Something Of a novelty is displayed in his

more than an ordinary position In the

DEATH OF JUDGE Roa'T T MoNTA-
GUE.-Hon. Rob't l.. Montague died of
erysipelas in the head on Wednesday
last, after few hours illness, at his res
idence in Middlesex county, aged about
So years. He was elected Lieut.. Gov
ernor IN the ticket with Gov. John
Letcher. He was a msmhef of the Con-
federate Congress until the close of the
war, at which time he returned to his
county and resumed the practice of his
profession. Soon after he was elected
to the Legislature, and was then elected
judge of the Eighth judicial circuit,
and reelected to the same high position
by the last Legislature, beating bis OPP
ponent, B. ". Lacy (the present Speak
er of the House,, by an overwhelming
majority.

The Ross Hamilton Bill Defeated-The
'RiddIeberger Bill Passed.

The plan adopted by the leading Re-
publicans to relieve their party in this
State of the odium of reputation by
trying to get the negroes in the Legisla-
ture to vote for the bill offered by Ross
Hamilton proved failure, as not sim
gle negro, except Hamilton, voted for it,
and but two white Republicans-E. 81.
Smith and II. T. Wickham. This ques-
ton came up in the House of Delegates
on Monday of last week, when Ross
Hamilton'sbill, which had been offered
as a substitute for the Riddleberger bill,
was defeated by the following vote
ayes, A.; noes, 55.
Then the Riddleberger bill which had
been amended before by striking out the
18th section and inserting new clause
that interest should be paid out of any
money in the treasury mot otherwise
appropriated" was passed in the House
v,the following vote -

Gov. Holidays Veto.

sGov. Holiday has vetoed the Riddle
berger bill as was expected, for even
those who voted for that bill knew that
he would feel compelled to do so, as he
believed sit to be in violation of the
Constitution of the State. in violation of
the constitution of the United States,
in violation of the spirit which has ever
moved and inspired the traditions of
the Commonwealth and made her name
so dear to our own citizens and so hon
ored among all men,"
This veto message is published in full
in this issue, and we hope that all of our
readers will give it careful and thought
full perusal II his bill was not passed
with any idea that it would be signed
by the Governor, nor with the idea that
it would settle the question of the pub
lie debt even if he should have signed
1t, for they knew that the courts would
be compelled to declare it unco nstitu'
tional, null and void. The sole purpose
was to keep up the agitation that politi-
cal capital might be made for the bene'
fit of ambitious demagogues, at the
expense of the honor and fame of Vir'
Qll1a.

ATTEMPT TO KILL A RUSSIAN OFF,
cER.-In st. Petersburg, Russia, on last
Tuesday, Gen. Melikoff, chief of the
new supreme executive commission,
was fired at by young man with a re-
volver in the afternoon, when alighting
from carriage at his residence in Grand
Moskaia street. Gen. Melikoff was not
hurt. The culprit was Immediately
seized by Gossack. The bullet passed
through the hack folds of Gen. Nell
koff's cloak. The would-be assassin
fired when quite close to Gen. Melikoff.
The assassin attempted to fire second
shot at Gen. Melikoff before he was
seized, but was prevented by a blow
from the General.

Decisions Of the U. s. Supreme Court.

WHAT HON. J. RANDOLPH TUCKER
SAYS OF THEM.
On Tuesday last, Col. VIM. s. Gilman,
the Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch. asked Hon. John
Randolph Tucker what he thought Of
the decisions of the Supreme Court in
the Virginia and other cases, and he
replied as follows:
THE TENNESSEE CASE.
IN the Tennessee case the Court decid-
ed that where a revenue officer of the
United States makes affidavit that b e
committed murder or any Other Grim e
against the States in the discharge of
his official duties, he may on his own
motion be tried in the Circuit Court OF
the United States. and a State court
canp6t try him. The State must have
jts IaV vindicated by q United States
court. and cannot lie tfusted to try q
United States officer. His rights must
be protected by United States court.
and the State must trust it for vindicat-
ing her law; but her court cannot be
trusted to do Justice 10 an accused citi-
zen, if Ae be United States officer.
THE PATRICK-COUNTYC CASES.
In the Virginia cases of BurwelI and
another negro the same doctrine was
held as to colored people. They may
be tried ~ 9 circuit court of the United
States If they make oath that their
equal rights will not be respected BY a
State court. Thus there is o large priv
LEGGED class upraised in the country
revenue oHicers Of the United States and
eolored people who are peivileged to
be tried III either State or Federal court.
as they may elect, while the white peo,
pie who are not revenue officials have
no such choice. This is the "euual pro.
lection of the laws" of which we hear
so much.
THE WEST VIRGINIA CASE,
In West Virginia case the law of
west Virginia allowing only white
people to be put on juries was declared
unconstitutional, and a conviction Of q
negro by State court where that law
was administered Was reversed. Tn us
Congress annuls State law as to the
constitution Qfjuries, and the Supreme
Court sanctions it.
THE CASE OF JUDGE COLES.
IN the case of the United States Us.
Coles it was held that Judge Coles could
be tried and punished for not putting
colored people on juries, as the law Of
Virginia allowed it and the law of Con-
gress required it. The question is net
whether colored people should or should
not be put en- jules by State law, but
whether Congress can order it and reg
ulate the mode of constituting juries.
The Court held that Congress- can do SO
under the fourteenth amendment, and
yet the greater right of suffrage was not
included under the terms of the four
teenth amendment, else there would
have been no need of the fifteenth
The adoption Of tie

