LIE IAG-IAX lLLEGAL.-The Court of
Appeals has decided the tax case against J.
NJ. Blanton, the State Commissioner of
Agriculture. Blanton, as Commissioner un.
dertook to levy tax upon the manufacture
fall fertilizers sold in Virginia. The deal
ers, according to his regulations, were for
ced TO buy from him tags costing five cents
each, which were to be affixed to each bag
OF fertilizer. This imposed heavy charge
upon the manufacturers and they resisted

law to raise means as he saw fit. The tao.
tax, if carried into effect, would have
brought into his hands about thirty Ave
thousand dollars perannum. The fertilizer
dealers OF Baltimore and Richmond resisted
the payment of The tax, and contended that
II was onerous and unauthorized BY any pre-
cedent. They took the case to the Chan
Gerry Court of Richmond, where it was fully
argued, and Judge Fitzhugh decided that

MIR. blanton then appealed to the Court
OF Appeals. Judge Fauntleroy, in deliver
ing the opinion Of the court, said that there
was not the slightest authority for the &C.
ZION OF the Commissioner, and that there
was absolutely nothing upon which his
right to impose this tax could rest. Ger.
tainly by no force or torture of construc.

from further proceeding in his unlawful
measures was perpetuated.

GENERAL MAHoNE's home organ init
mates that the General will not assist the
republicans any longer unless they in turn
assist him. This intimatiou is by no means
effective, for every body knows that if the
republicans were to snub and spurn him, as
some Of the better men oftheir party already
do, he would still be their faithful ally, and
always do their bidding, not that he would
hate them the less, but because he would
hate the democrats more.

HE FACT that the resolution offered at
the last meeting of the board of visitors OF
the University of Virginia to remove the
entire faculty of that institution was de-
feated only mtigates the enormity of the
outrage upon the State and her highest seat
OF learning BY the introduction of the reso-
luton referred to. But in view of what the
Mahoneites had previously done, the only
wonder is that the resolution was not adopt
ed and the professors chairs filled by men
like Mr.. Farr, whom they have made super
intendent of public instruction.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH SO, 1888

THE CHIEF defense Of Dorsey, like that of
all the other star-route gang, seems to lie 10
his deficiency in the art of mnemonics. In
deed this deficiency has been all that has
stood between several of the present promi-
nent republican politicians and the con-
demnation even Of their own party. 1t is
not forgotten that Senator Sherman couldn't
for the life Of him remember whether or not
ne had written the famous Weber letter,
though that letter had most important et.
feet upon all his subsequent life, as it was
the means Of securing Hayes the vote of
Louisiana,an consequently Of making him,
Sherman Secretary OF the Treasury, thereby
enabling him to acquire large fortune. The
gist of MIR. porScy's testimony is either a
positive denial Of the charges against him or
failure to rccolIect whether the evidence
against him be true or false Ifhe had lived
in former times he would have been q
tit subject for the application of the means
then in use to improve the memory of Grim.

CROP NOTES.
Injury TO Corn CroR-seports from N sw
England States.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 1.-THE Far
utrs' Reuicp, from very extended adyices,
will publish in to.morrow's issue the fol-
lowing comment on the injury to the corn
crop by the recent frosts: "Frcsts Of great
eror less severity have been experienced
throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Northern and Northeastern Iowa, NortE-
ern Illinois and Indiana and the
entire State Of Michigan, causing Sc
rious injury to the late corn. This injury
yasImp0ssble at that writingto accurately
determine. In all the territory visited by
the frosts some OF the fields were so fully
matured rs to receive no damage. In
many parts corn on high ground escaped
injury, while that on low ground was
severely cut. 1t will be safe, we think, 10
estimate the injury in the territory named
at % per cent Of the estimated crop. 1t
may exceed this estimate.
Throughout the same territory other
minor crops, such as tobacco, hops, toma-
toes and other tender garden vegetables,
as well as grapes, were greatly injured or
utterly ruined. In Kansas, Nebraska,
Southern and Western Iowa, Southern
Illinois and Indiana and all other portions
Of the corn producing country no material
injury is reported.
BosroN, September 1.-THE crop returns
from Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont show fair condition in probable
yield. Maine-7l2,59 bushels; oats, 76l,-
lis, barley, 203,227; buckwheat 100000
rye, 10000. In Vermont grain Of all kinds
looks finely. The estimated yield OF the
principal crops-potatoes, $500 900 bush
els; oats, 3,903,00O; wheat Sl2,-
0O6; corn, 2,056.006 barley, 27S.-
800; buckwheat, $4,000. The season
has been favorable for tge production Of
butter and cheese. Wool will probably
fall below the average. In New Hampshire
the returns indicate large yields Of cereals
and potatoes. Following is the estimate:
Corn, l,325l2l bushels; oats, l,072, l4l;
barley, Il, ,2s7; wheat, l74,SOG; rye, 35, ,99S;
potatoes, 3,4SO,000.
WAsIIISGToS, D. G., September 1l.-Sep-
tember returns to the Department OF Agri-
culture indicate q lower condition OF corn
than in August in nearly every section.
The only gains are in Western Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, where slight i'm.
provement Is indicated. Minnesota stands
as at August. Arkansas makes gain Of
one point. Georgia and Alabama remain
as in August. ~
