per acre, which Is above the average Of
our land assessments. OF these fats
Colonel Mcdonald, of the United States
Fish Commission, in 1881, before the
passage Of the law, wrote
"The Hampton Flats furnished a
notable example Of q condition OF things
that is beginning to prevail extensively
in Virginia waters. Formerly they were
covered with natural growth Of oys-
tiers that had great reputation, and COM
handed high price in the markets.
They lay right at the doors of Hamp-
ton, and gave profitable employment to
her fishermen. Now these flats are ex-
hausted; and though possessing pro-
ductiye capacity Of nearly half mil
lion bushels annually under juiiciOus
planting, the law of the State prohibit
ing planting 'oyster-rocks keeps them
barren, when an annual income Of not
less than $4,000 is possible. There
are not now, nor is it likely there ever
will be again, any natural, wild oyster
growing there. Yet 300 acres Of fine
planting. ground at the very doors of
the oystermen are compelled to be idle
through short. sighted prejudice
These flats are but a speck in Nir-
ginia'S broad expanse Of waters. All
around these fats are other grounds
equally as well adapted to planting, un-
used, unoccupied, unremuneratiye, like
vast wilds or hidden mines, awaiting
the touchstone Of enterprise and de-
velopment. Capital dare not touch
them, for they once contained natural
oyster-beds, and the stare deciSis OF
the only Virginia court that ever passed
upon the question established the prin-
ciple that in law once an oyster-bed
always so. Only the Legislature can
divest them OF that character.
Now, in conclusion, If these unoccu-
pied grounds shall be opened to the
planter. there is no reason why a great
industry may not be built up, the reye-
nue. from oysters increased, and the
taxes Of which the tOngmen complain
as burdensomc relieved. Capital is
ready to make the experiment. Will
the Legislature take hold Of the subject
and give it an intelligent and thorough
investigation: REASON.

A writer for the Lynchburg Adrance,

from the Federal Constitution the fol-
lowing words
"The judicial power Of the United
States shall not be construed to extend
to any suit in law or equity, commenced
or prosecuted against one of the United
States by citizens Of another State, or
by citizens or subjects Of any foreign
State"
And then STANLEY" comments as
follows:
From which it will be seen by
these 'Strict cOnStructiOniStS,' these
patriots that rely so entirely upon the
letter of the law, that not one word is
said in it forbiddiDg suit in the Federal
courts against State by her own citi-
GEMS"
Stanley" must tread up" The
eleventh amendment does not forbid
suits in the Federal courts against a
State by her own citizens. And why
not? We answer, because the Consti.
tuition, as it came from the hands Of
its trainers, forbade such suits. Arti

What is at Stake?

WnuL ~ tDSahOs
The future Of the Democratic party
depends upon the success OF the Gene
raj Assembly in framing law to pro-
tect the State from the "cut-worms OF
the treasury" To advise the Legisla-
ture to provide for paying the debt or
for receiving the coupons into the trea-
sury in any other manner than that
proyided in the RIDDLEBERGER bill,
is to advise that body to do just
what it did in 1871 and again in 1917
and just what it was defeated in the
latter year for having done. There are
one hundred and twenty-eight thou
sand negro voters in Virginia who
will rally under the MALONE
standard whenever he chooses to
raise it, and who would do so whether
he might propose to pay all the State
debt or repudiate all of it. The Legls-
lature cannot stop tinkering with the
debt-question." 1t is bound to "tln'
ker" with it SO as to enforce the RID
pLEBERGER bill, or else see the Demo-
cratic party defeated again; and it is a
hard case that our legislators should be
denounced as - thinkers" by persons
who encouraged and advocated all the
tinkering" schemes which have been
resorted to by the General Assembly. II
there were a MALONE organ now pub
lished in Richmond, the Democrats who
talk about reopening the debt question,
instead of enforcing the RIDDLE
BERGER settlement, would perhaps
sing another tune" Read the Lynch
burg platform. Read the joint reSolu-
ton adopted by the last Legislature on
this subject. Recall the promises made
last year and the year before by our
stump-speakers, and then, if you think
proper to do so, rail at the Legislature
as body Of thinkers"
The Staunton indicator assumes
the true position, as follows;
1.-The United States Supreme Court
in its decision Monday of the Virginia
coupon cases decided no new principle,
and did not change the situation from
what it was under the Stanley Mat
thews decision. The State can just as
efectually block the creditors way as
il could before the decision. The law
TO demand the presentation Of the bond
with the coupons will soon be applied
and if that doesn't bar them enough
there are still other ways in Judge Sta
ples's opinion"
But the bondholders would nave you
believe that all these "other ways"
will be mere tinkering." They play
their role well. Their agents and
abettors are trying now, as they did in
April. 1885, to make the people of
Virginia believe that the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
either that the State must prove mega
tive or else that she is bound to receive
counterfeit coupons for taxes. Does
it stand to reason that the Supreme
Court of the United States has made
any such decision?-and that, too
after having decided in 1888, and again
in 1885, that the RIDDLEBERGER bill
was a constitutional measure, and after
having said in one Of the opinions of
Monday last that the act of January
Ia, 1882, is "a valid enactment "?
How could two decisions thus opposing
each other face to face stand in any
court

t. tie Editor IF the Dispatch
Iopposed Readjusterism solely on the
ground that any law interfering with
the receipt of coupons in payment Of
taxes would be contrary to the Federal
Constitution, and. therefore, the passage
of any statute intended TO have this effect
would be useless or have to be main
tanned by a course Of legislation which
would bring upon us the censure
lin my opinion deserved Of all
civilized States. took this ground
only from the fact that, unless our peo-
pie were convinced it was impossible,
they would insist upon a compulsory
settlement in the line with the Riddle
berger bill. They still demand that
the creditor shall be made to accept
and. myself for one, if | must 90 down
in the mud, am for getting to the
bottom as soon as possible, so that ! can
turn my attention to getting out again.
As one more step towards letting
the creditor know where he stands,
and as a matter of Justice to the state,
in view of the known fact that many
outstanding coupons are fraudulent, Why
not pass an act making tho possession
or attempting to utter q fraudulent
coupon punishable by fine and impri-
sonment analogous to the Federal law
in reference to counterfeit money-tine
not less than $1,000 nor more than
$4,000 and confinement in the peni-
Tertiary ten years; and in second act,
as it might not hold water. making the
possession Of the coupon by other than
the holder of the bond primG:f dcie evil
dence of guilt, inStructing State officers
to indict all persons known to have
such coupons in their possession:
Icannot say that any such laws ac-
cord with my ideas OF right, but it
seems that Yirginia's creditors have not
learned what President Johnson in hts
message, in 1869, gave them credit for
to.wit, " The lessons Of the past ad-
mOnish the lender that it is not well to
be oyer-anxious in eXacting from the
borrower rigid compliance with the let
ter Of the bond And, as before
stated, as our people demand it, sup
pose too must say.
