THE RICHMOND Dispatch says the Wash
iDgton correspondent of the GAZETTE wrote
d recent paragraph in order to excite prelu-
dice against Mr. Randall. Now if the GA
zErrE knows it's Washington correspondent,
aud it thinks it does, nothing could be more
erroneous than this statement OF the DIS
patch The correspondent does not, to be
sure, agree with Mr.. Randall on the subject
of the tariff, but he does on most all other
subjects, and even in respect of the particu-
lar one referred to, he admires him for the
boldness and Independence with which be
advocates the views be professesto hold. A
manly support of wrong principles is less in
furious than timorous, time serving and
calculating advocacv of those that are right.

Pending in the State Senate is bill intended
to secure the return to the Westers Union Tclc-
graph Company Of a certain sum of money
collected by the State as tax upon the COM
panys property. DIR. Norvin Green's state
mcnts before the Senate judiciary Committee.
statements which are not, we believe, disputed,
make it appear that this money does not prop
crly belong TO the State. Under the law taxing
corporations the company was compelled to pay
taxes upon the whole of its capital stock, in
stead Of upon that proportion which is repre-
scented by its property held and used within this
State. Subsequently the Legislature, rccog-
nizing the improperly Of taxing property out
side Of its Jurisdiction passed law limiting
such taxes in accordance with its limited,
authority and applied this principle retro
actively for the years 1852. 1853 and 1854.
Why the remission should have extended to
these years only. since under the abr0gated
law the tax had been collected in 1880 and
1881, does not clearly appear. 10 it was proper
to make rebate ut all, and that course seems
to have been Just. all the reasons which i'm
PEELED the Legislature TO return the taxes for
the three years apply with equal force to the
whole five. The people Of this State can afford
to deal justly with the corporations, and desire
to take from them only that portion Of the
common burden which they should properly
hear. The company's claim should be care
fully heard and il the facts it presents are not
relutcd it should receive the award il asks.

no provision is made for decision in case OF
a failure Of the Mayors to agree. A board Of

bill is that which makes expenditures for the
