UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
Probable Deadlock to Obstruction to
Coupons.

Coupons.
Yesterday Judge Hughes, in the United
States Circuit Court, signed the following
rule Of practice for his court:
"In all actions of trespass and trespass
on the case hereafter brought against any
treasurer or other collector Of taxes, dues
or demands due the State Of Virginia for
levying upon and selling property after a
tender of the States coupons receivable
for such debts, dues and demands, no
process shall be issued in such action un-
i'll the plaintiff shall file with the clerk
Of this court the coupons and money
which were rendered in payment of the
tax, debt due or demand for which the
levy and sale were made, as recited in the
declaration; and the clerk shall at once
deposit the said coupons and money in
the First National Bank for safe-keeping,
so that the same may be forthcoming to
be used as evidence upon the trial, and
be thereafter disposed Of as the court
may direct"
This rule was adopted without argu-
ment by counsel, although Mr.. A. b.
GuigOn appeared on behalf of Mr. VIM.
l.. Royal to oppose it, and asked to be
heard, urging that the rule was unprece-
denied and extremely hurtful to his eli
ents. Mr.. Royal telegraphed yesterday
evening from Baltimore that Judge Bond
will allow him TO move to revoke this
rule if it had already been entered, and
it is understood that Judge Bond has tel
egraphed Judge Hughes requesting that
the rule be not entered.
1t is well known that Judge Bond has
refused TO make such a rule in these suits,
holding that the tender OF the coupons
,,ay the tax, and that if subsequent pay
? ent is enforced by levy and sale of a
80 payers property, the coupons belong
"a t"A he taxpayer. Judge Bond has stated
80 ~ the bench that the tender would be
liol sl city good although the coupons
PoIio borrowed in the presence of the
VIZ ing officer and after refusal, re-
I ,'oS to the lender in the presence of
The following telegram was also re-
ceived from Mr. Royal 1,5o.,n;,u Road
"Notifv members of inuellnily Doaru
that Judge Bond has signed o for h Se'rim !,
down motion for injunction III ", -
at Alexandra, January II, and auth 80 -
me to say that he expects nothing - Oe
done towards paying the judgments
until the motion is heard.
WILLIAM. l.. ROYAL"
This rfers to a suit for an injunction
to restrain the Indemnity Board from
paving judgments against themselves and
county treasurers for unlawful leyies after
tender of coupons out Of the State treas
ury. A copy of this telegram was served
on each member of the Indemnity Board,
and Mr.. Harmon, the State Treasurer,
and Mr. Ruffin, the Second Auditor,
openly expressed their determined pur-
pose to resist this order. Mr.. Rufiin
added that ii would but hasten their pay
ment of these judgments.
If this order is enforced, the members
of the Indemnity Board and the county
treasurers viii be personally responsible
for the amount of all such judgments
and costs.

The Chief of the Bureau Of Statistics
in answer to some questions relating to
wages and the increase of values fur
nishes some interesting facts as follows
In the census year the annual product
was 5000 per head, which means that the
whole capital and material of the country
did not exceed the production more than
twice and a half. The productive
capacity of the individual in any given
factory is two hundred per cent greater
than in 1860 Invention has reduced the
capital and increased the product, adj
vanctd wages and reduced the cost of la
Dor
The price of glassware, for instance,
mas immensely diminished. Ofcourse, the
demand has therefore increased, and the
wages are very much higher. 1t is stated
that Ia this country factory labor pro-
duces much more now than ir 1850; that
the iaborers are more highly paid, and
that at the same time their w ages w,l buy
them more, dollar for dollar, Of what they
consume than In 1860 or at any subse-
quent period.

CONGRESS-.

