Stye i)orlotte (tobstcott. THURSDAY, MACH 4, 1880 THE 'mracAFcAsiT DECISIONS by THE UNITED STATES SI PllEME COURT. A Writ of Mandamus Ordered to Isue Affalnvt Judge Bive The Writ Ke fuved la the Cae of Judge Coles. Washington, March 1. To-day, in the Supreme Court of the t inted States, the following decisions were render ed No. 3, original. Ex parte Common wealth of Virginia, petitioner, lhis was a petition for a writ of mandamus tocompelJudgeliives, of the United States District Court for the V estern District of Virginia, to restore to the t.nt.fi authorities two colored prisoners, named Reynolds, indicted in the State courts for murder, and taken by Judge Rives out of the possession of the State otticiala and held for trial in the Feder al Court on the ground that they (the prisoners) had been denied in the State tribunals such a trial by competent jurors, without distinction of race or color, as the laws of the State guaran teed to them. The action of Judge Rives in removing the case of the pris oners to the Federal Court was based on section 041 of the Revised Statutes. This court, in a long and carefully pre pared opinion by Justice Strong, con siders that section in connection with sections 1977 and lfJ7S, and holds, lirst, that the object of these statutes, as of the constitution which authorized them, was to' place the colored race in respect of civil rights upon a level with whites. They made the rights and re sponsibilities, civil and criminal, of the two races exactly the same. fcjecond. That the prohibitions of the fourteenth amendment have reference to State action exclusively, vnd not to any action of private individuals. Sec tion 641 was also intended for the pro tection of the colored race against State action, and against that alone. Third. A State may act through dif ferent agencies, either by its legislative, its executive or its judicial authorities, and the prohibitions of the amendment extend to all actions of the State deny ing equal protection of the laws, wheth er it be action bv one of these agencies or by another. Congress, by virtue of the fifth section of the fourteenth amendment, may enforce the prohibi tions whenever they are disregarded by either the Legislature, the executive or the judicial department of the State. The mode of enforcement is left to its discretion. It may secure the right, that is, enforce its recognition by re moving the case from a State court, in which it is denied, into a Federal court, where it will be acknowledged. Fourth. But the fourteenth amend ment is broader than the statute which authorizes the removal. Section G41 does not apply to all cases in which equal protection of the laws may be de nied to a defendant. The removal au thorized by the statute is a removal be fore trial or final hearing. To judicial infractions of the constitutional amend ment made after the trial has com menced section 641 has no applicability. It was not intended to reach such cases They were left to the revisory power of this court. Fifth, Therefore the denial or inabili ty to enforce in the judicial tribunals of a State rights secured to a defendant by any law providing for the equal civil rights of all persons, citizens of the United States, of which section 041 speaks, is primarily, if not exclusively, a denial of such rights, or an inability to enforce them resulting from the con stitution or laws of the State, rather than a denial made manifest at the trial of the case. In other words, the statute has reference to a Legislative denial or an inability resulting from it. Sixth. The constitution and laws of Virginia do not exclude colored citi zens from service on juries. The peti tion for removal, therefore, did not pre sent a case for removal under the 041st section. Seventh. The defendant in this case moved in the State Court that the ve nire be so modified that one-third or some proportion of the jury should be composed of his own race. The denial of that motion was not a denial of a right secured to him by any law providing for the equal civil rights of citizens of the United States, or any statute, or by the fourteenth amendment. A mixed jury in a particular case is not essential to the equal protection of the laws. It is a right to which any colored man is entitled that, in the selection of juries to pass upon his life, liberty or property, there shall be no exclusion of his race, and no discrimination against them be cause of his color. Rut that is a differ ent thing from that which was claimed as of right and denied in the State Court, viz: a right to have the jury com posed in part of colored men. From these principles it follows that the Federal Court has no rightful jurisdiction of the case, and that the writ of manda mus for the restoration of the prison ers to the State authorities must be granted and the Court so orders. No. 4. Original, Exparte. The Com monwealth of Virginia and J. D. Coles, petitioners. This a petition for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari to bring before this court for the Western dis trict of Virginia, upon the charge of ex cluding all colored citizens from