FREE RAILROAD PASSES FOR
LEGISLATORS.

Commenting on the fact that the newly
opened Atlantic & Danville Railroad has
sent to each member Of the Virginia legisla-
ture an annual pass, the Richmond Times
makes this plain and true statement:
''There can be no doubt that they were sent
to the members of our legislature to concili-
ate their good will by laying those who would
take them under the easy obligation of trif-
ling favor conferred. And for any of the
members OF oar General assembly to be under
The slightest obligation to interests upon wA5eh

y IS beyond all question ndnaicaz to the aoeLtare
OF the general community. They are not only
the representatives, but they are also the guar
dams of the people. the upholders of their
Liberties, the defenders of their interests.
Custom palliates their own conduct in the
eyes OF men, concert on the part even of ma
jority in large assembly softens the signiG-
canoe of individual concurrence, but neither
custom nor unanimity of action can make
what is improper in itself, right, nor what is
essentially opposed to sound policy, correct %
The Nelson Examiner in concluding an
article complinenting Hon. H. St.. Geo.

says:
"It is an honorable distinction, and one
that his constituents should remember to his
credit. Not more than two OF three members
of the State legislature have earned a like
distinction.

EX-SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER.

In the death Of ex-U. S. Senator Riddle
berger at Woodstock last Friday morning,
closed one of the most picturesque political
careers in the annals of Virginia Always
honestly poor, wealth had nothing to do
with his meteor-like fight from the court
in the Senate of the United States. He
was a brilliant man with far more depth
than he received credit for; stump speak
er with hardly rival in Virginia for effec-
tiyeness with the people; an alertness in
debate that was phenomenal, and a magnet
ism that won the sympathy if not the judg-
ment Of the crowd. If he had not for lack
of opportunity mastered the curriculum q
d university he had mastered that other
and harder curriculum, the passing public
temper of his time and was thoroughly
familiar with it. AS man he was genial,
with warm and friendly pulsation of the
heart for his fellow men that drowned out
all malice, and we question if the grave
ever closed over form so active in poll
tics, at so exciting periods of a States his
tory, that left so little of political animos-
ity gathered around it. His winning quail
ties of heart made him friends among his pc
litical opponents land the faults he had, which
were faults of habit and not of character
never alienated them. And the LOVING and
devoted wife and children who mourn today
at Woodstock the loss of an affectionate
h Nd fo4I,
sympathy from the people of the State on
which past political differences will not cast
the slightest chill.

A GOOD SHOWING.

In another column we publish the official
report of President Alemong Of the Salem
Improvement Co., made to the stockholders
last week. MI. Allemong is well known in
Staunton as conservative business man
and successful one as well, and such report
from him will make a marked and favora-
BILE impression in this section for his COM
pany. The Salem Times-Register COM
menting On it, says:
The Armstrong and Palmer tracts having
been paid for in full, and the first payment
having been made to Captain Simmons, the
liabilities of the company are very small
President AllemOng made some Judiclous and
ence to the location OF new plants, and the
enlargement of existing industries, and stated
that the various industries actually located,
would give employment to between five hun
dred and eight hundred men; and that negoti-
atiOnS are in progress to secure number OF
other manufactures. In the next issue OF our
paper we shall publish list of Salem indus
tries with the number of hands to be employed
that will be source OF extreme gratlhcatl0n
to our people. If anything We're needed to
inspire further confidence than is now so gen
orally felt in the rapid growth of Salem, it
would be found in the large purchases of land
adjoining the town by various companies at
high prices, and especially the recent pur-
chase OF more than 800 acres Of land on the
south side of the Roanoke River, Opposite
the Improvement COmpany'S property, by
gentlemen we'll known throughout the State
as farseeing investors and successful business
men. The organization of company to build
a splendid hotel to cost at least $50, 900 is
another significant fact in our progress.

