lied Companies.


lied Companies.
A meeting Of the colored military was
held at Chatham new hall last night 70
hear the report OF the committee that
went to Atlanta recently in the interest
OF the military bill. The committee con-
sisted OF Maj. John II. Deyreaux and Lieut..
l.. A'W Washington. The military bill as
reported from the legislative committee
provided for SIXTY white companies and
ten c0lored in the State. The local COM
mittee asked the Legislature to increase
the number to twenty cOlored companies.
The amendment was lost, but through
Delegate Hall, OF Dodge county, the num-
Der was increased 10 seventeen. Fifteen OF
the companies are to be infantry, one ar
tillery and one cavalry. All companies
aud battaliOns organized prior TO October,
1890, will not be affected if they keep up
their organization at their own expense.
This provision will break up the Augusta
battalion. A report has been circulated
that the colOred leaders in this State have
been in correspondence with Judge
Foraker and other Republican leaders in
Ohio, seeking advice as to how they
should act 10 get larger representation
in the military bill.
Maj. Devreaux, Of the Georgia Volun-
teers, stated yesterday that the report Is
wholly without foundation, and that the
colored military have not sought counsel
OF any one.

Railroad Extension IN North Carolina


The Carolina Central railroad has be
gun the work of extending it's line to
RuthertordtOn, N. c., and thence to the
famous Cranberry iron mines. A CORE
spOndent Of the Charleston NeloS and
Courier writes in regard to this extern
sion: "Fhe intention to max, the road
thorOughfare between the coast and the
West is apparent. Mr.. Robinson, Presi-
dent OF the Seaboard system, furnishes the
means. Wilmington is to be the favored
port, but, of course, as the Carolina Cen
trail road Is backed in this enterprise, as
in others, by the SeabOard system, of
which 1t is part, much business will go
to Norfolk or Baltimore eventually. or
perhaps directly. There is a desperate and
bitter fight, which ALWAYS goes on, be-
tween the SeabOard and Richmond and
Danville railroad systems. or course, all
are in the pool, with headquarters at
Richmond, so that there is a uniform rate
of freight. But there is always bad feel
ing and absolute lack of harmony, and the
SeabOard road waits and hopes for the day
when it will be law unto itself and have
no part in combinations"

A VIRGINIA Law INVALID.
The Supreme Court Declares in FAVOR
o. the BondholderS and Against
the State.

The United States Supreme Court
rendered an Important decision
yesterday in the group Of cases
known as the Virginia coupon tax
cases involving the validity Of the
recent legislation of the State with
reference to the payment of State
taxes in the coupons of the States
bonds. The decision was against
the State and in favor of the bond
holders on all material points. The
court holds that all the legislation
of the State which attempts to
evade lie obligation under which
it rests to receive the coupons OF
it's bonds in payment of State tax.
es is unconstitutional and void, be.
cause it impairS the obligation Of a
contract; that the tax payer, hav-
ing once made due tender of cou-
pons in payment of his taxes, is I'M
der no obligation to pay such taxes
in money, but may rest securely on
his ri.h lit to have the coupons receiv-
ed when offered, and that a tax col.
lector who attempts thereafter to
forcibly collect such taxes by levy
ing upon the taxpayers property is
not shielded by the Legislation of
the State, but makes the attempt
at his personal peril. The court
holds, furthermore, that a suit
brought against taN-col!ector for
seizure of a taxpayers property
aftera due tender of coupons is not
a suitagainSt the State but Is a suit
against an individual trcSpaSSer,
acting without the legal athor-
ity of the State.
The court holds that the act of
the General Assembly of Virginia
of january rs, 1882, ''to provide for
the more efficient collection OF rev
enue to support Government, MAIN
tain the public schools and to pay
interest on he public debt" requir-
ing tax collectors to receive, in dis
charge OF the taxes. license taxes
and other dues, gold, silver, United
States treasury notes, national bank
currency, and nothing else, and
thereby forbidtling the receipt of
coupons issued under the act OF
March 80, 1871. in payment there
for, although it is legislative act
of the Government of Virginia, is
not a law of the State of Virginia,
because it impalrs the obligation
OF it's contract and is annulled by
the Constitution OF the United
States.
The State passed no such law, for
t cannot, and what it cannot do in
contemplation oflaw thas not done.
The Constitution of the United
States and its own contract, both
lrrepealable by amy act on its part,
are the laws of Virginia, and that
law made it the duty Of the defend
