VIRGINIA NEWS.

Several drummers for Northern business
houses we're arrested in Richmond last week
for plying their business without local license.
The police justice held that the Virginia sta
tutes exacted an equal license tax from Virgin
ia statesmen aud those from other States; there
fore they imposed no discriminating burden on
the latter. and they did not fall within the
principle of the late decision of the Supreme
Court Of the y. S. in the case of Ward against
the State of Maryland. VIM. Barrett, one of
the parties convicted, and representing New
York firm, refused to pay his fine, in order
that he might test the police justice ruling by
habeas corpus before superior court.

1t is stated that although the usual schemes
to enable private corporations to secure large
tracts of public domain under the pretense of
giving homesteads to soldiers are beginning to
crop out, yet the experience of Congress dur
ing former sessions, when these jobs were at

effect to check their progress this session, and
the action of the committee 10 reporting upon