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

GOV. HOLIDAYS VETO OF THE RIDDLE
BERGER BILL, IRONICALLY ENTITL-
ED, IA BILL TO RE-EsTABLISH THE
PUBLIC CREDIT"
10 tho Honorable the Senate.
The bill entitled IA bill to re-estab-
lish the Public Credit" is before me.
This is most captivating title, and
ought to arouse in the breast of every
citizen of Virginia the profoundest in
terest. The subject is of as vast impor-
tance as any that hos engaged their at
tehtiol since colonial times, not only on
account of the magnitude Of the material
interests involved, but also because 1t is
freighted with moral ISSUES which no
State can be oblivious Of and survive.
1t is not amiss for us to remember that
neither States nor individuals can give
their own definition ofterms and expect
them to be accepted by the world. and
applied as themselves may desire or
dictate. Neither can they by their own
will decree that their acts are right by
reason Oftheir mere sovereignty or pow
er, and claim recognition from others by
simple declaration OF their virtue. The
exercise Of might does not make right,
nor
THE PROCLAMATION OF HONESTY
establish that confidence which springs
from both profession and experience,
and is tine foundation of al! credit,
No State can despise, or neglect this
great principle. For it Is this which a.
bove everything else gives it position
among the peoples of the earth, and
throws around its own citizens that
character and protection which make
them fair competitors for the prizes af-
ter which civilized men over the world
are now contending. In this race
science and art have brought the inha.
bitants Of Christendom in close rivalry,
and the shadow of discredit thrown over
4 State by its own acts, casts blight
upon the efforts of its citigeus and fatal
II retards their growth and PROSPERITY.
More than this; the citizens them
selves are ever inspired by the genius of
the State under whose mSis they live
One rule governs both. 1t Is desper-
ate blunder to suppose that State
though it may have or assume the pow
er, has any the more the right to violate
the fundamental rules which control
human conduct and when it does, it
holds out an example to ltg people, which
when carried to its legitimate results,
will pall down the pillars Of fhegoyeFn:
ment itself.
I am sure no one will deny these
truths. Have they any application to
the condition of affairs in Virginia? Isl
her public credit lost, and how does this
bill purpose ta fe>estghlish it.

BADLY BURNED.-We learn from the
Lewisburg Criterion that, in Greenbrier
county. w. Va. on Sunday of last
week, Miss Gabbert, daughter of Mr..
Audrey 7. Gabbert, sustained injuries
which 1t is feared may prove fatal. She
was staying at Mr.. Arbuckle Johnson's,
and went into the kitchen about II
o'clock to prepare dinner. when her
dress accidentally caught fire from the
stove. Her screams attracted M. John
sor, but before he could reach her, sh e
ran out into the open air, with the
flames streaming above her head. 1t
was with great difficulty he brought her
back and extinguished the fire, and
was himself badly burned in the opera
ton. Or. Beard was called in, and
considers her recovery very doubtful.

We learn from the Wytheville Enter

tally to one and probably to two men
(brothers) named Carico, the parties ar
rested for the onslaught being named
Robinson and Taylor. who now lie in
Jail at Wytheville awaiting indictment

both shot, while one was also stabbed.
One died soon after he received his
wounds and the other is thought to be
dangerously wounded.

PENSIONING THE RICHMOND WHId.
In the Legislature, the Readjusters
voted for bill to pay the Richmond
Wing thEee thousand dollars for pub
fishing the general laws passed by the
Legislature, though they acknowledged
that it did not have the greatest circula-
ton. tits party pension at the ex-
pense of the State.
Senator Riddleberger admitted that If
any other paper than the Wing was to
get the job be, would vote against the
bill, as he wanted that paper distributed
amongst the-peopie. and this would aid
in that distribution.
This is SO much money given for
nothing, for the city papers publish
these laws, as a matter of general inter-
est, without charge.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-On Monday of

IMPOSING ON THE PAGE COURIER. -
It would seem that some citizen OF
Staunton has been imposing upon the
credulity of the Page Courier. That
paper Of the 4th mat, contains the fol.
lowing paragraph:
I'VE learn from a reliable gentleman
from Staunt on, who has always voted
with the F unders, that the debt bill
will be ratified in Augusta county by q
large majo rity of the voters. Augusta
hes always been strong Funder coun-
ty."
The majority of the white voters Of
this good old county will never approve
bill Of population, There is too
much honesty among them for that.
