A COLORED MAN REFUSED ADMITTANCE
TO THE BAR.
REMARKABLE OPINION OF JUDGE
. , MELLON.
>' At the Quarter Sessions at Pittsburg,
Fa , some days ago, a colored
la/wyer-from New York, George B.
Y?hon made application for admission
to the Bar. The application
was unanimously rejected, and Judge
Mellon delivered the opinion of the
court which we copy as follows from
the! Pittsburg Leader, of the 20th ult.
:' Judge Mellon stated that he had
prepared some notes for a written
opinion on the case, but abandoned
the work under the expectation that
Jude Stowe. would, as is his custom,
exhaust the subject. Finding,
however, that hi* reasons for denying
the apph'cation takes- a broader
faiige than those set forth by Judge
Stowe, he would state the grounds of
of hir opinion why the application
should be denied.
; The rules of the Court are of our
own creation, for the guidance of
suitors and ourselves, and when the
merits of the case demand, we may
suspend them; and it might be supposed
we would suspend them in the
present case, but for the color of the
applicant. However that may be,
this or some applicant of his race
may take the trouble to conform to
our rules, and still meet no better j
access, therefore, Judge Mellon said j
' lje yould prefer to express his opin-'
upon the matter in all its bearings, j
Judge Mellon then proceeded to
,1,q QPiniiripnt. 11 tired in be-1
V'UUSIUUI IUV- Q ? - - ^
half of Mr. Vashon, that recent logis-1
lation and judicial decisions .of the
General Government sanction the
, admission of colored persons to all
the rights and privileges enjoyed by
white people everywhere, and in eve
ry department of life. In answer
to this he showed that while we may
admit State sovereignty to be virtuaJly
Extinguished, the Generul Government
has not as yet suspended
our State laws or government; and
while they are allowed to remain,
they are in full force as regards us,
and we do owe them allegiance. The
condition of the law then is this: Our
State authorities do not recognize
, the claim of Mr. Vashon to be adI
mitted to the bar, but so far as they 1
f go to the conclusion to be drawn
from them is against it and the Uni-1
ted States does not interfere in his
behalf.
Judge Mellon said that as the law
stands we might be excuseable in
rrrantincr the annlication. orovided
ti' ?? ? 1 _rr ' &
' aiyj substantial public good or private
right demanded it; but as nothing
but evil is likely to result to both
. faces from their being kept and en
couraged to remain promiscously in-!
habiting the same territory, he would ;
do nothing whatever to promote it. j
Judge Mellon continued as follows::
"I would have the colored men
practice as attorneys, sit on juries, I
hold courts, and exercise the right of J
suffrage?not here however, but among
themselves?in some part or
section of the Uuion where the white
itien would be under the same disabilities
among them which they nrq
liable to among the whites. Scufar
am I from doing anything to encourage
the races to remain together, that
I would do everything short of violence
or harshness to facilitate and
promote their separation. If the
.colored racers ever to be placed on
the way to social progress?it it is
ever to attain the rights and pri ileges
of manhood?it must be placed
in a position where it can enjoy tru;
aelf-respect. This never can be among
the white race.
Vested rights of property and domestic
relations, already acquired
should be respected and protected,
but beyond this, it should be made
clearly to tend to the interest and advantage
of the colored race to separate
itself from the whites. The coun*
:;.i I . * i
try is extensive enough to accommo- f
date both races, and they will occu- irr
py no more room separated than to- og
gether. Where they are kept togeth- be
er, the one or the other of the parties ye
having the preponderance in numbers, qti
and wealth will domineer over the wl
other in spite of all laws to the eon- m;
trary, anil the inferior party will suf- pl<
fer from the consequent degradation, ho
To expect by law to place a sparse dii
' colored population, scattered among i tr
anumcrouswhitepopu'ationon a foot- j m<
ing of social equality wiflithe whites, ^ai
seems to me impossible, ai.d it is only
surprisi ig that it should be sought to W
retain the two races together by sha-! tin

