nv rup u.prrr ORDINANCE TO BE TESTED
MATRIMONIAL.
fcorrespondcnce Of the Richmond Dispa,cn,'
FEBRUARY 27. 1888.
The number Of deaths in this city uuI'ns
the month ending Yesterday. ms repciteu ~
the health officer. was AZ. Oh those wno
died 1s were whites and 20 colored. Ineic
Ia An increase IN the number OF deiiiiS "'
compared with last month.
In the MAYORS Court this morn'ns
case was brought to test the validity Oh our
market ordinance. The ordinance P'o-
yides that fresh meats shall not be sola III
quantities less than quarter elsewhere
in the city than at the markets during mar,
ket hours. and these hours are fixed un'li
II o'clock NJ. each day, except on sa,'iI-
day, when the markets are open a'l day.
Several OF the butchers wetTy summoned 10
answer the charge Of violating this orui-
nance in selling meats at their stores.
They claim that the ordinance Is nnreason-
able. in that Il restrains their privileges as
merchants under the State law; that they
have taken out both city and State licenses
as merchants. which, under the state law'
includes butchers, green grccers, &c.'
which give them the privilege, as mer-
chants. to sell all kinds Of merchandise.
II was agreed TO make a test OF one
Of the eases. The Justice presiding
imposed fine OF s10. and from this de-
cision an appeal was taken to the Hastings
Court. The market ordinance has at var-
Gus times been carried into court on the
question OF its validity, and 1t has been
sustained, but do not think this particll-
lar point has ever before been raised.
Miss Mary, daughter OF Mr.. George 6.
Newman. was married to-day to Mr.. /.
Emmett Stroud. The ceremony was per-
formed at the Residence Of the brides
father by Rev. DIR. John E. Edwards.

The Filibusterlng.

The Democrats OF the House OF Repre-
sentatiycs did not filibuster on Monday
night to prevent the passage OF bill, but
to prevent the majority from sending to a
conference committee bill which the
House had never considered at ala bill.
as Mr.. BLACKBURN said, which went from
the House rs bill TO reduce interna-reve-
nue. taxation, and the only thing that now
remained OF it ms it was sent to the Senate
was the enacting clause. There were one
hundred and ten pages of printed matter
tackled TO the bill, not one syllable OF which
had ever come before the House for action
or amendment, not one word OF which had
ever been read in the House.
But that was not all, nor the worst; for
the so-called "rule" which the Republi-
cans tried to adopt did not allow the House
Of Representatives to concur in the Senate
amendments, but only to non-concur. Mr..
BLACKBURN said on this point that when a
motion to non-concur was made, If there
was rot single man to vote for it, and if
293 members voted against it, their vote
would not be counted simply because the
gag feature of this resolution refused to
allow the bill to be considered.
We wonder at the daring audacity of
these revolutionary Republicans in view
of the large Democratic majority already
assured IN the next House.

ft correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
JERUSALEM. va, February 26, 1883.
At the regular term OF the County Court
held here last Monday the following cases
were disposed of:
G.. II. Barnes (colored), charged with ma
liciously cutting young white man by the
name OF Powell, was convicted and sem
fenced to The penitentiary for five years.
And as the accused had previously served
out term in the penitentlary for felony,
the Judge. in pursuance OF the statute in
that case provided, imposed an additional
punishment of five years.
George Harrison (coloredD was sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary for
breaking into the store OF Captain Beaton,
at BranclviIc, and stealing money and
goods.
Miss SaIlie Neely, OF Franklin, died last
"wednesday night from an overdose OF bro
midia. rs certified by the physician. She
had been suffering for several days with
neuralgia. and sent to the drugstore for
something TO relieve her. The druggist
sent her vial of bromidia. with the direc-
ton to take teaspooniul nj dose. She
being nearly craZed with pain, took the
whole quantity in few hours, it is sup
posed. She sank into a deep slumber,
from which she never awoke. although
everything was done to resuscitate her.
Her remains were carried to Pennsylvania,
her old home and birthplace, for interment.
In response to the summons OF the Board
OF Supervisors n good many prominent
citizens OF the county met here to-day to
consider the propriety Of accepting the
compromise offered by JUDGE Shefiey,
counsel for the bondholders OF the Norfolk
and Great Western railroad, against the
county. After Il long discussion the Board
decided TO invite Judge Shetiey to visit the
county at an early date, and consult with
them about the same. X. b. s.

