ARKANSAS SPORTS.
DOings of DesperadOes.

LITTLE Rock, March 30.-On the
night OF Sunday last the town OF Fay
etteville was entered by mounted band
OF about twenty armed men. Several
OF them proceeded on foot to the south
east corner of the public square, where
both barrels of shot gun, loaded with
buckshot, were discharged into window
of the Sentinel office. The party then
moved deliberately by the residences OF
A. p. Farmer, Reuben Carter and c. L.
Summers, into all OF which they fired
their shot guns. The two parties joined
near Summers residence, where they
remounted and galloped off on
the West Fork road. There
is no doubt the party was composed
OF the men who week or more before
had threatened the town, in revenge for
the death OF the desperate Reed, who
was killed at the Jail. The State guards,
after the pacific resolutions of the citi-
zens' meeting held by Reed Is friends, had
disbanded, and this sudden attack in the
dark found the city defenseless, and
hence il was unchecked. Fortunately
no one was hurt. 4 considerable num-
Der Of citizens, after their departure,
armed and patrolled the town till day
hight. The man Reed and the mob who
created this disturbance were OF a reck-
less class ofpeople, who have been ter
rog 20 the law-abiding people since the
early days of the war.
Reed had killed several men, and fire.
quently with his gang had ridden into
town, harrassing and annoying law abid-
ing people. Only a short time before
his death he made such a foray into
town and struck the Mayor on the head
with a pistol while the latter was at
tempting to maintain the peace. He
was arrested and fined for this. The
row in which he was killed occurred
shortly after. Respectable people OF
his own kin and party deny that politics
had anything to do with his taking off.

less than those of the United States. But ii
is only when the latter are violated that a
Federal court can take cognizance Of the al
legged wrong. Neither the national nor the
State laws require that blacks shall he eX-
pressly summoned as jurors, nor do they
make reAire unlawful simply because II Is
made up of whites. The list is to be fairly pre-
pared without reference to color III may
comprise whites or blacks exclusively, or a
mixture of both. But when either Is pur-
posely excluded on account of color, both the
spirit and the letter Of the law are violated
OF course. in the Virginia cases 1t VIII De
claimed among other things that there mas
been no exclusion of black jurors on account
of their color. But this j. question ot fact 10
be determined by circumstances And Judge
Riyes very properly suggested to tine 'ranu
jury. whether in counties where the negroes
formed a large proportion, in some cases a
majority. Of the population, and where the
prejudice against color is strong, the fact that
a black Juror was Il rGrd dris was not sufii-
cicnt to create the presumption that an un-
lawful distinction had been made against the
colored race.
Doubtless, the question will be raised by
Virginia whether the claim to sit on a jury in
a State court is a civil right, privilege, or I'M
munitv of citizen of the United States
within the meaning of the fourteenth amend
mcnt. and whether the acts of Congress. os-
pecialy that of 1870, are constitutional 50
far as they were intended to regulate this
matter Judge Riyes evidently had little
doubt as to the meaning of the law on tins
point. and interpreting it as he did, his duty
was clear to take the course which he adopted.
1t is a question whether the matter has no"
been brought before the Supreme Court of
the United States in such way as to give
that tribunal jurisdiction. Indeed, the Chiet
Justice has already hinted his Doubts on this
point. But no difficulty of this kind will
arise should the case come up in the regular
order of appeal. and there is little doubt that
this course will be taken If the proceedings
already begun shall fail to give the Supreme
Court jurisdiction. Hence ii is likely that
the highest judicial tribunal of the country
will soon determine one of the most impor-
tant questions of constitutional law that has
arisen since the war.
