The Election Cases Go Over.

In the United States Circuit Court
on Tuesday, Judge Bond instructed
the jury to bring in verdict of not
guilty in the Barnwcll cases, on the
grounds contained in the motion of
MIR. AIdrich. District Attorney
Northrop then stated that this de-
cision made it necessary to move for
a continuance Of ali the other case 3
until the November term of tue
Court, OH tho ground Of saving ex-
pcnse to the Government rs well as
to the persons accused. He said that
apparently the only reasonable course
open to the Government was to re-
gard this term Of the Court as only
preliminary to the November term,
and he, therefore moved the continu-
ance of all the so-called political or
election cases to the November term.

The Test Oath.

The iniquity Of allo wing this test
oath for jurors to remain on the
statute books Of the nation is clearly
illustrated in the recent election cases
in Charleston in which prejudice Il
Judge, fourteen years after the war,
takes it up and uses it for partisan
purposes. Judge Bond may prate as
much as he pleases on his legal points
but he well knows that the juri IS
obtained under its operation in tn csc
cases were naturally prejudiced aud
unfair. He knows too that no hon
est Southern white man who lived
here during the war could swallow the
oath and upon this the United States
depended for its success.
1t is a matter of encouragement
that Congress is now graphing with
this matter, and, as sure as the Dom
ocrats stand firm. this blot upon our
legislation, conceived in Republican
hate, will s,on be expunged.

it by all the means in our power, and

ton which Is creeping upon us.

OF iadian silaus The Governor reviews

ne, aud IN order to prevent similar occur

omu.ndxrion is based upon the fact, ne the
Governor states, that be has, under the
pres, mt law, no authority to &C; except in
Case OF ''insurrectiou, invasion, or threat
ened Invasion" But since such fund
could only be lesitimaIely used in cases Of
invasion or tbresteued invasion, and since,
under such circumstances, the present law
gives the Governor all the authority neces-
sary, we cannot see any COED 10 be derived
