NEGRO JURORS-A RADICAL JUDGE
DODGHS THE QUESTION.
The Chattanooga Union of the pot

The ChatfanOOga Union of the 18th
ult makes this statement
"Our readers are well aware that during
the present term Of the Circuis Court, over
which Judge w. L. Adams has the honor
to preside, various attempts have been
made to empannel negro juries, but the
Judge has refused 70 DO so, alleging that
he had not received a copy Of the act au-
thorizing them 10 hold Offices or sit on
juries. Yesterday an official copy Of the
act was presented to the Judge, when he
annuHuced that mo more Jury cases would
be tried this term OF the court. The result
Of this action is 10 leave seven or eight
men lying in jail Cor the next eight months,
awaiting trial. depriving some Of them,
probably, OF their righIiul liberty, and
burdenlng the city add. county with the
cost Of their keeping" r..
Here il clear ease of lodging the
question whether negroes have the right
to sat on jurits. When the Sheriff Of
Hamilton county, himself Radical, and
candidate for re-clsrtion, presented
panel of negroes to the court to be drawn
from, Judge Adams, Radical, refused to
allow them to be called, on the Ostensible
plea that he had not received an official
copy Of the Of the Legislature making
negroes competent Jurors This occurred
on the 10Th Of February. Since then a
number Of negroes of Chattanooga, ae-
cording to the Onion of that city,
made efforts to get an official copy
of the law, but failed, from
some unexplained cause. An Off
cial copy was, however, obtained, and
the sequel is given by our Chattanooga
contemporary. Judge Adams was evil
IDENTIFY afraid TO decide whether negroes
have the right to sit on iuIies Some of
tho best legal minds in the State are Of
the opinion that the late action of the
Legislature gives the negro neither the
right to hold Office nor sat on iuries, and
it is legitimate to infer from Judge Adj
ans lodging the question, that he en-
tertains grave doubts upon that point.
At least he determined not to decide the
question until after the negroes could be
got to vote the Radical ticket at the
March election That is not very
creditable dodge in a Judge

A few days since some of the most pro-

had been negotiated with the North Ger

THE WHISKY TAX.

The Ways and Means Committee have
finally decided to report in favor of re-
tanning the present 50 per gallon tax on
whisky. The recommendation Of the
Special Commissioner Of the Revenue,
that the tax be reduced to Fifty cents per
gallon was considered, and 4 proposition
by way Of compromise was offered, re-
dncing the tax to seventy-five cents. 1t

HAS THE PRESIDENT BEEN GUILTY


" do solemnB swear that | viii faith
fully execute the Office Of President Of
the United States, and will to the best of
nay ability, preserve, project and~defend
the constitution Of the United States
This is the oath of Office prescribed by
the constitution, and taken BY Andrew
johnson on the 18th Of April, 1863, when
under the terms of the constitution, he
assumed the functions and powers of the
Chief Magistracy There is a general
misrepresentation of the true character Of
the Executive Office in this government,
and under recent Radical teaching, there is
prevalent the grossly erroneous view that
It's incumbent is the mere servant of Con-
gress Indeed, main portion of the
Federal legislation of the 39th and 4Oth
Congress has been directed 10 divesting
the Office Of the powers conferred by the
constitution and reducing the President
to the position of mere register of its
edicts, without the power of question over
their constitutionality or rightfulness, and
Of all discretion in the conduct Of the gov
eminent except that of mere ministe-
rial agent Such was not the intent of
the constitution, nor has it been the prae-
tee from 1889 to 1865. The Executive
is the supreme function of government /;
is entirely independent in it's adminis-
tration, Of the legislative; is entrusted
with large powers; and has imposed upon
it weightier responsibilities than any
other Analyze the words Of the oath
above quoted, and contrast itwith the oath
required OF Senators and Representatives
The latter is simply an obligation
to support that is, to do moths
ing in contravention of the lunda-
mental law of the constitution; that
in the discharge of all .he duties en-
Joined upon them under the enumerated
powers, they will keep within its limits.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2G-To His Excel
lency, Andrew johnson, President of the
United States | am requested by the As

