Sambo is not dead in politics yet, if we
may judge by the lively noise he is making
Just now in several directions. In Virgins
there is stir on Legitimate point Of State
rights, brought about BY the trial Of two
negroes for . crime of which they were
found guilty. But the issue does not rise
on their guilt, bnt on point Of form in the
trial Nearly all troubles of this nature are
brought about in fact on the trials Of guilty
people, for when q man is guilty the lawyer
addresses himself commonly to some point
on which he may defeat justice, and the
point is usually technicality. Colorcd
.juries were claimed for them, and upon
the denial Of these the lawyer made
the appeal necessary under the Civil
Rights law to carry the case into
the United States Circuit; so that the
precedent points to the fact that the crime
of murder or homicide in Virginia must
be tried in the United States Court, and not
in the State courts. ii the person accused is
a criminal. In other words, sovereign
State cannot try and punish its own GRIM
inaIs by its own tribunals. There is no law
which provides that there shall be colored
jury, but a man must have jury of his
peers, aud the Civil Rights law, which es-
tablished the equality Of negroes and whites,
made them the peers of each other in all
legal aspects. Even to demand such q jury
is discrimination on account Of color
Perhaps this source of apparent danger to
justice in Virginia will prove less trouble
some than it now seems if it is forced to q
final Interpretation of the law as it touches
such cases.

The republicans have sucn an unpre-
cedentedly large majority in the Assembly
in the next Legislature that their response
bility for the character Of the legislation Of
the session will be direct and undeniable.
Their majority in the Senate is not SO large
and lacks one of full two-thirds of that
body, so that If the democratic Senators
hold we'll together it may be difficult, If
not impossible, for the republicans to over
ride an Executive veto. To this extent the
power Of the latter is restricted; but their
complete control of the Assembly will make
them accountable for any loose or improper
bills that may find their way to the Executive
Chamber. Especially will they be answers

The State OF Virginia has enjoyed and
improved many opportunities for putting
herself in the position of q leader OF her
sister States, but at present she has more
brilliant chance than ever before. Like all
other civilized communities she has debt,
and most of it is due for what is vulgarly
but graphically termed "a dead horse" A
more exasperating and demoralizing burden
than this kind Of indebtedness can hardly
be imagined, but no quantity Of anger and
dependency can alter the nature of such
obligations. Virginia has some Legislators
and citizens who want to repudiate her
debt; others who wish TO compromise with
the States creditors, and still others
among them being many citizens who
would be the principal sufferers-who in
sist upon payment in full. The opportu-
nifty for doing the latter has been given by
some responsible European bankers, who
propose to place four per cent State bonds
in which the debt may be funded. An ac-
ceptance of their proposition would compel
an increase in the rate of taxation, and such
o step is always unpopular with the taxed.
But the question is not one Of popularity
| it hinges upon common honesty. The State
is really. able to pay interest on the full
amount Of the debt is there any good rea-
! son why she should.not do it2 The reasons
why she should pay every dollar are
numerous, but besides those Of ability and
common honesty is that of the reputation
| and influence Of the Commonwealth. II
she pays in full none OF her sister States
will dare repudato their own debts, which
at present some of these stand ready TO do
at the slightest encouragement. Besides,
there Is no incentive to retrenchment Of ex.
pcnses in the future like that born Of the
