How SOLDIERS WILL VoTE AND
HY.-The fac; that the soldiers in
1864, gave 121, ,041 votes for Abraham
Lincoln, and $4,000 for Mcclellan,
may give some idea Of how the same
soldiers will be likely to vote this
year.-.State Guard.
The soldiers know very well how
the election in the army was con
Quoted. Not only were Democrats
intimidated and prevented from vot-
ing, but the returns were tampered
with. The soldiers are ut home now,
and will vote as they shot-for the
Union and not to keep it divided;
for the supremacy of their own race,
and not to give the control Of ten
States to barbarian negroes; for equal
taxation, and not to keep up mo-
nopoly of bond-holders; for one cur
rency, for rich and poor, for the pen
sioner and the bond-holder, the
capitalist and the working man; for
an economical administration of the
Government, and not to keep in
power a set of public plunderers; for
reduction Of taxation, and the Tighten
ing of the burdens that oppress the
people; for reduction Of the ex-
penses of the Government, and for
the application of every available
dollar to the payment of the public
debt; for speedy return of substan-
tial peace, and not to keep up cost
ly military despotism in one-half of
the country-for these, and for other
good reasons, the soldiers will vote
for that true and tried statesman
Seymour, and not for the dumb, no
policy tool of the radicals.

In the notice of the grand Demo
cratic meeting in Anderson, on the

"Cnlonel Hill, United States Mar
shal," formed the procession. This
is mistake. Mr.. Hill was "Marshal
Of the Day." but is not exactly re-
constructed as yet.

spirit OF the Southern People.

An unprincipled and conscience
less class of extreme radical journals
in this country, seem TO, have entered
upon q regular system of misrepre-
senting the state of public sentiment
in the South, and the actual condi-
tion of affairs here. The purpose is
to divert the public mind in the
North from the great national griev-
ances which the whole country is
suffering from radical domination,
and which it is only hoped to per-
petuate by appeals to sectional pas
sions and pride, in such way as to
make it forget all other things in the
blind fury of hatred and revenge.
For this purpose every indiscreet or
Incorporate remark made by q South
ern speaker or newspaper, here and
there, under the most intense provo
cation, is wrung from its context and
surroundings, and circulated and
commented on far and wide as an
illustration of the truculent and dis
loyal spirit Of the. Southern people.
With the same false and wicked in
tent, murders which occur in the
Southern States, but which are no
more numerous here than in any
other section, are paraded as evil
dences of the lawless and insecure
state of Southern society, and are
often referred to- Ku Klux organize
tions, so as to give them as far as
possible a political character. With
out denying that there are extreme
men in the South, as in the North,
that there are as wicked men in one
section as in the other, and as foolish
ones also, nothing is more evident to
every intelligent and candid observer
of Southern affairs at the present
time, than that the predominant and
almost universal aspiration Of the
Southern pennle, is for peace and
order. The Baltimore Sun truth
fully asserts, that every mans reason
will tell him that it is natural this
should be SO, if for no other reason,
because the impoverished, PROSTATE
and almost ruined South is thorough
ly aware that nothing but peace can
staunch the deep wounds from which
;s Is well nigh bleeding TO death.
We see from the general tone of the
Southern press, from the fervent in
vocations and honest efforts of the
Confederate Generals who lately met
in Nashville and Memphis, from the
proceedings, resolutions and spirit OF
the conservative political meetings
held in the South, from the haste
which is made by speakers or writer's
who have been provoked into harsh
utterances to retract them speedily,
that the desire for peace is prevailing
and profound. sH .Sf

THE BUTLER ZoUAvEs AND SEY-
MoUR AND BLAIR.-A negro employed
at one of our city livery stables, is
Captain or Lieutenant of one of the
companies of the Butler Zouaves,
(the negro soldiers battalion, which
accompanied the remains of Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens to his late rl 81.
denee in Pennsylvania was over
heard yesterday detailing to sable
hued friend his experience" on the
trip. After censuring in unqualified
terms the action of the radical mana
gers of the pageant in driving his
fellow-soldiers back to Washington,
because it was found their presence
was distasteful to the white men of
Pennsylvania the negro spoke in
words to the following effect: "Why,
you niggers tink Mister Grant going
to be 'lected! Laws chile, I amt
seen no Grant flag since we left dis
cityl Why, eberybody hurrahing
for Seymour and Blair ebery place
we went. No, indeed, niggers,
Grant amt going to be 'lected, shop'
The above incident, which we clip
from the National bateligencer, of
Wednesday, illustrates one of the
most hopeful symptoms of the can
vass. The thrill of assured victory
is felt in the enthusiasm everywhere
exhibited on the side of the Demo
cracy.

