Negroes Are Protected.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Feb. 20.-In the cases
OF several persons arrested during the
recent state election for alleged intimida-
tlon OF negro voters. Judge Evans In the
united States court overruled the de-
murrer of the defendants, which brought
into question the jurisdiction of the fed
eral court. Judge Evans held that con.
gress passed section 55O7 Of the United
States statutes to protect the colored
people in their right of suffrage and Sec
ton 55OS was passed to prevent persons
from conspiring to injure and oppress
thus insuring this class of voters the free
exercise of their right of franchise: that
congress had the power to pass such laws
as the only real guarantee Of liberty. and
that 1t was the duty of the court to see
that the provisions of the statutes were
enforced,
