virginia's Suit Against Tennessee.

Virginia \ sun Against ItiihtSSc''
The State of Virginia and the State
of Tennessee are parties to a suit of
which the argument consumed practi-
cally all the time of the L. 5. Supreme
Court Yesterday, Virginia seeking to Sc
cure large strip of land now within
the boundaries of Tennessee, but claim
ed by the Old Dominion TO be Il part of
its territory. The tract in question is Il
wedge-shaped strip of land stretching
across the northern border of Tenncs-
see, adjoining Virginia on the South.
1t is ll3 miles in length, , miles in
width nj its eastern and s miles in
width at its western extremity. The
country is most sparsely settled, but it
is in the line of the material develop
ment of southwestern Virginia and
eastern Tennessee. One of the towns
in dispute is Bristol. Tenn, which has
grown greatly in the last decade, and
enjoys two municipal governments &C
cording to the present boundary line
between Tennessee aud Virginia, the
main street separating the Tennessee

section. II Virginia should win the suit
the whole town would be part of its
territory. Acknowledgement Scott is
the principal representative of Virginia
before the court, and associated with
him are ex-Attorney-G General Ayres and
VIM. F. Rhea. Attorney-General q.
w. Picker represented the State of
Tennessee, with a. 5. Collier, Abram
L. Damoss and C. ]. st. John as his as
sociates. The claim OF Virginia TO this
territory is based on allegation that the
boundary she now contends for was re-
cognized by the State ofNorth Carolina
within the true line of division between
the two States. and that when North
Carolina coded what is now the State of
Tennessee to the United States and
Tennessee came into the Union, the
newly admitted State claimed and Sc
cured more territory than belonged TO it.
Tennessee asserts that the line as now
run is the true one.

rcnton T'irginidn, in speaking of the
late Captain A. d. Payne, who died in
that place carly yesterday morning
as mentioned in the GAZETTE of that
day, says:
After the war he recommended the
practice of law, for which he was well
qualified, and soon obtained a large
business, his clients being among the
wealthiest and beSt-to-do people of the
county. He married the daughter of
the late Robt. +. Scott, who with one
SON and four daughters survive him.
Capt. Payne, although lavish in ex-
nenditures, was successful in the ac-
emulation ofmoney, and leaves for
time yariously estimated from Sl25, 900
to $500. 900. His private life was posi-
lively faultless and, high as he was
held bv Others and as much as they
will miss him, their loss is nothing
compared 10 that which will be felt ID
his household. Capt. Payne was not a
member of any church, but he accept
ed all the essential tenets of christian
ity, and his prayer was that OF many
an honest man-"Lord l believe, help
thou mine unbelief.'

Let the Bill Be Passed.

Senator Gordon. Of Georgia, holds that
the southern people ought to be the most
earnest advocates OF the bin to repeal
the Sherman silveT-law. In an open letter
the Senator gives his reasons for enter
tanning that opinion. We quote:
81. because the very first demand Of our
platform was repeal-'speedy' repeal. 2.
because nothing short OF speedy repeal
could allay the alarm, restore some de
gree OF confidence check panic. and pre-
vent widespread bankruptcy. 3. Because
repeal was the first step toward perma
nent relief for the people. 4. Because the
use Of both metals on equal footing Is I'M
possible SO long as the Sherman law Is
IN force 5. Because that law, rightfully
or wrongfully, had so frightened men with
money 10 lend as 20 induce them TO with
draw II and hide It. g. Because that law
dragged down the price Of silver by con-
yerting II from standard money TO mere
commodity. with its value measured 10y
gold coin. Z Because that law had
brought ny practically to monometallism.
The Withdrawing and holding Of money
spoken OF ny pthat"i NN'''N'
name for boarding IT, and thus rendering
II useless-may safely be laid upon the
tlmid depositors in the banks. II they
could all be convinced to-day that their
deposits would be safe in the banks
they would forthwith return them, ana
thus enable the banks TO lend out as
much money az the country needs, and
10 put an end to the panic.
The Sherman silver-law must be re-
Pealed. AZ the President says, you can
convince a man that he is well because
lac foolishly supposes himself 10 be sick.
