AnnIher AccOnnt


TUscUMBIA, ALI, April Gone OF
the largest and most enthusiastic
Democratic conventions ever held in
this county met to-day. A full ticket
for county officers was nominated.
Gen. Joe Wheeler was indorsed in a
handsome set of reso utiOns, and the
Congressional delegation, which was
almost unanimous for him, as was the
meeting, was instructed to vote for
him as a unit in the convention.
Great interest in the generals behalf
has been recently aroused by efforts to
defeat him, and his friends now think
that his triumphant return to Con-
gress is assured.

THE VIRGINIA DEBT.
II Must he Settled Under the Terms
of the Riddle berger Hill.

RICHMOND, Va, April 6.-Gov. Lee
has issued proclamation, in accord.
ance with the request contained in
the Joint resolutions adopted at the
last session of the Genera Assembly,
declaring against any settlement OF
the State debt except under the terms
of the Riddleberger bill of 1882, and
asking citizens not TO harass the State
by presenting coupons in payment OF
taxes. The Governor appeals to all
citizens to stand by the terms of these
resolutions as the only way out of the
difficulty, and points out that if all
citizens were to insist on paying their
taxes in coupons the State would not
receive any money for several ears,
the treasury would become bankrupt,
and the courts, schools and charitable
institutions Of the State be closed.
TEST CASE.
Last week h. q. Jones, a CONNER
cial traveller from Philadelphia, who
had offered to pay his license tax with
State coupons which were refused,
was arrested for selling goods without
a license. His case came up for a
hearing before the Hastings Court of
this city. Counsel demurred to the
indictment that Jones was not liable
to prosecution because he had ten
dered Virginia coupons under the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court. After argument the court
sustained the demurrer, holding that
the accu ed had a right to 60 on with
his business without a license after
the tender OF the coupons and that
the prosecution could not be main
tanned. Jones was bailed and the case
will be taken to the Supreme Court of
Appeals of Virginia. Jones has sued
all the State officers having hand in
his arrest for unlawful and malicious
arrest, with damages at 100000.
