GREENE COUNTY.

A Democratic Meeting Preparations fer
Lees Reception.
Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch. J
STANARDsvILLE, Sept. II, 1885.
Yesterday was glorious day for the
Democracy Of Greene county. The
Democrats Of the county were assem-
bled for the purpose Of hearing Colonel
Thomas Whitehead and Ran. Tucker,
but from some cause they did not put in
their appearance. The Republicans had
advertised conspicuously that their can
didate, John S. Wise, would speak here
on yesterday, and they succeeded in
drumming up about one hundred and
fifty men.
At | O'Clock Wise commenced his
abuse Of the white people of Virginia.
a great many Democrats--at least one
half Of the audience were Democrats
were in the courthouse from mere Gu
riosity. The speech Of Wise fell per-
fectly fiat. He spoke for three hours.
The Democrats became so utterly dis
gusted that they were determined to
hear some Democratic speaking. When
it was announced that our gallant
standard-bearer would be here next
Wednesday, 23d instant, cheer after
cheer rent the air.
Calls were made for General James
G. Field, +. NJ. Mcmillan, and r. S.
Thomas, who responded in rousing and
ringing speeches. The Democrats were
perfectly wild at the mention of the
names of Lee, Massey, Ayers, Wing
field, and Hay. From the indications
Of to-day the Greene-county Democracy
are wide awake and full of vim. The
Democrats are making grand prepara-
ton to receive Virginia's cavalier next
Wednesday.
Wise's speech made votes for Lee
and our ticket, and you may rest as
sured that on the Sd day of November
next Greene county will send up a
shout that will make the welkin ring.
The young men will on next Friday or
ganize Fitz Lee Campaign Club.

No Notification.

Our Providence contemporary says
| that we have not answered its question
whether we intended notification or
merely 10 swear at the court, but con-
tented ourselves with quoting an irrele-
want paragraph from President LIN
coins inaugural. We will proceed to
show its relevancy.
When President LINCOLN wrote that
paragraph, the Supreme Court Of the
United States had decided that negroes
were not "citizcns within the meaning
of the laws. That decision was as bind
ing upsn all the States and upon Mr..
LINCOLN as the recent decision in the
Virginia coupon cases is upon Virginia or
upon any citizen of Virginia. But Mr..
LINCOLN and his followers proceeded at
once to let the world know that the de-
cision in the DRIED SCOTT case was not
to be allowed to stand, and to-day the
same Supreme Court which rendered
that decision holds-no matter how the
change has been brought about-that
negroes are citizens entitled to all the
rights and privileges to which white
citizens are entitled.
Cannot Virginia rightfully follow Mr..
LINCOLN's example' Did not num-
Der of the northern States pass laws
before 1861 calculated and intended to
prevent the return OF fugitive slaves to
their masters, and forbidding the State
officers to carry out q law which the
Supreme Court of the United States
held to be constitutional?
The Journal knows that these things
are true. Therefore, it must condemn
Mr.. LINCOLN and the Republican Legis-
latures of the northern States for the
action we have alluded to or else it
must admit that Virginia and the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia have the right to try
to get from the Supreme Court deci-
sion different from that rendered in the
Virginia coupon cases. Surely the
Journal will not contend that "eva-
siye" legislation by Virginia would
be as bad as the open defiance
of the northern States. Evasive
legislation would be constitutional or
else it would fail to evade-in other
words, would not be evasive at all.
We recommend none but constitutional
legislation. Consequently we neither
swear at the court nor advise nullifca-
ton.
The Journal must excuse the breyity
of this article, though we think we have
made our point clear. We are in the
midst Of political campaign.

