TRIAL OF THE PRESIDENT,

Great LnAerest Misunderstanding
Presidents Friends in Bette,
Spirits.
Special to the Louisville Courier.l
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The trial
OF the President, the greatest trial OIL
modern times, has fairly commenced,
and the interest manifested to.day ex
cceds that at any time Previous. All
parts Of the galleries were crowded, OK
ceptiDg the diplomatic Department.
Few OF these attend, regarding 1t as
disrespoctful to the Chief Magistrate OF
the nation to be present at proceedings
conceived in and conducted by party
spite and hate.
There was much surprise on the ap-
pearance of the managers to see Bing-
ham and Butler arm in arm, as Butler
has denounced Bingham vs. a murder
or, and Bingham has his opinion about
Buffers p%ecuniary operations at New
Orleans, yetthey p~romeRaded up the
aisle rs closely bound together as the
Siamese twins.
The Presidents friends are evident
ly in better spirtst this evening than they
have been for some days.

FACT.

For the first time in the history OF
this country, thousands Of negroes, an
ticipating a war of races, and alarmed
at the prospects ahead in America,
are eagerly applying to the Colon.
%ization agents for passage to Liberia
There are more applicants than the
Society can accommodate with their
existing means Of transportation; and
an application has been made to Con
|gress to establish a line of steamships
Ito Liberia. From every State of the
South come hundreds on hundreds Of
eager applicants for o passage to the
negro republic in Africa.
This is the condition into which the
elegant theoretical, drawing room phil
|anthropy of the Radical school has at
length brought the negro. And to
what q condition has it brought this
tax ridden country!

A Good One.

The following e~pigrammatic lines are
too good to be lost. That all our readers
may understand them, We will preface
them by saying that John F. Anderson is
a w~ell-known and wellto-do citizen Of
this county, and has for many years been
an extensive trader, flnancier, &c, which
his ample lei and good sense amply
Justified. Mr.. Anderson divides his means
into different chaMnels. Among other en-
terprises lie went into partnership with q
MIR. O'Neil In the tanning business. It Is
said that, In winding up the business, An
derson lost about $4,000, Mr.. O'Neilhaving
thus badly managed matters. We believe
there was some litigation about 1t. But
mind you, we do not make any charges In
the case at all, for we know nothing more
about 1t than we have stated. We only
want to publish an epigram by a lawyer
poet, which hos fallen into our hands:
Facts prove this leather-headed firm
Was managed in neat manner,
John Anderson being neatly tann'd
by John O'Neil, the tanner.
The outfit funds were well arranged
To keep the business steady,
O'Neil supplying all the gas,
And Anderson the ready.

THE REGARD FOR LAW.

The Radicals passed a law, by a pure
and simple act Of usurpation, authori-
zing Alabama to make q Constitution,
but provided that the Constitution
be not valid unless approved by a ma
iority of the registered voters Of that
State. Congress then provided for
registration through military officers.
The Constitution was made and sub
mitted according to the law of Con.
gress. 1t failed to receive the requir-
ed majority Of registered v~oters-lack'
ing about 10000. Mr.. Stevens has
brought in a bill enacting that the Con-
stitutin was adopted, and providing for
the admission Of Alabama into the Un-
ion, a State that has never been out of
| the Union. But she is to come in now
! with a negro govcrnment-negro ST.
I premacy-negro rulc-something new
\ er sanctioned by the people of Ala
I bama.
The Constitution was defeated under
1 the law of Congress, but now Congress
is to declare that it was adopted, so as
to get the negro votes for the Presiden-
/ tial election. They call this progress.
X 1t is.

New Orleans to Gen. Hancock

New Orleans to Gen. Hancock.
About 200 citizens of New Orleans,
ofNorthcrn and Western birth, sign
their names to q card of cOmmenda
ton to Gen. Hancock for the irmness,
Justice and moderation which charac-
tcrized his command of the Fifth Mill
tary District. The Picayunc in allu-
ding to to the carnival of lies about
Gen. Hancock, trumped up by Radi-
Gals because they could not whip him
into their role Of Tyranny and usurpa-
ton, speaks as following:
So false is the story tclegraphed
North that Mr.. Davis and Gen. Han
cock were seen, on the night ofthe fire
mems parade, riding together in the
same carriage, that they did not meet
or sec one another at all while the for
mer was here, o have any intercom
munication directly o indirectly.
We doubt not that each respects the
other as q tried soldier and gentleman.
So untrue is it that the bands of the
iremcn played the "Bonnie Blue Flag
before Gen. Hancock's headquarters
when saluting him, that they played the
popular loyal Federal airs alone. So
unfair is the statement that the carry
ing six American flags in the firemen's
procession is any proof of less loyalty
now than when Sheridan was here last
year. that then only n company car
ried a U. S. flag, while, before the war,
it was never the custom to carry flags
at all.

THE MEMPHIS MIDDLE.
What q Radical Journal Thinks OF
Hunter.
From the Chicago Republican,

From the Chicago Republican,
Things seem to be in a terrible snarl
in Tennessee, especially in Memphis.
They have a Judge there named Hun.
ter, who appears to be an original &c.
MUS, and who'must be descended in d.
rect line from Dogberry. He is not on
ly Judge, but Constitution and law as
we'll. He presides over the Criminal
Court in the Bluff City. Some time ago
the local editor of the Avalanche, an in.
tensely disloyal newspaper, despatched
him with acrimonious invective through
the columns of his journalistic depart
ment, which philippe the weave Of the
judicial ermine measured as a contempt
Of court, and accordingly fined and i'm
prisoned the quilldriver. The editor,
in.chief then took up cudgei in defense
Of his subordinate, and daily belittled
and belabored Hunter with sturdy words
from the dictionary Of eyecratioa. This
was too much for human nature to en-
at least as embodied in the Judge of the
Criminal Court for Memphis so he pla-
ced another contempt record on his
docket, and sent his reviler to Jail for
ten days. The wife Of the editor-in-
chief then came to the rescue, appealed
to the public for sympathy, and began
to pour hot shot into the aggravated
Judge with true feminine spirit and
vim. Meantime the second prisoner
has been released from Imprisonment
on a writ of ha6eas corpus, and Hunt
er, feeling terribly outraged by what
he terms an illegal proceeding, has shut
up his justice-shop until the impedi
ments in his path can be removed.
When we consider that the bill ofrights,
prefixcd to the Constitution Of Tennes-
see, expressly allows to the press the
utmost reasonable freedom in criticising
the conduct of public officers, holding
persons liable only to a suit for libel on
abuse of privilege and that contempt
of Court consists only ia disobeyiag its
processes, or contemptuons language
uttered, or deeds done in its immediate
presence, the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the
whole proceedings will be apparent.
There must be a jolly administration Of
justice in Memphis.

An Omen of Good.

Gen. L. C. Hindman Of Arkansas
has consented, at the earnest request o.
the State Central Committee, and tho
Phillips County White Mans Union, to
address the people against the Radical
Constitution II Memphis Avalanche.
When such men-the true leaders OF
tho South-the master-minds OF oul
civilization-consent to rc-enter the
political arena and arouse the people to
their interests in the future ofthe coun'
try-the star of hope already dawns.
When the politicians of Tennessee
follow in the wake of Kentucky, recog'
nizing sterling worth even in Gray
Jackets and ~repudiating the Radical un'
