An INTERESTING CAsE.-THE U. S.
SUPREME CoURr GRANTS WRIT OF
ERROR IN THE CASE OF a CoLoRED MUIR
pERER. R.-WAsHINGroN, April l5.-Thls
morning COL George A. Davenport, OF
Wheeling, w. Va, accompanied by W.
III. Lamon and Fl. Ii. Blackburn, ap-
piled to the chief justice OF the Supreme
court for a writ of error to a Judgment
Of the supreme court OF Appeals OF
West Virginia, in the case Of the color
ed man Taylor Strauder, 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 last SEN
tence. Application was made TO the
chief Justice for writ Of error to the
State court on the ground that the law
of the State of West Virginia, prohibit
ing colored citizens from serving on
iuries in that State, is in violation of
the constitution and statutes OF the Uni
ted States. The chief justice took the
papers and record of the case IN the
State court, and after the adjournment
of the Supreme court to-day aud consul
ta,ion with the associate justices he
awarded the writ of error. The hrst
trial of this case was in 1872, and
Strauder has been under sentence OF
death ever since. The same questions
presented in this case were also present
ed in the celebrated case OF the negro
John Toliver, tried at Martinshurg, W..
Va, but before the attorneys in that
case perfected the case for the Supreme
court of the United States To,iver was
taken from Jail by mob and hanged
1t appeared atterward that Toliver was
innocent of the murder of which he was
accused. AS West Virginia is the only
State which prohibits colored men from
sitting on juries, the case presented to
the chief justice this morning is an in
teresting one.
BV~ 1t has never been proven that
1oliver was not guilty, neither did any
one else confess as to his innocence as
has been said, on the contrary every
one is as forcibly convinced of his guilt
now, as they were before his death.
We are not in favor of lynch law, but
we do say, that no murderer, and no
outrageous characters, as Toliver and
Strauder should escape their just pun
ishment through any technicality Of the
law

NO BLESSING INTHAT HOUSE.

No blessing in that house
Where rum has entered in;
Nothing but care and want,
Nothing but woe and sin;
Nothing but hunger and rags,
Nothing but sighs and tears,
And days of grief and pain
Through all the long, long years.
No blessing in that house
Where rum sits on its throne;
Nothing but aching, breaking hearts,
That call on God alone;
Fond mothers, with faces pale,
Who moan, and hope, and pray;
Fond sisters and wives, who sit and
weep
Their very lives away.
No blessing in that house
Nothing but faded hopes.
And ghosts of joys that paled and died
On all life's sunny slopes;
Sad memories of graves,
That were too early made,
And fearful scenes of death and woe,
That er in time shall fade.
No blessing in that house;
Great God! bend down thine ear;
Oh, harken to Thy childrens cry,
And mark each falling tear;
Assert Thy righteous power;
Father of Mercies, come,
And Danish from the homes of earth
The dreadful curse ofrum.

ABANDONED AT SEA.

At all times ships OF one kind or an
other are floating about at sea, abandon
ed by officers and crew, i'll what seems
a hopeless condition. Some are dis
manlled and mere hulks, some are
swimming keel upwards, some are wa
ter-logged, but being laden with timber
will not sink, but are driven bither and
thither as the wind and waves may
direct. SO people afflicted with catarrb,
bronchitis, and consumption, are aban-
doned by physicians and friends as in
durable, yet thousands of such are an
nually restored to perfect health by the
use OF DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
The Catarrh Remedy is unequaled as a
soothing and healing local application,
while lbe Discovery purifes aud en-
riches the blood aud imparts tone and
vigor to the whole system.

LoNGsTREET OF NIGHT.

On the morning Of the 2Sth General
Jackson put his corps in position near
Sudley's church and Grovetop. He
had no desire 10 bring on an engage

the Federal commander to force one on
him before be was reinforced by Long
street. Consequently, after some pre-
liminary shutting OF troops on both
sides, an attack was made by General
Pope late in the afternoon. A tough
fight for several hours followed and the
attack was repulsed but not without
loss which We could not afford. Gen.
Ewell, one of the best division COM
manders the war produced, was disabled,
and bis efficiency permanently impaired
by the loss of leg. Generals Trimble
and Taliaferro were badly wounded.
On the same evening General Long.
street was engaged in forcing his way
through Thoroughfare gap, which, after
Jackson passed, had been occupied by
the enemy. 1t was vital that Long
street should force a passage that day
and he did it. 81 roitss. asc
