AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE ErvEs, OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CAN DEMAND coMPo-
SITE vENIRE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 81, 1878.
A special despatch from Danvilie says that Judge
Rves, Of the United States District Court. delivered
most important opinion there to-day under the Civil
Rights act. It appears from the record flcd in the
Court during this that in the circuit of Patrick
county, at its April term, 1878. two negro boys.
Curwcll and Lee Reynolds by name. were tried
for the murder of white man named Aaron
g. Shelton. During the trial the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS moved the Court 20 award them special
vcnire 70 be composed of both whites and blacks.
since the venire in attendance composed wholly
OF whites and negroes names had been put into
the ballot box. Judge Trcdwsy. of the State Circuit
Court overrulcd this motion and thereupon the de-
PENDANTS offered petition praying that the cause be
removed to the United States Circuit Court 10 be held
at Danvio under the laws Of the United States tRc
vised statutes, second EDITION 1878. page GAIL This
petition was refused. The defendants. who were
Jointly indicted were tried and found guilty but upon
a writ Of from the Supreme Court OF the state
were awarded new trials and one OF them was finally
sentenced to tho penitcntiary for eighteen years
Upon this counsel for defendants offered their petit
ton TO Judge Kiycs of the United States District
ers on the ground that bla ks illegally exclude
from the uries, and that they be tried anew in the
United States Court
VIRGINIA yumHs MUST BE MrxrD.
Judge Rives in pronouncng his opinion. said that
oil the proceedings In tho state Court nugatory
after the Offering Of the petition OF removal although
the Judge had refused 10 allow the same, even under
the humane Law Of the State. which requires jurors
TO be summoned without respect to race or color
Aud while he admitted that IL was question entirely
for the Judge who competent jurors. yet, when
these defendants demanded that they should be tried
by NJ least some ~ their race the Judge violated
the law Of the United States In refusing them this
right He said they entitled TO be tried by their
peers, and intimstcd that the iudgcs Of the state
courts should not select their jnrymen exclusively
from the whites. After elaborate consideration Of
law Judge Rives read order which required the
clerk 10 ssnc hnbcas corpus ca,lsa, tor each OF
the said parties 10 the sheriff jsilor Of Patrick
county and to have q vcnire irrespective Of race
color summoned for the trial OF these causes at tho
next term of the Court
This opinion created no small stir among members
of the bar Is substantial effect s TO strip the state
courts of jurisdiction in where negro is tried
unless mixed jury il cmpanclled to try him. The
decision will doubtless be the subject OF much legal
wrBngnp before this kuctty conflict between the
State and federal courts IL settled.

Pope and King

If it is true that the official notification of
the accession of Pope Leo XIII. was ad-
dressed to Humbert !. as King of Sardinia in
stead of King OF Italy there is not much hope
in the immediate future ofany change in the
relations between the Holy See and the Ital-
i'm Kingdom. The italian Premier recently
stated that the law otthe .Papal guarantees"
had a constitutional character, which meant
that twas not liable to any has.y revision.
The Italian Court and Cabinet are treating
the Papasy with as much consideration as
possible, and it has several times of late
been manifest that they have been willing
to 20 half way in any steps that would lead
to easy relations between the parties. The
root Of the trouble is the old Papal
theory that the Pope should not be
the subject of any king, since perfect
freedom of action is impossible if he is
But as thesgreat States nowadays are swal-
lowing up the small it would be difficult
to find any spot in Europe that would be
secure from the devices of a powerful neigh
Dor. Hence little space to rule over be-
comes merely a place to carry out the
behests Of others. If His Holiness looked
ut the subject in this light he would quickly
argue that ON understanding with the King
of Italy would be preferable to pseudo
independence in a petty State.

I'm perial Compliment t..

The Sultan congratulates the Gear on the
anniversary Of his accession to the throne
and the Gear perceives in the coincidence of
the simultaneous arrival of this pleasant
message with the news of the signature of
peace ga presage Of good and lasting rela-
TONS between them. These exalted ex-
pressions of mutual esteem are signalled
across 'bloody chasm" in which lie about
hundred and fifty thousand slaughtered
soldiers-not to count the women and chill
dren whom the barbarous defenders" of
Islam sent to their graves in Bulgaria and
Roumelia. But rs q kind of telegraphic
kiss of peace and pledge Of good wishes
they will be welcome to the world, despite
the CHASTITY account they close. The poet
who recounted the meeting of the lord Of
the neither world and the Archangel Michael
when the soul of George iii. was in dis
pute represented these great leaders of
opposing causes as animated by serene
and genial demeanor toward one another -
And therefore M.chacl and tho other wore
A civil aspect though they did not kiss
Yet still between his darkpes and his brightness
There passed mutual glance OF great pollenoss.
This is perhaps the type OF all such cour-
tesies Of foes in exalted positions. But it
is not impossible certainly that there may
be in the presage OF good relations between
Turkey and Russia substantial promise.
The events Of the war have changed the
relations of the Sultan to the world and to
his great neighbor more especially. He is in
practical tutelage for time, and he may
grow to its consequences and may come to
regard his neighbor as his natural ally and
John Bull as an outsider who has come be-
tween and made trouble because he saw
his own advantage in it.
