MIXED GRAND JURIEs.
Important Decision by the Supreme
Court.

Important Decision by the Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day in the case of John
Bush, plaintiff in error, VS.. the Common
wealth of Kentucky, which arose
out of the Indictment of a colored
man for the murder of a white
child. Counsel for the prisoner
in the Circuit Court of Fayette county.
Kys moved to quash the Indictment for
the reason that the grand jury which
found it was selected by virtue of a State
law from white citizens of the county
exclusively, in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the Federal Constitution,
The motion to quash was overruled,
and the ruling was sustained in
the State Court of Appeals. This
court, however, reverses the Judgment
of the latter, and holds that the motion to
quash should have been granted, for the
reason that the State had twice enacted
laws inconsistent with the fourteenth
amendment, and it must be presumed
that the officers to whom was committed
the selection of the jury in the case acted
in conformity with these unconstitutional
State laws in discriminating against col
ored persons. Opinion by Mr.. Justice
Harlan. Jutices Field, Gray and the
Chief Justice dissenting.
