his words as taken down by our own
reporter in Washington. and printed in
the Dispatch Of April %, 1885. He
said
"As we have seen, the coupon-holder
WHO HAS RENDERED GENUINE
COUPONS and has been refused, stands
on the same basis in this respect as II
he had rendered gold coin with ike
result"
Last year and this year, and pre-
vicusly, the Supreme Court oil the
United States has held the act Of Janu-
airy Ia, 1882, requiring the coupons to
be proved genuine, to be "a valid en-
actment."
Is it not clear, then, that TAYLoR's
plea was held to be insufficient only be-
cause it was not made in timer 1t is
hardly worth while to dispute about
this point, as the full opinion of the
Court will soon be published. But
certainly il the act Of January IA, 1882,
is ga valid enactment" then TAYLOR
would have gained his case if he had
truthfully pleaded on the first trial of
his case before Judge WEXFORD that
the coupons rendered by CHAFFIN had
never been proved to be genuine.

The Honest Figures

In making our big figures OF yester-
day. we were commenting upon SEN
tence in the New York Tribune, which
stated in effect that 9 honest " men and
States paid their debts. We were sur
prised yesterday to find that we had
omitted to quote that sentence.
In making our figures we included
the debt of West Virginia because the
/" honest " Tribune man holds Of course
that that is a part Of Virginia's debt.
We also ignored the funding under the
RIDDLEBERGE Err bill. These honest "
Tribune men Of course regard all that
funding as done under compulsion and
therefore a dishonest transaction so far
as the State is concerned.
The point we intended to make was
that as it was manifestly impossible for
Virginia to pay all or even half the debt
which it might be contended she "hon-
estly" owes, she was fully justifable
in taking advantage Of the only bank
rupt law of which she could avail her
self-namely, her right as State to fix
the amount she would pay, and her
right as a State to claim immunity
from lawsuits brought to compel her
to pay her debt.

a citizen OF such school district. The
schccl.tax is levied on all property, real
and personal, and all the capitation-tsx
goes to the public schools. A nom
resident pays on no personal property
and pays no capitstion tax; therefore
he is not on an equal footing with a
citizen, and should not have equal
privileges. But, in addition to this,
the citizen is taxed by the city on all
of his property for city purposes. A
large amount of this goes to the
school fund in order to run the schools
a longer period than the State funds
would run them. There is no burden
borne by the nonresident in this, save
perhaps a very small amount on his
real estate, and he should not enjoy the
privilege without paying for it. With
all due respect to the Solons OF the
Legislature, we do not hesitate to give
it as our opinion that the law on that
point, as it now stands, is the best we
have had and as good as we can adopt.
That law leaves it with the city school
boards to admit such nonresident
children on such terms as they may
think proper. Up to this time we have
heard of no board that has charged any
thing beyond reasonable fee.

Personal.

While delivering his lectures on
cheap living, Edward Atkinson, the
political economist, wears an eight-dol-
lar suit of clothes.
General Sherman will not leave St.
Louis until fall. when he expects to
take up his quarters at the Fifth-Ave-
nue. Hotel, New York.
The opposition to I" Saint-Saens' in
Germany continues as violent as ever.
The manager of the Royal Theatre at
Cassel has forbidden him to perform
there Victor Nessler's opera, Z" The
Trumpeter Of Sackingen," which was
produced in Vienna and made decided
hit in that city.
Judge Alexander W. Terrell, Of Aus
tin, Texas. ex-State senator and promi-
nently identified as an advocate and
promoter ofseveral important measures,
formally announces his candidacy for
United States senator to succeed Maxey.
Mr.. Terrell proposes to canvass the
State this fall. He is brilliant orator.
When Mr.. Randall was suffering from
the govt at Washington one day news
paper correspondent called at his COM
mittee-room for some information and
was cut short with a very abrupt reply.
The ex-Speaker, noticing the visitors
look of surprise at this unusual recep-
ton, asked him Have you any idea
how man feels when hehas the gOut:"
and added: a" He feels as though ten
thousand needles were piercing his feet
and legs in every direction and squirh-
ing about to find the tenderest places.

A Query.


The Constitution Of Virginia requires
the General Assembly to provide for
"a uniform system Of public free
schools" Is a bill requiring one or
more counties to educate the children
in other counties consistent with that
requirement?
Again The Constitution requires
that the school fund shall be applied
" for the equal benefit of all the people
of the State, the number Of children
between the ages Of five and twenty-one
years in each public free-school dis
trict being the basis of such divi-
sion." Would an act be constitutional
which should grant peculiar adyan-
tages to the children of property-hold-
ers? If not, the schools Of one county
or city cannot be opened by
law to the children Of any other
county or city unless they are
opened to all the children. If, then,
all the children in Henrico county are
to be legislated into the Richmond
public schools, and the City Council
has the power, as it undoubtedly has,
to revise and cut down the annual esti-
mates of the School Board, is it not
certain that such law would destroy
the public schools Of this city: How
could they be kept up? Would the
trustees feel justified in sending to the
Council estimates large enough to pro-
vide for the education of all the chill
dren whose parents would like to en-
ter them in the admirable public
schools here: The same question may
be asked as to Lynchburg, Danyille,
Stanton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Alex
andria, Fredericksburg, or any other

Let Justice be Done.

