Virginia for Virgioiaus' is the Couser-
vative cry, in the f4ee Of the fact that twelve
millions Of private foreign capital have been
put into the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
and much of it expended among our people.
Every man who subscribed, too, is north-
ern republican, Virginia for Virginians,"
when foreign capital Is nov building the Val
ley Railroad the Lynchburg 4 Danvlle road
aud every other public improvement in Vir
GINA of any Importance Where would Viz
glnia be now had she depended upon the
capital and cnereies of Virgiuians? IF the
spirit Of proscriptiye intolerance which char
acterizes the leaders Of the Conservative
party is to be the policy Of Virginia, we may
expect much of the capital already invested
here to be taken away that looking this way
to be kept back, and the labor element of the
State to be driven from our territory. Then
the people may groan and groan under the
burthen Of their taxes, and the only escape
will be to leave the Commonwealth.

Nineteen-t of the colored voters
are laborers It is sought to prescribe them.
! Who does this !? The owners Of the capital
of the State Wherefore and to what end
Simply because they do not, in their juag-
ment, think proper to vote as these capital
lists direct. This is the plain question, re-
duced to practical results. Who will deny
it? Would this hue and cry ever have been
raised bat in consequence Of the almost unan .
imous support.by the colored voters Of the Re
publican ticket. No one will question this.
Then say to the laboring men OF the State
look to your interests. Don't misplace your
confidence. Support not the hand which
seeks to strike down powerful division OF
the laboring men of the State. Capital feeds
labor, and labor supports and reproduces
capital. To prescribe ninety thousand labor
ers, because they seek to exercise, modestly,
their accredited right Of suffrage, is blow
at labor itself
I charge, with distinctness and empha-
sis, that this canvass, as it is inaugurated and
proposed to be carried on, is deliberate eff
ort on the part of the Democratic Conserva-
tive party to renew the strifes, re-animate
the feuds, renstato the hostilities Of the past
against the federal government. Their tick

Rev. l.. A. Grimes.

This gentleman died in Boston on the 18th
instant. He was known everywhere as one
Of our most in iuentlal Baptist ministers.
Escaping from this city more than thirty
years ago, where lac had been confined in Jail
for assisting slaves TO escape, he went to
Boston, and after going through all the hard
ships incident TO colorsd men in those days,
lac founded the Twelfth Baptist church in
that city. BY his interchangeable industry and
Christian devotion he not only raised large
congregation, but built and paid for beautl-
iul church edifice wherein worship most Of
the intelligent and well-to-do colored people
there.
Mr.. Grimes was an ardent anii-slavery man
in the days of escaping fugitives from bond.
age, and was not only largely instrumental
N raising funds TO aid their flight but fire.
quentiy gave them food aud shelter under his
own roof without money and without price.
Ar. Grimes was not great preacher, but
he was most excellent and successful pas.
tor. He was ripe-rninded and mellow.
hearted Christian, aud friend to the com.
mon people. He will lie long missed in the
church which has been bertaved Of him.

A Dinicuit Question.

