REVERSES ITSELF.

The Supreme Court of Appeals ofVirginia has reversed Itself and theopinion which had been handeddown declaring that the constitu¬tion Itself must be amended in orderfor tbe police justices and thctlces of the peace to convict azen of petit larceny and ihe like hasbeon made null oud >

In this ls shown the peculiar! titsof oir sj stem of governmentsud the Intricacies of the law, uponwhich no considerable number of itsexpeundereseemto absolutely egreeThe old court, which wont out of

office January 1, 1803, Leld that acitizen could not waive a right guar¬anteed by the constitution, and con¬

sequently a j'iry trial munt In allcases be had. This Involved a

heavy expenditure of money.However, at our last election a

constitutional provision was enact¬ed allowing a person to elect wheth¬er or not he should be tried by ajury.The case, strange to say upon

which a reversal was obtained wasof an insignificant colored boy,charged with steeling a copy of a

newspaper valued at three cents,'.he former decision, all per¬

sons who had been convfc'eeT-tjf petitlarceny without trial by a jury wereenfranchised Inasmuch as t bf convic¬tion which dit-qualiff*d them wasnull and void. Many who were inthe penitentiary upon a third con¬viction of petit larceny were released.The new court was unanimous In

Its decision.

THE ILLITERATE AND CRIME.The Petersburg, Va., Dally Index

Appeal fa its issue of Feb. 14th wellsays :

"The v . *f r< 'Landmark, io advocat¬ing au *¦ el. cat ona! qualification for vo¬ters, appal audy assumes that ignoranceand venality go band-in-hand. This isvery far from being true frith respect toelections in Virginia and elsewhere. Weventure to say that more venal acts areperpetrated in elections by so called ed¬ucated men than by illiterate men. Inthe very nature of things this mustbe true. About the worst thins: an illit¬erate voter can do is to sell his vote.When there is any stealing to be donethe services of the educated man are indemand. As a matter of ethics, the fel¬low that sells his own vote is hardly asbad.bad as he undoubtedly ia.as theother ftHow that steals somebody else'svote."And again :

"And, besides, it is not true tbat theilliterate man is the only man who sellshis vote. A more smattering of learningneither qualifies man to understandtbe abstruse principles of aroverumentnor does it "elevate him above thetemptation of exchanging his vote for adollar when he and his family are ur¬gently in need of the comforts whichthat dollar will procure. When needsmust ths devil drives, and his coursersare as often the men that can read asthe men tbat cannot."

It concludes as follows :

"It will he an evil day for the demo-I ic party in Virginia when it pnt it-upon the country as an advocate of

measure. Oa that issue it willr the almost solid oppositionof ch« .publican party, the bitter andrelrtnileHHiy unforgiving opposition ofnnlettered white democrats who havebeen loysl all the as trying years, and al

Tbe advice cited ls well given andthe position assumed bj our liberalcontemporary will be warmly sop-ported by all right-thinking peopleli the commonwealth.

THE ACQUITTAL OF PESH.

Rape le the most heinous crimeknown to the law. By a recent en¬

actment, the legislature of Virginiamade lt oven more outrageous thanmurder.To attempt to forcibly know a fe¬

male, whether virgin or prostitutemay be punished by death.There ls no statute upon tbe books

of any state that makes attemptedmurder a crime for which the crimi¬nal may be accorded the death pen¬alty. This ls the law on tbe subject,and yet Thomas J. Pann, a whiteman, who criminally assaulted LinaUanna, a ten-year-old colored girl,was tried In the Corporation Courtof Danville, Va., Wednesday, 13thInst , and acquitted. The outragedgirl said he was guilty. Tbs sisterto the victim said he wan guilty.The tell-tale stains In hts office saidhe was guilty. The person who re¬moved the mangled body of the suf¬fering little one said he was guilty.Comm >nwealth's Attorney Mas

sib said he was guilty. The judgeon the bench believed him to be guil¬ty, and the community In which helived voiced the same sentiment.hels guilty.But Thomas J. Penn, the brute, ls

wealthy. His people can count bytbe thousands their "filthy lucre,"and the idea of having one of their"kith and kio" Incarcerated In theVirginia penitentiary or danglingfrom a noose In the Danville j ill westoo much for even those relativeswho almost loathed him, on accountof the crime he had committed, andcondemned him in ths bitterestterms for tbe depravity he had dis¬played. Tbe aid of the disreputable,the dissolute, and the consciencelesswas invoked.The public will never know tbe

amounts of money, which somebodygot "to do the job" and sl'ence theonly witnesses who could make con¬viction doubly sure.To buy the jory was an expensive

luxury, they thought, far more sothan lt would be tb spirit away tbewitnesses. Three men and a few wom¬en perhaps could assist In the lattercase, while twelve persons wouldhave to be handled In the former.Besides, one obstreperous jurorwould produce a hung jury and theanxiety and annoyance would baveto all bs gone over again.

