The acutcneSs Of some lawyers is astonishing.
One in Nevada had rs client, Il man accused
of murders the principal person who could teS-

to the prisoner barred her testimony. So the
lawyer got the trial postponed, applied for a
divorce in behalf Of the wife, secured it, and
then triumphan,y placed her on the witness
stand and secured the acquittal Of her husband.

,EEaE NATHAN MURDER.


The so-calied confession of John T.
Irving in relation to the Nathan muir
der has been published, but contains
nothing that is not already known. He
declares that he himself, one Caleb
Gunnion, Daniel Kelly and a man by
the lame of McNally were concerned
IN it. He says that he lay quiet in the
cellar, and that Kelly was the actual
murderer. He revives the old story
OF the bloody shirt that was washed at
some time or other by some one I'M
known, and says that the cd og'' was
obtained from one "Nick" Jones. Ca
leb Gunnion is under arrest at the
police headquarters, and had long
interview with Superintendent Matsell
yesterday, the result of which is not
known. He was then locked up in a
cell recently vacated by Irving. An
other prisoner, whose name is withheld
by the police, but who is supposed to
be either Kelly or McNally, is also
locked up at the police headquarters
Irwin, as We announced Yesterday, will
be tried for burglary unless his story is
speedily proven true.-Ncw Iurk

CIVIL RIGHTS.

The cOlOred men propose to hold 6
| National Convention in Washington
City, on the 9th instant. TO this end
county and Sta e Conventions are be.
ing held throughout the South, II,
least, to appoint delegates. In many
of these meetings the most intemper.
ate speeches are made and resolutions
adopted, and if the action of the Ma.
tional Convention is foreshadowed by
those speeches and resolutions, then
will the movement prove most injuri.
Gus to the race, to promote whose vel.
fare it is proposed to be held.
While Langston, probably the most
intelligent, certainly the most discreet,
colored leader in this country, is op-
posed to further legislation, holding
that the law now sufficiently protects
the colored race in unnecessary rights,
and believes that agitation will only
bring evil to the people it is expected
to benefit, still those negroes in this
section, who aspire to leadership and to
Office, seem to think that the agitation
of "civil rights is the surest stepping
stone to promotion.
A thick-headed negro from Craven,
desiring to outstrip a dozen other
colored aspirants for Congressional
honors, has already introduced a
"Civil Rights" bill in the Legislature,
of which he is member. He knows,
of course, that there is no chance to
pass it, and the discussion will be
hurtful to his people, but he regards
it as a popular move, and hopes thus
to win their support.
Mr.. Sumner, following hard upon
the opening prayer in the United
States Senate, offers his conventional
Civil Rights Bill and attempts to pass
it without reference to committee.
Objection being made, it goes over.
Thus the leaders of the colored
people, white and black, seemingly are
determined to agitate this subject
until all social barriers between the
races shall be broken down and
churches, hotels, theatres and other
places of religious, intellectual and
social gatherings shall be free to all,
without regard to "color, race or pre-
vious condition"
On the other hand, an election las
just been held in Virginia in which
color was the chief line of demarka-
ton between the parties-an issue
forced upon the triumphant whites
by the action of the negroes and their
white allies. Virginia has
declared by an overwhelming vote that
the negroes have shown by their brief
political history that they are not only
unfit to govern the State themselves,
but incompetent to select the proper
white men to do SO.
Georgia had already made the same |
declaration. These two States are un-
Ter the control and management of |
heir own sons, elected by the intelli- |
gent tax-paying voters.
These National Conventions, these
lnwise leaders, these incorporate
peeches and resolutions, and the
growing restiveness of the colored
,eople to seek instruction and amuse-
nent in their own proper sphere and
p their own proper circles, will cause
Their States to follow the example of
}eorgia snd Virginia, and unite upon
he basis of color. and end, 80 far rs

DECISION RENDERED In THE SPECIAL
TAX SUIT.
The Bonds Declared to be Constitutional.
The Injunction not Granted.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

RALEIGH, n. c., Dec. ., 1S73.-The
United States Circuit Court decides,
without giving their reasons a; pres
ent, that the Special Tax Bonds are cor
stitutional, and that the act directing
the diversion of the fund collected for
payment of interest is unconsti-
tutional.
The injunction restraining the
Treasurer from paying out any funds
until the interest fund is repaid is not
granted, inasmuch as there is nothing
done on the part of the defendant
which induces the Court to believe
that the plaintiff will suffer damage
before the final hearing.

the private stockholders should have
all the States interest in the Road
upon the completion of the Road, the
Road not to be considered completed
until passenger trains run from Fay
to Greensboro. The States
interest amounted to the nominal sum
of about $500, 900, but from his best in
the real interest was not
worth more than $50, 900. That if the
private stockholders failed to file the
bond conditional by the time limited,
then any corporation, under the law of
his State, might do the same. That
here was nothing concealed or covered
