Ihe eleventh Amendment.

A correspondent sends us the follow
EiDg interrogatory:
3 Editor of the Dispatch: In what
year was the eleventh amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States
adopted?
There was good deal added to the
above, but as it was written upon the
back Of page full Of matter intended
for the paper we omit it. The main
question is stated above.
The Constitution, as originally framed
allowed States to be sued in the Federal
courts. Its language was as follows;
"The judicial power : SHALL
extend - to controversies between
State and citizens Of another State,
and between State and
foreign States, citizens, or subjects"
Now read the eleventh amendment
and notice how carefully it is worded
so as to repeal the provisions quoted
above. The eleventh. amendment
reads:
"The judicial power Of the United
States shall NOT be construed to ex-
tend to any suit in law or equity COM
menced or prosecuted against one Of
the United States by citizens of another
State, or by citizens or subjects Of any
foreign State"
1t is q clear case, therefore, that this
amendment renders null and void so
far as States contracts are concerned
that provision Of the Constitution which
as that instrument originally stood for
babe State to pass any law impairing
the obligation Of contracts. As we
said yesterday, that provision is as
dead as the one requiring fugitive
slaves to be delivered up to their
masters. The Constitution as origi-
nally framed allowed only three
fifths Of the negroes to be counted as
part Of the basis Of representation in
Congress. The fourteenth amendment
requires all Of them to be counted. So
with the original Constitution and the
eleventh amendment-the amendment
renders absolutely null and void any
provision of the original instrument
which cannot stand along with the
amendment. How absurd. then, is the
pretence that the provision as to con-
tracts applies to the States.
The eleventh amendment was added
because the State of Georgia had been
sued in Federal court. 1t was added
to prevent any future suits Of the same
kind. We quote:
"Third Congress of the United
States, at the first session begun and
held in the city Of Philadelphia, in the
State Of Pennsylvania, on Monday, the
second Of December, one thousand
seven hundred and sinety-three
|" Resolred, by the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled, two thirds of both houses concur
ring, That the following article be pro-
posed to the Legislatures Of the several
States as an amendment to the Consti-
tuition Of the United States, which when
ratified by three-fourths of the said Lee
gislatures shall be rated as part of the
said Constitution.
And then followed the eleventh
amendment, which was declared in
message from the President Of the
United States to both houses of Con-
gress dated January 8, 1898, to have
been adopted by the constitutional num-
Der Of States.

Revenue Collections and Tobacco Exports
Political Notes.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch. !
APRIL %, 1885.
The internal-reyenue collections in
this district for the week ending to-day
amounted to 800, 334.4l, and the ex-
ports Of manufactured tobacco from
this city to Gall pounds.
The receipts of cotton at this port
during the week were only go bales
making the total receipts since Septem-
Der lst IA, 425 bales as against $500
for the corresponding period Of last
year. The stock now on hand is about
coo bales.
The sales of loose tobacco at our
warehouses this week reached about
10000 pounds. The small offerings
are due to the fact that the planters
have as yet had no good season for
handling their tobacco, which still re-
mains hanging in their barns. The re-
ceipts of priced tobacco since October
LIST are about 1. l2j hogshsads.
Reports about the growing wheat in
this section are more encouraging than
was the case a couple of weeks ago.
The recent fine weather has greatly inn
proved the condition of the fields as well
as the prospects of the crop, and while
but a short time ago it was believed
that not more than one half the average
crop would be realized in this section,
estimates are now considerably higher.
But the reports about the oat crop are
very gloomy. AS a general thing the
winter oats have been killed, or so
badly injured by the severe weather as
to leave almost bare fields, which the
farmers in large measure have plowed
up for other crops.
Much Of the feeling caused by the re-
cent decision Of the Supreme Court in
the Virginia coupon cases has subsidized.
The people are just now taking out their
licenses for the year, and no one has
shown any desire to pay the tax in
other than money. a prominent Dem
ocrat said to-day that if the people Of
Virginia are firm in their determination
to do what is right there need be no
fear about any efforts to bring the debt
forward as leading issue in the fall
campaign. ROBIN ADAIR.

illumined with accounts Of her patriotic

a better opportunity than is now offered
for the display of her patriotism. That
she will meet the emergency in a way
that will do her honor we do not doubt.
When her people have taken calm
survey Of the field they will put their
heads together and bring order out of
confusion. The bondholders have gained
a decision. Have they gained anything
else? We doubt it. Time will show.

Auditor Marye's letter instructing him
not to receive coupons in payment of
taxes. Since the laws relating to the
