JUNE ?? IT79, iflKDHES$K$ Tli? Jury-Law Debate. Tberc wa* a very interesting debate In tfce Senate last Friday on tbe bill to repeal tbc Infamous Federal law oxcludinj? Con federate soldiers and others from juries whenever a vile tool oiT tbe Administra tion chooses to exclnde fbetn. Would tbat we hod room for it. Vc have read it jn tbe official Record because the New York papers had represented that the Republi cans had sained a j?reat victory in tbat de bate, and had shown up the bill in such a manner as .to make tbe Democratic senators *lck of It. Well, as usual, these statements were Republican falsehoods. There was some plain talk. Hear the Senator from Kentucky^: Mr. BECK : I do not like to vote against the motion raude by tbe Judiciary Commit tee} but it seems to roe tbat when we have j before-Msa bill whose purpose is to annul 3 ? law that was fraudulently inserted into tbe Revised Statute* we can set on it directly. 3 use tbe word ** fraudulently " on purpose, because it was done fraudulently. The roan ?who put it there, whoever he was, knew when he inserted section 820 that It was a repealed law, and there was no possibility ?of his not knowing it, and any man who reads tbe statutes is obliged to sea- it. Mr. Beck does not seem to have been con scious that his party friends had come out at the little end of the horn. But let the Ohio Senator sound his bugle. Tin mi, CoxKuxG over the knuckles as follows: i< We are earnest men in this business, we kuuw tnatttie jury laws as they now exist are used for partisan purposes. We lenow that as they arc administered tbey are a disgrace to the so-called adminis tration of justice. We are in dead earnest that that evil shall be remedied, even ir it be necessary to sutler the mortification of the taunts of the Senator from New York. I hope we can survive plenty of that kind of medieine. Even if it be necessary to do that, we, as practical men, are willing to see that mere sophistry at this end of the avenue shall not be reechoed from the other end of the avenue. That is all there is of it. If the Senator from New York thinks that God has crowned him with such sur passing intellect, and that the study of the law has made him the very embodiment of the code of Justinian. Coke's Institutes, all the English statutes, and the American stat utes, too, that he has breakfasted 011 Black stone's Commentaries, taken lunch on Kent, dined ou Story, and taken as a slight re lection before he retired to bed John Mar shall's decisions, let him live in that happy atmosphere of self-esteem; 1 will not at tempt in the slightest degree to mar one single particle of his self-satisfaction. 1 even agree that he may loom over me, a much older lawyer than he is, like one of those genii in the Arabian Nights, who when the cork was taken out of the bottle rose out, away up ?o the clouds, to the utter amazement and astonishment of all behold ers. Let it be so as long as he pleases, but be shall not prevent me as a practical legis lator from attempting to remove the peb bles that he throws iu my path when I have a march to make." Of course these extracts do not touch the , merits of the question. We give them as a part of the by-plav. Mr. Edmwcds's speech is one of the sharp est, brightest, and most ingeniously diaboli cal that we ever read. Why, he is a very 31 EPiiisTOriiiLES. And, withal, he is the mildest-mannered man that ever cuta throat or scuttled a ship. Such demonstrations of respect for Democratic senators, such apol ogies, if anybody so much as imagined that he had uttered an unsenatorial word; such mock courtesy as was never before shown in the Senate chamber? these are the char acteristics of the Vermont Senator's speech? these, coupled with the most outrageous attempts to mislead the country n? to southern people and the southern laws. And this reminds us that Mr. Thcrman skinned the President. We qaote : " Mr. President, sometime ago, when the bill prohibiting military interference with elections was under consideration, the Sen ator from Vermont delivered an elaborate and carefully-prepared speech. For rea sons beyond my control I was compelled to be absent from the Semite while he was speaking, but I carefully read his speech as soon as it appeared in the Record , and ?when I read it, it did seem to me, to my poor comprehension, that his misinterpretation of that bill, his misinterpretation of what would be the effect of passing that bill which simply blotted out from the statutes v the power of the President to use the army to keep the peace at the polls, and did no thing more, was intended for nothing more, and upon no fair interpretation could be made to effect anything else? his misinterpretation of that bill, by which bo made it to appear, as it seemed to those who believe in everything he sav?, that if that bill passed the President could not even defend the public property in the city of New York, the custom-house or the post-office, on the day of election, that he could not proteet any public property any where, at any cross-roads iu the country on the day of electton? I say when 1 read that 1 did thiuk that the sophistry (if I may use that word without offence) of that speech was so transparefttthat it could impose upon nobody. But yet to my amazement I found that that was the