DEc1sIoNs.-Among the decisions
handed down by the Court of Appeals
at Richmond on Thursday where the
following, brief mention of which was
made in yesterdays GAZETTE
Commonwealth VS.. Charlottesville

From Corporation Court of Charlottes.
vile. The question to be determined
was whether the capital stock of the
appellee is taxed by the third sub
division of the Sth section of the rove
nue. law of 1890, or whether, it is taxed
at all, the tax is included in the tax
imposed on the shares in the hands OF
the shareholders by the second sub
division of the same section. The lower
court held that subdivision taxes the
shares of joint stock company in the
hands of stockholders because they are
investments within the meaning of the
statute; and further, that as the aggre-
gate of the shares represents the cor
porate assets of every description, the
capital stock of the company is not to
be listed under the third subdivision
because it is otherwise taxed under the
preceding subdivision. The appellate
court held that tax on the shares is
not tax Oh the capital, and the lower
court is reversed. Opinion by Judge
Lewis.
Weisiger ct ais against Richmond
Ice-Machine Company. From the
Chancery Court of the city of Rich
mond. Affirmed. The bill was filed
by the appellants, Weisiger ct ais, for a
decision of the subscriptions to the stock
of the company and to recover back the
money paid or account thereof, on the
ground that they had been severally
Induced to subscribe by means of
fraudulent representations. The court
decided that ordinarily where the rights
of creditors are concerned the subscrib-
er must exercise reasonable care and
vigilance in discovering the fraud, and
in any case he must, upon discovery OF
the fraud, promptly repudiate the pur-
chase. The court held that the ap-
pellants had not exercised this reason
able care and had not repudiated their
subscriptions in time. e., they had
been guilty of laches, and their bill
must be dismissed. Opinion by Judge
Lewis.

A DISPATCH from Richmond says
there are democrats in that city who
say the result of the late election makes
Mr.. Cleveland the logical candidate for
the Presidency in 1896. Why certainly
it does, according to the logic of mod
ern democracy, and the effect of such
logic was patiently manifested last Tues
day. Those who want to give the
grace stroke to the democratic party,
hope and trust that the logic referred
to may be conclusive, but that good and
true democrats do not goes without say

A BRIDE BRUTALLY BEATEN. II.
Maxom, ofWheeling. a sewing-machine
agent, attempted to brutally beat his
bride of five weeks, at a boarding house

alleged, induced his wife to give him
$500, with which he disappeared. Mrs.
Maxom heard he was there and went
on yesterday. When they met Maxon
beat her numerically, choked her into
insensibility and then fed.

The Northern republicans are al
ready commencing to talk about pass
ing the Force bill when the new Con
gress shall assemble, and some of them
say their party allies in Virginia point
to their recent defeat as proof of the
necessity of that law. OF course the
sole purpose of such law would be
to make the South republican, which
means to make it subject to negro dom
ination; but it will take more than the
laws of republican Congress to effect
that object. no matter how desirable it
may be either to Virginia or Northern
republicans.