THE CASE OF MR.. WALKER AS Cor
oNER.-This case was up for further
hearing, yesterday morning, at 10
o'clock. A rule had been served
upon Mr.. Walker, to show cause why
he should not be attached for con-
tempt in not obeying the judgment
OF the court and turning over the
books and papers of his Office to his
successor, Mr.. ". b. Johnston.
Mr.. Walker appeared by his coun-
sci, Messrs. F. w. Tickling and J. D.
Pope, and, for cause, showed that he
had, within the rules of the court,
served notice of appeal with the
grounds, and that this worked q
supersedeas to the order of the
court, which was not an administra-
tive order, but q judgment upon the
merits, and that an appeal was al
lowed him by the Act of Assembly.
After the argument, the court said it
would take time to consider.
The questions raised are quite difs.
cult to meet. The So called Consti-
tuition provides that the cases ut law
must be taken up by writ of error,
and the so-called Legislature had
provided no form of writ or rule of
procedure. These difficulties were
presented, and the Judge finally
directed that the old practice of the
State should be preserved, supposing
q writ of error to have issuek. The
counsel then went on to show that q
writ of error under the English prac-
tice was supersedeas, and, rs there
was no rule of practice now pre-
scribed, the English rule must pre-
vail. The only Act passed by the
So called Legislature says that writ
of error lodged within five days
should operate as supersedeas.
The learned counsel pointed out the
difference between m,andamuS and
quo aoarranto, and the rules of prac-
tice applicable thereto. The argu-
ment, though learned, was, on these
points, only interesting to gentlemen
of the Bar. 1t showed, however, the
utter chaos in which we now live.
Let the so-called Legislature try
again.

THE sIrUATIONM TENNESSEE

The New York Journal Of Commerce
seems to thoroughly comprehend the stu
alton in Tennessee. In a recent issue
that paper said
"Day by day, steadily, the Radical policy
in Tennessee has been losing friends. The
registration frauds have been, if possible,
more shameful than in any other Southern
State. The judiciary is said TO be notori-
ously the tools of the Governor. The
whole State government is charged with
being a machine run for the advantage of
the Radical party, without the slightest re-
ference to the interests or the wishes Of the
people. Conservatism is reported to be
gaining adherents from the ranks of dis
gusted Radicals. Brownlow,
when he was a candidate last year, came 20
New York TO beg or borrow muskets to put
down "a rebellion" in his State. We be
lieve that he got some muskeis, or the
money to buy them with, but nothing more
was heard of the rebellion" 1t sntsided
as quietly as IL il had never had an exist
ence outside Of Brownlow's brain. Now
that another election approaches, II is but
natural to hear that another rebellion
threatens, and troops are wanted 10 sup
press il. That the interference of the gov
eminent should be called for, upon the re-
presentations Of Brownlow, at time when
all the signs are of profound peace, may
be interpreted, not unfairly, as a proof OF
that mans growing unpopularity, Of his
fears of defeat at the next election, and Of
the virtual failure of Radical policy either
TO drive over or win over the great mass Of
the intelligent white people of Tennessee"

FUNCTIONS OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial of the Goth inst,
writes as follows:
"There is a report tonight, which comes
from a respectable source, that Judge Chase,
upon reflection, and full examination of
the Constitution and the discussions upon
its formation and adoption, has concluded
that his functions AZ presiding officer ofthe
Senate when trying the President on i'm
parchment, are in the nature of those OF
Judge presiding upon the bench, and that,
therefore, il is his province 20 decide all
legal questions thatmay be raised by either
the prosecutors or the accused in the pro-
gress ofthe trial; and it is further stated
that this matter has been considered aud
discussed informally by the Supreme
Court Judges, who coincide with the
Chief Justice in the views above set forth"
The Commercial says editorially;
AN important fact in relation to the
matter, is that a majority OF the Senate
entertain an entirely different opinion as
to the functions of the constitutional
President of the Court of Impeachment;
and, if these reports are well founded,
some complications may be looked for in
the progress of the trial
The Washington correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier is equally emphatic in
denying that Mr. Chase has arrived at
any such conclusion He says in his
letter Of the 27th instant:
"The statement that the Chief Justice has
consulted with the Judges Of the Supreme
Court and thereupon determined to claim
from the Court Of Impeachment the right
90 decide legal points is not true. He has
arrived nj no such determination up 20 this
moment, although he holds as a matter Of
opinion that his position is properly
charged with that duty, but il can only be
done now by amending the rules
The Commercial which is regarded as
a Chase organ, treats its correspondents
statement as rejecting the true position
of the Chief Justice

the pREsIDDxrs WITNESSES.

