wITCHEKs AMENDMENT.

In the debate on the "Bcll
Punch," Col. WitcheI moved to
amend the bill SO rs to prohibit
any licensed dealer from paying
any portion of his tax in the tax
re 'eivable coupons,
Judge Allen favored the amend-
mcnt bC cause he wished an oppor-
mmty Afforded the Supreme Court
to review its decision on the obliga~
ton of tie State to receive such
coupons as money. He believed
the people of the State demanded
tie reversal of their decision, which
he regarded as clearly constitutions
al and OF most destructive conse,
qnence to the State.
Judge Cecil opposed the motion,
II the bill passed it would compel
Tie payment of all the interest on
the public debt and liquidate also
portion of the principal. There
was no necessity to exclude cou-
pons, MS they would all be paid
anyhow if the bill passed. If al
the blood be drawn from the body
1t will die, whether it be takel
from the heart or distracted from
the fcmorol artery.
Col, Watts believed the amend

RICHMOND, VA,
March 10Th, 1877.

First blood for Hayes, aud on the

se,Ate over Kellogg died without n re-

ouet The next we hear Of him he
Oh .rts to the nomination of Colonel
P,u-, democrat, As Postmaster at Pc
iel 4burg and, as the Senate adjourned
lat Saturday, the case goes over. The
President has also appointed Colonel

CO npIimented in the appointment of
Fred Douglas to the Marshalship of the
District, and in the -appointmen OF
the cOored Postmaster OF Columb n.
S. &. A white republican was refused
proven competent and acceptable, M /
no white republican has right TO
dIsw the color line In his own favor.
We decide that Hayes and Key did

ard Nichols will be lowed to govern
their States and Chamberlain and
P4cksrd will he allowed to. ret re and

The President is not out of his
