The Wing.

The new Wing made its appearance
yesterday. The bow of its editor is
graceful and all his staff show care
full journalistic training. A first No.
is the most difficult of all to bring out
in proper form. Hardly ever does it
please the new editor himself. But our
neighbor has succeeded in making even
first No. good. We admire, too, the
new heading; because the object Of
printing a name at the head of news
paper is accomplished when that name
is printed in the plainest and most easily
read Of letters. The whole sheet has
bright, newsy look, and must have
made good impression on the public.

had two morning papers, and surely
Richmond is able to support two. We

pleasant as those which have so long
existed heretofore between the latter
two papers.

NEAR CARTERsvILLE, Jan. 20, $50.
To the Editor efthe Dispatch:
Being practically without represen-
iation from this county in the General
Assembly, the writer has sought
through the medium Of your valuable
paper to make an appeal to the mem
bers of the Legislature in behalf Of the
taxpayers Of this county, which is in
the heart of the "black district" to
save us from the evils which the pas
sage Of the bill proposed by Senator
Williams in regard to furnishing free
school-books would entail upon US.
To require the counties or school dis
tricts to levy q tax for this purpose
where the blacks outnumber the whites
more than two to one, as is the
case in this county, added to our al
ready high county levies and
taxes, would virtually amount to con-
fiscation Of the property Of the whites,
for everybody knows who would have
to foot the bill. And to leave it to the
popular vote in the black counties
would have precisely the same result
as a mandatory law, for the blacks, led
by . few whites who want Office, al
ways act together as unit. Coming
as the Senator does from part Of the
State where there are comparatively
few negroes, he cannot realize the evils
which the adoption of his unfair mea-
sure would infict upon the property
holders of this part of the State. and
the only plausible argument in support
of his proposition, that coupons could
not then intercept the school moneys,
falls to the ground since the recent de-
cision of the Court of Appeals. If
there was such pledge in the Democrat
ic platform as furnishing free school,
books, we of these counties did not
understand it, but voted solely for the
defeat of Mahoneism, and not to fasten
any additional shackles upon our own
limbs. l have. yet to. meet with the
first white man in favor Of the above
project. Will Messrs. Miller and Du-
puy and the few other Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature from the black
counties remember their constituents,
and use every effort in their power to
to defeat this bill of abominatiOn?
Any increase of taxation is unpopu-
lar with the people and dangerous to
the party that imposes it; and Malone
is not dead, but waiting for his oppor'
tunity to climb into power on the same
ladder upon which he did before. The
gallant Coleman, with others, made
brave fight against the cohorts of Re-
publicanism in this and some other
counties, and contributed much owards
the general result in the State, and al
though victory perches upon the Demo-
cratic banner and sheds its benign in-
huence over the more favored portions
Of the State, yet We of this section are
still under the baleful shadow of
negro majority. CUMBERLAND.

was Mr.. BoutsIls. he had awakened
The wrong citizen. Mr.. Wise drew :.
beautiful parallel Of Republican con-
sistency by citing the Republican side
Of the House TO the methods Of political
bossism Of the great Republican lead
ers, ex-Confederste Brigadier- General
Malone, Guerilla Mosby, and General
Longstreet. Though brief, as It was, the
speech is tonight characterized by men
Of both parties ss the greatest Of the
kind ever delivered IN the House of
Representatives. At the close the
speaker was given an ovation on the
Democratic side. Hewitt and men Of
his conservative type went almost wild
with excitement. Shaking hands was
not enough. Old men and young men
alike threw their arms about his
neck. In fifteen minutes this man,
who had sat IN Congress for three
terms without ever saying q word
other than to conscientious cast of his
vote and laboring for the people, had
made himself illustrious. His name is
Wise and he is from Virginia--a
nephew of the famed Governor and
cousin of the late candidate for Gov
ernor of Virginia on the Republican
ticket. Indiana and her great institu-
ton of education can share with Virginia
the honors, for at Bloomington, Ind, he
was educated and graduated from that
institution. He represents the Rich
mond district.

sal,sbury's Defeat.

