Within the last few days the Court has de.
cided another case, illustrating, in marked
manner, the principle laid down in Bayly
ps. Poipdexter. Mrs. Judge Coslter, Of
fredericksburg, gave her slaves, 10 substance
an election between freedom and slavery
The question arose upon the will whether
she intended to give them an absolute emaD-
cipstion, OK Q mere choice Of being free or
not. Il Was very generally, if not universal
ly regarded by the profession as amOu uniting
to an absolute and complete emancipation
The slaves were decided BY the lower Court
to be free. An appeal, however, was advis-
ed, we understand, by MIR. John Howard,
and the case was brought TO the Court OF
Appeals---elaborately argued by counsel,
Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Patton for the parties
claiming the slaves and Mr.. Little and Mr..
Morson for the executors. The Court deiiv-
cred their decision, reviewing and confirm.
ing the doctrine decided by the case Of Bayly
and Poiudexter-.bat the slave bias 10 Nir-
ginis no civil rights or legal capacity what
ever: and. consequently. no power to make
Al election between freedom and slavery
Mrs. Coslter's will, the Court decided, did
not absolutely emaneipate. but merely gave
the slaves an election-thus the will was
void. and the slaves remained in slavery

no bloodshed. the Mayor having resigned the
municipal authority into the hands OF the
Committee. The old police have been dis
banded, and special police of one thousand
men have been appointed by the Vigilance
Committee. What will be the next move
