He was educated at Eaton and Balllol col- lege, Oxford, where he obtained a scholarship, and graduated B. A. in 1812 and M.A. in 1964, up to which year he had been a fellow ot Exeter college. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple, November 6th, 1846, and went on the western cir. cuit, of which he was for some years leader. In 1855 he was appointed recorder of Portsmouth, and was created a queen's counsel in 1846, being soon after- wards nominated a bencher of the Middle Temple. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the repre- sentation of Exeter in August, 1864, but was elected for that city In July, 1865, and’ continued to repre- sent it till November, 1873. In December, 1868, On the formattan of Mr. Glad- stone’s government, he was appointed to fill the omice of solicitor general, when he received the honor of knizhthood, and 1 November, 1871, on Sir Robert Collier being appointed to a aie in the Jydictal department. of the privy council, Sir John Duke Coleridge was appointed to succeed. as attorney general.

THY ATTORNEY GENERAL DECIDES THAT THE EXECU- TIVE CANNOT REDRESS THE GRIEVANCES COM- PLAINED OF BY MR. NILES—WHEEEUPON MR. NILES UITERS THE WAR CRY OF “SEPARATION” —THE CIVIL RIGHTS DECISION. Mr. J. W. Niles, of Arkansas, who advocates “sep- aration” for the colored people, has received from. Attorney General Brewster an answer to his com- munication, addressed to the President, alleging that the colored people of Arkansas were suffering certain grievances at the hands not only of pri- vate persons, but of the civil authorities ‘The Attorney General's letter says: “Your state- ment has recelved careful attention, for no good cfttzen, whether in public or private station, will regard with indifference fnjuries such as those under which these people are said to be laboring. ‘The questions, however, which you ralse are ques- tons of law, and so, of course, are to be determincad by the Constitution'of the United States, as Inter- preted by the Supreme Court. For iustance: It 13 very much to be regretted that finpediments should be thrown In the way of the efforts of our colored fellow-citizens to better their condition by regu- larly entering and settling upon public lands, But | it appears that the particular lands of which you, are public lands of the state of Arkan That state has entire control of them.

Nor can the United States interfere, by their exec utive power, In respect. to the state prosecutions of which you complain, or the fines which you represent are so oppressive and enforced. by im- prisonment. if the laws of Arkansas, under = which these prosecutions are | instituted and these fines Imposed, are contrary to the Constitution of the Unlied States, the remedy has been placed by that Con- stitution In your own hands, ¢. e., by appeal from the judgments of the state courts to the Supreme Court of the United States. ‘The same is true of cruel punishments trflicted upon colored people at prisor farms, to which upon trifling pretexts they are condemned. If the state laws under which such proceedings are had are unconstitutional the only Teme ay isby appeal to the highest court of the state and from that to the Supreme Court of the United States. ‘The executive of the United States has no power whatever in the premises, 5 AS to mere mob violence, neither the President nor any other authority of the United States can afford redress. It is only In the case of such insur- Teettons as the state cannot put down that the Power of the Executive of the United States can employed, and then only when invoked. by the legislature or the governor; and the judicial power to try and punish the individuals who make up Such mobs and commit, such outrages as you de- scribe, is in the state alone. ‘These acts are directed gaint ‘iif and personal liberty.” After citing Crulkshank’s ease 92, U. $., p. 853, the Attorney General proceeds; he refers to’the im: possibility of Congress enacting laws to bring such cases Into the United States courts. ‘The Attorney General concludes by saying: “I belleve that upon due constderation the citizens whom you rep- Elhone and son, of Washington, were passengers by the overland train to arrive at San Francisco last ‘The Naval Uniform. PROPOSED CHANGES UNDER CONSIDERATION BY SEC- RETARY CHANDLER—THE SHOULDER STRAPS TO BE RESTORED. For the past several days Secretary Chandler has been carefully considering the circular ordering the changes in the naval uniform. He has recetved ad- Vice and suggestions from a “number of prominent ‘naval officers here, and has about made up hismind to effect some modifications in the circular. The bmp oe change, it is und will be to restore he shoulder: straps, which were to be abolished, although they of a different character trom. those heretofore worn. Various designs for the en- \eer, pay and medical corps are considered y certain officers to whom the assigned the duty. Some minor changes In the cape'will also be made. When the ‘retary has: upon the details of the modifications a new circular ‘will be printed and ad at once. There 1s not nearly so much opposition to the c! now among naval officers as there was at first. Many upon. learning that the cha: ‘were only made for the sake of uniformity, were hot radical, have with- drawn their protesis, Ex-Senator Trumbull on Civil Rights, Ex-Senator Lyman Trambull, of Mlinols, in an in- terview on the Supreme Court decision upon the civil rights bill, says he always considered it un- nstitutional; that ft attem to confer on the Searo Social pitiieges which Aye eon Acquire per. ‘sonaily fn common with other citize: ‘that his civil rights as a citizen of the United States are not impaired by the decision. hoe ee REFUSING $60,000 FOR JaY-EY-SER.—Several = “| tlemen who were in the office of the Driving PANY, MINTON, MAU and other IMPORTED TILES. great variety.

