Governor Whyte in his late Message, on
the subject Of malicious prosecutions Of
the Registrars of voters, says:
"Legislatinn should be had Furnishing
criminally all persons who shall conspire
malicIously to procure the indictment OF
any judges of election or officers of regis
tration for acts done in the performance OF
their official duty. Unless some provision
of law is made to protect such officers, il
will be difficult to secure the services OF
competent and honorable men in these
places, for such persons will not undertake
these duties, if, after the honest and faithful
discharge of their public functions, they
are to be dragged miles away from home
subjected to u criminal trial in the United
States Court, required to procure, at con
siderable expense, legal aid for tSeir de
fence, and to secure the attendance of their
witnesses at their own cost, when the
charge may be made from purely political
hostility or private malice by persons
whose pecuniary responsibility does not
justify civil suit for the recovery of dam
ages.
THE whole subject is ofvital importance
to our people, and should command your
earnest and thoughtful consideration"

Peculiar View OF the Civil Rights Bill

We take the following article from the
Richmond State Journal, the Republican
organ of Virginia, as representing one view
in opposition to the Civil Rightsbill now
before Congress
THE colored people of Virginia have to-
day magnificent opportunity to show
their good sense and their real interest in
the permanent welfare of this common
wealth. An ill.judged measure is now be
fore Congress which may compel the edu-
cation of white and colored children. We
do not care to discuss any abstract princi
pie involved in this measure. The practi
cal results which are absolutely certain tC
follow its adoption alone concern us. We
know as well as any future consequence OF
present action can be known that the at
tempt to combine the two races in the
schools will result in breaking up the
schools altogether. We recognize this fact
as caused by prejudices and antipathies
which we have no power to uproot. 1t is
enough that we see great and beneticent
system imperilled by an attempt to reduce
an abstraction to immediate practice. Let
us appeal to the practical common sense
of every intelligent colored man to say il
he really believes that his people will get
better educational privileges by attending
the same schools with the whites? Will
that state of feeling be engineered which
leads men to give generously to the com
mon cause of education Will the contact
of the children thus enforced be such as to
encourage the hope Of higher attachments
and more fraternity of sentiment as they
grow up9
"Let it be considered that the colored
race, though large in numbers, constitute
a minority of the whole people. Acting
with the greatest unity possible, they have
no power to compel concessions from the
whites. Whatever they get must come as
the free gift of the majority. 1t is there
fore wise to be verv careful about insist
ing upon that which can do no practical
good to either race, but is sure to bring
confusion and ruin to the most precious
and most truly conversative institution OF
our modern society--the free schools. Let
our colored people at once ask Congress
to desist from any legislation which en-
forces mixed schools, and they will have
established new claim to respect and con-
fdence."
It is stated by Washington correspon-
dent of the Richmond Enquirer that Hon.

After the withdrawal Of Attorney Gen
eral Williams nomination for Chief Judge
of the Supreme Court, the President nom
mated Hon. Caleb Cushing, which seems
to have fallen like thunder clap upon the
Senate and the country. Yesterdays pa
pers bring the news that the President has
withdrawn also the nomination of Mr.
Gushing. The Baltimore Gazette says:
Who next? The nomination of Mr.
Cushing for Chief Justice has been with
drawn. The letter to Mr.. Jefferson Davis
recommending Mr.. Roane to his favor, was
the pretext, and Mr.. Cushing has been
made to feel that the Supreme Court must
be Radical throughout. Nobody believes
that Mr.. Gushing would not have served
his new masters as long as they were in
the ascendant, but there are mutterings OF
a coming storm, and the new Chief Justice,
when we'll seated, might have yielded too
much to the new order of things. AS In
the. past, he was our Vicar Of Bray" there
was no trusting the future. So the letter
to Mr.. Davis is used with fatal effect, and
Mr.. Cushing packs his trunks and takes
his departure for Madrid. The question,
therefore, "Who will be Chief Justice p
is still an exciting National conumdrum,
with plenty of ready answers, none of
which will probably turn out correct.

