act mode provided in the deed.

ance OF a decree OF the Chancerv Cont of

SENATOR CHALMERS opinion in the
Davis bribery case presents the facts and
the argument in nutshell, 1t is indis-
putable that the bribe-money Was paid IN
consideration of the pardon, and it does
not matter whether it was received by the
Lieutenant-G for his own benefit,
or that of his next friend, Adjutant-Gen-
eral Packer, who was self-contessed agent
of corruption, recipient of the bribe-
money and perurer.
Nevertheless, if the Senate in the ex-
ercise of its discretion, should confne its
sentence simply to expulsion from office,
without placing the Northumberland
under the ban of disqualification hereaf-
ter, the public, under the circumstances,
would approve its action and feel that the
demands of justice in his case have been
satisfied.

The Political Relations Of the
COlOred Voters.

The following resolutions introduced
into the Senate on the 18th inst, by Sen
ator Grey, (colored,) cannot have es-
capped observation
Whereas, Peace and harmony are two of
the great supports TO our political institu-
lions. and calculated to carry out the great
principles of a nations prosperity and
build up a successful system of Govern
ment; therefore, be IL
Resolved, That as colored Republicans of
this State, we do now pledge orr co-opera-
ton with that party in the future, which
will guarantee the honest support and full
enjoyment of all rights in common with
other citizens of the State, now enjoyed UNI
der the Constitution, and demand of the
present Legislature the enactment of just
and equitable laws, and that no infringe
ment be attempted to, In any wise, abridge
our rights as class.
We cannot disguise our qualification at
this indication of Independent thought
and action by the colored voters. To
our mind, nothing can benefit them more
than to do their own thinking, and to de-
termine for themselves, without prejudice,
their own line of conduct They have
experienced the dupiicity, the selfshness,
the base ingratitude of their carpe bag
leaders, who have only Iured them TO
their destruction-used them as beasts
of burden-and have even sacrificed
the lives of cOlored men on the altar of
their unhallowed ambition. 1t was
Ames who said that the blood of colored
people would be good for the Repuoli
can party, meaning self-seeking adventu-
rers like himself, and who straightway put
in motion the diabolical machinery for
carrying his atrocious theory into prac-
tice. The Democrats and Conservatives
would be glad to have rest from all this
turmoil and strife between the races, |
which have been fomented by the Radi- !
cal leaders, and in token of their deter /
mination to comply with every declara-
ton they have made of equal laws and |
just dealing to all, without Partially or
discrimination, they can point to their
recorded acts since they have obtained
control of the legislative department of
the State government 1t is for the
colored people themselves to determine
where they will stand and what shall be
the future political relations between the
races. The resolutions of Senator Gray
are favorable augury of peace and
goodwill.
