Be Consistent.

The Boston Herald says that upon
mature consideration it is unable to
support the BLAIR bill giving ma
tional aid to education in the several
States in the ratio Of illiteracy," and
adds:
"This is getting to be great coun-
try. The only safety in a republic so
vast is the strength of the local and
The limitation Of the national Govern
ment.'
We are sorry 20 see that the Herald
has changed front upon the question Of
national aid to education. However,
there may be compensation for the
change. In order to be consistent it
should now train its guns upon the re-
cent decisions Of the United States Sa-
preme Court in the Virginia coupon
cases. Surely those decisions are much
more at war with the principle laid
down by the Herald than would be the
passage Of the BLAIR bill.

The Other side.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch

TO the EdHor OF the UiSpdtch
The very incorporate article in the
Dispatch Of to-day February 24th) re-
veals the chief danger now threatening
the cause Of temperance, which is far
more frequently wounded in the house
of its friends =" than injured by the as
saults Of its enemies.
If the members Of the legislature
fail to agree upon judicious local-op-
ton bill it will be on account Of the dif-
6culties and distractions thrown in
their way by such fanatical zealots. 1t
is evident that large majority of both
houses are anxious to pass such bill
RS shall reflect the sentiments Of the
mass Of the people, and it is but jdst
that each community should decide for
itself the question Of local option. If
the advocates Of temperance are in
earnest they will not complain Of the
hardship OF getting enough signatures
to their petitions to authorize the Judge
to order an election. If so many sig
natures cannot be obtained, the very
fact Of their inability to do so clearly
proves that noelectiOn ought to be held.
The threat with which this reverend
gentleman concludes his remarkable
production, taken in connection with the
fact that be was in party utilization with
the Readjusters in the days of their
ascsndsncy in Virginia, goes far to con-
firm suspicion that zeal for the cause
Of temperance Is not the only sentiment
which SO excites his spleen against the
Democratic members OF the Senate.
Ny apology for this communication
is found in the fact that Mr.. Chsathsm
has more than once attempted to thrust
his matter into politics, and that, too,
!. time when the Democrats were en-

Accommodated.

Recently Major JED. HoTCHKIss
delivered in Boston lecture upon the
battle of Shsrpsburg, in which he told
some pretty plain truths in regard to
General BANKS. The lecture was well
received by the Boston people, but one
Of the papers Of that city stated that
they would prefer that the shortcomings
Of the Federal commanders be criti-
cized by their own people. The Bos-
tonese have been accommodated.
Thursday Colonel THEODORE A.
DODGE, who is native there and
to the manner born, lectured in the
Hub on Charlottesville. Colonel
DODGE, we are informed, served gal
lantly on the Federal side, lost leg at
Gettysburg, and is now on the retired
list Of the army. The lecture not only
handles some Of the Federal generals
without gloves, but speaks Of LEE.
JACKSON, and JEB. STUART in the
highest terms. JACKSON, it says, was
" the most able lieutenant Of our civil
war" OF JACKsoN's men it says
"They were the best infantry in exist
ence." In view Of these two lectures,
ought not the BLAINEs, the LOGANs,
the BoUTELLEs, the SHERMANs, and
the rest of the noble army of political
patriots to realize that the war is over:

A Card from Colonel Penn.

ROANOKE, VA, Feb. %, 1886.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Dear Sir,-In your daily Of this date
you publish in legislative proceedings q
personal explanation made by Mr.. Sta
Piles, member of the Senate from Henry
county. AS the explanation was Of
sufficient importance to justify its in
sertion, it would seem proper that the
circular-letter which l addressed to the
Senate should also have been pub
lished. In fact, there was nothing
else to explain. herewith enclose it,
and ask that you will do me the justice
to publish it also. And through this
medium let me say to Mr.. Staples that
If he has received letters from one half
the number Of constituents protesting
against the proposed change in the time
for holding the courts IS are repre-
sented by my clients whose names ap-
pear on the docket Of the Circuit Court