By The defeat Of the SALISBURY
Government British parties have again
been thrown into confusion. At this
writing it is hardly competent to say
more in the way Of . positive assertion.
Certainly it is premature to claim, as
some of our contemporaries have al
ready done, that the result Of Tuesdays
vote marks . signal Parnellite vic
tory. Much less are we justified in
assuming that it was . signal
victory for Mr.. GLADSTONE. When, q
few months ago, he went out Of power
on question Of F" beer, 1t was claimed
that he courted defeat. The results Of
the late elections in England rendered
It impossible for the Tory Government
to hold power for any length Of time
without making embarrassing COM
promises. The issues Of the can
vass had been complex. The COM
plexion of the House of Commons
is more remarkable, perhaps, than that
of any House that ever before assem-
bled. Seeing this, may it not be that
SALISBURY, in stalking all on "three-
acres-and.a-cow amendment" courted
defeat in order to lead up to dissolu-
ton of Parliament and an appeal to the
country Upon the new Premier, Mr..
GLADSTONE, or some one else, will be
thrown the responsibility Of dealing
with the Irish question, and it must be
admitted that the position that officer
will find himself in will not
be an enviable one. While we believe
that the proper, the just, and the wise
solution Of the Irish problem would be
local Parliament, all the evidence
tends to show that the English public
do not think so, and that the majority
of the Liberals have been trifing with
the Home-Rulers. If, therefore, the
Tories should decide to 60 before the
country and make the issue that the
d" empire was in DANGER" the Liberals
would have to meet it fairly and square
". The results Of such tactics on the
part of the Tories might astonish the
world.

To the Editor ofthe Dispatch:
Will you allow me brief space in
your valuable paper to say few words
to the honorable gentlemen composing
the Legislature of Virginia on the sub
ject Of delinquent land-taxes? | am
very far from offering a premium to
those who would fail or refuse to pay
the taxes lawfully assessed on them
could those so delinquent be reached
directly and their delinquent property
made to discharge their debts, but in
the case Of the delinquent taxes-in
fully three fourths of the cases-the
burden falls on innocent parties, and in
very many cases there are gross errors
in the list of those delinquent taxes.
There should be at once lin the opinion
of the writer a bill passed re-
hitting all of these taxes prior
to 1880, and then let legislation
follow that will hereafter sell
these delinquent lands annually or once
in two years at the farthest. In civil
transactions between man and man
there are laws Of limitations for reco-
very of debts alleged to be due, and on
most of such debts five years is the
limit. No one presumes that the Legis-
lature, by these acts Of limitation, in
tend to offer a prem um to those who
are derelict in their dpty Of paying what
they owe, but they are convinced that
it is both wise and proper that after a
reasonable period payment should be
presumed. Equity in the case of these
delinquent taxes demands that these
taxes shall be RENTED which have
been outstanding for say more than
five years. The voice Of the people
also demands it and let the Legislature
at once, without delay, pass such an
act, and let all the names of the legis-
lators who vote against such bill be
printed in capital letters, that they may
"be seen and known Of all men,"
Could the legislators mingle with their
constituency for only one week just now
and examine into this matter, and see
what injustice will be done if the pres
ent law is enforced, and see with what
unanimity the people demand release
from this burden Of oppression, | am
free to say do not believe that there
would be "baker's dozen" in the
whole of the Legislature who would OPP
pose the passage Of law similar to the
one here outlined. j. b. BELL.

The Washington correspondent Of
Indianapolis Sentinel gives the follow
ing account Of the manner in which
Hon. George D. Wise handled Boutelle,
of Maine, on Friday last:
Finally the motion Of Mr.. Herbert
prevailed, and fifteen minutes were
allowed on side for debate. Boutelle
is one of the young members from
Maine, this being his second term in
Congress. He comes from the famous
Boutelle family of New England, and
is ranked in the House as one of the
able Republican members. His speech
was full Of venom, saturated with
gall and dipped in the dripping
gore from the bloody shirt. The tar
nished garment was Haunted higher
than the tip-end of the lightning-rod
extending beyond the head Of the God
dess Of Liberty browning the dome Of
the Capitol. The old war issues were
revived. The old, old story Of the Fed
erals and Confederates was swung to
the winds. 1t was Q speech after the
fashion of those delivered by Republi.
can orators In campaigns for the last
twenty years. At the close of Mr..
Boutelle's argument Mr.. Herbert.
chairman Of the committee, announced
that Hon. George D. Mise, of Virginia,
would reply TO the gentleman from
Maine. BY this time every gallery was
crowded, It seemed the entire capital
had sent its feminine beauties to
add to the inspiration Of the hour.
When Mr.. Wise arose the Ut
most silence prevailed. Though some
what excited. hs bore himself with
dignity and composure that lent addi-
tional interest to the debate. Word

precision, harder and harder were his
