By reference to the report of the pro-
ceedings of Merchants and Manufacturers
Association to be found in another column,
it will be observed that committee, on
motion of Major Alexander Hart, has been
appointed to take into consideration the
trade of the city and its progressive inter-
ests. 1t points in the right direction, and
the clear and forcible speech delivered by
Major Hart introducing the subject, gives
promise of active and efficient work, with
out which no forward step can be taken.
There was large attendance of the men,
bers Of the Association Monday night, and
all appeared to be impressed with the
views presented by the speaker. 1t is only
necessary to follow up with untiring zeal
the work which has been mapped out t.
secure final success. We have often re-
ferred to the advantages this city possesses
for the location and expansion of valuable
industries and it is espec ally gratifying to
realize the sustaining power Of organiza-
ton in carrying forward such designs. To
give tone to trade,-to elevate business in
Iercourse to its rightful position, and to
strive for the growth of every desirable
pursuit, are the objects of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, and, as
such, the organization deserves the recog-
milton and support of all the business in
terests OF this city, and of the country in
trade relations with it.

A WEALTHY BALTIMORE BELLE ELoPEs
WITH A SKATER.-On Saturday last, Miss
Lille Taylor, one of the bellies of East
Baltimore, whose parents are very wealthy,
was secretly married to Vim Ames. an ex-
pert skater with whom she fell in love at
the skating rink, and eloped with him that
evening for the West, after disposiug of
$4,000 in city stock which she had in her
own name, and which she could dispose of,
being IS years of age. The marriage took
place at the Church of the New Jerusalem.
The Rev. T. A. King performed the cere-
mony. There were but few persons pres
ent and the nuptials were speedily solemn
lied. The young bride was attired in a
seal-brown travelling dress. Diamonds
sparkled at her throat and at her shell-like
ears, while single white rosebud nestled in
among her raven hued hair. After the
wedding the happy couple were driven In
hot haste to the railway depot, where they
were just in season to catch an outgoing
train.

The Virginia Coupon Cases Decided.

The Supreme Court of the United States
on Monday rendered its decision-four of
the nine justices dissenting-in the Virgin
Ia coupon cases, to the effect that the
'coupon-killer, and other acts of the Vir-
GINA Legislature forbidding the payment
OF taxes In unverifed coupons are unconsti-
tutional as impalring the validity of the
states contract with the holders of State
bonds. The validity of the coupons as a
medium for the payment of taxes is affirm
ed. On all material points the decision is
in favor of the bondholders and against the
State.
The court holds substantially that the
taxpayer, having once made!a due tender Of
coupons in payment Of his taxes, is under
no obligation to pay such taxes in money,
but may rest securely upon his right to
have the coupons received when offered,
and that tax collector who thereafter at.
tempts to collect by force such taxes BY
levying upon the tax-payer's:property does
80 at his personal peril, und is not shielded
by the legislation of the State. To meet
the plea that the eleventh amendment of
the constitution forbids State to be sued,
the court holds that snit brought against
the agent of the State in the person Of the
tax collector is not suit against the State,
but is suit against an individual trespasser
acting without legal authority. ssThe tax
payer and coupon-holder has a right to
treat as wrong doer the officer who seizes
his property" to enforce payment of taxes
in money after tender ofcoupons has once
been made, and may ''insist upon his ten
der as equivalent to payment. In refer
ence to the contention that it is a serious
impairment of the sovereignty of State to
deprive it of control of its revenue, the
court maintains that s'the revenue system
must yield to the contract which the State
has lawfully made" If the amount of the
coupons falling due annually were greater
than or equal to the entire revenue of the
State, the effect of the coupon contract
| which the court pronounces equally with
the constitution of the United States ''irre-
pealable by act on its part '-might be dis
astrous to the public schools and the judi
cial and administrative machinery OF the
State, but happily these interests do not
| consume, it is stated, more than about ST.
400. 900 out of revenue approaching S.
600, 600 in amount, leaving nearly 81, $780,
600 to meet the $1,40O,OOO of interest ac-
cruing annually on the entire debt.
1t is to be observed, however, in regard
to the above decision that there is dis
senting opinion. and that this opinion IS
cOncurTeu IN Dy Cne culeI JuSGlee ana lnree
other justices. The dissent rests upon the
ground that the suits before the court are
VIRTUALLY suits against the State of Vir-
are ''directly repugnant to the eleventh
amendment of the constitution" which
provides that no suit in law or equity shall
be commenced or prosecuted against a
State by the citizens of another State.
ssThe eleventh amendment" the dissen-
tients contend, sis not intended as a mere
jingle of words, to be slurred over by cum
ming subtleties and artificial methods of in
| terpretatiOn baltimore Sun.

It is understood that an internal revenue

In reference to which the Alex. Gazette

''If Indecent and offensive partisanship'
be sufficient ground for removal from office
in Michigan, there is no apparent reason
why it should not be equally as effective in

had been trying for some time to break up
q gang of desperate horse and cattle
thieves, and knowing the fearless courage
for which young R. was noted, had ap-
pointed him temporarily as deputy sheriff.

their large number of relatives in Page,
