In the U. s. Circuit Court at Rich.
mond, Va, yesterday, Judges Bond
and Hughes announced that they disa-
greed in the cases of the Petersburg
election officers, indicted for violation
of the Enforcement law, and that they
would certify the cases to the su-
preme Court of the United States.
There is only one point of difference
between the Judges Judge Hughes.says IS
the indictments are totally defective,
inasmuch as they doinot charge that
the persons prevented from voting
were prevented ION account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-
tude." Judge Bond holds that it is
sufficient to charge the acts done, and
that the motive of hostility may be
inferred from the act of preventing q
colored citizen from voting.

Political I,.stigatOrs of Crime.

The arrest of William Thomas, (negro) |
at the instance of his wife. and his in
generation in the Jail at New Castle, |
may be the means Of revealing to the
people of Delaware not only how nearly
they escaped negro domination and car
pet-bag rule in 1870, but also the unwor-
thiness and brutality Of the men who
then led the Radical party.
That they stopped not at crime was
shown by their acts in this city; and
their attempt to send from here armed
bullies over this county to destroy the
polls in Democratic Hundreds.
What William Thomas says in refer
ence to the attempt to beat the Demo-
Gratis from the polls in st. Georges
Hundred, is no doubt reasonably true.
And what does it provep 1t proves that
the men who influenced it are not good
citizens and had no respect for law or
order even in their own Hundred, where
they knew they had q majority of tho
votes, and it was their duty to see that q
fair and orderly election was held.
Time reveals the fact that the distur-
banoe was pre-airanged and designed.
This is SO unless WIN. Thomas speaks
falsely. The leaders no doubt intended
that the Democrats should be intimidat-
ed and driven from the polls and then
the Republican majority increased as
desired.
Fortunately for the people, the assault
upon Mr.. Cochran at the polls had diff
ferent effect. 1t served to arYuae all to
sense Of the terrible wrong of perpe-
trating such crime us attempting the
life of one Of the most respectable and
distinguished of the citizens Of the
Hundred. The negroes ran away with
fright and many honorable men among
the Republicans refused to vote at all
Thus was the crime of negro, who had
no right to vote, seemingly by Provi.
Dental interference, made to recoil upon
the prompters themselves.
Dunn's plans in this city were fail
ures also. And we hope that time viii
yet bring to light all the parties to this
bold attempt to overrun our city ant
county with imported bullies from Phil
adelphia and other places.
Mr.. Cochran did not seek Thomas's ar
rest. He did not wish to become thu
avenger. But finding the negro in tn,
county jail yielded to the duty a citizer
owes his State and society, and appeared
witness to sustain the charges prefer
red; and which Thomas confessed il
open Court in which he accused tn,
white Radicals Of urging the negroes t.
fight at the polls.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Mr.. J. V. Moyne has decided to con.
test the seat of Congressman Farwell
in the lid Illinois District. If Mr..
Farwell could only, induce his oppon-
ent to play poker for the seat he would
have pretty sure hing of 1t. AS a
poker player Mr.. FarweH Is an I'M
mense success. ... -. .--
Senator Morton is We y likely to re-
main in California all Winter, and
Senator Logan is in such poor health
that he does not expect be OF much
service at the next session. The in
flation party will consequently be short
of leaders in the body where they need
them most. Perhaps If Senator Nor
ton stays long enough in California he
will learn by practical experience that
gold as medium Of currency IS not
such relic of barbarism.
The Civil Rights bill finds few de-
tenders nowadays. The Chicago Tn
bune calls it 'legacy of evif' left by
Senator Summer to the Republican par
ty. 1t hopes for the sake of harmony in
the party that the duty of refusing TO
sign the bill will not be forced upon
the President, but if it is ''it may be
considered beyond reasonable doubt, "
that he will veto it. The Tribune
holds that everything has been done to
secure the enjoyment of the negro's
political rights, and says it will oppose
all attemps to legislate concerning soci-
oil relations.
The authorship of the salary grab is
now saddled upon Minister Washbur-
ne, candidate for the Presidency. A
Washington correspondent of The
Spring field Republican says that when
Mr.. Washburne was on q visit to The
White House a year ago last winter,
he discovered presidential yearning
for more salary, and went to the lead
ing Republican of the House nrging
that the old compensation be doubled
He urged Mr. Dawes, as Chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee, tt
take lead in the movement, but he de
clined.

A Question of Yeracitu.

Mr.. VIM. H. Hulk ills card in another
column will be read with interest by the
politicians of this county. He comes
down with denial of William Thomas
charges which connects him with u
meeting at Mt. Pleasant. He says he
has "no acquaintance with VIM. Thom-
as, and consequently don't know what
his propensities are" This is quite cool
in Mr.. Hukill. One would not have
suspected year ago that he would have
used such language toward "a man and
brother" Mr.. Hukill is frank to &C.
knowledge he was at the Browntowr
meeting" Would he have been "frank
to acknowledge this had there beer
cause for denial and hope for conceal

knowledging Browntown unless he ad
