Wholesome Southern Sentiment.
fWashington Post.l

While the attempt % work up boycott
sentiment throughout the southern States
did not have the effect its originatOrs III
tended, the results of the agitation cannot
be otherwise than beneficial 10 the whole
country. The response of the southern
people to the proposition was of such
nature as 20 confirm much that has been
said concerning the improved sentiment
which exists in that section. There wa
time when such a call would have had the
effect of working harm TO both sections,
but the prompt manner in which the busi-
ness-men of the southern States put the
seal of condemnation on the proposed boy
colt aud announced their intention 10 APP

North TO use their influence against the
obnoxious legislation now pending in Con-
grcss. cannot help but to more closely ce-
ment the business interests Of the two Sec
tions and have most wholesome effect in
every respect.
Outside of strict business channels the
agitation Of the boycott idea has placed
me South in possession OF Information 10y
which il should profit. The intense feel
ing against the force bill. no doubt.
prompted many people TO look with favor
on the proposed boycott when the plan
was first proposed. 1t appeared to furnish
weapon by which the dangerous legisla-
fore the temptation TO employ 1t was
strong. In such an emergency the South
could but turn to her public men for adj
vice. This was the natural and proper
thing TO do. aud TO the credit of the over
wheiming majority of the southern leaders
il can be said that their counsel was of o
sensible and patriotic nature, On the
other hand. the readiness with which IL was
accepted by the southern people Is to then
everlasting credit.
The south ought to profit 10y the expert
ence of last week, for the reason that it has
pointed out to the people the unsafe lead
ers among them. On the other hand It's
public men who are able TO deal speedily
and periodically with such Questions stand
out in striking contrast to those who
counselled dangerous and un-American
methods. Men may preach the obliteration
of sectional lines and thus gain regulations
for fairness aud patriotism. but there Is no
fairer. test of their sincerity than to sud
denly bring them face to face with nm i'm
portant public question in which these
principles are involved and then study
Their actions. The South has had the bene-
tit of such y study. II her people are as
wise as the Post believes them to be they
will hasten to take advantage of it and re-
tire an those leaders who pander to delna-
Roeic and unsafe sentiment.

he speaks for any considerable number OF

Seeming Status of the Force Bill.

Among the best-informed people in
Washington and Richmond there is diver
sitv of opinion ms 70 whether the force bill
will pass the Senate. No one knows what
will be its fate. All Is conjecture. The
Rrrp Republicans are sanguine; the De-
mocrats are yigilant and distrustful, while
q few Republican senators are indifferent.
To our mind the action Of the caucus
night before last in determining upon ex-
traordinarily long Senate sessions was
equivalent TO clearing the deck To bring
on the bill. which Is at present with the
Ropublican members of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. by whom 1t
has been amended in important particu-
lars.
The Washington Post, however. saws that
House leaders declare If the Senate does
materially alter the measure, the House
Will restore it to it's original shape" and
that after conference the Senate VIII
yield. q,
The revised bill has been printed and
distributed among the Republican sena-
tors tor the purpose Of eliciting their COM
ment and suggestions. In this way the
status of each senator Of the majority
party will become known, and. where pos
sible. objections raised will be met by con-
ciliatory amendments.
As for the rule limiting debate, IN no
event will that be pressed by the caucus
committee until 1.-THE Democrats have
manifested a purpose to flibuster.' There
Is. however, evidence that the members OF
the two parties are gradually entering upon
n struggle Of endurance. The Republi-
cans have arranged to detail certain
number of senators to remain on duty at
the Capitol while the others take short va
cations within easy reach of telegraphic
summons.
1t seems TO be the purpose Of the Republi-
cans TO allow the Democrats to do all, or
nearly ali, the talking. When their "pa-
thence" is exhausted they will probably
bring forward and adopt the closure rule.
There is an opinion prevalent among them
that it would be better to do this in coD-
nection with the tariff bill, Then it will
be in operation and ready for use TO put
through the force bill.
The idea of reapportionment OF con-
yressional representation at this session
seems to have been abandoned. The CEN
sus returns will not be ready in time,

