THE Tobacco Tax.

II would be good idea for our Legisla-
ture to instruct the Virginia senator's anu
request the Virginia representatives in
Congress to try TO secure the abolition Oh
the tobacco tax. II DIR. Arthur could be
approached on this subject, and he would
agree to grant us this great boon instead OF
few miserable offices, the people OF this
state might begin to believe that he does
not train with the GRANT, CoNKLrNG, Lo-
GAN, and CAMERON crowd. Give us free
dom from this tax, Mr.. President, and you
may have all your offices for the genuine,
original Republicans. But whilst you con-
tinue il, don't expect to toll Nirglnnns
into the Republican party by dropping
few small offices here and there.

Quoted by Mr.. ii. c. Raymond, at present

has been demonstrated by his devoting to
labor night and day in order TO insure its
completion in time for the opening. Mr..
Raymond was much exposed to night
damp, naturally incidental in the erection
OF an enormous new building, such as the
Peoples, and the result was the contraction
Of a severe case of rheumatism in the left
leg. A single application of st. Jacobs Oil
brought relief, and in a very short time the
pain disappeared entirely. Mr.. Raymond

currence OF similar trouble.

Chcsapeake and Ohio Bonds.
LONG LITIGATION ENDED BY THE SETTLE
MENT OF TWO SUITS.

A LONG LITIGATION ENDED BY THE SETTLE
MENT OF TWO SUITS.
At the time that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company failed it owed the
Ohio Falls Car and Locomotive Company
about 100000 for cars furnished il, for
which notes had been gwen, and as col
lateral security large amount in bonds OF
the railroad company. Upon the failure
the car company sold the collaterals, then
nearly valueless, and through j. Il. Fitch,
their attorney in this city, brought suit
against the directors OF the railroad COM
pany for damages, claiming that it had been
induced TO take the securities through false
representations as to their value. At the
time Of the reorganization OF the railroad
company into the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company the parties who bought
the old bonds deposited them with the
Central Trust Company OF New York, to
be surrendered to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company, and received under the
plan OF Reorganization certificates OF said
trust company emitting the holders TO the
equivalent Of said bonds i'm new securities
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany. When the holders OF said certiti-
Gates demanded the securities, however,
| these were refused, and Mr.. Fitch, in their
behalf, brought another suit therefor.
Many motions have been made therein, j.
II. Storrs acting on behalf OF the railway
company, and the Court finally ordered the
securities deposited in the Central Trust
Company pending the final judgment.
They had appreciated meanwhile, and
the damages for their detention had reached
a considerable figure (about SG0, 0O0). Find
ing they were TO have lengthy and eX-
pensiye litigation, the holders OF the GER
tificates succeeded in getting the trustees
and creditors OF the Car and Locomotive
Company, which had also failed and been
re0rganized meanwhile, to withdraw the
suit for false representations, which still
dragged It's weary length along in the
United States Circuit Court. the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company agreeing,
in case that was done, to pay over the value
OF the withheld bonds and damages. This
has at length been done. The requisite
authority from the courts having been pro-
cured yesterday, the whole matter was
closed up By the payment Of large sum in
railroad bonds. and discontinuances were
gwen In both Suits. thus ending long and
bitterly-fought litigation.-Ne,c York

Physical Education or, The Health Lars

New York: ID. APPLETON Il co. 1SS2.
Price Si.
We have read the contents OF this little
book-the best, perhaps, that was ever
published on the particular subjects which
belong to the title of it-that is, the health
laws of nature. The only objection to the
book that we have observed is its refer
ences to religion and religious teachers.
DR.. OSWALD is himself, we judge. mate
rialist, and has no kind words for anybody
who does not agree with him in his mate
rialistic notions. The book is intended not
for physicians, nor for any other particular
class, but il written dow, to the compre-
hensiOn OF the average reader.

Yielding to the Demands

NEW YORK, April 10.-The marble
workers strike still continues. \. Woke
linz notified his men to resume work 1T the
increased rates - a day to marble-polish-
ers and $3.50 per day to marblc-cutters.
Barley BROTHERS and \. Stafford, two other
firms, have also yielded, and their men
have returned TO work. Thus far six
firms where the men struck have sue
cumbcd, and it is now considered only a
question OF time when the other strikers
will have returned to work at increased
pay.
The carpenters who have been on strike
demanded an increase Of wages Of from SO TO
$3.50 per day from their employers, and up
to noon fifty OF the principal builders in
the city had given in. The shareholders
also demanded an increase Of fifty cents a
day, which was generally granted. Where
it was refused the men went on strike.

faorernor Cameron,s veto.


Judge LYBRooK and General NEwnERRY
have advocated the calling OF convention
TO frame new Constitution for Virginia.
We arc decidedly In favor OF the measure
ourselves, for reasons which we need not
now specify. Nobody WHO believes that
Virginia should encourage the establish
ment OF new factories Of all sorts in this
State by exemptiny them from taxation for
n number Of years ought TO oppose the
framing Of a new Constitution. The pres
ent Constitution Is explicit in its require
mcnt that "all property, both real and
personal, shall be taxed in proportion 70
its value"; and this must be done,
whether the taxation be " imposed by the
State, county, or corporate bodies"
Again: "No one species Of property from
which a tax may be collected shall be taxed
higher than any other species OF property
of equal yalue.'' This last sentence seems
to mean that no species Of property en-
ployed i'm a manufacturing establishment
shall be taxed less than any other species
OF property Of equal value employed IN
any other sort OF establishment. To prove
that such is its meaning, we need only
quote from another section Of the same arti-
cle--as follows:
"Tbe capital invested in all business
operations shall be assessed ana taxed as
other property"
So much for the Affirmative argument.
The negative Is also drawn from the Con-
stitution. When that instrument enume-
rates the kinds Of property which may be
exempted from taxation, II does not men
ton property employed in manufacturing
establishments. It's language is as fol-
lows:
"The Legislature may exempt all prop
ertv used exclusively for State, county,
municipal. benevolent, charitable, educa-
fional, and religious purposes"
1t seems 70 us that the Governors point
is clearly made out. Therefore we cannot
but approve his veto of the bill to incorpo-
rate the Virginia Mining, Milling and Trans
portation Company. 1t is true that an obi
ter dictum OF the Supreme Court OF APP
peals can be produced to show that the bill
was not unconstitutional; but as the ques-
ton was never argued before that court,
and as IL has never decided the same, we
must take our own construction OF the Con-
stitution to be the true one.
But let us have a new Constitution; and
if the people desire manufacturing estab-
lishments to be exempted from taxation let
their will be made a part OF the new or
ganic law OF the state.
