THE POSITION OF THE STATE.

In response to an inquiry as to the power
of the State to enforce the collection of money
as provided under the Riddleberger act instead
of coupons, Coy. Cameron in a recent inter.
view, said
II have seen a proposition TO deprive the
State of its revenues by Il combination of the
bondholders and corporations to resist the law
as it stands on our statute books and has been
expounded by the Supreme Court of the
United States. No such conspiracy will be
allowed TO proceed in Virginia while | am
Governor, with the powers conferred by the
Constitution and the laws. The proposition
is revolution. but there is only needed TO meet
it the plain and usual methods of judicial
procedure which the State has provided for
her own protection in exercise of her undis,
puted right. Ifharsher means were necessary
they would be employed under the constitu-
tional requirement of the Governor that he
shall see that the laws of the Commonwealth
shall be faithfully executed The ACTS under
discussion are laws passed by the Legislature,
approved by the Executive and declared con
stitutional by the highest tribunals-State and
Federal"
How do you propose to meet the resistance
| of the coupon-holdcrs to pay in money ?" was
asked the Governor.
. wei, w llluotIdbCS uC odil, IL WIS re-
ported to me yesterday that certain railroads
had rendered their taxes in coupons, and when
such tender was declined they refused to list
| their coupons for Verifcation, or to pqy in
money, 90 the law requires. Immediately in
structed the Attorney General to take the
necessary steps to enable the Auditor to levy
upon the property of these delinquent com.
panies for the assessments due the State, This
will be done at once"
Suppose the railroads resist Z"
| why, OF course they will only resist by
legal procedure, and this will be done by an
attempt to procure an injunction against the
collector. ! doubt if any judge can be found
in the Coln l, to grant such motion
directly in the face Of our own Court Of APP
peas and of the Supreme Court of the United
States. But, if so, the Commonwealth viii at
once apply TO the Court of Appeals for a
proper process to enforce Its own decisions y
"What about holding the collecting officer
responsible in case he refused coupons ?"
1.-THE law demands paid the Governor that
they should refuse them. Fhoee, if aHy, who
DO not refuse them will be vigorously pros
ecaied for The penalties which the statutes
provide {Fhose wbG do refuse them, and thus
obey the law, shall haYe tpe flli Ase of al the
power and resources in this Common wealth.

SOMETHING RICH-lt is rarely that the
people of Staunton have the opportunity of
witnessing such an entertainment as that
which will be given ct the New Masonic Hall
on Saturday evening next. The Original Cush-
man and Leon Ministries, one of the most ia.
nous companies now travelling. will give one
of their inimitablc performances This Com
pany is strictly first class and comes thoroughly
endorsed by the press and public. Its repu.
tation is too widely established for it to give
any thing but the best of entertainments
The Washington Critic OF the 23rd has
the following:
Lincoln Hall was crowded last night by a
fashionable and enthusiastic audience to wit
ness the initial performance IN this city of the
Cslshman-Leon Mlnstrels. No company ever
drew q larger house in Washington, and no
minstrel organization was ever more perfect or
received with greater applause Every feature
of the performance was brimful OF humor, and
every artist was most excellent. The entire
programme teemed with freshness and refined
minstrel wit. Frank Cushman, Leon, Lew
spencer, and in fact, the general outfit. came
lin for unqualified applause. One of the most
interesting features is the wonderful yentril-
oauial Efforts OF Burt Queen, the most perfect
Wentriloqulst on the Stage