jury lists on account of their race, color and previous conditon of servitude, and in violation the act of March 4, 1875. The petitioner alleged that his ar rest and imprisonment upon this in dictment were unwarranted by the constitution of the United States, and in violation of his rights and of the rights of Virginia, whose judicial officer lie is, and that the Inferior Court had no jurisdiction to proceed against him. This court, after a careful examina tion of the act of March 4, 1875, which provides for the trial and punishment of officers who exclude citizens from jury lists on account of race or color, holds that that act is authorized by the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution, for the enforcement of which Congress is given power to pass appropriate legislation. The court also holds the inhibition contained in- the fourteenth amend ment means that no agency of the State, nor of the officers or agents by whom its powers are exerted, shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Who " ever, by virtue of public position under a State government, deprives another of property, Hie or liberty without due process of law, or denies or takes away the equal protection of the laws, vio lates the constitutional inhibition and, as he acts in the name and for the State, is clothed with the Spate's power, his act is that of the State. Otherwise the constitutional inhibition has no mean ing, and the State has clothed one of its agents with power to amend or evade The constitutional amendment was ordained to secure equal rights to all rjereons; and, to insure to all persons the enjoyment of their rights, power was eiven to Congress to enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation. Such legislation must act upon persons, not upon the abstract thing denomina ted a Btote, but upon the persons who ore the agents of tbe4 State in. the de iJL ht which were intended ?tZZZ? firmf, is the act of March it is fully authorized by the J&y$?Z of the defendant inselectoiuwwaa J25wI the State, was bound, in the aiscnarge of bis duties, to obey the Federal con stitution and the laws passed in pursu ance thereof. , The petition for a writ of habeas cor pus is, therefore, denied. J ustice Strong delivered the opinion. Justices Clifiora and Field dissented. SIIABPEIXW THE JLITTI.E ONES. Object-Teacbingr as Followed In ilie Schools of tlie Milling Re?ien. Gold HilHNev.) News. A man never gets an idea of how fast the world moves until he gets out of his own sphere into some other. In order to see how great progress has been made in teaching, he must get in to a modern school room, where the teacher has kept progress with the age of improvements in the methods of im parting instruction. In the Gold Ihll schools everv faculty of the pupil is awakened and sharpened. Even tables of weights and measures in the prima ry classes are taught as object lessons. They have the scales and the weights and the measures right there, and the scholars see that it takes sixteen ounces to make one pound, and two gills to make a pint, etc., up to the gallon. The result is that little children from seven to nine years old will foot up pounds and ounces, and even fractions ot ounces, and give the correct total with o 4-.,;iifu which is surprising, the :imfi is true of measures, including ,.., imits rrills. etc. Rut this is not . li Tiifv :n-p tancrht to form correct Lst'imM.tf.s of the weights of objects. Ti,pv:irp hsmded a book or something r.f 1 lio bind :ill l then 'Stimates of its vvei"ht are taken. Une oi me scuoiais then weighs the object and announces , the result. The importance of this kind of practice in estimating the properties of things will become apparant one ot these dTiys when success in life depend on accuracies of judgment. The abova is cited onlv as one of many ways of sharpening'the perceptive faculties of ; the children. It teaches them to think, and that is, after all, as good a defini tion as can be given of real education. And then, to teach the little ones geogra phy, they are set to world-building, on a small scale. They are furnished with a suitable measure of loam in a fitting re ceptacle furnished with implements and construct ranges of mountains and hills and valleys and plains and can yons and ravines, and to form all the phases presented by the solid part of the earth. Then they go to work and WL HIV' ' - - . run mines, meir smuts never get viy deep nor their tunnels long belore a cave occurs; out trie tneory is exempli fied and thoroughly understood, bucn lessons are never forgotten. Another phase of geography has been, as one might say, practically taught of late, too. The melting snows have made a puddle of water in the back yard, and that is taken a an ocean, and the dry places in it serve for continents and is lands and the like. The little streams of water running in are taken to illus trate the formation of rivers and creeks. The small puddles of water do nicely for lakes, and so the little ones get a ready idea of the big world on which they live from the little world around. There is not a map in the world like that back