The Coupon KILLER CAsE.-The case of
the Commonwealth VS.. Smith was decided
by the Court of Appeals yesterday. All that
the case involved was that it was not in
tended oy the act of January 14th, 1882,
known as Coupon-Killer No. l, to forbid the
collecting officers to receive coupons from
the bonds issued under the McCulloch bill
Therefore McCuloch-b coupons are good
to pay taxes with. But Coupon Killer No.
2, chapter Al of the acts of 1SS1-'S2, goes in
to effect on the lst of December, and that
in terms forbids the officers to receive any-
thing but gold and silver and United States
currency. hcCuloch coupons will only be
good therefore for seven days, and most
probably the Auditor will refuse to receive
them from the treasurers after December

A Good Move.

GOOD Move.
Some prominent men in the Northern
States are making an effort to secure the
united influence Of clergymen and statesmen
to prevent the present widespread desccra-
ton of the Sabbath. To stopSunday travel
ling on steamboats, and railways, to force the
various corporations to allow this right to
the thousands of overweight mechanics
and conductors and engineers and iiremen
and mail-carriers, and postoflice clerks, and
to keep one class ofmen from robbing another
class of men Of their needed rest on the
seventh day, is the object Of this contem-
plated combined effort.
1t will be necessary to memorabilia Con-
gress, and send mammoth petitions to all
the State Legislatures, in order to effect the
end aimed at, and sotworthy purpose
deserves at least serious consideration.
1t would startle many good Christian
people to know how large proportion of
men are kept busy on the Sabbath, TO the
injury of their health, separated from their
families, who are kept disordered by the
necessarily irregular habits of the fathers,
brothers and sons, and cut off from all or
portunities of recreation and mental i'm
provement.
The point iss-made By philanthropist;
engaged in this movement in behalf of their
suffering fellow citizens, thatno good reason
exists for keeping the postoffices open or for
running any railroad trains, passenger or
freight, on Sunday that no real gain can
come from trying to carry on traffic at the
expense of the health and morals of those
who are compelled to labor on the day set
apart for rest and public Worship that no
good can come from wrong doing. XXX.

The Court of Appeals has decided that
even though the coupons of the bonds OF
ISL may lawfully be refused by the collect
ing officers of the Commonwealth in pay
ment for taxes yet the coupons of the bonds
of 1879 must be received by them, since
these latter are not named in the act
of Assembly which the officer mentioned
in the case relied upon to protect him in his
retusual to receive them. The decision is
not regarded as of great importance, the Su-
premc Court of the United States soon hay
ing to pass upon the act under which the
case arose.

AMONG THE first bills that Congress
should pass at the coming session should be
one creating some sort of tribunal to which
all private claims against the Government
may be referred. There will hardly be
more than sixty real working days in the
next session. but it will be a wonder if a
large portion of that limited time be not
consumed in the consideration Of private
claims. Even if Congress had the time to
consider such claims it would not be the
proper body to decide upon their justice;
courts, and courts only should do that, and
there are SO many of those claims that a
court ought to be created whose sole duty it
should be to decide upon their legality and
equity.

SESAToR-ELEcr RlDDLEDERGER says he

ial care not to say that the words nscrbcd to
him in the reported interviewdo no express
his present ideas on the subjects referred to.
Mr.. Rddlchcrger can sec the course of pop
ular opinion as well as anybody else, and
though he is by no means above mcdiocri-
ty, he has sense enough not to put himself
Il young and ambitious man: in opposition
to that course. And then, too, though he
severed the bands that bound him to the
democratic party, he has not, like General
Malone and the other prominent men of his

ALEXANDRIA, Y

THE STEADY advance Of Virginia bonds
as the day for the trial of the coupon killer
by the U. 5. Supreme Court approaches, is
looked upon by those who deal in such COM
modlics as sure indication that the
decision Of that court will be that
the bill passed by General Mahonc's
Legislature and known as the coupon
killer" is unconstitutional, and that there
fore the coupons must be received by the
State Of Virginia at their par value in set
Element Of any sums that may be due her.
When this decision shall be rendered the
State will be sadly in need of her six mil
lion interest in the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, which she sold to General Ma
hone for four million, but only got five
hundred thousand, and one fifth of that
the General appropriated to the establish
ment of q negro normal school, but not a
cent to establish similar school
for the white people of his State.
She will also feel the want of the thousands
squandercd in Transforming the Governors
mansion into u palace, of the thousands
thrown away in printing the two issues of
the worthless Riddlebcrger bonds, of the
thousands spent in paying Mahonc's Off
Gals unwarrantcd increased salaries, of the
thousands given to the members Of the Gen
erals Legislature for its totally unnecessary
extra session. and of the numerous other
large sums rapaciously snatched from the
treasury for no good nor legitimate purpose
since the General has had control of the
State. Virginia will feel this want to the
strings of her heart, but how it will be sup
piled is not easy to tell.

THE NUMBER of votes Mr.. IIubbell will

Gus of the republican members Of the Mich
igan Legislature will show the disposition of
at least some of the money he exacted from
the women and children whose dire ncces-
sity forces them to work for the Govern
ment. Henderson, Hubbell's Secretary Sc
cured his election to Congress with some of
this money, and q large share went to the

Virginia. and then too, there were weekly
champagne parties TO Cabin John Bridge;
but there was still large portion left, and
whether Mr.. lIubbell has used it to elect
himself to the U. S. Senate as Mr. Hender-
son used his share to elect himself to the

where it will do him even more good, will
be determined when the republican caucus

The hlDDLEBERGER bill was passed last
winter. The States just debt amounts to
thirty odd million. OF this sum about two
millions have been funded into Rildlebcr-
ger bonds, up to date. At this rate especi-
ally in view of the decision of the State
Court of Appeals yesterday, and the expect
ed decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, it will take about as long to
refund the debt into Riddleberger bonds as
twill to pay it, and that, too, though there
were two issues of those bonds. the printing
OF which cost the State thousands upon
thousands of dollars that she could i'll

REPUBLICANS have no disposition
to retrace their steps on the State
debt question, or to ''crawfish" from
the position they assumed in the last
canvass. Their platform was clear
and pointed, and boldly met the
questions at issue. Gov. Hawkins
made bold and vigorous canvass
upon that platform, and was trl-
umphantly elected. In his admins
tration he has faithfully carried out
the principles he proclaimed from
the stump. The Republican
members of the Legislature
were true to their profess
sions, and made record on the State
debt question to which all Republi-
cans may point with pride and salts
faction. To desert our platform
now, and the record made by our
Governor and representatives in the
Legislature, would be an act of cow
ardice We would forfeit the conf
dence of the world and lose respect
for ourselves. 1t would show that
we are only miserable trimmers and
time-servers, afraid to meet the
storms of popular prejudice and
void Of principle.
If we would succeed, we must be
men of courage. Ii we would COM
mand popular confidence and sup
port, we must show ourselves worthy
of it. The right way is the only
way that succeeds in the end. If we
cover before the brass bands, CHS
nese gongs, rattle>traps and the
various devices resorted to by GU,
opponents, meant to brighten the
tlmid and the weak ones, how much
better are we than they?
