fears that those laws are not so moulded

slble to cast on It the imputation that II

character OF our people is constituted OF
fibre very similar TO that OF the granite

ton. THIS will not remain our boast
II our laws sanction the repetition OF
fraud. Fraud and deceit are a canker

purest bosom. Tolerate 1t at all, and de-
moralization has set in. The steps that
lead from virtue 10 vice are short ana

well, gentlemen, II you thought deeply
upon this lesson.
q a certain disquiet pervades the public
mind regarding the relations existing be-
tween the people and the railroad cor
porations, and you will be asked, no
doubt to enact statutes that bear hardly
uTon them. If injustces exist they
should be corrected, OF course, but you
should be careful 10 bear in mind that
VirCinia's railroads are not Nirglnia's
enemies. a great part Of her pros
perity is due to them, and most
Of what she looks for in the future Is in
separately connected with their good or
bad fortune Her railroads pay into her
treasury annually 100000, and they pay
into the treasures Of her counties an
nually $685. more. This princely con-
tributlon to public expense entities them
to consideration when you are acting on
complaints against them.
And lastly, gentlemen, can you not do
something that will tend to end that
blot upon our escutcheon, resort to lynch
law? 1t ought not TO be said that in
the end Of the nineteenth century OF
Christs advent into the world, Virginians
are still practicing the barbarous methods
which He came TO condemn. Lynch law
is a foul stain upon our good name and
you should end it, at whatever cost
And now, gentlemen, with the assurance
that YOU shall have the best wishes and
the best aid that The Times can give
you, we bid you a temporary adieu.

His Reception by the President of Thai
Republic Notable Event.

Republic a Notable Event.
The New York Herald of Monday con-
tains a letter from Port Au Prince. Haiti,
giving an account Of the reception Of
Mr.. Henry NJ. Smythe, Of Tazewell coun-
~. in this State, the Minister to that
country.
THE most notable event Of this week, "
the cOrTt spondent writes, was the grand
reception with special audience, i'm the
national palace by President Hippolyte of
the new American Minister Resident and
Consul General, Henry NJ. Smythe, who
presented his letters accrediung him TO
the Haitian government
AT the same reception his predecessor.
S. Durham, presented his letters Of recall
Mr.. Smythe is a MISUNDERSTANDING per-
son, and he made most pleasant inn
preston OH all.
President Hippolyte's replies to the old
and the new ministers remarks were very
cordial. anG as he sped the parting guest
with graC eful words he welcomed the
coming With sympathetic and well-tmed
sentiments"
Mr.. Smythe then stepped TO the front
ana expressed himself In these terms:
in placing in your hands my creden-
tails calling me 10 reside at your govern
ment in the capacity Of a diplomatic and
consular representative of the United
States, [ remember that the expressions
contained in those credentials. in view OF
the constant use made Of them among
the powers Of the earth, may become
banate and conventional. but I'm order
that they may retain the real meaning
which is attached 10 them, l am 10 give
you the assurance that TO my knowledge
the people of the United States are ami
mated by the kndest and most fraternal
sentiments toward the government and
people OF Haiti. Do you not, then. see in
these expressions only a frank avowal of
regard That the executive power makes
Of free people TO the first chief of an.
other people equally free having both
that community Of interests resulting
from the proximity OF their respective
positions, OF the similarity Of their senti-
ments, OF the homogeneity Of their popu-
lauons, and OF their common aspirations
toward all that tends TO the well-belng Of
the public?
AS national prosperity results from the
intelligent employment Of material goods
and Of the exchange Of that which is pro-
duced by one people and which can be
necessary 10 another, I have the pleasure
10 give you the assurance that the only
special task which has been conhded 10

my government and 10 keep always ia

Veiop the commercial relations existing

Ana permit me TO say, Mr.. President
IN passing that | am harry to represent
nation which is so complete from the
point OF view Of its owl. territory that n
seeks neither by alliance nor conquest
any acquisition Of territory
she confines herself simply TO her ira

Now. l believe the planters are willing

Now, In this instance OF tariff on for

should be directly considered is revenue
These tobaccos are not necessarics, and

Many States, especially Florida, can
produce fair Cuban seed tobacco equal TO

so. Gadsden county, Fla. has long had a
high reputation. If there are parties who
must have imported tobacco (there might
be some excuse for fragrant Havana, none
for Sumatra,) they are able to pay for a
fancy luxury and let them continue to

Virginia and North Carolina have long
been at the head Of smoking tobacco. and

never take place if there was or should
be a low ad valorem duty on imported
cigars. If there should be free trade on

try is to be prohibited. let it be by direct

The black and white girl has thorough
~ established herself on our streets
and i'm our theatres and bathrooms. With
her black dress trimmed with white
MORE or black-yeiled white satin. and
her black satin hat with white ostrich
tins she may be seen going visiting or
shopping, or on her way TO an afternoon
tea. At the theatre she wears black
velvet trimmed with white lace. and a
jet bonnet with one or two tiny white
tips.
In the ballroom II is sometimes back
velvet and lace. and sometimes that black
and white striped silk watch was made
expressly for this girl I am talking about
II is in the ballroom that she appears in
highest development. For besides her
black and white gown, she wears black
and white slippers and black and white
hose. Sometimes she carries this love for
the combination beyond the line or vision,
and while you, of course, do not know II,
l will tell you the secret, that she has
black and white hose 10 wear with her
street costumes only the other day |
saw a young woman purchasing some
which had great big polka dots scattered
over the background. There were some
with small dots, but she seemed 10 pre-
fer the larger ones. This craze for black
has led many 10 choose dark cOlofs iOr
winter rather than the brilliant autumn
tints which had a somewhat feeting popu-
larity. Green in all shades is a very popu-
lar color. The dress which Is shown
above is olive green rough goods. Il has
a broad band Of sable around the bottom
and little points OF fur run up for a
little distance at intervals on the skirt
The bodice has a corsage Of black guipure'
which fastens on the side with a little
cascade and two choux. The upper sleeves
are very full The lower sleeves are or
lie guipure. over tie shoulders are
epaulettes Of fur. Those fur epaulettes
are the fad just now, but they have a
sim look, vtlch viii soon spell their pop
clarity.
