''wlTHOUT JURISDICTION"

THE United States Circuit Court in
session in this city, with Chief-Justice
MELVILLE w FULLER Democracy and
Judge EDMUND WADDILL, JR., (Repub-
hcan) unanimously denied the applica-
ton of Hon. JOHN S. WISE of New
York and JAMES II. HAYES, ESQ, of
this city, represent ting the complainants
for writ of prohibition against the
State Board of Canvassers to prevent
the canvassing of the vote of the state
under the new Constitution.
We are free to confess that the result
was no surprise to us as the same had
been foreshadowed in these columns.
This court is composed of two judges of
the Republican persuasion and one
Democrat, Judge NATHAN Corr did
not preside although he had an un-
doubted right and 1t was his duty, we
think, so TO do. AS the case stood,
1t was impossible for the state
OF Virginia to lose as long as Chief
Justice FULLER held out Counsel for
'complainantsw were accordingly playing a
losing game, which has been properly de-
nominated, up against loaded dice The
court decided that it had no jurisdiction
even though the state constitution was
In conformation TO the Constitution of
the United States, and Chief-Justice
FULLER openly declared that this view
of the matter had been passed upon and
decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This was cold comfort for the peti-
'tioners. In other words, the doctrine is
enunciated that the state is sovereign
and it cannot be made to comply with
the plain DEGREES of the Constitution of
the United States, which, so far as a
state is concerned, is of secondary inn
portance
1t is needless to ask our opinion of
such a ruling. We have expressed il
time and again. If States or parties
ruling state can violate the Federal
Constitution with IMMUNITY, what use is
the aforesaid Federal Constitution?
Still, more outrageous decisions have
been rendered by this same tribunal.
We read in history that this same
body composed of other men under the
nestorship of Chief Justice TANEY de-
clared that Negroes had no rights that
white men are bound to respect.
Chief-Justice FULLER seems To be of
the same opinion. For our part, we
have warned our people against build.
ing their hopes upon any such found
atoms The tide is against us and we
must bide our time. We can secure
more justice, such as it is, from these
white men among whom we live than
we can from these distinguished hypo-
critics who give out lengthy disserta-
hons upon the rights Of mankind.
When we wish to make contests to
ascertain our rights under the law, we
are going to the Supreme Court OF Ap-
peals of Virginia, feeling satisfied that
we will find distinguished jurists who
viii have the nerve and the hardihood
to do what they believe to be right

whether it be for us or against us

/ Whether IL be Tor us or against us.
There is one trait about the native,
aristocratic white Virginian, he never
deserts friend Most of our troubles
come from the hands Of this mongrel
white element who never owned slave
and never knew the value of one.
For our part, we are sick and tired OF
experimenting.
Hon. JOHN S WISE hurried to Wash
ington and made AN effort TO shut Con
gresham elect GLASS out of Congress.
lie is said that he was accompanied by
Mr. HAYES This "court" did have
jurisdiction, but it fatty refused to ex-
ercise it and kindly postponed the event
until after its own death, kindly assur-
ing Mr.. Wise that another Congress
which was undergoing the period of
CESSATION and would soon be born would
no doubt heed his appeal and do what
it had declined to do.
Mr.. WISE is reported to have said
that he was the only friend the Negro
had left. If this be true, what is to be-
come of the cases to be taken before the
And-Negro Supreme Court of the I'm
tied States? For our part, we are not
cast down or disappointed. The agita-
ton may do us much harm now, but it
viii do us much good no doubt in the
f tre.
We have abiding faith in some of
these southern white mems sense of
justice. They are at times treating
us to genuine surprises Judge b. II.
WEXFORD, JR., of the Circuit Court is a
monument of justice and his successor,
Hon. r. CARTER SCoTT Will pass mus
ter before any court in the land.
Gov. A. j. MONTAGUE is a genuine
Virginia product. That he could be
evolved out of this mass of political cor
ruption now sweeping over the state is
a wonder. He has conscientiouslyl lived
up to his oath of Office and administered
the duties thereof without any regard
for the prejudices of the hour, when
dealing with vital questions.
His position in opposition to lynch
law has been worthy of all commenda
ton. He has the back bone to meet an
issue and not to evade it on the plea of
no jurisdiction. But to the subject un-
der discussion: 1t is too late to
criticise the efforts of the able coun-
sci. They no doubt did the best they
could We shall be forced to follow
along the usual lines marked out by the
colored brother. When there is "a sea
in front, host behind and rocks ON
either hand" he drops down on his
knees and looks to God, who will
bring all things right in His own
time"
We have been cruelty deserted by our
supposed friends, but let us work out
our OWE salvation and cease this wal,
fare upon ourselves. Although some
people may think so, all Of our white |
friends are not yet dead, and God and |
our own good behaviour will raise mp
others for us.
Colored men, the command to the |
Hebrews comes laundering to Us
through the centuries and may vet
prove again rallying cry to similarly
people:
Speak unto the children of Israel |
hat they go forwardl"
