Correspondence of the Louisville Courier.

FRANKFORT, NY, May ., 1900.
Editors Louisville Courier:
Yesterday morning a gentleman residing
in this city, Major A. j Harrington, late Of
the U. S. Volunteer service, employed a
negro boy about sixteen years old, named
Charles, formerly a slave belonging to Mrs.
Weleh, to work in hts garden. The gen
tleman had very interesting little daugh-
ter, between six and seven years old, upon
whom the negro attempted to commit a
rape. Her screams brought her mother into
the garden, and the negro attempted to
make his escspe, but was captured and
lodged in JAIL Last night, between nine
and ten o'clock, a large number of the citi-
zens-between three and four hundred
went to the Jail, took the negro boy out and
hung him.
Just before he was launched into eternity
he confessed hIs guilt.
We want your readers TO distinctly I'M
derstand that this toas no mob there was mo
noise and confusion" and every thing was
done decenlly and in order" 1t was a
quiet uprising of the citizens, who are deter
mined TO put a stop to such outrages, the
Freedme7l's Bureau, CjUl Rights biH, etc.,
etc to the contrary notwithstanding.
We are glad TO announce that the little
girl sustained no injury.

The Times must not be too ssnguine

The breadth planted has been much
less than was anticipated, and has been

seed and the impossibility of replacing
them with good. And then there il
one source of apprehension which

Chief Justice Chase and the Trial o
Jeff Davis.


JEFF Davis.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing version of the interview between
the President and Mr.. Chase:
It was stated in this correspondence, come
davs ago. that Chief Justice Chase had ex
pressly said he cJuld not hold Court in Nir-
rinia while the state was under martial
Iaw. L. NAV now be added that he had an
interview with the President on Saturday
evening last, during which he urged upon
the Executive the propriety of removing the
suspension of the privileges of the writ OF
habeas corpus, and o. Withdrawing martial
law at leRssin Virginia, 50 far as relates to
cases in which the Courts Of the United
States haye jurisdiction. His object in
making this recommendation IL, OF course,
70 have the Court IN such condition that
il can. consistently with its own dignity snd
indepeudence, proceed with the trials for
treason and other crime. The recent pro
,aadinpa az New Orleans made tie Chief
Justice particularly unwilling 10 enter upon
trials for treason wlere the seton OF ms
Court might be interrupted by the military
authorities. The orders in that case, as
we'll as other rec Mt orders, clearly enough
demon hLTale LHub INC ptdtb BAotAtti4lotiDt
does not remove martial law, and the CHIEF
Justice desires the assurance Of a Presiden-
tial order or proclamation 10 the effect that
the Court will not be interfered with by the
military in case proceedings in the treason
cases are begun.
What the President will do in the matter
is not vet known, but there are hints that
he will soon issue a dec .aratiOn 20 the pur-
port that mart al law is abrogated Ia all
matters whereof the civil courts have juris-
diction.
The spring term Of the Virginia Circuit
Court has OF ened at Norfolk, Judge Under
wood presiding, ant it is expected that the
Grand Jury viii bring in true bdl for trea-
son against JEFF. Davis. Prior to the rebel
lion this Court was held at Richmond, as
being more central and convenient point,
and the House passed bill to day allowing
it TO be returned TO that city. Whether
Judge Underwood viii take any steps in the
Davis business is not known. Mr.. Chase
will probably visit Norfolk, end attend the
Court next week. So much interest attaches
to the question of treason trials in Nirgi ola,
that il may be mentioned in this connection
that the House Judiciary Committee has
under consideration a bill dawn by Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, quite materially regu-
lating the qualification and selection of Ju-
rors Tor such trials, hich Is is believed they
Will agree to report in some fprm.

Restriction of the Appointing Power

Restriction Of the Appointing Power.
The United States Senate recently
put a rider on the Postal Appropriation
Bill prohibiting any officer, appointed
10 Eli vacancy caused by removal of the
previous incumbent by the President,
during the recess Of the Senate, from re-
ceiving any salary until confirmed by the
Senate. On Monday last a motion to re-
consider was taken up and co1sidera-
bic discussion ensued, occupying the
greater portion Of the day. Dir. Trum-
bull, '1e author Of the rider, opposed
the motion, and was sustained by Mr.
Howe. Messrs. sherman, Stewart, John
son, Med ougsl and Salisbury, took the
opposite side. The motion TO recon

the amendment will be defeated

During the past year a majority of our
voters rejected the constitutional amend

been denied it, because of their color, since
the year 1918. Though you have the ex-
elusive right to take action upon tuch
amendments, permit me to express hope
that within a reasonable time the question
may be again submitted II the denial be
an injustice, a right decision is more imPOr
tant 10 US than 10 the colOred men. They
are few among US, but our example has in
luence elsewhere, aud sound moral and pO-
litical philosophy teach that no considerable
class or race can be excluded from q share

The qualifications of intelligence and NOR
atty prescribed by our fundamental law
are universally approved among us, and
sincerely hope Inat we may soon yield
cheerfuily to the irresistible drift of liberal
principles, and, requiring those qualihca-
lions alone, frankly recognize the rights OF
all men.

CowardIy Atlempt at Assassination.


Last night, about half past ten
o'clock, one Of the most brutal and
cowardly attempts at assassination was
made that ever developed itself IN any
civilized community. While Col. Hart,
the senior editor of the Daily CONNER
cial, vas sitting at his desk writing,
two shots were fred at him from the
opposite side of the street, the balls
lodging in the wall just above his head.
The assassins, three in number (dis-
covered by the police in few moments
afterwards, as they were making off,
attempted to murder Colonel Hart from
position under the shed of the Ad-
ans Block Fortunately, the deadly
missiEes missed their aim. Why this
attempt was made no one can imagine,
for there is not more thorough gen
tleman or more pesceable citizen in
the rounds of the United States than
Colonel Hart, whose life was thus base
/ ly sought to be taken.-MeHphis Ava-
