Mr. Dyson denies that he called General
Malone a lobbyist. Other equally reliable
and less interested witnesses assert that he
did. But suppose Mr. Dyson is right, and
that he did not call the General a lobbyist
though if the question of veracty were
brought before a court it would certainly be
decided against him-the wonder about the
General is increased, for his business was in
Washington, and if he was not lobbying in
Richmond, everybody wants to known what
detained him there during the whole session
of the Legislature, and why his presence
there was so conspicuous and so objection
able, that a member of the Legislature was
induced to offer resolution requesting him
to leave Richmond. where he had no official
duties to perform. and return to Washington
and occupy his vacant seat in the |. s

resolution, the Governor was requested to re-
turn the bill to the Legislature without acting
upon it, which was DONE The Court of Ap-

much as it had not been vetoed by the Gov.
ernor within five days after it was sent to him
and that no action of the Legislature short OF
repeal could abrogate the char er granite d
in the bill. The bill by this decision stands
