Defect In the Delinquent Land Law.

February ~, 1892.
To Ne Editor of he Dsspatca:

IcUIubiy l%s Ao"Ss
To the Editor of he DssDatca:
wish to call the attention of our law
makers through your Influential columns
TO defect in the laws relating to the sale
of delinquent lands tor taxes" section
637, page 2l5. Code 1887.
The advertisement now required Is IN
sufficient. The posting at the front door
of the courthouse and at some public
place in each magisterial district OF the
county and publication in the county
newspaper does not reach the poor and
ignorant class. whose land is often sold.
They know nothing of the sale until the
purchaser comes to demand the possession
of their homes. know personally OF such
cases, aud the fact that they can redeem
the land in two years does not help the
matter. as the willy buyer. generally Keeps
quiet until the two years have expired.
Now. a simple remedy is to require the
notice to be posted on every tract thirty
DAYS before the SALE" and, my word for It.
not one sale in hundred would ever be
made. If it be objected the trouble to the
officer would be too great, the answer Is
that the officer is appointed for the pubic
good and not his own comfort. And, pc
aides, the charges the treasurer now makes
is enough to pay him and his deputies wen
for the trouble. Ihavenow before me an &C
connt Of is cents State tax. the only tax the
land can be sold for. and 81. so was charged
and paid to the treasurer; and another OF
81 cents State tax, and $2.A was charged
and paid TO the treasurer. This certainly
ought to pay for posting the land.
This change in the law 10 of more i'm
portance to the poor people than the set
Element of the State debt, and it concerns
us all, for when the homes Of this class
who are the victims OF our present sys-
tenn are sold, they become taxable TO the
county and have to be supported by the
overseers of the poor. Why not try the
change suggested? A CoUSTDLAwYzR.

A Candid Letter to President Tyler.

To ne Editor of NE Dispatca:
/ enclose O copy of letter written just
ifty wears ago by Major Charles Yancey,
of travellers Rest. Buckingham county.
Va. the "Old Wheel-Horse of Democracy"
as he was called. If you think it worth
the space, will be much obliged to you
If you will publish it.
BUCKINGHAM. Va, February IS, 1912.
His Ercetency President Tyler:
Dear Sir,-Permit me to introduce to
your notice MIR. Edward Boiling Cabell, of
Missouri. who. l presume, IS now in the
city of Washington, having left here few
DAYS since. Mr. Cabell seeks the office of
Register of the Land Office, which is con-
templated TO be established in what Is
called the plat country IN Missouri. /
think | can say he is man OF in
tegrity, which is hazarding much 10 say
III these days of great moral depravity.
You know the Cabell family and, l pre-
sumo. tho Boiling. his mother was sister
10 Powhatan and Senacous, and he mar
ned daughter Of Joseph j. Muproe. You
now have his heraldry, as / rate people
very much by their stock. as l do the
blooded horse. he IS honest. moral,
sober, and of business habits. IL you
cannot do better take him.
l most fervently thank you for your two
bank vetoes. but your good genius desert
ed YOU in recommending the government
bank, fashionably called the ELchequo
Bank. The term is foreign to our form OF
government, and do not use it.
The bank features of your project are so
hostile TO the principles Of old Virginia
Republican principles that the Democracy
of the country cannot sanction 1T. when
no measure short OF national bank VIII
ever satisfy the Wings that they treat 1t as
4 bastard.
Well. sir. you will say this is plain talk.
II IA, however, frank and sincere and with
kind feelings and if every man filling the
high station you do we're so addressed IT
would add to the popularity of their adj
ministrations and result in much good to
the country. L verify think the Wings
have treated you with gross injustice In the
charges of treachery and perfidy on account
of your bank vetoes, which were prompted
by Judgment and conscience, based upon
principles and opinions uttered and ex-
pressed by votes and speeches IN the SEES
SION of 1870. The boot Is on the other
leg. 1t is the Wings guilty OF treachery
and pertdy in denying throughout the
presidential canvass that a national bank
was their object, when 1t is now seen that
that measure was their idol. Inc oider
you grow the less regard you will entertain
Tor the moral and political honesty OF your
feliow-man.
Patriotism has hed the land, and sordid
interest now wears the sceptre.
| am putting up ice, and am happier
man than you, the President OF the United
States, the most exalted Office In the world.
Come back. come back, your father BE-
longed to the Democratic church.
Very respectfully yours.

A MOURNING CREATION.

There is a certain dressiness about
mourning costume as it IS now worn: IL
is undoubtedly true that most of our lash
ionable women would gladly forego the
wearing of mourning at all since the Gus
tom is altogether an artificial one, and the
outward weeds cannot by any be con-
sidered rs an accurate indication OF the
inward grief. However. conventionality
and Mrs. Grundy demand mourning
dress in cases of bereavement. and women
of fashionable tastes make the best OF the
situation by wearing the most becoming
apparel permissible. Here Is brief des-
cription of one recent creation
The dress was black Henrietta cloth-a
silk-warp Henrietta. The waist was In the
prevailing coat shape with very deep bands

revers and waisteoat consisting OF CLOSE
diagonal plaitings Of Grape. The skirt was
