TChicago Tribune.

An association for the protection of
plants has been started at Geneva; the
object is to preserve Alpine rarities
from the determination with which the
annually increasing number of botan-
lists, mercenary collectors, and noun
taineering tourists generally is said to
menace them. The projectors of the as
ISOLATION announce that they are going
to cultivate the flowers of the Alps in
nurseries and sell them at such low
rates that it will not be worth any one 5
while to dig up the wild plants.

said a Methodist preacher had but one

worry people into heaven.

The young "Napoleon of Finance"
Ferdinand Ward, tells remarkable
investments with Grant and w ard
Welded. At least the books of the
concern show that big profits were
credited to cuttomers, but where the
big profits went to Ward alone
knows. A fellow would go to the
firm and invest a large amount of
principal, but only draw out the big
profits. The big principal Ward
"salted down" for future reference.

Couslfct Of Authority.

The fight over the coupon question
is likely TO result in some very grave
complications - nothing less than a
direct conflict OF authority between the
Federal judiciary and the State officials.
Judges Bond and Hughes, Malone
ties both. be it remembered, have under
taken to override the law Of the State
forbidding the reception of coupons IN
payment Of taxes and license. except
under certain specified conditions which
practically excludes them from being
thus used. The order Of the court re-
qurcs that coupons shall be received
for licenses Of all kinds and from any
appIicant. thus. not only annulling
the law of the State, but actually
usurping the prerogatives of the
State courts in determining who shall
have licenses. But Governor Cameron.
who formerly was known as a strong
defender of the doctrine of STATE rights.
has met the question squarely and issued
an order requiring all the State officers
to obey literally the laws of Virginia
with reference to the reception of
coupons. The judges of the Fede-
raj court will Of course proceed against
the Auditor, Treasurer. etc.. for con-
tempt Of court, and punish them by fine
and imprisonment. Governor Cameron
will of course sustain the rights of the
State, and hence we have the prospect
before us of very lively time. Not
the least significant fact connected with
this affair is that for once the Wing and
Dispafch are in full accord in sustain
ing the action OF the Governor

NORFOLK, Feb. 20, 1884.
The report Of she Lamb investigating
ssmmittcc Is the ali4absorbing topic IN
che city to-day. The Mayor seems to
care nothing for the report except the
matter Of implied deialcaiion.
The facts in the case are that the
Mayors clerk this brother was trea-
sarcr Of the Board Of Police Commits
sioncrs. The clerk died some time ago,
and during The late investigation 1t was
ascertained that his account was moi
balanced. As soon as the matter was
reported TO the Mayor he overhnuled his
brothers vouchers aud ascertained the
ss6ciency to be ESQ. lie sent IN his
check for tho amount due, but the COM
mittcc examined the accounts and re-
ported tina, the amount due was eos.
They said nothing TO the Mayor about
che matter. but in their report charged
that the Mayor has been guilty ofneglcct
or duty and malfeasancc in office,
&C., in failing 10 account for or turn
ever TO the treasurer OF the Board
e3S.45 received as chairman Of the
Board. The Mayor made an explana-
ton Of the matter, stating that while he
was in no way responsible for his bro
TIERS acts. he had paid the amount due
a. he understood it; and thought il
very unkmd that he should not have
been advised Of the discrepancy as re-
ported by the committee. The matter
was referred TO the Finance Committee
fer report. The Councils will in all
probability eensnre the Mayor for his
charges against the police.
