And the garments our loved ones used to weaf;
There are hands that are waved wnen the fairy

And sometimes hear through the turbulent

Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river YVES fair.

A Case IN Point.

We invite attention to the interesting
opinion Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States reproduced by us this
morning. II was read on the same day
on which the opinion of the same court
declaring that Coupon-Killer No. / was
a valid enactment was read. 1t was
concurred in by seven JUST 'es, in
GLIDING ChiefJustice WAITE, Justices
HARLAN and FIELD being the only
dissentients. 1t shows where the line
Of demsrcation between the powers Of
that court and the rights of State as
q State are drawn by that high tri-
bunal. 1t shows clearly that on
the day when the act of January IA,
1882, was pronounced law that did
not impair the obligation of any con-
tract, and therefore adjudged to be a
valid enactment, the Supreme Court of
the United States said in effect that
inasmuch as the suit before 1t ion.
piled q power in the Judiciary to CO.
cree q State, and as no such power ex-
listed. the judgment Of the court below
must be affirmed.
However, every member Of the Legis-
lature will read the opinion for himself.
We trust that there will be found in il
something that will assist the General
Assembly in framing bill to circum'
vent yirginia's enemies.

The Lee Monument.

A few days ago the Dispatch copied
from a Washington contemporary a
brief description of the model OF the
LEE monument which won the first
prize at the recent competitive exhibit
ton, and which, it is understood has
been accepted by the Lee Monument
Association. The successful sculptor
il Mr.. CHARLES ii. NIEHAus, whose
best example is said to be his GAR
FIELD statue. We now have before
us. photographs and drawings OF
Mr.. NIEHAUs's model Of the LEE
monument, but unfortunately his de-
scriptive pamphlet which accompanies
IL is mesgre as to details. The impress
sion We get Of the design, as whole,
however. is that it is ambitious both in
respect Of architectural and statuary
effects. Touching its artistic merits
as illustrated in the purely sculptural
part Of the work, we, of course,
have no facts upon which to base
an opinion except the sculptor's reputa-
ton, bis past achievements, and the
judgment of a committee of award
whose names are guarantee of artistic
taste and discrimination. Yet this much
can be said Mr.. NIEHAUs has a
grand opportunity before him. Sculptu-
raj and architectural art never essiyed
to embrace and perpetuate more than
the LEE monument is designed
to embrace and perpetuate, and if the
measure OF his success proves as great
as the hope the southern people enter
tain for it. bis triumph will be splendid
indeed. The site Marshall Park Sc
lected for the monument is peculiarly
adapted to the purpose. Nowhere could
a monument like that agreed upon be
placed to better advantage. 1t will
be seen from nearly every ap-
prosch to the city. Marshall Park
was, we understand, selected not only
on account Of this last mentioned fact
and because OF its elevation, but in
order that, other things considered, the
attractions of the city might not be
placed too close together. The WASH
INGToN monument on the Square is, it
is conceded, one Of the finest monu-
mental groups in the world, and it
was thought that it would not
do to have two imposing structures
near each other. Neither would gain
and both might lose by proximity. In
conclusion we would say that, now
that the LEE monument movement has
assumed such practical shape, it is
hoped that the public will come to the
support Of the Association in a man
ner that will make the memorial"
an accomplished fact in the near future.

Death OF MRS. COwardin.

W uis VI NhtuTuhy.
Yesterday afternoon at lao O'Clock
Mrs. Catherine Spotswood Cowardin de-
parted this life at the residence of her
husband, Mr.. Charles OBJ. Cowardin,
Junior editor of the Dispatch.
Her death was not unexpected, and d,
better still, was not feared by her. For
several months she was a sufferer, but
in all Of these days she bore with
Christian resignation the troubles Of the
sick-room.
Mrs. Cowardin will be missed, and
sincere mourning will be felt in many
homes when the news Of her death is
heard. Her bright and cheerful walk
in life won friends wherever she went.
and death could not in this community
have claimed a more shining mark.
Her devoted husband in this deep and
tender bereavement will receive that
sympathy which with its silver links
binds heart to heart and mind TO mind
in body and soul.

SUITS FOR DAMAoEs.--A paragraph
in one Of our exchanges says that II IN
any coupon suit IL should be proved
that the coupon was genuine, the officer
would have been naked trespasser in
levying, and liable to damages.
We have heard that threat repeatedly
during the last four years. We recog-
nize the very words in which it is
coucbed. But the people remember
that these damages must be assessed by
Virginia juries, and they are not at all
alarmed at the prospect; and knowing
that the collecting officer has the State
Treasury behind him, they will see to
it that no such officeris chosen who will
not do his duty. Read in another
column the excellent statement made
by the Supreme Court of the United
States Of the duties of State officer.
