Jas. C. Southall's Speech.

We expressed in our last weeks issue our
commentator of the speech made in the Con
vention on the question of negro suffrage by
Mr.. Jas. G. Southall, the representative from
the District composed of the counties of Au-
gusta, Albemarle and Louisa. We publish the
speech in full on our first page this week, and
hope that mons Of our readers will fail to read
it. We are sure that they viii concur in the
opinion that it is an admirable speech. 1t is
carefully prepared and finely finished pro-
duction. Read it and then think of what We
would have gained by having Fred. S. Turkey
for our representative q in the place of Mr..
Southall Such comparisons are, indeed, odious.
1t is not complimentary to Southall to say that
he is to Turkey as Hyperion to Satyr, and, In
such comparison, we do not detract from Tu-
keys just merits. The former has risen to a
commanding height, the latter has sunk to the
plummet's lowest depth.
While we admire Mr.. Southall's speech for
its eloquence and beauty, and its able argu-
gument in opposition to negro suffrage, we dc
not endorse all the sentiments expressed in it.
Our kindness to the negroes prevents us from
rejoicing at their emancipation, for we think
that emancipation, effected as it was, is the
greatest curse which ever befell their race.

Highland County.

Having larger circulation in the county Of
Highland than any other paper, we have had
unusually good opportunities to know the lib
erty-loving sentiments of the patriotic citizens
of that noble little county, which is set like a
precious jewel in the casket Of her beautiful
and romantic mountains, and have, on several
occasions, spoken in high terms Of commenda-
ton of them. When so many Of the citizens Of
this State were in doubt-halting between two
opinions-and did not know whether to vote for
or against the Contention, one of the principal
prescribed duties of which was to engraft negro
suffrage on the Constitution of Virginia, We
looked with hope and undsubting confidence to
gallant, hberty-loving, little Highland, and ex-
pressed the confident opinion that her citizens
would vote against the Convention. The time
came, the test was applied, and little Highland,
as we expected and predicted, did her duty no.
bly,. We confess that we feel proud of High
land and her sister county Bath, and only re-
greet that these mountain counties have not a
greater number of votes to cast. We wish
they could cast hundred thousand each. We
have recently learned from an intelligent citi-
zen of Highland that, at this time, there are
not more than three white Radicals in that
county. IF this be true, it is doubtless the BAN
ner county of liberty loving conservatism.

then administered the following oath TO the
! Chief Justice: II do solemnly swear that in
all things appertaining to the trial of the i'm
parchment of Andrew johnson, President of
the United States, now pending, will do i'm
partial justice, according to the Constitution
and the laws. So help me God" The oath
was then administered to the Senators in sue
cession, the same oath being taken by all, until
Mr. Wade's name was called. Mr.. Hendricks
then rose and submitted the question to the
Senate whether, in view of the position of Mr..
Wade as the successor to the Office ofPresident
in case of his.removal, he was competent to take
the oath as Senator to preside over this trial.
A long and warm discussion arose on this point,
in which a number of speeches were made by
different Senator'S Without taking any final
action in the matter, the Court adjourned, and
Mr. Wade resumed the chair and called the
Senate to order. Without transacting any bust
ness, the Senate soon after adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE. A bill pro-
viding that in case of the removal of the Chief
Justice Of the United States from Office, or by
his death or resignation, he shall be succeeded
by the Associate Justice holding the oldest com
mission, was introduced and referred to the
Judiciary Committee, with leave to report at
any time.

Disfranchisement with a Vengeance.

The Mongrel Convention by vote Of 81 to
IS adopted clause DISTINGUISHING all officers
above the rank Of first Lieutenant 1t reads is
follows:
''Every person who acted as commissioned
officer above the rank of first lieutenant in the
army or master in the navy in any military or
naval organization opposed to the United States
during the late war;
This is going further than the act of Congress
from which the convention derives its powers.
AS the Disextch says, it may be waste of time
to refer any Radical to constitutional or legal
prohibitions, yet we will take the trouble to call
the attention of the Convention to the follow
ing clause of the act from which they derive all
the powers they have:
"And when such Constitution shall provide
that the elective franchise shall be enjoyed by
all such persons as have the qualifications here
in stated for electors of delegates"
Here it is clearly provided and declared in
terms that the Convention shall not disfranchise
any man not disqualified for holding Office by
the proposed constitutional amendment.
Are there men Of sense enough in the Con-
vention to understand this plain provision of
the law? We doubt it.

TRIAL OF MIR. DAVIS. the last calling Of
the case of the United States against Jefferson
Davis, in the Federal court in Richmond Qast
November) the trial was postponed at the in
stance Of the Government, to Thursday, the
Goth inst, in order, as was stated, to afford the
Chief Justice of the United States an apportu-
nifty to be present and conduct the trial.
AS the Chief Justice is now presiding in the
High Court of Impeachment in which the
President of the United States is arraigned for
''high crimes and misdemeanors," he cannot
try the Ex-President of the Confederate States
The probability is that Mr.. Davis will never be
tried

Jndga CHASE Dissents.

