Mr.. Davis ON Admiral Semmes

A New Orleans special says: II has
been proposed to erect monument at
Mobile in honor of Admiral Semmes.
Mr.. Davis was addressed on the sub
ject, and sent the following letter to the
committee Of the association having the
matter in charge:
Gentlemen,-If anything had been
needed to excite my desire to have
fitting testimony borne to the charac.
ter and services of Admiral Semmes,
deceased, that want would have been
supplied by the terms of your letter.
| wildly remember when our institu-
tons in means and for nautical warfare
offered no solution to the minds Of
others Semmes came forward with q
proposition, which was accepted, and
out Of which grew the historical cruiser
Sumter. His subsequent career IS
commander Of the Alabama, too, is so
generally known as to require no more
than reference to the fact that she bore
the Confederate flag as far as the ocean
bears its form, and made the name of
our Government known where, but for
Semmes, the Confederacy would never
have bad place in the list Of those dis
taut people Of the family of nations.
You ask me to name day when can
be with you in connection with your
purpose TO raise . monument in the
memory of Raphael Semmes. Ny
health is so uncertain that dare not
promise to meet you on any particular
day, but Mobile is so near to my home
that whenever the date for your meet.
ing is fixed, say apy time after the first
week Of May, / hope it will be In. my
power to comply with your invitation
and with my own earnest desire to be
with you. Faithfully yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Not So.

In IN interview with q Washington
reporter q few days ago, General Ma.
HONE said Of Governor LEE that he
now invokes the people of Virginia to
defy the law as adjudicated by the
highest and sblest legal tribunal in all
the land.
From which it would appear that
General MALONE supposes that the
Supreme Court of the United States
has decided that the people Of Virginia
must pay their taxes in coupons.
Governor LEES proclamation was
based upon the fact that no judicial
tribunal ever has or ever will render a
decision so absurd. lie asks the peo-
pie not to pay their taxes in coupons.
He asks them to hold public meetings
and Let their friends and neighbours and
al the world know that they will not
pay their taxes in coupons and that
they wish oil of their friends to follow
their example.
Two things are clear, therefore
First, Governor LEE recognizes the
right Of the people to pay their taxes
In coupons. Otherwise, he would not
ask them not to exercise that right.
Second, Governor LEE does not ask
anybody to defy the decisions Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
On the contrary, he tells the people
that II is those very decisions which
rendered it necessary for him to issue
the proclamation in question.

Nelson Resolves Against Using Cou.

Many Of the taxpayers of Nelson

The object of the meeting was stated
by Mr.. Bennett II. Gordon, on whose

Mr.. Robert Whitehead offered the
following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas the people Of Virginia have

The State Committee.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittes was in session yesterday. What
IL did is stated in our local columns.
We will comment upon its action so far
o. to say that the members voted and
spoke not for themselves only, but for
the whole Democratic party of Virginia
when they with one voice and unani-
nous vote demanded that Mr.. BAR.
BoUR should continue at the head of the
army which he has thrice led to VIC
tory. Mr.. BARBOUR consented to
serv. his State again, and withdrew his
resignation. He is no ACHILLES. He
did not wish to sulk in his tent. He
offered his resignation because be ex-
pectsd to visit Europe in July and be
absent from Virginia for several
months-so long that he considered
that 1t would be unwise to leave the
State Central Committee without q
head for SO long . period. The pro-
blem Of keeping Mr.. BARBOUR at the
head Of the committee and yet allow
ing him to 60 to Europe was happily
solved by appointing Colonel ARCHER
ANDERSON, long one Of his trusted
lieutenants, as acting chairman. This,
too, was done unanimously.
We congratulate the Democratic
party Of Virginia upon this suspicious
opening of the campaign of 1886.

THE PRINTING TELEGRAPH.
Sends n Message and Keeps
n COpy


A number of bankers, lawyers, scien-
lists, and journalists gathered yester.
day afternoon at the Office of the Inter-
national Printing Telegraph Company,
No. 327 Walnut street, to witness a
practical test Of an electrical invention
which, 1t is claimed, will largely sup
plant the telephone. This is the print
ing telegraph. The instrument looks
very much like a typewriter, but it has
this advantage over typewriter, that
while it prints one copy, or manifold
copies if desired, right before the opera
tors eyes, it prints exact duplicate
copies at the other end of a tele-
graph-wiie, hundreds or thousands of
miles away. Among other advantages
which it possesses over the ordinary
telegraph or telephone system is that it
gives the sender an exact copy Of every
message that he sends, and places every
word right before his eyes, so that any
mistake will be at once detected. 1t
can be operated by any child who can
read, and can be operated as fast as a
typewriter, which is considerably faster
than the Morse telegraph system. AS
showing the advantages that the print
ing telegraph possesses over anything
now in use, it is claimed that a message
can be transmitted to the possessor
of an instrument in his .bsence
from his office and he will find it re-
corded. The recording Of the message
at both points Of sending and receiving
prevents disputes as to the contents of
the message. II is impossible to read
by sound or to intercept message by
tapping the wires, thus rendering Sc
crecy incomplete. Its absolute accu-
racy renders it invaluable in CONNER
cial or financial transactions, especially
for bankers, merchants. railroads, and
all other persons requiring minute &C.
curacy. 1t can be used as a stock in
dicator. 1t will duplicate the same
message at any number Of points, and
can give any number Of reproductions
Of su original message in transfer. Its
use for newspapers is invaluable. A
correspondent in Boston, for example,
can call up Offices in New York, Phlla-
delphIa, Baltimore, and Cincinnati, and
produce his copy in the Office of news
papers in each place ready for imme-
date use in the composing-room. The
instrument is both receiver and trans.
mitter.
AT the exhibition yesterday all that
has been claimed for the printing tele-
graph was apparently justified. There
were two instruments in the room, but
they were practically about one hun
bred and thirty miles apart, for the
wire which connected them ran from
one instrument to the city of Reading
and then back to the other instrument,
ank the same messages were printed on
both instruments simultaneously. That
is TO say, the operator touched key
like the key of type writer, and let
ter was printed on the paper on the in
strument before him, and at the same
instant the same letter appeared on the
paper on the other instrument at the
other end Of the wire, over a hundred
miles long. 1t would have been the
same if the wire had been a thousand
miles long.

