A CASE OF "INTfMIDATIos" THAT WASN'T
EsTABLIsHED.-One attempt to persecute
white citizens, on the plea Of violation oil
the enforcement act, has utterly failed. The
case was that of Messrs. r. B. Foster and Jnc.
Strong, who were brought from Goochland
to Richmond to appear before United
States Commissioner on the charge of ir.
terfering with the rights of colored voters.
The prosecution was instigated by the State
Senator from Goochand, William Moseley,
negro. He swore that one Milton Nicholas
had been intimidated at the last election by
the accused, and brought crowd Of colored
witnesses to sustain the charge.
Two or three days were consumed by
MIR. Commissioner Jenkins in the patient
hearing Of the cause and when the tcsti-
mony was closed, all who heard it were inn
pressed with its insufiiciency, and the evil
dence it bore of being, in the language of
the Police Courts, "put up job" The
head and front of Mr.. Fosters offending
seemed to be that he had urged Nicholas to
vote for single gentleman ON the Conser-
vative ticket; and what Mr.. Strong
did has not yet transpircd. No evil
dence was elected to show that
either force or threats had been used to
get the injured freedman to vote for either
the Conservative or the Radical ticket.
Inere was simple Suggestion tnat ne
should remember an old friend who was
running for office.
Mr. Wells represented the Government,
and Messrs. Stiles Il Christian and John
II. Guy the defendants. The case was ably
argued by these gentlemen, and the deci-
sion given yesterday.
The Commissioner held that where there
was any violation of the enforcement act
the punishment could not be too speedy
or too severe; but here, he said, there was
view. The prisoners were discharged.

tive party of Hichmond city and The county of
Henrico will be held ut the Exchange Hotel on
Monday next for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the House OF Delegates In the place

Allow me space enough to call the attention Of
the delegates to that Convention to the claims of
our popular fellow-citiZen, Col. JOHN G. SHIELDS,
OF the Richmond Wig. He Is known throughout
the broad limits Of the State i frst-class busi-
ness man, thorou hly identified with the interests
OF Richmond, acquainted with all her ~ants, per-
sonally known to every Iuember of the Lcgtsla-
turc, and popular with all parties. He could do
more for the city, l sincerely believe, than any

Shields would get many votes outside Of his own
party. He is emphatcally 1oOrkiRy man, The
people demand his nomination-thcy will make
hi elect On sure. A MECHANIC.

INSPECTION OF THE PoLIcE.-The police
were assembled in force at - O'Clock yes
terday in Old Market Hall for in
spection. They were drawn up in open
order, the sergeants and captains to
the front, and introduced by the Chief to
his Honor, Mayor Kelley, who inspected
them. After the examination they were
addressed by the Mayor and Police Justice,
who, as members Of the Board of Police
Commissioners, gave them some valuable
instructions rs to the delicate nature of their
duties, and the great responsibilities which
rested upon them as officers of the city and
conseryators of the peace. The body was
highly complimented as to its general ap-
pearance and its present efficiency. There
was one circumstance that caused their
countenances to beam more brightly than
usual. They had just been paid off, and
were consequently in a happy frame of
mind. We have no hesitancy in saying
that for good looks, efficiency, and integ-
rity, they cannot be beaten by any, other
police force in the universal world-and
that is the truth ...

LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES RENDERED ! Old
By VIOLATION OF LAVA Mr. Clulfclicc;cd
an insurance on his life in the Mutual Benc-
fit Life Insurance Company of New York,
and afterward transferred it with the
knowledge Of the company. The policy
provided that in case the insured should
die !" in the known violation of any law d"
of the United States, it should he void.
Clutf entered the army, and III the State of
Louisiana Got Il claim against one Cox, and
on meeting him III the street requested
payment. This WAS refused, and OH Cluil@ s
Proceeding to llHhitch the horses from the
wagon, Cox shot him, intlicting mortal
wound. An action was brought to re-
cover the amount of the policy from the
company. who based their defence
on the ground that at the time OF his
death Cluil was engaged il the known
violation of the law Of the state. Upon
trial the complaint was dismissed, and
thereupon an appeal WAS taken TO the SUI
premc Court, general term, which yester-
day affirmed the Judgment of the lower
court. Judge ln@raham, i'll long opinion,
holds that two questions are lnVolVed-
whether the exception in tho policy applies
to any other violation OF law than lclOnl-
Gus act. and whether Clutf's act was Il vio-
latiou of the law Of Louisiana. In the alb
sence of any proof, we are Justified ID pre-
suming the law OF Louisiana to be the same
with the law Of this State, and that what
ever would be Il violation Of law here may,
for the purposes Of this caSe, he considered
Il violation of law there. That Cuffs act
was a violation OF law there can be no
doubt. | cannot concur in those views
which limit the violation Of the laws to
criminal acts. but conStruc this exception
as intended to prevent the insured from
doing any act in violation Of law which
would naturally lead to IL conflict by which
his life would be cndansered.-Neeo York
Tribune, 3Oth
