Application TO Imprison sir Robert Peel.

lFrom the London Post March Ia
On Thursday the application was renewed before
Vice-Chanceor Malins TO commit Sir Robert Peel to
prison for refusing To render the accounts OF Tam
worth School. The Charity Commissioners urged the
demand made for the accounts by the Inhabitants OF
Tamworth on the ground that the funds had been
improperly administered. Sir Robert Peel flied an
affidavit that the income OF the property had been de-
voted to school purposes. Messrs Cotton and Keke-
wich on the part OF the defendant protested against
the application TO commit q member of Parliament TO
prison. instead OF the usual motion for sequestraon,
which was the only course open. The argument was
concluded yesterday, when the Vice-Chanceor gave
Judgment He said the Charity Commissioners
would have done better IT. instead Of making an ap.
plicati0n which involved the personal liberty of Sir
Robert Peel they had In the latter part OF 1897 caused
an Informs on 10 be filed In order to have II decided
whether the property was or was not permanently
devoted W the purposes of charity Until that ques.
t0n had been decided his honor was OF opinion that
he had no jurisdiction In the matter and the motion
must be dismissed. Costs were given against the
plaiDtiffs.

To the Editor of the 1lerandriu Guzettc

To the Editor Of the 1terdnartu Gazette:
The new constitution framed by what art
called the carpet-bag journeymen constitution,
makers, from without the limits Of Virginia,
fully illustrates the remarks of the great ApoS-
Ito, in holy writ, that evil communications cor
rupt good manners (which in the original Ian
guage was no doubt rendered good moras) as
nothing can BIO more striking than the down
ward tendency of our people from honorable,
honest fair dealing in the various relations oil
life since these ministers of mischief and all
vIainy have come amongst US. What Flr-
gnian, until now, would have thought OF taking
the goods and money of his neighbor without
rendering full equivalent, SO long as able to
do 30? What injustice and injury this new
constitution will entail can be we'll appreciated
by practical business men, who know that it has
been the habit of men and women advanced IN
years to lend their money to active young men
to use in business, thus enabling the man with
out capital to apply his labor in 4 manner to
secure blessing for himself, and confer benefits
on others. But what have We now presented
to us by these swiDdcrs, in the garb of legsla-
tors A man has borrowed two thousand dol.
lars to purchase a farm, and by this Home
stead" law is secured in the possession Of it,
while the other, more worthy, is robbed OF his
money. A person who has twenty debts owing
to him each of one hundred dollars, by twenty
persons, each with property Of the value of two
thousand dollars, making al aggregate Of forty
thousand dollars, is made to give up his small!
claims on this large sum, and turned out to beg
his bread, if too old to work for it. Will the
colored man suffer himself any longer to be
humbugcd with promise of land, mules, &C.,
after seeing that the white man has farm and
house secured to him, while he has only the
promise of being paid for his labor, which no
one attempts to withhold from him ?

proposed Constitution upon the people of Vir-
