Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch
DANvILLE, VA, August 2l.--Fox
Thomas robbed a colored man near
Chatham some time ago and was
chased 10 North Danvills, where he
was shot at by an officer. He was
afterwards arrested, but threw the Off
GER down, took q pistol from him, and
fed. A third attempt was made to ar
rest him, and he fred at tho officers
and escaped. To-day be WAS found in
a small house in the suburbs and the

The article Of the Portsmouth Enter

Lei lis REASON.

The editor Of the Providence Or. H.
Journal is no. free from the imperfec-
tons OF human nature. He considers
II entirely proper and becoming and
wise for northern people to do that
which in southern men would be
crime. Doubtless he will be surprised
TO find such a.charge brought against
him, but we have so much confidence
in his candor that We cannot but be-
lieve that he will, upon reflection, con.
fess our charge to be true.
The Supreme Court of the United
States decided year or two before the
war between the States began that in
The United States slaves were not
citizens. The northerE people denounced
the decision, and agitated the questions
involved in it until they had the Federal
Cons titution amended and the Supreme
Court of the United States 80 recon-
structed that that decision was re-
yersed. Was that right in the north
ern people? Then why may not Vir-
ginia agitate for reversal Of the de-
cision OF the same tribunal in her cou'
pom cases9
Some twelve or fifteen years ago the
Supreme Court Of the United States
rendered its first famous legal-tender
decision. This decision alarmed the
northern people. They agitated the
question, and General GRANT appoint.
cd two new justices of that tribunal,
whereupon that exalted court proceed
ed at once to reconsider its decision,
and, reconsidering, reversed it. Was
that right in the northern people !?
Then why may not Virginia agitste for
q reversal Of the decision Of the same
tribunal in her coupon cases?
We might cite other such cases but
those referred to are enough to show
that the Providence Journal does gross
injustice to the people Of Virginia in
assuming that they are engaged in revo-
lutionary proceedings, when in fact
they propose to do nothing that is not
allowable under the Constitution and
laws Of the United States. BY the
merest subterfuse, the Supreme Court
exercises jurisdiction in forbidden cases.
Surely If that tribunal can punish .
State through its officers without
violating the eleventh amendment, Vir-
ginia may well be justified in resorting
to Q countervailing subterfuge Of an
other kind. IL the eleventh amend
mcnt may be rendered null and void,
and q State may be sued exactly
rs shs cou'd be sued il the
amendment were not now part Of the
Federal Constitution, surely the Old
Dominion, following the example set
by this illustrious tribunal, may legis-
late so as, If possible, to render that
amendment Of force, and may also
SO legislate as to evsde the clause as to
the obligation Of contracts. Can the
United States evade the Constitution 10
Q matter concerning all the States, and
Virginia not be permitted to evade il
In small matter? Mind, We do moi
admit that Virgins evsdes the Federal
Constitution. We only say that the
United States Supreme Court certainly
does. And We ask our Providence
contemporary to tell us how State
could be reached except through bel
officers even il the Constitution should
be so altered as to provide that State
might be sued as persons areY

Thomas Moore, who has figured in the
Police Court OF this city OF late as a wife
beater. returned home to his residence, on
Arizona street, for the first time since he
broke out OF the city jail on the night Of
August 10th last. When Moore came home
night before last he began whipping his
wife, who was waiting on their little son
Johnny, who was lying there with a broken
leg. The two began fighting and tumbling
over the little one, until by his screams
Mrs, Powell, who lives next door, came in
and put u stop to the circus, when MOORE
left.
Swearing vengeance. Yesterday morning
the brute returned and commenced beating
her in a shameful manner, striking her and
throwing her on the bed on top OF the boy.
After which he took her by the hair OF the
head and pulled her on the floor where he
commenced stamping her to death which he
evidently would have accomplished only
