THE VIRGINIA CorPoxs.-Our exchanges
outside OF this State continue to discuss
the recent decision of the Supreme Court

pom case, and to insist upon 1t that but one
question was finally disposed OF by that
namely, the right OF the Legis-
Iature TO take away the remedy by maada.
mus. This IL mistake. The court used
the words following:
"The primary obligation OF the State Is
for the payment mot redemptionl'of the
coupons. All else is simply as a means TO
that end. il matters not whether the cou-
pons have been refused for the taxes IL full
payment OF the amount they call for il
actusily made In money. 4 remedy, there
fore. which Is ample for the enforcement OF
the payment OF the money Is ample for all
the purposes Of the contract. That, we
think, Is given by the act OF 1882 In both
forms OF proceeding."
Looking al the case, therefore, AZ one
affecting tlt collection OF the public reyc-
nue., we cannot see that the requirement OF
the advance OF the taxes as a condition 20
The employment OF the remedy is such an
impairment OF the contract rs makes the
requirement invalid"
The taxes must, therefore, be paid be.
fore any coupon-holder can avail himself OF
the remedy provided by law; and when he
has paid the money, aud ayailed himself OF
his remedy, be must prove each several
coupon TO be genuine. The fact that No.

To-day about one thousand negro roll
makers In the tobacco factories OF the CITY
quit work, serving notice through The
newspapers or the manufacturers that they
will not resume operations until their de-
mands for increased wages are complied
with. The roll.makers have hitherto EARL
ed from SO 10 1925 per day, out oil whicn
they have had TO pay their stemmers; the!
now propose to work only at figures 'hai
will bring them from $3.50 TO 30, ana nave
formed themselves into Laboring A.so-
ciatlon" for the purpose OF emy'o!'ng
every means OF enforcing their demands.
The manufacturers, or large lnalorit!
OF them, are very much disposed TO resist
the demand OF the operatives, and nave up
TO this writing refused to employ an!
hands at the increased prices. All OF the
factories have suspended operations except
one or two, which have secured the ser
vices Of a number OF operatives at the old
prices. One OF this number is the factory
OF j.. G. Ford. and this morning II was
visited by about three hundred OF ~the
strikers. and the roll-makers there threat
cned with violence in case they did not
leave of work and join the movement for
increased wages. The menace, however,
was not regarded, and the police were
called in to dispcIsc the crowd, which was
done. The strikers have called confer
cnce for thi4 evening. and trouble is feared
should any further attempt be made to IN
terfere with the operatives who refuse 10

manufacturers they have few orders to I'LL

MoR1UARY RECORD P0R RER'S
BoYD APPROvED-THE RASDALI-DAyIs As
sAyI.T-sAD DEATH OF TWO BROTHERS,
RAILROAD SUITS.
lCorrespondcnce of the Richmond DIspatch.l
MARCH 81, 1883.
The report OF the president Of the Board
Of Health shows that during the month en-
ding March 2G, 1883, SO deaths oc-
Cured in this city. OF these IS were
among the white and 90 among the colored
population; 90 were males and IL females.
Nine deaths occurred among children un-
der five years OF age. -Four persons died
of consumption and seven OF pneumonia.
At special meeting OF the Common
Council held last night the bond OF Mr.. f..
w. Couch, as City Treasurer, was ap-
proved, and to-day that gentleman took
charge OF the office.
Alex. Davis (colored), who was so badly
beaten last evening by George w. Randall
fcoored) in the saloon OF the former, is still
alive, and his condition to-day seems to be
little more favorable, but the physician
attending him thinks there is little hope Of
his recovery. The instrument of assault
was q wooden chair, which was broken TO
pieces over Davis's head. While the wounds
on the head are numerous and ugly, the
main injury Is believed 10 exist in The
brain, caused by conclusion and fracture
OF the skull. The Mayor this morning
continued RandalPs case for examination
until the 4th of April. The difficulty was
the result Of too much drinking, and a
quarrel about woman.
The Episcopal churches yesterday elect
cd their vestries for the ensuing wear.
Very few changes We're made in any OF the
bodies.
Intelligence OF the sad death OF two
brothers, at Blacks and Whites, has been
received. Mr. j. ii. Hardaway, n we'll
known and respected merchant OF that
place, died last Wednesday night of pneu-
m0nia. During his last illness he was Wis.
tied by his brother, Mr.. u. Il. Hardaway. a
farmer OF the county, who while there was
taken sick with the same disease. He died
on Saturday night in the same room in
which bis brother died. Both gentlemen
were married, and their sad death excites
much sympathy.
One or two important suits against the
railroads win be tried at the next term Of
the Circuit Court OF Nottoway. One of
these Is a suit for damages against the
Richmond and Danyillc company for
causing the death Of negro on their road
some months ago. ROBIN ADAIR.