Congress adjourned yesterday to meet
again on 4th January. We b.iefy re-
viewed the work done yesterday, which
furnishes better record than usual.
Several important measures-the cleo
toral count bill, the Interstate com
merce bill, and the bill for land in sever
atty to Indians-haye been carried so far
that they are in conference between the
two houses two appropriation bills have
passed the House, and twomore are ready
and reported. The Senate has passed
bills to repeal the tenure of office act, and
TO receive the trade-dollar.
The Tariff bill is virtually out of the
way, and the remaining eight weeks of
the short session can be well employed
If the Democrats stand together in the
House, they can make good record, for
the treasury is full and there are many
ways to dispose of the surplus with wis

Dear Tines.
/ and mine have several times been
victimizcd by society correspondents, and
come 10 you for counsel
The sacredness and privacy Of the
household ! have always understood to
be a privilege guaranteed in civilized life !;
and the infringement of it (beipg against
delicacy) have looked on as a danger
hardly to be apprehended among genteel
people. The ways Of good society-so
far as they are identified with the making
and principles Of decency and good breed
ing-bind us all. But when they al
low the invasion of home-life,
and tend plainly to destroy
that modesty and simplicity which make
the glory of social intercourse they must
be resisted by all good people.

seems almost necessary for a parent to
exact from his host or guests a promise
that his children OF bis entertain

crimes and casualties.
And, though it might almost involve a
fight, one is tempted to ask, on the re-
ceipt Of an invitation, rs this a newspa-
per affair? Any reporters or society cor
respondents to be present.
Notoriety and publicity | know have
been in Virginia hitherto against the
taste Of the wcllbred; and | believe now

more suggestive of petroleum, licorice,
and lottery than accepted and approved

That is gloomy story of Emin Bey,
isolated for three years from his govern

by hostile natives, who tauuted him all

In the senate on February Sd, more petit

suffrage for women. The committee on
agriculture reported back senate bill No. 152
with the recommendation that it be indei-
nitely POSTPONED This bill would abolish
the office of state veterinarian. The recon-

table after considerable discussion, and the
bill was ordered printed. The committee

GARFIELD'S GRAVE.
Transfer of the Remains of the Late Mar
tyred President

Transfer of the Remains of the Late Mar
tyred President.
CLEVELAND, ONO, February 6.-Lake View
cemetery presented beautiful and pictur-
esque view this morning. Silent sentrics
were pacing back and forth in front of Gar
fields vault, and all was as silent as tho
tomb. Suddenly three conveyances appeared
on the scene which brought the handsome
bronze sarcophagus, undertaken and four
representatives of the press. No one else
was present but James r. Garfield, Leuten-
ant Edwards, and the soldiers stationed at
Garfield post.
The transfer of the remains of the late
President James A. Garfield has been under
consideration for some time, and the httle
gathering was for this purpose. The casket
that contained all that is mortal of the
martyred president rested in its usual posi-
ton in the vault, and its shellac-stained sidoe
presented natural appearance. Withsred
flowers were there, and evidences on every
hand showed that the illustrious dead
was rememberd by loving friends. Tho
casket was not opened, but quietly placed in
the sarcophagLs lder the directions of the
undertaken.
The outer covering was then hermetically
sealed and the remains were lost to mortal
view forever. The sarcophagus was then re-
turned to the vault where it will remain until
the handsome monument, which is to be
erected in memory of the honored dead is
completed. The sarcophagus is a work Of
art, and is the finest article of its kind evea
manufactured in this country.
It is of solid nronze metal handsomely
ornamented and weighs $50 pounds. The
top is partially oval and massive hands run
along the sides and ends, the entire sar-
cophagus rests on four lions feet, one Of
each corner, indicating strength. A hand

six by fifteen inches, designed by Tiffany,
and cannot be duplicated for 800. Ono
man was constantly employ ed for forty five
days in doing the chasing work. On each
end are lilies: oak leaves and acorns orna-
ment the projections in the center which
with lichens and calythinus entwined give
beautiful effect.
The tablet is symbolical of the dead presi-
dent, symbolizing IS it does the love Of
home, by ichens; love and mankind, BY
calythinus: purity, by lily; and courage BY
oak. The cost of the sarcophagus is 81, 900.

continued until the latter part of nexs June