The laws of the United States require
the President to appoint counsel of ads
visers and assistants in the discharge Of
the multiform and responsible duties per-
tanning to the execution of the laws, and
the defense, protection and preservation
of the Constitution. 1t was the intent of
the law, and has been the uniform prac-
tice for Presidents to summon this body
of advisers 10 aid and counsel in the de-
cision of important acts of administra-
ton This President johnson did in re-
gard TO the tenure Of Office act
The New York World says:
The most important witnesses Of the Pre-
sident will be the members of his own
Cabinet, including Stanton himself And
the most important point in their testimo-
ny will be that they ali advised the Presi
dent that the tenure of Office act, (even sup
posing it constitutional, does not restrain
him from removing those heads of depart
ments whom he did not himself appoint.
The gist of the whole accusation, the very
head'and front Of his offending, is the re-
moval Of Stanton and this same Stanton
and every other member of the Cabinet can
be brought before the Senate, and compelled
to testify on oath that they put that con-
struction upon the law in pursuance OF
which the President has acted. The
strength and performance of this evidence
do net lie in the fact that this was their
opinion, but in the fact that the Constitu-
ton and laws make their opinions proper
ground for the Presidents action. Their
advice protects him whether it was right or
wrong unless the managers of impeach-
ment can prove a conspiracy to violate the
laws, to which all the members Of the Cabi-
net were parties; which would be most
singular commentary on the wisdom of
forcing upon the President such a set Of
advisers.

Louisiana Affairs.

New ORLEANS, March 28.-The Demo
cratic Central Committee having consid-
cred the impending election on the pro-
posed new constitution, and for officers
there under, submit that all citizens sym
pathizing with the Democratic party, who
established and registered to do so, to vote
against the adopted constitution, and
recommend that the present incumbents
for all State, congressional, judicial and
municipal offices, as far as they are known
to be in harmony with the special purpose
of defeating the constitution, be placed in
nomination and voted for as candidates for
their respective offices.
The papers publish letter from Gen.
Hancock to Gov. Pease, arguing the eff
cheney of the civil law and rights of the
people. This letter is in answer to Gov
ernor Pease's letter concerning Gen. Han
cocks refusal to order a military commits
sion for the trial of citizens in Texas. The
letter covers two columns of closely print
ed type. The letter is commented upon
favorably by the city press.

cept representation in Congress. The
State should first be built up by in6i.idual
and personal rights secured. the damage
wrought by the rebellion repaired. and
stability and security made certain. and
representation should follow and grow ont
Of that security.
Mr.. Stevens, of Pa, rose at the Clerks
desk and spoke at some length. He held
now, as he did all the time, the admission
of West Virginia, that having conquered
the territory from another power, We had
the right to treat it as such, and take il in
or keep il out, as We pleased.
He continued The only question here
although this State has not lived up to
the enabling act, is, are we prepared to
admi. her people as fit to associate with
freemen, few of whom sympathized with
Rebels, and are now unwilling to let them
into the Union? Laughter. What is
the Constitution, if every man of twenty
one years of age is not entitled to vote-even
if he has periured himself and attempted
to break down this glorious Union-who
will live and abide by his contract, and
not again attempt to destroy us?
II we admit this terrible leaven should
not hesitate to say there are no forms, no
omission that would keep us from admit
ting them into the Union at once. con-
fess that | have my doubts | am for it,
but xhether, after we shall have admitted
them into the Union and after to-morrow's
sun shall have set upon them, they will not
be ready TO call new conventions and re-
establish slavery in some shape or form.
We know very we'll the ingenuity Of these
men. We abolish slavery except for crime,
but | have been informed of twenty cases
in which men have been held in bondage,
and are now serving in it. One case is in
Florida, where our Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau informed me he had
seen six of them sold for twenty years
How do they do it? They pass law that
any man guilty of assault and battery, shall
be sold into slavery for twenty years. 1t
is a law there now if they go into the
streets, and if white man jostles black
one, or black man jostles a white, he is
taken right TO the Courthouse, convicted
of assault and battery, and is sold for
twenty years into slavery. There are hun
dreds this day in the Southern States who
are serving as slaves in Just such contri-
they have introduced a system of peonage
even worse than in Mexico and the South
eTn provinces; and yet what shall we do :?
We must try to shac&le them in some way,
that while we are admitting these white
men, we are securing the poor black man
from imposition; hence it is that | have
moved TO strike out all after the first sec
ton and insert in its place what | think
will be a complete shackle. But the pro-
position of the gentleman from Ohio, Mr..
Bingham to strike out the third section,
is all must say in reference to slavery.
Having offered my production to try to
protect, if possible, freedmen against the
wles of the most wicked institution that
ever affected man, or that ever could ex-
list through the invention of human inge-
nuity, | will vote for no constitution which
does not give universal and impartial sul-
frape
