New YORK, January 2l.-A special to

ness of Chief Justice Chase he was unable
to attend the Supreme Court yesterday.
The Worlds special says it is gen.

he should nominate w. d. Bishop for
Commissioner of Patents.
The commercial treaties with Vene-
zuela and Madagascar was ratified by
the Senate yesterday.
Strong effort will be made to-day in

CoLORED MEN IN THE REPUBLICAN,
Aa4 CONVENTION.

The Radical papers insist that South
eru Democrats have no right to- be rep
resented in the great Democratic Ma
t;onal Convention which is to name the
next President and Vice President of the
United States. They deny that there is
any "Ioyalty among Southern Demo-
Gratis. And, therefore, they say they
should have no voice in selecting rulers
for a country in which they have no
rights. They think none but loyal men
should control, and loyal men should do
80 exclusively.
Well, the black people are all loyal
according to the Radical view. 1t you
should prove % black man bore arms
AGAINST the Government, still the color
Of his skin would settle the question OF
LOYALTY. There is not the least doubt
about that matter. We say then let our
oolored friends test this thing. Let
them elect their own delegates, as many
ms they may be entitled to by the rule
adopted by the Radical Republican Con-
vention, and send them to 1T. Their
Radical friends in the North tell them
they have the right, and are as good as
anybody. Iftheir white leaders here tell
them anything else they do not tell them
the truth. Let them elect their dele
gates, as they Have right to do, and
send them on. If they are refused seats,
they win only find out that their Radical
friends here have cheated them with fine
words and false promises. They will find
cut then whether The LEDGER, with al
its plain talk, is not better friend II
them than these men that always prom
Use fair and never pay.

Latest from Washington.

Special to the Louisville Coufier.l
WASHINGTON, January ls-The pro.
ceedings in the House o-day were with
out especial interest. The whole day
was devoted to debate.
The Ohio Radical Congressman are
much exercised over the report that the
Legislature of that State will re-district
it SO as to secure fair representation.
Some of these Radicals talk of passing a
bill in Congress to prevent the change,
but il is all talk.
The delegation here from Ohio for the
purpose of urging the claims of Cincin-
natl as suitable place for holding the
Democratic Convention, are sanguine of
the contamination of their wishes.
Secresy was imposed on the members
Of the Democratic caucus last evening.
1t can be stated, however, that the pro-
ceedings were characterized by great
unanimity, and measures were adopted
that will bring satisfactory results in the
coming campaign.
The Committee on Elections will have
to decide whether Utah is Republican in
form Of government, as Mr.. Mccarthy,
who is here 10 contest Hooper's seat
claims that the election was unfair, and
wholly at variance with the laws Of the
United States.

HAVANA.

HAVANA, January 2O.-The publica-
ton note at St Thomas was unofficial.
As the authorities refused to give details
on the subject, the Danish Consul at
New York telegraphed to the Captain of
the Corvetta, Doeglar, that the reply of
the Secretary of War was satisfactory,
aud the President of the United States
had sent the treaty to the Senate for
ratification.
/. is rumored here that one Rafael
sailed in the steamer Moro Castle for
New York, to issue bonds for Santa
Anna to enable the latter to prosecute
his plans against the Mexican govern
ment in Yucatan.

r In issuing bis proclamation declaring
the reeistralion void, Governor Brown
low proclaims as expressively the parti-
IAN character Of his despetic acts, as did
Leonard his animus, when, without the
pretence of any contempt for his court,
he issued his warrant Of arrest for con-
tempt, coupled with declaration that
.Messrs. Somerville and Dubose had been
conpicfed, though their case had never
beer heard before the court Of which be
is Judge. The Governor found the regis
tration good enough as long as It accom-
plshed the extreme purposes oil the
Radical party. 1t was only when 1t
failed Of his partizan purpose that 1t
was proclaimed fraudulent and void
This is shameless and brazen, and will
bo as fruitless as it is mean and des-
picable. We tell him that no new and
honest registration can make the white
men Of Memphis and Shelby county his
tools and puppets. Appoint whom he
may as registration commissioner, such
commissioner must violate the law,
commit perjury, degrade himself from
the standard of gentleman, and cover
himself with the infamy Of a
mountain Of frauds if he alters TIE
result of future election by the
process of re registration. If the former
Registration Commissioner was in fault
at all, in the execution of his mission
under the unconstitutional law, it was
in being too severe and exacting, and
throwing too many obstacles in the way
of white registration. There is not one
he admitted whom his successor can
honestly refuse. And there are five hun
dred more at least who are entitled and
can be registered, if the new Registra-
ton Commissioner has sufficient respect
for himself to do his duty fairly and i'm
partially, according to the letter and
shirt of the law under which he acts.
We shall see whether he is gentleman
worthy of the respect of his fellow-citi-
zens, or whether he is tool of Brown
low, capable of excluding men who are
entitled to registration on the suspicion
that they may be Conservatives. As we
are unacquainted with him, without rexr
an opinion, we shall be com
pelled to wait and see.

In New Hampshire there are unsnis-

people. "A Democratic meeting was
held at Littleton in the southern part Of
the State which was largely attended.
Extra trains were run and numerous
delegations came in from the surround

ticket, and so outspoken and deter