substratum, the bed-rock, the everything, caput et pedes , and corpus too, of a certain document that we got from the other end of ttw> avenue in a few days. "Now, Mr. President, the Senator from Vermont is repeating* the same performance I fear. He is generating a new veto mes sage. That is the whole meaning of it. He is furnishing sophistries tor the people who are not smart enough to iuveut them them selves. in order that they may come back bere by a sort of gnm>3 of battledore and shuttlecock from the other end of the ave nue.' That is all there is of it, ifi my bumble judgment." Again : After being called to order, Mr. Thurman said : " 1 *aid that bills have been vetoed be cause in my opinion the President has been coerced. Coerced how? By duress, which 1 ueed not tell the Senator trom Vermont meaus personal violence? No, sir, nobody "understood me so. Coerced how ? Co ?ereed because, in my judgment, and I am willing to go to my death upon it, the Sen ator from Vermont and the representatives in this chamber on the Republican t?ide by the course they took on those bill.^ by leav ing the merits of the subject, by raising the flag of the revolution, by waving the bloody abirt, by talking about this being a question between Recession and the Union, and by the whole course Ihty pursued upou that .subject, made a man ? I will not say a weak anan, for I mean to be respectful to tbe Ex ecutive? veto the bin* which if left to his own judgment he would i*ot have vetoed at ail. And therefore I say tiiat your course did ccerce him. I say that si you had argued those bills ui>on their merlta, if you bad said nothing upon ti'em but what was tbeir merits, if you bad not made this whole session ring with an at tempt to arouse sectionalism U* the North against the people of tbe SoJtb.if ibis whole session on your side bad not been to a great extent an effort to perj?eti'iate bad blood between the sect ions, you never would bave had any veto of these bills. "If I was out of order before, perhaps I am more out or order now; but I will die in that belief." These are only a brick or two taken out of a large edifice. Head fie Ohio Democratic platform over -again. The Cincinnati Enquirer says it was written bj air. Thubiux himself, andt adopted by fbe Conveation without change Jo#* ward or it. 'i& ; ' - The SUv^&m--Smali Notes. : ^ The bill rec^pny pastel by Congress pro* ! siding for ffie exchange of subsidiary cob for lawful money, and Jo make such coins a legal tender in ail sums not exceed ing ten dollar*, was signed hy the Presi dent on Monday. It is a good law. It pats all the gilver coins on an equality. Silver cannot become troublesome hereafter, be cause anybody c*n get greenbacks for it from tbe Treasurer or any assistant treasu rer of the United States. Even the aboojl nable little three-cent silver cotns may be disposed of In the same way. Or any silver coius less than a dollar may be used, like the silver dollars, or like any other legal tender caoney, in paying any debt, public or private, which does not exceed ten dol lars. We trust rbat there will be hereafter no more complaints made concerning these coin?. Small notes arc said to be very scarce? so much so that editors lose a good many subscribers in consequence of the inability of country people to procure them. Mr. Skrrmax recently announced tbat he would give small notes in exchange for other mo ney at the Treasury in Washington. lioth these matters the banks will no doubt attend to for the public. Goon Times Comfno. ? The money article in the New York Herald of Monday says : u The palmy days are returning to New York real estate. If any one doubts it let him go to the Exchange ant/, use his ears, or traverse the upper portion of the island and use his eyes. In the former place he will find real-estate brokers overrun with business, and hear ot" vast r.?rofits reaped by shrewd and patient speculators. He will learn of Immense sales and larire improve ments, and hear men talk of ti>? time rrhon Manhattan Island, from end to end, shall bo one solid work of masonry." We hope soon to hear our real-estate men "crowing" in a similar strain. It is time tbat real estate had taken a turn. It has been dull long enough. But these spells of inactivity and shrinkage do not and cannot last many years. The reaction is sure to come; and come let us trust it soon will in .Richmond. " Larere s'reams from little fountains now," Tull oaks from little acorns prow." And the exodus of a few negroes to Kan sas?not half as many as there are now in this city? raised the price of cotton, pre vented a crash in the commercial circles of London, and consequently of all the world, and "enabled banks and speculators to escape in part from a perilous position." Let us have another exodus. * An Appeal.? Wc received yesterday the following note: Richmond, Va., June 9, 1379. For goodness sake spare your readeis the accounts of the college commencements. They arc only interesting to a very few, and they know the results without reading it in the JJLspatch. What will "the boys" think of tbat? And what's the use of commencement ex ercises if they arc not to be reported ? "They have made a desert and called it peacc." The northern papers all speak of Garrison as if bis so-called "life-work" bad benefited somebody.

