The full text Of the decision of Judge Miller,
which caused such a drop in the value of Ar
kansas State Railroad Aid bonds yesterday,
will be awaited with interest. 1t was cOnf-
IDENTITY expected, of course by the holders of
the securities that the opinion of the Court
would be quite the opposite from what it is.
They based their opinion, in measure, upon
certain decisions in Florida courts, where some
what similar questions have come up. II is not
the first time, however, that the law is found
to be different from what good many people
ardently wish it was. The fact is, the bonds
of each State rest entirely upon their own
special statutes and stand or fall according to
the special clauses in each, the effect of which
no man can tell until the judges have had

What fatal work "bob-tail car and To-
connective engine can do when they combine for
rurposes Of destruction is shown by the Phil
adelphia incident reported in our telegraphc
dispatches. But still, when the responsibility
for that shocking accident comes to be dis
tributed, we trust the officials will not put any
more than they can help on the poor man who
drove the car. He was expected to guide his
team, see that all the passengers put their fare
in the box, make change, keep children from
riding on behind, and also to look out Tor the
locomotive engines. No man can fulfil the
duties of conductor, driver policeman ana
Waterman, and perform them all well. some
point must be neglected, and in this Instance 1t
was the lookout for the approaching train. Inc
result is that four passengers are dead ana
many more are seriously wounded. NO tender
ness should be shown to the economic street-car
company, however, whose managers, with dis
regard of every ones interests except their own,
tried to get two mems work for one mans pay.
The responsibility rests primarily on them, and
they ought to be made to feel it.
The Democratic politicians in the interior OF
the State are plainly alarmed by the situation IN
this city. What they wish to see here this fall,
above all things is the union of the factions on
a local ticket. The County Democrats showed
such a tame spirit at Buffalo that the leaders
of the party at Albany seem to have taken 1t
for granted that there would be no trouble ID
getting them to bear little more humiliation
and unite with the Tammany Hall men on a
local ticket. But the County Democracy worm
has finally turned (as the meeting of Thursday
night shows, and Judge Maynard and MIR
Maxwell have therefore been sent in post-haste
to this city to bring it to realizing sense of Its
humble position in the dust at Mr.. Kelly feet.
Both of these Democratic leaders are shrewd
politicians, and they undoubtedly have author
ity to bully every body they think best. But, cx-
perenced manpulators as they are, they will
find they have undertaken a job of huge di-
mansions in trying TO reconcile the factions.
Tammany is defiant. The County Democ-
racy at best is sulky. Under such circum-
stances, the work of the peacemakor may be
blessed but it can neither be easy nor pleasant

The Democratic positive count for 1884 is

This we find in the Wheeling Register,
the leading Democratic paper in West Nir-
ginia. Why is not Virginia included in
the "positlve count" OF the Democrats?
Because she has drirted from her moorings.
Because the two divisions OF the opposi-
ton, which were divided in 1880, have
since united in one party and gained pos
session OF the State government. No Won
der Virginia is no longer considered cer-
tain Democratic State.
II, then, the Coalitionists are allowed to
carry Virginia this year, electing Coali-
tion Legislature, both the Democrats and
the Republicans Of the whole Union will
conclude at once that the Old Dominion,
so far from being certain Democratic
State, will certainly vote next year for the
Republican nominee for President OF the
United States. Look at the above estimate.
1t claims as certainly Democratic only III
electoral votes, leaving % TO be secured
out OF the following: California, 8; Con-
necticut, 6; Indiana, 10; Nevada, 3; New
Jersey, o.; Ohio, 80; and Virginia, Il.
liz Souit ,SliiIAtts ~ W. ohis
sets down AS votes as certain for the Re
publican ticket, and says that the Republi-
cans must get "a votes III the States named
above in order to success next year. Our
point is that Virginia is 10 longer consid-
cred a certain Democratic State; that the
Republicans claim that she will next year
vote their ticket; that both parties take it
for granted that the Coalltionists are to all
intents aud purposes Republicans in ma
tional elections, and will next year be found
in full fellowship with the Republicans, il
not Republicans in name.
What follows? Every Democratic Re
adjuster must see what follows. lie must
see that it is his duty to separate himself
from his Republican allies this year il he
would not aid them in rendering il almost
fixed fact that Virginia will vote the Re
publican ticket next year.

correspondence of the Richmond Dispatcb.l
APRIL %, 1888.
A prominent official OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad, who was in this city
day or two ago, was asked about the re-
ports recently published IN reference to
Jaw Gould's efforts TO get possession or
control OF the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad. He said that there
was no doubt that a large amount OF the
stock OF that road has recently changed
hands, but who the purchaser was or for
what purposes it was bought is not known.
This seems to give color TO the reports
about jaw Gould, whose intention, il Is be-
lieyed, is TO establish a route across the
continent from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
The annual meeting Of the Petersburg
Bible Society was held yesterday afternoon
at the Washngton-Stree Methodist Epis-
copal church, large congregation being
present. The report OF the Board OF Man.
ayers shows that while the c0lporter en-
ployed by the Society has done a large
amount OF work in visiting families and
distributing the Bible, yet this work has
been cut short for the want OF adequate
means to carry it on fully. The following
officer, were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Williams I. Davis; Nice-Presi-
dent. X. +. Lester; Secretary, Il. w.
Thompson Treasurer. j. L. Moyler; De
postary, j. w. Bradbury; with full

