There is u lack oi prcc@ients, and rea-

We have heretofore noticed, the case oi
TAYLOR SrRNnER, in this state, raises
about the same questions.
The West Virginia Court OF Appeals

taken 10y Judge RIvEs, and the United
States Supreme Court will probably set
tic the controversy in short time, both
in the Virginia case and in tho STRAY
DIR cRse Ivy its decision in the latter
which is now pending in that Court
The Attorney General OF Virginia has
filed an opinion in the RIvEs case, which
takes very strong ground against the
right of the Federal Courts II interfere
in such cases. He Comhatsit both upon
reason and law, lie holds that

that u jury must hc composed III part Of

General upon the questions ut law in

upon the negro race either lay the recent

A Complete Surprise.

The election in Maine a few days
ago was a complete surprise to the
Republican party, and it is no less a
matter of serious concern to the De
mocracy of the country. The Ma
tional Greenback party developed a
strength which was unsupported be-
fore the election, The danger to the
country from this movement, is not
so much the likelihood of its getting
control of the National government,
as of its offering an opportunity to
the almost despairing Radicals to re-
tain their influence in Congress. The
only object of the new party is, pro-
fessedly, one which has been persist
emily contended for by Democrats,
in season and out of season; and be-
cause they have not, as yet, been able
to accomplish all that was to be de-
sired, some politicians who were
thirsting for Office, and who forget
everything but their personal ambi-
ton, conceived the idea Of forming
a new party. They had not enough
originally to propose something new,
and were not content to remain III
the old ranks, but singled out one
principle and stold it, as it were, from
the Democratic party. The Repub-
licans, of course, secretly rejoice al
the division in the ranks Of their OF
ponents. just as the grand Old
party was gathering her resources
and marshalling her hosts, ready tc
crush out the last vestige Of Radical
misrule, there is a mutiny in the
ranks. With a united Democracy
Rldicalism would soon lose its infu-
ence in the National councils; but its
leaders, well understood the familiar
principle, "divide and conquer" >
Just at a time when their defeat
seemed certain, when the universal
cry from the whole misgoverned ma
ton, demanded the recognition Of
Democratic principles, the Republic
cans see great bodies of their oppo.
nents wandering off, leaving the sub
stance in pursuit of the shadow
The Radicals will, while openly con
tending against both, secretly cher
ish the new departure, for their only

State Aid for the Suffering.

If there is one thing which will
cilace the memory Of bitter strife
and sectional mimosity, it is a
scourge such as the pestjlonce now
de~populating our Southern cities.
And nobly have the people Of the
North, forgetting in this terrible
time, everything but that their fell
low. beings are suffering and dying
from pestilence and famine, respond
ed to the cry for help. From every
quarter money is sent by the thous-
auds of dollars, and a debt of graft
tude laid upon the Southern people,
which should evermore be consld-
cred as a sacred obligation.
The epidemic is everywhere con-
sidered as n national calamity, but
its effects are more keenly felt in
New Orleans, Memphis and in ditte-
rent portions of this State than else
where. Private charity has expend-
ed thousands for the relief of the
sufferers, but private charity is not
| sufficient to alleviate all the misery
that exists. If there was ever a time
when appropriation of public money
was needed for the good Of the citl-
zens if there was ever a time when
humanity demanded hat extraordi-
nary proceedings be taken, surely 1t
is now. Our State finances are in a
prosperous condition, money is lying
idle in the treasury, while thousands
of the citizens Of the State are sui
fering for the actual n~ecessarIes OF
life. Why should not something be
done by the State? Is it because
the Legislature cannot be convened
to make the appropriation If the
scourge were depopulating northern
