As LONG anticipated by the GAZETTE, the
nomination of Mr. John Goode as Solicitor
General has been rejected by the U. S.
Senate at the instance Of Gen. Malone, his
special and malignant enemy. How Sena'
tors could allow themselves to be 50 intlu-
enced is hard to tell, but not remarkable
in view of the fact that only four democrat
ic Senators voted to confirm the nomination
of Mr.. Button for postmaster at Lynchbarg,
simply because he had spoken disparaging-
ly of some of their republican colleagues.
What the democrats of Mr.. Goodies district,
the Norfolk district, should now do, would
be to nominate him for Congress, and see
that he bs elected by rousing majority. In
that way they can best show their appreci-
alton of Mr. Goode, and their adherence OF
the man by whom the rejection of his con-
firmation was effected.

THE COUroN CASES IN COURT.-In the
Corporation Court of Fredericksburg yes.
terday the CASES Of the Commonwealth w.
the parties who had rendered coupons for
their license taxes were called The first
taken up was for keeping bar without
license. The defendant offered plea
which claimed that the tender of coupons
was sufficient TO enlitle him to 70 on with
business, Notwithstanding the refusal of the
Court to grant license. The Common.
wealth moved to reject the plea as not Of
feiiug valid answer or defence TO the in
dictment. The questions thus raised were
argued at length before Judge Slaughter
and the Judge decided in favor of the State.
Counsel for defence excepted. 1t was then
proposed TO go into trial upon the plea q
not guilty, but before the reassembIng Of
the court end jury it Wa, proposed by the
liquor dealers, through their counsel, to pay
their license taxes in money upon condition
that nollc prosrqui should he entered.
With the consent Of the Court this was
agreed to by the attorneys for the Common
wealth. Tho cases against merchants, &c,
were continued. Mr.. Cooper, agent for the
English bondholders, was spectator dur
ing tho proceedings of the Court.

IT IS gratifying to observe that the State
officers are abandoning their vain and e4-
pensive attempts to enforce the collection OF
taxes and licenses in money and to put to
trouble and Inconvenience those who offer
coupons in payment of their State dues.
There is no sense in opposing the inevitable
or in kicking against the pricks. This is
one country now, not a mere confederation
of States, and national courts override those
of States The former have decided that the
contract printed on the face of the coupons
is binding, and that consequently the cou-
pons must be received in payment of State
dues. Therefore there is nothing else un.
der the sun for the State to do except to
receive them at their face value, or TO make
same satisfactory arrangement with those
who hold them by which they may be re-
ceiyed at less than that value; and such an
arrangement, it is thought, would not be
difficult to make.

BANQUET TO BEECHER.-Mr. Gillig gave
Il brilliant banquet to the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher yesterday evening at the Metropole
Hotel in London. United States Minister
Phelps, Justice Stanley Matthews, Consul
General Waller, DR.. Parker, the Rev. Mr..
Haweis, Canon Fleming, and distinguish
ell company were present. Mr.. Beecher
made an eloquent speech, which was cnthu-
siastically applauded. In concluding, he
proposed the toast 1.-The Anglican Pastor
ate" which was responded to by Canon
Fleming and the Rev. Mcssrs. Haweis and
Parker. Justice Matthews responded to
the toast international Intercourse" The
banquet was great success. Eighty per.
sons sat down at the tables. Toasts to
Queen Victoria and President Cleveland
were proposed and responded to. MIR.
Beecher, in replying to the toast to his
health, gave All account of his own career.
He said be rejoiced that he had lived to see
all differences disappear between the North
and the South. He eulogized the mission
aries in the Southern States, and expressed
the opinion that nowhere were the masses
so conservative as in democratic and free
countries. He made no reference to Ire
land.

THE coLoRED knights of labor in Arkan-
sas pay no more regard to the orders of their
chief than the white knights in other parts
Of the country do to those of theirs. Both
chiefs tell their striking followers to go to
work, but the strikers tell their chiefs to go
to Havre de Grace, or warmer place, and
strike the more. The chiefs obey the orders
of subordinatcs instead of subordlnates
obsying the orders of their chiefs. This,
however, is not at al unnatural, as the dues
of the subordinates supply the funds upon
which the chiefs live luxurious lives. But
when an army refuses to obey the orders Of
its commander, its effectiveness has gone,
and the sooner it disbands the better for the
men who compose it, and for the cause for
which it was raised.

