PEAfS.
in recent apP1 alton before the Court o.
Appeaia q Virginia, fora rehearing in an i'm
poIlaDt Insurance case. Mr. John Howard, a
FE0niItnt lawyer CT Richmond, stated tull
Ec pres dent OF the court tChIet Justice Il. Z.
l. MoEcure) Is mentally so feeble and pecu-
hlhIllN so Interested In the result OF the suit
that hts bare presence on the bench renders
the decision Infected aud vitiated with ille-
gGHty," al d be wished Il understood that no
such decision would or could be regarded or
recognized by his clients. This has ELECTED
severe rejotnder from a unanimous court
Judge Moncure not sitting. 1t Is shown by
Mr., HoWard's own associate counsel and his
Client that MIR. Howard Insisted on Judge
MoDcure sitting in the case, and that he eX-
pressed an unwillingne5S 10 proceed with the
case unless Judge MOncure would sit. The
court pays a glowing tribute to the Judges de
Votlon To duty and impartial administration
OF justice, and adds that this is not the first
time Mr. John Howard has grossly Offended
against all propTiety in Els demeauOr TO the
court" Mr. Howard, in a note to the court,
asked PERMISSION to Withdraw the whole or
the argument, with the privilege OF making a
revision, and dfsclalming any Intention that
any construction should be placed upon It
incompatible with that high personal and
professional respect for the court and each of
the JUDGES Which IL has ever been his pleasure
10 feel and purpose to show" The curt
granted Mr.. Ho"ard's request, adding, And
In view OF Mr.. Towards express disclaimer aud
the withdrawal OF the whole OF his offensive
matter the court forbear5 to take any further
action" Mr.. Howard then addressed the court
concluding with the remark that the true IN
qulry was not v no made the suggestion as TO
The lncompe;ency OF the Judge, or whether It
should not have been sooner made. but whether
In December last, when be rendered the decls-
Ion, he was not mentally Incapable Of under
standing and deciding go great litigation
and whether he was not personally so situated
Ia respect 10 II as TO unfit him to act as
Judge-lnquiTieS which could not be escaped by
making personal issue with himself

Revival at Sinking Creek.

Mr. EDITOR: The old Sinking Creek
Church, in Teole Bend, has just closed a
wonderful revival meeting, though SER
vices were held in the Methodist Church,
al the Baptist Church was too small and out
of repair for the occasion. 1t continued
fifteen nights and resulted in twenty one
conversions, and three joined the church.
The meeting was held by the pastor, Bro.
John Hunt, assisted by the writer. l have
not witnessed such a revival for years. All
denominations united in their efforts and a
deep and solemn spirit took possession of
every soul and the work went Oh without
bindranee. During the preaching death
like silence pervaded tho entire congrega-
ton, and one night ten souls professed
faith i'll Christ which was all hour of re-
jolcing i'll the camp, such as did our souls
good. for which we would give God all the
praise. We return our many thanks to the
Methodist brethren for the use of their
house.
We expect to commence a series of meet
ings at Midway. where am now teaching,
the first Sunday night in next month, ODE

bless our labors in the latter as in the for

for years. Only of late had he began to
feel himself completely exhausted and his
nervous system shatterd, and his constitu-
ton broken down. A friend recommended
Browns Iron Bitters. 1t suited his case

CONSUMPTION CURED.
BALTIMORE, MD. Feb. 18th,

BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. 18th, 1881.
Upou the recommendation of friend, l
tried Browns Iron Bitters as tonic and
restorative for my daughter, whom 1 was
thoroughly convinced was fast wasting
away in Consumption. Having lost three
daughters by the terrible disease, under the
care of eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest the pro-
gress of the disease; but to my surprise,
before my daughter had taken one bottle of
Browns Iron Bitters she began to mend,
and is now quite restored to her former
health. A fifth daughter began to show
signs of consumption, and when the physi-
clan was consulted, he quickly said, ''ron-
les were required" And when informed
| that the elder sister was taking Browns
Iron Bitters, responded, "That is a good
| tonic, take it."

Hon. Frederick Douglass, of Washington,
had splendid reception at Memphis last
Thursday night, the date of his lecture
there The Appeal thus refers to it:
A very good audience assembled at the
Greenlaw Opera house, last night, to hear
Mr.. Douglass on "Self- made Men" Both
classes were represented There were such
well-known citizens as Dr. White, Judge
Morgan, General Williamson, Captain
Mathes, and many others. When the
lecturer concluded, he held quite levee, a
number of leading white men of Mem
phis going upon the platform to congratu-
late him.
The lecture was extremely enjoyable.
The great fault found with colored speakers
usually is irrelevancy and want of con-
secutive thought; they burden their idea
with repetition and useless aggregation of
unmeaning words. Mr.. Douglass has no
such fault. He has considerable natural
logic, very picturesque use of words and
the keenest kind of humor and pathos. The
lecture was treat and would have reflected
credit on any of the foremost white orators
in the land.
The Appeal gives a synopsis of the lee
ture, which contains the following para
graph: 1.-THE speaker then referred to him
| self, as follows: II was born slave, and
when quite boy used to work in the ship
| yard at Baltimore. The way l learned to
/ read was peculiar. l was lying under the
! bed one day, when heard my young mistress
| reading from the book of Job. The language
| was SO beautiful and she read so eloquently.
! that felt strong desire to know how to
| read and asked her to teach me. She said
| she would, as she didn't know it was wrong
then. Wives had way of obeying their
husbands in those days, even if they don't
now, and SO when her husband, Captain
Ort, heard of it he said, 'It won't do; if
/ you teach him his letters he will want to
read; if he learns to read he will want to
write, and then he'll be writing passes for
all the niggers te leave their masters" /
overheard him, and did not forget what he
said. 1t struck me as being good idea. /
learned to read by stopping little boys from
school and getting them to spell words for
me; and figuring [ acquired the same way.
One day l saw my master writing with chalk
upon a boat, and asked him what he was
doing. He said this is "larboard," point
ing to one word; this is starboard," etc.
When he was gone l copied them, and found
1 could write almost as well as he. I kept
it up so well that in ten years after was
in prison for writing passes for the negroes
to run away on.
