THE Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise
says that during the past ten years not less
than two hundred murders have been com
mitted in Storey county, in that State, and
for these only two of the guilty men have
been hanged, one under authority of the
law, and the other, Arthur Perkins HeHer''
ner, few days ago by vigilance COM
mittee. The murder committed by Heffer-
ner, it says, was deliberate, cold -blooded
and unprovoked assassination. With
scarcely an exchange of word, he shot
down an uaarmed man who was stranger
to him. The community, accustomed as
it had been to deeds of blood, was Mortified
at the atrocity yet it was not until the
confession of Willis, now confined in the
county Jail on charge of arson, had
shown him to be the leader of gang Of
incendiaries, as well as murderer, that
the substantial citizens and taxpayers Of
the city resolved to make an example Of
him. Through the arson OF these iends,
property to the value of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars has been destroyed
during the past twelve months, and nc
less than four lives have been lost by the
fires kindled by them.

for William Miller, clerk cf Goochland county.
Upon the documentary and other evidence
submitted, Colonel S. moved the discharge of
the prisoner on the ground that the conduct of
the court in quasbing the panel because
colored men tOere on the jnry, was in viola
ton of the constitution of Virginia, and the
constitution of the United States.
Never was the rights of the colored citizens
more nobly defended than by Col. Shields, and
never was more righteous decision rendered
than when Judge Underwood discharged Jas.
Shelton from custody because of the open,
wilful and deliberate violation of the laws, BY
those who have so persistenty sought to defeat
the plain provisions of their own constitution,
made as it is, on hiehe grounds than most con-
sttutions, for this one has the additional dig
nifty of being solemn compact with the Con-
gress the United States the gist of which is the
rights granted therein to the colored man, but
which compact, as we'll as law, is and has been
dedantly time and again broken by the very
hands that made it, in the manner com planned
of in this proceeding, or ways akin to it.
We trust there will be no more opposition to
colored men exercising and enjoying their full
share of the rights promised in the "great
compromise"- the constitution of Virginia.
