attention
docs this mass of crime excite! Men toll Tor
season, and in an hour the fruits OF their
labor are swept away. They retire to their
rest. and wake up to find their dwellings In
flames around them. One finds himself
bound and pinioned, whilst his premises are
sacked before his face and is then hurried
off to the woods perhaps to death; another
returns from his duties abroad to ind his
wife or daughter assaulted and detled. Our
public roads are beset by thieves and muir
derers; and everywhere around us there IS
universal feeling of insecurity for life and
property"
During the provisional government OF this
State our people had peace, quiet and order
The only complaint was that returned
Unionists who had been badly treated, OIL
whose families had been outraged during
their absence by the minions of Vance ano
Davis, now and then chastised secessionists
We had nothing like the outrages mentioned
above But the fruits of the new secession
order of things in this State have been bit
ter and deadly. Six months hence, if some
remedy should not be applied, life and pro
perty will be safe in no part of this State
We most earnestly call the attention of mem
bers of Congress to this condition of things
| in North Carolina.

Another Murder in Tennessee.

FROM the NASHVILLE freSS ana Times.
We learn of still another cold-blood-
ed assassination in Obion County.
On Saturday last, one week ago to-
day, MIR. Roland Green, deputy Sheriff,
was shot down and brutally murdered
upon the highway. He had started to
his fathers house in Dyer County, and
when he had proceeded some twelve
miles, stopped at the house of an old
friend of his father. Shortly after
dismounting from his horse, and when
talking to the neighbor, several persons
rode up, and one ofthem shot him in
the breast, inficting wound from
which death ensued in a short time.
There seems to be no room for doubt
that this is part of the same diabol1cal
plot that led to the killing of Case and
kinman, as no other reason can possibly
be ssigned for the dastardly act.
MIR. Green was young man about
twenty.tour years of age, and had been
married about three months to Miss
Blakenship, of the some County. He
and Kinman, who was killed the day
before, were the two deputy Sheriffs of
the County, both of whom have thus
been summarily destroyed. The object
of these desperadoes, whom the people
of the County make no effort to arrest.
is undoubtedly to drive all Union men
away from that section of the State.
The rebels there have already notified
them that they will be driven out if
ahey hold another meeting of the Union
League.

We shall not be surprised to soon find
many of those in the South who have OPP
posed the adoption of the Howard amend
ment as degrading, favoring negro suffrage!
In fact some who were ready to denounce
any man who might favor the Howard
amendment in preference to having harsher
terms forced upon us, are already speaking
favorably of negro suffrage. That's consis-
tency with a vengeance Char. Democrat.
This is what they are doing already. The
organ of Gov. Worth, which has steadily adj
vised the people that the acceptance of the
Howard amendment would be humiliating
and degrading, is now out for negro suffrage.
That amendment leaves it to the States to
say whetherthey will have such suffrage ornot.
It is opposed by the Sentinel and its follow
ers on the ground that it will lead to negro
suffrage and negro equality; and yet that
paper goes abowshot beyond even this false
assumption, and takes ground broadly for
colored suffrage. The secret of this is that
the Sentinel wants its friends to retain the of
fees, and hopes this can be done through
what is called universal amnesty and uni
versal suffrage" That is the milk in that
cocoa-nut.

MONTGOMERY, Thursday, Jan. "a.
The Supreme Court of Alabama in Il case
on appeal from the Lowden County Court
has decided that the existence of the State
was not destroyed by secession, and the mil
itary and political events that followed; that
the Government of the State was de tacto
Government, though not in harmony with
the United States Constitution and Govern
ment, and that all acts under the authority
of such de facto Government before the sur
render, so far as they were executed, are val
id. The validity of such acts does not de-
pend upon the conformity of the law to the
Constitution of the United States. Guar
dams who have madeinvestments in Conted-
crate bonds and received Confederate Treas
ury notes under authority of the act of the
legislature of December, 1861, in good faith
are entitled to credit on account thereof
This decision in this case settles the question
of liability, where an administrator received
Confederate Treasury notes in payment of
debts due the estate.

ior.

in which children of colored parents will be

class that previously had contributed largely
to the city treasury without receiving any
recompense in the way of education. 1t

At State Convention of the Republican
party of Connecticut, recently held, Gov.
Hawey was nominated for reelection and
the following resolutions were adopted:
| ResoIced, That the result of the elections
of the last Autumn, affords new proof of the
devotion of the American people to the fun
damentol principles of free government, and
of their determination to establish and con-
firm Union based upon those principles
only that we congratulate each other and
the country upon that suspicious result, and
pledge ourselves that Connecticut, i'll this re-
spect, shall emulate the example of her loyal
sister States.
ResOlred, That the pending amendment to
the federal Constitution, in the generous
magnanimity of the terms which 1t proposed
to the late insurgents, deserved and should
have received their grateful recognition !;
that its rejection by them proceeds from a
still prevailing spirit of rebellion, and impo-
ses upon the national authority the duty of
establishing the Union upon none other than
Just and durable foundations; that in so do
ing, loyalty to the Republic should be recog
nized as the first of political virtues, and
disloyalty as the worst of political crimes,
and that the protection of all citizens
throughout the Republic in the exercise of
all the rights and immunities guaranteed by
the Constitution should be inviolably Sc
cured.
Resolred, That the only just basis of hui
man governments is the consent of the gov
erned; that, in a representative Republic,
such consent is expressed through the ex-
ercise of the suffrage by the individual citi
zens. and that the right to that exercise
should not be limited by distinctions of race
or color.
