Mr.. keT'5 opening argument IN the star route
case, which was closed on Friday, is universally
regarded by the member RS OF the bar as an effort
OF extraordinary vigor and power. II occupied
seven days and was devoted to the development and
calculation or the material facts shown by the evil
dence, which covers nearly 5000 printed pages.
There never has teen triad before jury In this
country any case of equal magnitude, and none,
certainly, whose effects viii be more searching,
ali-pervading and important, and counsel seem to
rise FULLY up to the occasion. With great SIM
plicity OF style. clearnes5 and coo SenesS of ex-
preston, aad with no tarnish OF ornament, Mr..
ker picked out the prominent facts and laid the
testimony bearing upon them before the jury Ia its
natural OTier, showing how each fact and action
charged against the dcfen tants fitted into every
other, so that their combined operation should
produce the result OF the conspiracy. The facts
presented In this exceptionally able argument, so
harmon!zet and combined with one another, as to
compel every who heard IL TO the conviction that
such things never cOull by any possibility have oc-
CURED from accident, and must have been in exc

to be carried through for the peculiarly advantage
OF the participants Mr.. Ker clio ed with pero-

We must again ask the question. What. from

blacks numerically will so far exceed the whites

wealth and intelligence of the latter now give

States is improving, its improvement. as was to
have been expected. is slow; and In every politi-
cal virtue it will still be vastly below the whites
when in voting strength its fecundity will have
put it vastly beyond them-so far beyond as to
overcome every counter-inHuence, and give the
political rens entirely into Its hands
Who can doubt that, when this day comes.

their surroundings will have powerfully tended
