NFoR6 JURORs

TIE Chattanooga Union Of the 18th
inst says
In the Law Court yesterday, Judge
Adams presiding, a number of negro jurors
were summoned to try whatever might he
brought before them. Judge Adams, how
ever, stated that they could not be allowed
to take their seats, as he had not the act of
the Legislature repeating the franchise law
before him, and wss not prepared to cay
whether colored men we're entitled 10 sit on
jury or not. He therefore reserved his
decision on the matter till the court meets
this morning
The case was not alluded to by Judge
Adams on the Goth, and the linton sig
nifcantly remarks that it does not know
when il win be This is rather a clever
dodge Of Judge Adams to avoid a de-
cision on the point whether the famous
sixteenth section of the franchise law Is
still in force.

NOTED CONVERT TO CATHOLICISM

The London Register of the 25th OF
January made this announcement
1--WE have reason to believe that before
many days are over a conversion to the
Catholic church will be announced that
will cause more talk than even the
reception Of DR.. Manning, or Dr.
Newman, or Mr.. Oakeley, did twenty
years ago. If what we have heard is true
the conversion to which we allade is more
than likely to be followed by many persons
who for long time have been anxious, but
afraid, 10 pass the Rubicon"
The Cork Qreland) Examiner of the
lst of February says there seemed to be
a geneal impression that the individual
referred to is DR. Wilberforce, the Bishop
of Oxford, whose sympathies with ritual
ism are well known, and adds: eve un-
derstand that private letter has been
received in this city, stating distinctly
that DR. Wherefore has entered the
Catholic Church, and that the fact is to
be announced in London to>day. Lon
don papers of as late as the 9th inst have
been received in New York, and no men.
ton is made in them of the conversion to
the Catholic faith of the Bishop of Oxford,
but the names of the Bishop Of Salisbury
and DR.. Pusey are referred to as the dis,
tinguished person, or persons, whose go-
ing over to the Romish Church was to
make sensation in the religious world.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE To BE EsTAB.


Senator Wilson's declaration that
God could not afford to have the Con-
gressional plan defeated, reads strangely
in the light Of the recent vote Of the
people Of Alabama Ii is estimated that
less than two thousand white men voted
for the constitution which the Recon-
struction Convention had framed for that
State. Commenting on this fact, the
New York Commercial Advertiser, Re-
publican journal says There were ten
times that number of loyal men in Ala
bama during the rebellion, and they re-
main there. But they are opposed to
political negro equality-or, in other
words, opposed while the negroes are ig-
norant, to negro Judges, negro members
of Congress, negro Governors, etc, etc,
and hence voted against the constitution.
And now Congress is to adopt eenstitu>
ton which the white electors of Alabama
repudiate, and which did not receive me-
gro votes enough, under its own recon-
structon act, to make it valid constitu-
tom" 1t was proposed by Radicals in
Congress to admit Alabama, notwith-
standing the refusal Of the people of that
State to ratify the constitution framed
under authority of the reconstruction
acts, but that step was abandoned for
one of greater tyranny and usurpation if
possible Gen. Meade was assigned the
duty of finding pretexts for reopening the
polls in several counties wherein NUM-
Der of negro votes could be polled SUI
fcient to ratify the constitution. And
forthwith Gen. Meade set himself to work
to carry out the orders of his masters at
Washington We thus see that it is the
purpose of the Radicals to establish negro
suffrage and negro supremacy in the
Southern States by force and fraud.
With Congress and the army to back
them, they will be able to triumph over
the white people, and they are un-
scrupulous enough to impose this deg
radarionupon people heightened, chival-
ric, and every way their equals. This
is the banquet to which the Radicals in
vite the white people of the South, after
having waged war in the field for four
years to preserve the life of the nation.
And there are a few white men in the
South 80 forgetful of the rights Of theil
neighbors, the men with whom they pro-
pose to live as neighbors in the future, al
to aid the Radicals in this unholy cru
sade against liberty and republican gov,

SPEAKER CoLyAx ANDSRNAroR WADE were
very warmly greeted at the Capitol 70. day, and
they were flooded with inquiries in regard to
the campaign in the West. Mr.. ColYax, who
is as brown as a nut after his Re ky Mountain
trip, and somewhat hoarse from his campaign
speaking in Indiana, stated that he had dis.
patch announcing Baker's election by at least
one thousand majority, and he expressed
his belief that the State would go Republican
in November by not less than 10,oOl majority
In consequence of the importation of no. less
than 5000 voters from Kentucky by tho Demo-
Gratis, and the naturalization of some 10000
more by the same party in the State, the Re-
publican prospects loe ked so doubtful that he
had been induced TO take the stump in Indiana,
Contrary to his first intention
A pleasant conversation took place between
Representative Beck (Dem.) OF Kentucky and
Mr.. Coifax, when the latter left the chair
Said Mr.. Colfax, 81 hear you are about chang
