Mr. Keiley's Case.

washington Fost.l
The correspondence in relation to Mr..
Kelley, the United States Minister re-
jected by the Austrian Government, al
lie, can be automatically outlined. 1t be-
gan with a communication from Austria,
received by the State Department shortly
after Mr.. Kelley was appointed. stating
that Mr.. Kelley was Objectionable and
would not be received. The reason given
in diplomatic terms was the fact that Mr..
Kelley had married Jewess, and that,
according to an inviolable custom at
Vienna, no one Of Asiatic blood could be
received at court.
The second communication is a cable
gram informing Mr.. Kelley of his rejec.
ton. 1t reached him at Paris, where he
halted. The third letter is dated at the
State Department, Washington, is ad-
dressed to the Austrian Emperor, and is
signed by Secretary Bayard. 1t is care
orOus. 1t conveys to the Emperor that this
republic not only does not recognize but
has a profound contempt for race or relig-
iOus distinctions that not recognizing
them ourselves, we cannot be expected tg
consider them for the purpose of humOr-
ing other peoples prejudices. Mr.. Kelley
was appointed on account OF his personal
fitness for the place. If he were disquali-
fed in any of the ways recognized by liberal
and enlightened people, the United States
would be GLAD to recall him but under the
circumstances this Government would
simply instruct him not to go to Vienna.
And, in conclusion, Mr.. Bayard intimated
that while the Austrian ambassador
would be treated with social and official
courtesy so long as he remained here, the
United States Government would not be
offended il that gentleman were called
home.
The fourth communication. which will
consist of the Emperor Francis Joseph's
reply, has not yet been received. When it
arrives the whole correspondence will be
handed to Mr.. Kelley, and he will not be
criticised by the Department il he allows
1t to become public. In the meantime
the President is said to be very much
pleased with the matter and manner Of
Mr.. Bayard' $ letter. especially when it is
no secret in official circles that the religion
of Mrs. Kelley is the pretext, and friendli-
ness Of Austria to Italy the real basis Of
Mr. Keiley's rejection.

dria Gazette for the statement that when
Senator Riddleberger was in Washington

session of Congress would be long one.
probably running into September, as he
would make prolonged fight over the con-
firmation of the President appointments.
With regard to the postmaster la his own
town, Woodstock, he said he did not re-
gard his retention in the light of a cor-
tesy to himself, and would rather he would
be removed than not. We are perfectly
satisfied in our own mind that when the
question of suspending public officers
comes up for judicial consideration the
section of the revised statutes, under
which the suspensions are made, will be
pronounced unconstitutional, and that the
persons serving as officers, under such
appointments, will be declared not to be
entitled to the salary attached to such
offices. There can beno legal appointment
by the President in such cases, unless the
Senate advises and consents to it, and no
other person is entitled to the salary ex-
cept that one qualified in the form pre-
scribed by the Constitution and laws. The
question involved in the suspension of an
officer simply because Of political differ
ence, and not affecting his official char
acter, has never been fully discussed and
passed upon. The Constitution never con-
templated that the President could create
an officer. without the consent of the
Senate. and where such an officer exists,
it is beyond the legal power of the Pres
ident to uncreate him, without the con-
currence of the Senate. 1t takes both the
Senate and the President to equip an
officer and neither can undo that
which the Constitution requires both to
do. without the concurrence Of the
other

The Richmond correspondent of the N or.
folk Ledger gives additional facts to expose
the insincerity and duplicity of prominent
Democrats, who want every body else to
pay their taxes in coupons but themselves
as will be seen from the following:
Among those who have been Offering to
pay their tax to the State in coupons. are
some of the most prominent business men
here. The list embraces the president of
bank, leading capitalists and other influ-
ential men. Judge Latham, of Lynch
burg, who sat in most of these cases for
Judge Atkins, permitted the jury to try
half dozen or more of them at one time.
1t was in this way that so many were dis
posed of. 1t is insisted that this proceed
ing is irregular and unauthorized by any
rule of practice known in this State. An
injunction based upon this ground will be
asked for, restraining the officers of the
Commonwealth from paying any money on
these coupons. The Auditor will possibly
refuse to comply with the order of the
Hastings Court, and in that way test
case may be made up and carried to the
Court of Appeals.
Since the above was clipped, the Auditor
has paid coupons amounting to about 800
600. Judge Latham's course was dictated
by economy, and the State has no cause to
complain as to that. The real cause of
complaint is the legislation of Bourbon
Legislature, practically destroying the rem
edy of the coupon-holder, and. opening the
waylto the Treasury for rhecoupon

The Campaign.

