NOT EMPOWERED TO TAKE NEGRO Evil
DRNCE-Iesterday morning case came be-
fore Mayor Saunders, in which s man, named
Joseph Brown, was charged with assaulting a
negro woman. When the parties were called,
il appeared that the only witnesses against the
accused were negroes, whereupon his Honor
announced that the law under which he al
present acted did not empower him 70 take the
evidence of negro against white man, and
he could. therefore, take no cognIzance OF the
transaction. He stated that if proper testimony
were adduced 10 show that any white person
had committed an assault on a negro, the
charter under which he acted would require
