Our military.

After Richmond's experience Tues
day night no one will begrudge the
small amount Of money that has been
appropriated by the city towards the
support Of our military. The scenes
and incidents at the penitentiary Illus
,yated the truth OF what was said in
these columns not long ago-that when
the military are needed they are needed
badly. The lesson Of these scenes and
incidents is that every possible encour-
segment should be given the citizen
soldiery. The military responded
promptly to the penitentiary alarm,
and who shall say that this fact did not
prevent serious outbreak. IL is safe
to assume that few women and children
in Richmond would have slept last
night had it not been known that q cor
don Of bayonets surrounded the eight
hundred convicts in our State prison.

The Lien Proposition.

The Lynchburg Vnginian pronounces
novel " the proposition TO make taxes
paid, or rather rendered, in coupons a
lien upon the real estate Of the person
SO using coupons. Whatever else it
may be, il is not novel for it has been
suggested over and over again in this
journal.
The Tirginion gives as reasons for
fasoring the proposition just the very
considerations which We should present
as reasons why it ought to be adopted
namely:
"If it we're good law, we unhesi-
tatingly maintain that il would be good
morals. Why? For two reasons. First
", because only those whose taxes are
large, and who are rich and better able
TO pay their dues to the State, can prac-
tically avail themselves of the coupons.
The poor man. who rs less able to pay,
has TO step up TO the captains desk and
pay his fare in full because the amount
is small and there are no accessible
coupons in which TO discharge it. while
the more favored son Of fortune
travels on half fare by reason of his
ability 90 secure coupons ut flfty cents 10
the dollar. is this right? 1t is not
right. Is this psuioucg IL is the
very reverse. 1t is selfish, mean,
st;pry. and unpatriotic. Do these rich
men not owe their taxes TO the State
They DO. Well, ought not they not to
nav them in falli Now, then, il one
Of them owes a hundred dollars in
taxes, snd in spirit Of cupidity buys
hundred dollars Of coupons for fifty
dollars Of money, and discharges his
bprdred dollars of taxes with these
fifty dollars OF coupons, is he not
travelling for half fare, while his less
favored eompasioa dc royage is CON-
PEELED by the practical necessity Of the
situation to pay full fare"
The State Constitution provides that
taxation shall be equal aud uniform,
There is no equality or uniformity
where one man pays in good money and
another pays in coupons purchased at
bali their face-vslue. How can the
equally be securely We say by
making the difference between the face
value and the price OF which they were
purchased lien upon the real estate Of
The person US ng th,m. Not hundred
men In Virginia would use coupons

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1856
The Eleventh Amendment.


We have never conceded that the pro-
vision Of the Federal Constitution
which prohibits the several States from
passing laws impairing the obligation Of
contracts was intended by the fathers
of the republic to apply to any other
contracts than those between persons.
But even If it was intended to apply to
a States contracts, the eleventh amend
ment nulli6ed it.
Friend SNowDEN, Of the Alexan-
dria Gazette, will have it, nevertheless,
that we are - repudiator and nulli-
fer" He also says
"Tbe men who framed the eleventh.
amendment were honest, upright citl-
yens, into whose minds never entered
the thought that Virginia would make
her State organization the means where
by she could create debts and then re-
fuse to pay them; and when they added
that amendment TO the Constitution
they had no idea that an attempt would
ever be made TO use il for any such pur-
pose. To suppose that they formulated
that amendment for the express pur-
pose of afIording their descendants an
excuse for robbing people who in good
faith lent them their money would be
TO tarnish escutcheons which until now
have escaped the slightest blemish"
The men who framed the eleventh
amendment held that the several States
we're soyereigns and could not be made
to pay their debts. And even now
there is no constitutional lawyer that
we know or ever heard Of who holds
that States can constitutionslly be made
10 pay the principal of their debts. Not
q Justice on the bench OF the Supreme
Court OF the United States holds that
doctrine. They all concede that the
eleventh amendment does protect the
States from suits in the Federal courts
prosecuted for the purpose of compelling
them to pay their matured bonds. 1t
is only because the Virginia coupons
stipulste upon their face that they are
to be received for all debts and demands
due the State that the Federal courts
have dared to arrsign the Common
wealth Of Virginia at their bar, and
fine her through her officers refusing
TO receive those coupons for taxes.
1t was because Of that usurpation Of
authority by the Federal courts that the
Virginia Democratic State Convention
OF 1883 declared that the debt Of this
State had ceased to be question Of
dollars and cents. The RIDDLEBER'
GER bill is the settlement offered by
the State Of Virginia. The forcing o
coupons into the State Treasury is The
non-settlement upheld by Judge BoNr
and other Federal judges. For thu
Democrats of Virginia to accept tn
latter would be to invite "negro su
premacy," which is Of all evils the on
most dreaded by our people, but on
to which BOND would make no oh
lection. We must stand by Virginia
friend SNowDEN.

Captain E. I. Page, master of the
brig Manson, Of this city, has addressed
q communication TO the photographic
Office in this city giving an account Of
a phenomenon which he encountered in
a recent voyage to the west coast Of
Africa. He states that from longitude
q degrees minutes north, latitude 81
degrees west, to longitude IL degrees
Al minutes north, l9 degrees Al minutes
west, there stretched an area of pale
green water indicating shallow sound
ings. Thinking be was approaching
reef, he consulted the sailing charts,
and found the depth given as PA
fathoms. He also took his own sound
irgs, and ran out l25 fathoms without
touching bottom.
The popularity Of this is the fact
that the light shade Of water is never
seen except where the water is shall
low, the usual color being the deep
blue. The captain reports that at
night the phosphorescent light was so
bright as to enable him to read by it.
The mystery is unsolved as yet.
