WASHINGTON.
The Question OF MIscegenatiOn Coming
Before the Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON, Jan.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day, in the case
Of John G. Tinsley, plaintiff in error, vs..
the Commonwealth Of Virginia, on mo-
ton Of Mr.. A. s. Blair, Attorney General
Of Virginia, the appeal was dismissed
with costs, pursuant to the sixteenth
rule. Tinsleys, plaintiff in error in this
case, who is colored man, was tried and
convicted in one Of the State courts Of
Virginia for marrying white woman,
contrary to the law of that State, which
prohibits the intermarriage of white and
black persons. He brought the case here
upon a writ Of error, with the intention
Of testing the constitutionality Of the
Virginia law, but when the case was
called this afternoon he virtually allowed
it to 60 against him by default, having
taken no steps to prosecute the appeal.

A Mass Meeting of the People of the I'd
Precinct of the 9TH Ward is to be Held
Tonight to Maintain Their Rights.
The people of the second precinct of the
Fifth ward, on Dayton's bluff, are called
upon by the following hand bill to meet
tonight and insist upon their rights:
Wake up! Wake up! And demand your
rights as citizens and tax payers. There
will be mass meeting of the property
owners and tax payers of the second pre-
cinct of the Fifth ward, in the grove, at
the corner of Seventh street and Maria
avenue, at o'clock, Wednesday evening,
June Goth, to particularly discuss the Sew
enth street Improvements; the
Fourth street tunnel and 9TH
er necessary Improvements. It is a
noticeable and notorious fact that this;part
of the city is and has been shamefully
treated and neglected by the city authori-
ties, and will continue to be so treated IN
less we rise up as taxpayers and demand
our rights. We are burdened with taxes
and get nothing in return, while other
parts OF the city are receiving improve
ments for which we have to bear our share
OF tax. We have no protection from fire;
we have no water works; we have no gas
lamps; we have no police protection: these
and many other benefits enjoyed by other
parts of the city we are Staxed for, but in
which we do not participate 1t is over
two years since the people on Dayton's
Bluff petitioned and agitated the Seventh
street mProvement,' and the way the city
Is dealing with this part of the city il
will be five years more before this improve
ment is completed. We have conceded to
all demands of the city, ana it is over six
months since the assessment for change of
grade was paid into the city treasury, yet
there has been nothing done towards max
ing this improvement. Let there be a gem
eral gathering of the people from every
part of the precinct-from Phalen creek to
the Harvester works-and show to the city
authorities that we will no longer be trifed
with. Speeches will be made by many
citizens interested in these improvements.