lt waa doubtful too whether pur-he* sable men could be gotten on the

j irv while the judge and the com¬monwealth's attorney remainedabove price and there was no evi¬dence that either would soil the er¬mine of the law bv such low practlces. Tbe witnesses must be removed.A continuance was asked f ir whentbe case was called. This was grant¬ed. Lina Hanna, her sister, hermother disappeared from Danvilleas completely as though the earthhad opened and swallowed them upJudge Aiken vainly contluued tbe

case from time to time*, while thecity council voted f250 for the pur¬pose of Hading the missing people.They had might as well have

thrown the money away. For everydollar they voted, the Penn familystood ready to cover lt with ten oth¬er dollars In order to defeat the endsof justice. The mother of Penn nodoubt, with her hair silvered o'er bythe frosts of years,while condemningthe waywardness of "her boj " whohad forfeited his right to live, movedby the Instincts which man can never uwierffft%i*tl .* but wLlcb Qod Inspires ls nerved to overlook, what inanother, she would have declared tohave deserved death, and no doubtgiven from her bounteous pursemoney to aid In a conviction hesi¬tates and waits the time when alldanger ls past aad the son come*forth a free man, even though abrute, a villain, a human hyena, amurderer of virtue, a fiend, a thingthat hell's severest torments canhardly be exercised enough upon toaward merited punishment. ButDanville's whttecltlzens are arousedThe Christian sentiment feels out¬raged, and for once a white manstands in danger for a crime commit¬ted upon one of the down troddenrace.

Theend has cooa*). The jury filesin with Its verdict of "NH Quilty,"which every one reads, "Guilty, butnot proven to the satisfaction of thecourt."Penn breathes a sigh of relief as he

dons his overcoat and in companywith bis brothers moves to the courtroom door, staggers down the stepsgets into a carriage and horries tohis desolate home.a marked man.No more will the sunshine of peace

rsst aronnd that househonld.Ths thought of the ignominy to

which he was to be subjected hisbeen followed by one of loathing.Every fair-haired damsel tn thatVirginia city believes that ThomasJ. Penn raped Lina Hanna.Every boy trudging laugh¬ingly to school believes that Thom¬

as J. Penn raped Liva HannaEvery school-teacher In Danville

and In the adjoining counties be¬lieves that Thomas J. Penn rapedLina Hanna.Every physician In the neighbor¬hood believes that Thomas J. Penn

raped Lina Hanna.Every conductor on the railroad,

It ls needless to refer to ths thou¬sands outside of that city who shareIn that opinion.They are from Canada to the Gulf,

from the Atlantic to the Pacificwho believe that Thos J. Pinnraped Lina Hanna.There are people In England, in

Africa, in Haiti, In tbe HawaiianIslands who believe that Thos. JPenn raped Lin* Hanna.We have seen to lt that they were

Informed of the facf s In the case, andthat he has been acqiltted, will addto their amazement.Thos. J. Penn actually mutilated

his victim beyond the hope of com¬plete recovery. He was a butcher.Decency foi bids our going Into de¬

tails. Suffice lt to say tbat LinaHanna ls forever ruined so far asthis Ma ls concerned, and Thos. JPenn knows that he did lt.But the Innocent must suffer with

the guilty. There ls not a memberof his family but what must -seffTby this awful exposureHts brothers w<!i be pointed out as

the slightest cause for anger will callforth a taunt concerning th*? atro¬cious crime which their brother com¬mitted and which they were calledupon to defend.What young lady of tbe Cauca¬

sian race would lins her fortuneswith such a brute even though hewas decked with diamonds andmeasured his fortunes by the cart-liads?Certainly none of tbs "elite." Let

There are but few diseases that puzzlephysicians more than rheumatism. Therearc a great many theories as to ita cause,and a great many theories aa to the baalnu-1 us of curing it, most of which are absurd.One of tbe greatest sufferers of rheuma¬

tism known in tbe annals of medicine ioJohn G. Jenks, of Riverside, R. J. Hene the victim of rheumatism while

in the army, and the disease seems to*have given him a taste of all its varioustortures. Physiciansand medicines failed togive him any relief, until at last he effectedhis own deliverance from the bonds of pain."Rheumatism!" said Mr. Jenks, when thesubject was broached by a reporter whowent to hear his story. "Well, I shouldsay 1 do know something about it; alllearned by actual experience, too. I firstcontracted rheumatism in the army, and Ihave had every variety of the afflictionsince, and have suffered such agony witb itthat at times death was a pleasant thoughtto d*vell upon. Take medicine? Enoughto stock a drug store, and none of it did maany good. Then I began to study 'ha di*lyaslf I made up my mind to getacquainted with the enemy and fight it ondifferent lines. I had a theory of my ownand began to look around for a remedy thatwas calculated to have the desired effect.One after another was tried until at last Ihit upon Pain-Killer, which I applied freely.Almost with the first application came re*lief.
