"CIyIL RIGHTS
RICHMOND, February 10, 1879.


SIR,-I see in your catalogue of books one or
two works l should like to obtain, but colored
men are not permitted to attend any sale at Mr..
Thomas w. Keesee's auction-house, please in
form me how can see the books desired.
Very respectfully, JoHS OLIVER.
am sorry If you are prohibited from attend
ing. If you come down at 3 to p. NJ, viii
sell you anything you want, or take yonr order
at the auction. IL. T. SHAW.
[The above correspondence has been
handed us for publication. The only i'm
portance attaching to it is the question Incl
dentally arising as to the right of purchase.
If these books are offered at public auction,
then the sale must be general and not ex-
clusive-one man having as good right
to bid as another, and the highest bidder
taking the preference of purchase. The
exclusion of any colored purchaser, who
desires to buy and demeans himself with
proper courtesy as bidder, is not what
we understand to be the cssense Of
/" civil rights" in Virginia. We are
glad to see that Mr.. Shaw takes some such
view of the matter himself. If it were a
mere pri0ate sale of books, then the owner
could sell to whom he pleased-seect Tom,
Dick or Harry for his purchaser, or refuse
to select them, as it suited his particular
whim in the premises. The fact of exelu-
sion itself may be matter of small mo-
ment, but principle is involved which
makes it vital.-ED.l

DEATH UNDER SINGULAR AND Sus-
PICIOUS CIRCuMsTANCEs.--. colored
man, named George Page, died in the city
Jail about halfpast ten O'Clock this morn
ing, under rather singular and suspicious
circumstances. Page was arrested on
Saturday by an order Of the Hastings
court, on the charge Of perjury in his testi-
mony in the case of Moses jackson, who
was few days ago sent, to the penitentiary
for forging one Woodsonss receipt for SIS
for cow. Sarah A. Jackson, wife of
Moses jackson, is now under arrest
on warrant issued from the
the police court, charged with suborning
witness-Page-to testify before the Hus-
tings court in behalf of Moses jackson.
Page was committed to Jail, and on Satur-
day signed a written statement of his own
to the effect that his testimony before the
Hastings court was false. This statement
was given in charge of the jailor, B. X.
O'Dwyer. On Sunday, woman, claim
ing to be Pages wife, applied at the Jail
with the prisoners dinner, and was ad-
mitted to his presence. Page ate the din
ner, and in about five minutes afterwards
was seized with severe vomiting and pains,
and Immediately became unconscious, in
which condition he remained until his
death, which occurred at half-past ten this
as stated. Drs. Dove and
Trent were summoned when he was
first attacked, but were wholly unable to
relieve him from his sufferings. Mr..
O'Dwyer, the jailor, promptly ordered
post mor7em examination of the body, |
under the suspicion that Page had come to
his death by foul means, which certainly |
seems probable. The examination will |
take place some time this afternoon. On
the announcement in the police court of
the death of Page, motion was made for
the final discharge of Sarah, A. jackson,
whose case had been continued until to-
morrow, but Justice White declined to ac-
cede to the motion, until after an investi-
CATION of the cause OF Pages death. The
woman claiming to be the wife of Page
sailing at the jail again this afternoon, was
placed under arrest ard locked up.

TIE Worlds correspondent at Berlin
opens his letter as follows: Prince
Won Bismarck continues to drink q
great deal OF wine, chiefly champagne.
he is still troubled with sleeplessness.
and instead OF courting the drowsy god
by retiring to bed at au es,ly hour. his
custom during his present retirement at
Varz'n is 10 pas the night in
company with a lew OF his conrdan,s
and cnmpaurons, in singing, mu-
sic, telling stories, and drinking
champagne. One Of his right
hand mrn-he has a number OF
right hand men-is an excellent
singer and player on the piano, and
when he is present Bismarck keeps
him very busy. These svmposiums sci
dom end until daylight TheS never
end until the Prince is drowsy. When
he arrives at condition in which he
'sncies that it NAV be possible to OBJ
tain a lew moments sleep, he dlsmisses
every one aud ha>teus to lie down
But too often scarcely has his head
touched the pillow ere he tinds himself
VIDE awake again, and # this occurs,
all hope of obtaining sleep until the
next day il abandoned
