There seems to be popular misunder-
standing as to the debt question and the
political issue on it,
The Attorney General of the State ex-
presses very clearly in his letter, printed
in another column, the legal bearing OF
the question between the acts of the State
and the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court. q,
The fact, therefore, is established
that the tax-collectors cannot refuse TO
receive coupons for taxes without sacri-
ficing that much of the States revenue
for the people who offer coupons that are
refused will not only go tax free TINS year.
but they will keep the same coupons 10
offer next time, under the same condi-
tons.
We have cited long ago the instance OF
a lawyer who has been practising his pro-
fession for three years without paying a
license-tax, and all that he has to do Is to
make a formal tender of coupons, which
are refused.
The mistake we refer to in the popular
mind lies in misconception of the po-
litical part of the debt question.
The Democrats are persuaded into
belief that popular sentiment is dis
posed to condemn any person who pays
his taxes in coupons, when the popular
sentiment is organized on false idea
on the very extraordinary schedule of fig
ures published by the Auditor and on the
supposition that the people of Virginia
will agree to the policy of levying on a
door farmers horse at the pillow, while in
the cities the lawyers and brokers are al
lowed TO do the same thing and go unmo-
Tested
Really this thing is such farce that it
is amazing how it has been played so long
without being Missed.
If the authorities wish to appeal to the
people on patriotic grounds to pay in
money, so well and so good but to en-
force law in one place on one person
and not enforce it in another is absurdity
doubly whimsical, and a very doubtful
compliment to the popular intelligence.
In the name of the manhood and sense
that Virginians pride themselves on, let
us hear something more straightforward
than the policy. AS for the figures, they
are no more reasonable that the orders to
the tax-collectors.
Neither will bear the test of practical
trial.

Positively Shocking.

will seek the privacy of her bOudOir, stand be
hind the wardrobe door. elevate her pOlOnaise,

throw it into the blazing CRATE and watch its

Attorney-General Ayers has written a
letter TO the Auditor that has been given to
the public, in which, after explaining that
a taxpayer has the right under the law
of the land to offer the States coupons in
payment of his taxes, and thereafter to
refuse to pay anything else, he advises
the Auditor against instructing the treas
urers to levy upon such persons, as they,
the treasurers will certainly be mulcted
in damages and costs if they do. This is
ensible and wise. We,haye always felt
md known that the Attorney-General
vas man too conservative in his ideas,
md with too high respect for the dig
tity of his office, to allow it to be identi-
fed with what is nothing more nor less
than revolution and defiance of law.

THAT COUPON STORY.
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor OF The IlmeS'
THANKSGIVING, November u, 1880.
The letter in a recent number OF me De Us
match from this point, which claims that the
use of coupons in payment of taxes due in this
county and town had been prevented by the
refusal of the Rockingham Bank to handle
them. has occasioned a good deal OF amuse-
ment here. The fact is that a large number
have already been rendered here, and before
December lst there will be at least two or three
thousand dollars of them used. The sensible
and practical people of this section prove ny
their acts their determination not TO be bull
dozed" by a few partisan newspapers. The
leaders of the policy will be able to extract but
little consolation from the outcome here.
