Military Trials in the South.
Among the papers presented to the Senate
from the Bureau of Military Justice,relative
to recent trials in the South by military
commission, are those detailing the pro
ceedings in the case of Edward W. An
drews, of Orangeburg, South Carolina, now
serving out a sentence of two rears' impri
sonment, for killing a negro, charged with
stealing his horse.
Judge Holt, to whom a petition of two
hundred citizens of South Carolina for his
pardon, endorsed by the Governor, was
referred, says that their very numbers fur
nish additional grounds for the enforcement
of this inadequate sentence. It shows to b 2
so deeply seated and so widely spread, the
feeling of deadly hatred to the black race
among those who so lately held that race in
abject bondage, and the will to see them
crushed without a protest or remonstrance
so strong and ready, that the Government
is imperatively called on to carry out with
the utmost resolution and sternness of pur
pose, undeterred by pretended signs of
penitence, every measure having for its ob
ject the protection of this helpless people,
which the overthrow of a treasonable war
against human freedom throughout the
world has placed under its almost exclusive
guardianship.
In the case of C. C. Reese and John M.
Brown, of Georgia, imprisoned for the
murder of a free colored woman, the Judge
Advocate-General opposes a similar appeal
for Executive clemency.
The documents also include the records
in the case of J. L. McMullen and Neal
McGill, tried before the military Commis
sion at Wilmington, on the charge of mur
der, violation of the laws of war, &c., and
sentenced to be hanged. The {members of
the Commission, however, with one excep
tion, united in recommending them to
clemency, which paper was forwarded by
General Reiger commanding the Military
Department at North Carolina,, whose
approval accompanied the document.
The members of the Senate and House of
Commons of North Carolina, with •many
influential citizens, petition fdi Executive
clemency in. their behalf, many of the peti
tioners being ladies. The Judge Advocate-
General, after a careful study of the records,
does not see that any new views are pre
sented, and does not advise Executive
clemency in the premises.
The State Fish Convention.
HARRISBITEG t Jan. 10.—The State Fish
Convention, which met in the hall of the
House of Representatives, this afternoon,
was, without doubt, the largest Convention
of that: character that ever assembled in
Harrisburg. Credentials were 13resented
for over six hundred delegates, three hun
dred and twenty of whom were present,
representing every county bordering upon
the Susquehanna river and its principal
tributaries, which contain nearly a third of
the entire population of the State.
Hon. Simon Cameron, of Dauphin county,
presided, assisted by a vice president for
every county represented.
The Committee reported resolutions mod
erate in their language, but unmistakably
firm in their meaning; asking the ,Legisla
ture to pass a law compelling the owners of
dams in the Susquehanna and its principal
tributaries to alter them by step-way sluices,
so as to permit the free passage of shad and
other fish, and thus restore what was
formerly a leading interest in the State.
• The Convention, after, making provision
for its proceedings being published, ad
journed &ine die. ,

MANHOOD SUFERAGE IN THE DisinurZ OF
CdruiinrA.—A despatch from Washington
Says: The Republionns of the Home "of .Ite-'
presentatives held a caucus at the Capitol
to-night, Hon. Justin Morrill, of Vermont,
in the Chair, and 'Hon. Ignatius Donnelly
Secretary. The meeting was with reference;
to the subject of suffrage in the District ofd
Columbia, and continued for nearly four' hours. The bill now pending before :he;
House was dimmed at length, and various'
motions and' suggestions made concerning
it. Although no definite understanding was
arrived at it was evident' that the majority
were opnesed to the bill as reported from
the Committee on the Judiciary, which
simply proposes to strike from all laws in
force in the District of Columbia the word
"white." Several gentlemen were in favor
of passing a new form of government for
the District, Congress to possess direct con
trol of affairs, but the general sentiment
was that the qualification tor suffrage should
bear equally on both white and black, in
cluding the capacity to read and write. The
pending bill, it is probable, will be amended
in accordance with the above view.
