The Social Stntus of the Negro In
Respect to Marriage Decided.

up Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch. I.
STANTON. VA, October 3.--The Supreme
Court Of Appeals to-day decided an import
ant case, establishing the social status Of the
negro in this State with respect to marriage.
Judge Christian delivered the opinion of
the court. It was held that a marriage be-
tween negro aud white woman dcmociIed
In this State who went into the District OF
Columbia aud were there married and re-
turned to this State, were acting in evasionof
the statute law Of Virginia, which, declares
such marriage so celebrated, and could not
be pleaded in bar Of criminal prosecution
against the parties for lewd and lascivious
cohabitation. Such marriage was mere
evasion OF the statute law, which declares
that all such marriages. are absolutely void.
The opinion is an elaborate one, reviewing
the English and American decisions, and
declaring that it is to the interest and proper
development OF both races. and in accord
ance with pronounced public policy OF the
State, declared in its legislation for more
than century, that marriage between ne
croes and whites and the intermingIing OF
the races should be prohibited by law.

CORRESPONDENCE OF the Richmond Dispa,ch.1
OCTOBER 5, 1878.
The internal revenue from tobacco ror
Inst month was $3.50. 765.0S; for September,
1877. the revenue FROM tobacco was $780,
l9l s..
The total amount OF the revenue for last
month was Sl67,157.55; for SeptemDe.,
1877. Sl6S. 530.9l. 1t is remarkable that the
amounts for the two months should be so
nearly equal. VI the items OF the tax ior last
month that on distilled spirits was 81 ,O92.GO;
that for licenses was S259.33; that Iron as
scsSments was Sf0.2S.
The internal revenue from tobacco for TIT
wear ending the 30th ultimo was Sl,24S.-
3l4.75: Tor the preceding year, Sl,202,-
597.4l. 1t is rather surprising that the
amounts which show the business OF one
branch OF the tobacco trade for the last tw
wears should differ by only about $4J,100,
and that this difference should be in favor
OF last year. -
The quantity OF leaf tobacco sold during
the wear ending or the 30th ultimo IS estl-
mated Mt 36,727.272 pounds; the market
value thereof at S2,347 ,203.99; the average
ner 100 pounds at $S.14. | have the means
OF knowin. that this will vary but very
slightly. if at all, from the official estimate,
which President Terrell will report ut the
annual meeting OF the Tobacco Association
on Monday next. The quantity sold during
the preceding year was l6,426, 296 pounds;
the value OF ii, s2,033,977; the average per
100. S123S. This comment may be made
on these figures That the quantity sold
last year was greater than that OF the pre-
ceding wear by more than 100000 pounds,
the average per 100 less by 1854, and the
amount paid out for the tobacco greater by
more than $4,000.
The matter Of sewerage and drainage has
often been under the consideration OF the
Council. At the Meeting held last evening
it was ordered that Committee on Sewerage
and Drainage be appointed, to whom shall
be committed all proposals relating to that
subject, and who shall have power and be
required to devise and propose to the Coun-
Gil such system OF sewerage and drainage
as NAV be deemed most efficacious and eco
nomical. The committee: MeSsrs. Pace,
Doe, and Gravely.
DR.. Robert F. Gray, Of Winston, n. o.,
and Miss Leila r. Wilson, Of the city, were
married at the Presbyterian church on the
evening OF the 1st instant. Yesterday morn
ing DR.. John Z. Lipscomb. lately OF Gin.

dence OF Captain Daniel Coleman.

The Fitz sohn Porter case.

NEW YORK, October AT the Fitz John
Porter trial to-day Captain Douglas Pope
was called for cross-eXamination by Porter's
counsel, the object being to prove, if he in
sisted in confirming his previous testimony,
that he had made subsequent statements
in conversation contradictory OF his EVIL
dence as to the 4:30 p. M. order. Witness
denied that he ever said he lost his way
when he started with the order from Gene
raj Pope to General Porter.
Colonel Dloale, of the Third United States
Infantry, declared positively that Captain
Pope repeatedly said in his hearing that he
got lost on the 29th Of August in carrying
the 4:30 p. Al. order, and did not reach
Porter until near dark. Upon being cross
examined, Colonel Moale said bis relations
with Captain Pope always were and still are
friendly, and that he was reluctant to give
the testimony.
+. Lieutenant II. D. Jones, of the Thirty
seventh Infantry, gave testimony similar to
that of Moale.