PETERSBURG, September IL, '65.
The United States inspectors Of to-
bacco here have been notified from
Washington that. commencing with the
18th instant, the fees for inspecting to-
bscco are reduced to seven cents per
100 pounds. On cigars the fees are re-
duced about one third, and on cigar
cites one half. A reduction has been
anticipated for some time.
1t is said that large quantities Of
campaign matter are distributed through
the pos,-ofilce from the Republican
headquarters in this city. A great
amount of business is done at Senator
Mahone's fine residence on Market
street, which is the Republican head
quarters. 1t is even reported that he
has printing press on the premises.
A kerosene lamp exploded in the
hands of a little daughter Of Mr.. Gus
Akers, at his residence, on Fleet street,
last night. She was not injured, but
the building was set on fire. The
flames were extingujshed, however, be-
fore much damage was 'done.
1t is stated that Mr.. George Cong
don, of Chesterfield county, intends to
bring suit for $40, 900 against the city.
Some weeks ago rope was stretched
across High street to prevent the pas
sage Of vehicles on account Of the ill
ness Of s young lady living on the
street. One evening about dark, not
aware Of the presence Of the rope and
not seeing it, Mr.. Congdon and COM
panion drove against it. Both gentle
men were thrown out, and Mr.. Cong
don was quite painfully injured.
Very cheering news of the accession
Of colored voters TO the Democratic
ranks in some Of the neighboring coun-
ties is received here. A gentleman
from Greensville says that in one Of the
districts Of that county fully one hun
dred negroes will vote the Democratic
ticket, and such is the stampede from
the Republican ranks of the colored
allies that it is believed the county will
90 Democratic in November-the first
time since the war. At a barbecue in
another Of the districts, given recently,
many negroes were present, and several
who had been active and prominent
Republicans made speeches in advo-
cscy Of the Democratic ticket.

Oppression.
The PHILADELPHIA Press says:

The philsdelphia ITess says
"North or South, there is no candid,
UPRIGHT man who does hot hold the
mingled cruelty, terror, brutality, and
ehicane by which the negro vote is sup.
pressed in the South to be wrong, ana
in the long run oppression of this SORT
is worse for oppressor than oppressed.
The Press has reason to speak feel
ingly. The fact Of the business is that
the only oppressor thcsncgroes have
had in the South is the party the Press
represents. and in the long run the
wrong done to the negroes by the Re-
publican party has been pretty bad for
the oppressor. The men who drove the
negroes like dumb animals to the polls
and compelled them, by terrorism and
chicsne, to vote solidly against the
whites of the South were guilty of the
worst sort Of brutality. They were en-
deavoring to array the negroes against
the only class that could give the negroes
employment, educate their children,
and take care Of their psupers and lu-
natics. In view Of the fact that it is
generally recognized by the fair-minded
northern papers that since the South
has rid herself Of Rsdicalism the ne
groes are happier and more prosperous
than they bad ever been before, the
less the bloody-shirt organs say about
oppression the better.

An Ottawa (Ont.) special says: 1t
was decided at meeting Of the Cabinet
yesterday to accede to the request Of
Riel's counsel for permission to appeal
his case, on the question of the consti-
tutionality of the court which sentenced
him, to the Privy Council in England.
In doing this the Government does not
grant a respite, but merely suspends
indefinitely the issue Of the order for
his execution. In this way they avoid
the responsibility and censure which
those who are urging Riel's execution
would throw upon them if respite
was formally granted. On the UNDER
standing that has been arrived at be-
twe the Government and Riel's coun-
sci, the order for his execution will not
issue until the case has been appealed
to England.
During Lord Dulferin's term of Office
as Goyernor-General he had full power
without reference to his Cabinet to
commute death-sentences, and in the
case Of Lepine, who was associated
with Riel in the Red-river rebellion of
1870, he exercised his prerogatiye
directly in opposition to the wishes Of
the Government of that day. This
power, hoseyer, was taken away from
all subsequent Governors-General, and
Lansdowne can only now act on the ad-
vice of his Cabinet in such cases.
Donald MacMaster, one Of the leading
counsel of the Dominion, has to-day
been requested to give written legal
opinion by friends Of Riel's as to the
constitutionality of the court convened
at Regina, which tried Riel and his fol-
lowers. 1t is probable that MacMaster
will argue the case before the Imperial
Privy Council.

The Eleventh Amendment.

