JUDGE J. E. LEONARD, Republican
member of Congress from the fifth Lou
isiana district, who went to Cuba to as
certain facts relative to the alleged kid
mapping of negroes in the Southern
States, and their sale into slavery in
Cuba, was attacked with yellow fever at
Havana, a few days after his arrival, and
died, Rumor has it hat with his dip
lomatic mission was coupled one of ten
derer character. He loved the daugh-
ter of a Cuban family, but the course
of his passion did not run smooth, be-
cause Of the opposition of the parents
of his %fancee, and one of his objects in
visiting the island, was to bring his suit
to a successful conclusion. Judge
Leonard was a native of Pennsylvania,
and much respected in his adopted
State.

SENATOR ALLISON, having been inter

SENATOR ALLISON, having been inter-
viewed at length by a Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune, has
very freely expressed his fear of the re-
suits of a repeal of the Resumption act.
To so amend that act as to simply post
pone the date of resumption might not
seriously effect the relative values of
coin and g~reenbacks, Mr.. Allison be-
lieves. But the repeal of the act would
inevitably cause the greenback to fall
below the value of the silver dollar and
keep the latter out of circulation. The
question of repeal is now before the
Senate Committee on Finance, of which
Senator Allison is a member; the House
having passed the bill thus pending.

The Last New Organ.

From the Newark Ledger
"For Mr. Curtis we would say that he
has clearly expressed himself as favoring
Senator Bayard's principle on the money
question, which, as every one knows, is
the principle OF HONEST MONEY, with
the single gold standard. The idea that
Mr. Curtis, staunch Republican, should
join hands with a mongrel Democratic
Greenback organ is absurd and the soon
er the GAZETTE changes its tune and
Joins hands with Messrs. Curtis and Bay
ard, the better it will he for itself and
the factions II represents"
Where did the editor of the Ledger get
his ideas We thought the GAZETTE
had been fighting for hard money cur
rency-gold and silver-for many
months, and we believe gold and silver,
and paper convertible into coin. forms
the money plank in the Delaware plat
form. 1t would be better for the Ledqey
to ascertain whether Mr.. Bayard is not
in favor of gold and silver.

THE Virginia Court of Appeals has
decided that where white and colored
persons go out of the State and marry
each other and return and take I'D their
abode on Virginia soil they are liable to
prosecution under the law which pro-
hibits miscegenation. The marriage is
held to be null and void and the naI4ios
for living together can be prosecuted fo,
lewd and lascivious conduct. This is q
rather important decision. 1t is not held
that the State can punish the parties to,
the act of marriage performed outside the
States jurisdiction, but that no marriau,
has taken place at all.
This decision is based upon State law.
very similar to the laws in Delaware
and we believe is in accordance with til,
opinions of the great mass of our people
The decision has the sanction of the bet

FROM the great number OF people that

LAST DAY FOR PAYING PoLL-TAX.-
The Philadelphia Leiger says: One OF
The qualifications for voting in this State
S the payment Of State or county (city)
lax within the two years next preceding
election day; and this tax must have
been assessed at least two months prior
TO the election, and must be pad at least
one month prior. To-day is the last day
for payment. Everybody, therefore, who
has not paid taxes for the years 1877 Oh
lsls, should attend to that business to-
DAY.
