Shade, in Metcalfe county,

sei cef A young negro about
; srs> age, with a general
for Lad habits and vicious-
had been arrested for some mis¬
and upon being examin¬
before 'Squire Morgan, r*pr*»««pt'
himself and demanded a jury of
his own race, which was acceded to
by the magistrate, and a constable
directed to summon a panel of six
colored house!. . .;. To secure a
substantia! cc.ortu jury took tbe offi¬
cer some hours, but he succeeded fi¬
nally in getting together a half doz¬
en ebon-hued gentlemen, satisfactory
alike to the County Attorney and
the defendant. They were a lot of
houest-Iooking oid dar¬
kies, each c f whom looked like
church d< and seemed fully
wi.n .he proper dignity
a juror and tbe importance rf the
he was called upon for the first
in bis life to perform. After
duly sworn and listening to
evidence, which was positive, and
to the short speeches of the defend¬
and the County Attorney, and
been instructed by the court
the punishment for tbe defend¬
offense, if they should believe
him guilty beyond the influence of a
doubt, was a fine of not
$20, the jury retired to
consult on their verdict. They were
about thirty minutes, when
they returned and presented the fol¬
lowing : “We, the undersined jurey,
fined the defendant $<52 and fees for
the jurrey,” to which two of the jury
signed their names and the other
lour made their marks.
When ’Squire Morgan read aloud
their remarkable verdict he could
not repress a broad smile, which
spread all over his benevolent fea¬
tures until he was the very picture
of mirthfulness ; but quickly recov¬
ering his composure, ho observed to
the intelligent jury that they bad ev
identiy not regarded the instructions
given them relative to the limitation
of punishment, and informed them
that at tbe most they could fine do
fendant but $20.
Thereupon the most venerable old
coon upon the panel arose and said :
“Well, ’Squire, you airde jedge,but
we is de jury, and we all Knows dis
here nigger, and he am one of de
worst lot in dis community. We
knows dat you sed find ’im $20 for
de ’fence he guilty ob in dis case,
but den, ’Squire, we knows ob two
or three udder pieces ob debilment
he ’bin ’gaged in afore dis time, and
we just thought we’d lump de whole
business while we ’bout it.”
It was plain that this was a “gen¬
era! principles” jarv, and the crowd
present evidently agreed with their
verdict, but the firm oid magistrate
couldn't see his instructions and the
law trampled upon in any such man¬
ner as that, however equitable to jus
tice such a verdict might be, and he
stood n bulwark between the defen
dant and his “own race” jury, who
wanted to fine him upon general
principles. Me read over to them
his instructions, and directed
to retire again and find a ver
iu conformity therewith. This
did, and fixed the negro’s fine
$9(), not failing, however, to add
costs in their verdict also, as if
they would not he carried

A Plot Against Colquitt.
An Atlanta special to the Savan
nah Newsjpays it was reported in At
lanta, on Tuesday, that Fat Walab,
Senator Brown and one or two other
Protectionists, are contemplating
uniting upon some low tariff Demo
crat, who will be urged to oppose
Mr. Colquitt for the Senate. They
think, so the rumor goes, that it is
impossible to defeat him with a Pro
tectionist, but have hopes of weak
ening his strength by taking up
some Democrat who holds the same
views on the tariff, and think strong
ly that they can defeat him by this
method. The friends of Senator
Brown are very much chagrined at
the way his name was received when
mentioned in the convention on Wed
nesday. He was notified by wire of
tbe matter.
