Judge Gilbert, of the Supreme Court, in
Brooklyn. yesterday rendered decision in a
civil rights case, wherein colored man, sought
to compel the principal of public school to
admit his son thereto, instead of sending him
to the school provided for colored children.
The Court held that common schools are pub.
lie charity: that benefits conferred by them are
free gift from the State and like severy
other donor, the State may prescribe in
what manner and upon what terms aud condi-
tons the gift may be enjoyed. In coDcusi ion
Judge Gilbert says that the statute, by
guaranteeing equal privileges, does not confer
the right to enjoy them in common with any
class of persons, or in any particular school,
and that nothing has been shown from which
it Can be inferred that the relator has been de-
prlVed of equality of the privilege to which be
is entitled. The motion for the mandamus was
denied. .r

There is report of another outbreak in the
neighbor hood of Grenada, Taahatchie county,
Miss, growing out of an attempt to arrest two
negroes from Arkansas, who had registered as
voters in Tallahatchie. They were pursued by
posse, and two of the deputy oonstables fred
at them as they ran. The negroes in the vi.
cinity hearing of the affair armed themselves
to the number Of seventy, and demanded that
the two deputy constables be surrendered to
them. This was not done. The negroes con
tinued to act riotously and threateningly, when
it was necessary for the whites to call for assis-
lance on adjacent villages to prevent the ne.
groes from doing violence. President Grant is
expected 10 Washington to-day, when Cabi-
net meeting will be held on the question of &C.
ceding to Gov Ames call for Federal troops to
suppress the disorder, which is greatly exag-
gerated for political effect.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER IA.

LoUDoUN CoUNTY.-It will be seen from
7 the letter of our Leesburg correspondent that
the Conservatives of Loudoun county have
nominated for the House of Delegates WILLIAM
MATTHEW and JOHN ARMIsTEAD CARTER,
gentlemen of acknowledged ability and of legis-
lative experience, whose past course is guar
antee of their future usefulness. They are both
deservedly very popular, have the full conf
dence Of their fellow countymen, and will
doubtless be elected without serious opposition.
The convention drew together large number
of the people Of the county, who were addressed
by Judge G. E. Sinclair and H. o. Claughton,
esq.,, candidates for the State Senate 10 this
district, and both gentlemen acquitted them
selves in manner that gave the utmost salts.
faction. Mr.. Claughton's speech is said to
have been particularly happy, and his vindica-
ton Of his record and refutation of certain
charges that have been preferred against him,
concerning bis course during the late war, were
perfectly satisfactory, while his reply to MIR.
Chancellor, an independent candidate, who
read the accusation from a paper is said to
have been overwhelming, and gained for him
not only the applause but the hearty approba-
ton of his audience. Judge Sinclair, who is
one OF the best and most foished speakers 10
the State, acquitted himself, as he always does,
most satisfactorily, and the prospect is that old
Loudoun will do her whole duty in November
