Judge STAPLES.


A paragraph In the article we copied
yesterday from the Portsmouth Times
reads as follows:
"The telegraph announced yesterday
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided the Virginia coupon
cases. which were argued before it
recently, in favor of the bondholders
and against the State. This was very
unexpected, for after the able manner
in which Judge Staples presented the
cases the general opinion was that the
court would sustain the State"
That paragraph does injustice to
Judge STAPLES. The State gained the
cases which he argued-the PARSONS
cases. On the 3lst Of March we paid
the following well-mcrited compliment
to him:
"We learn that Judge Staples made
q magnificent speech in the United States
Supreme Court last week--the most
effective, we suspect, that was made for
the State of Virginia by any of the
counsel engaged on her side in the vari-
Gus cases which that court heard last
week. Judge Staples was thoroughly
familiar with the whole matter, as well
as thoroughly equipped as a lawyer,
and, more than all else, spoke from the
heart as we'll as the head. His was no
perfunctory performance. And we are
more hopeful that the State will gain
the case ne argued than that she will
gain the Others"
We do not pretend to say that the
State would have gained the other cases
if he had argued them; but he is GER
tainly entitled to credit for the decision
in the PARSONS case, that is, so far as
a lawyer is ever entitled to such credit.

The following article from the Wash
ingtop Post is worth reading:

ington Post is worth reading:
EFFECT OF THE VIRGINIA DECI-
sIoN.-There seems to be some un-
necessary confusion as to the extent and
effect Of the recent Supreme Court de-
cision in the Virginia coupon cases.
Nobody disputed the fact that the
Virginia Legislature Of 1871 had issued
coupon bonds, and that the coupons
were by law and on their face receiv-
able for taxes due the Commonwealth,
and that subsequent Legislature had
repudiated these bonds and forbidden
tax-collectors to receive the coupons
thereof for taxes.
The violation of the contract being
admitted, the only question Of practical
Importance was whether the bondhold-
ers had any remedy. They could never
sue the State to obtain payment Of the
bonds or coupons, nor in any manner
compel her to provide for the payment
Of either.
So far as obtaining money from the
State is concerned, the bonds and ecu
pons are perfectly worthless; neither
can draw one dollar out of the Trea-
sury.
But the bondholders, taking advan-
tage of the clause making the coupon,
besides a debt against the State, re-
ceivable for taxes, took the position
that a tender of coupons was equiya-
lent to a payment Of taxes, and here
the Supreme Court sustained them. So
far, therefore, as these coupons may be
used to pay taxes they have a value,
but they are worthless for any other
purpose, as the bonds from which they
are cut are for all purposes so long as
they remain repudiated.
How much value this decision gives
to the coupons depends upon circum-
stances. They cannot be used to pay
taxes until they are due, which makes
those maturing years ahead very risky
property. One million dollars Of them
become due annually, and all these may
be rendered in taxes, but it does not
seem probable that they will. Last
year less than one hundred and seventy
three thousand dollars was paid for
taxes in coupons, though the annual
revenue Of Virginia is two million
seven hundred thousand dollars.
Two eminently practical reasons exist
why this proportion is not likely to be
increased. One is the fact that the tax
bills Of over % per cent. Of the tax
payers are less than the face value Of
the smallest coupon. If man has a
tax bill of sixteen dollars to pay and
nothing less than fifty-dollar coupon
to tender, his tender to be good must,
it would seem, include the whole cou-
pom, as the tax-collector is not likely to
change it for him. The other reason is
the force of public opinion, which here
tofore has been the main reliance to pre-
vent large taxpayers using coupons in
settlement of their accounts with the
State.
While the State will not be embar-
raised so much by the decision as is
alleged, as it does not directly or indi-
rcctly take money out of her treasury,
yet as the million dollars of coupons
due yearly are q standing menace to-
wards preventing so much money in
the form of taxes going into her trea-
sury, the situation is serious one, re-
quiring the fullest consideration by the
Virginia State government.
