fuence managed the negroes as they chose.
Later in the evening, the same managers re-
paired to HunDicutt Hal, and there, by order
Of Brockmeycr, the same proceedings were gone
through, with the exception that here they en-
countered opposition from an unexpected quar-
ter. John Oliver, who wants his children to
90 to the same schools with white children,
made protest on the ground that Hunnicutt
had advocated separate school, houses for whites
and blacks But his objections did not avail
to turn aside the predetermined purpose Of its
gcttersup.
Hunnicutt was present at each meeting, and
cheering loudly with the multitude
On Wednesday night the hall over the New
Nation was denseIy packed, and the same res
olutions endorsing Hunnicutt again passed.
Here again, too, John Oliver took the stand
against him; but his voice was drowned in the
acclamations which the resolutions wruug from

:'Disrespectful! - and ''Scanda1OuS! -
In the House of Representatives on Monday
last, on motion of Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois,
the rules were suspended and a resolution
adopted, to wit: 'That the resolution Of the
New Jersey Legislature, purportiug to with
draw the assent of said State to the constitu-
tiona amendment known as the fourteenth
article, be returned by the Speaker of the
House to the gentleman who presented it, for
the reason that the same is disrespecttul to this
House and scandalous in character, and that
its title only shall be referred to in the journal
and in the Congressional Globe We have
this resolution before US. 1t embraces among
the reasons for the withdrawal by the New
Jersey Legislature of said ratification general
and remorseless overhauling of this and the
Thirty ninth Congress, and declares that in the
exclusion of eleven States, IN order to secure
the passage Of this amendment; that in the
mutilation of the Senate by ruling out a demo
cratic member from New jersey Mr.. Stock
toni, &C.; that in the subsequent usurpatocns
of these once national assemblies in passing
pretended laws for the establishment in ten
States of martial law, which is nothing but the
will of the military commander, for the pur,
pose of reducing to slavery men of their own
race in those States;" that in practically depos-
ing the President from his office of Commander
in-Chief andsuppressing one of the great depart
ments of the government; that in the attempt
to withdraw from the supreme judicial tribunal
of the nation the jurisdiction to examine and
decide upon the constitutionalty OF their pre-
tended laws and that in the attempt to
conceal from the people the immense altera-
tions of the fundamental law they intend to &C
comnIish nv the said amendments" &C. &c.
the same general purpose of destroying the
liberties of the people and the rights OF the
States is apparent and that accordingly the
present Legislature OF New Jersey (democratic),
claiming the right rescinds the resolution pass
ed by the FAST preceding Legislature (Radical)
ratifying said constitutional amendment.
No wonder that, the House of Representa-
tives should return this resolution to the New
Jersey member (Mr. Haight), presenting it as
"disrespectlul'' and 'scandalous. On the
other hand it is not surprising that the New
Jersey democrats, in regaining possession OF
the Legislature, should seize the first opportu.
nifty to give this and the last preceding radical
Congress q piece Of their mind. Upon the
whole they administer to the radicals good
dose Of wholesome medicine, though the latter
refuse to swallow it. But what is the purpose
Of the two houses Of this Congress with regard
to this constitutional amendment? Why, If
duly ratified, is it not proclaimed as part and
parcel Of the constituton.-N. Z. Herald.
What is considered "disrcspectful' and
scandalous "by the Radical leaders in Con-
gress, is regarded by the conservative people Of
the country, as just and true. Well done

GERRYMANDERING.- The wretched Conven

rageous gcrrymandering in order to hand over
the State to African rule They yesterday vot-
ed Richmond and Henrico one district, and
were steadily proceeding upon the system of
overwhelming the white voice where it pre-
dominates in a county OF city. Gerrymander-
ing is base aud dishonest at all times. 1t Is
bad enough when white men alone are con
cerued, but in such a case as ours, where the
voice of civilized and highly-refned white
community is to be drowned by the votes of
ignorant negroes, the outrage is one OF the
most grievous and monstrous character. 1t
is, indeed, without precedent in the world 5
