yIRGINIA'S CONSTITUTION.
Its Legality Beine Argued Before the
T.. S. Supreme Court.

Washington D. C. April "A large
number Of negroes were present in
the United States Supreme court to-
day to listen to the arguments in the
affecting the constitutionality of
the Virginia election law. which was
designed to exclude negroes from vo-
ting. Two cases were argued to-
with William II. Jones and
and William S. Selden and
Others.
All the seats available for standing
room behind the bar of the our
Iwere occupied by negroes and there
was a row extending from the door
lof the court along the corridor into
the rotunda of the capital. Many Of
them were women. who seemed to
show as much interest in the case as
1.-THE men.
! Mr.. Wise occupied the greater
part Of the day and was followed by
Hon. William Anderson, attorney
general of the state Of Virginia, who
had scarcely begun his argument
when h our adjourned.
Summarizing his case at h close
lof his address, Mr.. Wise commended
llIIdl III flESlIld COIlSIIulIOn WAS
null, because the by which
lit was adopted was never organized
land because the instrument was never
submitted to a vote Of the people OF
the state. The constitution was, he
declared. in contravention of the Fed
leral constitution and he urged upon
1.-THE court the importance OF the case
Ito the colored people, saying that
with them it was a question Of liberty
(which they believed to be guaranteed
by the federal statutes. IF" he said,
I"there is no protection for them here
then all their pretended vested rights
Iare but as sounding brass and a tink-
ling cymbal."
True, he said, they would be citi-
Izens. with the obligation Of citizens,
Subject to be called upon to perform
1.-THE service of such. but in no posi-
ltion to claim the advantages of citi-
lzenship, and without any right to
iclaim protection of Ia avs Of the
Hand.
In the few words uttered before adj
Hournment, Attorney General Ander-
son entered upon a contention to
lprove hat the suit was in reality a
proceeding against the state, while
!. processing to be directed only at its
Officials. He took issue with Mr.
lWiSe's contention that the new conSt
tuition was i~rregularly adopted and ir
spite Of his argument, presented {
vast array of facts bearing upon thu
faction of the constitutional conyen
ltion. Mr.. Anderson will conclude to-
morrow.
