I've Suspicious Characters Have
Already Been Arrested and
Jailed.
ALBANY, March 1.-Two men,
whs apperred to be acting sus-
pielously in the neighborhosd Of
the Tower mansion, where Cleve-
land lives, were arrested this morno
ing at II o'clock by Detectives
Dawyer and Morris, and by order
of the Chief Of Police we're taken
to the police station here. They
were identified by Col. Dwight
Lawrence as two detectives named
Thomas Craig and Theodore Wal
dron. employed by a private agen-
cy at 3O4 Broadway, New York
They refused to tell their business
to the Chief of Police, and refer
red to Inspector Byrnes to say
what it was. They were taken be-
fore magistrate and committed
for a further hearing. The latest
supposition is that they are detec-
tives employed by friends Of Cleve-
land without his knowledge or the
knowledge Of the authorities, to
protect him from the violence which
has been threatened from time to
time.

that Grant is by no means on his

Of outside ppo>it.on against this very

which proposed to establish shops in the
country, a measure which it was thought
would be injurious to traders in the towns.
The present Draft only lcgaIises what
has arisen, with doubtful legality, out of
the ordinary requirements. It is not salts

stop it altogether, which would probably be
injurious 10 the labourerS, or recognise it.

THE RIGHT OF VIRGINIA COUPON-HOLD-
EES TO. PAY TAXES IN COUPONS AZ
FIRMED.-THE REMEDY AGAINST THE
| TAX-COLLECTOR.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court of the
United States oday in the group of i'm
pQrtant cases known as the Virginia cou-
pom tax cases, which stand upon the docket
as follows No SIS, Thomas Poindexter
against Samuel c. Greenhow No. $50,
VIM. l.. White against the same No. $50,
Samuel S. Garter against the same No.
S26, 5. Brown Allen, auditor, and others
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company ; No 1860, Il. j. Chaf1in against
ings Court Of the City of Richmond, Nos.
$50 and $50 from the United States Cir
cult Court for the Eastern District Dis
trict OF Virginia, No S26 from the same
court for the Western District of that
State. and No. 1860 from the Virginia Su-
preme Court Of Appeals.
The first three Of the above named cases
present directly the question OF the effect
of Il tender for taxes OF the coupons of the
bonds Of March 30, 1871 and the right of
the Virginia taxpayer to bring suits for
damages against The taX-colector for levy
ing on his property after teuder of tax
receivable coupons. The sixth case pre-
sents the question of the right of q citizen
of Virginia to pay a license tax imposed
by statute Of that State III the tax re-
ceivable coupons Of the bonds OF March
80, 1871. The fourth case presents the
question Of the right OF Il nonresident
taxpayer OF Virginia, after . tender of
coupons for taxes, to an injunction to re-
strain the levy on and sale of his property
The principal opinion i'll this group of
cases has direct reference to No. 5SS, Pom
dexter against GreenhoW 1t was pre-
pared and delivered by Mr.. Justice Mat
theTs, and decides the question presented
by that case as follows:

and unquestioned practice in similar cases
