The plan pro posed is said to be t lie getting togetner of -th Democratic members ot the Legislature, the appointment ot a com mittee, and the sending out of an invi tation to the recognized leaders and wise men of the party to meet in Al bany at an early day for consultation. It is stated that the plan would have been developed in detail before now but for the fact that the Kings county delegation, which is recognized now as one of the most important factors in State politics, have been backward in defining their opinion's opposition. The change of front, recently made by the organ of the KiDgs county Democracy and its enthusiastic advocacy of Han cock for President, is commented upon as a very significant fact in connection with the proposed effort to effect unity and harmony.

A GREAT HISTORIAN'S LOVE. An Episode in tne Life of Gibbon How He LiOtst the Too Tender and Too Frank Heart of Suzanne Cur ctol. The youth of the great English histo rian presents two very remarkable epi sodes. In the first, the boy was sent from Oxford to Switzerland to cure him of his professed religious opinions. In the other, the lad was called from Swit zerland to England to eliminate a love affair from his heart. In each case he was controlled by the stern dictum of his father, who succeeded by uprooting Catholicism from his creed, in drivii g religion from his Dener, ana who con trived by eradicating marriage from his thoughts, in exiling love from his soul. So that young Gibbon grew up without piety or passion. The truth, already intimated, is that while among the Alps love came to Gibbon as the bird to the princess in the tower, and upon a fair Swiss maiden, who turned out to be a noble woman, he poured out all the ardor and tenderness of his na ture. She became the light of his young life, and around her image as well as under her influence, we cannot doubt that some of the brightest thoughts and purest sentiments of the great wri-ter's-Iife clustered. For who can esti mate the influence of such emotion in refining an earnest, impressionable na ture, and in directing and intensifying ambition and ability the world is full of such instances, and one need not re cur to the life of Gibbon to mark this bright tracery of love. Opposed in this affair by his father, however, Gibbon was finally recalled to his home, and al though, he freely assured his trusting and devoted iuamorata that naught but parental objection kept them asun der, private records seem to show that the young Gibbon was too easily con trolled by his father, and that his heart less conduct in renouncing Suzanne Curchod was chargeable largely to his own fickleness and selfishness. True it is, that when his conduct was such as to excite the suspicion of his be trothed as to his sincerity, he warmly defended himself in well rounded phrases and high sounding rhetoric, showing more good composition, how ever, than deep feeling. Some time later, Gibbon was moved to break off his engagement, in which letter he de picted himself as broken hearted, and indulged in much exaggerated, grief. Still believing that he was making a sacrifice for the sake of his father, the devoted girl cherished him only as ci true woman can, and when some years after Gibbon's cold meeting with her smote her very soul, she wrote and entreated him to give a complete avow al of Ids indifference that she might be released.-at least of harrowing incerti tude. This letter was returned to her, calling forth some bitterness of re proach, eliciting an answer in which she informed him she had fancied in him a man who had never existed; that he was no more than any other man, and proposed a friendly correspond ence.. This kind offer Gibbon declined on the ground that it would be danger ous to him, and perhaps to both. Sub sequent events assisted this neglect in dissipating all illusion, and in her last letter to him she concludes: "I no longer menace you with the anger of heaven an expression which escaped me hastily but I can assure you without prophetic spirit that you will regret one day the irreparable loss you have suffered in alienating forever the too tender and too frank heart of "Suzanne Curchod." The story is one of trust and sorrow in which the great writer evinced as little of manhood as of considera tion and constancy, and cannot but leave an unenviable blot upon a luminous life. For the woman in question proved not the simple peasant of his father's idea or his own aversion, and the sequel show ed that he had thrown "the precious pearl away, richer than all his tribes." Soon the triumph which surely waits upon virtue and rewards patient merit came to Suzanne.when the orphan of the poor Swiss pastor, who supported her self and her mother by giving lessons in the villages and farms along Lake Geneva, was transformed into the wife of the great French banker, Xecker, and was queen of the most intellectual society in Paris. Two years later she met the truant lover, when he sought an interview with her, and Madame Xecker, writing of the visit to a friend in Switzerland, said that her feminine vanity had never had a triumph so complete and more worthy than in see ing him who had disdained her, return to her gentle, humble, decent, mode3t, a witness of the tenderness of her hus band and an admirer of the opu lence in which she lived. But this wo man was of too high a type and too pure a nature to be content with such a revenge. She frequently met Gibbon in fashionable society, of which both were celebrities, treated him kindly, and they finally were fast friends. She became the mother of Madame DeStael, and the ancestress of the Broglies, and other distinguished descendants of that famous literary woman. He arose as one of the greatest historians of the eighteenth century, and we cannot but hint that the fruits of sorrow on the one side and the pangs of remorse on the other may have heightened as it chas tened the lives of both. Suzanne Curchod probably lost nothing when she married Necker, but doubless Gib bon's morality would have been more profound and his cynicism less pro nounced had he wedded his early love. As it was, he never mated, and, despite his splendid talent and rare achieve ments, his life must have been one of the many illustrated in those inimitable lines: 'The mind has a thousand eyes, the soul but one. Yet the light of a whole life dies when love is done." Colored Jurors. Washington, March 2. A decision was rendered in the Supreme Court of the United States this afternoon in the case of Taylor Strander", plaintiff in er ror, vs. the State ot west V irginia. Tne question involved was the constitution ality of the act of the West Virginia Legislature, (laws of 1872-73, chap. 47,) excluding colored citizens from jury service in the courts of that State. This court holds that when a colored citizen is tried for his life by a jury from which citizens of his own race are by a State statute expressly excluded, he is denied the equal protection of law guaranteed by the third clause of the 14th amend ment to the constitution, and that the State statute denying him such right is repugnant to said constitutional provis ion. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia is reversed. Justice Strong delivered the opinion, Justices Field and Cliff ord dis senting. Over One Half.
