The Norfolk Ledger says Of the
BLAIR bill {:
"Tbe action which has heen had,
however, will kill the bill, and candor
compels us to say that whatever politi-
cal capital is to be gained thereby will
inure to the Republican party. 1t
would have been better to have amend
ed the bill which iha Senate passed, 80
as to have eliminated such features as
tended to permit Federal supervision
than to have virtually proposed q new
measure which can scarcely become .
law. By pursuing the latter course no
capital could have been made against
the Democratic party"
The Democrats in the House Of Rep
resentatives have certainly shown little
disposition to strengthen the hands Of
the Democratic Congressman from Vir-
einia. Those of these who are candi'
dates for reelection will be compelled
to meet upon every stump Republican,
candidates advocating the BLAIR bill
as it passed the Senate.
The Ledger speaks Of features of the
BLAIR bill tending to permit Federal
supervision. What features does our
Norfolk contemporary allude to9 Thai
bill provides in terms that separate
schools for whites and blacks shall not
be considered as inconsistent with the
requirement that the money appro'
priated by Congress shall be used fol
both whites and blacks.

ONANcocK, April 90, 1856.
The iury in the case Of L. w. Chill.
drey, charged with sssaulting A. Frank
Byrd. finally agreed on verdict Of
sl3. so and costs.
Among the cases decided at this term
of the County Court was that Of
white woman named Margaret Thorne,
charged with selling liquor contrary to
law. She was pronounced guilty, fined
slOO and costs, and sentenced to three
months in the county Jail. In pro-
nouncipg sentence Judge Garrison ex-
pressed his regret at having to inflict
the penalty of the law upon a poor
woman, especially when it was gen.
orally believed on fairly reliable au-
thority that similar violations Of the
law were committed with impunity in
all parts Of the county by men whom
neither poverty nor the fear of the
poor.house drove to such a course Of
life. The scene was an impressive one,
and the words Of the judge created q
profound impression, intimating as they
did that the grand jury could have
found many more fragrant violations
committed by men, who were better
subjects for judicial chastisement.
The local.option election takes place
in this district Saturday, the very day
on which the liquor.licenses expire. 1t
is probable that number of liquor
dealers will take out their licenses to-
day and tomorrow and take the
chances if prohibition is adopted. One
liquor-dealer living in the district above
here applied for liquor-licensc yester-
day, and rendered coupons in payment
thereof. This has created q panic
atao1g .As li1nor dealers here, and gone
far to counteract the advantage which
the great anti-prohibition victories in
Richmond and Lynchburg gave them in
the contest.
There is a growing disposition here
to use coupons for taxes, especially
among the followers of Malone. The
most prominent Mahoneite in this part
of the State told your correspondent
last Monday that he intended to use
coupons even il it cost him more to do
so than to pay in money. Others Of
the same political household are re-
ported to be talking in SINH
lar manner, which leads some
people to think that they have
gotten instructions from headquarters.
1t is now seen that it was a mistake to
postpone the coupon meeting from last
Monday to May court. Many persons
seem to be Indifferent and think that
the general use Of coupons will hasten
the entire reputation of the debt.
am sorry to have to record this state Of
affairs, but it is true. KALLIAs.
