Sudden death Of Gen. James
Shields

OTTUMwA, Iowa, June 2.-Gen.
Jas. Shields. late United States Senator
from Missouri, died suddenly in this
city at 1890 O'Clock last night. He
had appeared in his usual health on the
Sabbath day, and ate hearty supper at
six o'clock, after which he wrote sever
al letters, but just before retiring he
complained of pain in the chest, and
shortly afterwards said to his niece that
he was dying, and IN thirty minutes ex-
PRED sitting in his chair, remaining
conscious TO the last. He lectured IN
this city on Wednesday evening last
and had remained here visiting rcla-
tivcs. His remains will leave at 5
o'clock this evening for his home 10
Carrollton, No.
General Shields resigned his commits
sion in 1868. and settled IN Wisconsin.
but soon after removed to Missouri,
where he resumed the practice of his
profession and served also as railroad
commissioner. 1t will be recOllected
how, in the second session Of the Forty
iifth Congress, he was pressed for the
position of sergeant-at-arms OF the
House ofReprcsentatiyes by Gen. But
Ter, after Mr.. Polk was forced out OF
that position. and how also he was
elected by the Legislature of Missouri to
fill out the end of the term in the United
States Senate made vacant by the death
of Senator Louis V. BOgy. General
Shields was prominent as member OF
the Association of Mexican Volunteers.
in which connection he was well known
in this city. His last appearance here
was at a meeting OF this association,
held at the Maryland Institute on the
4th of last March, when he spoke with
all his natural eloquence.-EDS.

In New York, Thursday, Benjamin
Mayer, OF the firm Of Hirsch & Mayer,
wooden merchants. whom a number OF
commission merchants caused to be in
dicted, and who was convicted last
week of having obtained $4,000 worth
of goods from Converse, Stanton &
Davis on false representation that his
firm was solvent. was brought up for
sentence before Judge Barrett. The
Judge SAID he had reflected over the case
since its trial in an endeavor to find
some reason why he should not impose
upon the prisoner the full penalty ofthe
law. 1t was one of the most fragrant
cases Of fraud that had been disclosed
in his judicial experience, and he hoped
the conviction of such an offense would
have salutary effect upon others Of
the same class Of men doing business
in that city. He sentenced Mayer to
two and a-half years confinement at
hard labor in the penitentiary and to
pay fine of $4,000. Mayer is said to
have obtained 100000 worth of goods
from IS different firms.

CoNsREss is about passing a new
Post Office bill, IN which is incorporated
n number of new routes in Virginia. A
number of our readers are interested in
this bill, but the route, for which they
have so often petitioned, is not includ-
ed. Perhaps it has been forgotten. The
establishment OF the new Post Once
near Union was not Made because II
was on no route, and the establishment
of new route required an act of Con-
gress. Now that an act for the accom-
mediation of many places in the State
is about being passed, they will feel i
they do not set the Office that their in
terests have not received tue attention
which they expected.

The COIOred Juror Question
in Notwithstanding efJudge
Christian.

RICHMOND, VA. June 2.-Judge
Christian, Of the Hastings Court, to-
day gave his answer to the petition Of
colorod citizens asking him to 5 luminous
as Jurors all persons entitled to serve
aud whose names appear upon the poll
books, without discrimination between
white and black men. Judge Christian
concurs in the decision OF his predeces-
sor, the late Judge Gfigon, refusing the
petition asking that cases where cOlored
persons accused Of crime be tried by
colored Jurors who could read and write.
In the case now presented he says
there can be no question that the State
has the right to prescribe the mode in
which jurors are be SO selected and
summoned, and trials conducted in its
courts. This he sustains by citations OF
high legal authority, including JUICES
MARSHALL, Story, fancy, Chase, Waite
and others, and claims that the State,
having the exclusive right to do so.
has, through its Legislature, conferred
on him the duty of furnishing lists from
which juries in his court shall be taken.
He recognizes the equality Of the color
ed people before the law, aud that they
are liable" 10 serve on juries, and
says he will summon them when he
deems it best for the proper enforce
ment OF the laws. When he finds that
he can best secure the ends Of justice
by selecting colored men he will do so,
- st1l If hn 1fa,AAcaH
to do so 1t would be impossible for him
to select all persons entitled to serve
and comply with the law, which says he
must select only such as he thinks well
qualified. There are hundreds in this
city, white and colored, that he has no
opinion ofone way or the other, that he
never can aud never will select, know
lug nothing OF their qualifications. To
select colOred men simply because they
are colored would be applying q test OF
qualification condemned by the spirit Of
the fourteenth constitutional amend
ment and the civil rights law. No ad
duonal legislation is necessary to rem
der cJlored cltizels more liable under
the law than they nov are TO jury duty.
Education, elevation of character, aud
the legal qualification are the only things
he knows of necessary to render any
person liable" to snch service in his
court, aud experience has taught him
that the first TWO prerequisites are not
authorized by admittancc to the jury
box, but must be had beforehand. In
conclusion he says he has selected the
best material 10 could find liable to dis
charge the trusts conlided to them, ex-
poets to do so in the future, aud will file
the petition and continue to put only
such persons on the jures as he thinks
well qualified as the law directs.

Gov. Gracelon, of Maine, in an inter-

the liquor laws in his State, says:-'I

have been to Chicago and Boston come
home and say they did see the same
proportion Of drunkenness outside Of
Maine that they saw inside Of the State.
1 think it has been proved that 1t is inn
possible tor any law to be enacted thai
will put down liquor drinking. Alto

be said that the question of prohibition
Is still an open one. 1t is certain, how.
ever, thatno law can be made that will
take the place of the temperance socie'
ties, or that will Justify them in halting
In their good work. A short time ago
a society of reformed drunkards was
founded in one of our cities. There were
very near 200 members. Where they
came from l cannot tell, but they had
all become drunkards under the Maine
liquor law; so that we have need for
temperance lodges In Maine justs as
much as elsewhere"