The campaign opened at several impor-
tant points on Monday last. Hon. f. S.
Blair, AttorneyG eHeral ON the Republican
ticket, spoke at HafTisonburg to a large
audience and the best of feeling prevailed.
There was not much of the pyrotechnic
demonstration, but a solid, serious convic-
tion among the people that the time had
come for them to act and act with deter
mination and effect. They begin to real
ize the outrages committed upon the State
by the last Legislature, and that above
everything else they seem determined to
rebuke. We look for largely increased

We assure our good brother of the Free
Lance that we do, indeed, scout the idea
of force or fraud in our state elections. AT
the same time there is no inconsistency in
saying that the people demand free and
fair election. In fact, they mean to have
it. Both parties are too intelligent and re-
spectacle to make fraud in elections now
a very safe practice, and woe to the man
that is caught in the attempt. Let every

Appeal.
The fairness and candor and honesty of
the I,sder- Appeal have invited the distrust
of some of its own party. A writer in
the Dispatch says it is not Democratic
paper, simply because it condemns the
policy and the methods of that party when
they do not conform to what is right and
the interests of the State. We hope our
contemporary speaks knowingly when it says
the people ''mean to have" fair cleo.
tions. The spring contest in Norfolk
did not bear this demand out. Then and
there were committed the grossest kind
of corruption-the exposure of which
brought the perpetrators to shame if moi
to justice. All fair-minded men want t6
see an honest vote cast and an honest
count made of it. 1t is only the managers
and manipulators who appeal to corrupt
agencies to defeat the win Of the people
With fair election there would be nc
question as to the election Of Wise, Wood
and Blair, but the election law passed by
the last Legislature was designed to defeat
such result, whatever might be the vote
cast. 1t will require great deal Of yigi
lance, unceasing watching and diligent
scrutiny to prevent the frauds which were
contemplated in the passage of that act
If this can be done then Bourbon supre-
macy and Bourbon ways will have their
days numbered.

The Norfolk Landmarks repeats and en-
phaslzes the suggestion that Postmaster
General Villas be chosen to deliver an ora
ton on the life and death of Gen. Grant. 1t
sustains the propriety of this, by reason of
the fact that both Gen. Grant and Mr..
Villas are from the West-that both were
soldiers on the Union side, and that Mr..
Villas was selected to deliver the address
of welcome at Chicago on Gen. Grants re-
turn from his journey around the world.
These reasons might have had some force
before Mr.. Villas became Postmaster Gen
eral. But it would be oft of place for the
man who wrote and sent out the s'confi-
Dental" circular letter to members of
Congress, suggesting to them to prefer
charges against Republican officials, which
would be considered in secret and acted
upon in secret without the knowledge of
the contents being communicated to the
officers to be affected. There never was a
more disreputable document issued by any
Cabinet officer, and the purpose and senti-
ment of it were so foreign to Gen. Grant s
open, frank and manly nature, that it
would be a virtual insult to admit of the
prorriety of Mr.. Villas speaking on the
occasion referred to. Even the members
OF Congress, to whom the circular letter
was addressed, could not have but enter
tanned feeling of contempt for the author
of it, Notwithstanding their party identity
with him, 1t suggested a line Of conduct
and method of action without precedent
and disclosed spirit offensive to honest
men everywhere. To accuse, try and con-
denim, without notice to the party of the
complaint lodged against him, might haye
suited the dark ages, but it is not adapted
to the enlightened era in which we now
live, and under form of government,
based upon the intelligence, the virtue and
the manhood of the people.
1t would not meet the approval of the
American people for Mr.. Villas to be in
vited to do what our Norfolk contemporary

Emma Nevada's Husband Indig.
nRnf.

UhHt
DR.. Palmer, the husband of Emma Me-
vada, is very indignant. He represents in
the San Francisco papers that he and his
wife have been maligned and basely mis-
represented to the public by a newspaper
correspondent. in revenge for their re-
fusal to admit that representative Of
journalism to the wedding ceremonies OF
the couple. He alleges that his wife has
been %conspired against in San Francisco
to her injury-or rather, in order to
humiliate her, at her concerts hired
claquers being placed in the house to
vigorously applaud all the artists except
Nevada. He charges other things against
certain public influences. which, if true,
are disgraceful to the profession Of jour.
nalism. The press has many sins to
answer for, remarks the Sacramento Rec.
ord-Union, and that it has been used to
punish people on the stage is undeniable.
Assuming DR.. Palmer's charges to be well
grounded, the California prima donna has
been shamefully abused in the house OF her
friends, and there is due TO her PREPARATION.
OF course there are WI sides to the story;
but this ia to be said of Palmer's recital:
that it is direct to the point, and that he
has had the courage to give 1t to print,
which in itself would indicate sincerity and
integrity on his part.
