PROCEEDING AGAINST JUDGE MAYS-MAH0NE'S
MACHINE MEASURES 1.-THE FRUITFUL
TOPIC"
correspondence Of the Richmond DisDatch.l
April. 10, 1888.
On Saturday MeSsrs. Glasgow and IIaden
returned from Salem with a writ Of man.
daraus from Judge Blair to compel Judge
MAYS to issue a writ OF election to fill the
vacancy in the clerks Office caused by the
death OF the late b. VI. Allen. The writ
was served on the county judge to-day.
The case will be heard next Monday in Sa-
lem. The Democrats are very much dis
appointed that Judge Blair could not be
prevailed upon to set an earlier day. so that
il the case is taken TO the Court OF Appeals
las is almost certain) we may get decision
before the 9TH Of May.
Mr.. Charles Bayne, who, it will be re-
membered. was one Of the two Democratic
members OF the notorious February special
grand Jury that indicted James +. Card
ner Dcmocra0 and whitewashed the Co
alition party OF this county one OF the
two who protested against these partisan
proceedings-has been removed from his
position OF Judge of election OF Auns-
paugh's Shop yoting-precinct, and new
convert to Mahoneism and a most ardent
disciple has been appointed in his stead.
Now. at this voting-prccinct all Of the
Judges Of election are COdlttiontStS. and
this notwithstanding the law saws L" when
ever il is practical to do so the citizens so
elected and appointed As Judges OF election
shall be chosen for each voting-place from
amongst persons hnOton 10 belong TO differ
ed political pdrt,eS," QtalicS mine.)
But this is not all. In other voting-prc-
cincts the sole Democratic Judge has been
removed 10 make place for Liberal. GOD
save the mark y All the judges of election
for the Blue-Ridgc" and the Courthouse
voting-precincts. and perhaps others, are
known to belong to the same political
party.
Wet weather in spring-how depressing
TO the spirits The very atmosphere seems
10 be laden with colds and pneumonia. We
have had so much rain that the farmers are
backward in sowing oats and in garden
ing. Nearly all day it has rained, but now
at sunset the mist and the rain have disap-
peared, and disclose TO view the snow
capped SUBMITS OF the Blue Ridge, whose
green base presents a pleasing contrast.
Pshaw. Mlahoneism and a bad cold have
driven away my poetic muse, and | shall
not attempt to describe this splendid land
scape.

"Why didn't you and DICK BEIRNE
pitch into the United States Circuit Court
for its proceedings in the MUNFoRD case?"
a true Democrat and good friend OF ours
and the States asked us the other day.
An all-sufficient reason is now before the
public. The jury to which so much OBJ
lection had been raised was discharged.
But Judge BOND would never have agreed
to their discharge "under fire." They
would have been in their seats to-day If the
State and the Dispatch had opened fire on
them and the Court.

POLlTiCS-A PROBABLE SPLIT IN THE COALI-
TON RANKS-THE WEATHER.

TON RANKS-THE WEATHER.
lCOrresDondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
SAN MAEINo, Va. April Il, 1888.
The members Of the Coalition COnven-
ton met at the courthouse on Saturday
and nominated a straight ticket for county
officers. There is only one colored can
djdate on the ticket. All the candidates
are. understand, pledged to support the
Coalition ticket. There were some disap-
pointed asprants for nominations, and
some who claimed to be old in the
cause were rather loud in their COM
plants on the green mt our County
Court on Monday. Colonel +. n. Coleman.
who has been one OF the leading orators
OF the party, is disposed to bolt, and
declared himself a candidate for the
Office OF commissioner OF the revenue in
the Second district. Some claim that there
is serious split in the party, but saw
very little evidence OF 1t on Monday. The
Conservative Democratic party has decided
to make no nominations for county offices
this spring. There will certainly be an In
dependent ticket, and strong one, too.
There will be at least one negro magistrate
in each district. and possibly one on the
Board OF Supervisors.
A heavy rain-storm prevailed nearly all
day Monday, and though there was large
attendance at the County Court very little
business seemed TO be transacted.
Colonel Field is the only (presenD incum-
bent on the Coalition ticket, aud there was
very decided effort to defeat his nominal
ton. The party leaders wanted clean
sweep and a new deal. Yours truly,
FRANK.

Political Points.

