ice which makes travelling dangerous, and
increases the risk of the boys and girls

who appeared TO be elected 10 the two

forced into such q position by the iiiegai

made on January 18th, were made by a
majority or the members appearing 10 be
elected and having the priDa Jacie right to

Editor Of the journal Of Copnerce:
We noticed decision in A newspaper a
few months ago, OF the Supreme Court OF
Ohio, allowing damages to party who bad

that the " dun" was q mere request for
payment, white another party says that

A SUBSCRIBER.
Repiy.. The report OF the case referred
to, II correctly placed, does not seem TO
have found record in the legal periodicals,
aud we bave not been able to trace it. Pos
sibly a recent decision in the Irish High
Court OF Justice, said to have been the first
OF its kind, may have been converted by
newspaper misprint into an Ohio case.
There the defendant creditor wrote to his
debtor on a postal card, |" Your plea Of i'll
ness for not paying this trifle Is mere moon.
shine" The Court held this language libel
lous because il implied false preteBce on the
part Of the debtor. and because its being
written on postal card constituted pub
licatiOn. The same language in a letter
would not have been q legal libel, for want
of publication. We cannot believe, how
ever. that a respectful "dun," even on
postal card, can baye constituted TIE basis
OF Judgment for damages. The Federal
statute makes it misdemeanor, punishable
by fine and Imprisonment, TO mail postal

Drsr s,rs.-- have heard and read great
deaf about coupons. hut must confess tbat
7 st,iI do not exactly understand what
counon IL. and as I, as well rs many others,
war,d like yery much to know Just exactly
what coupon is, and why coupons nave
been used In vireinis, trust you VIII De
40 Kind as 10 give full explanation OF the
meaning and use Of coupons 10 TIE columns
OF The Weekly Dispatch. A SUBSCRIBER.
In general terms, coupon Is th'ng cut
on. The word "couponv comes from tue
French word "couper," which means Ito
cn,v or "to cut of.v The English word
!. cooper is cognate word. FORMERLY tue
Virginia State bonds were all registered In
the Capitol, and all persons who owned them
had to present the bonds, or themselves.
or a power Of attorney at the Captoi
in order to collect the interest due upon
them. Now IL Is otherwise. Following
tie example set by other States. by ma
tious, by railroad companies, &c, &C., V'r'
cinia prepared bonds each enc OF which
contained number OF " coupons THAI Is,
certificates to be cut off. The number de.
pends upon how long the bond Is TO run.
when thus cut of these certificates may be
sent to Richmond, and thus the interest
upon the bonds be collected without pre-
sentipg the bonds themselves. Coupons are
as good as money II they are cut OIL from the
bonds OF Boston, New York, Richmond, the
Federal Government, or any other CITY
or State tba, honestly pays Its interest
when due Being as good as money
eoupops OF course soon became RS
sslabIe as anything else. They passed
from hand TO hand at value, the
last holder presenting them at the proper
place, and collecting the money for them
this money being nothing more nor less
than the interest due upon the bonds.
When this got to be the case, the next step
YVES very easy and very natural, and this
step was an agreement upon the part OF the
State that as she was bound to give the cash
for the coupons OF her bonds whenever
these coupons or certificates were presented
in Richmond, she would receive them for
taxes, not in Richmond only, but anywhere
in Virginia that they might be presented.
These coupons are in fact certificates stating
that the State OF Virginia will thus receive
them for taxes from anybody she owes and
who owes her for taxes. II is an easy way
to pay interest; an easy way to collect
taxes; and an easy way to pay taxes.
There are other kinds OF coupons; but as
our correspondents question is fully an
swered, we need say nothing about them.

WITH her NEGRO HUSBAND.
GALEsBURG, ILL, September 90 Mon
roe. the negro who married Miss Chase,
was released from Jail on 5000 bail Satur-
day. He has had no opportunity OF seeing
his wife since their marriage, as she was
spirited away 10 relatives at Kenosha. a
startling act connected with the affair took
place this morning at the depot here. Miss
Chase. accompanied by her two brothers
and her brother.in.lsw, Rev. G. IL.
Higgins, were aboard the O'Clock pas
senger train for Peoria, where Hon.
Horace Chase, one OF her brothers, re-
sides. Miss Chase was scarcely seated in
the car when, to the surprise OF all, her
coIored husband put In an appearance and
insisted on seeing his wife. An alteration
took place between him aud the young
lady's relatives, during which blows were
exchanged. Horace Chase drew revolver
and shot at the retreating negro. The bali
missed It's mark and struck Mr.. George
Croker, wei-known merchant, in the
shoulder. His wound Is not serious. This
brought together a great crowd, and a
regular rOugh.and-tumble fight took place
upon the platform, in which Monroe, the
Chase brothers, aud policemen were par
tIcipants. Monroe escaped unharmed, and
Horace Chase was taken before the Police
Court and gave bonds for bis appearance
next Tuesday. Monroe was discharged, no
one appearing against him. Miss Chase and
her relatives went to Peoria on the next
train. The excitement runs high, and it Is
difficult to see what course affairs may take.
No one appears to know the sentiments Of
the Young lady about the affair, but her
friends claim that she was out OF her mind
when she married the negro. Sam says be
is bound to have his wife.

Without developing any clue as to the

OF Mrs. Sargent, which were buried last
Saturday, to be disinterred and a photo

her eye. This was taken in charge by
Assistant District.Attorney Wolf, who will
cause II to be enlarged and developed TO
ascertain whether the features OF the as.
sassin were indelibly fixed upon 1t In her
dying glance. This theory WAS advanced
by Daguerre, the inventor OF the daguerreo-
type art, and has been held by several
French savants since, and this test will be
made to ascertain It's value In the detection
Of the crime. II 1t fails. the identity OF the
murderer Will probably never be ascer.

OF Mrs. DR.. Hull, but the arrest OF Chsstine
Cox by Mr.. Balch In Boston rendered its
development unnecessary.
