ALEX ANDRIA.
EVENING, NOVEMBER 81.

THE FOLLOWING, from the New York
World, the paper having the largest circu-
lation of any newspaper published in the
q. S. suggests any thing else than a salts
factory or hopeful view of the future of this
country; but no man with his eyes and ears
open, and with common sense enough to
understand the lessons they teach, can sim
cerely and conscientiously deny the truth
Of any single word of it.
Can Mr.. Baine's popularity be accounted
for on any other theory than that the pnblic
or at least the epubiican-standard of Off
cial honesty is not very high? Does it not
tend to prove that the average run of our
people admire the man who Stands by his
friends" and expects them to stand by him,
irres pectve OF O few dubious dcings and
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain? Il there not q good deaf of very
genuine admiration current for the mighty
smart chap who catches, reflects and
champions that vague consensus known as
public sentiment ?" No matter if such a
man be little wrong in his ways, pursuing
the profession Of politics with keen eye to
the main chance, and casting anchors to
the windward," do themass of people really
prefer him to an honest but egotis.ic person,
to cold, self centred, uugrateful man
whose head is turned by sudden prosperity,
who thinks ne is far better than his party,
and who keeps lis leaders at arms length
and considers it to be statesman part to
dictate TO the party rather than to "hurrah"
with il?

mands his coupons from him, to say that the
Individual who received the money from
him on levy was sn officer of the State,
and right liz the teeth his own solemn de-.
claration and tho decision of the court there
on, which stsres him in the face as res ad.
judicata, cay that he is estopped
by every principle OF sense law, justice and honor
from denying, when against his interest, what he
SO confidently and successfully asserted when for
bis interest. The hey presto"-now you see me,
and now you don't"-may mako a very amusing
farce; but when attempted amongst men of learn
ing and courts of justice is most detrimental and
wrong. The States right to recover rendered
coupons may be questioned and denied ad Hbitum
out of the forum, but surely no court which re-
spects the cause of justice law and ITSELF will ever
listen to the denial at its bar.

IN NORFOLK, up to this time, three thou.
sand dollars in coupons have been rendered
and refused for State taxes In Staunton
the demand for coupons to be rendered for
taxes is 80 great that the price of them
has advanced. From various other parts OF
the State intelligence is 10 the same effect.
All this is 80 much dead loss to the State,
which, the rel uiiators say, is too poor to
pay her homes: debts, for the tender of cou.
pons, though refused, is equivalent to the
payment Of the tax bill, aud the Same cou-
pons. just refused, have not ooly paid this
years tax bills, but, their owners shall not
dispose of them in the mean time, will also
pay the tax bills of next year. Had the
bonanolders proposition been accepted, all
these coupons would have been funded in
rev bonds, ard as there would have been
none of them outstanding, all the States
receipts would necessarily have been in
money.

The Campbell Divorce Case.

LONDON, Nov. 27.--Iu the action for d.
vorce brought by Lady Campbell against
Lord Colin Campbell, the plaintiffs counsel
closed her side of the case to-day. Lady
Miles was cross examined. She said she
was not aware that cabman bearing let.
ter from the Duke of Marlborough once enter
90 Lady Campbol's bedroom. A cabman
might, witness thought, have handed Lady
Campbell letter in doors instead of through
servant, and might have received from her
reply direct, because, under the circum.
stances il which she was placed, Lady
Campbell might have suspected her SER
wants, especially her husbands nurse, and
feared to entrust them with any correspon
dencs. At this point certain letters writ
ten by witness to the defendant were
produced and she was asked if thew
were hers. She said they were, and added
that when she wrote them she thought she
was writing TO man of honor and not to such
a person as Lord Campbell had turned out
to be sensation and that she still thought a
woman's letters should be considered so.
cred. Applause Mrs. Duffy, Lord Camp
BELLS nurse, Lady Miles continued, invented
the story that Lady Campbell had miscar.
ried. The invention was made to conceal
the real nature of Lady Campbel's attic.

Western Glass Company discharged all their

Cordova, the secretary and treasurer of the

this action in consequence of the drinking

so unreliable that the works could not he

pronounce the statement deliberate false
hood, and assert that tho real cause was the
employment OF apprentices to do mems
work, and that had the men not been dis
charged there would have been strike in
