isfied that the Presidents Southern
policy is needed to bring about good
feeling among all the Southern people,
without regard to politics or color. In

have no cause of complaint. The feel
ing between the two races is friendly,
and all are secured in their rights; and
he spoke of the liberality of The State

colored as we'll as white people. In
his own city, Macon, white and black
unite in selecting the best men to office,
without regard to politics.

Alexander H. Stephens rode out to-
day for the first time for several
months. MI. Stephens called at the
Executive Mansion and had a talk
with the President. He said he was
glad to see the President pursuing
such a course as would bring together
the discordant elements OF the country
in harmony, and that all the President
had to do was to perform his duty to
produce that desirable end. The Presi-
dent, In reply, remarked that it was
his purpose to pursue the course he
deemed best to serve the interests and
harmony Of the entire country, think.
ing the time had come when every
effort should be made to that end. He
expressed his pleasure in making the
acquaintance of Mr.. Stephens, and
that gentleman reciprocated the COM
pliment. Stephens also called upon
Randall and Clerk Adams.
The publication ofex Senator Wade's
letter attacking the Presidents policy
Is the subject of discussion to-day, and
the opinion prevails that the letter will
encourage other Republicans to speak
out their convictions.
Senator Gordon says the President
has done something which the DEM
ocratic party has been trying to &C
complish for years, and has made a
united South and a divided North.
Under this condition of things the sue
cess of the Democrats in the next
great contest is assured.

SAYS the Burlington HaOkeye:
"When a San Franciscan gets to be
immensely wealthy he builds a palace
of a stable, with marble halls, Brus-
sells carpets, and hot and cold water in
every stall ; a Chicago millionaire
builds a hotel nine stories high; a New
Yorker builds q hospital; a Bostonian
builds a college, and a Burlington man
builds another bay window to his
house and paints his front fence"

ROVER TO BE DISCHARGED We
learn from the SilVer State that the
District Attorney of Humboldt county
has ordered that a nOIie prosequi be
entered in the Ease OF j. w. Rover, re-
Gently tried in Washoe county on
change of venue, for the murder Of
I. N. Sharp at Rabbit Hole Springs
two years ago. Rover had been twice
tried and twice found guilty Of MUIR
der in Humboldt county. The Washoe
jury stood eight tor acquittal to four
for conviction. There is a bare doubt
OF his guilt, and this last jury seems
to have given him the full benefit of it.
On no other hypothesis can their fail
ure to agree be accounted for. The
case has become one Of the most noted
that has ever occupied the attention Of
the Courts Of this State. 1t is probable
that ere now Rover has walked forth
q free man, never again to answer for
the murder of his victim until he goes
before his Creator. He is very largely
indebted to the genius and ability Of
his leading attorney, NJ. s. Bonni6eld,
for the saving of his neck.

JUDGE BnADHEY,s REASONS.

The Congressional Record, issued on
the 10th instant, makes a volume of
1853 pages, covering the remarks of the
members of the Electoral Commission
in the consultations thereof, as reduced
to writing by themselves, in accord.
ance with the resolution of the Com
mission. Associate Justice Bradley,
who was so often especially referred
to by the press, took the ground that
Congress cannot institute a scrutiny
into the appointment of electors of a
State. 1t would be taking it out of the
hands of a State, to which it properly
belongs. This never could have been
contemplated by the people of the
States when they agreed to the Con-
stitution. 1t would be going one step
further back than that instrument al
lows. 1t is the BUSINESS and jurisdic-
ton OF the State to prevent frauds
from being perpetrated in the appoint
ment of electors, and not the bust
ness or jurisdiction of Congress.
The State is a sovereign pow
or within its W Jurisdiction,
and Congress can no more control or
review the exercise of that jurisdiction
than it can that of a foreign govern.
mem. The Investigations made by
legislative committees, in the loose
manner in which they are generally
made, are not only not adapted to the
proper entertainment of the truth for
such a purpose, but are totally
thorized by the Constitution. As
methods of inquiry for ordinary legis-
lative purposes, or for the purpose of
laying the foundation of q resolution
for bringing in an impeachment OF the
President for unconstitutional inter-
ference, of course they are competent;
but not for the purpose of receiving or
rejecting the vote of a State for the
presidential office. They are not made
such by any constitutional provision
or by any law. Legislation may
be based on the private knowledge of
members, and a resolution to bring in
an impeachment may rest on er pdrte
affidavits or on general information,
and the evidence taken by a commit
tee cannot be deemed incompetent for
such a purpose, but is often of great
service in giving information to the
Houses and legislative bodies, and to
the House of Representatives as the
grand inquest of the nation. But this
decision to receive or reject the vote of
a State is a final decision on the right
Of a State in that behalf, and of a most
solemn and delicate nature, and a

he would have spent if he had gone out