yard, nor a play ground equal in attractions to their school room. Too .Tliich of a tioBd'thiag. At a party of young people in Paris conversation happened to turn on the subject of kissing, and the question was uorpouned who ot the young men pres ent could boatt of having given or be ing able to give "his girl" the most kiss es. Various were the replies this ques tion brougut out. Finally a young man and the girl to whom he was betrothed bet 200 francs that they could kiss 10,000 times in ten hours, providing they would be allowed to take an occasional glass of wine "between." Tho persons were appointed a committee to count the number of kisses, and the work be gan. During the second hour the kisses were not nearly as numerous, for the committee only counted 1,000. After the third hour, during which they man aged to score but 7o0, further "opera tions were brought to a sudden stand still. The lips of the young man were seized with a cramp, and he was carried oft' in a fainting condition. The girl, a few days later, was striken with brain fever, which nearly carried her off to a land where kissing is unknown. AVhen the people who had won the bet de manded their money the parents of the girl refused to pay her share of it. The matter was then taken to the courts, and there it was decided that the bet must be paid. marriage si ml Divorce. New York cor. HaVs Weekly. The rapid increase in the proportion of divorces to marriages in New En gland is an alarming sign of the times. It is ollicially ascertained that in 1878 there was 1 divorce to every 21 mar riages in Massachusetts; whilst in 1800 it was 1 to every :. In Vermont dur ing the past ten years there has been 1 divorce to every 17 marriages; in Con necticut, 1 to 12; in Rhode Island, 1 to 14. As in Scripture we are told that at the period of the Exodus "there was not a house of the Egyptians where there was not one dead," so in these parts there is hardly a boarding house in which there is not one divorced. Before 1 discovered this, I one day read to a gentleman at a boarding house a paragraph in a morning paper about the number of divorces, when a by stander warned me that the man to whom I had read was the husband of a woman who had been divorced. So when you come North be careful how you speak of divorces. I have before me the MS. of an amusing satire on this subject, which I may publish. It is entitled, "Who is Your Wife J' and i i- ;i. i i. ..X' - iA- nas i or its icx i, i ou liitve mis woman to be your wedded wile till you are divorced."' "You take this man to be your wedded husband till you -change your mind. What Senator Bayard Saft Abant an Old Speech.

Qtes recordeti Ani Amblr: Tbe ThirfiTtrm .Symlica.tr, A Washington dispatch to the New York Herald says; The determination of the Illinois Republican committee to put off the meeting ot the istate con vention until the. 19th of May is felt here to be a very damaging blow to the third term movement. The plan of the third term syndicate, formed while the exPresident was in Philadelphia, and promulgated early in January, was that Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, and Illinois should hold their 'conven- tions very early, and select solid third term delegations for the national con vention, with a view to influencing oth er staf.es The third term movement has, therefore, entirely broken down in two of the States, which, according to the original programme, ncic iu uc o.iv tured early namely, Indiana and Illi nois, the former having elected a strong Blaine delegation), and it has carried two conventions by patronage and machine manipulations by majori ties of 22 on a vote of 246, in one case, and 37 on a vote of 397, in the other, these narrow successes causing in each case immediate and open discontent and division iri t,be party. That is the net result of the third term campaign. Virginia.' Debt. The bill passed by both branches of the Virginia Legislature for establish ing the public credit, known as the Rub. dlebarger bill, reduces the principaHor the State debt from $33,000,000 tb$20, 000 000 bv eliminating capitalized war and reconstruction interest, and fixes the rate of interest at 3 percent. The coupons on the new bonds are not to be receivable for taxes, nor are the new bonds to be exempt from taxaUon. Treasurers of counties and cities lire instructed not to receive coupons ot the present consols and 10-40's for tax es and a scheme for loan certificates is provided. It is intended further to out law the present tax receivable cou pons. The bill was opposed in both houses by the Conservatives, and was carried bv the Readjustee, aided by most of "the Republican members. From Gov: Tlolliday's record on this debt question it is conceded that he will veto the bill, but should he let it be come a law, or, what is equally improb able, should it be passed over his veto, it" will be -submitted to the people at the next election, aud if ratified by them will then, and not until then, become operative. gitteut Xtcliciucs. r.TUTPS n H 25C i 3 Its propirtiss -, :-: :.-.d' ever p.v 1 u.rej" .' i' Gos.ib"i.iWjiiili-i""- : met i tractive L 'J .
