to have made no objection 70 having an

KELLSR had undergone an examination

and thus far the constitutional require

respect. But it was q feigned and
formal respect. The promise to obey
the Constitution was kept to the ear
but broken to the hope. The Civil
Service Commission required or ordered
Mr.. KELLAR to be appointed, and he
was appointed. The Commission acted
through the Secretary Of the Treasury !;
but it was their appointment all the
same.

Matrimonial InfelicIty.

The Sharpe family had a rough time
of it. Mrs. Sharpe applied for di-
vorce from Mr.. Sharpe. Then Mr..
Sharpe applied for divorce from Mrs.
Sharpe. Neithef Of the applications
was granted. Thereupon the Shapes
separated, and began to quarrel for the
custody Of the children. The whole in
felicitous business was caused by indi-
gestion, which had soured the tempers
Of the belligerent parties. Browns
Iron Bitters tones up the digestive or
gans and enables people to eat joyfully
and be happy. 1t is not a costly expe-
riment to see what a dollar bottle OF
this medicine will do to promote family
harmony.

Judge Hughes.

The Staunton Valley yirginian is a
Republican paper, and has, therefore,
we trust, good reasons for making at
least some Of the utterances contained
in the following paragraph:
"The Richmond papers, with a lib
crafty Of accusation which does no
credit to their fairness, have stated
that Judge Hughes has recently made
DEGREES in coupon cases on the princi-
pie that q mere tender Of coupons is
payment. The truth is that except to
grant rules to show cause in less than
half a dozen cases, which decide
nothing and were matters of
right, he has made no. de-
cree whatever in coupon cases.
Moreover, we do not believe he holds,
as Judge Bond seems to do, that a
mere tender Of unverifed coupons is
payment Of the tax. But as Judge
Hughes is so much accustomed to mis-
representation in the Richmond papers
as to his action and opinions in relation
to the debt question, we presume he is
indifferent as to what is said about him
in this connection. When he has occa-
sion to pass upon such cases he no
doubt will make himself so clear that
even partisan prejudice will not have
the audacity to misstate him."
OF course no Richmond paper has
intentionally misrepresented Judge
HUGHEs's opinions or decisions. The
Virgiaian is itself guilty Of inexcusa-
BILE Misrepresentation Ito use a mild
word) when it says what it does. But
let that pass. We are pleased to learn
that Judge HUGHES does not concur
in the opinions and decisions of the
delightful BOND, Of Baltimore; and
we cannot but hope that when oppor-
tunity shall offer, if ever it shall, he
will, in the vigorous and clear language
Of which he is a master, make it known
that the States have in his opinion some
rights which the Federal courts are
bound to respect.

Mr.. Kelley.


We are glad to know that Mr..
CLEVELAND has determined that the
United States Minister to Austria shall
be Mr., KELLEY or nobody. There is
no good reason why FRANCIS JOSEPH
should refuse to receive Mr.. KELLEY
cordially and treat him with all
the respect A.: f.: TO him as q
man FAD as the representative OF
ths most powerful natisn on the globe.
or course, FRANCIS JOSEPH will
never for moment admit that Mr.. KEI.
LEY Is Questionable to him because he
is Objectionable to the natural SON Of
VICTOR EMANUEL. II that were hi:
reason for objecting to Mr.. Kelley
ne would never confess the fact.
Nor win heput his refusal to receive
Mr.. KELLEY upon the ground that Mrs
KELLEY is q Jewess. The RoTHs
cHILDs have large clearinghouse in
Vienna, and FRANCIS JOSEPH is ons
Of their " clients" He would not dare
to insult the people represented by that
house.
On the whole, IS we said several
days ago, il win be well TO rscollect
that our townsman has not yet been in
formed that his room is better than his
company. Perhaps, after all, he may
be permitted to DO the American Min
lister in the most cosmopolitan city in
the world.

