The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-03-13

rarily remanded TO the county jail. On the
fifteenth OF November, 1878. petition was
filed IN the United States Court for the
Western District of Virginia, praying for
a removal OF both of the cases 10
that court. Judge Rives, before whom
the petition came, believing, to use
his own words, that the petitioners had
been denied such trial as is accorded 10
them by the laws Of the State by competent
jurors without distinction ofrace or color
granted the application and directed the
issue a writ of habeas corpus, cw cduSa TO
the marshal Of the district, commanding him
10 take the bodies. of the pris-
oners into his custody and hold them sub
ject to the orders OF the Federal Court. Up
on this state of affairs the General Assem-
bly, passed joint resolution directing the
Governor 10 institute a mandamus pro-
ceeding in the United States Supreme Court,
to recover possession of the prisoners and
prevent their retrial in the United States
court. The petition of the Governor of Vir-
ginia was received to-day by the State At
torney General. 1t sets forth the facts as
above stated, declares that Judge Rives has
transcribed the jurisdiction OF his court in
taking and Withholding the prisoners from
the proper custody of the common
wealth. and has undertaken the exercise of
power not vested in him or in his court by
any law of the United States. 1t therefore
prays that said Rives be required to show
cause why a mandamus should not he is
sued commanding him to redeliver the pris-
oners to the jailor of Patrick county, or to
be dealt with according to the laws of said
commonwealth. 1t is understood that Judge
Rives based his action in granting the petit
ton for the removal Of the case to the Fed
eral court on the ground that none of the
jurors in the State courts were of the pris.
oners' race, and that they did not, there
fore, have an impartial trial The questions
of Federal jurisdiction raised here by the
petition is interesting and important.
