prcmo Court Of Appeals Of West
Virginia ii affirmed tho Judgment.
The case WAS then brought here
upon a writ or error, the plaintiff
in error maintaining that the act
of the State Legislature which en-
ciudcs colorod men from the jurics
is in violation Of the Fourteenth
amendment 10 tho constitution,
and he was entitled To have his
ease removed to the United States
Circtiy Court. This court, after
fully considering the Fourteenth
amendment. its nature, intention
and scope. holds:
First. THAT the statute Of West
Virginia which in effect singles
out and denies the colorcd citizens
the right and privilege of paytici-
patin@ in the administration Of the
law rs jurors because Of their col
or. though qualified in all other
respects. is practically q brand
upon them affixed by the law, and
is Il discrimination. against that
race forbidden by the amendment,
II is 4 denial Of equal protection of
the laws TO the race thus excluded,
as the constitution Of iuri"s il 4
very essential part Of protection.

Mr.. \. W. CAMPBELL, of the
Wheeling Intel.igcnccr.who has been
spending some time in Washington
City, writes his paper that two of
the West Virginia Representatives
in Congress express the opinion
that Tilden cannot carry this S.Ite.
We have noticed for some time That
our Representatives at Washington
have come to the conclusion that
they were not only sent TO Wash
ingtHn 10 represent their Canstitu-
cnts in Congress, but that they
should dictate to the people Of this
State who should be President, and
who they should elect for State Off
GERS. Now it is about time that
this should be stopped. We donot
neiieEr lllAC any sane man doub'S
for Il moment that il'Tildou is nom
mated hcwoull not carry this State
BY large majority. The gentle.
men who expressed their opinions
to Mr.. Campbell are opposed TO Mr..
Tildcn, and desire some other cali
didatc. and take this method Of ad.
vancingthc interests Of their choice.
We believe that Mr.. 'riiiem is the
most available man the Democratic
party can select, But let the Gin
cinnati Convention determine this
matter, and our District Convcn-
tioNs who the people Of this State
desire, and let lis have less Clicta-
ton from Washington.

era, Ii. nj. S. Pinafure, by the anna
tours of Canton, ON Tuesday even-
ing last, was one of the best and
most delightful aff,irs that ever
took place in this City. The large
hall was completely filed, with the
elite of our town and county, and
the verdict of applause was unanI-
NOUS. We have not space to par
ticnlariZe, but will say that the
parts of Sir Joseph Porter, by MIR.

Mr.. Geo. Handy; Ralph by w. Ii.
Dudley, Esq; Josephine. by Miss
Fannie Magruder, (tbe sweetest
singer of all our Southern vocalists }
Cousin Hebe, by Miss Lucy Magru-
der; and Little Buttercup, by Mrs.
Il. s. Jeffrey, were all splendidiy
rendered, aud the difficult role of
Dick Deadeye, by Mr. Swain, was
inimitably droll and amusing.
There may be better plays, but
one thing we will vouch for, Pima =.
foie was never better played than
il was Tuesday night by Mrs. Chas.
Uandys's Canton Amateur Troupe.