The telegram in yesterdays issue Of
the Dispatch relative to suit in
Federal court, to which suit West Vir-
ginia is party, shows that other States
than this one are interested in having
the eleventh amendment respected and
enforced. In few words, let us state
that Judge JACKSON Ia sort of crank,
at besp, Of the United States District
Court Of West Virginia, has enjoined
tina; State from collecting taxes "ascsr-
tanned to be lawfully due her." as the
Wheeling Register expresses it.
The record shows that in suit with
a railroad company, the State of West
Virginia carried the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and that
that tribunal decided that the taxes
had been lawfully and constitutionally
assessed. The State thereupon was
about to proceed to enforce the pay
ment Of these taxes when Judge JACK
SON interposed and forbade the collect
ing officers to distrain before the lst
day Of November next. Upon what
ground? The law of the State pro-
vides as follows
ANY goods or chattels in the coun-
ty belonging 10 the person or estate as
sessed with taxes may be distrained
therefor after the LIST day Of Novem-
Der, in the year for which the taxes
were assessed; or before that day, if
such goods or chattels are about to be
removed from the county,
1t is A. plain as the nose on your
face that this law cannot be made to
protect parties from distraint for taxes
which became due and payable three,
four, or five years ago, as was the fact
in the case under consideration.
However, we do not care to discuss
the merits Of the case. We desire to
call attention to the fact that Federal
judge is preventing State from collect
ing her taxes. The Federal courts are
by the Constitution prohibited from en-
pertaining suits against q State by
citizens Of another State or of q
foreign State, and yet Judge JACK
SON enjoins State from collecting
the taxes due her. 1t seems to us that
Governor WILSON,. of West Virginia,
will be apt to look with favor upon the
Virginia Democratic platform, and be
inclined to say that the tax question in
the case under consideration has
ceased to be one of dollars and cents
and become one Of State sovereignty.
What is the eleventh amendment worth
if crank holding the lowest Of Fede-
raj courts can rightfully forbid = State
from collecting her taxes until he sees
fit to allow it?

Attorney General BIair-A net her
Member of the Legislature on His
DeilnqueneIes.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
1t is claimed by the friends of Attor-
ney- General BLAIR that the decision OF
the Court Of Appeals rendered on the
It'll Of May last in the case of Blair rs.
Marye and reported in the last No. Of
the Lar. Journal, yindicates him from
the charge of having improperly drawn
fees from the public Treasury. The
attention of the public should be called,
however. to the fact that since the legis-
lative investigation Of his conduct, which
was inaugurated about year ago,
not dollar has been drawn by him
from the Treasury on account Of these
fees. They had previously been drawn,
in addition TO his legal salary, in every
ended case in which there had been all
appearance by him for the Common
wealth. There have been many such
cases within the past year, and yet an
examination of the records Of the Trea-
sury shows that in not a single one of
them has he drawn, or, so far as is
known, attempted to draw any such
fee.
The only point decided in Blair rs.
Marye is that the Legislature had no
right to withhold the salary of a con-
stitutional officer on account OF his
over-drafts on the Treasury. Whatever
else may be said of this decision, there
can be no question that had it indicated
Mr.. Blair's right to draw these fees he
would promptly have ayailed himself of
it. The action of the Legislature was
adjudged inadequate for the recovery of
the money. already lost, but it turned
out to be at least sufficient to protect
the State against further losses.
Mr.. Blair from the commencement
Of his term up to October /, 1884,
drew from the Treasury money at the
rate Of s6,560.33 per annum the en-
tire average cost per annum of the Office
under the preceding Democratic admin
istration was only SO, 1926 (see House
Doc. No. 8, Journal extra SESSION., and
the salary and allowances provided by
law were the same in both cases. The
question now before the people is, Will
they by re-electing the Attorney-Gen-
eral. endorse his course and let the ex-
ample Of the chief legal guardian Of the
rights of the State be a precedent to
guide all her other officers in their deal
ings with the Treasury? NJ.

Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch.l
PEARIsBURG, VA, Sept. l6, 1885.
Hon. G. I. O'Ferrall addressed an
audience OF TIVE hundred at this place
last night. He spoke for more than
two hours, and made very strong
speech. Having the evening to himself
he was enabled to discuss the issues Of
the campaign calmly and dispassionate-
ly, and to place the facts and figures
before his audience in strong light.
The effect Of his speech will be felt on
the day of the election.
During his speech another Of Wise's
would-be sharp sayings came to grief.
Wise had compared Ayers to the yal-
Ter" dog under the wagon. The Colo
nel's opinion was that in view of the
fact that it appeared that d" Breakfast :"
Blair had drawn from the Treasury
something more than he was entitled to
q watchdog was badly needed.