Rockingham Register: The Demo-
cratic party Of Virginia has endorsed
the Riddleborger bill, and it means to
give proof of its sincerity by making
war on the coupons until the last
creditor has come in and endorsed it
also by adopting its provisions.
Lynchburg Tirginian The country
is sick and tired Of the bloody,shirt
and the freedom shriekers. The era of
good feeling and reconciliation has, I'M
der the auspices of Democratic Adj
ministration, dawned upon the country.
Let sore-headed jim and mutton-head-
ed Jack take the field, with the sangui-
nary and frazzled shirt for their battle
flag, and the campaign will be decided
before a gun is fired.
Fairfdr Herald The Legislature
elected will also have to choose United
States senator to succeed General Ma
hone. Surely there is enough at stake
in this contest to stimulate every true
Democrat to do his duty. A mans
duty does not begin or end with cast
ing his vote he should also exert him
self to secure the nomination Of the
best men for the Offices to be filled.
We hope, therefore, that our district
meetings will be well attended :; that
men Of good judgment and discretion
may be sent to the State and county
conventions, and that a good, strong
man may be nominated for the Legisla-
ture.
Norfolk Landmark Our material
and moral development are not to be
found by taking the hard-beaten trail
that leads to Washington, but the path
lies in the direction Of our own State
capital. In other words, instead of
giving so much time, talent, and money,
in the shape of travelling expenses, to
the search after Office, our people
should be engaged lin such time as they
can devote to public affairsl in prepar-
ing for the decisive campaign which
opens for us this fall. They should
summon their best men to their aid for
places in the Senate, the House Of Del
egates, and the executive departments
of the State government.

We urge our best and most intelli-
gent men to wake up to the Importance
Of the occasion, and not to leave this
matter to the management of few
men specially active for some fayorite
man for Governor. See to it that the
best and wisest men are selected-men
who are not the active partisans of any
particular man-men who will look
alone to the best interests of the Demo-
cratic party without regard to any spe-
cial favorite. 1t is of the highest i'm
portance that the delegates to the Rich
mond Convention should meet to con-
suit together for the sole purpose of
selecting the strongest man vve can get.
uninhuenced by combinations jealous
for the nomination of some favorite.
That this may be so, the people at the
primary meetings must select their best
men, who are pledged to no man, and
who will earnestly endeavor to secure
the nomination of the strongest and
best man we can get. We cannot
afford to make mistake in our nomi-
nation. 1t is of the highest Importance
for us to nominate the right man. We
must do this if we would save Virginia
from the horrors Of Mahoneism.-

The State assessment here seems 70
give general dissatisfaction, in conse-
ouence Of the increase Of valuation by
the assessors, and there will be numer-
GUS applications to court praying re-
ductions. In Norfolk the increase Is
ever two millions; in Portsmouth
Is per cent, and in Norfolk county
about 3 per cent. There is always a
considerable growl, however, whenever
assessment on property is increased.
The mission Of our city councilmen
TO Washington did not amount to much
in the way Of getting work for the
nayy-yard. The Secretary promised
that this yard should get its share Of
the appropriation, but gayeno assurance
as to immediate work. From the tone
of the Secretary's remarks it was infer
red that he was rather in favor of war
ships being built at private yards, in
order to encourage private enterprise
and take advantage, he says, Of the in
ventions of the age in ship-building.
The fact is there are now about five
ships at the Brooklyn yard for repairs,
two of which were intended for this
yard, and the work is all concentrated
there.
A citizen OF Portsmouth of respecta-
bility, Jesse McHorney, residing in
Newtown, was before Mayor Baird this

preferred the complaint against her

Court Of Hastings. The examination
of the case attracted crowd that filled
the courtroom.
Considerable preparation is being
made here by the military and others
for the proper observance Of the b" Glo-

as usual to various enjoyments and fes-
tivities in and out Of town, particularly
at Virginia Beach, Ocean View, and

Bank expires next week, when the

1t is claimed by those intimate with

to lose 100000 before the depositorS
can lose a cent, and that the institution
will have to lose a million and a
half dollars before the depositors
lose 25 per cent. All this, how
ever, will depend upon good manage
ment and the business to be done here
this fall and winter. Cotton-men are
very apprehensive about their trade
next season, and fear the several bank
failures have damaged it seriously if not
fatally. Their great hope is in the

Coupons VS.. Bonds.