1t appears to us that the amendment
adopted by the Senate last Friday Sc
curing to taxpayers in cities and couu-
ties the right of public-school education
is radically wrong. 1t provides that if
O party owns any real estate in own,
city, or county, he shall have right to
send his children TO the school of that
town, city, or county, free Of charge,
though the party is not resident there
Of. The object Of the amendment seems
to be TO give parties living adjacent to
towns and cities the benefit Of the
schools Of the cities and towns with
out imposing upon them equal burdens
with the citizens thereof. In other
words, it is to give parties so situated
privileges for which they do not pay.
Merely owning real estate in town
does not place party on footing with

The Philadelphia Times continues to
pay its respects to Senator EDNUNDs.
1t says:
The kindly interest taken by Mr..
Edmunds and other gentle souls in a
non-partisan Administration is one of
the most touching things in recent poll
tics. Edmunds is so especially Jealous
for nom artisanship that he is disposed
10 keep on fighting the President.
Finding that he is not likely to have
support in defeating the Presidents
nominations, he is now anxious to get
the subject into an open session, so that
he can at least fire off speech or two.
When a sensible man gets bee in his
bonnet he does make a spectacle OF
himself for sure. Mr.. Edmunds, in his
effort to show that he is not a Mug
wump, is in fair way to show himself
the most pestilent and preposterous
nartisan in the whole Senate"
The Times fully explains what is al
the bottom Of EDMUNDs's zeal. How.
ever, our contemporary should not
shorten the rope too much. 1t should
remember that the sooner such men a:
EDMUNDs hang themselves the better
il will be for the country.

The Lynchburg Tobacco Association
and the Railroads.

The Lynchburg Grginian says At
a meeting of the Tobacco Association
Monday Major John II. Flood offered
the following resolutions
Resolred, That it is the opinion of
this Association that the Legislature Of
Virginia should pass a law requiring
every railroad in the State to keep its
chief office within the State and as
near the centre Of the State as circum-
stances will permit, and that they shall
not improperly discriminate against any
section or individual.
ReSolred, That it would be unwiSe
and unjust, in our opinion, either by
the establishment OF a commission OF
unlimited powers, or otherwise, to so
restrict the railroads that they cannot,
in the management Of their affairs, ex-
ercise the same judicious discretion
which is awarded to individuals and all
other corporations in the limits Of our
State.
ReSolred, That whilst we feel the
deepest interest in the welfare OF every
class Of our people, and especially in
the agricultural class, and will give
our influence and our means to forward
any just scheme for the improvement
of their condition and the upbuilding OF
our State, yet we do not agree with
some Of our friends that any of these
objects can be attained by the adoption
of a too rigid law for the government
Of railroads, upon which, all mus
agree, we are dependent for our devel
opment and improvement.
They were adopted, as was also
motion of Mr.. r. ii. L. Adams tina

sent to our representatives in the lie

Master Of the situation,
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the DiSpdtch
BY your courtesy | desire to say a
few words relative to the recent deci-
sions of the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the Virginia coupon
cases. need not say that these deci-
sions are surprise to Virginians, or
that the good citizens Of all the States
will profoundly regret their manifest
tendency to Capitalization of power,
an entire disregard Of the rights Of the
States. and the final distinctions Of
State sovereignty.
The point to which wish to call at
tention is simply this: Ultra and radi'
cal as these decisions are they still
leare Tirginia master Of the situation.
No court, so far as ] have ever been
able to learn, has or can deny the right
of the State to require those who pro-
pose to pay their taxes in papers pur-
porting to be coupons to prove that
those papers are genuine coupons.
Again 1t will not, for it cannot, be
denied that the State has the right to
require the best evidence which can be
offered to prove that coupons, or papers
purporting to be coupons, are genuine.
Again 1t being an established fact
that bonds and coupons have been both
stolen and counterfeted, the bonds
stolen before they were completed and
the coupons, which were complete, de-
tached from Them it necessarily fol-
lows that the best and only satisfactory
evidence of the genuineness of a coupon
is the bond to which it belongs with the
coupon still mdetdched.
1t is therefore evident that Virginia
is yet master Of the situation, and
that her citizens need have no serious
apprehensions upon the subject.
Very respectfully.

French Women OF Medical Fame,

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Eight feminine physicians are regular
practitioners in Paris, the most noted
of them being Madame Madeline Bres,
who was the first to take the degree Of
doctor Of medicine. This she received
through favor of the Empress Eugene,
who, during her husbands absence
at Chalons, opened the door to
the profession for Madame, de-
lighted at the establishment Of
so desirable precedent. DR.. Bres has
a large number Of patients Of both sexes,
many Of them distinguished. She writes
on by gienic subjects frequently and ably.
mingles in the best society, is bril-
liant talker on light or solid topics, and
is the salaried physician of the Theatre
Chatelet. Mademoiselle Verneuil's
speciality is disease, and several
others have had marked success with
nervous affections of their own sex.
