w. R. smith.

The Richmond correspondent Of the
Petersburg Iadec-Appeql, referring to the
trial of W. r. Smit!!, the defaulting clerk
of the first auditors Office. says of him
The fact of the business is. there never
was a case in Virginia like that OF VIM.
r. Smith. He came to Richmond during
the war, and has been in government en-
nIoyment continuously since. Shortly
after the war he became head clerk in the
auditors office, and when w. Ii. Taylor
went out of office as auditor Smith had SO
impressed himself upon those people who
had direct dealings with the auditor, that
he was retained by Mr.. Massey. 5. Brown
Allen. who succeeded Mr., Magsie, dis
charged Smith for a short while, but find
ING it troublesome to get along without
him. he sent for him and reinstated him.
When Morton Mayre came into the audi
tors office he retained Smith as the only
indispensable man in the office, aud yet,
all this time, as the seauel SHOWS, ne was
the most negligent Of all the clerks em-
Moved in the auditors office. He handled

and the poor old state Of Virginia through
his negligence and malfeaSanoe lost hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars. Yet he was
tbe Indispensable clerk in the auditor 8
office to both parties, republican and dem
ocratic. When arrested he gave Col.
Marye a deed on certain coal mines and
real estate in West Virginia, in order to
secure the auditor from loss; hut 10 and
behold, Col. Marye writes to the clerk of
the court for the county in which
smith said his possessions laid, and not a

War in Europe.

War between England and Russia now
seems inevitable. Both powers are making
gigantic preparations, and the English
Parliament has voted an immense wal
credit to the Government. TWAS reported
on Monday that a bloody engagement had
taken place between the Afghan and Rus.
sian troops, in which the latter were de-
feated with loss of 1000. Later adj
vices, however, do not confirm the report
neither do they deny it, 1t is said that
Russia is suppressing the war news. AS
vet there has been no open declaration OF
war, bat the feeling in both countries is
SO inten sc that it is not supposed that
open hostilities will be long deferred.

1t is now suggested that every man who
pays his taxes i'll coupons shall be pub
Iished 1t is not asked that a black mark
should be drawn around his name, but that
is the meaning oft. AS the law doesnot in
hibit taX-paying in coupons, but III fact
provides a tax receivable coupon for that
purpose, we cannot see where the crime
comes in. 1t is one of the methods sug-
gested to save the Treasury from the blum
ders of IL Democratic Legislature and
show an affected concern for the condition
Of the State brought about by the stupid
ity of Democratic Legislature, and its
ineapacity to legislate for the people. AS q
policy we have never approved the use OF
coupons to pay taxes, but as a right it is
the privilege of any one to avail Of it,
and no man should be assalled because he
may elect to do what the law stipl;lates he
may do This thing of trying to drive
men from the exercise Of legal right by
epithet and denunciation has been prac-
ticed too long in Virginia. If Il law is
oppressive IN its operation let those bea +
| the blame who have enacted such Il law,
and not those who may choose to take adj
vantage OF the conditions which it pre-
scribes. They are simply doing what was
contemplated in the law they should do,
and in that are in no way amenable for
its enactment. Individual liberty, regu-
lated by law, is primary principle OF our
institutions, and to hold a person up to
public reprobation because a law may be
obnoxious, in the passage of which he was
in no wise concerned, simply for the rea-
son that he avails Of its privileges, is a
species of prescription intolerable to think
about, much less to commend to public
| approval,

Our contemporary of the Craig county
Record, commenting on an article recently
published in the VIRGINIAN on Evolution
and Affinity concludes: las Beech
er is still minister OF the Gospel, we
must concede him some method of ex-
explaining the theory of Evolution
which will render it consistent with
such belief" Mr.. Beeeher's views OF
Evolution necessarily deny the Bible his
tory of mans creation. He rejects, by inn
plication at least Moses anq the Prophets
and Christ and the Apostles, and conse-
quently ought to lay no claim to orthodoxy
in religious matters. The editorial article
referred to was written to show the alb
surdity of the Evolution theory, and what
it would logically lead to. if there was any
thing in it. Beecher has predicated his
whole theory in speculative philosophy, ig-
nores Faith, the foundation of the chris
tian religion, and plunges headlong into
materi2llsm and Buddhism.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA..
OFFICE OF ATToRNEY-GENERAL.
RICHMOND, April q, 1885.
TO the Editor of the Wing:
l see in several papers statement of a
conference between Governor William e.
Comeron and myself, to the effect that we
did not know the exact character of the Te-
cent Virginia coupon decisions by the Su-
preme Court of the United States and az
soon as they We're received the Governor
would call an extra session of tie General
Assembly.
The arhoie statement is false No such
5satercseee was had and no such remarks
were made by Governor Cameron.
The subject of an extra session has nos
deem discussed or mentioned by the Gov
ernor, in my presence.
Respectfully.
f. S. BLAIR,
Attorney-General.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Virginia coupon cases has acted like q
bombshell in the ranks Of the Democratic
politicians. Our Democratic friends haze
been thrown into condition of intense
CONSERVATION, with n tendency to demor-
alizationamong the aspirants for Guberna-
torial honors. 1t looks like the effect will
he to decimate this class OF Statesmen,
and confine the selection to limited
number. The decision disposes OF Fltz.
Lee, Robert Beverley, Col. WltherS, and
gentlemen of their record on the dept
question, and reduces the line OF selection
to such as Judge Staples, Judge Harris,
James Barbour, Dr.. Moffett, Mr.. Massey
ct ais, who were opposed to the funding
bill of 1871. 1t will be an interesting study
to watch the manBuyres of parties pre-
liminary to the respective State ConvenT
tions, and note. the proceedings of the
Democratic Convention, especially, when
it assemblies There will be music in the
air all around.

The Viladicator persists in its error IN
regard to the Asylum. From 1876 to 1850
owing to the failure of the legislature to
make the proper appropriations, the asy-
lum was severely pressed for funds and
the Directors as such and without assum-
ing any personal responsibility, borrowed
all the Staunton banks could loan. In
January, 1881. Col. A. w. Hartman,
member of the Board was delegated to VISIT
Richmond and see if an arrangement could
be effected. with Auditor Massie or Gov
ernor Holiday to give the Asylum the
funds to meet the current eXpenseSand com

request, Col. w. l.. Bumgardner WAS

Governor that the Staunton banks had re-
