"A, Forth .,

= WASHINGTON. D. c.. January IL
Two cases involving the franchise rights
fof the colored male adults of the State of
Virginia under the new Constitution OF
that State have been docketed in the
Supreme Court of the United States by
John S. Wise. The cases originated In
the United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, land were
adversely passed upon last November.
Chief. Justice Fuller being on the bench
at that time.
One case was an application for a
writ of prohibition, and the other an q p
plication for writ of Injunction the
purpose in both instances being TO have
me court prohibit the Virginia State Can
wasting Board from canva ssing the vote
for. Congressman at the last general cleo
ton, on the ground that the restrictions
placed upon voters by the new State Con-
stitrtion are in contravention o. ..,e Fed
eral Constitution.
The first case was a proceeding In law
and the second one In equity. but the
court refused to entertain eitEeros them,
alleging that 1t was without jurisdiction.
as the cases were POLITICAL and the State
itself must necessarily be a party to the
proceedings.
In his assignment Of error IL bringing
the cases to the Supreme Court, Mr.. Wise
attempts to controvert these points. He
contends for the jurisdiction of the court.
and on the point as to State interest,
says: 1.-The subject OF the prayer wa $
not to compel the State to do anything,
but to prohibit the officers of the State
from violating plain duty..ssSs

says: Petitioners BY counsel. in view OF
the Importance OF this case. will, upon
Its hearing petition the honorable. the

leave to discuss the subject freely. and

fined 10 the specifications OF error Sc,
