Jurics altogether white. The novel
plea was raised that the law requires
trial by ones peers, and that blacks
should have been Oh the Jury. The
Virginia Legislature promptly tool,
the matter in hand and ordered the
attorncy-gcncral to appeal to the
United States Court. Meanwhile,
Judge Rivcs, thirsting for more blood,
has decided that the paucity Of negro
jurors in the State Courts is an evi-
dcncc Of conspiracy against the
amendments on the part of those who
drew the jurics. lie has therefore
procured the indictment of five county
Judges, on the charge Of discriminating
against color, and he proposes to put
them III Jail, Such high-handcl
outrage was never heard of before.
The people Of Virginia arc Justly
aroused. But this is matter not
confined to the Old Dominion alone ::
it affects every State in the Union. 1t
is not so much whether the amend
mcnts arc violated as whether a
United States judge has the right to
drag State Judges to trial whenever he
plcascs. If so, the latter are but
dependents and adjuncts of the Fed
cral Judiciary, mere myrmidons to do
the bidding Of masters at the risk of
punishment. The liberties of pco-
pic rest with their courts. Evil is the
day when the latter become mere
engines of oppression. State Judges
in New York or Massachusetts or
Ohio can be dragged to trial if their
Jurics arc composed Of one race, for
both races arc found in each of these
States. That they arc not molcstcd is
simply because The Radical party is
afraid to practise its outragcs in the
North. The South has 10 rights, and
consequently suffers.
This Federal interference is not re-
cciying the attention its gravity de-
mands. a simultaneous protest
should be raised in every part of the
Union. Hthcsc encroachlncnts, mado
one by one, and cautiously. arc
acquicsccd in, dcspotism in a short
while will have fixed itself too firmly
on the United States to bc shaken of.

GEORGIA is enjoying rich contro-
vcrsy III which one of the parties is
the wife of Parson FELTON,, Indcpcntl-
cnt Congressman from the seventh
district. The campaign in November
was very heated. Senator Gordon
stumping the district for the organized
democracy, and Mrs. Fclton, who is
SAID to bean admirable lady, aiding hor
husband materially. Recently Mr..
a. W. Reese, Georgia newspaper
man, charged in the papers that the
hepubllcan national committee had
Dcch asked for funds for FELTON,. Mrs.
Fclton wrote very bitter and un-
ladylikc letter, denying the charges
ana asserting that Senator Gordon
was her real accuser. She saws she
dld write to Senator Ferry to make
the Georgia Republicans stop aiding
Lester, the regular nominee, but that
was all. Then she went on and fired
not shot into Gordon, in consequence
OF his connection with the Book
Publishing Company and the South
ern Life, intimating that he ought not
10 DC so sensitive about money mat
ters, and lastly she calls him Scna-
torial blathcrskitc. This is most
nndignified and unladylikc procedure.
IT Parson FELTON, could not defend his
W'fe's reputation, she should treat the
matter with silent dis(ain. Of course
Senator Gordon can say nothing; and
nobody expects him to reply. Mrs.
FELTON, has hurt herself and her Inns
band, and done nobody else any harm.
Admitting that she asked for no
1unds, her letter to Ferry shows con-
clusively where FELTON, looked for
rlcnds--in the Radical ranks. Gcor-
g'a surprises everybody by sending
such mon to Congrcss-it matters not
now good Democrats they may be
when thcy get there.
