THE FEELING of the tax payers OF Viz

pense to which they are being put by the
State authorities in the matter OF suits
against the State for damages for leVies IN
cases in which coupons have been tendereo
for the payment of taxes, is manifesting 1t,
self in various quarters. The Clipper OF
Chase City, Mecklenburg county, gives ex'
preston to the feeling referred to by saying:
ut is plain that it is useless for the State
TO continue to butt against the United States
Courts and throw away good money IN suits
that it has no possible show OF winning"
The Richmond Reformer, on the same
subject, says:
IF the supposed managers of the dem
ocratic party choose to appeal to the people
for any reasons whatsoever not to pay taxes
in coupons it is merely question of judg-
ment, but when facts are suppressed or dis
torted, or when abuse is to be used to ac'
complish an object, it becomes very serl-
Gus question of responsibility to anybody
who fathers scheme of organized interior
ence with the rights of citizenship, and the
people OF this State will so decide. There

on the Virginia side. This site is recon-
