The milk trial OF Joseph Finlaw came
off before Justice b, F. Wood, on
Wednesday. Mr.. Finlaw was represen-
ted by NJ. P. Grey, Esq, while Alfred
Flanders and Charles Mecum represen-
ted the State. Mr.. Finlaw's milk was
condemned showing but 11.52 per cent.
of solids, and the State confined itself
eimply to showing that it did not come
up to the standard required by law,
making no charges of adulteration.
The defence was that Mr.. Finlaw's
herd was composed of common cattle,
his pasture was very poor and his cattle
were not fed; consequently, rich milk
could not be expected. The jury adj
judged him guilty and Justice Wood
fined him $50 and costs. 1t is under
stood that he will appeal. The case
was well tried, both sides combining
themselves solely to the n point Of the
amount of solids. SuHbeam.

ro,one, Ruftin's Opinion.

A reporter for the New York World
interviewed on Monday Colonel FRANK
q. RuFrIN. Second Auditor Of vir-
ripis. In his usual emphatic manner
he said
Ihsd heard Of the decision, and
when the full text is read and consid-
cred then there will be deliberate ac-
ton. but in any event Virginia will not
nav more than all parties have agreed
TO pay under the Riddleberger bill as
their ultimatum. That bill fixed the
debt at say twenty millions, which
has been proved to be double the amount
Justly and legally due. Those who
think they can coerce US, even by
decision of the Supreme Court, will lind
when they attempt il that the fight has
lust begun. There is unanimity oil
resistance that has not been seen in
ANYTHING else since the war. Demo
Gratis and Republicans, white and black,
rich and poor, town and country,
are united on what is considered TO be
a question Of liberty, and not a matter
of debt, and though no violence Will be
attempted, the moral pressure to pre-
vent any one from buying tax-paying
coupons will be, in my Judgment, ire
sistible. Banks, railroads, insurance
companies, and newspapers Will not
use coupons. Public opinion will reach
those whom legislation cannot effect.
The bonds themselves will be repu-
dated. No law or court can prevent
it. Our annual revenue amounts
to s2,700,0O0. The tax-reeeivaoie
coupons amount to sl,000,00 annual
ly. Banks and the classes above men,
toned pay 100000 tax, but Of the
! 81 .OOO, 900 of coupons less than slI3,-
900 was paid in taxes last year. That
result was due to public opinion and to
this other fact that less than 2 per cent.
of our taxpayers have property calling
for a tax Of over $50 per head. AT the
mere suggestion Of force the merchants
of Richmond, it will be remembered,
with great unanimity signed a pledge
not to pay the taxes in coupons. This
example will prove contagious"

A Merited Rebuke.

The dissenting opinion in the Vir-
gipia cases contrasts most fayorably
for itself with the shutting, evasive ar
puments of STANLEY MATTHEW'S.
Read the following biting words and
remember that the Chief Justice Of the
United States has endorsed them:
"This proceeding and all other pro-
ceedings on these coupons brought hcre
for review are virtually suits against
the State of Virginia"
"By this technical device Isuing the
officers instead Of the STATED it is sup
posed that the eleventh amendment
may be evaded. In my opinion this is
not a sound Interpretation Of that
clause of the Constitution. 1t is a
contract clause, and when the elev-
enth amendment comes into conflict
the latter has paramount force. 1t
was adopted as an amendment to the
Constitution or operates as an amend
ment of every part Of the Constitution
TO which it is at any time found to be
repugnant. Every amendment Of the
law revokes, alters, or adds something.
Ii is the last declared will Of the law
makers and has paramount force and ef-
feet. The Constitution still declares
that no State shall pass any law inn
pairing the obligation Of contract, but
the effect of the amendment is that even
if State should pass law impairing
the validity Of its own contract no re-
dress can be had therefor in the Fede-
raj courts. All those who deal with
the State have full notice of this funda-
mental condition. They know they
must depend on the faith Of the State
Just as if no Constitution existed, and
cannot resort to compulsion unless the
State chooses to permit itself to be
sued. Moreover, the eleventh amend
ment is not intended, as it were
Jingle Of cords, TO be slurred ouer
by cunning subtleries and artificial
methods Of Interpretation so as to give
it literal compliance without regard
ing its substantial meaning and pur-
pose. 1t is grave and solemn condi-
ton exacted by the sovereign States for
the purpose Of preserving and vindi-
eating their sovereign right to deal with
their creditors and others propounding
claims against them according to their
own views Of what may be required by
public faith and the necessities of the
body polite. We have no right,
if we could be disposed, to .Jrit-
ter array The substance Of this
solemn stipulation by any neat and
skiLul manipulation Of its cords.
We are bound to give it its full and
substantial meaning and effect. All
this litigation in reference to Virginia
bonds and coupons is an attempt
through the medium of the Federal
courts to cosrce the State of Virginia
into the fulfilment of her contracts.
There Virginia's rights under the
eleventh amendment are set forth.
Shall she despair Of rescuing that
amendment for her own sake and the
sake Of all the other States? Not she.