On Wednesday last, Chief Justice Chase
sent to the Senate letter in which he entered
''his respectful dissent from the action which
that body has already taken in the Impeach-
ment business Judge Chase insists that "the
organization of the Senate as Court Of Inn
peachment, under the Constitution, should pre-
cede the actual announcement Of the Impeach-
ment on the part of the House." He also
makes the points "that articles of Impeach-
ment should only be presented to Court OF
Impeachment, and that ''rules for the gov
eminent of the proceedings of such Court
should be formed only by the Court itself. =
As the Senate has received 'the actual an
nouncement of the Impeachment on the part
of the House," has permitted the articles of
Impeachment to be presented to it before Or
ganizing as "a Court of Impeachment, and
has, while in session as the Senate, made rules
for the government of the proceedings of a
Court of Impeachment, it has acted in all
these matters, according to the opinion OF the
Judge who is to preside at the impeachment of
the President, in an irregular and illegal way.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette
says that ''the communication Of Chief Justice
Chase to the Senate is in admirable tone; but
Senator Howard, and others, pronounce it a
piece of intermeddling efrontery. The Radi-
Gals are particularly annoyed, and profess to
think there is not much in it. But Mr.. Chase s
friends say this communication is but the sof-
tened tones of distant thunder which beto-
kens storm. The Chief Justice has head
of his own, and those who know him anticipate
trouble. The rebuke he so delicately admins
tiers to Wade is perfect gem. Wade has
voted on all the preliminary questions, inclu-
ding the rules for the trial. and the Chief JUS
tice says it was thought prudent and BETTING
that the next in succession should not preside,
much less vote, in proceeding through which
a vacancy might be created. 1t is understood
however, that Wade will insist on his right to
vote, and will place bis indicate action on the
novel ground that his vote may become neces-
sary to convict, or, in palmer words, he may
fail to get into the Presidential Chair unless he
votes himself into it. Whether he will be al
lowed the privilege Of this luxury remains to
be SEEM

The New Hampshire Election.

To-day, the State election takes place in New
Hampshire. Both parties are making great eff
forts to succeed. The Radicals have expended
100000 in the canvass. The Municipal cleo
tons in New York and Maine, last week, show
that the re- action against the Radicals is gain
ing strength, and would seem to indicate that
the Democrats will, to-day, carry New Hamp-
shire. We haye but little doubt of it, if the
Radicals do not perpetrate gross frauds. We
hope and believe that victory will, to-day, perch
upon the Democratic banner in New Hamp-
shire.

Impeachment.

The Radicals will find that they have made
wefu. mistake in their impeachment OF the
President. The New York Herald, In our
opinion, expresses the proper view when 1t
saws as it does in Its issue of the End inst,
that if impeachment is necessary to assert the
majesty of the law and to guard the threatened
liberties of the people from the encroachments
of ambitious power in the person of the Presi-
dent, Congress deserves well OF the nation Ior
;mpeaching him; but if it be not necessary, II
che law is not in danger, if there is neither the
fact of crime nor q criminal intent, and II this
great fnsl appeal is made only in the interest
of partisan quarrel, then to have made 1t ana
to have apitated the nation and stirred up dan
xesg of every sort against our tranquility is such
8 wrong that the law has hardly put in the
hands of the people a punishment adequate to
the offence; for an abuse of the power Of I'M
parchment is as great crime as any that i'm
peachment was intended to punish or prevent.
Is Congress abusing this power? Isit bring
ing great constitutional process into contempt
by appealing to it where there is no causeI LIS
it unnecessarily disturbing the public peace?-
Is it striking OF the President for doing things
for which the law gives him full power? Con-
gress admits and publishes to the world that 1t
is doing ell this. It reiterates in every form OF
phrase and with all particulars the declaration
of its own offence. Every line of its ten articles
makes boast of its guilt before the nation
Its ten articles of impeachment make nothing
so clear as that impeachment has not sound
foot to stand upon-that it is only the insane
dream of men who. in indulging an intense par
ty passion, have driven away from them the
guides of reason and judgment; Of men who,
having acquired the arrogant habit in Congress
of forcing their will on feeble majority, have
forgotten that there is no previous question to
cut off debate before the people, and who there
fore are now in fair way to find out that there
is after all difference between an extravaganza
ly one sided view Of the law and the law ITSELF
1t matters not what happens in the Senate, for
the case is before the people, and they will
judge it on the dsproportion between the of
fences charged and the remedy sought-on the
utter want of wisdom, moderate counsel and
patriotic purpose Of the republican party. If
impeachment go through the Senate, it will
destroy the republican party before the coun-
try; for the American people will not be
dragged at the heels of an organization gov
erBed by the failing intellect and vindictive
spirit of Old Thad Stevens. IF impeachment
fail in the Senate, it will only add to the decis
ion of the people against the representatives
the weight of the Senatorial judgment to the
same effect.