of Patrick, and they are also his con-
stituents. be might claim, with some
degree Of plausibility at least, to
be representing his constituents.
Again I would ask him IL
the attention Of any Of the par
ties who have written to him has
been called to the circumstances under
which the present enactment was passed,
or 10 the reasons which influenced me
70 ask for r change? Mr.. Staples was
perfectly familiar with those reasons.
| doubt il single one Of his CORE
spondents was at all so, except Judge
White, who must presume had lost
sight of the facts when he wrote his
letter. In the hurry Of writing my
=" circular" one inaccuracy occurred.
I said all the attorneys practiclng In
Henry and Patrick, except Mr.. Staples,
have expressed willingness to aid me
in the matter. The exception should
not have been made. The bill pre-
pared and sent to the House of Dele
gates was copied from q schedule OF
courts agreed upon after consultation
with the bar of Henry, Patrick, and
several from Franklin. This copy
which | now have is in the handwriting
of Mr.. Staples, and he and Mr.. Ander-
son. the law-partner Of Judge Whittle,
told me no objection would be made in
the Henry bar.
As to my unwarrantable interference
in a circuit in which | do not live, L
was not before informed that the license
to practice law extended only to the
limits Of any particular circuit.
He is gracious enough to pardon my
presumption in even daring to petition
a grave body Of senator's to relieve me
Of what some might regard hardship,
upon the assumption that | have for
gotten that | am not THE SENATOR
FROM HENRY AND PATRICK. No, |
have not forgotten it. | am not and
never have been the senator from that
highly intelligent district. One j. 7.
StOvall beat me out of that honor seve-
raj ears ago, but ] do not think that if
I ever had held so exalted position
that my selfimportance would have
been so overweening as to make me for
get that the humblest citizen is entitled
to some consideration from those who
occupy high places. "Upon what meat
doth this our CTsar feed that he has
grown so great?" JOHN E. PENN.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1886-02-28

Supreme Court decisions, induces me
TO offer some thoughts upon the sub
ject to go along with the many others
appearing daily in your paper. The
situstion is, 10 say the least OF il, a
grave one, and puts the craftsmanship
of our State authorities to a severe
test. God grant they may be equal to
the occasion must, ] am sure, be the
prsyer Of every true and loyal son
Of Virginia for the old mother already
has land | fear must still moro have)
cause to cry out in her distress with old
Lear: "How sharper than serpent's
tooth it is TO have thankless child"
The State should not stoop to dickcr
with bondholders, their attorneys, syn
dicaies, OF any Of that ilk. Let the Le-
gislsturc issue an address to the people
ofthe State explaining the situation fully
and fairly, and appeal to them to pay
their taxes in money, aud make
some arrangement to prevent col
lectiDg officers from buying up
coupons with the money they collect;
make the passing Of spurious coupon
TO the State punishable by a fine OF
$1,000 and confinement in the peniten-
tisry not less than ten years-either or
both at the discretion Of the jury;
create board of three persons whose
duty it shall be TO examine every cou-
pom brought to the Treasury and cause
hate ct al ,f he II
coupon to be considered evidence of
the fact. This, think, would make
some people a little nervous about
handling the things. Require every
person offering one to endorse it. Then
make law to the effect that every cou-
pom passed to the State shall be deducted
from the principal amount of the bond
from which it was cut. This is already
a law.-Editor Dispatch.l In view Of
the fact that the Supreme Court of the
United States has seen fit to decide
upon a matter about which it had no
more right to decide than it would a
point in controversy between England
and France it becomes the duty of
Virginia to defend herself against the
consequences of that decision by every
legal means it can employ, both ordi-
nary and extraordinary.
Keep this fight up until after the next
presidential election anyhow, and let
this decision have its weight in the can
yass. Long years ago some of the
States Of the Union acted in this way
with regard to the famous bred Scott
decision, and although they did not null
lily or rebel or make war upon the
Government, they nevertheless, through
the force of public sentiment and OBJ
structiye measures adopted by their
Legislatures, rendered the law practi-
cslly useless. AS to tho West Virginia
part Of the debt Virginia should
never say another word about
it until she is approached By
West Virginia upon the subject.
This State has had her say about it,
and should stick to it until death or
