The Coupon Decisions.

At the present writing we have re-
ceived none but meagre kilograms con-
corning the decisions rendered yesterday
in the Virginia cases by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. Our tele-
graphic columns, however, contain all
that our special staff correspondent
now in Washington, was able to obtain
Yesterday bearing upon the subject.
Soon. at any rate, we shall be able to
express an intelligent opinion concern
ing the decisions and to forecast what
they may lead to.
The States off-hand opinion is as fol-
lows:
..There is no reason for any popular
excitement over the decision Of the SUI
preme Court in the coupon cases. The
result Of that decision will not be to
arouse contending parties or factions on
the debt question. That day has
passed. As we said some time ago, the
debt question has gone out of politics.
II now rests with the courts. No popu-
lar enthusiasm can ever again be called
forth in favor of either side OF this worn
subject.
"No Legislature will ever again be
elected on this dead issue. There may
be those who, with only demagogic pur-
poses. will cry out to the people to de-
clare for absolute reputation. But
their appeals will be plainly in vain,
for the people have learned that the SUI
preme Court Of the United States will
not permit reputation. No question
of State sovereignty will have a patient
hearing before the Supreme Court, as
has been shown in this decision, and OF
course reputation is therefore impos-
sible. Future Legislatures will make
provision for the payment of the sup
port of the government, Of the. schools,
and the asylums, and Of other institu-
tons. Whatever may be done con-
corning the debt will not be done by
any organized party. The people will
not be turned against one another again
in hostile conflict only to furnish test
cases for the packed bench at Washing
ton
We agree with the State that there is
no party in Virginia which will endea-
vor to compel her to pay more of her
debt than the RIDDLEBERGER bill pro-
vides for paying. We are not so conf
dent, however, that the Republicans
will not attempt to make capital out OF
the embarrassed condition of the State
finances which il is feared may
result from those decisions. How
ever, when we remember that
the decisions were rendered by
. tribunal having upon it only one
Democrat, and that almost all the Re-
publican papers in the North will be
found applauding those decisions, we
are at loss to know how any party
capital can be made out of them by the
Republican party of this State. 1t
would seem that the boot ought to be
on the other leg.
But, as we said in beginning this arti-
Gle, we shall await further information
before commenting at length upon the
changed order of things.

Copgressmen and Federal Offices.

fOr tne DlbIAlCn.J
What the true ground Of objection to
members of Congress recommending
for Office can be, either seyerally or
jointly as delegation, does not appear
from anything that has yet been said in
the discussion on the subject unless by
implication.
The appointing power cannot act adj
yisedly in the distribution of patronage
without reliable information from some
source as to the character and qualitica-
tons Of candidates for official positions,
and it is but reasonable to suppose that
no better source for that information is
attainable than through trusted repre-
sentatiyes in the United States Congress.
Surely, if chosen men are worthy to
fill such high positions as representa-
tives, they are equally entitled to public
confidence in respect to proper and i'm
partial recommendations for public Of
fee, without being obnoxious to the
charge of nepOtism, personal prefer
ences, or favoritism.
The soreness on this subject is no
doubt traceable TO an ambitious hank
ering for "a finger in the pie" both as
to the possession Of Office and control
ling the distribution thereof to pets and
favorites. Every stump orator, COM
mitteeman, or what not, wants to
"boss the machine" and run it either
in his own interests or for the special
benefit of his friends, and if official
position can be obtained only through
such sources neither qualification, ex-
perience, merit, nor responsibility, as
20 equality, would avail against favor
itism.
Members Of Congress are as well
posted with regard to the standing and
qualifications Of persons seeking office
in their respective districts as any COM
mittee, either State or local, can be,
and if they are not, it is not very likely
that they would recommend any person
for Office without inquiry.
If the source for information with
regard to qualification for office is to be
enlarged by extending it to State and
local committees, as we'll as to general
recommendations, then the appointing
power will be embarrassed and harassed
with conflicting and irreconcilable an
tagonisms, alike perplexing and disa-
| greesble. So after all, if this view of
the matter is correct, the conclusion is
inevitable that the immemorial usage
/ of representative recommendation based
on personal knowledge, or otherwise
local commentator through them, is
the legitimate source for selection for
official position, and the one most likely
to control the action Of the appointing
power, because Of the responsible posi-
ton held by the representative.

Kicked by Mule and Perhaps Fatal
Iy Injured.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
ABINGDON, VA, April 20, 1885.
Mr.. Allen Clark, son Of Isaac G.
Clark, ESQ.,, of this place, was kicked
in the forehead by mule this morning
and received a serious and perhaps fatal
wound. 1t seems that young Mr.. Clark
was leading the mule to water with a
halter, the strap Of which was of suffi-
cient length 10 allow the mule to walk
in front Of him. When the animal was
in that position Clark struck it with the
strap, with the result above stated.
At this hour, G P. NJ, Mr.. Clark is
still living, but little hope of his
recovery is entertained.

THE CHOLERA,

MADRID, June lG.-There were five
new cases OF cholera in this city yester.
day and one death, In Valencia there
were fresh cases, but no deaths. In
the province of Valencia, however, out
side Of the city, there were 40 cases and
q deaths. The city of Muncia reports
40 new cases and Z deaths, while other
parts of the province of Muncia return
II fresh cases and deaths.
In the Province OF Casteller de la
Plana, yesterday, there were eight cases
of cholera and 90 deaths. Thirty thou
sand people have fled for Muricia,
owing to the terrible dread of the dis
ease, which has taken possession of the
people. In the city of Murcia alone,
yesterday, there were, according to the
last rumors, GA new cases OF cholera and
SO deaths. In the province OF Murcia,
outside OF the city, there were % cases
of cholera and l6 deaths within the
same period. The Official Gazette con.
firms the statement that cholera is rag
ing in the provinces of Valencia, Cas-
tellon de la Plana and Murcia
and the City of Madrid. The op.
position newspapers, on the con-
trary,,, deny that cholera exists
in Madrid, stating that ali testimony re-
