peared to the Supreme Court, and there
fore il was adjudged that he was en-
titled to a license; but If Judge STA
PILES had had the right to show to the
Supreme Court that Mr.. RoyALh had
NOT complied with statutory condition
which the Supreme Court itself had oe'
cided to be binding upon Mr.. RoYALh
and ali good citizens, that court could
not and would not have decided that ne
was entitled to license.
Taxes levied for the school tdnd can
not be paid ia coupons. This IS GER
tainly the law now. The Stste has the
right to require all couponsto be veriiied
Both these questions must go to the Su-
preme Court and be decided there, and
be decided against the State. before any
taxpayer can force the State to take his
coupons. That court has over and over
again decided that the law is constitu-
tional which requires coupons to be
verified, and the Justices might not
like to have that same question brought
before them again. But if Mr.. RoYALL
really believes that that court has re-
versed its original decision and decided
that lawyer may practice without a
license if he has offered unveritied cou-
pons to the collector, or that any tax
payer can offer unverified coupons and
then defy the collector to levy, let him
show bis faith by his works, and make
up another case for the Supreme Court
presenting ali these points.
In the mean time ii is the bounden
duty of the Virginia Legislature, and
especially Of the Democrats in that
body, to see that the decision oil the
Supreme Court requiring coupons to
be verified is respected in this Common
wealth. We are all pledged to do all
we can to settle the debt according to
the provisions of the RIDDLEBERGER

Sherman and the President.
The Memphis Aralanche says


"Senator Sherman was particularly
unfortunate in his manner Of showing
the country how it is possible for the
Senate TO constrain the President with
out constraining him. He admitted
that the Senate could not control the
discretion of the President"
Correct. And it also appears that
Senator SHERMAN cannot control his
own discretion, a fact we take to be a
compensating phase of the fight on the
President. SHERMAN in his efforts to
head off EDMUNDs in the race for the
presidential nomination is making a
spectacle of himself not calculated to
impress favorably the thinking men of
the country. In trying to show the coun-
try the way to constrain" the Presi-
dent, be has given the best possible
reasons for containing" JOHN SHER-

Mr.. McCandlish hoped the House

they rejected his resolution Saturday,
calling for an investigation Of the af-
fairs Of the Virginia and North Caro-

fore moved a reconsideration.
Mr.. Cardwell opposed reconsidera-
ton. 1t seemed to him that the an
tagonism of the gentleman from Peters
burg mr.. McCandlishl to this rail-
road amounted to nothing less than
persecution. He trusted the House
would not reconsider.
Mr.. Waddill thought it strange that
a member of the House could not rise
and ask for a reconsideration without
having improper motives impugned t.
him. lie had no interest in the matter
but he thought if the gentleman from
Petersburg believed he was best serving

that the large operators were trying to market
their holdings There was undoubtedly some
heyvy selling, especially Of the grangers for
foreign account. There was some realizing to-
ward the latter part of the day, and the market
closed at something under the best prices
reached. The market opened rather heavy
this morning, although declines from last
evenings closing prices In no case exceeded x
per cent. There was further slight fractional
decline in the earlier trading. but
the market soon rallied and became
strong throughout, the list remaining
so with little change until .thc last hour,
when prices, yielded fractlonaly, but the
market closed steady. Almost everything on
the active list is higher Tonight. There is
considerable difference Of opinion on the street
tonight, many maintaining that top prices
have been touched, while others think that
the Vanderbilt properties and Union Raclhc
