ST. PHILIPS BROTHERHOOD.
The Proposition 10 Disband Meets
With Strong Protest from
DIR. Armstrong.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch. J

lSptCldl ttleSTdun w tile
ATLANTA, GA, April I7.-An in
teresting meeting of st. Philips Bro
therhood was held last night. The
mention Of a proposition to disband the
Brotherhood met with an earnest pro-
test. Rev. j. 6. Armstrong said that
he was as much interested now in the
spiritual growth and prosperity Of st.
Philips as when heurged the organiza-
ton of the Brotherhood. He be-
lieved the Brotherhood would do
more toward preserving the uni
ty and integrity Of st. Philips
parish than any other power that could
be devised. He hoped that when they
adjourned it would be to adjourn with
the idea Of entering anew upon line
of life and action that will apply to the
helm of st. Philips church as she is
struggling with the waves a unity Of
strength, a unity of hearts, and
unity of hands of her male members
and friends, and by the blessing Of God
she will ride the waves VIGOROUSLY,
ard in the end she will sweep into the
haven where God would have her be.
DR.. Armstrong said that, as he had said
when he was suspended, he would do
all in his power to preserve the in
tegrity and unity Of st. Philips parish.
He would continue to do everything
consistent with his limitations and with
the respect and reverence that he owed
enthusiastically to his ecclesiastical
superiors. In accordance with my
position and these feelings SHALL" he
added, continue to do all in my power
to preserve the unity and integrity and
increase the strength Of st. Philips
church. The only way in which l see
that can do anything toward the ac-
complishment Of these ends is through
this Brotherhood. Whenever | can |
shall meet with it. will in every pos
sible way help it to accomplish the
ends which every member Of it
has in view. Man has reli-
gious appetite or hunger for strong
food. for common-sense religion, and
| it will be for this Brotherhood to widen
out that kind of religion and to help
in feeding our fellow-men with the kind
Of food that they so earnestly crave.
So far as l can shall help St. Phil
ip's Brotherhood for these ends"
Those who were present appeared
pleased at the prospect Of hearing DR..
Armstrong from time to time as q
member of the Brotherhood. The
meeting was adjourned until next We'd
nesday night.
Bishop Beckwith is now having the
evidence in the Armstrong trial pre-
pared for the printer. His lecture on
the Irish question will be given early
in May. Tickets to the amount OF
nearly 1000 have already been sold.

This city has an excellent Chamber

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
APRIL IL, 1886.
In the Hastings Court yesterday a
case was tried against colored society
known as the National Grand Club.
The book containing the constitution
and bylaws of the society was brought
into court, and in the constitution was
the following clause, " Section 20. No
one shall join this order who votes a
Democrat ticket or who does not vote at
all for his race--that is, the cOlored
race"
1t is said that the Danville and New
River Railroad Company will accept
the proposition Of the city to settle an
old account of interest-claims which
has hung fire for some time past.
The candidates have all decided to
submit their claims to the Democratic
primary. The primary will probably
be held about five days before the cleo
ton, and all candidates will be re-
quired to give their promise to abide
by the result. So far there are but
two candidates for mayor, but four
aspirants are offering for the position OF
commissioner of the revenue.
Danville will invite the Durham
people to build their railroad to this
city, instead of going to Lynchburg, and
connect with the Dsnville and North
western, which seems to be in fair
way to be built in the near future. The
advantages offered by Danville are that
Durham can reach this place by road
one half the length Of the proposed
road to Lynchburg, and that the Dan
vile and Northwestern will give more
direct connection with the western mar.
ksts than any road Lynchburg now has

Correspondence the Richmond Dispatch.l
LURAY, VA, April l6, 1886.
With the opening Of spring there has
been general revival of business here
in all branches of trade, and the out
look for the future is promising. The
growing wheat in this county never
looked better at this season Of the
year than at the present time,
and there is every prospect Of q
bountiful harvest. This is a cheering
prospect for our farmers, as last years
wheat and corn crops were almost total
failures in the greater portion of the
county.
The formation of building associa.
ton in Luray is being discussed,
and one will probably be organized
at an early day. 1t is thought that
such an organization would give an i'm
petus to the building boom in our town,
and consequently promote its prosperity
ana progress.
The Gem furnace at Mines, in this
county, which has been out of blast for
some weeks past undergoing certain re-
pairs, will commence operations again
in short time.
This weeks Page News contains a
notice from eighteen Of the prominent
businessmen and firms of this place
that they have pledged themselves not
to purchase goods of any wholesale
dealer who pays his taxes in coupons.
am glad to say that so far no cou-
pons have been offered in payment of
taxes in this county.
Judge Turner will open the spring
term of the Circuit Court here on Tues
day next. There is considerable bust
ness to be disposed Of. 7.

A Legal Pandora Jar.

One Of the immediate results Of at
tempting to force the payment OF the
North Carolina special-tax bonds Is q
suit brought by . citizen OF that
State in the Federal courts against the
!. Auditor Of the State" A Raleigh
correspondent says that this is the
first case Of the sort that has ever oc-
Cured in the State, and clearly intimstes
that it is inspired by the recent
decisions in the United States Supreme
Court in the Virginia coupon cases.
Thus II will be seen that the usurpation
of Mr.. STANLEY MATTHEWS and his
four asserting associates is bearing its
legitimate fruit. When the Supreme
Court, by holding that a suit against an
officer Of o State was not suit
against the State, opened q way
for the violation Of the eleventh
amendment to the constitutional opened
. Pandora jar, whence escaped in
Vulnerable evils in the way OF litiga-
ton. Virginia has been the first State
10 be cursed by these evils, but she will
not be the last. However, to carry the
Pandora parallel further, Hope did not
escape when the five judges re-
fused to disobey the mandate placed
upon them by the Constitution.
Hope remains in the jar in the form
that agitation may yet make the dis
senting opinion ofChief-Justice WAITE
and his three dissenting associates the
law of the land-in the form that some
of the evils that have been let loose
may be experienced in northern States.
When it comes to that Virginia
and North Carolina will not be
alone in lighting the battle for the in
teerity Of the Constitution and against
the usurpation of Federal courts
When the poison begins to be felt in
the North we shall expect to see such
{" State's-rights" Republican papers
as the Providence Journal on our side.
