Judge BoxD decided yesterday that un-
less the Virginia bondholders, such as the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. for
instance, have remedy against the State
In q United States court OF eqcity, they
have no remedy against a wrong which the
State was sboutto do them. He therefore
granted an Injunction to that company.
We have read bis opinion. 1t is inge-
NOUS, but decidedly unsatisfactory or un-
satisfying. We cannot see that it suggests
any mode Of cyading the opinion, already
pronounced twice by the Supreme Court
OF the United States, that the RIDDLEDER-
GER law is constitutional law. That
law provides that the coupons must be
proceed to be genuine. The mere aver
ment Of the railroad company that their
debt Is paid because they rendered
coupons in payment Of their taxes will
not blind tie Supreme Court to the real
facts. In the Pakersbug case recently de-
cided by that tribunal it declared that 1t
would not assume jurisdiction merely be-
cause the owners OF vessels ayerrcd that
Parkersburg was leyying tonnage duties
and calling them wharfage.
Anyhow, the Democrats OF Virginia are
done with the debt question. The more
suits in the courts, and the more decisions,
the more firmly are they convinced that
they have done all that duty required OF
them in connection with the State debt.

TIE DAMAGE BY TIE HAIL-STORM-PRIMARY
ELECTIoN-CRAZY MEN IN JAIL.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
FARMyHLE, Va, May 16, 1888.
The severest hail-storm that has been
known here tor many years visited our
section yesterday. Ii commenced at II
and continued till 1890. The drops were
the size OF partridge-eggs. 1t has almost
ruined the gardens and damaged the wheat
crop to great extent. The fruit crop is
also badly damaged. The rain was also
very hard, and continued nearly all the
afternoon.
The primary election for candidates for
town officers was held Monday evening.
The Mayor, DR.. Thackston, and Town-Ser-
geant X. ID. Miller (both Democrats) were
renominated. which is equivalent to an
election. Mr.. Miller makes the best town
sergeant we have had since his father held
the Office.
Our jail has three crazy men in it--one
white and two colored. One of the color
ed men is very dangerous. A few nights
ago he came 10 town from Buckingham
county, and at 3 O'Clock i'm the morning
was trying TO get into the depot He was
asked what he wanted by Mr.. Il. L. Hill
lard, and he cursed Mr. billiard, telling
him il was not his business. lie then
threatened his life, but about this time DIR.
Russell and Town Sergeant Miller arrived,
and captured him, but, however, with
great difficulty. He had pistol and two
large knives. He tried to get his pistol to
fire, but il was, fortunately, empty. lie is
now tied down to the floor, which Is the
only way he can be managed. lie set the
Jail on fire soon after he was put in. but the
promptness OF Captain Asa Farrus's fire
company soon extinguished the angry
flames. VIVIAN.

IL Is morally certain. says the National
Republicdn Of the 14th, that Hancock would
now be President but for the tariii-for-
reyenue-onlyv plank in the Democratic
platform OF 1880. Yes, that plank did no
good and much harm. IL was not neces-
sary. or well understood as a declaration
OF principle. OF advisable as matter OIL
policy. IL stirred up thousands OF wealthy
Republicans. and Disguised thousands OF
Democrats. 1t frightened the tlmd ana
the weak, and encouraged or emboldened
none. II il added slightly to the Demo-
cratic majority in Kentucky, which we
doubt. we still see no advantage thereby
gained. Indiana, Ohio. Connecticut, New
Jersey, and other States not irreyocably
connected with either party, are those
we wish and need to reach, and for every
voter gained in some Of these we lost
two or three. Bluc-Grass is not the whole
of Democracy. nor. indeed, much OF 1t.
Georgia to-day has five times the influence
in general politics that Kentucky has, and
increasing the difference rapidly, and
Georgia is not averse to reasonable "pro-
lection" Virginia may decide the contest
CT 1884, aud Virglniais not hungry for a
"tarifi for revenue only" Nor is Louisi-
ana, or Tennessee. or Maryland, or, so far
rs we are able to learn, any State. The cry
tor " free trade" or for any OF its modiiica-
tions, or for anything liable to be mistaken
for it by the average voter, Is the great dam
ger TO the Democratic party, and therefore
TO the South, and the fact that it comes
from comparatively few persons ought to
convince thinking politicians OF that fact

nearly all OF the witnesses that the shooting
was done by bright mulatto, from whose
hands one OF the witnesses wrenched 'ne
pistol. Richardson himself swore tiat nc
was not shot by Marshall. Under all tins
weight O. evidence in favor OF the prisoner,
the latter was acquitted. 1t has never YET
been discovered who stabbed Marsnaii.
Both OF the men who were shot are our

their wounds, though their escape from
death was almost miraculous.
The clerk OF the Hastings Court TINS
morning issued q license for the marriage
OF David A. Jones and Jane Wills, white
residents OF this city. The interesting fact
about this ease is that the expeetant BRIDE
groom is entered upon the record-book as
being eighty-one years OF age and the bride
sixtv-nine. Neither Of them was ever be-
fore married.
Work OH our street railway, after having
halfway down Sycamore street,

