enforcement act exclusively to cases In which
citizen has been denied the right to vote on &C
count Of race, color or previous condition of
servitude, or conspiracy has been formed TO
deprive citizen ct such right ON account OF

be remembered that the counsel tor the prison

fatally defective, and Judge Bradley granted
the motion. All of the counts of the indicr-
ment which charge any other crime than a

voting were ruled out, and the counts in which
such conspiracy is charged do not state that il
was because OF the race, color or previous con-
dition OF ssrvtude of these citizens that the said
conspiracy was entered into. Judge Bradley
held that for the reasons the Indictments were
fatally defective. Judge Woods dissAnted, and
Certificate of vision was signed. The ques-

A CLERICAL SCANDAL IN VIRGINIA. - Tn
virginia newspapers have q clerical scandal o
nands Jnst now, not so startling as that which
Mr.. Tiitor has stirred up, nor as the one which
the late Louisville Conference passed upon bu:
stli sufficiently exciting to arouse denomi
natlopal feeling and to array partisans Oh
either side. At the recent commencement o.
Roanoke Female College at Dayille, Virginia
the Rev DIR. n. Wilson, of Richmond, delivered
an ADDRESS to the young ladies, which gave
great offence to the whole audience. No repor,
OF this remarkable performance was published
but the Danville Times editorislly declared
that it was grossly indecent full of indicate
expressions and double entenire jekes and so
offensive to the people who heard it that some
OF them left the hall during its delivery. The
Richmond Wing made substantially the sam
charge. ThereupOn DR.. Wilson summoned
bis clerical brethren OF the Baptist
Pastors Association of Richmond and
read to them what purported to e the manu-
script OF the address delivered before the young
ladies OF Roanoke college, and these gentlemen
after hearing the same published a card settins
forth that II contaised no sentiment or wor,,
that might not have been used by the most
chaste speaker before the most refined audi
ence, with entire propriety. When this card sp-
peared the Times said that IL could not pas.
Judgment or the speech which Dr. Wilson rea,.
10 Dis clerical friends. but il was ready to sub
stantiate all that 1t said concerning the speech
actually delivered at DanvIlle. This was fol
lowed by card signed by fifty prominent citi
zens OF Danviile, (smoDg them the Hon. Thos
5. Flournoy, certifying to the truth and iustics
f. Hatcher publishes a card in the PETERSBURG
Index, certifying DIR. Wilson to be very up
right and pure minded gentleman, and there
the controversy rests.
