THERE is nothing absolutely de-
cisive as to the situation between
Russia and England. Austria seems
to be in sympathy with England,
but very good judges think Aus
tria cannot afford to go to wal with
Russia, with the Poles ready for
their long sought Opportunity
Russia is said to be strengthening
her fortresses on the Austrian irons
tier. Unless England can have
Austria as an ally it would be diff
icult for her to get at Russia,
whose objective points would be
India and the Dardcnelles, and for
these Austria cares nothing. The
Bulgarian trouble and the Danube
complication can and doubtless will
be made SO rs to quiet Austria
Prussia can check Austria at any
moment, and it is thought will do
so. This would all argue that at
the last, it will be left between
England and Russia alone. In
that case England's navy would
find very little to do, and Russia's
army very little to get at.
The indications would seem to be
favorable to peace.

THE NEW DECISION.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of
Va. has rendered a decision in the
case Of Clark VS.. Tyler, which re-af-
firms in the most deliberate and pos
tive manner the decision in the case
of Antoni v. Wright, rendered in 1872.
There are several deductions from
this new Funding Bill decision.
The Supreme Court is practically
unchanged by the death of Judge
Bouldip and the election of Judge
Burks. The latter joins heartily and
completely in this new decision. He
AID Judge Anderson and Judge Chris
tian make the decision. for Judge
MOncure refused to sit because he is a
bondhoider. and Judge Staples again
d~iSsents.
1t seems that Clark rendered $50
in coupons in payment Of a fine. As
fines all 90 TO the school fund. and as
the Free Schools cannot be run with
coupons, and the constitution says
the schools shall be run with the funds
set apart for them, the coupon was
refused in payment OF the fine. The
Supreme Court was applied to for a
mandanius to compel the officer to
receive the coupon in full payment of
the fue, and it so ordered. The Court
declares that the Legislature must
levy an additional tax With which to
run the schools.
If the decision of this Court is to
stand the schools must 60 down, or
the taxes be increased. We do not
hesitate to say this is no time to do
either. We cannot now afford either
the abolition of our Free Schools nor
the confscation of III property.
The able dissenting opinion of
Staples will be published in
our next weeks issue. We consider
it absolutely irrefutable.
The following is an extract from it

1.-THE main design Of the provision
of the Constitution was to create a
fund beyond the reach Of the LPgisla-
ture, and i'm no wise dependent upon
its neglect and failure Of duty. 1t is
very true that the fines have hereto
fore been paid INTO the Treasury. in
common with other public dues, and
so long as the whole was pRid in mon
ey no Inconvenience OF injustice could
arise /; hut now tie question Assumes
All entirely different aspect, for if the
Legislature shall pass an act directing
that the fines shall he paid in money.
and The money thus paid shall he set
apart for school purposes, under the
ruling Of the court, the act would be
constitutional, because the Funding
bill declares that all public dues may
be paid in coupons. The result is that
one Legislature may. by an agree
ment with the creditor, appropriate to
his claim a fund set apart 10y the Con-
stitution irrevOcably for another pur-
pose, and if succeeding Legislatures
fail to supply other means TO meet the
deficiency. there is no remedy for a
palpable violation of that instrument.
