amendment consists Of these officers
acting for the pcople--that is, OF the
people and their officers; but the Tor
mer nobody would ever think of suing
Therefore Il is the officers that the Con-
stitution describes when it provides
that a State cannot be sued.
Finally, we will quote the Providence
Journal as teaching just what we teach
IL says:
1.-The Constitution should be con-
strued by courts according to its real
intent, as found in its language and the
purpose of its provision. Moreover, as
the Constitution Of the United States is
grant Of power in derogation OF the
sovereign rights Of the States and OF the
people. it should he construed with all
strictness which does not violate the
spirit Of the grant. The eleventh
amendment is particularly and in terms
restrictive definition Of grant made
in the Constitution itself in general
terms"
That comedies all we ask. The "real
intent" Of the eleventh amendment is
well known. II was put into the Con-
stiiution because the State Of Georgia
had been sued, and it was put there for
no other purpose than to prevent States
from being sued. History tells us this.
It's language tells the same story. To
construc it as it was construed in the
Virginia coupon cases is to - violate its
spirit."

The DanyiiIe Riot-Mr. Wise Contra

DANvILLE, Va, September Q, 1885.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your excellent report of the speech
Of Mr.. John S. Wise at Marion, Va, is
the following:
"Of the Danville affair Mr.. Wise
spoke : | say it was a murder got
ten up for political purposes, and before
the Senate committee / Prored it,"
The italics are mine. and as to the
italicised words alone do | now write.

represented the Democrats of Danyille
before the subcommittee of the Senate,
while Mr.. Wise represented Malone,
Sims. and all the bloody-shirt element
Of the Radical party, in what is known
as the Danville investigation.
The so-called riot took place on Sat-
urday, November 3, 1883. Shortly
after Congress convened Malone, Wise,
Sherman, and that set took the unpre-
cedented and unconstitutional step Of
having Federal investigation Of pure
ly local State matter-in gross violation
of the fundamental principles of our
Government. The purpose of this was
to fire the northern heart against the
southern people in view of the approach
ing presidential election, and prevent
the peace and union Of all sections Of
our country. A Republican Senate or
dered it, and . Republican Senate was
the ultimate tribunal to pass upon it.

The Legislature.

We would not have any Democrat
TO relax his efforts in behalf Of the cleo
ton OF LEE, MASSEY, and AYERS
yet we would have every Democrat to
heed the warning contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Stanton
Spectator:
1.-The Democrats should bear in
mind that the supreme contest IN this
canvass is in the election Of members
TO the House Of Delegates. 1t would
be better to fail to elect the Democratic
State ticket than to fail to elect ma
jority Of Democrats to the House OF
Delegates. There is but little, if any,
doubt of the election OF the Democratic
State ticket. but there is danger OF
losing the majority in the House of
Delegates, unless the Democrats be
sure to bear in mind the vast import
ance OF retaining it, and to act accord
inglv, with the greatest care. vigilance,
and energy. The watchword should
be LOOK TO THE HOUSE OF
DELEGATES"

The New York Times, which is, we
suppose, again paper in good stand
ing in the Republican party. seeing that
it has announced its purpose to support
the Republican nominee for Governor
of New York, dismisses Mr.. SHERMAN
as follows:
Ellis proposition to appeal to the
northern States to reduce the repre-
sentation based on the colored vote, as
under the fourteenth amendment they
might do, is sheer trihing. lie knows
it cannot and will not be DONE"
That reminds US OF what the Su-
preme Court Of the United States said
in the case Of PARSONS, &c. This
case ought to have been dismissed"
The Times is in favor of SHERMAN's
return to the Senate.