Representative Hit, OF Illinois, does not
believe that there will be any tariff legisla-
ton in the next Congress.
The Louisville Courier Journal saws Ben.
Butler could not carry Kentucky as a cam
didate against Arthur or any other decent
Republican.
Senator Brown, of Georgia, while pass
ing through Chattanooga was interviewed
regarding the presidential probabilities.
When asked about the Blaine and Brown
ticket. he smiled, and stated that he had
not given the matter any thought, and re-
garded it as IN absurd suggestion.
The Republican State Central Committee
of Massachusetts has issued circular offer
ing for sale bill against General Butler of
about $4,000, claimed to he due one Leet.
OF Southboro', who, in reply to an offer Of
a reward by General Butler during the
last campaign fer person to father q doc
ument entitled Nuts for Butler TO Crack. -
and claimed he wrote il and demanded the
reward, which has not been paid. II is
alleged that Leet Is crank.

EXACTLY So."--Thc Petersburg hdu
tells what sort OF tariff the Democrats
ought to adyocate-as follows
1.-THE Democratic principle is plain and
simple. 1t would do away with tarill
which would foster monopolies, when
would subsidize legislators, and which
would crush smaller manufacturers. In
It's pure and elementary phase it is a tari'i
sufficient to meet The demands OF revenue
and to afford ample protection in American
manufacturers and workingmen. More
than this is anti-Democratic. and is no. in
accordance with the wisdom OF the found
ers Of the party. with the wisdom which
should be learned from experience, and
with that knowledge which should now
come OF the desires and demands OF the
people,
That is q good platform-as good as those
which the Ohio Democrats and the North
Carolina Democrats laid down last year.
If there are any protective-tarifI Demo-
Gratis in Virginia, we can promise for them,
we think. that they will ask nothing more
than our Petersburg contemporary is will
ing to grant them. What, then, is there to
quarrel about?

Tariffor no tariff, protection or free trade,

Tarlffor no tariff, protection or free trade,
the paramount aim OF the people Of Virgil

true ground when 1t says that "the tariff
SINKS into insignifcance when ii is placed
alongside OF that towering question, the
rescue OF our people from the hands OF the
party In power"
But our contemporary will not have to
choose either alternative yet awhile. Ma

now.-Donpitie Register.

That Meteor.

What pity that Professor WINSTON and
we are to be deprived Of that trip to Texas
which 1t would surely have been our rri'i-
lege and delight 10 take had not that me-
teor covering an acre Of ground. and 10
feet from end to end, been caused TO disap-
pear as suddenly az II had appeared. Like
the Germans camel. IL was evolved out OF
the "inner consciousness OF an industri-
Gus man.
or course. we haG never expected to see
such a cornet--that is, before reading the
yeracious reporters telegram giving the
dimensions of the Texas comet. The earth
is surrounded by thick cushion OF air
which we had supposed would protect us
from the fate OF Senior GARCIA, the unfor-
tunate Mexican herdsman who was caught
under the Texas meteor. When meteor
OF heterogeneous mass strikes that cushion
il ought TO get red hot in few moments
and explode few moments later. What
would become OF this planet OF ours il it
were liable TO lie reached by such an inn
mense meteor as the Texas one was repre-
septed 10 be9 After all we must confess
that we are rather pleased than displeased
that our trip TO Texas has been rendered
unnecessary, aid that there Is still reason
for confding in the protecting power OF
the atmosphere.

1t Is very true that men are no wiSerthan
their generation. II our New England
brethren Of days gone by had known as
much as New Enganders do now they
would not have gotten rid Of the negro as
bad investment. They would have Gull
tivated him in order that they might tan
his hide after DEATH and thus have shown
themselves century ahead OF the /" south
ern slaye-driyers " in material progress and
civilization. Such, at least. is the inference
to be drawn from the testimony before the
Tewksbury almshouse investigating COM

Decision a the Suit OF Murphy vs..
English for the Defendant.

NEW YORK, February IAN action
wss brought ov-r year ago in the Supreme
Court here bv VIM. D. Murphy sgainsi Wm.
III. English, Democratic candidate for vice
president in 1880. Murphy alleged that
about August 29, 1880, English employed
bin TO speak in public and advocate his
election TO Office throughout the State of In.
diana. Murphy was resident of this State,
bot he went there, and from September A b
to October 12h, in that year, msde twenty
five speeches in different parts of The State.
h averred that his services were worth
s 5000, but. that he received ony 500, and
bis expenses we're $3.50. He brought suit to
recover Sll80, with interest, from English.
The latter IN his answer deuied that he en-
ployed Murphy. He admitted tha, Murpny
addressed some etings in Indi lana, but
averred that his speeches were poor and un-
worthy of compensation. English declared
that the plaintiff spoke OF his own interest
and desire, and that the alleged contract was
against the policy OF common law and re-
prgnsnt TO the constitution snd laws of the
United States and against public policy, aud
void. The plaintiff demurred to The last de-
fense, and the demurrer was heard by Judge
Laramore in the Supreme Court. The latter
gave decision day, rendering judgme mt
for plaintiff upon his demurrer, with leave
10 defendant to amend his answer
