To the Editor Of the Richmond Dispatch:
So much is being written every day con-
corning tax-raying ard coupons that I ask
room for little cay for myself, and
propose to make an announcement that
will have considerable interest to certain
parties.
Az soon as ] can get another judgment
against county treasurer and the Board OF
Indemnity for trespass in levying on q
taxpayer after tender of coupons, | shall
apply to the United States Circuit Court,
In the name of nonresident tax payer
and bondholder, for an injunction to re.
strain the Board of Indemnity from pay
ing that judgment out OF the States mo-
ney, upon the ground that the act of Az.
sembly creating the Board is unconstitution-
al and void. This for two reasons:
l. The Genera! Assembly has DO power
under the State Constitution to authorize
six trespassers to take that tax paver's
money, contributed by him to the support
and maintenance of the Government, and
apply it to the payment of damages in which
they have been mulcted for their own pri.
vate personal tresrasses.
.. The General Assembly has no power
under tho Constitution to divert from that
bondholder money in the Treasury which
should rightfuly 90 to him, and allow six
trespassers to take it and pay the damages
incurred by them for their trespasses.

10 lie editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
lu your Washington letter yesterday, as
well as editorily, you assert that Mrs. Cieye
land ana the ladies who were to have &C.
eompanied her to Richmond with the Presi-
dent, declined going because tho daughter
OF ex-Fresident Davis was TO assist in the
proposed reception at the Governors man
SOD. This statement illustrates the enter
prize OF the GAZETTE in getting Washington
news, since it is in this instance ahead of
The Baltimore SIN and Of two OF the LEADING
New York daiies, in all Of which I have
looked in vain for this item.
Mrs. Cleveland Wednesday morning WAS
going with her husband; in the evening pa
psrs Of that day the presence Of Miss Davis
at Gov. Lees was spoken Of; that night the
President telegraphed to Richmond that his
vile would not accompany him-crgo, Miss
Davis was at the bottom of it. This is a
slender basis for the harsh criticism made
by the GAZETTE of high official whose
vile, Tor some reason unknown to the public
suddenly changes her mind about going on
q party of pleasure.
There is not the smallest proof that Tho
determination that no ladies should accom-.
pany the Presidential party to Richmond
Thursday was due to the cause you assign.
ard the .inferencs that it was SO seems to me
lar. fetched, and unworthy a moments sc.

En-" Presidential Visit TO Richmond

HE fLAINS, Va, Oct. 90 1856.
10 The editor Of the alexandria Gazette:
Dear Sir1 have seen in your paper. as
we'll as many others, severe criticisms in
regard to the visit of the President of the
United States to our State Fair at Rich
mond, and the failure Of Mrs. Cleveland to
come. as president Of the State Agricultu-
raj Society wish TO say that the President
and Mrs. Cleveland were invited to De our
guests. Owing 10 my necessary absence
from the city CT Richmond Gov. Lee, at my
request, conducted the correspondence with
he President after his acceptance Of the in
Walton. sent delegation to Washington
to escort the Presidential party to Rich
mond; also, delegation on the part
OF the City Council and the State
AGRICULTURAL Society to meet them at
Milford, that on the arrival in Rich.
'nond l, with Gov. Lee, also the guest of the
society, met tbem at the depot, and escort
eli then to the fair grounds, and that " as
not absent from his side two minutes during
bis stay i'll Richmond, aud that have never
seen such hearty welcome extended to
any man iii my life. I heard probably l 900
persons express their regrets that Mrs.
Cleveland did not come, and the response
| from the President was that Mrs. Cleye
'N"N "iShSu W SOuiSi oaU luSt tu6 STAY Was
very short, and to come and return the
same day would be very tiresome to ladies,
but thai she would come at some future
time and make the acquaintance of Virgin.
ms ladies, when she would have more time
to TO il; that he bad to return at an early
hour tonight"
The insinuations from the press thai.
tie contemplated reception at the Cover.
nor'5 house. to be assisted by Mrs. Gov. Lee
and Miss IIinnie Darts, was the cause of the
ladies declining to come. an sure is doug
great injustice to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland as we'll as to Mrs. Gov. Lee and
Hiss Winnie Davis for, as President of the
society, positively assert that no such pro.
eramme was made by the society or any
any one else, aud therefore could not have
been the cause Of her failure to come. I
wish to add that there was no political sig.
nihcance in the visit OF the President. ex.
cept the recognition by hin, Of the interest,",
OF 81 per cent. of the population Of the
United States by which the other 40 per

SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER %.

MR.. BLAINE and Mr.. Powderly agree in
their statements that negro labor in the
South is not half paid. And yet nothing is
better known in the South than the fact
that such q statement is incorrect, and that
if there ever was day when negro work
ed FOR less than his labor was worth, that
day has long since passed, and that he
doesn't work now unless no chooses
and unless he is satisfied with his
wages. In sthe iron manufactures at
Chattanooga the lowest wages paid negro
laborers are ninety cents q day, to few
while by far the greater plumber receive
from one to three dollars day, and some
as high as four. 1t is also known in the
South that Philadelphia newspapers say the
wages of white labor in the coal and iron
mines of Pennsylvania range az low as
ninety ana even sixty cents day.
