The Daily Dispatch: February 8, 1865., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
The Yankee papers announce, with considerable ecstasy, that J. S. Rock, a negro lawyer of Massachusetts, has been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States, on the motion of Hon. Charles Sumner. We congratulate Mr. Rock upon the recognition of his independence by the United States Supreme Court. There being no law at present in that country, he will not find the practice of his profession difficult. We advise him, however, to shun low company. An introduction by Charley Sumner is beneath the dignity of any intelligent gentleman of African descent. The Republicans of the United States must no suppose that the Confederates look with an evil eye upon the promotion of colored gentlemen to offices of distinction and honor in that country.

e subject of a bargain between the two Governments, since the right to claim it would depend upon a judicial decision not yet given. If the decision be that the raiders be given up, no doubt the money must be forthcoming. It was in the custody of a Canadian officer, of whose Government that of Washington makes a demand for the surrender of the fugitives; and if the law says that they must be given up, the money must be given up too. Miscellaneous. The Legislatures of New York, Massachusetts, Maryland and "West Virginia" have ratified the "constitutional amendment" abolishing slavery. Fifty-three Confederate officers, captured by Sherman, including General G. P. Harrison, have arrived at Washington. A lot of one hundred and ten prisoners, all said to be "Mosby's men," captured in recent attacks on the Yankee lines in the Shenandoah Valley, have arrived in Washington. The fire in Savannah is now laid at the door of some of Wheeler's cavalry, who, it is said, ha
