FROM WASHINGTON.

Dispatches of the Goth say that Gen. Grant
has prepared the order assigning Gen. Han
cock to the command of the Department of
the Atlantic, and that the latter is daily
expected in Washington.
The Senate has not formally decided to sus-
pend general legislation pending the impeach-
ment trial, but it seems to be tacitly under
stood by the prominent radical members that
very little if any business shall be transacted
for the coming three or four weeke, save
which appertains to impeachment. Some
influential Senators, however, are decidedly
opposed to any such suspension, and will
insist upon devoting one to two hours per day
to general Legislation, and occasionally brief
executive session.
The Supreme Court will probably make a
final disposition of the McArdle case tomor
row. The statement in these dispatches a
few days ago, as to the action of the court in
the consultation room, was correct AS the
law has passed over the Presidents vote, the
court will now decide the case either by dis
missal of the cause or by rendering an opinion
upon the merits.

constitutional liberty to themselves and their
posterity. They have lost that keen relish
for free government that distinguished their
ancestors. As long as they are left free to
nnrs,,e their daily avocations and to reap and
enioy the fruit of their own labor, they really
care but little about the government, or who
manaresit. This is the feeling of the majority,
While. no doubt, there is considerable mi
nority who are ardent lovers of liberty. and
who would suffer and sacrifice much for it.
When Wade comes into the White House
and assumes the reins of government, Demo-
Gratis may expect to feel the full weight of
Radical power. If we cannot overthrow this
tyranny at the ballot box, we see no other
course than to submit These considerations
which we believe the political situation JUS
titles, make the coming contest of more than
usual importance.

Is VIRGINIA A STATE 2

The question whether Virginia is State
in the Union, says the Southern Opinion,
seems to depend for its answer, in the Radi-
cal mind, entirely upon varying circumstances
For instance, Virginia is State in the Union
for Underwood, both as Judge and a Sena-
tor; but she is not State in the Union for
anybody else, brought before Underwood on
Aa6eos corpus, and seeking relief from mill
tary Imprisonment That Underwood's docu-
ments may go free, Virginia is in the Union !;
but that citizen of the State may not go
free, she is very much out of the Union.
Yet the Supreme Court has plainly re-
sponded to the query in the affirmative, and
it should not be any longer mooted question.
In very recent decision, following up for
mer ones of the same tenor, that high body
SAYS that the 'efforts to draw off eleven States
from their allegiance to this Government, and
the setting up of the so-called Confederate
States Government were illegal, the States
being still conStitutionaUy an tie Union"
In like manner Congress, during The ,cholc
,car, recognized Virginia as State in the
Union, by allowing certain men to represent
her as Senators and it was not until the war
was over that this representation (such as it
was) was put an end to. 1t is certainly diff
cult to explain how Virginia was State in
the Union during the existence of condition
of war, and yet ceased to be such on the es-
adjustment of peace. Judge Fisher, of
Washington, however, like Underwood finds
no difficulty in suiting the status of Virginia
to the occasion, and he, in contempt Of the
Supreme Court, has decided that she is not
State in the Union. As to the fact, Fisher
is right; but it was his province to declare
the law. TWAS his duty to uphold Virginias
right, and not to recognize the actual con-
dition put upon her through fragrant wrong.
Another strange circumstance in this mat
ter is that fragment Of Virginia, composed
of certain seeding counties, has been ac-
knowlcdged by the Government as State in
the Union, has its senators and representa-
tives in Congress, and is accredited in every
way as an equal among the other States,
while Virginia herself is treated as an unor-
ganized territory; Congress thereby revers-
ing one of the plainest demonstrations of
Euclid, and proving that a part is greater
than tie rhole, No wonder, after this, that
that ingenious body essays to show that
black is white, or, at least, that negro is the
equal of the white man.

WADE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette, writing on the 26 instant,
says: A question of some magnitude, and
one of especial interest to the Hon. Ben.
Wade, President, pro tenn. in the Senate, Is
now being privately discussed among the
Radical Congressman of the anti-Wa de stripe.
The sixth section of the second Article OF
the Constitution says that Congress may by
law provide for the case of the removal by
cath, resignation or inability. &c, both OF
the President and Vice President, declaring
what officer shall then act as President, &c.
4 question is now raised by those opposed to
Mr. Wade, whether the President pro tenn.
of the Senate is such an officer us is contem-
plated by the Constitution. They contend
that the officer must be an officer of the Uni
ted States, and not an officer merely of the
Senate or House.
This same question was raised in the win
ter of 1913, and was debated during the en-
tire session without decision. The same
discussion was continued in 1894, when Mr..
Madison, then a member of the House of
Representatives, spoke and voted against the
proposition that an officer of either House
of Congress was eligible to the Presidency
under the clause of the Constitution quoted
above The bill as from the Senate passed
the House by only one majority, Mr. Madi-
son voting against it.
The hostility to Mr.. Wade in the Radical
camp is very great, and no stone will be left
unturned to prevent his reaching the Presi-
dental chair. 1t is fact that eminent
counsel have been consulted. Hon. Rever-
dy johnson has given the opinion that the
President pro tenn, of the Senate is such an
officer as is contemplated by the Constitution,
and in this opinion Judge Woodward fully
concurs.
The question is undergoing a lively inres-
tigation by the parties in interest, with the
advantage of the law as it now stands in
Wade's favor

