Visible Adtnfxtnrc In Michigan.
fFsrom the Cincinnati Comueec1,l.f

An interesting case will be argued before
the Supreme Court of Michigan during its
present term, Involving the right of PERSONS
With visible admixture Of African blood to
vote, under the qualifications of the State
Constitution. Tie facts briefly are that, at
the april election In 1866, for township 0i1l-
GERS and Regents Of the Michigan unlser-
saty, one William Dean. resident Of Rom
ulus, Wayne County, offered to vote, and
upon being challenged took the prescribed
cath, setting forth that he WIS qualified as
IN e1ector, md was Of Indian descent. His
vote was accepted, but; shortly after the elec-
tion, he was indicted Tor illegal voting,
tried, and found guilty in the Circuit Couri
Tor the County Of Wayne At this trial Dr..
Zena Pitcher, = physician and surgeon OF
:orty.thrce years stundiDE, WIS called to
The stand as an expert in the discovery OF
African blood very much diluted, It was
his opin,un that the defendant was oue-stx-
lion IN Ills casc was peculiarly about the
Gaz1ilaEts OF the nose. In all other respects,

-ure. Otherwise, Dean was = white man to
all intents and purposes: 1t was settled, how
ever, By the evidence Of Dr.. Pitcher, that one.
sixteenth OF Dean had no right to yute. upon
his the detendaut's counsel asked the court
% charge the jury that II they found there was
less than onahalf negro blood. he was white
person, y thin the meaning Of the Constitution
aud qualified elector. He also asked the court
to charge that If the defendant had not to
exceed 0ne-sixtesnth negro blood, he was 4
wf,lse person, &C. The court refused to do
(his. On the contrary the Judge charged
the jury that, although the defendant might
possess all the other qualifications oi an cleo.
ior, yet II they Ieliered, from the evidence,
that lie had a portion Of negro or african
blood equal to oue-sixteenth, Us testified to
BY Or. Pitcher, be was not white man and u
legal e1ect0r, within the meaning of the State
Constitution, and mas not entitled to vote.
And II he knowingly and wl1lfully voted at
ihe election, knowing that he was not q white
man, he should be convicted. The jury,
.lndtr such Instruction, had no alter
uatiYe. After conviction, however, Dean's
counsel filed a bill OF exception, upon which
The case has been carried to The Supreme
court and considerable curiosity Is ielt to
know how much negro Llood, In the oploion
Of that tribunal, Is necessary to disfranchistfA h

lion to ncgru suffrage ls Is strong a. in Mich