APrinceIy G!u foa Nephew,

A Du Bots special says : A deed vas
placed on record yesterday at Clear
field conveying, by John Du Bots, the
millionaire lumberman of this place, to
John Z. Du Bots, nephew, his entire
estate here, at Williamsport. W. Va,
and elsewhere, together with all moneys
in hank, for a nominal consideration.
The property conveyed is worth from
three to five million dollars. 1t is prin-
cipalIy located here, where Mr.. Du
Bois's mills are, and some twenty thou
sand acres Of timber land, the finest
tract in the State. Mr.. Du Bots mas
been in very bad health for a number
Of months. His case is hopeless, and
death is likely to ensue at any time.
The junior Du Bots is in his twenty
fifth year, and is young man Of in
tegrity and thoroughly conversant with
the business.

that virginisns do not fully re-

Of the paragraphists, the Concord

valuable, sound, and truly philosophic.
No other than Mr.. EMERSON said Of its

but tru,hfully comments the Boston
Berald "This effort at high thinking
has now cleared itself Of most Of its

strong footing in American thought and

gilman methods Of thought would, we
believe, constitute an acceptable bal

tied to, give more steady and practical
direction to the work Of the philoso-

SINGULAR INSURANCE CASE.
Mysterious Disappearance or a Swiss
B0y-Ciaim for Policy.


BOy-Ciaim for Policy.
A St. Louis (Mc.) special says
Charles Ohlendorf is in jail here under
circumstances Of peculiarly sensa-
'ioDal character. He was formerly in
the employ of the Pullman company,
OF Chicago, and came to st. Louis in
the early part of this month. On the
18th instant he became acquainted with
Arnold Taggli, a Swiss boy, eigh-
teen years old, and two days after.
ward he and his new acquaintance
went to an insurance agency, and
each had his life insured for 10000
for the benefit OF the other. After the
had secured the insurance the suspicion
OF the company was aroused, and the
matter was reported to the police on
the theory that one Of the two intended
to murder the other. To-day Ohlen-
dorf came here and claimed the s6, 600
insurance on Taggli's life, saying that
the latter had been drowned at Com.
merce, and that an inquest had been
held on the body. He, in proof of his
statement, produced coroner's certifi-
cate OF the inquest and the cause of
death.
On the representation of the insu.
rance company and the suspicious cir.-
cumstsnces surrounding the matter.
ohlendorf is held to await the result Of
an investigation into tk, case.

Fatal Result OF Pooling with Pistol
MartinsyiIle Notes.
lCorrespondence ofthe Richmcnd Dispatch. |
MARTiNsvILLE, VA, April 81, 'S6.
This county has been the scene of an-
other fearful tragedy. On yesterday
some colored people gathered at Axton,
q railroad station near here, and during
the evening pistol was exhibited for
their amusement. While the owner
was performing some feat with this dam
gerous toy, it Unexpectedly exploded
and killed q colored man ALMOST in
stantly. 1t is claimed that the shooting
was entirely accidental, and that the
slayer and slain were fast friends. It
will be remembered that this locality is
also the scene Of the .lynching that
occurred few days since. No clue as
to who the lynchers are has as yet been
discovered. Mr.. Mahon is slowly i'm
proving, and there is now slight hope
of his recovery.
Martinsville is still pushing to the
front as progressive little town. The
Sutherlin block, which was almost to.
tally destroyed, is now rebuilt. Many
new business and dwelling-houses are
being built. The almost certainty Of
the successful completion Of the Roa-
noke and Southern railroad has caused
real estate to run up as if by magic.
An election is ordered for the 18th Of
June to ascertain whether our county
will vote 100000 to this enterprise.
These bonds are to run not less than
thirty-Jur years. and bear interest at
4 per centum. There is scarcely q
doubt but that our people will gladly
avail themselves Of this grand oppor-
tunity to rid themselves of a great OPP
preston.
The weather has been beautiful for
the past few days, and our market has
been glutted with tobacco. There were
$4,000 pounds sold in one day at an
average Of $3.50, which is a grand
showing for our market when we re-
member that three years ago there was
not pound sold here. CoLFAx.

for the present. We hear that there is

sellers to close the saloons on Sunday
and to refuse to sell liquors to minors.
