ST. PETERSBURG, July 6.-Adyices from
the Russian front on the Murghab state
that the Afghaus are massing troops on
the frontier. This movement leads Rus
SLAMS to believe that it is the intention of
the Ameer Of Atghanistan to attempt an
attack on the Russian forces in order to
revenge the defeat his troops received in
the battle of Pendjeh. The same advices
say that the Sarks are also excited at the
movements Of the Afghan troops, 1t seems

Roberts on Lee.

General Sir Frederick Roberts, who.
during the last war in Afghanistan
forced his way to Cabul to ayenge the
murder of Major Cayagnari and the
members Of the British Commission,
and who subsequently made the famous
march from Cabul to Candahar and re-
lieved the besieged British garrison
there by signally defeating the be-
sieging force under Yakoub Khan, has
written letter to the family of Gene
raj Lee in acknowledgment Of the re-
ceipt Of a copy Of the Grafton Of
Mr.. John W. Daniel on the occa-
sion of the Inauguration of the Lee
mausolcum at Lexington. General Ro-
berts. in writing from Madras to mem
Der of the Lee family, SAYS: Like
most Englishmen, | knew that your
father was a man of whom any nation
might well be proud, but confess that
! never thoroughly appreciated his no.
bic character until ! read the stirring
and pathetic address delivered by Major
Daniel. 1t is a very remarkable ora
ton. and worthy Of the hero in whose
honor it was composed. think that
no one can peruse Major Daniels speech
without a feeling Of the deepest ad
miration and respect for the late
General Lee. 1t will always be
regret to me that | never
had the opportunity OF becoming ac-
quainteG with a man who proved him
self to be q soldier, a statesman, pa
triot. and a gentleman. 1t is pleasant
10 find how well General Lees fellow
countrymen seem to have understood
his good works, and | AIN sure it must
be a source of deep qualification to his
family to know how genuine and unani-
nous this feeling is" He adds that
although impossible now, he hopes some
day to visit the United States, and that
he may then see the monument in the
college chapel at Lexington, considering
it, he says, "a privilege to be able to
show my respect and admiration for one
Of the greatest soldiers of any age-Lee

The Eleventh Amendment-No. p

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In continuation Of my article Of the
18th ultimo. ! desire to emphasize the
declaration that it is our duty to resist
by all methods. direct and indirect, the
Entertainments of the Federal courts
and judges upon the reserved and con-
stitutional rights of the State. Duties
or obligations to individuals must be
postponed or subOrdinated to this
the primary and higher duty.
This is absolutely necessary, because
the trend of the decision of the five JUS
tees of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Virginia coupon cases is
to subordinate the State to the DEGREES
and will of said court. Unless our party
can rise to the height Of the great argu-
ment and meet successfully the issue
made with the State, it must be
content to let some other party
take the hold of the ship
of State and bring her into her safe and
ancient mooringS. The line of argu-
mentatiOn resorted to by Mr.. Justice
Matthews and cOncurred in by four Of
his associates justiiies US in the en-
ployment Of any methods pithh the
limits Of the Constitution to turn the
point of his arrow and to extract the
bane Of his poisonous decision.
Far be il from me to depreciate the
Supreme Court OF the United States
or to lessen in any degree the respect
and yeneration in which that tribunal
should be held by all the people but
when an attack is made by bare ma
jority of that court upon my State |. a
loyal and loving citizen, must raise my
voice Though humble) in defence Of
that State.
The decision complained Of carries
with it no moral force and settles no
principle; because it is the decision of
a bare majority of the court, rendered
and concurred in by the junior and
least experienced and able of the JUS
tees. Then the able and conclusive
dissenting opinion of Mr.. Justice Brad
ley, concurred in by the Chief Justice
and Justices Miller and Gray, deprived
the decision of the court of every
thing except the mere disposition
Of the particular cases that were before
the court. So far as the constitutional
and political questions raised in the
cases are concerned, they remain as
unsettled to-day as they were before
the opinion of Mr.. Justice Matthews
was delivered. Another reason why
the decision carries with il no moral or
persuasive power is that the opinion of
Mr.. Justice Matthews seems to antago-
nize an opinion delivered by the same
Justice in case decided a short time
before.
Another reason why the decision is
entitled to no respect is that it not only
violates the eleventh amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States, but
X is unphilosophical, and violates some
Of the principles and maxims Of the law

Holding u Corpse for Debt.

A New York special says: Mrs. No
rah Lally complained at sanitary head
quarters to-day that Undertaken Charles
j. Coote, of First avenue, was holding
the body of her brother-in-law for debt,
and refused to surrender it for burial.
The dead man is Benjamin Lundgren, a
Swede, who for years was a nurse
in the Seaman's Retreat on Staten
Island, and lately steward in
hotel there. Two months ago
he came to New York with his wife
and only child and settled at No. 322
east Twenty-ffth street. His wife fell
i'll, then his child, and within three
weeks both died. Undertaken Coote
buried both, and his bill was paid, with
the exception Of sl9, Lundgren's
funds having run out. Wife and child
were scarcely under ground before tho
Swede himself lay down on his death
bed. No one of the family being left to
nurse him through his illness, he was ad-
mitted to Bellevue Hospital as patient,
and died there on Wednesday. Mrs.
Lally undertook to bury him in Calvary
cemetery, and by her authority I'm
dertaker Coote obtained a burial per-
nit. The funeral was to take place
yesterday, but Coote refused to let it
go on before the sl9 yet due on the old
bill for burying Mrs. Lundgren and the
child was paid. Mrs. Lally could not
do this; but the undertaken, having
ascertained by inquiries on Staten Island
that there was no money due the dead
man there, persisted in his demand, and
refused to hand over the burial permit
to another undertaken. In her dilemma
Mrs. Lally appealed to DR.. Maggie, who
issued peremptory orders to COote to
surrender the funeral permit.

Is the Color of the sun Blue /?

Professor Langley IN SCIENCE
1t may be asked, What suggested the
idea that the sun may be blue rather
than any other color: Ny own atten-
ton was first directed this way many
years ago, when measuring the heat
and light from different parts Of the
suns disk. 1t is known that the sun
has an atmosphere Of its own which
tempers its heat, and by cutting off
certain radiations, and not c..'ers,
produces the spectral lines we are
all familiar with. These lines we
customarily study in connection with
the absorbing vapors Of sodium, iron,
and so forth, which produce them; but
my own attention was particularly
given to the regions of absorption, or to
the color it caused; and if found that
the suns body must be deeply blush,
and that it would shed blue light, ex-
cept for this apparently colorless solar
atmosphere which really plays the part
Of a reddish veil, letting a little Of
the Dlue appear on the centre OF
the suns disk where it is thin
nest, and staining the edge red, SO
that to delicate tests the centre
of the sun is a pale aqua marine aud
its edge a garnet. The effect | found
to be so important that, il this all but
invisible solar atmosphere were dimin-
ished by but third part. the tempera-
ture of the British islands would rise
above that Of the torrid zone, and this
directed my attention to the great prac-
teal Importance Of studying the action
of our own terrestrial atmosphere on
the sun, and the antecedent probability
that our own air was also independently
making the really blue sun into an ap-
parently white one.