Mad Dog.

CHICAGO, July l0.-A mad dog had pos
session of Halstead street for the distance Of
block last night until he had bitten one
boy, stampeded the inmates OF a saloon, and
finally being killed through the efforts Of
two policemen. AS the animal rushed down
the street there was q general stampede,
but Hugo Lorey, year-old boy, was un-
able to get out OF The way and was bitten.
The dog then ran into Aldlich's saloon,
which was filled with customers The ap-
pearance OF the animal, with eyes flashing
and mouth frothing, swapping mt all objects
within his reach, created great consterDa.
ton in the saloon. Everybody, the propri-
etor included, vacated The premises, boiling
through doors and windows and falling over
each other in wild confusion. The dog re-
tanned possession OF the place until two po-
lice officers came along and killed him with
their revo!vers. They had desperate
fight, however, and narrowly escaped being
bitten One of them stood on the counter
while the other held coigne of vantage on
billiard table, from which points they fired
number Of shots and finally succeeded in
dispatching the dog. Hugo Lorey was at
tended by doctor who cauterized the
wound, and it is probable that the boy will
be sent to New York to be treated by the
Pasteur method. During the mad dogs run
along Halsted street he bit another dog
which escaped the efforts Of The crowd to
kill it.

Yesterday morning several fisherman sold

One man, after some of his employers had
sold part Of their mornings catch to the

demanded the fish back. The captain,
after considerable talk, complied with the
demand. Several American vessels have
baited at White Head, Guysboro' county,

AT,EXA
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10.

CONGRESSMAN BRADY, of the Petersburg
district, General Mahones head man after
Capt. Wise, says: "The honest sentiment OF
Virginia Is republican, and if that sentiment
has chance to express itself at the polls
there is no doubt whatever that we would
carry the State at each election" He also
saws: General Malone is stronger oday in
Virginia than he ever was. He has the full
confidence of his party and will remain ills
laeder as long as he wishes" Mr.. Brady is not
logical. If the honest sentiment of Virginia
be republican, General Malone can not pos
sibly be stronger to-day than he ever was,
for nothing is surer than tho fact that the
leaders of the real republican party in Vir-
ginia, the Wickhams, Lewises, Dezzendorfs,
Riveses, and others in every county and
city of the State, are just as much opposed
to him now as ever; and surely he has done
nothing to increase his strength from the
democratic party. Nor has Mr. Brady any
warrant for his doubt concerning fair ex-
preston of sentiment at Virginia elections.
There is probably some cheating at
every election but everybody knows there
never was more OF it in Virginia than when
the Mahoneites had control fthe election
machinery, when even the returns of whole
counties we're thrown out in order TO give
the certificate of election to Malone Con-
gresham, and that the worst cheating ever
done by the democrats was in Mr.. Brady 9
own district when General Malone was a
democrat and ran the democratic machine
there.

lot business in Virginia" Senator Riddle.
berger fought the battle for Goode alone
with the exception OF the weak assistance
of Senator Pugh. Mr.. Riddleberger spoke
for two hours, and at 6:l5, when the Senate
was worn out, Senator salisbury arose and
suggested that all wero tired Of hearing the
junior Senator from Virginia. This SO up.
set Mr.. Riidlcberger that he left the Sen.
ator chamber for few minutes to get q
fresh breath Of air. The Senate saw their
chance, and embraced it. While he WAS
gone it voted, and rejected Goode by
vote Of 2S to %. The true inwardneSs oithe
rejection is that the republicans are paying
back the democrats for their action Oil Gar
fields appointment for the same Office.
When William Z Chandler was appoint,d
solicitor general the democrats refused to
confirm him. Their excuse was that he
was poor lawyer, a brilliant man, bat the
sharpcst and most perfect politician in the
county. They were not going TO put him
in charge of the election marsha!s and the
national election machinery, thus giving
him immense power which he would
use. They said they would vote for
him for any other place but this. Now
the republicans have their turn. They
claim that Goods is the trickiest Of poIil-
clans. lie is nearest the Attorney Genera
and has charge of Uuited States marshaIs.
He has managed Virginia politics, and
those of the South, and the republicans
were not going to give him the same power
in the North, and thus aid in keeping their
party out This view is the true one, and
it account; for the rejection. There is
wild runner here that Hon. William
