RECENT CUTTING AFFRAY-HYMENEAL
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
APRIL 2S, 1882.
The political caldron is boiling on this
our primary-election day TO an extent I'M
known here for years. Candidates for Office
are as thick as autumnal leaves, and a hot
canvass among the people has been made.
The contest for Mayor lies between Captain
a. III. Pettigrew, eX-Mayor Branch, and
Mr.. Robert Davis, prominent LAWYER.
For City Treasurer, Y. G.. Huntington,
the present incumbent, who has held the
Office since the war, will have no opposition
in his party, but will doubtless be opposed
at the general election by a clerk in the
United States internal revenue Office named
James Mclaughlin. The warmest fight is
for clerk OF the courts, the opposing candi-
dates being the present incumbent, Captain
Samuel ID. Preston, and Major Samuel G..
Wingfiel6. The vote for this office will be
close, and there is no predicting the result.
For City Sergeant, Captain McFadden has
no opposition, nor is Aurelius Christian OPP
posed for denomination as Commonwealth
attorney. The day i, fair. and large vote
is being polled.
Rev. j. William Jones lecturcd last night
AZ the Opera-House on "The Boys in
Gray" He had a large audience, and his

The negro Austin Wooding, who was
cut three times in the head Saturday night
with an axe welded by another darky,
named Jack Hendricks, is recovering, and
will be able to appear at the preliminary
examination OF his aSsailant before the
Mayor Saturday morning.
Wednesday afternoon, at the residence OF
the brides father, on Court street. Miss
Kate l.. Williams, daughter OF Mr.. james
q. Williams, prominent bank-Ofiicer, was
united in marriage TO Mr.. Thomas III.
Flood, son OF the large tobacconist, Major
John II. Flood.
Yesterday Mr.. John S. Morris, son Of
DR.. William S. Morris, late representa-
tive in the General Assembly from this city
and county, was married to Miss Pattie
Kcan, the highly-accomplished daughter of
City-Attorney Il. G.. ii. Kcan. The mar
rage was mt the brides home.
Wednesday, DR.. Charles Slaughter, a
rising young physician Of this city, was

The death Of ID. NJ. EDGNGTON, Esq, OF
West Virginia, is Just announced. lie was
over eighty years Of age. The older citi-
zens Of Richmond will recall him as a lead
ing member Of the House Of Delegates some
forty years ago. Wheeling owes him q
monument. But for his efforts the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad would never have
passed near that city on its way to the
West. He was the foeman, worthy of their
steel, Of ANDREW HUNTER, of jefferson,
and the other friends Of the company in the
House OF Delegates, and always carried his
point. General T. S. RAYMOND, OF Marion
county, was also in the House in those days,
and materially aided Mr.. ED0NoToN.
There Is story that EDGINGToN once spoke
OF HUNTER as "the gentleman from Balti-
more" HUNTER rose at once. 81 beg
pardon, meant to say the gentleman from
Jefferson" said ED0NGT0N. But his mis-
take bad told upon the House. We had
long thought him dead.

Judge Rurks.

In saying yesterday that Judge BURKs
"concurred" with Judge STAPLES we
meant only TO say that the two were agreed
on the question OF refusing the mdnddmuS
applied for by Mr.. ROYAL. We had not
seen any of the opinions when we wrote
our little paragraph.
Nobody is better pleased with the result
in the case Of Antoni as. Greenholo than
we are. Ii was most fortunate for the
Democratic party and the people OF
Virginia that the judges divided as
they did. And whilst writing upon
misconception as TO Judge BURKs's present
position, that he has not changed ground
at all. Although not on the bench when
Antoni Us. Wright was decided, he was a
member Of the court when the subsequent
case of Clarke Us. Tyler, Sergeant, 80
Graft, 1874, was decided, in which Antoni
Us. Wright was reafirmed by majority of
the Court, Judge BURKs being OF the ma
iority.
And in the late case of Williamson as.
massey, HudUOT, 90 Nlutt., 600, JuuSc
BURKs, in his opinion, stated that he regard
ed the receivability of the coupons under
the funding acts as settled by the previous
decisions of the Court (Which were those
already referred toy.
An examination Of Judge BURKs's opin-
ion in the case Just decided will show that
the whole opinion proceeds on the con-
cessum OF the constitutionality OF the fund
ing acts Of 1871 and 1879.
1t will be seen that Judge STAPLES in the
latter part Of his opinion concurs in the
opinion OF Judge BURKs II the validity Of
the funding acts be taken as established by
the previous decisions, thus showing that
he, as all the other judges, considered the
opinion of Judge BURKs as conceding the
validity Of the funding acts. The opinion
OF Judge BuRKs proceeds on the idea that,
though the funding acts were valid con-
tracts, yet the new legislation did not inn
pair those contracts. He holds that the
remedy allowed by the coupon-killing bill
is an adequate substitute for the remedy by
1nqnddmuS.

An interesting Point.

The opipions Of the several judges Of the
Supreme Court OF Appeals In the case OF
Antoni Us. Greenho,c, as published by us
YESTERDAY, show that they are all glad to
have the questions involved In that case
turned over for final decision to the SUI
prcme Court Of the United States.
One Of the most interesting points touched
by Judge BURKs is as TO whether consti-
tutional provision operates proprio ri9ore
ar not. The learned judge seems to think
that Il does not. We say "secms TO think"
because he cited the cases upon which this
doctrine Is based. In those cases 1t was
decided that constitutional provision
does not operate proprio vigore, or as
Judge BURKs phases IL. that legislation Is
necessary to enable the Supreme Court OF
Appeals "to exercise its original jurisdic-
ton by nandamus under the Constitu-
tion." The decisions cited are tantamount
TO saying that the Legislature can, by fall
ure or refusal TO act, Dust jurisdiction
conferred by The Constitution itself. Nay,
more: They are tantamount to saying that
the Legislature can take away iurisdic-
ton conferred by the Constitution simply
by repeating all laws relating TO mdndomts.
This doctrine converts each successive
General Assembly into a convention OF the
people empowered TO make or unmake the
Constitution. One General Assembly may
give the Court Of Appeals the power to
ssue the writ Of mandamuS, and the next
may entirely defeat the object OF the
trainers of the Constitution by repeating
the law granting the power to issue that
writ.
In a word, the doctrine upon which we
are commenting is in effect that the pro-
vision Of the Constitution comforting iu-
risdiction upon the Supreme Court OF APP
peals in cases Of mandamuS, prohibition,
and hd6eaS corpus, is waste Of words
mere surplusage-and has no force what
ever. For il there were no provision on
the subject in the Constitution, the General
to confer jurisdiction in such cases upon
that court. Clearly, then, the doctrine in
question makes provision Of the Consti-
stitution absolutely null and yoid-as USE
less and powerless as il it were not in
that instrument at all.
We trust Mr.. ROYAL will endeavor TO
have the point under consideration settled
by the Supreme Court Of the United States.
II the constitutional provision in question
operates proprio vigore, then Of course the
General Assembly has no power to pro-
vide that the writ of monddmuS shall not
be issued in any case arising under the
coupon-killing act. Therefore, ii would
seem to be almost unavoidable that this
point should be decided by the Supreme
Court OF the United States when the case
OF Antoni rs. GreenhOlo comes before
that tribunal.

spondent Of the Alexandria Gazette says