ping our laws arm iiisuuuiuiki iu unit;
end. It was one of the great evils very | un
properly attributed to th6?nstitution of j soi
slavery that theresideirfcof the races j coi
together promoted ai?gamation.? Bu
Why, then, should not this as well as un
the other evils of slavery be removed? tin
Is it natural or proper, or possible, wh
that by associated the two races will les
become assimilated and equally aniLi|.
indiscriminately respected by ont^?o
another in social life? If not, can tin
the negro ever acquire that dignity to
and self-rcspcct which are. essential qu
to civil and social progress? God in Th
the beginning; or nature since, has for
made too great a difference between tai
the two for laws to expunge. The wil
natural feelings and instincts of both wh
races will respect and observe this so
difference in spite of all human laws, ad
j An unnatural porsistance in associ- or
I ting together may, in the course of i difl
j ages, obliterate all distinction be- cor
I twecn the raees, but this condition tiui
can only be brought about bv the pre
formation of mongrel and inferior race, w'il
The teachings of history and phv- tyi
siologv clearlv establish the fact that
I # *
social equality and connection be- .
tween the races in the domestic rela- Pn
tions can only he productive of evil y1
?shortening of life, and weakening 0 1
the physical and mental condition, ns ran
a general rule. And notwitkstand- ?*a
irig all encouragement to remain to- y"
gethcr, they will separate of their bwn .
accord as much as may be. In every ; Jafil
town and neighborhood thefe will be, j ?
as there always have been, the negro j rt'.j
quarters. This should indicate the ;
propriety of promoting the separation j rar
on a larger scale. States or sections j *ari
of the Union, may be designated, I "0I
where every right and privilege here j sVv
possessed by the whites will be ac- mo,
corded to the blacks; where the road at *
to wealth aid the. oppoitmty to P.ai
gratify ambition will be open to them; nc(
where they can practice law, sit as ^
judges or on juries, and exercise the ?nc
elective franchise; and where white j
men may be excluded from the exer- i ro.a
cise of such rights and privileges.? i 1
There will then bono necessity whatever
for the exercise of such rights to-!
gether, indiscriminately bv the two j
races, excep\in the halls of Congress, ! c'ni
where it can be done without detriment
to either party. ? foil
I have been thus particular be- 1
cause I have suggested a practical at F
one, and the only course in which the a?a
negro has a reasonable chance of ad- ^ h
vancenicnt. Here, neither the priv- disc
ilege here claimed, nor any further I but
similar right or privilege should be ; flu'
accorded to him-in this region. . ago
We would not, therefore, accord ' r(?"
to the applicant that which he seeks Pei'
unless we were compelled to do so by was
sfcie positive law requiring it. With- Coi
out any ^iudue disturbance or expense a 3'
hut by affording the proper facilities t'lc
ami inducements, a voluntary separ- ^asl
ation between the races can be brought ro?

During the delivery of the opinion c,%
| the court room was densely crowded, ' lad
the case attracting even a greatir the
degree of interest than it bad preyi- 'ie
ously done. The decision excited no ! ^ c

What a Pint of Brandt Dtd.? tur
A short time ago there was a dread- the
ful murder in the streets of a New wit
England city. The young man who tha
did the terrible deed had always been tra
considered as good-hearted, a little qui
wild, perhaps, hut generous, indus- mm
trious, and full of good impulses-? allc
But alas! he woke up the next morn- vcr
iug to learn that he was a murderer, call
I ay to ha-n this, for ho knew noth- do
ing about it. This is his story wit- har
ncssed to by others: Jos
He and the murdered man were pec
passing up the street arm in arm, to of 1
an evening lecture. Opposite a saloon upc
they stopped to speak to a friend.? bes
The proprietor of the saloon, standing con
in his door, called the three young men and
to "come in, he had something to show -aire
them."
Once within a game of cards was j
proppscd; then one'of the young men Art
called' for a pint of brandy?that's Ven
what he had to show them. "Some a f<
prime old cognac?a new lot just in." ]Ma
So they played and drank, and 0fg
there was a quarrel, and that was all fine
the poor wretched, ruined, young pre
man knew about it. The poor fellow con
would wring his hands and w'alk up cd 1
and tjlown the prison cell, exclaiming; sjn<
"It was the nint of Brandv that Lot
. ' V c
did it! lie was my friend,, and I but
loved him. I wou'd never have hon
harmed a hair on his head. Oh, it cs (
was the brandy!" _ bcf
Now that was very true. And
yet people people say speaking of
him, "0 he ought to be luing! hanging
is too good for him !" "1S
But who was the most guilty ? G
Ought the man who sold the brandy in t
go unpunished ? And in the sjght <
of heaven, isn't the rumsellcr worse t]au
| than the murderer? Is hanging "too _cn
good" for him, I wonder? t
