RICH MOND,
Interesting Proceedings In the United
states District Court


RICHMOND, Nov. 6.-Iu the United
States District Court, Judge Underwood
presiding, in the habeas corpus case of
Cesar Griffin, convicted in Judge Shreff-
rey's late court, of shooting white man,
and sentenced to the Penitentiary, the
prisoners counsel pleaded the illegality of
Griffin's conviction, on the ground that
Judge Shreffey was ineligible under the
l4th amendment, sud was therefore no
Judge at all. Judge Underwood gave his
opinion, sustaining the ground taken by
the petitioner, and discharged the prisoner.
The counsel for the respondent appealed
from the District Judge in chambers to the
Circuit Court. The prisoner will be bailed
to appear before the Circuit Court. Chief
Justice Chase will be on the bench to dis
pose Of the decisions, both criminal and
civil, that have been made in Virginia
since the war.

TREMENDOUS SALE OF MINERAL

Fen Million Dollars Invested.
We clip the following from the Krox-
vile Press and Herald Of Saturday las,
For some months past, as our readers
will remember, our columns have contained
the advertisement Of Capt. Moses w. Mel
sons valuable mineral lands in Carter and
johnson counties, for sale. The CAPTAIN
has persistently refused, all the while. to
sell any part of his lands unless the
purchaser would take the whole. IA this
required too large a sum of money for any
one in this part Of the country, the lands
have been sometime in the market. We
are glad TO learn that the Captain has at
length, through the agency of his aiior-
ney, Gen. Ramsay, of this city, succeeded
In disPosing of his entire possessions for
the handsome sum Of ten millions Of dol
lars! We understand the purchaser il \

capitalists, Who may probably soon enter

his practice Of medicine he found his
calls upon family reduced in proper
ton as they came into the daily use OF
good ripe fruits, from strawberries on
ward; and it was with this practical
knowledge gained from an extensive
and daily ride over the Western rich
prairie lands that he came III all his at
ter essays, addresses, and writings to
continuously and urgently advocate the
use OF ripe fruits as daily food
| Charles Downing, whose life held up
on threads thirty years ago, and whose
acquaintance al that time doubted his
living from ye, ta year, attributed
his years OF con#1s activitya and use

and steady use Of ripe fruits. Prof j.

nearly half century, says the habitu
al use of we'll ripenea fruits always as
