He has never had a doubt that the counting of a quorum would eventually become one of the fixed rules of the house, no matter which party is in power. If he felt any surprise at all at the action of the democratic caucus in directing the committee on rules to prepare a rule providing for the counting of members present and not voting, in order to make a quorum, it was not because the caucus had come around to his ideas but because as many as 40 democrats should have voted against the proposition. While the Republican members of the House are there row Believers in the principle of counting a quorum it is not yet certain that they will support the row reported by the committee on rules, or that they will vote at all to help the Democrats get a quorum to adopt it. The principal reason for this uncertainty is that the caucus resolution also directed the committee to report a rule to compel the attendance of absent members. It will depend upon how the Democrats intend to accomplish the proposed reforms what position the Republicans will take. Another Democratic senator has placed himself in the doubtful column. Senator Smith of New Jersey, in his speech on the Tariff bill, which Senator Quay correctly called a “ measure of mingled malice, compromise and sectionalism,” renewed the cold shivers which Senator Hill Cent up and down the spines of the free Traders last week. It has been agreed that the debate on the bill as a whole shall end next Monday. Then the contest over the individual schedules will begin and the fighting Bill be forced by the Republicans from the 1st to the last. The Democratic managers of the bill are in doubt as to the status of at least six Democratic senators, not to mention the successor to the late Senator Vance, of North Carolina, who died here Saturday night.

No one can ready without burning with indignation the fiendish crimes perpetrated by white brutes upon an idiotic colored girl. Their victim has since died from the treatment and there is no reason to believe that they will receive the punishment which they deserve. Follwoing closely upon this is the account of the rapinf of a small colored child by a high standing white man of Mississippi. He was convicted and during the trial mysteriously disappeared and his friends now allege that he was suffering from mental aberration. A noose would cure it. A search should be made for this fiend and the law allowed to mete the punishment of death as a reward for his inhumanity. Colored women are afforede comparatively no protection and their white ravishers are shielded from the penalties of the law. A crime committed by a colored man is no worse than a crime committed by a white wine and vice versa. When colored men insist upon the punishment of these villains, and protect their women a better condition of affairs will prevail. Ravishers of women, be they black or white are entitled to no respect and merit no sympathy. They should be legally executed. No one race without the other, however and colored men should see to it that fair play is vouchsafed in each and every case. White men who commit crime upon colored women must be taught the same lesson that is given us when we are guilty of similar offences. Lynch law must go!

After four long years of waiting we again have a Governor of this state who regards an oath, and regardless of his personal feeling in the matter will do his sworn duty. Lawrence Spiller, a colored man stands charged with the heinous crime of rape and murder. A white girl was the victim. If he is guilty, he is a fiend who deserves no consideration at the hands of the law, and the sooner the earth is rid of him the better. If innocent, he should be immediately set free. Our position with reference to such matters is too well known to need comment here. Any man, be he black or white, guilty of rape should be hanged, but it must be done by the due process of law. We do not unduly sympathize with the wrong-doers of our race; but we insist that the guarantee in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of Virginia shall be rigidly enforced. If any one thinks that Governor O’Ferrall has other than the bitterest feeling towards the perpetrator of such a heinous crime because be ordered troops to Staunton he is mistaken. He was left no alternative. His vow was registered in heaven and he realized that is the Great Beyond he must render an account of his stewardship. The law can be trusted to mete merited punishment, and men, frenzied with passion are held back by the mighty exercise of military power in order that the people of the world may see all the beauty of the workings of our system of government in that deserved punishment can be speedily administered.

The announcement that a colored man in Ouachita Co, Arkansas, who was presumed to have the smallpox was burned to death Monday April 30, 1894 by white men is one of the most atrocious crimes ever perpetrated.

Shall these hellish crimes continue forever?Is there not enough manhood in the race to demand a halt and to enforce that demand? is it possible that Christianity is too, weak and that its Believers falter? The only remedy for this which we know is to adopt that used by white men at and before the beginning of the present century, and treat these Lawless white men as the Indians of bygone days were treated. Every colored man should have a rifle or a shotgun. Ammunition should be cats on hand in order that the supply of game may be diminished during the hunting season, and that Wallace men may be given an opportunity to go over the river by the bullet route.

If this precedent be generally followed “Judge Lynch” will gave to adjourn his court sine die. Our courts of justice can and should meet the public demand for prompt trial and adequate punishment of ravishers, and they can and should also meet the public demand that no woman who has been the victim of a brutish man shall be put to needless torture on the witness stand.” Remember the above is as applicable to the colored women as to white ones. “More ravishers have been lynched in Virginia to save the victims the mortification of cross-examination than because of any fear that the prisoners would escape the gallows. This is the danger-point, and to it due attention should be given. Let it be understood that no trial judge will permit the chief witness against a ravisher to be put to torture on the witness-stand, and lynchings will rarely or never be heard of again in Virginia” The above is the most ridiculous position ever occupied by an individual professing to have some knowledge of law. The witness stand may be the platform of the perjurer and in skillful cross-examinations alone rest the hope of detection. To abolish them would be to place more than one man’s life in jeopardy and white men would be among the first to feel the effect of it, because each and every citizen stands sworn to recognize the civil and political equality of all men before the law. The secret of this desire not to place white women on the stand in cases of this kind it that it would in many instances compromise them. The average prejudiced white man believes that any negro who is criminally intimate with even an abandoned white woman even with her consent should be hanged.
