The young and talented oolOred orator, Prof
j. Y. NJ. Glnlard, lectured last night In the FIJI
teenth-street Presbyterian church, (cOlOred) 10
an apprcclatiye audience, composed principally
~ our most prominent oOlOred oitHens. The lec-
tureT took for his subject the future NJ his race,
and began by reclting an original poem. After
which he reviewed the origin Of the c0lored
man, claiming that his people were mingled
and mixed people; and, further, that the term
African, as applied To them In this land, was
vague and untrue. The speaker then turned his
attention to the charge that the colOred men
could not he educated TO prominence; but, on
the other hand, proved that they have developed
aud are holding some Of the most prominent pO-
altiOns IN the land. Prof Gilliard continued In
this strain for some length, and clearly demon
strated that the feeble charges made against the
race were from prclullces and without any
ground whatever. The lecturer was frequently
interrupted with applause, and upon hia close
his audience retired satisfied and pr0nOuncing
hin an able lecturer.

I shall he parlOned, trust, by an Impartial
and generous public, for taking some brief notice
Of the comments male by the Star In reference
to an important case, In which appeared a. the
senior counsel. On the nrst trial the defendant
Evening Stan pleaded not guilty, and Upon this
issue the Jury rendered verdict for the plaintiff,
and assessed his damages at q, OOO On the second
trial the defendant pleaded specially accord
and satisfaction, and under this plea gave EVIL
dence to the eject that they hal published an
apology, which was accepted by the plaintiff, and
the Jury rendered a verdict for the defendant
The peadinRs and the evidence on the inst trial
differed from those on the second trial. when the
defendant pleaded not guilty, or denied the
charge, he Was convicted; hut when he pleaded
accord and satisfaction, and gave evidence Of an
apology, which he testified the plaintiff accepted,
he was excused. It Ia true that on the hrat trial
the defendant endeavOred to prove accord and
satisfaction, hut failed In the Judgment OF the
Jury. Testimony rejected by Judge Macarthur
on the inst trial was admitted by Judge Cartier
on the second tri,l. From this brief statement
II will he seen that there was no necessity nor
excuse for the slightest mputaticn upon the In
telligence and integrity OF either Jury or the con
duct Of counsel