RGrThe National hteNiyencer thinks that
"NIacauly is responsible for the whole of the
tomfoolery in the Capitol at Washington,
about the impeachment. Members have been
reading his account of the trial of Warren
Hastings, and imagining that they can figure
like Burke, Sheridan, and the rest of the glo-
rious group, in that celebrated case" The

Negro Suffrage at the South.

A correspondents of the Chicago RepuJH-
can, writing from New Orleans, after putting
several things together, is not as favoraby
impressed with the situation as he might de-
sire After stating why the negroes are dis
inclined to labor-bad crops and no pay athe
writer says:
"The facts, together with negro suffrage,
is fast widening the gulf of discord into sea
of troubles, political and industrial. think
that if Congress had limited representation
to actual rotcrs in the South, allowing each
State to give the ballot to the blacks, gradu-
ally, when educated and thus increase their
representation in Congress at their own op-
ton that we should have had no trouble with
reconstruction. 1t is folly to attempt to force
negro rHIe upon the South,
at can only be done by military power
What Ohio, New York and Illinois will not
accept themselves, they should not impose
upon Southern States. The pill is too big
and too black to be taken down en- maSSe.-
1t should have been subdivided."
And even if the blacks of Ohio, New York
and Illinois were admitted to the polls, that
would not justify bestowing suffrage on the
newly emancipated from slavery for the ne
groes of the Northern States are, as a class,
far more intelligent than are those of the
Southern States. Well may the writer to the
Republican say that the indisposition of the
blacks to labor and negro suffrage are "fast
widening the gulf of dscord into a sea of
troubles, political and industrial"

Another Scene.

In the Virginia "Reconstruction" Conven-
ton, on Monday, Bayne arose to privileged
question. Words had been spoken upon dc
floor on de 18th of de month, which villifed
him. and he wanted the member from Peters
burg to be brought before the House and
made to account for his conduct. He had
waited patiently for an explanation from de
gentleman, but it hadn't come"
Platte stated that he had no explanation
to make. He was prepared to do as he had
done again if attacked as he had been by the
member from Norfolk in so miserable and low
lived manner.
The chair decided that it was now too late
to call the gentleman from Petersburg to ac>
count. The words should have been taken
down at the time uttered.
Bayne appealed from the decision of the
Chair, and spoke upon mis- appeal repeating
the remarks previously made about his having
waited for proper explanation.
Platte repeated that he would do the same
thing under the same circumstance He
considered the remarks made by the member
from Norfolk towards him as just provoca-
ton for him to reply as he did. He believed
then, and he believed now, that Baynes re-
marks were made in malice. lie said then,
and he would say now under the same Cir
cumstances, that he was an impudent scoun-
drel and he was prepared to account for the
remark in any way.
Lewis Lindsey: "Mistar President
dis House will qualify de remark of scoun-
drels and recognize us as SIGH, I'm prepared
too"
Norton;;spoke in favor of hauling Mr.. Platte
up. He had made remark personally in
sulting to one of that race with which he has
identified himself. They were all in the same
boat together, and they would demand to be
treated politically and socially equal.
Morrissey arose to spake upon this question
He thought the parrelminteary rules had
bin vierlated, and the gintleman ought to be
hauled up. He could git justice before the
House.
Platte said that if the gentleman wished to
take the matter up, he could get what he
wanted.
Morrissey: 81 was spakin' to parrelmin-
teary question, and whin [ have completed
my remarks oopon that soobject, will turn
my attintion to the gintleman."
Finally the appeal taken by Bayne was de.
cded against him. Bayne said that the Con-
vention had decided against him, "and was
therefore clar of de subject. He had just
received notice to go to a meetin' outside,
and he and de gentleman from Petersburg
could regulate de matter elsewhere. ct is
romored that Bayne threatens to prove Platte
a scoundrel at the next Radical meeting)-
