Whatever may be the skeptics' doubts
concerning the title that il so irresistibly worn
by GroEGE. the Count JoASSEs. there can be no
doubt that no has the soul OF a nobleman. He
got a verdict yesterday in suit for damages.
and when the defendants lawyer profered the
sum that the jury awarded. the pride OF the
actor. author. swordsman. and counsellor in
tho Supreme Court OF New York burst forth in
these characteristic words: " l entered into
this case not for profit, but for reputation. l
am successful. and l depart satisfied" The
verdict called for only six cents. 1t is true. But
who. for a moment. fancies that the Counts
scornful rejection Of the money would not have
been Just the same II it had been ten thousand
dollars ! The hopeless ignorance that ex-sen-
ator CHARLES II. WINFIELD manifested when
asked his opinion OF the Counts King Lear was
simply painful. He said he was not acquainted
with King LEAR. and. indeed. never saw tho
gentleman.

odious to the South-to our ideas Of States
Rights. But this case demonstrates its ne

question about which any doubt can arise in

When Judge Tredway refused to remove
the case upon the presentation OF the petit

not the prisoner have excepted to his deci-
sion, and appealed to the Court Of Appeals
of Virginia for a writ Of error? Ordinarily

inferior court has erred. But the Court Of

that technically, the jury was legal one,
and affirmed the decision OF the court below.
| There is no provision in the act for this
course. In fact it never was contemplated
that State Judge would have refused such
petition. 1t simply provides for one course,
and that has been strictly pursued.
There was no other remedy. The great
question in this case has arisen from the

forced in a manner novel and different from
all our former experience and practice.

Socially, by nature and instinct, we re-
fuse equality; civilly, by the law, we are
bound to admit it. We, in this State, have
done everything we could (bdt we did it
honestly, thinking it necessary to the pro-
lection of our race) to evade the results Of
the law by which we were re-admitted into
the Union, upon the vital question Of negro
civil equality. The dictate of common sense
is to surrender to the inevitable.

AMERICAN COAL.-Some time back the
American Cunsul at Geneva wrote to the
Department of State concerning the interest
exerted in that city by the arrival Of the
first cargo of American anthracite. coal. The
Consul, under date of December 18th, now
reports that the tests made at the several
foundries i'll Geneva for the purpose of Prov
ing the quality of this coal have resulted far
more favorably than was anticipated. The
iron made with the American coal was so
much superior in firmness, durability and
texture to that produced by the coke iAvari-
ably used throughout Switzerland, that als
manufacturers interested did not hesitate to.
CONFESS their amazement and qualification at
the results OF the first cxperhnent and their.
intention to purchase 1t exclusively in the
future. The Consul looks upon these salts
factory results OF this first experiment as the
entering wedge TOR avery extensive demand
for ong anthracite coal In Switzerland.

A Creditable Record.

| The high craftsmanship which has control-
ed the administration of the government I'M
der the Republican party is indicated by
the financial condition of the country. When
the financial policy is wise, and the financial
department in healthy condition, we may
safely assume that all other interests are
wisely cared for and administered. The
following brief and pregnant resume of the
finance department of the government since
1S65,is alone sufficient to attest the devotion
of the Republican party to the public well
fare, and challenge the approval and conf
| dence OF all fair-minded, patriotic citizens
The Baltimore american of the 10th, tersely
presents the case as given below:
The admiration with which the English press
regard the successful resumption of specie pay
ments in this country shows just appreciation
| of a wonderful achievement. The financial results
| of the Republican administration will form
shining chapter OF history, unmatched in the an
nails of any nation. We have already referred to
the tardy and bungling manner in which the re-
sumption of specie payments were effected in
| England Repeated postponements OF the date
were made. and even after resumption had been
| accomplishments specie redemption of small bills
was indedefnitey postponed. causing the issue
| of a volume of currency which precipitated the
| terribly ruinous panic OF 1885. Resumption in
this eontry was effected without the slightest jar
| even more remarkable than that great event.
Take, for instance. the reduction Of the public

account then stood as follows, the figures being
