APECULTAR VERDICT.

We have had frequent occasions
to refer To the inequalities of the law
and the remarkable verdicts OF iu-
rles. The following extract from the
Richmond, Va, STATE of the 18th
inst, is a case In point
..In the Henrico Co, Court today Van
Perkins alias Black Diamond was found
gnilfv of assault on Misses Louisa and
| Matre Bolton and sentenced to twelve
months in jail. Two uncles OF tue young
ladies testified that the accused was at
work on their farm some distance away
from the scene of the assault at the time
the offence was committed.
These prejudiced men go upon the
theory that where a crime has been
! committed by a colored person,
some member of that race, be they
e innocent or guilty must suffer
What other conclusion can be ar
: rived at when the two uncles OF the
= Iladies alleged to have been assaulted
n swore that VAN PERKINS, the mai
# who Is alleged to have assaulted
Il them was not at the place when tn
& offence was committed.
D. What motive could the relative
II have for shielding the colored mar
be when their nieces had been assaulted
as But the jury gravely tells two gel
tlemen that they lied although tt
prisoner says he was not there an
did not commit the offence.

THE CONVICTION OF BROWN.

Barring the cases where Innocent 4
men were convicted OF crimes. the /
case OF RICHARD Brown, colored
charged with securing under threats
the 50 which CHARLES 81. PAGE, his
white employer unlawfully withheld |
will stand without parallel in the
criminal annals of this state. 1t
should not be forgotten that PAGE
was fined 81. In the Police Court o
this city for not having a license up
on ms IrAsE'sI cart which BROWN
drove.
| PAGE deducts the 5000 from
BRowN's wages without the latter's
consent, and upon his demanding all
of his money, threatening bodily In
Jury unless he paid him, he gave him
the So, and then had BROWN arrested
for securing money from the person
under threat.
Brown was tried in the Hastings
Court of Richmond, January 18th,
and a Jury convicted him, ascertain
ling his punishment at five years In
. the penItentiary. On the Monday
following Judge 5. B. Writ set aside
the verdict. But the now thorough
lily spprehensive counsel, f.ariul OF
Jury of this sort came into court
and pleaded guilty TO simple "as

given one year in jail.

the solution Of the so-called cur

and the politicians who are ham

country much service by letting it

The United States bank when it
controlled the finances and was
dominating the politics of this
country, wanted President Jackson
to let it alone,
The French nobility when it

wanted the people to let it alone,
The trusts and tariff barons when
they had secured the privilege of
robbing the American people, wan

The Turks, having power to loot,
outrage and kill the American
christians, want the European
powers to let them alone,
The brigand or burglar engaged
in securing the booty only wants to
be let alone,
"Let it alone" is always the cry
Of the men in wrongful power and
possession, It is the argument of
tyranny and robbery.
