WASHINGTON, March 50.-The trial of
Capt. Hardwick, Chief Of Police of Lynch
burg, for violation of the enforcement act,
has lust been concluded before the United
States Court in that city, Judge Rives pre-
siding. The ofIense consisted in forming
two lines at the polls at the last election,
one for white aud one for colored. and
forcing the latter to keep In their own line.
The defendant claimed that this system
of two lines was instituted by federal Of
ficer in that city, and its working has been
entirely acceptable to all parties--so much
so, that it was followed at the recent Presi-
dental election at all precincts. The
judge charged the jury thai the act OF Capt.
Hardwick was illegal, and riot and blood
shed had better ensue than that distinc-
ton should be made between the two
races. On Wednesday the jury reporte l
that they were unable to agres on YER
dict, and were discharged, the colored
members Of the jury being for conviction

Ar Alabama Judge I'm TPOuble.
Judge Busted, of Alabama, has arrived
| in town, and, as usual, il il great trouble.
Congress at the last session passed law
| that no United States District Judge in Ala
| bafna should hold Circuit Court. The act
| is supposed to have been aimed at Busteed,
and the supposition was it would simply
throw the duty of holding the Circuit
! Court oe the United States into the hands
| oftbe Circuit Court, but the northern and
central districts of Alabama have never
been assigned to any circuit, and, as q
consequence, it is now impossible to hold a
| Circuit Court in either of these districts.
To make matters worse for Judge Busteed's
territory, the jurisdiction of his District
! Court is very limited. He is seeking sd-
vice and help from the Attorney-Generafs
Office.
The Kansas SenatOrship.
Gov. Osborne, of Kansas, expects TO leave
for home this week. When he first arrived
and was made acquainted with Caldwell's
purpose to resign, it was his intention 10
appoint his successor at oIce. Now he
finds the question SO complicated that his
return to Kansas is necessary before be
acts. The matter is still further complicat-
ed by the fact that he is himself candidate.
There is much pressure to induce him to
convene the Legislature, and elect a man at
once for the unexpired term, rather than
make an appointment holding only till the
January session of the Legislature.
