AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-On Tuesday,
Judge Mclaughlin rendered decision in the
case of the lawyers against the city. 1t was
claimed by number of attorneys whose Off
ces were around the court house, that mas
much as they did not use the city water, they
should not be compelled to pay the water tax.
In many cases they were in possession of
rented property. Each Office was charged a
specific water tax of three or four dollars. A
test case was made and submitted to the court,
and ON Tuesday last Judge Mclaughlin rem
dered decision sustaining the ordinance and
compelling the parties to pay whether they
used the water or not

JUDGE RIvRs-The Lynchburg Vsrysssdn.
of the 25th, has the following reference to the
rumor that Judge Rives intended to resign his
position. His court was in session in Lynch
burg when the paper was issued; Judge
Rives ridicules the idea that he intends to re-
sign, although he has served sufficient length
of time to retire, if he chooses, upon full pay.
He loves the law, and prefers an active life SO
long as his health will permit the proper dis
charge of his duties"

THE OUTGOING SECRETARY.

u +.
There are few papers and but few
that improve the occasion to give. Sec
rotary Blaine a parting dig on his leav-
ing the State department. Without ex-
ception it seems to be an exhibition of
malignancy and narrowness. The gen.
eral verdict is unmistakable that Mr..
Blaine has added greatly to bis reputa-
ton. in the short and trying time that
he has been at the head of the State
department, as a prudent, sagacious and
brilliant statesman. There can be no
reasonable doubt that he has stronger
hold on the country than ever before.
His bearing all through the terrible or
deal of the Garfield tragedy was singu-
larry circumspect aud manly. His dis
patches we're always straightforward and
perspicuouly expressed, never deceiving
the public and never wanting in hope
when there was any ground for it. His
dispatches on the several international
questions that have arisen, notably the
Panama question and the Peruvian
CHILEAN question, have set forth with re
markable force and clearness, the tru,
American position. He has been caugh
with no flaws 10 bis, armor anywhere
and his whole course has added TO TIL
honor and respect due to the republic
from other nations, however caption

may be.

The unfortunate situation of Irish af-
fairs does not seem to change for the
better. The popular feeling seems to
be growing more and more favorable to
the land act, yet many of the people are
actually intimidated from accepting the
benefits to he derived from the act, by
certain element led by selfish and de-
singing demagogues. Whether the ques-
ton of refusing to pay rent be right or
wrong it is certain that those who re-
fuse to pay rent have no right to intim-
idate or compel others to act with them.
If a tenant desires to pay his rent it is a
monstrous wrong for the ''no rent" ele-
ment to attempt to prevent him by vio-
leuce and intimidation. 1t IS pretty
fair proof that some of the leaders of the
Irish agitation are working for personal
advantages, when they oppose and throw
every obstacle possible in the way of the
governments plan for lettering the con-
| dition of the masses. 9gea a ac

There is something peculiarly regret
full in the breaking up of the cabinet of
President Garfield. The wreck of
splendid hopes which it involve seems
unnecessary, unjust and unwise. 1t is
also an addition to the>original calamity
which should have been restricted IN
every possible shape and enlarged in
none. OF course every President is en-
titled to a Cabinet of his choice. but it
is not to be forgotten that larger con-
sideratlons than these that are merely
personal determine, in the main the
construction of Cabinet States and
sections have their representatives and
no president yet ever selected his cabi-
net from among his merely personal
friends. 1t cannot sensibly be pretend
ed by anybody that any other man in
New England can SO eonspicuously rep
resent New England as Mr.. Blaine, and
where New England's representative in
the cabinet is to come from no one can
as yet more than conjecture. feue
All these considerations do not pre-
clude hearty wish for the success of
President Arthur's Administration. He
has thus far proved to be clear and
strong in his judgment. and no doubt
he had in his own mind powerful and
conclusive reasons for calling about him
a new cabinet. If the remaining nomi
nations shall represent the whole repub
lican party and not faction alone
there will be no bar to united and
earnest support of the new Administers
ton by the entire republican party, ane
in fact by the whole Countrywide
graph. -a.aas gea 4.f = so VI
