The suggestion that the California

A PRELIMINARY OBJECTION.
Attorney Johnson Says the Bruners
Were Not Retained.
Why the Burr-"'Bee'' Suit Did Not
observation-disclosures for the
District Attorney.

When the suit of E. \. Burr VS.. the
Board of Supervisors was called in Su-
periOr Judge Van Fleets court yester-
day, the attorneys for both sides-Grove
l.. Johnson for Burr, and Bruner IL Bru-
ner and Deputy District Attorney Buck
ley for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that
they were ready.
Counsel for the Supervisors demurred
to Burr's petition for a writ Of review,
and moved to quash the proceedings, and
were about to give their reasons when
Mr.. johnson interrupted them in order
to put in a preliminary objection" His
objection was that neither the District
Attorney nor the Bruners had been
authorized to appear for the Supervisors.
He generally took it for granted, he said,
when attorneys sign their names to
papers filed in case, that they
WERE THE ATTORNEYS
in such case; but in this case, inasmuch
as there had been so much talk about
other people signing papers, he wanted
the records straight. Besides, he had
been informed that none of the gentle
men named had been authorized to APP
pear for the board.
Elwood Bruner stated that he and his
brother had been retained by the Chair
man of the Board of Supervisors, but il
there was to be any question about it he
was willing to let the case go over for q
day or two in order that the matter might
be settled.
Mr. Johnson asked to have the records
of the Supervisors brought into court.
Mr.. Bruner said there was no need OF
doing this. He would admit that the
! records did not show that he had been
employed. But he had been spoken tc
outside OF the board by the Chairman
and he was now desirous that the court
| he fully informed before hearing the suit.
1t was a question that should be settled Il
there was any doubt about it.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY DID IT.
At this iuncture Deputy District Attor-
ney Buckley stated the District Attorney
was the legal adviser of the Board o1
Supervisors, and he had also employed
the Bruners to assist him in the case.
Mr.. Johnson said the District Attorney
had no such power.
All hands then consulted the County
Government Act and Judge Van Fleet
! stated that If the District Attorney had
retained the Burners that was sufficient.
Mr.. Buckley said he knew such to be
the case.
The court then ordered the attorneys to
proceed with the case.
Mr.. Bruner, however, said he had also
been retained by the Supervisors, and he
desired TO show this before proceeding
further with the case He wanted to
satisfy Mr.. Johnson as well as the court,
and requested a continuance.
Mr.. Johnson said he would not object
to continuance, SC an order to thatetfect
was made.
This suit is the one in which Burr dis
putes the legality Of the Bees bill for
advertising the delinquent tax list, and
wants the money paid back into the
County Treasury.

The President, in his message, alludeR
to the effectiveness and inadequacy of
the laws relating to crimes against
chastity in the District of Columbia.
He says further: IA stringent code up
on this subject has been provided by
Congress for Utah, and it is matter of
surprise that the needs of this District
should have been 80 long overlooked"
We are of the opinion that the above
recommendation will be q bomb shell in
Congress. That the same law in refer
ence to chastity should be enforced in
Utah and in the District OF Columbia
would be as amazing as if some crank
should insist that American citizens are

as IN the streets of Valparaiso or in the

1t will be observed that the prevailing

theory of errors will justify rejection OF
the Knoxville and Murfeesboro figures
as abnormal, or in mathematical Ian.
guage doubtful observations" such az
any skillful mathematician would, accor.
ing to the theory of probability, reject.
Then, two of the observations indicate
nearly equality, three indicate the ratio
one to two and two are abnormal. A
mathematician's conclusion from the
above would place the ratio at about one
to one and half per thousand. Such
statistics are often misinterpreted to the
discredit of the Colored race, and the
predictions of it's dying out are largely
based upon them. But, it must be re.
membered that the statistics are not OF
two races under the same, but under
greatly different circumstances. The
poverty of. the Colored man entails the
evil of living in unsanitary localities, ex.
posture to the changes of season, want Of
proper medical attendance, lack of pro-
per attention in childhood and old age
But with his increase and advance in
intelligence and wealth, these evils are
bound to decrease and the death rate
approximate to that of the white man,
Our object is to give what mathemati-
clans would call the most probable re-
suit of the above statistics.

Rev. John j. Smallwood, a Colored
ecturer, is doing much good by his dis.
courses upon the condition of the Col.
ored man now and his condition before
the war. But his statistics are fearfully
inaccurate and need careful revision:
For example, he says: I'm 1866 the
Negro paid taxes on $12 900 worth of
property south of Mason & Dixon's line;
there were but four Negro college grad
yates, and these were from English
colleges; there were no Negro lawyers or
doctors, and but two Negro editors,
Douglass and Langston; they had no
schools and colleges" Each one of the
above statements is grossly incorrect.
In Louisville, KY, where the editor of
The APPEAL was raised, one Colored
man, Washington Spradling, paid taxes
on over 100000 worth of property and
several Colored men paid on over sI2,-
GOO each, Oberlin alone had turned out

Colored editors were Delaney, David
jenkins. Peter NJ. CLARK, Peter Ander-
son, VIM. Howard Day, Jno, P. samp-

A VIRGINIA ANANlAS.

The Richmond Times very oomplo-
Gently gives utterance to the following.
1.-THE Democracy, which is tho white
people Of Virginia, has won for many
years victory after victory, and no effort
has been made to curtail the rights and
privileges of the Negro race under the
laws and constitution. On the contrary
the Colored people have always been
treated with substantial justice, both
in public and private life. and this fact
they have learned to recognize more and
more clearly every year" AS q speci-
men of downright, fatfooted, lying, the
above compares very favorably with the
best efforts Of Joe Mulhatton, Rider
Haggard or Baron Munchausen. Vir-
ginia has exhausted her ingenuity in
devising plans to curtail the "rights and
privileges of the Afro-American race"