lions II. HAIGHT, Governor.
Resolved By the Assembly of the State
Of California, That the people of this State
will now, as they have in the past, bear
true faith and feaIty to the government OF
our fathers that by all legal and Just
means they will sustain the President Of
the United States in the complete discharge
of his duties.
Resolved, That we urge the President Of
the United States, in the name of our peo-
ple. that the freemen of the State Of Cali
fornia, in the name and in behalf Of the
cause of constitutional liberty, TO be firm
and unbending in the msintainsnce Of the
Executive Department of the government,
and to that end we pledge him our undi-
vided support.
Resolved, That the Radical majority an
the Congress Of the United States have
trampled upon and disregarded the great
interests Of the people, and instead Of le-
eislating to relieve the people from the
burdens of taxation under which the entire
industry of the country Is suffering, are
bending their united efforts 70 involve The
country in the vortex of civil var, and in
the opinion of the Assembly Of California
have proved themselves unworthy alike Of
the high positions they noE ocdupy, and OF
the confidence Of the people.

GRANT ENCOURAGES INsUBORDI

Gen Hancock issued an order on the

tracted
"By direction of General Grant, SO

Quarters, as removes the Aldermen and As
sistant Aldermen of the city of New Or
leans, therein named, "for contempt Of
orders from these headquarters" and ap-
points others in their stead, is hereby re-
voked, and the members of the Boards of
Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen removed
by it are hereby reinstated, and will resume
their duties the same az if the said orders
had not been issued
So much of paragraph two, special or

headquarters, as appoints certain persons
members of the Boards of Aldermen and
Assistant Aldermen of the city Of New
Orleans, in place of previous appoiutees
who had declined or failed TO qualify, is,
in consequence, also revoked"
Disobedience of military orders on the
part of Radicals does not appear to be
an ofense in the eyes of Gen. Grant
The parties reinstated by this order of
Gen Hancock, "by direction of Gen
Grant, were removed by the former be-
cause Of a willful violation of an order
issued by Gen Sheridan on the ground
that il was necessary for the successful
execution of the reconstruction laws of
Congress. The men who thus violated
Gen Sheridan's order were appointed by
him, and when they were removed by
Gen Hancock, their places were supplied
by some of the best citizens of New Or,
leans, possessing large interests in the
city, and who would have acted entirely
free from political and partisan Influences
in their official capacity. The New Or
leans Times says the action of Gen. Grant
has produced very seriously damaging
effect upon city currency and credit
The notes of the city declined and there
was little disposition on the part of bro.
kers to buy, and great eagerness to sell
The cause Of this result is the want of
confidence in the restored Couneilmer,
who are generally bitter partisans, and
appear to be more intent on promoting
the interests of Radicalism, than the
credit efficiency and honesty of the city
government .a..--a
As consequence of this interference
on the part of Gen. Grant, Gen Han
cock has asked to be relieved Of the com
mand of the district The citizens Of
New Orleans, who have large interests in
the city and State, are importuning him
to withdraw his request, and have APP
pealed to the President to make no

the most ample powers, as ambassador

the action Of Mr. Burlingame would be
suggestive to other leaders Of the Radical
party, when the faseo of impeach-
ment shall have entirely played out, and
the last hope destroyed, of a Radical
victory in November next. As Mr. Stanton
will then cease to take his meals in the

his chances for his promotion under his

Stanton. Teere is a never ceasing re-

prisoners of war is characteristic of the
imperials; besides the tenure of Office is
for life. We would suggest to Mr. STAN
ton, in the event of his departure, to take
in his retinue some of the Tennessee
Radicals, for the chiefweapons in Chinese
warfare are gongs and stink-pots, and the
