THE DISSENTING OPINION.

Justice Bradley read a carefully pre-
pared dissenting opinion, in which the
Cbiof Justice, Justice Miller and Justice
GRAY coucurred. The opinion has refer
ence particularly 90 case No. s2G, Allen
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, and the fundamental ground Of
dissent Is set forth by Justice Bradley is
that this proceeding and an other pro-
ceedings ON these coupons brought here
for review are virtually suits against the
state of Virginia 20 compel q specific per-
formance by Che State Of her agreement
10 receive said coupons IN payment OF al
taxes due, and the demands, however just
such proceeding may seem in the
abstract, or however willing the
courts might De 20 sustain
it ifit were constitutional, yet looking a.
the case as IL really is, we regard II as dl-
rectly repugnant to the eleventh amend,
ment Of the constitution, which declared
that the judicial powerof the United states
shall not be construed 90 eXtond 20 any
suit In law or equity commenced or prose-
cuted against any one Of the United states
by citizens OF another state, or by citizens
or subjects Of any foreign State. The
Justice says.
Counsel for the bondholders press upon our
attention that provision Of the constitution
which declares that no state shall pas any
law imuairiug obligation Of contract aud in-
sist chat the laws passed by the Lofisiature on
Virginia forbdding the receipt OF coupons i9r

WACO, TEX, Nov. superintendent
Donald Allen OF the Houston < Texas
Central railroad is in receipt of news OF a
very bold robbery at DcLeon station, on
the Northwestern branch Of his road,
about midnight last night. Z. S. Banner
Is the Wells Fargo express agent and Cen
trail railroad agent at DeLeon. Last
night he locked his office at the depot,
went home and prepared to retire The
front room--his bed-room--was open and
after undressing he stepped TO the door
to close 1t. As he did so he looked INTO
the mu2zles OF two revolvcrs, held by two
masked men who stood at the door, They
said: eve want you down at
the depot; we will leave Il
guard here and your family must be quiet
while we are gone, If they make no out
cry they will not be harmed" Then Il
third armed man stepped into the room
and remained there while two went with
Banner to the depot. There, at the point
of cooked pistols, they compelled him TO
open the safe, and deliver the contents,
about $1,000. The robbers then left the
building and disappeared in the darkness,
being joined by their comrade, who had
kept guard over Banners residence,
which is near the depot 1t is
