General Ayers in refusing to obey the
.mandatcsof the Federal judge was far
greater than one not conversant with pre-
yious decisions Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States would think. The pre-.
pouderance of opinion among three law
ycrs of the country was to the effect mat
tile Supreme Court would sustain the
Circuit Court and would refuse to grant
writ of haJeas corpus. Less than three
years previous the Supreme Court had
held in the Coupon case that suing
State officer was not suing the State and
fiat such officers we're not exempt from
being sued The outcome, however, JUS
tilted General Ayers in his cause. The
Supreme Court held that his arrest and
Imprisonment was unwarrantablc, and he
was discharged from custody.
This was the beginning Of the end. The
backbone OF the bondholders' cause was
broken by this one bold stand taken by
General Ayers. Had he obeyed the man
I dates ofthat Federal court, or had he lost
in the famous huJras corpus case, virginia
would still he tottering under the lncu-
bus of this immense unsettled debt. MS
hold, courageous action, however brought
fl,o londlolders TO their knees. They
1T once began to plead for terms. Virginia,
ever ready TO he just and honorable
turned no unheedIng ear to that plea; and
the result has been the final and satisfac-
tory adjustment Of question that had al
WAYS been the source Of unendinS trouble
and ANNOYANCE to this proud old Common
wealth.
No fair-mindcd men studying that epocl
in yirsinias history will ever gainsay Tho
assertion that it was the ability, manines'
and courage of Rufus A. Ayers that wa:
the main factor in bringing about tins
happy Issue of yirgina's trouble, and fol
that al one he is entitled TO the ever'ast'
ing gratitude of his fellow citizens.
This is the man whom his fellow-citi
zcns Of Wise county have asked the PEG
pie ofvirginia to select to the highest Office
within their power to bestow, appeal
ing not only to his record as an officer
the Commonwealth but to the purity ant
uprightness of his private life to prove
whether he measures up to that STANDARD
set up by the great Jefferson, who said the
first thing for people to do when calico
upon to support candidate for Office was
to PROFOUND the question, SIS he honest, il
he eapable?'
With abilityip almost every walk Of lli'
has General Ayers proven that he possess
es to prominent degree the qualifica
tons necessary to fit him for place
among that distinguished line of men who
from Patrick Henry to Phillip " Mchin
new have occupied the Gubernatorla
Chair of Virginia, and if it please the peo
ME to place him in that exalted position
his friends may rest aussured that he vii

The following extract is from letter
in the Baistol Courier of yesterday, from
its Washington county correspondent:
Wise county wants Ayers for Governor.
He is an exccllant man, a sound aud true !,
Democrat, from core toSriud, and woaid
make us Il Governor worthy OF Tue
"motler of States and statesmen. . About
a quarter of century ago, ne drove 4
wagon and hauled goods for old man
Elkanmah Gily, from Bristol to Big Stone
Gan. The roads were bad, the country mid
the times ditto, but he worked hard, made
enough money to get u legal schooling
and is now one Of our foremost men. he
worked his way up and deserves any honor
the people may give him. Success mas
not turned his head, but is level-headed
true hearted Democrat He would make
a strong canvass, a model Governor, ana
leave the chair with his party stronger III
the affections of the people. Many years
have elapsed since Southwest Virginia
had this August Office, and now that she
has good man for the place, she should
have it once more.
Lvnchhurg has Senator, Farmville,
forty or fifty miles away, has the Gov
crnor, and now why should not South
west Virginia have Governor and Sena-
TOR? With Rufe Ayers for Governor and
John Buchanan for Senator, tho State
would lie represented and Differed as in
ancient times, when there were giants in
those days. Let other sections of the
State name two ADLER or better or litter
men. DEMOCRAT.
