APPLICATIONS TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT TO TEST TIE RIGHT or COLoRED CITI-
ZENs TO SIT ON JURIES.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-This morning
Colonel George o. Davenport, OF Wheeling,
w. Va. accompanied by w. Ell. Lamon and
Ell. 81. Blackburn, applied to the Chief JUS
tice OF the Supreme Court for writ of error
to Judgment in the Supreme Court of APP
peals OF West Virginia in the case Of the
colored man Taylor Strander, who had been
indicted, tried, and convicted. and twice
sentenced to death, in the courts of West
Virginia; the Supreme Court Of that State
having affirmed the lastsentence. Appica-
ton was made to the Chief Justice for o
writ OF error to the State court on the ground
that the Iaw Of the State OF West Virginia
prohibiting colored citizens from serving
on iuries in that State is in violation OF the
Constitution and statutes OF the United
States. The Chief Justice referred TO the
paper and record OF the case in the State
court, and after adjournment Of the SUI
preme Court to- day, after consultation With
the associate justices he awarded the writ
OF error. The first trial OF this case was
in 1872, and Strander has been under sem
| tence OF death ever since.
The same questions presented IN this case
were also presented in the celebrated case
of the negro John Toliver, tried at Mar
tinsburg, W. Va; but before the attorneys
in that case perfected it for the Supreme
Court OF the United States Toliver was
taken from the Jail by mob and hanged.
1t appeared afterwards that Toliver was in
nocent OF the murder Of which he was &C
| cused.
AS West Virginia is the only State which
prohibits colored men from sitting on ju-
ries the case presented to the Chief Justice
this morning is an interesting one.

lCorTt srondcnce OF the Richmond Dispatch ]
APRIL Is, 1878.
On the return OF the delegates who We're
appointed by the Council to visit the people
Of Henry county with reference TO the rail
road enterprise, the Hastings Court, by vir-
tue OF authority vested in it, made order
that the vote be taken on the 23d of May on
the question whether Danville shall SUBJ
scribe $4,000 for the building OF that rail-
road. A very active counting OF the up
country people is now being done by the
Danyile advocates for the aforesaid road
and the people OF Reidsville and vicinity.
You see how it is. Danyile claims to be i
Virginia town, and it Is understood that she
will offer the up-country people on the sd
OF next month the opportunity OF trading
with her to an increased extent, and that Of
going beyond, il they desired it, to the best
market to be found in the regions beyond.
Rev. Henry Petty, formerly OF Chatham,
now divides his time between Chatham and
Greensboro, n. c. On his return to Chat
ham. after fortnight's stay in Greensboro.
he found that perfect transformation had
been wrought in the quarters he used to oc-
cupy, and 8" am sure" says be, "that this
pleasing change was brought about by the
cooperation OF woman's hand and a wo-
mans beaft.''
1t is announced that the Methodist church
in North Danyille. which was erected some
time last fall, will be dedicated tomorrow.
Rev. j. w. Bledsoe will officiate in the SER
vices.
Dir. b. +. Powell, OF Henry county, was
knocked down and robbed about 10 O'Clock
last Thursday night on one OF the outer
streets Of the city. Mr.. Powell lost about
sixty dollars in currency and check for 4
small amount. The police took the matter
in hand, and Sally Gorney, a coIored wo-
man, has been arraigned and sent on to the
grand jury. None Of the money has been
recovered.
Parties from near Galveston, in this
county, report that Major Mason is push
Ing on with the work OF building the mar
row-gauge railroad that Is to run from the
Midland railroad to Orders mill. Mr.. s.
&. Adams has contracted to furnish 10000
cross-ties. The same gentlemen report that
Major Mason, now that the work has been
begun, estimates that he will build the road
for less than $4,000 per mile. 1t seems
generally believed that the people of Frank
lin county will vote 100000 for the exten-
sion OF the road to Rocky Mount The vote
OF the qualified voters is to be taken on this
question on the 23d Of May. !.
Rev. P. A. Peterson, OF the Main-Street
Methodist church, has been holding services
at his church every evening OF this week.
Ihe attendance has been large, and much
interest has been manifested.
Mr.. Il. r. Taylor, of Patrick county, has
been employed as colporter for the Roanoke

mittee of the Association. He will labor
mostly in the county, and viii serve for

The HOB XIII Him.

ST. LOUIS. April ia special to the St.
Louis Globe Democrat from Houston,
Texas, states that three years ago farmer
named Meg uire, living in Walker county,
and head of very respectable family, hired
a young negro man named Walker Denne
to work on his farm. Mcclure has three
daughters, one Of them, Miss Fannie Nc
CURE, handsome young girl OF seven
teen, and who stood well in society. Re-
Gently Miss Fannie cloped with this negro
from her fathers house at dead Of night and
in wagon. They escaped to the railroad
depot, and thence came to Houston last
Thursday. taking up their abode in
negro hut on the outskirts of the city.
Miss McGuire's brother started in pursuit,
and on Sunday morning last, by the old OF
a detective, found the pair. The Houston
authorities arrested the negro on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons and threw
him into Jail, and the girls brother and
uncle took her back home. In the mean
time Justice D. D. Holland, OF Riverside,
Walker county, sent warrant to the Holls-
ton sheriff after Dening, who was forwarded
Tuesday evening on the international train
in charge of Deputy j. f. Morris. The lat
ter delivered the prisoner to Justice Hol-
land and took receipt for him. The negro
was placed in an unoccupied house, with a
trace-chain around his neck and locked
to staple in the floor. Towards
midnight on Tuesday q mob OF twen-
ty men on horseback. armed with double
barrelled shot-guns, rode into Riverside
and demanded the keys to the house where
Dening was. Deputy-SheriffM Morris and Ope-
rator johnson, who were watching them.
were ordered off. The mob then went in and
struck the prisoner. who ratified the chain
as he awoke. He cried "Oh!" and the
mob began shooting. Ateyery shot Dening
screamed and cried for help, till the last four
shots, when his voice was still. Two pounds
OF shot were left in his body. A whole load
OF buckshot was put into his heart. The
mob then remounted their horses and rode
away in the moonlight. The corpse was left
lying with its face to the floor.

NASHVILLE, April 14.-It is now definitely
ascertained that tifty-seven houses were de-
strayed last night by the GAINESVILLE fire, in
GLIDING the best buildings in the city. The
fire is regarded as the work OF an incendi-
airy. Policeman Philips yesterday after
noon shot and killed negro named Leaf
while resisting him with stones. This
aroused feeling among the blacks, and they
threatened to mob Philips. The latter was
placed in jail for safety. 1t is supposed
that the fire was the result OF the recent
lynching Of negro for attempting to COM
NIT rape upon white girl and Leafs
death. Fifty special policemen are patro-
ling the streets OF Clarksgllle tonight.
Nine hundred hogsheads OF tobacco were
destroyed by the fire and rain.

In Rhode Island man who does not own
property cannot vote. Van zandt, who
was elected Governor, and who has voted
not on his own but on his wife's property,
is liable to feel how disagreeable the oppo-
sision may make themselves. The Supreme
Court Of the State decided recently that q
man without issue is not entitled to the
elective franchise on the property Of his
wife, and under that decision, 1t is claimed
Van Zandt cannot take bis seat as Governor
since he is not eligible as an elector.
