Dangerous Game

II seems to be pretty generally con-
ceded that the decree of expulsion against
the French princes has strengthened the
hold Of the princes upon the affections
of the masses in France, and shown that
the republic is far from being upon q
solid basis. The princes are now in
much better position than ever be-
fore to plot against the republic
and be of service to the Powers that
may see that ii would be advisable to
have the empire reestablisbed. For
some time past it has been evident that
the French idea Of "more liberty - is
not at all popular with the neighbors
of France, and that some Of them
would be rather glad if some
thing would turn up that would
afford them an excuse for aiding in sup
pressing it. Germany especially has
shown signs that she would not be
aversc to a change in France, and that
she thinks distance lends enchantment
to republican views. This, together
with the fact that she regards France as
her hereditary enemy, is being brought
forward as evidence that the republic
is playing very dangerous game.

which would be especially valuable In

announces bis firm conviction that "Mr.

Grand Old Mans campaign for him."
Of course when 1t came TO that state

The tluvsrius Case" Much Ado About
Nothing"

-
Nothing"
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Your reply to "Justice OF Abe
marie" in the Dispatch Of this morning,
is triumphant and conclusive but is it
not time that all this discussion should
cease? Judges Lewis and Fauntleroy
concurred in the opinion in this case,
and Judges Lacy and Richardson con-
Cured in the results and the last
named promised from the bench to
"write out his views and file them with
the record" When this is done the
reasons of majority Of the judges will
be "stated in writing and preserved
with the record Of the CASE" The con-
stitutional provision, as you well say,
does not require that all the judges shall
concur in all the reasons for the judy
ment. fit did it would be stupendous
absurdity. The whole thing, therefore,
is a moot question, and the ears OF the
public should no longer be vexed with
its damned iteration"
Your correspondent is, no doubt, "as
widely known for his legal Attachments
and sound judgment " as you say he is,
but he makes an amusing slip when he
speaks of the Governors oyerruling the
decision of the Supreme Court of APP
peals. That excellent gentleman and
magistrate probably knows the limits
of his department Of the government
little better than that.
l have no word to say in this connec-
ton about the merits of this celebrated
case, but | have not great deal of pa
thence with these morbid sentiments
about "the ending Of human life -
the tremendous results 4" of the deci-
sion, &c. Another human life was
taken and there is a grave in Oak
wood and society in Virginia, and it is
too early yet to forget the existence of
the one or the interests of the other.

CluyeriHs's Case.
To the Editor of the Dispatch !:


By reference to the judgment Of az
firmance of the Supreme Court Of APP
peals in the Cluverius case it will be
seen that the court did exactly what
the Constitution requires. What does
the Constitution require? 1t says that
"when judgment or decree is re-
versed or affirmed by the Supreme
Court Of Appeals the reasons therefor
shall be stated in writing and preserved
with the records Of the case" Article
W., section 4. What did the court do +?
After hearing and fully considering the
case it entered its judgment in these
words-to wit: 1.-THE
court having maturely considered the
transcript of the record of the Judgment
aforesaid and the arguments Of counsel,
is of opinion, for reasons stated in ,crit-
ing and filed with the record, that there
is no error in the said judgment. Ii is,
therefore, considered that the same be
affirmed"
So it appears from the records OF the
court, over the signature Of its honora.
BILE president, that the court complied
fully with the above requirement Of the
Constitution.
The record is conclusive of this mat
ter and cannot be contradicted. 1t i'm
ports absolute verify. The authorities
are abundant on this point, aud so we'll
known to every lawyer that reference
to them is unnecessary. 1t is useless
TO say what the individual members of
the court stated from the bench-that
one concurred fully with Judge Faun-
leroy another dissented; and two
others concurred in the judgment, but
did not concur in the reasons given for
it given by Judge Fauntleroy in his
written opinion.
Whatever the court did is presumed
to be properly done, and the question
Of its propriety is not open to criti-
cism. Whether the reasons assigned by
the court are good or bad, the Judgment
stands, and the prisoner is without
remedy, unless he obtain . rehearing.
had the Court not given las it said it
did its reasons in writing it would have
disregarded the plain mandate of the
Constitution and incurred the penalty,
If any, of its violation without affecting
the validity Of its judgment.
Justice requires that every cause
be once fairly and impartially tried |;
butths public tranquility demands that,
having been once 30 tried, all litigation
Of that question and between those par
ties should be closed forever. vi

