WASHINGTON, Jnly L-The Democratic i
Senators and Congressmen havo issued an '
address in favor of tho Convention at Phi?
ladelphia. "National Union," they declare,
ga should be tho watch-word of every man,
and they denounce the radicals for persist?
?s ' ently refusing to admit the Southern
States, and say that laws have been passed ?
effecting their interest in disregard of tho |
fundamental principle of free Government. .
They urge free representation from all
States and Territories at said Convention, !

parp?se of restoring the constitutional j

From expressions of members cf the i
House, since the report of tho Rosseau- ;

expulsion to a public reprimand before tho j
bar of tho House. His friends contend
that if he is expelled, au effort will be made 1
to return him as United Stales Senator
from Kentucky thia winter.

the board refused to sign the report.

terest of those citizens who are using their I
capital in improving and building up our
now desolate looking streets with stores
and dwelbng housos, and instead of the
municipal authorities placing this obstacle
in the way, they should, as far as the inte?
rests of the city will allow, encourage tboee
who are striving to adorn and build up our

cular as lenient as possible. Be it, there?
fore,

WHEREA8 Major-Genentl Sickles, com
m au ding Department of the Caroli?
nas, on tho 26th inst., by Special Orders

military custody, charged with felonies or
misdemeanors on the persona and property
of Colored persons, suould bo turned over
to the civil nuthontios for trial, and that
like cases arising hereafter will be disposed
of iu the sume manner:
And whereas thin order-so gratifying to
the feelings and sentiments of tho peopl?1
oT thin S?ate-is based upon the legal opi
.lion ot Chief J ?HI ice Dunkin, given upon
tho urgent request of this Department,
and communicated to Gen. Sickles: lat.

District Courts of December I860, ni t
hiving been put in operation, I suppose the

has been the ruting of thu Circuit Jungea
1 in reference to cases of bastardy ami va?
grancy whieh have, conn h< ?ore them. The

; the person or property ol a person of

i must be construed in reference lo ita ob?
ject. My opinion is, that perenna of color
, are competent to testify before Gt au-'
Juries tim! Magistrates tn criminal cases
? t -Ilching the person orproperty of persons
of color.'*
And whereas the security of the liberty

And to tue end that this high privilege
may be retained bv the good people of this

is the duty of every civil Magistrate' t-">give
careful consideration :.. every complaint
made to him by n person of color against
a white, man for any felony or misdemeanor
alleged to have been committed against
tho person or property of a person of
color; and if he. upon such consideration,
concludes that th? r?< ai?, reasonable
grounds f<?r such complaint. said Magis?
trate shall take tho affidavit of snell person
of color, and issue his warrant amaina! tho
offender, requiring his arrest and recog?
nizance to appear at the next tenn of the
Court of General Sessions? just ?ts he
would do if thc party making tho com?
plaint were a white man; and he will also
recognize all witnesses by whom the com?
plainant may desire to prove the charge,
as is now provided by law, for securing the
attendance of State witnesses. All Sheriffs
and Constables will promptly, faithfully
ami fear li ssly execute al! such warrants aa
may be placed in their hands.
And I eal! upon all good citizens to aid
in the fair ami faithful execution of thc
laws of this State, as expounded by tho
Chief Justice; ind very soon the earnest
wish expressed hy the commanding Gene?
ral in Orders No! IO, (published herewith