PORT ACCO:
Friday Morning, January.........16, 1874.
9Several of our EXCHANGES lately

@rSeveral of our exchanges lately
have had articles intimating that ru-
mors were in circulation of designs on
the part of some to break up, or bolt
the Democratic caucus and nomination
Tor Senator. We heartily endorse the
remarks of our contemporaries in depre-
eating anything like factional strife
and want of harmony among our Dem
ocratic representatives in the Legisla-
ture; and in reminding them they will
be held to a strict political accounta-
bility, if they consult personal prefer
ences and ends, and factional triumph,
rather than the general good of their
constituents. If party organization is
to be disrupted because this or that
individual can or cannot be elected to
the Senate, or any other position, then
it is time that those who are put for
ward, or, as is oftenest the case, put
themselves forward, to represent the
party, should be summarily set aside.
1t is attempted to justify such conduct
on the plea of ring rule" We depre-
cate unfair combinations in political
matters as much as any one. But is
not the cry of "ring" raised most often
by those defeated in such counter COM
binations; or who are not permitted to
regulate things as they please; and
who, when successful, pursue the exact
policy and conduct which they so con-
denim in others? Our political organ
ization, upon which we insist depend
the prosperity and political safety of
our people, should not be endangered
by the struggles Of such men for pow
er and place. If they are not willing
to submit to the rule of the majority
the only arbitrament among free peo-
ple-they should be excluded from all
place and trust in the matter. The
press of the State can properly regu-
late such things if it would. If, in
stead of being the organs of particular
men, or factions, and representing their
interests, it would seek to represent the
general popular good and will, such
would be its moral force, that disor-
ganizers, factions, and "rings," would
all bow before its expression of public
opipiop

Since our last notice of Congressional
proceedings, the Senate has passed bill
repeating the salary grab of March 8, 1878,
excepting that part which affects the sal
airy of the President and Judges of the Su-
preme Court. The bill provides that all
salaries shall be the same as they were pri-
or to the act of March 3, 1872, that mile
age shall not be allowed for the first ses-
sion of the present Congress, and all back
pay not drawn or returned to the Treasury
shall be covered into the Treasury and de-
clared to be the property of the United
States. The House concurred in the Sen
ate's amendments without debate Both
Houses seemed more anxious to get rid of
the subject in some way rather than to
perfect the bill. AS it now stands, if ap-
proved by the President, members will
hereafter be entitled to mileage as before.
This operates unequally and unjustly, as,
under the rates as fixed, a member from q
distant State gets almost as much mileage
as salary. No other bill of general inte-
rest has been passed. The Civil Rights
bill, after characteristic speech by Gen.
Butler, has been recon,mitted for amend
ments. In the House, resolutions have
been passed declaring an increase of taxa
ton unnecessary, and any additional issue
of United States bonds inexpedient, In
the Senate, after long discussion upon
the financial system of the country, a new
bill has been offered by Mr.. Frelinghuysen.
Thus Congress debates and resolves what
ought, and what ought not to be done,
without doing anything; leaving financial
matters to regulate themselves, which they
would do in due course of time, if freed
from governmental interference, and the
policy and law which makes one currency
for the government and another for the
people.

sB~"The Republic of Murcia" has bee

t"The Republic of Murcia" has been
short lived. The Communist insurgents
who three months ago rose in rebellion a
gainst the Spanish Government, seized
Cartagena, and with it some of the fines,
ships in the Spanish navy, and set up in
the Moorish city government of the red
flag, have been compelled to succumb to
the memorable logic of shot and the star
walton to which they were subjected when
a besieging army cut them off from the out
side world. These Murcian rebels fought
well, but the strength of the Madrid gov
eminent was more than they could success
fully oppose. Cartagena surrendered on
Tuesday, and the army of Doainiquez is
now occupying the city.

OBITUARY,

Died. suddenly, January 9Th, 1874, at his
residence, near Newtown, in this county, with
rheumatic affection of the heart, Mr.. THOMAS
WILSON TUCKER, in the Gath year of his age.
Mr.. TUCKER had been for many years an ex-
emplary and good citizen. His manner of life
was, in very many respects, worthy of imita-
ton. He was respected and beloved by his
neighbors; was a kind and indulgent father, a
devoted and affectionate husband, and an oblg-
ing friend. His demise will be seriously felt in
the community in which he lived.
He has left widow and children, and others
nearly related, to mourn sadly their irreparable
loss.
Notwithstanding the inclemency ofthe wealth
err his funeral was largely attended. At the
grave it was whispered, ''the last Of WILSON
TUCKER-how sad p