fCorrsspondence ofthe Richmond Dlspssen'l
PETERSBURG, June Is, 1886.
One or two Of tho prominent Repub-
licsn leaders In this city left for Wash
ipgton to-day to attend the conference
called by Senator Malone to consider
the approaching congressional campaign.
The tone of Republican sentiment here,
doubtless inspired by information from
headquarters" is TO the effect that a
most vigorous contest is to be made next
fall for congressman with the hope OF
gaining one or moro seats In the House
Of Representatives. Candidates will be
put up IN all the districts, and where
there is any hope at all Of success the
campaign will be pushed with that
vigor General Malone knows SO well
how to exert.
In this district matters have not suffi.
GENTLY crystsllized to form any opinion
as to the probable Republican nominee.
This depends greatly upon the course
to be pursued by the colored voters
who form the great body Of the Repub-
lican party. They may or may not il
sist upon the nomination of one OF their
own race as reward in part for their
constant adherence to Republican prin-
ciples. Professor John NJ. Langston
is credited with the saying that he came
here with the intention and desire OF
building up the Colored Normal Col
lege, but that ifhis people wish to send
him to Congress he will not decline.
1t is reported that the Republican
majority in the Council find some diff.
Guilty in apportioning out the offices
for the ensuing two years, by reason,
it is said, of the demands for greater
recognition at the hands of the colored
voters. 1t is intimated about the
streets that the demands OF the colored
people for office is greater than hereto
fore, and cover ground approaching
to something like equality in the seve-
raj departments, embracing even the
police. The whole tale will be un-
folded within the next few days.
1t is expected that within very short
time the work of building the no pas
sepger depot for the Norlolk 'n- West
ern Railroad Company, p lis city,
will be commenced. The public are
anxious to see this much-needed i'm
provement, as we'll as to enjoy greater
conveniences than they now have.
There have been vague rumors for
some time past of the establishment Of a
large cigarette factory here, but the
enterprise has not yet been started, and
it is feared it may not be for some while
to come.
The farmers throughout this section
report the finest crop Of spring oats this
season known for many years. Phe
crop, under q season altogether favor
able, is an immense one.
Mr.. Alexander Donnan, Jr., one Of
our most popular young citizens, and
we'll known in Richmond, is reported
as seriously i'll to-day.
The taking Of afiidavits in the matter
of the Fourth and Fifth Ward Council
contests is going on daily. 1t is de-
signed to take the affidavit of every
man who claims to have voted the Re-
publican ticket. 1t is claimed by some
persons that the motive of these con-
tests is a little deeper than the good
public knows. ROBIN ADAIR.

A Good Grass Yicld-The Advantages

CHASE CITY, VA, June 26, 1856.
1t is said that he who makes two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before is 9 public benefactor. The
adaptation Of the soil here TO the pro.
duction to all kinds of hay.msking
grass is now an established fact. Mr..
John E. Boyd, Of West Virginia, who
purchased large tract Of land here not
many years ago, has devoted special
attention to grass as crop. He has
about 100 acres well set in timothy,
clover, and orchard-grass. When be
came here he was told that grass would
not flourish, but his experience has de-
monstrated to the contrary. From
four acres he cut last week 1920
pounds Of hay, which he readily sold
for S66.45. He showed me timothy
five feet high With heads thirteen
inches long. He thinks it 9 more
profitable crop than tobacco, and his
clover is As fine this year as he ever
raw in the noted grass sections
. sewhere. In the preparation
Of the land be derived the
most valuable suggestions from

Farmers complain Of ths low prices
Of tobacco ill through the tobacco belt,
and imagine that evil timss have fallen
upon thsm. when everything indicates
that they must diminish their acreage
Of tobacco and 80 diversity their pro-
ducts and utilize oil the resources Of
their lands % to make their labor re-
munerstiyc. With grass you have fat
stock beef and butter plentiful, and
lands improved less labor is required,
expenses are curtailed, and "mar-
ket" always for your surplus produc-
lions.
The quantity of tsn.b.rk shipped
from here amounts to thousands Of
tons. Some men informed me that
they have sold the bark on the trees
standing in the woods for more than
the land would bring in market. They
sell the trees, from which the bark is
shipped, for stave-timber, and the land
remains to the owner.
The crop Of berries this year is
splendid. AS the dried blackberry
is always salable at good prices, en-
ployment and profit will be given to
many INDECENT women and children in
gathering. Fine fruit crop Of all kinds
promises an early and abundant yield.
The oat crop is said to be the finest
ever made in this section. While the
wheat will yield we'll in this particular
locality, hear from other portions OF
the county that the crop will not be an
average one.
Tobacco receipts continue large here,
and for good grades prices are we'll
maintained. There is no better loca-
ton for manufacturing than this place.
Material, labor, health, cheap living,
and ready transportation-all impor-
tant requisites-are presented here.
Land for building factories will be do
mated to parties who mean business
and desire to engage in manufacturing
here. Every kind Of tobacco, from
the common red lug and dark waxy
leaf to the sweet sun.cured and golden
wrappers, is obtainable here at all
times.
