THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

The,Norfolk Virginian and Pilot quotes
from the Virginia Bin Of Rights in order
TO fortlfy a certain position which tt has
taken. we are surprised that our con-
temporary should quote from that time
bonored instrument. 1t is only few
DAYS ago. that the Virgnian and Pilot UNI
dertook to justify lynchng in spite OF
the fact that the Virginia Bill Of Rights
provides that every man who has been
accused of crime shall be regularly tried
bv "a Jury Of his peers. We contend that
that instrument is binding in every par
ticular. or It is binding I'm none and that
II its provision are TO be suspended IN
one instance there IS no knowing where
the abuse will be stopped
We cannot with any degree Of con-
sistency defy the Bill Of Rights ono day
and the next day quote its provisions
I'm support of our contentious. The Viz
rinian and Pnoi cannot fairly claim 90
be- n champion Of the Virginia Bill of
Rights. so long as it openly advocates "a
gross violation of one of its most sacred
provisions. Take from Virginia citizen
The right Of q fair trial when accused of
crime. grant that any man may be de-
prlved Of his life or his liberty by mob
without due process OF law and our whole
system of law becomes q farce and "a
mockery. We cannot serve two masters.
Either the law must rule ana must be
supreme. or the mob viii rule.