We submit. then, TO the national De-
mocracy that they are, or ought to be, as
much concerned as to the result in Virgil
MIA next fall rs 10 the result in Ohio. Do
not impress it upon the Virginia Demo-
Gratis that they can carry Virginia next
year, whether they carry 1t this year
or not. AS goes Virginia in 1863, so ii
will be apt TO 90 in 1884, Dispatch.
We agree with our neighbor the DiSpatci.
in It's views Of the importance Of the Vir-
ginia election this fall. Moreover, il the
Mahoneite Radicals control the next Legis-
lature they will redistrict the State; and il
their plan of gerrymandcring should be
the same as they proposed during the las
session, as il probably would be, Virginia
would send thereafter nine Radicals and
only one Democrat to Congress. That
scheme for disappearing this State in
the councils of the country would have
been successful in the session OF 1SS1-'S2
had il not been thwarted by the brave and
honest efforts OF that small group OF Read
justers who refused to obey the commands
of the Boss. and who did their duty like
men, State.
That attempt to gerrymander Virginia
we had forgotten. II is an important con-
sideration. The election Of nine Republic
cans and only one Democrat to the House
Of Representatives might at the very next
election turn that House over to the Re-
publicans.

The Preliminary Contest-Again.


Assuming that the elections in Virginia
This wear will have an important bearing
mon the presidential election Of next year,
Lot us next Inquire whether there is any
danger that Virginia can be induced to
vote the Republican ticket next yearY
The result in 1880 Is pretty strong proof
that the voters were not many Of them de-
ceiyed AZ 20 the character OF the movement
inaugurated by the July Convention OF
that year. The Readiusters protested that
theirs was the genuine HANCOCK ticket;
hut the people Judged for themselves, and,
discerning that the real contest was be-
tween the May ticket and the Republican
ticket. rolled up majority OF sixty-fve
thousand for the May HANcock-tickei over
the July HAycocK-ticket, and OF Twelve
thousand for the former over the GARFIELD
ticket.
Only two parties are expected to enter
the race next year for the presldency-'he
democratic and the Republican. The
Grecnbackers, and the Prohibitionists, and
the an,i-Monopolists, may all have their
candidates. as such small factions are very
ant TO do: but will the Coalitionists oil
Virginia thus stand neutral whilst pre-
tending 10 have candidate OF their own
To ask the question is TO answer II. Every
body knows that no such line OF poiIcy
win be followed by General MALONE. In
deed. although he is said to rule his party
automatically and to allow no follower TO
thwart his will, yet even he could not II ne
would, as he would not il he could, pre-
vent the CoalItionists from taking part in
the presidential election. They will support
the Republican nominee. The negroes
could not be induccdto miss the opportunity
OF voting for Republican for President
even il their white leaders were disposed
to hold them off. The white Coalitionists,
like their leader, have not the least inclina-
ton to remain idle during a presidential
campaign, nor TO forego their claims upon
the offices OF the country, as they would do
should they next year set upaS "Readiust-
ersv or Liberals" and decline to vote
for either the Democratic or the Republic
can nominee. Oh, no; whatever else they
may do, the CoalItionists are so circum-
stanced that they must in 1881 support the
Republican nominee for President OF the
United States.
The people of the whole country recog-
nize the fact that neither General HANCOCK
nor any other Democratic nominee has
anything 10 expect from the Coalitionists
OF Virginia. In fact, Virginia Is no longer
classed among the sta',s which are certain
to vote the Democratic ticket. The solid
South " no longer exists. Right before
our eyes as we write is an estimate OF the
probabilities for 1884, and in it occurs the
following language:

GORDONSyIIIE, April 81. 1888.
The marriage question referred 10 the
Presbyteries by the last General Assembly
was discussed, and it was unanimously re-
solved to overture the Assembly TO take
steps to erase from the Confession OF Faith
the prohibition OF the marriage Of de-
ceased wife's sister. The debate brought
out the fact that none present believed that
the Confession Of Faith is unalterable, a
doctrine which is held by some in the
Church.
The report OF the Committee OF Publica-
ton stated that the scheme for raising a
loan OF $4,000 for this branch OF the
Church's work was an assured success.
The statistical report showed a roll OF -
ministers and 80 churches, with a member
ship OF about 1000.
Many Of the churches Of the PrcSbytery
being now without pastors, il was resolved
to make an effort to raise a salary for an
evangelist who would visit all OF the vacant
churches.
Several OF the students OF Union Semi
nary were assigned to different vacant
churches, TO labor in them during their ap-
preaching vacation.
A resolution OF thanks was heartily
adopted for the cordial hospitality which
the members of Presbytery had here re-
ceiyed.

to success in the presidential election OF
next year, he saw no signs OF such har-
mony. The Hali-Brecds and stalwarts are
