KNOXVILLE, Tenn, December 14.-In
Hancock county, j. N. Epperson, who had
separated from his wife some time ago, re-
turned home, and during a fight with his
wife John Epperson, one-armed son, IN
terferred to protect his mother. The father
inflicted several serious wounds on the son,
who, gaining possession OF the knife, killed
his father. Immediately after, Tom ZIP.
person, another son, came up and asked
John whether he took the fathers part.
John said he had protected his mother,
when Tom fired upon him, and he ran into
the house. The mother now interfered to
protect her one-armed son, and was shot
through the heart. AS she fell lifeless in
the doorway Tom fired at his brother, miss
ing him and striking another brother,
George, in the thigh; another shot missed
the mark and MORALLY wounded a sister.
Tom escaped. John Epperson was arrested
and acquitted on the plea of self-defence.
The tragedy occurred ia the locality rem
dered famous by the Lee-Ledger fight o

.Tudoe Riyes's Opinion.

We have read Judge RIvEs's opinion IN
the Patrick.county cases. Ii he had lett II
unpublished, the profession might have
thought he had some plausible reasons Tor
lis unwise decision. Now, they know that
be stands without excuse. 1t is not too much
to say that, coming from judge OF United
States court, the opinion is contemplate.
There are in it but two attempts at reason
ing which bear the semblance OF judicial
arguments. One is that negro is entitled
to have q negro or two on his jury, because
the fourteenth amendment declares that no
State shall deny TO any citizen "the equal
protection OF the law" Women are by the
express terms OF that amendment citizens.
1t declares that call persons" born in this
country are citizens. Ergo, Judge RIvEs Is
bound to say, woman is entitled to have
woman or two upon a jury trying her
for any offence. Another pretence at
argument is that although the lnhi-
bition in the fourteenth amendment
applies exclusively to State, yet as the
State consists OF an Executive, a Legisla-
tive, and a Judicial department, therefore
the denial of right by one department is
denial by all. A nan fit to sit upon the
bench would have seen that bill passed by
one house Of the Legislature is no such de-
nial; one passed by both houses, no such
denial; one passed by both houses and
signed by the Executive 10 such denial
until some court had administered it as q
constitutional law. Then it would be a
denial by the State, and not before. Then
and there the judges decision could be APP
pealed from, and then only could the four
teenth amendment. or any law under 1t,
come into play. Judge RIvEs comedies
that the law OF Virginia is constitutional,
and thus admits away his whole case.
Judge RivEs's assertion that the law under
which he acted is is not familiar to the bar
generally'' shows the man. He is judi
cial quack, who, having learned that the
Constitution contains such and such proyi.
sions, concludes that he has learned some
thing new. Before. he is done with this
case,:of which he is already very sick, he
will wish that he had known either more OF
else less OF that law; either had not known
OF its existence, or had known that it did
not confer upon him power to try offences
against the State.
