CIVIL RIGHTS CASE IN WEST VIR-
GINIA--Ex-GOvERNO JOHNSON vs..
ALFRED MEADE.


From the Wheeling Intelligencer. Rndical.l
A curious case, involving civil rights Of a
black man, is pending in the Circuit Court
of Harrison county; and is expected to come
up for trial at the next term. The facts, as
we learn them, are these:
About the expiration Of the term OF
JOSEPH JOHNSON as Governor Of Virginia,
ALFRED MEADE, a colored man, who had
saved some money as a waiter in the Rich
mond hotels, found himself able to buy him
self he being a slave. Governor JOHNSON
owned bis wife, and it was arranged that the
Governor should become the ostensible pur-
chaser, MEADE furnishing the money. This
programme was carried out through Mr..
MUHFoRD, then Secretary Of the Common
wealth, who testiies that MEADE did furnish
the money paid for him.
This arrangement was partly to facilitate
the purchase and partly to enable MEADE
10 remain in the State, and near his wife,
without disturbance, the Virginia law being
very severe on free negroes. MEADE came
to Western Virginia, and was allowed by
Ex-Governor JOHNSON to shift for himself,
TO make his own contracts, come and 60
when aud whittier he pleased, work for him
self and appropriate the rewards Of his
labor. In this he prcspered so well that he
accumulated money, which he loaned at
different times to the Ex-Governor TO an
amount over thousand dollars, receiving
notes ofhand therefor, payable with interest.
The principal and interest now amounts to
between eleven hundred and twelve hundred
dollars.
The case stood thus when Ex-Governor
JOHNSON lefi his home in Harrison county
10 engage in the rebellion. When he re-
turned he found the relations between him
self and Mr.. MEADE somewhat altered, the
latter having the same status before the law
as himself Mr.. MEADE applied for pay
ment Of the notes. Mr.. JOHNSON refused,
and Mr.. MEADE has brought suit TO enforce
payment.
Mr.. JOHNSON claims that MEADE was his
slave at the time the transaction took place,
and that MEADE's money was his money
that in borrowing Of MEADE he was only
borrowing Of himself, and that therefore he
does not owe anybody else. He also claims
that MEADE was giving him this money for
The purchase Of (MEADE's) wife, and that
when enough had been paid over she was TO
have her freedom.
Mr.. MEADE claims that he was free
man. and that JOHNSON admitted the fact,
and that the admission can be proven. Ii Is
certainly true that JoHEsoN's claim 10 the
money, because il was for the purchase of
tie wofhanis freedom, has no force even in
law, because his part Of that contract, If II
ever existed, never was performed. lie did
not give her her freedom. That was given
her by public law.

ADVENTURES or a THOUSAND DOL
LAR NOTE.
Rrnm ihn nnltimorn Sun

From the Baltimore SUM-
Frequent mention has been made in the
proceedings Of the City Councils, at this and
preceding sessions, Of a 81 600 bank note
which was In possession of Mr.. JOSIAH
Conn and which he felt desirious to have
disposed Of so that he might be relieved Of
All care in reference TO t. Its history is a
little curious. In the year 1888, il appears,
Mr.. Conn was called on by lad TO change
n $40 note. Upon looking al il lac discoy-
cred il was a genuine 81, GOO bill, and he
was curious 10 know something more about
II So great n mistake in the denomination
of n note was not ordinarily made. He re-
tanned Il for inquiry, and then ascertained
that il had been offered 10 a lady who con-
,lncted the millinery business, by negro
woman, in pay for some articles. That
somebody was the loser 90 that amount
seemed almost certain. Mr.. Conn, under the
circumstances, felt himself justifable in re-
tairing the note, so as TO find the owner.
He advertised Il at various times for some
four wears. and never had a call for it. Tired
Of being is custodian, in February, 1912, he
deposited it in the City Treasury, with
$50 40 interest, In trust Cor the benefit Of the
owner. IL he should ever be found. Efforts
have been made, at one time or another, by
parties in the way Of administration, or as
descendants Of the colored woman, long
since deceased, to get possession Of IL but
without effect. Since the time Of deposit
With the city the 81 ESQ 40 have been laying
in the City Treasury, drawing interest and
al this time the sum amounts TO near $1,000.
This. by the action Of the City Council
within a day or two past il has been de-
termined shall be appropriated to the use
the Union Orphan Asylum. Thus the mys-
terious note is finally disposed Of In addi-
ton 20 the singularity Of the fact that Mr..
Conn never found legal claimant for the
note, Notwithstanding the repeated adyer-
tisements, il seems that thr colored woman,
who presented Il to pay bill, never even
appeared to make claim for IT,

From the NY. Expfess.l

From the n. Y. Expfess.l
Our foreign relations are no sooner out Of
one broil than they are into another. The
revolt in the little island Of Gambia, which,
at the start, was a cloud no bigger than
mans hand, is beginning to overshadow the
entire horizon. The question substantially
involved affects ultimately the destiny Of
Turkey, and must decide who shall have
control Of the Bosphorus. To Russia the
Issue is one Of momentous importance, and
II il be decided in her favor her ambition to
become great naval power, so as TO domi-
nate the Mediterranean, will be in fair
way to be gratihed. As England and France
not long ago went TO war TO prevent that
contamination, however, it remains 20 be
seen whether they are now going to eomtem-
plate with complaceney a series Of events,
originating in a very small beginning, which
NAV give the Gar an advantage which both
Of them recently spent so much blood and
treasure 10 deprive him Of The leading
British organ, meanwhile, is uneasy, and
fearful Of much future trouble. IL says:
"There is bat liale doubt as 10 he days Of
The TURKISH Empire IN Europe being num-
bened; but Il is not quite clear as yet how
the gap left BY the expulsion Of the Moslem
is 20 be filled up. It is not King GEORGE,
nor any man at the head Of the Greek ma
ton, who will be readily trusted with the
guardianship Of the Straits. There are none
Of the Popers Of Europe prepared to face that
terrible Eastern question at thc present moment
Il is very questionable whether they will
ever attempt to make ready for it. It is
sure TO break upon them Of sudden. How
ever long looked forward to, il will always
take the world by surprise. The fact il, the
settlement Of that question involves a grave
general European catastrophe. The ques
ten admits Of no pacific or diplomatic solu-
ton. It will have TO be referred to the ulti-
ma ratio. Can il be matter of wonder if
statesmen show the utmost anxiety to ward
of the evil moment? Sufficient for the
day IL the evil thereof they say. The
deluge is sure to come-and LET it; only not
in our time"
While the "sick man" thus looms up in the
East, again, we hear the revival Of political
anxieties that is the phrase in old Spain
the upshot Of which we are admOnished,
may be the overthrow Of the existing Gov
eminent. Truly, the Peace Society, wheth-
er we look abroad or at home, has but poor
prospect before it. 1t is enough to make it
adjourn sine de, and despair even Of the
millennium
