For even the Dispatch, we imagine, VIII
concede that, although no court OF the Com
monwealth would undertake to prevent tue
meeting Of the General Assembly or pro-
hibit the payment Of the members by an In
junction served on the State AUDITOR, the
resistance OF any enactment OF the present
session on the ground of the unconstltutlon-
aIity OF the said session might very naturally
and probably bring the whole subject under
Judicial MISUNDERSTANDING appeal.
We admit that anybody has right to
question the constitutionality OF the pres
ant session OF the General Assembly. We
admit. as Mr.. CeaHILL conterded, that II
there was any doubt as to the constitution
a,ity OF this session, and the Legislature
should pass the bill comforting rights asked
by the canal company, that any OF its stock
holders might at any time contest the legal
ity of such an act.
We admit anything and everything that
goes no farther than CoGHILL's, TALIAFER-
Ro's, or BocoCK's language would justify.
But we will add that all such contests
would end in smoke; that no court would
under the circumstances think OF adjudg-
ing the present to be an unconstitutional
session; that any Judge who would do SO
would merit impeachment. In a word, we
bold that where there is so much room for
doubt as to which is the right construction
OF the Constitution. any Judge who is fit to
sit upon the. bench would decide that the
Legislature had settled the question. ri.

letter from Richmond,

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette.l
RICHMOND, December "a prominent
member of the House in conversation with
the Gazette'S correspondent this morning
took a rather gloomy view Of the chances
of the settlement OF the debt question.
Said he, awe cannot do anything unless
there is some accommodation between the
Legislature and the Governor. He has
checkmated US in every way, and don't
see how We can do anything"
The question Of the election Of the cir
cult judges is beginning to agilate the mem.
bers Of the Legislature now. The election
takes place next Tuesday. For the Alex
andria circuit as yet no great opposition has
been developed indeed, it may be predicted
that the present incumbent will be reflect
ed. In the Sixteenth circuit Judge Kelly
will be opposed by Mr.. j. Fl. Wood, and
probably Senator Fulkerson will be urged.
In the Eighth circuit Judge r. L. Montague
will be opposed by Judge B. w. Lacy, the
member OF the, House from New Kent.
Here the fight will be lively one.., In the
Third circuit Judge Asa Dickinson, will be
opposed by Willis j. Dance, member OF the
House from PoWhatan, and long q lead
ing member Of the Powhatan bar. Here,
too, the fight will be little live
". In the 5 Twelfth ) circuit Judge
Turner has no opposition. In tue lehtn
circuit Judge William S. Barton will have
some. opposition, and Mr.. Critcher's claims
will be presented, and his friends claim that
he is. strong. In the Thirteenth circuit
Judge William S. Mclaughlin will, it is
\ nd erstood, be opposed by Major James
Dorman, of Lexington Mir. Frazier, the
member from Rockbridge, will present the
name of Major Dorman. For the Eleventh
circuit Judge Keith will have no oppose
ton, it is understood. From interviews
with the delegates so far, the Gazette's corr
respondent has learned that the main,op.
position TO the present incumbents will be
intthe persons Of those gentlemen named.
But it is assumed, and indeed predicted,
that,sevefal OF the others will have oppo.
snents. The friends OF many of the candi-
dates are fighting and working quietly. !.
Amemorial, signed by many OF the MEM
bers OF the Hampton bar, has been addressed
| to the General Assembly asking that Judge
Montague, Of the Eighth circuit, be 3ie-
moved. 3t1. nc

Judge RRves Explains his BurWeia':
b Reynolds Decision.
rRv teleoran Mn 20 the New Yor

BY Telegraph 10 the Scw YORK E1eraaiu'J s#E.s
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, December TO-
Your correspondents bad an interview THIS
evening with Judge Alexander Rives. OF
the United States Court, whose recent decl-
sion in the case of Burwcll aud Lee Rey-
nolds has occasioned 80 much comment IN
all newspapers OF the country, and IS now
under consideration in the Legislature Of
the state. Judge Rives was quite willing
to converse with reference to the matter,
and in response to question as to what he
thought OF the action OF the Legislature he
said that he was not surprised. He was
aware that the questions involved in his de-
cision were grave, novel, and delicate. The
law on which the application OF the parties
is founded is not familiar to the bar gene
rally, and far less to the public at large;
hence any action under 1t is liable to be mis-
understood and misrepresented.
~ SIMPLY ENFORCING THE CONSTITUTIONAL )
81 at :! - AMENDMENTS. ''s.3 ~;
Judge Rives expressed his regret that
there should be any conflict of iuI isdiction
between the Federal and State courts, and
thought they ought to be avoided whenever
possible. In the consideration Of the case in
question:, had he consulted his own peace
and the public repose, ne would have denied
the petition OF the prisoners, but paramount
to such considerations was his duty and de-
termination to execute the law OF Congress
In behalf of the bumblest, so as to secure the
equal rights of all citizens, as guaranteed by
the fourteenth amendment. Judge RiVes
was free to say that he regarded the law OF
Congress as anomalous, but at the same
time as explicit and constitutional. He
therefore felt constrained to grant the petit
ton OF the condemned men. -,
LET THE LEGISLATURE SECURE CHANGE. g
"But what will the Legislature do about
it?" inquired your correspondent.
Judge RiYes do not know. l have no
complaint to make of the Legislature. The
legislation Of the. State has been all right,
requiring the juries to be summoned With
out reference to color. The fault is in the
courts and officers In my own court l
have always ordered mixed iurles, and have
not discovered that harm has resulted from
it; on the contrary, the lawyers seem to
prefer them. 81. .-.... .l... 49,
Judge Riyes evidently holds that it is I'M
fair to try negroes by white men eXclu-
sively. and that the difficulty admits OF
remedy by the State. -. That remedy is to be
found, he thinks, in such legislation as will
compel courts and their officers to recog-
nize their full duty under the constitu-
tional amendments. Then there will be no
possibility OF interference which offends the
dignity OF the State and arouses the indig-
nation of her people. ..@1.-.
