preme Court in the case of Woodruff rs.
rrapnal settled the point that one Legisla-
ture could bind another, and that State
could not break her contracts, and that the
Legislature must, il necessary to execute
the contract, increase taxation. The SUI
pre,ne Court OF Virginia, in the case OF
Knox Us. Exchange Bank, gave its uAani-
NOUS approval to that doctrine.
In reference to the Antoni case Mr.. HENRY
maintained that the decision covered the
whole ground; that it went as far as to say
that If the revenues were insufficient the
Legislature must raise more. We have
been told by the highest authority that we
have entered into valid contract. Now
that we know that, any attempt to avoid the
contract is nothing but reputation.
If the act is passed we will have the
odium OF Reputation without any OF the
benefits. He believed that the funding bill
had put it out OF the power Of Virginia to
repudiate two thirds of her debt, and he
thanked the gentlemen who passed the
funding bill for that. :.
Mr.. HENRY eloquently depicted the evil
that would follow the passage OF this repu-
diation measure. AS to the sanctity OF our
contract, he read from Judge Christians
opinion in the Homestead case, in effect,
that pecuniary bankruptcy is as nothing
compared with bankruptcy of public and
private morals.
: In closing, Mr.. HENRY said that Virgil
MAS high place In history had been gained
by a strict maintenance OF public faith and
honor. He hoped, however much shemight
be pressed, however sorely she might be
tried, she might, like JOB, say, It'll die
will not remove my integrity from me.
He spoke from lao to Eos O'Clock, and

and crowded galleries from the beginning
to the end. The above report Though
rather more extended than was proposed

HORSE NOTES.

Mr.. W. H. Wilson. proprietor of the Abdallah Park
Stock Farm. situated at Cynthiana. KY. last week
visited the Home Farm. at Milton, Mass. and pur-
chased the half interest in six oneyearod colts.
by the renowned trotting stallion Smuggler, whose
home is now at Abdallah Park, but who is still the
property of Colonel II. S. Russell, of Massachusetts.
1t will be recolected by all admirers of trotters that
Smuggler's record is 2l5l4, and this stands to-day
four seconds faster than the time that any other stall
lion made. The six colts route for their
home in Kentucky. and are taking rest
by the way at the stable of Messrs Richmond &
Payne, No. 1.206 Broadway. They visited yes
terday by large number Of gentlemen, admirers of
their wonderful SIRE who pronounced the youngsters
as finely matured and well developed as any colts
they had ever seen. In fact many supposed they
twoyear-olds from their large size and forward
ness. Many speculations made by the connois-
seurs while looking the colts as to which of
them would make the fastest trotter, Mr.. Robert
Bonner selecting brown gelding whose dam
by Rising Sun. while Mr.. Wilson pinned his
faith to gray gelding whose dam by
Il. S. Long, son of General Knox. After
this speculation of the future merits of the colts all
agreed that muggier will get trotters which will not
only have speed, but will be of fine size and substan
tial conformation As stable companion to the
above colts Mr.. Wilson has his chestnut gelding
Mazomania, who has record of 2:204, and which he
drove out the road yesterday afternoon; and the
writer, who met Mr.. Wilson aud the horse
on the road, found Mazomania to be .
very bold, stylish gelding moving with strong
resolution and great speed The horse has q large
body on short legs with bone and muscle enough to
carry very heavy weight; large fax tail. which he
carries high, and long white blonde name.
which, streaming above the neck, makes a very
snowy picture Should there be good sleighing be-
fore next Monday it is possible that this remarkable
looking horse may be seen on the road again.
The above gelding and colts were not all that the
visitors the Excelsior stable had the pleasure Of
looking at Hopeful, the trotting wonder there,
whose record to wagon is 2:161s the fastest ever
made, who led out several times from his box
and was much admired by all present.

In a note to the publishers OF his

They never meant revolution. They

ed to say SO several times when the op-

because it was irrelevant. Now that

uncommonly anxious to disclaim any

A SUFFERING country will ring with
loud rejoicing, and the burdens OF
heavy and unjust taxation will be
speedily lifted when it is known that
the House of Representatives has pass
ed bill reducing the tax on tobacco,
one of the prime necessities of life, from
twenty. four to sixteen cents per pound.
A strong effort will be made to reduce
the tax on whisky in the same proper
tiOn. When these two so much need
ed reforms have been accomplished,
and the people relieved from these OPP
pressive burdens, Congress can cheer
fully go home with the consciousness
that 1t has met the demands of the
country for economy and reform, and
is entitled to the "well done, good and