George Beadle, it is said, is at the North

IloPE's opinion Of the new book Of poems
OF Il. S. GREGoRY, Esq. We find that opin-

1t follows:
LenOre and Other Poems. by EDWARD $.
GREGORY. Lynchburg, Virginia: J.T
BELL & Co. 1888.
We have had this charming collection OF
poems on our desk for some weeks, vainly
hoping that the pressure on our space
would permit Us to make a review Of il |;
but as this pleasure is denied us, we must
rest contentcd with notice of more mod
est proportions. The piece from which
the volume takes its name is 4 translation
from the German, and the name OF Burger
has long been familiar to our readers
through Sir Walter Scott, il through no
other source OF information. This famous
ballad is introduced by a photographed
sketch which OF itself would be highly cred
liable to our author; but the yigor and
fidelity of his translation are beyond all
praise. When compared with the work
done by other hands on the same wild
theme the justice OF this remark becomes
apparent, and read with the original before
Ollc IL dt obot appears tiisti MI .UItSOIl ulS
executed difficult task in mastery man
ner. The second piece in the book is the
letter OF "Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem
First Century latter Story]," and here again
our author has shown his ability to make
his own era and cnvironment-to leave
the present, TO lay aside his own identity,
and to live and move and have his being in
a by-gone age. We could not pay him a
higher compliment than this il we were
disposed TO do so, and us our opinion is en-
tirely sincere IL may be taken as our mea-
sure OF his genius.
The Lyric pieces--sone of which first
| appeared In this paper--are full OF grace
and beauty; and 1t may safely be said that
IN genius. artistic perception, and manly
capacity for patient work Mr.. Gregory
promises to place himself in the first rank
OF the writer's OF English verse. We could
make good our opinion il we had the space |;
out as this is not at our disposal, we speak
&c cdthedrd to our readers, and heartily
commend to them this charming volume.
II Mr. Gregory was on the right side of
our literary "TweeG" he would have
reused up TO find himself famous on its
appearance.

Not Qualified.

Not one white Coalition member OF the
last Legislature deemed 1t necessary TO
elect negro TO the bench OF the Supreme
Court OF Appeals Of Virginia, as means
OF testifying that the Cositionists were
bent upon keeping their oath to recognize
the civil and political equality OF all men.
Why notg Why did not the Coalitionists
think of that oath when they elected
white Governor, a white Lieutenant-Gov-
crnor, white Auditor, a white Treasurer,
white Second Auditor, white Railroad
Commissioner, a white Superintendent OF
instruction, white Superintendent OF
Public Printing. and so on? Where was
that oath then?
win il be said that there were no negroes
qualified to fill any Of these offices? So!
That is lust the case with the negro APP
pointees of CAMERON, FAIR, and BLAIR.
They are not qualified to fill the place. Far
better qualified are they for number OF the
places named than TO be trustees OF white
schools. A thousand times better let them
hold some office where they will not offend
the preiudices and sensibilities ofthe supe-
rior race, nor have aught to DO with selecting
white officials.
That is the word: They are not qualified.

A Question from southampton.


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Does the aboishing OF the whipping-post
by the last Legislature give the right OF
voting TO those who were disfranchised by
being whipped by IN officer OF the law be-
fore the passage of that act? Please answer
in the Weekly Dispatch for this week and
oblge A SUBSCRIBER.
ga Subscriber" sends with the above
private note asking us to forward to him a
copy Of the act sin regard to the above"
No act of Assembly can prescribe the quail
ification of voters. Therefore the law
abolishing punishment by stripes has no.
thing to do with the question.
The constitutional qualifications oiyoters
so far as crimes are concerned were not
changed by the amendment ratified last
year doing away with the payment OF the
capitation tax as prerequisite to voting.
the Constitution still provides that the fol-
lowing persons shall not vote:
"Persons convicted OF bribery in any
election, embczzlement OF pubic funds,
treason, felony, or petit larceny"
Persons who have been convicted OF
petit larceny Tor any one Of the crimes
named above) cannot vote. no matter whe-
Their they were punished by stripes or by
imprisonment.
