The supreme court of Mississippi has affirmed a sentence of life imprisonment upon a white man proved guilty of a criminal assault upon a black woman. The Memphis News-Scimitar concludes that this is the first instance on record anywhere in the South, and certainly in the state of Mississippi, where a white man has gone to prison for such an offense. The fact that not a few men of the white race have been arraigned on such a charge only to be promptly acquitted, and the other fact that, because of the certainty in results of all such ry's ESTAURANT, month. hours, day and night. the best Chefs in the city.

RY, Proprietor. trials but a small percentage of such outrages are reported, made the action in Mississippi all the more interesting and important. Even more interesting and important than the action itself, however, is the broad moral principal, and the saving common sense, laid down by the Judge in Mississippi who announced the supreme court's decision. "The safety of all women, and the preservation of the sanctity of our homes," the decision reads, 'depends upon the certainty, promptness with which crimes of this character shall be visited with condign punishment, it matters not how humble and friendless the victim, nor what her race or color." When a court in the South can enunciate such salutary conclusions as these, somuch in line with the dictates of enlightened policy and statesmanship, but so at variance with the prejudices which have until lately had supreme control in that section, it is a sign that the force of the more intelligent opinion there ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Sedalia, Mo.

There can be no doubt that, for years past, there have been broad-minded men in every part of the South who have seen clearly the evils, present and threatened of the surrender to ignorant and brutal prejudices of inferior classes in organized society and politics. There has been much of horror in the South which has been unspeakable, and which is only hinted at in the Judical opinion of the Missssippi supreme judge. Commentators both North and South have spoken only on political lines, discussing effects rather than causes, because many of these causes have been too hideous for the public view. That the light is breaking in the South, the fact and the spirit of the Mississippi decision clearly prove. The man of light and leading in that section are evidently beginning to see their duty, and that the time is opportune for its performance. It is not necessary to condemn them for having temporized with evils they did not consider it safe or politic for them to attempt to control. That never been doubted by those who know them. And of late there have been many encouraging indications that they see that the time for action is at hand. GLOBE DEMOCRAT. LaFayette Co. Colored FAIR Aug., 16-18. Prepare to attend.