EXAMINATION OF MR. Vlf'KKRS? -COLORED WOMAN DROWNED? A YOUNG MAN KILLED? TUE VISIT OF RICHMOND MILITARY AND KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ; COURTESIES SHOWN THEM, &C. |Corr<s>poudcucs ol the Richmond Disnntch.] Jioco 10. 1870. In the Circuit Court of Petersburg to-day the case of Edward Viekers vs. The City of Manchester (being a suit to recover ?8,000) was called. At the suggestion and by agreement of counsel the Court ordered a | special jury to try the issue, and then took a recess until 12 o'clock to give the ser geant time to summon the jurors. At 12 o'clock the jurors were sworn in, when, at the suggestion of counsel, a fur ther recess until 2 o'clock was taken in order to allow the Court, counsel, jurors, and witnesses to get lunch before going regularly into the trial. A very intelligent jury of luisiuess-men have the case in charge. Messrs. John E. Taylor, of Man chester, and James Neeson and A. M. Keiley, of Richmond, are counsel for the plaintiff, and Messrs. T. M. Loaan and George D. Wise, of Richmond, and Charles | S. Stringfellow, of Petersburg, arc counsel i for defendant. At 2 o'clock 51 r. Viekers was put on the witness-stand, and was kept there for four hours, after which the court adjourned until to-morrow morning. It is thought the trial of the ease will consume three or four days. The body of a colored woman named Jennie Bragg, aged twenty-five years, was found in the forebay at Williams's mill this afternoon. She left her home some time during Saturday night while laboring under mental deraovement. and, it is supposed, walked inlo the canal. Nothinsr was heard of her until her body was found floating in the water. She had been several times heard recently to say that she was going to be baptized, and the theory is that she went to the water under the delusion* that she was to receive the ordiuance, and there met her death. # A telegram was received by Mr. E. E. Hartley, of this city, this morning bringing the painful intelligence that his brother, Mr. W. G. Hartley, aged about twenty-four years, had been killed by an accident oc curring at the saw-mill of which he had charge, near Waverlv, in Sussex county. The deceased was a most worthy young man, and his death is much regretted. The Walker Light Guard and Uniform Division Knights of Pythias, of Richmond, attracted much attention during their visit to our city yesterday. The former were the guests of the Petersburg Grays, and the latter the guests of Uniform Division, No. 3, of Petersburg. This division numbers some thirty or forty members, with uni forms complete, but it has not yet been in stituted, and consequently could not pa rade yesterday ana as an organization take part in the memorial services. However, the visiting Knights' found warm and true friends in their bre thren here, aud were the recipients of eyery hospitality and courtesy. The Rich mond military were dined at Jarratt's Hotel. The parade in the afternoon was a' very fine one, and the scene a solemnly-in teresting one as the soldiery and Knights of Pytfaias marched through the cemetery and aroucd "Memorial Hill" with slow step and arras reversed. It is possible that our Memorial-day may be changed to au earlier date, so as to get the advantage of a greater number of flowers; and it is probable that hereafter we shall have a more formal pro gramme ol ceremonies. Robin Adair. DANVILLE f Corresjwideuce of the Richmond Dispatch.] June 10, 1879.
