ALEXANDRIA, VA
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH G.

THE U. S. Supreme Court having set at
naught the Constitution by deciding that Il
State can pass laws impairing the obligation
of contracts, which it did in the Virginia
coupon cases, it is by no means surprising
that it should have gone step further, an"
in addition to deciding that the Government
can break its contracts, decide also that
it can make paper legal tender, though
the Constitution provides that nothing snail
be but gold and silver. Under this decision
there is nothing TO prevent the payment OF
the interest on the public debt, the prlnci-
pal of tina, debt, and all the expenses OF the
Government with greeubacks; aud rs green
backs cost nothing but the expense OF print
ing them. and as the people Of the country
are now compelled to pay double for almost
everything they consume, in order 10 raise
gold for those purposes, it Is not uu-
likely that proposition 10 that effect
will f.. made. and that it will have much
popular support. As the court has dis
xraced Virginia by sanctioning reputation
in the coupon cases referred to, and as
misery loves company, there is no reason to
expect that she would throw much opposi-
ton in the way Of paying the national debt
and abolshng federal taxation by an I'M
limited issue of paper money, especially
when the proceeding has the approval OF the
highest court in the land and the members of
which are Northern men and good republic

ADVANTAGE OF LIVING ON THE BORDER
At Ell Paso Mexican dollars arc worth
eighty-Gve cents in American coin. At Pa
so del Norte, just across the river, Amcli-
can dollars are worth eighty five cents in

town he took drink of chain lightning,
which was fifteen cents, and received an
American dollar in change for his Mexican.
On his return TO the American side he took
a drink of equally bad liquor and received a
Mexican dollar for his American and 50

"MAERY Me- OR DIE Finley Small is an en-
ployc OF the Sugar Run Tanuery at Elkton, Pa,
and boards with family named Jordan Eliza
beth Galloway, aged nineteen was the servant.
Last week Mrs. Jordan's father died aud the fam
lily went to the funeral, leaving Small and the
servant in charge Of the house. As the funeral
was in distant village the Jordans were Obliged
to remain away over night. At the supper table
Friday night Miss Galloway suddenly remarked
to Small that she wanted to got married and ask.
ed him if he would marry her. He laughed and
said he was not in need of wife. She replied
that she wanted husband and he must marry
her" Small made response that it required two
to make bargain of that kind and thought the
girl was joking, bnt when he again positively re-
fused to be her husband she angrly declared that
he would never marry any other woman
Small retired to bed about $50 o'clock He
soon fell asleep, but was awakened some time in
the night by bright light shining in his ewes
1t came from lamp held by Miss Galloway, who
was standing by his bedside. In her right hand
she grasped large butcher knife which she held
as if about to strike. Small sprang up and caught
the girl by the wrist and tried to take the knife
from her. She declared that she had come to Kill
him because he had refused to marry her. Tn
the struggle the lamp fell to the floor and went
out. Small dragged the girl to tho door of his
room and succeeded in getting her ont, but he had
not been able to secure the knife. There was no
lock on the door, and as the girl took up posi-
ton on the outside and declared that she would
wait until he came out and then kill him. Small
was obliged to hold the door all the rest of the
night When daylight appeared the servant left
her post and went down stairs Small then
dressed and stole away from the house When
Mr. and Mrs. Jordan returned on Saturday morn
ing they found Miss Galloway standing at the
breakfast table with the butcher. knife in her
hand She told them she was waiting until Small
came to breakfast, and then she intended to kill
him. The girl was taken into custody and was
found to be insane. A young man who had been
keeping her company for some time married an.
other girl few weeks ago, and she has been de-
spondeDt and low-sprited ever since

the South are SO superior TO those of the

large profits as they do by means of the pro-

PROPOSED NEW STATE CAPITOL.

The Board of Sinking Fund Commission
ers, i'll response to joint resolution to in
quire and report to the General Assembly
the probable cost of suitable building OF
capacity to accommodate the government
officers, sent communication to the House
OF Delegates yesterday. The Board says
the only two places within the limits of the
Capitol Square that have been suggested
are, the one in the southeast corner Of the
Square in the angle formed by Bank and
Twelfth streets, the site of the court house,
which, along with its Invaluable records was
burnt in 1866, and the other, its counter
part. at the southwest corner of the square
in the angle made by Ninth and Bank
streets Either side is in damp location,
many feet below the plateau on which the
Capitol. Stands; Of most announcement access
to or from that main building, whose beauty
would be seriously married by such unsuta-
BILE contiguty Besides this there is not
room enough in the Square for any more
buildings, We must look outside the Capt.
tol grounds for "a suitable location" The
accommodations needed by the existing
staff of Government officers are thirty-one
rooms. This does not include starcases,
Closets and the mordern equipments of pub
lie buildings. There are but two sites
which the Board deems at all suitable
one the square bounded by Tenth, Broad,
Eleventh, and Capitol streets, Immediately
in rear of Jackson's statue; the other is the
similar square, bouoded by Ninth, Broad,
Tenth, and Capitol streets, Immediately in
rear of the Washington monument. The
first lot is valued at 1000, including the
vacant site Of the old City Hall, and the
other is valued at $50 900. Either would
afford ample room for the required struc-
ture.

Mr. JOHN 5. WISE has published, in his
masters home organ, cruel letter about
Mr. Page McCarty, in which, however, he
states that he, Wise, will not fight any more
duels, for the reason that he is satisfied
'public opinion will not sustain duelist in
any civilized community at the present
day" This reason is a good and sufficient
one, but many will think strangely of the
fact that Mr. Wise never publicly recog
nized its force until Mr.. McCnrty had assail-
ed his political character.
