TN THE COUNCIL OF RICHMOND,
l. JUNE 10th, 1871
Mr.. Isaacs presented the following preamble
and resolutions, which were read and unapi
mously adopted
"A more melancholy duty rarely devolves up
on any public body than that which is imposed
upon the Council of the city of Richmond by the
announcement of the death of JoHs CALVIN
DAVIS, ESQ. In the prime of an early and pro.
missing manhood, just as he had been summoned
by the voice of his fellow-citzens to take part in
the deliberations of this body for the ensuing
two years, he has been laid low by the iron hand
of death. Though young in years, he has occu.
pied for no brief period positions in the walks of
business life in this city which demanded high
qualities of head and heart, and the success with
which he had met every responsibility and dis
charged every duty commended him to the con-
tidence and esteem of the entire community and
gave bright promise of a life of eminent useful
ness. 1t would not become this body to intrude
no the sacred circle of home and fireside or to
lift tlIg veil which surrounds the privacy of the
deep sorrow of the stricken household but as
representatives of the people of Richmond, in
view of the public calamity and grief
"H is res0loed by the CounciI That in testi-
moay Of their own appreciation, and that OF
their constituents, of the character and worth
mark of respect to his memory the members of
this body will wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for thirty days, and will attend his funeral
in a body.
Resotped, That a copy of this minute be for
warded by the clerk to the family of the de-
ceased, and that it be published in the city
papers"

JOHN CoCHRANE is chairman of Gree.
ley's committee; and Greeley's opinion ol
John Cochrane-not to mention his opinion
of Greeley-is pretty plainly given in this
extract from the Tribune of October 25,
1865:
Gen. Cochrane has taken his stand in
fact, whatever he may profess, with those
who to-day refuse to colored Americans
the right of suffrage, whether in the North
or in the South, and will soon deny them
the right Of education, the freedom of the
press, and, Gf they dare) the right to sue
and testify in the courts Of justice.
Let him say what he will, the triumph
of the party to which he has apostatised in
the triumph of oppression, the disfran-
chsement of race, the branding of our
fathers as knaves or idiots in proclaiming
that all men have an inalienable right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
and that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent Of the gov
erned.' Hell from beneath is stirred to
demoniac joy by the spectacle of such a
treachery, and every traitorous rufiian who,
in the dark dens of this emporium, gleeful-
ly drank health and success to jeff. Davis,
while Lees guns were laundering at Get
tysburg, or, a few days later, fired draft
offices and devastated orphan asylums in
aid of the rebellion, will now rapturously
hail General Cochrane as compatriot and
brother.

CONFLICT OF EXECUTIVE AND JUDI.
CIAL AUTHORITY.-It will have been
remembered that Lawrence Murphy was
convicted in the Hastings Court, about two
months ago of feloniously shooting Mr..
Adams at the Tredegar works, and SEN
fenced to three years confinement in the
penitcntiary therefor. Judge Guigon sus-
pended the sentence, to await the result of
an application to Governor Walker for the
pardon. .of Lawrence. The Governor de-
clined to issue an absolute pardon but COM
muted the sentence to twelve months con-
finement in the city Jail.
Judge Guigon Immediately notified His
Excelency that the commutation would
not be recognized, when it was withdrawn,
only to be renewed in about ten days, and
was accepted by Murphy. On the return
of Judge Guigon from his recent absence
from the city, he again declined to recog-
nize the action of the Governor, and order
ed Murphy to the penitentiary in accord
ance with the sentence of the court. Before
this order was executed, Messrs. Cabell
and Meredith, counsel for Murphy, went
before Judge Wexford, of the City Circuit
Court and obtained writ of habeas corpus,
returnable on Thursday, the 18th instant,
claiming that the Communication of the Gov
ernor operates as an absolute pardon, and
that Murphy is entitled to his freedom.
This point will be argued and decided to-
morrow.
