TO SHOW what Il timc-server President
Arthur is, it is only necessary TO call to mind

he took decided ground in favor of tariff

ton in the duties upon such articles rs cot,
ton goods, iron, steel, sugar, moIasses, silk,
wool and wooden goods, and Il considerable
enlargement of the free list. And yet he now
heads the party who are SO much opposed

the wind was very severe, doing much dam
age to trees and fencing As Mr.. Il. s.

ANOTHER COUPON SUIT.-A suit for 81 900
damages was instituted in the United States
Court at Richmond yesterday by A. Zetelle
against the State of Virginia. About ten
days ago Zetelle rendered to the collector OF
taxes for Richmond city tax-receivable
coupons for the amount Of tax required by
the State law for keeping restaurant:
The collector refused to receive them and
Zetele gave up business. Now he sues the
Slate for deprivipg him of the right to
lesilmately support himself The wits IN
the case were served upon the Governor
and the Attorney-G General. This suit is
based upon the recent decision by Judge
Hughes of the United States Court, that
the eleventh amendment to the constitution
forbade citizens of another State only to
sue Il State and thatif case arises under
the constitution any citizen of Virginia may
sue the State of Virginia in her corporate
capacity in the United States Circuit Court.
