JUDGES IN OPPOSITION.

Juogss Bond and Hughes, OF Virginia,
Raise an Important Question Concern.
Ing tho Constitutionality OF tho EN-
forcemcnt Acts.
RICHMOND, Nov. 80. 1874.
Quite sensation was created In legal circles
here to-day BY the announcement that there was
. division between Judge Bond, OF the United
States Circuit Court and Judge Hughes. OF the
United States District Court both OF them sitting
and hearing the cases OF the judges Of election
at the Petersburg municipal election, In
May last and also the three registrars charged
with preventing and obstrnctng from voting
divers persons citizens OF the United States, at
that election" The indictments were made
under the Enforcement act, to which the defen-
dants flied demurrer.
Upon this division OF the Court arose on the
point that the indictments do not charge that
the persons prevented from voting were so
prevented on account OF race. color or pre-
vious condition OF scrvitude." Judge Bond
holds that as the motives OF men cannot be
looked into or proved, except by their acts, 1t is
SUFFICIENT to charge that citizens OF the United
States were prevented from voting, and that the
motive OF hostility to race may be inferred from
the act OF preventing a colored voter from voting.
Judge Hughes takes the ground that, II the cleo.
tion, instead OF being for municipal of1cers had
electors OF the United States. these indictments,
for reasons which need not be set forth,
would nave been valid 10 give jurisdiction to the
Court, and would have been founded on those sec
tions OF the Enforcement acts OF Congress which
expressly relate to national elections. On the
other nand, II the indictments had charged that
the. persons prevented from voting at this
State election were persons OF saxon, Celtic, Mon
gol, African or other descent, and that the
defendants prevented from voting on account
ol race, then, being founded upon those sections
OF the Enforcement acts, which we're designed 10
enforce the ftifeentn Amendment OF the national
consti utiOn they would have given jurisdiction to
this Court because the Fifteenth Amendment ex-
pressly declares that
Tho rights Of citizens the United States vote shall
not be dcnied abridged by the United states by
state on account OF race color previous condition
OF scrvitude.
He concludes his decision with the opinion that
any law OF Congress is unconstitutional which
makes the preventing OF n voter ON voting IN q
Sta'e election penal, on any other account than
Ot "race, color or OF previous condition Of SER
vitude," and that any Indictment charging such
an offence, though founded upon sucn law or
section OF a law OF Congress, Is invalid to give
jurisdiction OF such an offence to the Court.

hearing before United States Commissioner.
Counsel. was retained py the detective agency to
conduct the prosecution.
ABRAHAM RAND's TESTIMONY
The first witness was Abraham w. Rand, stove
and range dealer. who swore that In September
last hiit came TO him and told him
his insurance company was IN trouble, and
asked him TO negotiate fifteen bonds OF
$1,000 eacn OF the Chicago ana North
western KallrOad company. He told him he
would do the best ne could, ana Mr.. Wilhelm,
HITS clerk, brought to MIN the bonds. He took
them TO D.eXel Il Co. and raised on them the
money wanted. Sixty days afterwards was
Informed Dy MIR. Drexel's house that the bonds
were fraudulent.

Drexel II Co., swOre tnat his house received the
bonds from Rand aud loaned money on

celved by the company.

Prince Bismarek's Definition Of the Alsace-Lor.
rsine Annexation Policy.

BERLIN, Nov. 30, 1874.
In the Reichstag to-day the Alsace.Lorraine
Loan bill was taken up and gave rise to . most
Interesting debate.
The Deputies from Alsace and Lorraine took
occasion In the OF the discussion to declare
that they were opposed 20 the high endowment Of
The University Of Strasbourg and to other edu-
cattonal grants for the provinces, because they
we're made IN the interest OF the Empire and not
Of the provinces themselves.
BISMARCK SPEAKS.
This called out Prince Bismarck. who replied
ss follows -
1.-THE question before us concerns imperial in.
terests. 1t Is not a question OF Alsace ana Lor-
raine The university Is for imperial purposes.
In q we'll fought war, IN which we de-
tended our existence, we conquered those
provinces for the Empire. 1t was not for Alsace
and Lorraine our soldiers shed their blood. We
take our stand upon imperial interests, Tor which,
and not ior the sake OF their own ecclesiastical In
terests we annexed those provinces. We have
other grounds for action than those people whose
past leads to Paris and whose present leads to
Rome. My own views respecting the creation OF
an Alsace and Lorraine Parliament which at nrst
we're too sanguine. have been nodded since
became acquainted with the attitude or the Depu-
ties from those provinces. Such Parliament
would lead to continual agitation, and perhaps
might endanger the peace OF the EN-.
pire. We shall doubtless be obliged to
take still more rigorous steps In re-
gard TO school matters there. We cannot
permit the existence OF elements which strive to
hinder education. My action Is guided by imperial
interests. l shall not be frightened from my
course by reproaches. threats or persuasion. Be-
lore advance IS possible we must be convinced OF
the existence OF Trustworthy elements. We may
expect better dlscernment In the rising genera
ton, and must, therefore, see that good schools
sre provided for Alsace and Lorraine"
At the conclusion OF the debate the Loan bill was
referred to Y committee.
