The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-04-24

The Charleston NelrS and Courier
charges that the Dispatch is always sure to
say and do whatever will please the Pro-
tectionists; but it puts Us into excellent
by including Mr. RANDALL
amongst those whom it censures. We are
very well satisfied with the prospect OF
harmony in the Democratic ranks on the
tariff and all other questions, and won't
say anything by way OF retort.

We have over and over insisted that the
internal fax laws should be abolished, and
an eouitable tariff on imports levied to
sunnort the Government. III our language
has not been simple enough to address
itself to the comprehension OF certain
"dudes" who accuse us OF Tree lraae u

Such a tariff as we advocate could be Sc

Montgomery Presbytery.
Reported for the Dispatch.l

LIBERTY, VA. April u, 1888.
The Presbytery OF Montgomery voted
Thursday on the question OF striking from
the Confession OF Faith the paragraph pro-
hibiting marriage with Il deceaSed's wife's
sister. and the result was tie-12 ayes and
II noes. A committee was then appointed
to bring in minute expressive OF the
mind Of the Presbytery on the subject, and
it subsequently reported that - in the opin-
ion of a majority Of this Presbytery the
sentence referred TO rests upon doubtful
Interpretation OF the Scripture" The re-
port was sustained.

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
Please inform me and the public general
ly how the Virginia bOndholders (native
citizens) have to proceed by the present law
to make their due and Unclipped coupons
acceptable TO the tax collector? Who am
to go TO to prove them genuine! Bonds In
hand with coupons attached? To a Judge
Of our County or Circuit Court? Shall we
GO TO the Secretary Of the Commonw eaIth,
or how are we poor Virginia bondholders
to do to make them acceptable TO the tax.
collector!
Please respond through the Semi Weecly,
and oblige an old subscriber. H.,
Hickory Grove,
Prince William county, Va.
Taxes are due.
The States officers are, we suppose. the
persons who would be the best witnesses
10 the genuineness OF the coupons. But
under the law there is no way in which the
tax-colector can be made to accept your
coupons for taxes. You must pay your
taxes to him. and bring suit to prove your
coupons to be genuine. II you succeed in
proving this to be the fact, then you can
recover your money back only from the
State Treasurer. And as all the coupons
are autographed (there is not written
signature upon them,) your chances for
recovering your money are not flattering.

A Sad Accident.

A sad and fatal accident occurred
at Gladstone on Wednesday the 7th
inst. by which Mr.. jackson lost his
life. MI. Jackson and his son were
engaged in digging we'll for Mr..
Dunn. Mr.. Jackson went into the
we'll and soon discovered that it con-
tanned foul air and gave the signal to
his son to draw him up. When near
the top he was SO near exhausted
that his hold gave way and he pitched
from the bucket to the bottom of the
we'll, a distance of forty-fve feet,
badly crushing the back portion of
his skull, causing almost instant
death. His son gave the alarm and
a number of citizens were soon on the
ground and succeeded after three
hours work, in securing two rores to
his arm and drawing the body out.
A coroner's inquest was held and q
verdict rendered according to the
above. He leaves a wife, son and
two adopted children. The remains
were sent to Glenullin, at which
place MI. Jackson resided.

A special Washington telegram to
the Pioneer Press in regard to the
rapidity with which the public lands
are being taken up, says: Dakota of
course, takes the lead, both in the
amount of land taken by actual set
tiers and the amount sold for cash.
In that territory the number of
homestead entries for the year ending
June 30, 1888, increased from IA, ,l50,
covering 2,20S,26S acres, to 22,49l,
covering 3,2o7,227 acres. The num-
ber of timber culture entries ran up
from 9,36S, covering l,468,532 acres
to 1855, covering l,765,259 acres;
anl the cash sales increased from
673,388 acres, at $977,242, to 1,5ls,O9l
acres, at $3,lO9,3S7. Probably the
history of no state or territory can
furnish a parallel to these figures.
Mr.. A. Mcmillan received a sum-
mons to appear and testify at the
trial of Frank James, which is in
progress at Gallatin, Mo. He will
not attend on account of i'll health
and the long distance to travel.
Mr.. Mcmillan had a son killed at the
time the James gang robbed the Win
sted, MINI, bank.
A Fargo boy swallowed a bullet
the other day and his mother took
him to a doctor. The doctor gave