The bondholders who have induced
Judge BOND to issue orders command
ing the State Of Virginia to fund their
coupons in RIDpLEBERoER bonds
orders violating grossly the Constitu-
ton Of the United States--have, to use
General BUFFERS famous phrase,
"eained q great defeat" They are
worse off than they were before. Be
fore the United States Circuit Court
reached its hand into the State
Treasury and handed out to the
States creditors bonds as sub
statutes for coupons, those creditors
had it in their power to join Messrs.
JOHN A. HAMBLEToN & Co. in boast
ing that the State could not repudiate
what it owed them, the coupons being
receivable for taxes. But now they
have no coupons. They have nothing
but bonds issued by the United States
Circuit Court and not binding upon the
State. The State can repudiate all
such bonds. There is nc doubt what
ever on this point. All the courts agree
that the bonds of the State can be re-
pudiated by the State If she chooses to
repudiate them. Indeed, number of
the States have at different times, be-
ginning with Mississippi forty years ago,
rspudiated their bonds, and no lawyer
has ever been found to contend that
they had not that power. The great
expounder Of the Constitution, DANIEL
WEBSTER, laid down that doctrine in
q famous letter Of his.
What shall be said Of judges who
hold that to refuse to receive coupons
for. taxes is to impair the obligation Of
the contract Mtwecn the State and her
creditors, ard gives the United States
courts a right to interpose in behalf Of
the creditors, but who also hold at the
same time that to refuse to pay her
bonds is not such an impairment Of the
obligation Of that contract as can be
remedied by suit in the Federal
courts ?---who hold that the principal of
the debt can be repudiated with inn
punity, but declare that they will see
to it that the interest shall be paid
Is not the promise made in bond as
much Of a contract as the promise made
on coupon?
The truth is that the Federal courts
ought to have dismissed all the suits
against Virginia, commonly called " the
coupon cases." 1t was the thinnest OF
pretexts to pretend to believe that these
suits were not suits against the State.
The judges have got themselves into a
middle, and the best way to get out OF
it is to back out. 1t is simply incredi-
BILE that any Democrat who may be put
upon the bench of the Supreme Court
Of the United States by Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND should sanction such doctrines
as those discussed by Chief-Justice
WAITE and the three justices who con-
CURED with him in the opinion from
which we reproduced an extract yes
terday.
There can be no compromise PROPOSE
ton entertained by the Democrats OF
Virginia. As was said to LOUIS PHI
LrppE, at is too late" The people
have taken the matter into their own
hands.

A prominent and popular gentleman
of Boston, who, says the Boston Globe,
has held various offices under several
Administrations, puts himself on re-
cerd in respect of the appointment of
southern men to office, as follows:
81 am Republican, but / am tired
Of this nonsense about Cleveland's ap-
pointments. If we were still iii power
we would keep Republicans in office.
There is no reason why any admins
tration should not have its political
friends in offices Of trust and of execu-
ton of the laws. / agree with the
President entirely in regard to south
ern appointments. The South is taxed /;
we allow her to send men Of her
choice to Congress; we deal in
business with her citizens. We
must have the laws executed, and
therefore .must have men to execute
them. We ought to have representa-
tive men in all localities. The best
representatives Of the southern people
were in the war against the Union.
The war is over. We have pretended
to forgive. Besides, when we were in
power we put into Office some Of the
most offensive Of rebel soldiers. 1t is
internal nonsense, then, for our party
papers to talk about rebel brigadiers."
That is straightforward, manly,
and patriotic view of the matter, and is
singing rebuke to LOGAN, HAL
STEAD, REID, and the rest of the
bloody-shirt shriekers.

The Boston Herald, commenting on
MURAT HALsTEAD's frenzied utter
ances over the alleged suppression of
the negro vote in the South, says:
"Our Ohio contemporary constantly
assumes that the colored men Of the
South are still burning with zeal for the
Republican party, and DESTROYS Of voting
for it. Can it mention reason, found
ed on anything which this party has
done for them within the past ten years,
why they should feel so? We know of
no such reason. And the simple truth
is, plain to every one who travels OPEN
eyed at the South, that the colored men
have either ceased to care much about
politics, in comparison with other mat
tiers of more practical consequence to
them, or that they are dividing between
the parties as interest and feeling CON-
bine to induce them to do. There will
never be q full vote at the South until
there are two parties there. Let the
Republicans think on this"
And we can inform Mr.. HALsTEAD
that there will never be two parties in
the sense meant by the Herald SO long
as men Of HALsTEAD's stamp con-
tinue to vilify the South.

Mr.. w. II. Howard acted as secretary.
The following delegates were elected /:
j. +. Hubbard, DR.. r. II. Power, and
Thomas Newman. Alternates Will

William II. Shield. A leading Demo-
crat who was present said to the writer
that he never before saw as large a
meeting of the party at Yorktown, and
as much enthusiasm among the York
county Democrats as he witnessed yes
terday; that from his district (Bruton)
there were four names mentioned for
delegate, when heretofore no one SEEM
