The Coupon Killer

J The Richmond State of the 21st says: In
the Hastings Court this afternoon Judg e
Christian delivered an opinion in the case oi
Smith vs. Greenhow, Treasurer, on a petition
for writ of nal1atltlanus to compel the Treas
urer of the city of Richmond to receive a
past-due coupon for fifteen dollars cut from q
bond of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is
sued under the act of March %, 1879, entitled
can act to provide plan of settlement of the
public debt" The opinion was very elaborate
and exhaustive, and closes as follows.
.'But for the constitutional inhibition before
referred to this law would soon certainly earn
the name of "coupon-killer," which attached
to it on it's passage. When confronted with
these fundamental safeguards, however. as to
this class of coupons I am clearly of opinion
that it falls to the ground impotent and harm
less am clearly Of the opinion, therefore,
that this law is unconstitutional as to this class
of coupons, and that the mandamus should be
awarded in this case. But inasmuch as the
Treasurer is acting bona fde, and simply try
ing to ascertain his duty in order to perform
1t legally, | think it would be unjust to require
him to pay the costs of this the first proceed
ing of this kind under this act.
II am duly sensible that the power given to
the courts to annul laws because OF their re-
pugnance to the Federal and State constitu-
tons is one OF their highest prerogatives-
one that should be exercised with great eau
ton and only IN plain cases. But when case
arises which is perfectly plain, as think this
is, court would shrink from the performance
of one of it's highest duties that failed to dc
what it was satisfied the supreme law of the
land required. With all respect to the Legis-
latiye department, cannot consent to be thus
knowingly derelict.
The Court directed the maand0nus to be is

Public Buildings In Virginia.

On Wednesday last the Senate passed the
bill appropriating $4,000 for a public
building at Harrtsonburg, to accommodate
the United States Court, post office and in
ternal revenue offices for the sixth district,
and the same amount for a similar building
at Abingdon, Va. The vote on these bills
shows the spirit of the Bourbon Democ-
racy OF the South, every Senator Of that
persuasion except four voting against 1t,
and this too, after both Gen. Malone and
Senator Johnston had presented an array
OF facts and arguments in their favor that
ought to have satisfied all reasonable men.
The Washington Republican, Of the 23d,
says:
There was in the Senate Wednesday curl
Gus illustration Of how far the Bourbons will
carry their personal prejudices. The Commit
zee on fuDiic buildings and Grounds had re-
ported bill for the erection of public build
ings at Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, and Abing-
don, Va, with amendments striking out
Lynchburg and Abingdon. Senator Malone
moved to restore Abingdon, and made brief
speech In support of his motion, in which he
clearly and concisely placed before the Senate
some interesting statistics in reference to the
amount of internal revenue paid by the State
OF Virginia, and gave some cogent reasons for
the necessity Of public building at Abing-
don, where the United States courts are held
TOR eighteen counties, comprising 1900 square
miles OF territory and a population of 2O8 600
people, with an assessed value Of property of
$S7, $4,000. All the Bourbons, with but three
exceptions, voted against the measure--Yoted
against the State of Virginia; not because
they did not believe the courthouse which it
was proposed to erect was not needed, but be-
cause it was proposed and advocated by Sena-
Tor Malone. Such is Bourbon hostility to
Ihe man who is endeavoring to place Virginia
On the highway Of prosperity and to secure
Tor that grand old State all the aid possible
rom the general government. 1t is rather
singular thing to see Southern Bourbons vot-
ng against appropriations for their own Sec
ion and especially for Virginia, but it shows
he bitter hostility OF the Bourbons against
he Liberal movement, which is spreading
,Yer the entire South. Senator Malone car
led his amendment, however, only three
southern Democrats voting with him, viz,
senator's Butler, Johnston, and Ransom, and
he bill being passed by Republican votes.

N. Y. Banker & Broker: Since Newport
News has been made a port of entry, and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad has begun
some very important enterprises, the future of
that place seems likely to be very prosperous.
A letter written to the Baltimore San says:
"The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Compa-
ny have commenced the shipment of coal,
three large vessels being loaded last week
There is large Brazilian steamer lying at
the dock; she takes her whole cargo from this
port-80O tons of coal and $4,000 barrels of
flour. OF this latter, g. 900 barrels are shipped
on steamer from Baltimore, brought here and
transferred, and the other six thousand barrels
came from Richmond via the G. & o. railroad
and are transferred from the cars TO the steam
er. So it begins to look like business Our
people in New York are receiving letters from
all ports of Europe in reference to coaling at
this port. There is q fair share of freight
coming from Kentucky and Southwest, and it
is generally believed here that brilliant and
profitable future is in store for this place.

The Khedive OF Egypt.

The London Truth, in a recent issue, SAYS
Tewfik is the SON of a slave and his father, Is
mael, in changing the order of succession
never intended that he should be the heir -
The ex- Khediye gave The place Of legitimate
spouse to another woman, who is now staying
with him in Naples. Ismael intended to es-
tablish the Napoleonic distinction between q
civil and a royal family. He was encouraged
to hope that he might purchase the right to
do so by the late Sultan. But when Abdul
Aziz found there was no more money to be
extracted from the Khedive. and learned that
Tewtik was easy tempered and very ignorant,
he insisted upon the right Of primogeniture
being respected. Only a few intriguing friends,
who had scarcely backed his luck, when Ismael
was at Cairo, knew that he was not SO igno-
| rant as he made believe. One of them was
Signor MARITIME, the cousin of his Italian
friend, and now his private secretary.L
! Tewfk was supposed to be in the hands of
Martina. This was aneiror. He had a very
clever wife, and was uxorious. The Hanem
! Emeneh feared no rival 1t was she who
would resign, and she was an Anglormaniac.
Her dearest friends were English ladies'
Whenever the Khedive gives an audience to
minister or foreign consul the Hanem Emeneh
is pasted behind a screen of carved wood,
where she hears and sees, but remains invisl-
bic. One day conversation between the
French Comptroller and Tewfk was suddenly
interrupted by an alteration from behind the
screen. The disputants were Emeneh and her
mother-in-law, who is jealous of her influence,
and is a supcrstitious, lll-tempered old woman,
who thinks that it was by the virtue of her
incantations Ismael was deposed. If the old
lady had her way, sorcerer would have been
placed over the Cabinet when her son began
his reign. Tewfk would be delighted if
Emeneh had a stronger belief in sorcery His
faith in the supernatural, such as has been re-
vealed to him by his mother, is absolute.
He is fond of the companionship of chill
dren, and himself directs all the Christmas and
other juvenile parties that are given by his
three young people. The eldest of the trio is
twelve years old, and the most youthful
Princess Cadshat, is in her fourth year. A
prodigious quantity of roman candles and
bengal lights are consumed at these fetes, to
which the children of distinguished Euro
peans at Cairo are invited.
AS a ruler, Tewfik has adhered to the con-
stitutonal theory of government. He is sat
isfied with drawing his pay, and leaving to
his ministers all responsibility. Whatever |
they decree he cOuntersigns, and asks no cues |
tions-except behind the scenes, where he ap-
plies tor information and advice to the shrewd |
Martina. /
TeWfk has never been in the money mar
ket. If there is one thing in which he is |
firm, it is in the auditing of his household &C
counts, which he looks into carefully. His
good nature shows itself in u thousand small |
ways, but never IN profuseness. Cairo is no
longer the Eden of the Palias Royal actress.
