IT WAS stated in the GAzETTE's Washing
ton correspondence yesterday that a rumor
was afloat TO The effect that the Virginia
bond case recently decided by the t. s SUI
preme Court would probably be rcargr,"d.
What good: The court said ANY arl Of
the State which iorbids the rrcei,i OF the
coupons for taxes is violation Of the con-
tract and void as against the coupon-h"I1-
ers." And then il Immediately affirmed the
decision Of the lower court, which forbade
the receipt of the coupons for taxes. Can
any advantage come from rearguin9 ii case
