To the Editor of the Dispatch .

In the report of the proceedings OF the
House of Delegates on Saturday | am
made to appear as advocating the sboli-
ton of the "fifty-dollar exemption.
This is mistake. | only stated that
since / had been a member of the Legis-
lature laboringmen had approached me
and said that the law worked to a disad-
vantage in many cases. For instance,
when d man worked or railroad or
elsewhere and did not receive over $50
per month-and not paid of oftener
than once a month-he could get no
credit for even provisions needed by his
family. My suggestion was that the
bill be amended with view OF meeting
cases like this. Others desiring to sug-
gest amendments the bill was, by gene.
raj consent, passed by.

THE LIRBY DEED RECORDED.
A Number OF ChIcagOans Opposed to
the scheme.

The deed Of sale TO Libby Prlson was
put on record yesterday. The price
named is 1923, 300, of which the first
payment ($j, S25) has been made. W. II.
GRAY, of Chicago, is the buyer, and the
Southern Fertilizing Company Colonel
". II. Palmer president Is the seller.
A teIegraphic dispatch from Chicago
saws There is a great deal OF quiet dis
cussion going on in Chicago over the
proposed removal here from Richmond
OF the Libby-Prison building. 1t is
pretty nearly one-sided question, the
only difference of opinion observable
being as to the reasons against the re-
moval
"What do you think about the plan
to bring Libby Prison to Chicago 2" was
asked of Controller A. II. Burley.
81 think it would revive the sectional
feeling and prejudices. | do not think
that Chicago is going to be gamer, and
| have not seen in any paper a good rea-
son for bringing it here. D
Judge Tuley said 81 do not think 1t
a polite thing to do. As soon as We can
burn up those mementoes OF the war,
both North and South, the better it will
be for the good OF the country. 1t is
not advisable from any point of view to
keep alive any Of the worst memories OF
the war, such as Libby and Anderson
vile prisons.
United States Attorney ". G. Ewing ::
think that Libby Prison ought to have
been blown to atoms twenty-five years
ago. There can be no possible pubic
good result from bringing it here or
taking it anywhere. Architecturally 1t
is an abortion. and il would be a dis
grace from that point alone for any part
OF Chicago within eight miles of the
courthouse. Do you think anybody is
really seriously talking about it? The
only result of such a thing would be to
bankrupt the men who undertook it.
John b. Drake: think the whole
thing is absurd. 1t ought not to be done.
II is only a speculation and ought to be a
failure. 1t only keeps alive the sectional
feeling, and people of Richmond should
not allow it to be done and the people OF
Chicago should not do it.
Nj w. Il. Gray, the Chicago pur-
chaser of Libby, left here on the 6'25
Chesapeake and Ohio train yesterday
evening tor home.

The National Opera Company.

1t is a matter of general regret here
that the National Opera Company has
been compelled to disband at Washing
ton on account OF financial troubles.
During the sixteen weeks the troupe
has been ont Mr.. Locke, the manager,
aud his hackers have lost, they claim,
100000.
This troupe was to play return en-
gagement here on the 10th and 18th of
March, and all those who heard either
OF the three operas this month will be
sorry that they will not again have an
opportunity.
This failure is also great blow to the
cause OF music in this country. II proves
that such a mammoth travelling combi-
nation can only give opera at loss of
money, as is annually the case at the
Metropolitan IN New York.
II is TO be feared Richmond will not
soon see the like OF the National Opera
Company here again.

A PEDDLER DIScHARsED.
Judge Hughes Holds that a Coupon
Tender Pays the License.

At Norfolk yesterday Herman Cohn, a
German peddler. was before Judge
Hughes, of the United States Court, on
writ of hateGs corpus. Cohn was
charged with doing business without
license after a tender Of coupons. He
had been confined in jail in Richmond
county, and the petition for the
ha6eGs corpus writ alleged that
he had been confined illegally
and under an unconstitutional
law. The Commonwealth was repre-
sented by Mr.. Thomas II. Wilcox, Com
monweaith's attorney at Norfolk; the
prisoner by Mr.. a. g. Guigon. Of this
city. After hearing evidence and ergu-
ment of counsel the Court discharged
the prisoner.
Our Norfolk special says
"NORFoLK, VA, February 27.-Judge
Hughes in his decision said the prisoner
had rendered genuine coupons cut from
bonds of the State in payment for a
license to sell goods as peddler in the
State, and to whom a license, after his
making the tender. had been refused.
The Supreme Court of the United States
had pronounced such tender OF such
coupons a payment of the tax due from
the taxpayer, yet the prisoner had been
arrested, imprisoned, and indicted under
a State law which virtually made the
going on with business under such cir
cumstances an indictable offence.
"The Judge said further that the pri-
soner was a poor German boy without
friends and without money, who was una
bic to give bail for as small an amount ms
800, and ne had been lying in jailin Rich
mond county for several weeks. If con-
victed he would be unable from poverty
to carry his case up to higher State
court and thence to the Supreme Court
of the United States, and not to die
charge him would be a denial to him OF
his rights under the Constitution of the
United States in the event that the
County Court of Richmond county
should enforce the State law under which
he was indicted"
1t is understood in Richmond that
Cohn will at once institute suit fol
damages for the illegal confinement.
