The Conservative Convention which as
sembled in Richmond last week was COM
posed of the ablest and best men of the
State. There were two questions of the
gravest Importance to be decided by them.
First, should they nominate candidates at
ALP Second, what sort of men should be
put in nomination?
Y The ticket offered to the people Of Vir-
ginia, it will be acknowledged on all hands,
is most excellent one. 1t is not necessary
that we shall tell our readers who Colonel
Robert E. Withers is. He resided in our
midst for number of years, and estab-
lished reputation both as soldier and q
civilian which the proudest might envy. He
is man without reproach in the ordinary
walks'o of life--a man of; nerve and talent
and possesses unusual executive abilities.
The other candidates upon the ticket are
gentlemen who enjoy State reputation, and
are. worthy the suffrages and confidence of
the people. 1t is the duty of every white
man in the Commonwealth not only to sup
port this ticket while he is voting against
the Constitution, but also to strive with all
his soul and body to secure its triumph to
insure his own protection should any por-
ton of the CONSTITUTION be ratified and
State officers thus come into power.
The question more warmly agitated in
the Convention than any other was whether
a candidate should be nominated who is
ineligible under the reconstruction laws of
Congress. The Convention decided that it
would be indiscreetto run such an one,
however well qualified he might be for the
place, and in this, we think, determined
wisely. ID nUiRe Register. ~ Z. s.i' 7@a4sss I

How THE SENATE sTAsps.--As FoRNEY
is the clerk Of the Senate, it may safely be
assumed that his Chronicle will not set
down anybody as in favor Of scquittal who
is opposed to it. That paper says: 81
" Before recess, the following eight sena-
ators spoke under the fifteen minutes, rule:
Messrs. Stewart, Sherman, Grimes, .Hend-
ricks. Edmunds, Williams, Howe; and Nor
rill ofgMaine.. G4fIs5h - 341L{ta1J
III" After recess Messrs. Doolittle, Garrett
Davis, Henderson, tTrumbull, = and Fessen-
den spoke; and In the evening session
Msssrs- CONFESS, Harlan, Wilson, Morton,
and iBnckalew. &c .o&Uasi t u a9fesf

named, Messrs. Grimes, Fessenden, and
Trumbull ,are understood Ito have opposed

Henderson the first eight, his time expiring

- Messrs. Howe and Sherman supported
the second, third, fourth, eighth, and
eleventh articles. The ether Republicans
are understood to have sustained all the
charges" 1sgr .,4 .1so@.iE Ira9i! 5ac
So that WILSON goes for conviction. He
feels pretty certain, however, that the Presi-
dent will be acquitted twill be seen that
he said nothing until after four Republican
senators had spoken on the other side. He

A Coon JoKE.-HUNNIcUTT. has associ-
ated with the negroes until he has become
as expert in initiating his betters as the
veriest Congo among them. Some of the
Conservatives have heretofore expressed
the opinion that it would be degrading to
their speakers to meet such men as HUNNI-
CUT upon the stump. The question has
been seriously discussed whether it would
consist with q proper regard for decency
for our speakers to divide time even with
the most reputable Of the opposition. Hun
NIcUTT, monkey-like and negro-like, comes
out at this late day and declares that he is
not going to consent to meet upon the stump
every upstart speaker that may be put for
ward by the Conservatives. He swears that
he won't accept an invitation which has
never been extended to him.

An'Exaniiple for, the Supreme Court.

An Example for;the Supreme Court
Radicals, whether in the legislative hall,
or the council chamber, or upon the bench,
or before the people, seem never to lack i'm
pudence or boldness. The Cincinnati pa
pers report a decision made recently by q
Radical judge in that State which shows
that some judges Of that party understand
how much force there. is in an unconstitu-
tional law. The Democratic Legislature OF
Ohio passed, o few weeks ago, an act pro-,
viding that no person having a visible .ad-.
mixture of negro blood in his veins should
be allowed to vote in that State. In charg-
ing the grand jury of Summit county, the
other day, Judge BURKE examined this law,
at length, concluding his charge as follows
cit being clear, then, that this act is in
conflict with the Constitution, and the Su-
preme Court having 50 repeatedly decided
the precise question presented by tins &c.
as to pueitsat rest, following such decisions
Of the Supreme Court, and the: plain, une,
quiyocal Language Of the ConstltaIlon -
hold, and therefore instruct .yoa, tina. tn u

ties, and you will 80 regard and q treat r..
We know nothing as to the merits Of this his
decision. It may be q scorrect one, OF the
reverse. Judging from the fact that it was
made by 8 Radical, we should at once con-
Guide that it was wrong; for the Radicals
seem to be prone to do whatever is base.
But, granting that The Judge regarded the
law as unconstitutional, he did exactly what
twas his duty TODD. In contrast with this
independent action Of an inferior tribunal,
how inexcusable is the conduct Of the
Judges Of the Supreme Courtof the United
States, who suffer unconstitutional laws to
stand uncondemned, although Q number Of
cases have been brought before them de-
manding q decision as to their constitution