When the fifteenth amendment To- the Com
stitution was adopted it was supposed that
an equality OF rights, privileges, and fran
chlse had been established among the citI-
zens OF all the States, without distinction OF
race, color, or previous condition. The right
to be summoned as n Juror is certainly com
pretended in the general provision. Of the
llrst section OF the fourteenth amendment.
lhere Is, however, an act Of Congress,
passed in 1910, which comes in direct con,
1lct with the fourteenth amendment in thi,
regard, and limits the selection of Jurors nm.
der the laws of the State in which the court
happens to be sitting. We think that tho
Constitution IL paramount TO the statute,
put We are not aware that there ever ha,
been any judicial decision upon the question.
The matter has been submitted to the At
torney General at different times, and we be-
lleve that he has always instructed the United
States Sarshas to summons only such per.
sons as would be competent jurors in the
State courts. The effect of this construction
OF the law has been To deprive the colorcd
citizens Of Maryland of the right to sit on
juries even in the United States Courts. Our
jury law provides that only rh,te male citi-
zens shall be summoned a. Jurors, aud under
the act OF Congress to which we have refer
red, the same restriction IS enforced in tho
District and other courts
| Precisely the same abridgmcnt Of fright,
and privileges" obtains in Georgia. Tho
State law excludes colOred men from tho
| jury-box in the State courts, and under the
| construction OF the act Of 1870, which is fol-
lowed in Maryland, they have not been sum
nioned as jurors in the United States courts.
Recently, however, rule was adopted in
the United States Circuit Court which per
mlts the empanellng os jurcs without respect
to color. The Marshal having acted in com
pliance with the rule, what is called a linked
| jury must be summoned. When the case
| OF the United States W. Gardner was called
tbs counsel for the defendant challenged the
array OF jurors, aud tharc"pgn the whole
question was argued. Tho decision Of tho
court upon this motion viii probably settle
the law VI the care. Singular enough, Col
Akernan, who, while Atty?ucy General Of
tho United States, instructed the Marshall
not to summon colOred Jurors. made An able
and elaborate argument 10 show that tho
rule Of court which permitted TIL, ''mixcI
jury" 10 be summoned WAS in COn.yru!tyw!th
law, and that tho act Of July. 1870. I'D not
apply. Judge Erskinc is holding the que.
ton under consideration Nut. imcr,can.

An I0iernaI Machine.

An unsuccessful attempt at murder by
means OF an Internal machine wa. recently
made IN Hartford, Connecticut. a neatly.
covered box was received at the depot, 10
that city, on Thursday, directed 10 Hiram
Allen, Esq. The expressman took il % the
residence Of Mr.. Allen Oh the following day.
and that gentleman, thinking the box might
contain samples OF tobacco or grain, Ia which
he deals largely, sent % him by some one
who wanted 10 sell, received il and began 70
pull OFF the lid, which was sliding one.
While endeayOring 10 do so his suspicious
were aroused BY grating sound and the
sight Of a row Of matches set upon end lie
took a knife and split the cover. and was
thus enabled 70 get il Off without trouble.
He then found at each end Of the box rows of
matches fastened on their end, the phosphor-
Gus part uppermost. On the lid Of the box
pieces OF sandpaper were fastened, and they
were 40 arranged that had the lid deem drawn
of quickly, the matches would have ignited.
Across the centre Of the box another row Of
matches were arranged. They were cut In
two, and on the lid similar row was placed,
with cloth 80 arranged that when the lid
was pulled OF the two rows would come to-
getber, and the conclusion would Ignite them.
About two pounds Of powder were found In
the two apartments, and IL was evidently the

wound, II not kill, the person to whom IL was

tor Of the deed, though suspicion 10 said 20 be

Z hGUch Establishment.

II may be q matter Of more than passing
interest 10 the colored citizens of the Dis
trict-especially to our Episcopalian read
ers-to learn that the Rev. W. ii. Joscphus
Of Philadelphia, has, Of three calls recently
extended TO him, accepted the call to cstab.
iish congregation in Washington; that he
will soon arrive upon the field and enter upon
his spiritual labors.
We also understand that this much-needed
enterprise is not only well backed by the
Assistant Bishop and the clergy of the Dis.
trict, but that all the necessary prelminaries
are arranged. A suitable location is to be
Immediately selected. and first-class church
cdilice erected.
Unless We arc mistaken, the Rev. Mr..
Joserhus VIII not be wholly stranger in his
new field. While merely divinity student
lac spent vacation here, actively engaged
in missionary work and, outside of the circle
of lis acquaintance here, he may favorabl,
be known from his occasional political con
,ributions to these columns.
We, therefore, have no doubt but that TIT
Episcopalians, who are neither fewest il
number, nor least in responsibility, anon!
our people here, will evince, in this import
ant effort, zeal equal to that manifested ii
their favor by the clergy; and, thus inspir
tied, will cooperate with the pastor-elect il
such a manner as to encourage him in hi
labors. And this, VIC believe, is all that vii
be required Of them at the start.
