REPLY OF JUDGE GUIGoN, OF THE
HUSTINGs COURT, TO THE PETITION
OF COLoRED CITIZENS IN RELATION
TO CoLORED JURoRs.-A respectful Pc
tition, signed by colored citizens, has been
presented to this court, requesting that for
the advancement of their race in cases
ored jury should be selected to try them.
The law requires. the court to prepare a list
of such inhabitants as it shall think well
qualified to serve as jurors, be persons of
sound judgment and free from legal ex-
ceptions. The Code of 1860, section
4, chapter 1862, page 6SS, and the
constitution of the United States and the
Bill of Rights of Virginia provide that
the accused shall be tried by an impartial
jury. have endeavored in the past, as |
shall in the future, to comply fully with
these Requirements, and l have heard of
no complaint Of the jurors selected, either Is
to their intelligence, impartiality, integrity
or fitness in any respect. If such should
come it would be my duty, as well as my
pleasure, promptly to inquire into and to
correct the injustice. If I were to comply
with the request of these petitioners,
and try colored accused by specially
selected jurors of colored men, should
do so not, because of their intelligence, inn
Partially, or integrity, nor because of
their sound Judgment, knowledge of affairs,
capacity to form for themselves a just
judgment and independence to bide by it
uninAuenced, nor because of any other
peculiar fitness, but simply because of the
race. color and previous condition of the
accused and his triers. A compliance with
this request would therefore be the adop-
ton Of a test of qualification not only not
recognized by the law, but in violation of
the spirit, at least of the fourteenth con-
stitutional amendment and the civil rights
bill. For these reasons decline to grant
the prayer Of the petition.

GOVERNOR JOHN g. BROwR TO-
WIGHT

The governor, who spoke to the PEG.
pie OF Brownsville last night (by whom
be was very enthusiastically received),
will address the people Of Memphis to-
night at the Operahouse. We need
hardly say to our readers, who know
the man 60 well, that prompted to speak
In his own defense by attacks upon
bis administration of the affairs
Of the State, almost unparalleled in
their bitterness-especially In that
most Of them are from men of our own
household Of faith-a treat Is in store
for them surprising in interest anything
this canvass or the collateral canvass
for United States senator has produced.
Governor Brown has every incentive to
an able speech, aud we know he
win make one that will not
soon be forgotten by those who shall
be so fortunate as to hear him. The
trusts reposed in him by the people
have been ably administered, and
honestly. His record is, therefore,
clear and clean; such an one as enables
him TO look his constituency fairly In
The face and appeal to them against his
traduceTs. To the Democratic party of
the State this truth, this nnAnswerAble
position Of one Of the brightest and best
OF the younger statesmen of the State,
IS something to be proud Of, some
thing 70 be cherished as part OF the Ie-
cord and history OF the party in the past
four years; and it should be borne in
mind that every effort TO tear down that
record, built and put together with in
finite labor aud pains, is an effort TO
break the party ssunder and deliver
Tennessee into the hands Of our enemies.
This is a fact that every Democrat
should keep steadily before him, and one
that should bring all who labor under the
banner Of the party to the support ofthe
governor. In any case, remembering
the exalted position he fills, bearing in
mind the dignity Of bis Office, aud with
his services in field and forum full in
view, be should be received with a gen.
erous expression Of good will from our
citizens, and be made 10 feel that as the
hour draws nigh when be will lay down
his honors and retire from the guberna-
torisl chair, his fellov-citizens, by whose
votes he was elected governor, are
strengthened in the confidence they re-
posed in him in 1859, by his conduct
during the past four wears.
