IL 1864, a committee Of Radical Sena-
tors, thirteen of whom are still in that
body, waited upon Mr. Lincoln, then
President, with paper soliciting him to
remove a member of his Cabinet They
gave no name, but broadly stated a rule
that the Cabinet should contain no man
not in accord with the President
When it had been read, Mr. Lincoln
said he approved of it heartily, but he
thought the Senators had made mistake.
He was willing and anxious to consult
their wishes in the matter, but he wanted
to ask them one question-nOt to be an
swered until they had given it due re-
Election. You say" said he, chat !
ought to have Cabinet every member OF
which agrees 'oith me in opinion Is that
exactly what you mean2 Don't you
really mean that ought to have Cabi.
net every member of which agrees 1oih
you in opinion? Isn't that what you re-
ally want" And telling them to SLEEP
on it and come back when they had an
swered it satisfactorily, he dismissed
them until they should see fit to return
But" said he, when relating the story,
''thev never came back.

NEGRO JURORS IN MEMPHIS.

In the Criminal Court at Memphis on
the 9Th inst, the case of the State against
Williams and Morton, two negroes
charged with the murder Of a man Of
their own color, was taken up. Sheriff
Winters had summoned large number
of negro men as jurors, and no objection
was made to them by the Attorney Gene
raj, or Mr. Orville Yerger, the attorney
for the defendants. Henry 5. Lee, Esq,
Radical lawyer, who was not engaged
in tie case on either side, objected to
proceeding any further with the case, on
the ground that negroes had been sum-
moned as Jurors He contended that the
court had no knowledge Of the fact, if
such fact existed, that negroes could
sit as jurors. Mr.. Yerger claimed that
the Legislature had made the negro a
citizen and a legally qualified juror.
Judge Hunter is reported by the Ara-
ldnche as follows on
The objection opens up several impor-
tant questions; he had seen some notice in
the papers of the passage of this act, but
he could nottake judicial knowledge of the
fact he had not seen any certified copy of
this act neither had he seen the same
published in any paper by competent au-
thority. 1t was a question whether the
present Legislature had a right to repeal
fha al WfaanfI a..ffrF, IF The fropoI.r. loyn
and whether such an act would be consti-
tutional he wished the case to be CON
tinued over to Monday next, so that coun-
Sc! and the court might have an opportuni-
~ TO examine the question he did not
think that the consent of counsel could
make incompetent jurors competent; it
certainly would not be contended that
aliens could be competent as jurors by con.
sent Of counsel"
After considerable discussion, a copy
of the act Of the Legislature, as published
in a newspaper was procured and pre-
scented to the court, and this was accepted
as settling the question, and jury of
negro men empanneled and sworn to
try the case. This is the first case of
negro jury under the law, but it will be
seen that Judgo Hunter Radical though
he is, stated very decidedly that it was a
question whether the act under which
they were sworn in is constitutional
Perhaps this case may bring the Supreme
Court of the State to a test upon that
very point.

RADICAL PRECEDENTs

The Radicals threw precedent, even of
their own making, to the dogs. When
they wished to get Mr. Stockton, of New
Jersey, out the United States Senate.
that a Radical might be elected to his
place, they refused to let him vote on his
own case. They, however regard it as
maryellously proper that Mr. Wade
should sit in the Court of impeachment
and vote for the impeachment of Presi~
dent Johnson, that he may get his place.
When, in 1864, they wanted Montgomery
Blair out of the Cabinet they presented
President Lincoln with note, from
which the following is extracted
The President should be aided Jq Cabi-
nef council agreeing nth him IN political
principle and general policy, and all impor-
tant measures and appointments should be
the result Of their combined wisdom and
deliberation. The most obvious and neces-
sary condition Of things, without arktch no
administration can succeed, we and the pub
lieve does not exist, and therefore such Sc
lections and changes in its members should
be made as will secure to the country unity
Of purpose and action in all material and
essential respects, more especially in the
present crisis of public affairs. The Cab
met should be exclusively composed of states
men who are the cordial, resolute, lnuauerino
supporters Of The principles and purposes abore
mentioned.
This paper was signed, among others,
by Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson,
of Massachusetts; Benz. f. Wade and
John Sherman, of Ohio; l. NJ. Morrill,
and ". p Fessenden, of Maine; Henry
B. Anthony, Of Rhode Island Zachariah
Chandler Of Michigan; Lyman Trum,
bull of Illinois; James Harlan and
James ". Grimes, Of Iowa; S C. Pome-
roy, Of Kansas; and I. O. Howe, of Wis
consin. Every one Of these Senators, we
believe, voted to reinstate Stanton in the
War Department, thus kicking to the
dogs their own declarstion that "the
President should be aided by Cabinet
council agreeing with him in political
and general policy" and now,
for doing precisely Whist they advised and
urged Mr.. Lincoln to do, these Senator's
are to Judge the President, and Radical
Governors officers Of the Grand Army of
he Republic, Radical Journals, and Radi-
,al hangers-on generally, are bowling
most furiously that right or wrong, they

gRrded rs u Failure.
Special to the Louisville Courier.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Two impor-
tant facts were developed in the Court OF
Impeachment to-day. First, that Chief
Justice Chase will rule according to law
and Justice, and cannot be used by the i'm
parchment faction. And that the i'm
peachers will doggedly follow their origi.
nal programme to force their trial through
quick, depose the President and secure the
executive power. They will fail, however,
for their indecent haste, together with their
candid but indisoreet avOwal of their de-
sign, have already awakened distrust of the
rejecting men Of the Radical party.
The vote which sustained the Chief Jus
tice in his rulings to-day, in even so small
point, arouses the apprehension of the
conspirators. They writhe over that de-
feat. They were furious at the applause in
the galleries which ensued thereupon. and
they hate the Chief Justice, who calmly
and resolutely asserted the rights and dig
nifty of his high position, and who was so
triumphantly sustained.
They demand the Presidents presence
next Friday, but it is likely he will desire
longer time for preparation, and it will be
granted.
At Cabinet meeting the President said
the war was against the Constitution, not
against him. Ii was the last desperate act
to seize the Executive power and subvert
the government, and he would make his
defense simply as the representative of the
liberties of the people.
The apinion rapidly gains ground that
impeachment will fail 1t is not believed
caucus OF other party appliances can
dragon in the support Of the measure such
men as Fessenden, Trumbull, Anthony,
Sprague, Grimes, Pomeroy, Henderson,
Ross and Sherman
Wade's fitness as Judge is aptly IL
lustrated by an incident the other night,
when, after denouncinp the President, he
declared if he could get him out he would
do it in the shortest time possible.
