STATE SOVEREIGNTY,

Charge of Judge Rfves Covering tie Point
Appealed to the United States Supreme
Court by the State of Virginia
LYNoHBURa, Va, March 18.-The United
States court for the western district of Vlr-
ginia commenced its session to-day. Judge
Rives, in his charge to the grand jury on the
subject of mixed juries and indictments of
county judges for failure to provide, said it
was the duty Of the jury to enforce uniform
obedience and exact universal respect for the
law. If this shall be faithfully and fearlassly
done throughout my whole district it will ar
rest future resorts to federal courts for denial in
this respect of the equal protection
Of the laws and leave tho State courts
in the full and free exercise of their appropri-
ate Jurisdiction, but if this be not done and a
plain duty is avoided under artfully devised
and misplaced scruples as to the law, YOU will
be fomenting further discords and conflicts. I
am at a loss to conceive any me- tive on the part
Of honorable and intelligent ditizens to under
take in any way to obstruct the great organic
measures to which your faith as people is
plightcd in the most snlemn manner, or to
thwart the mission of the general governments
in all its departments. to give equal protection
of the laws to all its citizens without dis.
tinctiou.

A Thiecing TranaD.


The depredations of lawless tramps are
constantly on the increase, and the COM
paratlve impunity with which these nomad-
ic outlaws continue to ply their nefarious
pursuit for plunder, is fast becoming mat
ter of the gravest concern and alarm.
The latest instance of the almost sublime
effr ,ntery which the genus under considers
ton are capable of committing, was per-
petrated at the residence of we'll known
citizen on Monday evening. but owing to tho
fact OF there being no arrests, the affair was
not made known until yesterday.
Shortly after nightfall on the even
ing named, a tramp or thief,
the terms being almost synonymous,
effected an entrance to the residence of Mr..
Thomas Birmingham, No. 252 East Fifth
street, and proceeded to array himself in the
best apparel the house contained. The sew
eral apartments OF the members of the fam
lily we're in turn visited and ransacked Of
their most valuable and portable contents.
The rather aesthetic individual then donned
all the wearing apparel he could conveniently
carry wsthont attracting suspicion, and after
buudling aquantity of clothing and other
valuable articles, proceeded to leave the
house.
Upon reaching the door, however, he was
encountered by one of Mr.. Birmineham's
children, who, being attracted by the strange
conduct of the visitor, at once called her
father, who responded in time to see the mis-
creant turning an adjacent corner. Instant
chase was given, and perceiving that he was
about to be overtaken, the agile thief accel-
Grated his speed by throwing away the bnn-
die, afterwards making his escape. The
bundle contained number of articles of
wearing apparel, in addition to which it was
found that quantity of articles were miss
ing, which the thief evidently carried away
on his person.