In the Criminal Court to-day, before Judge Wylie, the case of Thomas Dunn and Robert Murphy, alias Robert Johnson, indicted for larceny, another one of the cases growing out of the investigation by the citizens’ committee was called. There was a large attendance in court. The government was repre- sented by District Attorney Corkhill, Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Hugh Taggart, and Special Attorney H. H. Wells. The defendant, Dunn, was repre- sented by Mr. A. B. Williams, and Murphy by Mr. C. Pelham and Mr. W. W. Betts. ‘The defend- ants were indicted July 11th last, with Daniel Serib- ner, on the evidence of Charles O'Leary and John H. Murphy,for having, on January 18, 1862, stolen from Richard B. Thomas a gold watch and chain worth $175 and $60 in money. ‘The parties were arraigned and pleaded not guilty, and a jury was called. Mr. Thomas Somer- Ville, Stating that he was a member Of the citizens’ cominittee, was excused by the court. Mr. Thomas Lucas stated that he had been employed by the citizens’ committee, but knew nothing of this case. ‘The court ruled that he was competent, but the de- fense challenged him. THE JURY. ‘The following were the jurors selected: John A. Schneider, Bartlett W. Page, George F. Pylis, George W. Banagin, Columbus J. Eslin, W.H. Scott, Henry Bailey, John L. Vogt, Victor J. Becker, Robert E. Frey, Clarence Beall, and David Nachmon. The defense took exceptions as to the govern- ment exercising the right of challenge and to the Tuling of the court that the defence had but four challenges. A THREE-CARD-MONTE CASE. Mr. Taggart opened the case to the jury, stating that the victim in this case lost his watch by what, is known as the three-card-monte game, a scheme in which several persons are in a conspiracy—all having a common purpose; that Thomas was ap- Proached at the Botanical garden and was per- Suaded to go “to see the place where Mrs Surratt, ‘was executed,” and they went to 43 and N streets, stopping in Mr. Hudson's saloon, where they were Joined by another man, who played the part of the “Kentucky Drover,” and the usual result followed— Mr. Thomas losing his money. ‘They expected to show that Murphy was the “drover” and that Dunn ‘Was the barkeeper or “scarer.” ‘MR. THOMAS TELLS HOW HE WAS DUPED. Richard B. Thomas, ot Abingdon, Va., testined that in January, ‘82, while in the city, he was ac- costed at the Botanical gardens by one or two men, Who said he was going to see where Mrs. Surratt was executed. Witness was invited to go along, and went down 44 street in acar with the stran- gers. They stopped at a saloon and called for hot Jemonades; while at the table an old man came in sat down and ordered a drink. This man spoke of having learned in Baltimore a new game. ‘The company got, to betting, but witness declined to det saying that he belfeved the old man was a sharper. ‘They replied that he was not, but he ought to be taught a lesson. He was then pur- suaded to bet and put up his watch and chain, Which he lost. They were then ordered out by thé barkeeper, and left. HOW HE RECOVERED HIS WATCH. ‘Witness went toa friend and then to a detective named Flinders, who said he could get the watch by the payment of sixty dollars. Finders said that the watch had been pawned in Baltimore, and that he would require #5 for expenses, $10 for services, and $60 to redeem the watch, Witness ‘paid him the money, $75, and got the watch, andat Flinders’ suggestion that the parties wanted to see hima (witness) with the watch he walked to the corner of the Avenue, Witness had recognized one of the men since. He was on the stand the other day under the name of O'Leary. He was the younger of the the two men he met at the Botanical garden, He could not say that hehad ever seen the two prisoners before. Pe ee ‘The counsel for the defense sala as ‘@id not Tepresent O'Leary they had no questions to ask. O'LEARY ON THE STAND. Charles O'Leary was sworn. ‘The d¢fense asked that it be noted O’Leary was the one on the stand last week who had been con- victed and pardoned. O'Leary = then testified that Scribner engaged Thomas in conversation and raised his hat as a signal, when he went up and was introduced. Going through the Botanical garden they went to | See where Mrs. Surratt was Ding ma stopped ot les at Hudson’s, where they ordered monade, ‘The bar-keeper, Dunn, sald tt would take him some e them and invited them to an adjoin- ing room, where they sat down, Here Murphy came in and the game was played. Witness then ex- plained with the cards the game, how the watch Was lost by Thomas, who bet agulnst a “boodle,” supposed to be $40. After he offered to redeem it witness gave the signal by a cough for the scare to come In.” Witness Said he saw the watch in Dunn's ssion that night and witness offered $50 for 1t. Mnewaten was returnedsashe understood. ana wit. ness and Scribner got their share from Dunn. Wit- ness had met Dunn and the others that morning at Holmes’, for they would arrange where they were to Work. Dunn sald Hudson’s saloon was right for that day. Dunn was a brother-in-law of Hudson, and the rule was this: 10 per cent of the proceeds was to be paid for the privilege of putting a man behind the bar. Witness worked with Dunn, Scribner and Murphy for six weeks. Witness on cross-exatnination said he did not see any others at Hudson's at the time of this larceny outside of the ive engages Upon re-direct, examination the witness said ‘Thomas would not have gotten the money it he had won; they would have required him to guess a second time, and If he won again he would be paid, and a second bet made. John K. Woodyard testified that he got the watch from Scribner or Boose; was satisfied that Dunn did not give it to him. He was at Holmes’ at the time, and Dunn was not there. Flinders said that some of the boys had won a wateh at three-card monte, giving a descrintion of the watch, but he mentioned no names. Witness told him that he had bought the watch, and witness got 1t and gave it to Flind- ers, who ‘pafd him $52.30. Witness patd $50 to O'Leary at Mrs. Foster's saloon, on sth street. Dunn was in the room, and Scribner was about there, but he did not see Murphy. Witness had a conversa- tion with Dunn last summer, and asked him the name of the man who lost the Watch, and he sald that: he did not know. 2 Mr. Taggart expressed his disappotntment by the witness’ testimony, and was proceeding to closely question witness ‘but was checked. Witness sald at he had erred in a portion of his testimony. Cross-exainined by Mr, Williams, he said that he Went to Mr. Wells’ about a week ago, and infornfcd him that he had made a mistake, Re-direct to Mr. Wells —It was about a week ago.

