simply states fhey are present and de-
cline to vote. Such language as the
following is not quite consistent in
the Dispatch
"Used for the purpose Of electing the
Speakers candidate, &C." i .-|e.
"That ruling must never be repeated
Fowler. We are sure it was conscien-
ti0usly made" .'tf
"Mr. Fowler may rest assured that the
Democrats Of the General assembly will
not allow their rights as minority to be
taken away from them by any such de-
uice."
"You cannot afford to wrong your
self in this way"
Now, we respectfully submit to Mr.,
Drinkard that the moral lecture set up
in these quotations seems in strange
conjunction with his declaration that
his opposition to this ruling of the
Speaker is set up by the DitpatfA in the
hope that the opening of spring will
seduce away from the city enough OF
the Readjuster Senators to make 1t ef-
fectual in preventing the execution OF
the public will and the enforcement
Of popular rights. The Speaker can
very conscientiously declare that in so
ruling he was actuated by the opposite
desire-to promote the public bust
ness and the execution Of the public
will, in strict conformity to parliamen-
tary law, common sense and common
justice.
And that ruling will stand any
amount Of intelligent and dispassion-
ate criticism. It is in the interest OF
fairness, candor and justice, and its
only effect is to prevent factious op.
position to that we'll digested truism
that the people must and shall rule.

THE SECRET DISCLOSED /!
The Case of the Dispatch VS..
Parliamentary Law!

The Dispatch may cavil and enter
its technical pleadings, touching
Speaker Fowler's ruling, as much as it
may please, but here is its open con-
icsSion, made with sang 6oid and
an efTrontery we have rarely seen
,equalled. Speaking Of its own absurd
ruling, it says: r.ut q. C..
"Wcll what Of It allp only this and
.snothing more: That as the Rcadjustcrs
.havc only % votes IL thr Senate, when
y Lybrook and Wingncld refuse to act

So there you have the conspiracy
uncovered, people of Virginia The
object is, not to preserve parliament
tary law, but to stop legislation and
defeat the verdict OF the people de-
clarcd last November,
The effort of the DiSb0tth to use as
precedent the long day in the House
OF Delegates over the McCulloch bill
in March, 1879, Is failure. 1t says,
"thc majority did not take any such
short cut to a vote as that resorted to
by Speaker Fowler" The majority
had neither the opportunity nor the
provocation to do so. The minority
did not sitin the Hall and refuse to
vote, so asto,show no quorum when
there was one. That was a case OF
fillibhstqing, just such MS the minori-
ty of the present House recently in
dulged In over the new Portsmouth
charter. Z ~
The Dispatch isanxlous to make its
own case by declaring that Speak
er Fowler rules that Rule 90 rules pos
itively TO the point in this case, and it
proceeds to say the votes cast for one
candidate would in that case be posi-
tive, and those for another one mega
tive, while those for third would
show the absurdity OF any such diyis-
ion, Now let US see. The positive
and negative have already been pre-
viously declared by both House and
Senate, viz! that the Judgeships Of
Danvillc, Richmond, &c.,0s vacant,
The Funders made the negative in
their votes that those positions are no
vacant. Yet when the elections came
up these same Funders contumacious
" declared they would not submit tC
