DELAWARE Moons IN MicnioAN.-The Detroit
FTee Fress OF May 18th, has the report Of q case
before the Wayne Circuit Court, in which Robert
Dean and another of the same family are in
dcted and found guilty Of illegal voting. The
DelaWarean says, these Deans were former
residents of Delaware, and were known a.
''Moors," Of whom there was formerly consid-
eraole numbers in Little Creek Hundred, in this
county. 1t seems that quite q number Of these
Moors emigrated to Michigan, where, relying
on their light complexion and the slight curl OF
their hair, some of them attempted TO exercise
the elective franchise, and were subsequently
before the Court on the charge Of illegal voting.
One OF the tribe, who was summoned as a witness
ior tho prosecution, admitted that his people
had not the status Of white men in Delaware and
were not allowed to vote; but stated that his
people liVed separate from negroes, and that
they had tradition among themselves that
tney originated from white aud aborigine stock
Much interest is manifested in Michigan in
regard TO the decision Of this csse, which is to
be taken to the Supreme Court on bill Of ex-
oeption, filed because the Judge Of the Circuit
Court failed to charge the jury that II they
believed the prisoners had more white than
negro blood they were white men within the
incoming of the State Constitution. Several
witnesses from Delaware had been summoned
in this case