ScorTsvrLLE. Va, July 20, 1890.
The case Of Edward Moon Us. the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company in the
Circuit Court at PALMYRA, Fluvanna coun-
ty. was called to-day and postponed on ac-
count of illness in the family of one of
the leading counsel. This Is q suit of
considerable Importance TO the parties
interested as well as of general inter-
est to the public. 1t appears that when
the old James-Riyer and kanawha-Canal
Company was chartered about 'the year
1888 the right of way was granted to said
company for the purpose of canal only.
In 1850, | think. the Legislature of Nlr-
einia chartered the Richmond and Ale
ehany railroad. transferring all the rights
and franchises of the canal company 70
the said railroad company for certain con-
slderations.
BIO CLAIM.
Now il is held that when the canal ceased
10 exist the land occupied m its construc-
ton reverted TO its former owners, and IT
is upon this claim that suit for land
damages is brought by Mr.. Edward Moon,
through counsel. against the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company.
T. G. Moon. Esq, Of Scottsville, and
Daniel Harmon and George Perkins, Esqs.,
of Charlottesville, are counsel for the
plaintiff. while Thomas S. Martin. Esq, of
Scottsville; Petit d Leake. of Palmyra.
and ". W. Gordon, Esq. and Others OF
Richmond are counsel for the railroad
COMPANY.
The decision will involve upwards of a
million of dollars in damages along the en-
tire route of the old canal upon the tow
path of which the James-River division OF
the Chesapeake Ohio railway IS land and
now runs.
JAILED AGAIN.
The negro who SO brutally beat little
coored girl in his charge IN this county
some days since. and who was sentenced
therefore 10 jail for twelve months; an ac-
count of which was published in the DIS
patch, took an appeal TO the County Court
| and gave bail in the sum of 500. lie
since started on a run to escape further
| trouble, but his bondsman caught up WIN
HIM, and he is now confined IN jail.
LADY PHOTOGRAPHERS.
The absence of such an institution In
Scottsville has lmbued lady here, already
| in the millinery business, with the idea OF
opening photograph gallery in conIunc'
tion herewith. This u new departure
and when this lady shall have entered the
picture business she Will doubtless be the

ring the last fiscal year about $4,000 gross.

DEATH OF THE FORCE BILL.
Lodges Monstrosity Practically Killed In
the Republican Senate Caucus.

Senator Hoar wept tears of humiliation
Nnndav nirht. saws the Washington CORE
snondent of the New York H6'G8. He
pleaded IN vain for the immediate consld-
Grafton of the force bill. and used all his
powers of argument and pathos to BRING
his colleagues in the Republican senatorial
caucus TO his way of thinking. lie sai1
many changes had been made in the bill,
and more would be made to satisfy con
servative senator's. The hateful doml-
ciliary clause, the partisan jury commission
clause. the brutal bayonet clause would an
lie stricken out if only the Senate would
PASS something bearing the name OF an
election bill and carrying the Federal
power into the local affairs OF the southern
people.
KICKED PROM PILLAR TO POST.
But the election bill was kicked from pill
lar TO post by the friends of other mea-
s1lres. They treated the election blll rs an
entirely subsidiary measure. he mem
hers of the Finance Committee wanted the
torifT bill debated until it was passed, the
friends Of the river and harbor bill asked
TO have that considered. the advocates OF
n REORGANIZATION of the United States
courts urged that the subject be put on
the list. and some OF the western men
wanted the land forfeiture bill taken up.
The caucus was held TO determine theor
der of business and II was hnallv decided
that the tariff and the appropriation bills
shall have the right of way. Senator Al
drlch will move tomorrow that the Senate
meet daily nj 10 O'Clock for the purpose OF
considering the tariff bill. This Is tho
nearest the Senate will come to chsnge
of rules.
JEW 10 MOURN.
There was only about twenty-five OF the
fo1ty-seven Republican senators present,
and some of the strongest opponents OF
fine Federal election bill were absent.
Their presence was not needed 10 show
supreme indifference among most OF the
Republicans to Mr.. Lodges deformed pet
and their disposition to let it die the death
Of ipanition. 1t was admitted Tonight
that the tariff and the appropriation
bills would take five weeks. Then
possibly another caucus Will be called
10 decide whether the force bill shall
be taken up or some other pet measure Of
Republican senator. 1t will be too late
10 nus the election bill in force for the
autumn elections. and the majority Of the
senators will be eager to bring the session
to a close
The result of the caucus tonight con-
firms decisively the predictions made IN
these dispatches weeks ago-that the force
bill is dead To-night's proceedings
swathed it in It's grave clothes.