Holland, who is one of the projac- tors of the Monday night meeting, said, “We don't propose to make this a party question. It will be a meeting of people, without regard to color or party.” Mr, Holland, in discussing the law ob- served that in his mind civil rights ‘were identical with personal rights. The Constitution entitled them to life, Uberty and protection in the pursuit of happiness. ‘These were personal rights. “I don't think there are any. such things as civil rights,” sald Mr. Holland. “41 believe them to be the rights growing oUt of political and personal rights in the common law.” PROF. GREGORY, 1n speaking of the law, sald that he understood tt grew out of the spirit and intendment of the amend- ments to the constitution. J. W. NILES AGAIN. “It was a righteous decision,” sald J. W. Niles, the apostle of separation, commenting to-day to a Star reporer upon the published views of colored men concerning the decision. “I will be at the meeting Monday night and will sustain the decision. We don’t want any such law. There was no good Jaw tn tt anyhow. It gave the negroes more rights than the white people, and the muttonheads can’t see it. My heart is full. Iam glad of it.” REV. R. 8 LAWS APPROVES THE DECISION. Rey. R. 8. Laws, one of the delegates trom the District to the recent colored convention at Louts- Ville, sald, when asked by aSrak reporter for his opinion on the decision: “So far as the civil rights decision 1s concerned I am not fully prepared to dis- cuss the position of the court. But I can say this, that I am not fn the fullest sympathy with the law as It stood on the statute books. ‘The position that the law sustained to the race was good enough as a legislative enactment, but as to our constitutional citizenship I think the constitution guarantees all the rights we ask for. I think I can safely trust myself with the constitutional provisions. Any clags legislation that may be enacted by one party may be repealed by another.

In no case has {t ever accomplished an} Tse it 13 intended to hold a meeting Monday night. I shall attend the meeting, but not with the intentiowot taking part.” JUDGE MILLS’ DECISION IN THE BELL CASE. ‘The decision of Judge Mills, in the Police Court, fning James W. Bell, the restaurateur, $600 for Miolating the clyil rights act, recently, was com- mented on a good deal and criticised by some, but the decision of the Supreme Court fully substan- tates Judge Mills, who was presiding in the absence of Judge Snell. Mr. Carrington, for the défendant, resented several cases to the court in which the law was held to be bad. Judge Mills, in his elab- orate decision in the case, which was printed at the time in Tne Stak, held just as the Supreme Court has ruled, that the law Was in full force in the Dis- trict and ‘rerritortes, where Congress has full legis- lative jurisdiction; ‘but: t was held that in the states (where the cases occurred that were referred to by the attorney), the states had the power to legislate for themselves in this matter, and the cases referred to and the one on trial at the tue were not analagous.