cies." This resolution is in the line Of argu-
ment advanced during the executive ses-
sion and at other times since the General
Assembly ret, that these nominations
should be ca-efrlly looked into before being
confirmed.
REPORTED TROUBLE ABOUT THE CON-
FORMATION OF TIE .APPoINTMENTs.
The Richmond correspondent of the Pc
tersburg Eeder-Appeal says Of the ap-
pointments
1t is said the appointments of Governor Nc
Kinney to the Boards of Visitors to the sever
al State institutions are not acceptable to some
OF the Senators. This branch OF the legisla-
ture has to confirm these appointments and it
is reported that there will be some spicy and
interesting talk when the matter comes up.
The objection seems to be that the Governor
did not consult with the members of the Gen
eral Assembly as to who should be appointed
Several Senators claim that men have been
appointed on some of the boards and credited
to their respective counties whom they have
never heard of before. 1t is said that a reso-
luton will be introduced in the Senate calling
On the Governor to give that body some infor-
nation about the appointees. The Senators
make no concealment OF their feelings in the
matter.
The Richmond correspondent of the Alex
andria Gazette, writing on the same sub
ject, says:
The nominations which Governor Mckinney
has sent to the Senate have not been confirmed
by that body, nor will there be any confirma-
ton right away. In his appointments the
Governor has not pleased Senators and quite a
number OF them are complaining among them
selves because they have not been consulted
in the appointments in accordance with the
time-honored custom. Then again, they do
not think the Governor distributed the APP
polntments he has made thus far SO as to give
representation to the various geographical
sections. The appointments | have reference
to are members of the Boards of Directors and
Boards of Visitors for State institutions. In
the list of the nominations made by the Gov
ernor are several colored men. Fauquier gets
one and Cumberland another. There are some
Senators whose democracy is of the WhiteSt
kind who declare that they will not vote to
confirm the appointment of any negro to an
Office Ill which the power to vote away the
money. appropriated to State institutions IS
given him by virtue of his Office, and if the
present law authorizes the appointment of
colored visitors to the Normal School at Pc
tersburg then it is likely that the law will be
repealed, OF an effort will at least be made in
that direction. The whole matter is a subject
which is much talked about at the Capitol and
| give it space here because it is a foundation
upon which is resting some very live political
gossip As an evidence of how warm some
Senators are over the appointments, in one
county a man has been nominated whose
name is unknown by the Senator representing
that county and that Senator has long been in
public life. The Republican Senators are not
have it from the mouth of one of them that at
the proper time he will prefer charges of en-
beZZiement against one OF the nominees who
is also Republican.

The United States Supreme Court on
Monday last, in a suit to recover from the
State of North Carolina, Indirectly, the
amount Of some interest she guaranteed
railroad bonds, decision was given for
the State. The decision was handed down
by Justice Bradley. In it occurs the TO-
lowing passage:
''The pledge given by the State may have
amounted to a mortgage, but it could amount
to nothing more, and if mortgage, it did not
place the mortgage in possession, and gave
him merely naked right to payment, which
must be asserted by him in court. But where
the mortgagor in possession is sovereign
State, no proceeding can be maintained. The
mortgages right against the State may be
just as good and valid i'll moral point OF
view as if it were against an individual. But
the State cannot be brought into court OF sued
by private party without its consent. 1t was
at first held by this court that under the con-
stitution of the United States State might be
sued by a citizen of another State, but the
eleventh amendment declared that the judic-
ial power OF the United States should not be
construed to extend to such suits 1t follows
therefore, that bill will not lie to effect a
foreclosure and sale or to obtain possession Of
property belonging to the State, and for the
very plain reason that the State is necessary
party, and cannot be sued"
The decision in the Georgia Cunningham
case is quoted as strikingly applicable to
the present case. Wherein does the prin-
ciple involved in this case differ from that
involved in the Virginia coupon cases now
before the same court? Does it lie in the
words ''in possession ?" Is not State Gin
possession" of every acre and every dollar
Of its citizens property for the purpose of
the payment of taxes to support the life of
that State? Is not money in thepocket
of citizen, as much in the possession Of the
State for the performances Of tax payment,
as if it were ten-acre lot Of public proper
ty belonging to, and in possession of, the
Commonwealth