a Timely RpprOOf,

The Norfolk Landmark of yester-
day has the following timely article:
A CRUSADE AGAINST SILVER
The New York Herald is quite wild on
the subject of "a debased silver cur
Iency," and we respectfully submit that
such Vaccinations as it now INDUCES
can do no possible good, and may re-
suit in much positive harm. The Trea-
sury Department, we believe, is pre-
paring to make use of the silver dollars
which have been so long banked up in
its vaults; and the retirement of small
notes is part Of this policy. But it by
10 means follows that because these are
more convenient that any disaster will
follow the circulation of silver. We
are of those who would suspend the
present coinage; but We see neither
sound reason nor good policy in the
crusade which the Herald is now en-
gagged in. We have vast sum of this
money, and we think it wise for the
Treasury to make use of it. In the
mean time it would be more patriotic
TO wait till Congress meets before get
ting up this hue-and-cry, for at present
it can do no good, but, as We have just
said, it is easy to see how it may work
harm by getting up feeling Of uncer-
tainty at the very beginning Of the busy
season.
Never was there more unjustitiable
crusadl-neyer one calculated to do
more harm. If the bankers, brokers,
and editors who for the last eight
years have kept up a constant war
upon silver had treated greenbackS
and bank-notes in the same manner,
those greenbacks and bank-notes would
lorg since have fallen far below par.
That silver is money and not a mere
promise to pay money is abundantly
/ proved by this same fact. And if
UNCLE SAM were tomorrow to get into
war with England, France, Germany,
Russia, or even Spain, the goId-wor-
shippers in Wall street would soon
convert all their greenbacks and bank
notes into gold, or, when the gold gave
out, into silver. One month Of war
would put to shame all monometallists.

The Wheeling Intelligeneer bites at

doubtless be as much surprised as any
one else to know that the editor Of

threat. The fourteenth amendment has
been before the courts too often-in-

United States--for any man to be al

lawyer in Wheeling, Republican or
Democratic, who will not tell the In
felligencer that the second section OF the
fourteenth amendment applied to States
and not to persons when it was in
force. and that that section was re-
pcsled by the ratification of the iif-
teenth amendment.
Will the IatelYigencer inform US how
it would be possible to reduce States
representation in Congress because that
State had denied to negroes the right to
vote without thereby recognizing as
proper, and also legalIzing, the dis
reimbursement Of the negroes? Will it
tell us how Congress would find out to
how many negroes the right to vote
had been denied? If State were to

Virginia and Ohio.
The Chicago Times says

"Mr. Foraker cannot account for
the small number Of negro votes cast
in the southern States except on the
ground of Democratic bulldozing. lie
forgets that the Republicans have a
habit at election-time Of importing a
large number of the colored voters into
some of the northern States"
No; Mr.. FORAKER has forgotten
nothing Of the kind. Nor can he be
blind to the fact that it is sublime i'm
pudence for one Of his stripe to talk
about bulldozing while the perform
ances Of LOT WRIGHT and his sluggers
in Cincinnati are so fresh in the public
mind. The truth is that his cause is
desperate. His only hope rests in firing
the heart Of the ignorant, and in order to
do this he deliberately wallows in the
cutters Of falsehood and vilification.
The Republican canvass in Ohio. like
the Republican canvass in Virginia, does
not rise above the plane Of seliiShness,
and therein is one great bond of sympa-
thy between JOHN SHERMAN and VIII
LIAM MALONE. JOHN SHERMAN,
the Ohio senator, inspires the Ohio
Republican canvass, and WILLIAM
MALONE, the Virginia senator,
inspires the Virginia Republican
canvass; and doulleSs the former
would be as willing as would be the
latter to sacrifice his State ticket in Or
der to secure his own reelection to the
Senate. 1t must not be forgotten, how
ever, that the return Of these too
worthless to the Senate would enable the
national Republican party to retain its
grip upon the country. The programme
Of SHERMAN and MALONE is: First.
"self"; second, the national Rcpubli-
can party; third, all that can be made
out of the national Republican party
for self. The parallel between the Re-
publican situation in Ohio and the Re-
publican situation in Virginia is indeed
striking, and in some aspects may be
expressed as follows As FORAKER
