THE CAMPBELL VERDICT

The verdict of the House Com
mittee On Courts of Justice III
unanimously recommending the
removal Of Judge c. j. Campbell
from the bench of Amherst county,
was no surprise to those who have
followed the evidence. Any other
conclusion, it seems, would have
been impossible. 1t was shown
that Judge Campbell's character
was such as to bring discredit o.:
the judiciary of Virginia, and we
believe that the committee would
have been justified in bringing in
verdict of impeachment.
The report is now in the hands
of the Legislature, and it is hoped
that that body will declare in 10
uncertain way for his removal.
Already the House has put itself on
record against him. 1t is wit!
much pleasure we note that the two
delegates from Rockbridge voted
to uphold the report of the COM

WHITE MEN WILL RULE

Hon. A. T.. Braxton of Staunton
was one of The speakers at the
seventeenth annual banquet OF
the New York Southern Society
held at the Waldorf-Astoria on
February Dist. He responded to
the toast, George Washington,
and throughout his able and
eloquent speech he was frequently
applauded.
Mr.. Braxton took occasion to
refer TO race conditions in the
South as viewed from Southern
standpoint. His address was
widely copied and commented on
by the daily press. Possibly not
since the lamented Henry W.
Grady of Georgia, delivered his
eloquent address in New York in
December, 1886, before the New
England Society on "The Con-
federate Soldier" has a Southern
orator made such profound i'm
preston in the North. On the
question of race supremacy Mr..
Braxton said, in part:
No white man believes in the
Fifteenth Amendment, save as II
theory to be applied to some other
mans case. The loudest advocates
of its application to the South
stood aghast when they met it
face to face in the city Of Wash
ington, in the State of California,
and in our new insular possessions.
1t is wrong in principle, it is i'm
possible of enforcement where the
inferior race is numerous, it is
demoralizing to the negro, it is
corruptlng to the white man. TO
abandon that ignorant and helpless
race to their own devices and con-
troll would be the greatest cruelty; |
to set them up as rulers over the |
race that produced Washington and |
Lee would be a crime against
nature and a sin against God.
The Southern people entertain
act the slightest animosity against
5he negro. They are the best
friends he ever had. His con-
lition in the South today is far
better, his opportunities for moral
md material improvement are far
greater than in any other country
lpOn the face of the earth, and
zone of the rights guaranteed to
lin under the Fourteenth Amend
nent, as it was understood when
dopted, are either denied o.
to him there. But,
While all this is true, still in the
Outh, just as every where else in
he world, white men are unaltera-
ly resolved that, come what may,
o black, red nor yellow men shall
yer rule over them or their
hildren so long as time shall roll.
his is the decree of nature which
0 human statute can reverse. :
here is but one way to make laws s
} govern white men, and that is Z
, first kill all the white men. i

Report Adverse to Judge Camp
bell.

The case of Judge G. j. Camp
bell of Amherst county, which ia
attracted wide attention, wa
taken up in the House of Delegate
Monday. Although u hot ant
spirited fight was made for him by
his friends that all charges shoulC
be stri :ken out except the two OF
which the committee was unan
imous, they lost by the decisive
vote of 30 to 81. The matter i,
now in the Senate, having beer
disposed of in the House.
The judiciary committee sub
mitted two reports to the Legis-
lature on Friday last, as the result
of the long and sensational in
vestigation of the charges of i'm
proper conduct against Judge
Campbell. The committee reported
unanimously for his removal, al
though their conclusions were
reached by different methods of
reasoning. The committee de
clined to consider the charges
relating to Judge Campbell's
political actions prior to January
1900.
The majority report was signed
by Messrs. Early, Gent, Davis,
Lee, Lion, Sipe and Waddy, and
their findings were based upon the
following specifications:
In regard to the charges relating
to the liquor cases at Amherst, the
committee finds that he showed
reckless disregard of the law, and
collision with S. A. Day.
Unable to punish Rev. G. H.
Crawford for contempt by process
of law, he determined to resort to
personal violence, and was, there
fore, guilty of gross judicial i'm
propriety and conduct absolutely
unbecoming a judge.
He was guilty of gross judicial
improperly in selecting Judge K.
A. Wood to preside at his trial
under the circumstances.
The improper prosecution of
A. ID. Beard as commissioner Of
the revenue for certain district
of Amherst county, was using his
official position and power for the
qualification of his personal ami
mostly against Beard, growing out
Of Boards active participation in
the adverse criticism of Campbell's |
action in assaulting Dr. Craw-
lord.
The minority report dissents
rom the majority in some particu-
ars, the most important being the
iecision that Campbell wrongfully
instructed the grand jury that it
vas not unlawful to sell medicated
whisky. The minority report
vas signed by Messrs. Southall,
jardwell, Sebrell, Smith, Allen
nd Duke,