There wus a very interesting running
debate IN the United States Senate on the
ssa Instant In reference to The power OF
Congress over the Territories. IL arose
upon n motion to provide by law that
women should not hereafter be allowed TO
vote in any ono OF the Territories. Du-
ring its progress, Mr.. JONES, OF Florida,
brought out the fact that when Florida
was Grst orgaaized into Territory the
Legislature OF that Territory consisted OF
thirteen men appointed members by the
President Of the United States, by and
with the advice and consent OF the Senate.
Here are some OF the questions which were
shot at Mr.. JONES:
Mr.. VEST: Docs the Senator from
Florida assert that this power exists with.
out Limitation or restiaintr lie asserted
that before on the floor OF the Senate.
Mr.. JONES, OF Florida: When l speak
OF that, OF course speak with reasonable
restraint.
Mr. VEST: ask the Senator now The
plain question, Docs he believe the restrlc-
lions upon the power OF Congress IN tne
Federal Constitution do not apply to the
Territories That is the question.
Mr. JONES, Of Florida: j say in reply
10 the Senator from Missouri that the Con-
gress Of the United States possesses the
same power Of legislation over the Terri
tories that the State governments oi INC
Union possess within their limits.
Mr. VEST: ask the Senator from Flori-
da IL the Congress Of the United States
could pass bill Of attainder on ca post
focto as TO the people OF Territory? =.
Mr JONES, OF Florida: / say that IL
| could not.
Mr.. BECK: Allow me TO ask can we pro-
hiblt female suffrage in Utah and alow it
in Wyoming?
Mr.. JONES OF Florida: That is differ
cnt thing. There are two questions in that.
There is a question OF power and qucs-
tion OF eypediency.

Noticing the marriage in Baltimore OF
John w. Mayo, OF Washington, n. c., and
Miss Jennie Pentz, of that city, the Sun
says: There is a bit OF romance connected
with this marriage, the parties to It never
having met until last Thursday evening,
when they were formally introduced by 4
mutual friend. They had, however, cor
responded for several months through the
suggestion OF friend OF the sister OF the
bride, and several weeks ago exchanged
photographs. Being mutually pleased
with the counterfeit presentmentS," an
engagement followed, and the Carolina
gentleman, having had his good impress
sions confirmed by his visit, insisted on an
immediate marriage, to which the lady con-
sented, and they are now united "for bet
ter OF for worse"

When the school-children learn from the
debate in Congress that there are millions
in single sem-colon, they will have a
greatly enhanced respect for punctuation
marks Washington Post.
In West Virginia once q man was in
dicted under a law which made it 4 felony
to forge or utter or employ as true counter
felt bank-notes. He had sold the notes to
different persons, but not as genuine. He
sold them wholesale. His counsel made
the point that he could not be convicted |;
because he had not forged the notes, nor
uttered them as true, nor employed them
as true. The counsel were decided to be
In the wrong; because there was comma
after the word GUTTER" and none after the
word employ the punctuation being /:
"Forge, or utter, or employ as true" !;
and their client was sent to the peniten-
fiary for five years. We thought at the
time that the count decided the question
wrong. supposing as We did that the words
"as true" were meant TO qualify both
"utter" and "cmploy." But the comma
carried The court against us.

Ride around tue city, visit each ward
and each hill, and you will wonder whence
comes the money to pay for all the inn
proyements which are being made TO the
streets. The few thousands appropriated
annually by the City Council are evidently
most judiciollsly expended. BY the way,
in the course H an inspecting tour which
we made a day or two ago we found that
one OF the Titanic shops which TANNER &
DELANEY are erecting on the northern
boundary of the city Is exactly upon the
line of Seventh street, which should, there
fore, il is a clear case, be extended beyond
Leigh to those shops.
In fact, the Street Committee has work
in abundance TO do. Main street cannot
do without pavement from Fifth TO Mon
roe Park. The Church-lIIll avenue ought
to be flushed this year. 1t is too impor-
tant an improvement to be allowed to lin
ger in its present incomplete condition.
Fifth street needs an outlet on the north.
But we forbear. We will only add that
Richmond Is growing rapidly; that a street
once well graded and finished will last
forever; that it Is work done for all time
for the remotest posterity; and that no
other investment pays so well.