POPULISM IN THE SOUTH.
A letter from Washington to the Bal

timore Sun says:
"Here is another melancholy result
of Tuesdays election. The South, or
at least portion of it, has shown dis
position to accept populism and all its
wild vagaries. North Carolina has
adopted fusion, a combination of repub-
licans and populists. republicans first
because it is national organization,
aud populists second. South Carolina,
under the mask of democracy, has
elected a Legislature which will elect
Gov. Tillman Senator as democrat,
while ne espouses all of the delusive
doctrines of the populists. Alabama
has had its fight. The result was a re-
duced democratic majority, not due to
democratic detection as much as to
populists' encroachments. And so,
100, in Georgia. A month ago Mr.. AT
kinson for Governor received only hall
majority which he should have re
ceived. In Florida the democratic dis
affection has been swallowed up by the
populists. In Mississippi, where the
prevailing discomfort has apparently
been less felt than in any other southern
State, the malcontents cast their votes
for populists rather than for republicans.
In Louisiana extraordinary efforts were
made for republican candidates, but
evidently without success. In Texas
the democrats have won, but by what
narrow margin as compared with
former years. 1t was not the republi-
cans who made gains. 1t was the pop.
ulists. And so, too, in Tennessee and
Kentucky there were populistic gains.
In Virginia the populsts made no head
way. A year ago the third party made
its stand in this State and was most i9-
nomiuiously defeated. 1t was not an
experiment in this State this year as it
was in other southern States. 1t had
been tried and proved wanting.
The tendency of the South to accept
populism, as shown by Tuesdays re-
turns, will prove serious blow to the
land of Dixie. That section has more
industries to develop than any other
section of the country. 1t has coal and
iron mines, marble quarries, timber
lands and other industries which only
need the touch of capital to be devel-
oped.
The democracy is the only hope OF
the South. Its principles enacted into
laws are the only means by which
southern Industries can be developed.
Populistic theories cannot do it, for
they repel rather than attract capital.
Republicanism cannot do it, for the as
cendancy of republicanism in the South
means the ascendancy of the colored
race. This the southern people will
not tolerate, and even if over-ridden
there would be a reign of lawlessfess
which outside capital would not endure.
The democratic party is the only hope
of the South. There is no other party
to take its place, and that party, on the
other hand, must merit the confidence
of the people of the South by turning
down some of its alleged leaders, by
recognizing the younger generation and
by adhering faithfully to its promises.

A BIG BULLDOG ON THE RAMPAGE
A big brindle bulldog appeared on Main
street, Millburn, n. j., yesterday after
noon, and attacked Geo. L. Parmley OF
East Orange, who was riding a bicycle.
The animal threw him from his machine
aud bit him in the left leg. Parmley
finally beat the dog off, and it ran past
the NIillburn railroad station and into
the yard of David Brison's residence on
Old Short Hills road. A little watch
dog, owned by Mr.. Brison, started for
the visitor, and was killed before its
owner realized what its barking was
about.
After terrifying Brison's poultry, the
the bulldog started for Short Hills. It
spied a small dog owned by L. c, Good
rich, and quickly choked it to death.
Then the mad brute returned to Mill
burn. Some men and boys chased it
into the swamp south of the Millburn
baseball grounds.

CoLoNIsrs FOR vIRGIN1A.-Among the pas
seDgers on the steamer Richmond, which ar
rived in Baltimore from the Rappahannock
river yesterday, was Baltimore lawyer and
a German Catholic priest from Shenandoah,
Schuylkill county, Pa. 1t is stated that they
purchased one thousand acres of agricultural
lands belonging to Colonel Robert Mayo, in
Richmond county on the Rappabannoch river.
The priest, it was stated, will bring two hun.
bred Germans from Shenandoah to the land
purchased, and establish community. The
consequent trade will be to the advantage of
Baltimore as that section of the Rappahan-
mock has communication with Baltimore by
the Weems Steamboat Company four times a
week. The German Catholic congregation at
Shenandoah. Schuylkill county, Pa is named
the Holy Family, and is in charge of Rev. A.
Th Schuettelhoefer.

TALK ABOUT REoRGANIzATIoN.-
The Richmond correspondent of the
Petersburg AppedL saws:

There will certainly be an effort made to
reorganize the republican party Of Virginia in
the near future. With Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina
swinging over into the republican column,
the Virginia republicans are not willing to
throw away what they say is an opportunity
to capture the Old Dominion. Walker is, of
course, the logical leader, and fierce contest
to Dust Malone from the Craftsmanship may
be expected. 1t is know here that Malone
has not the remotest idea of surrepdering the
leadership without making an effort to retain
the position which be has held for a number
of years. 1t is thought that Waddill, Allan.
and possibly McCauil and Lamb will stand by
Malone, but Yost, Hoge, Thorp, Borland and
the most progressive element in the party Will
probably seek to have Walker made chair
man or possibly the general may not care fol
that position and in that event Yost will be
the man for it. In thisconnection it may be
interesting to consider what is to become Of
the populists. There defeat has been SO COM
plete they will hardly attempt to figure alone
in politics any more. Many people believe
that the most of those in Virginia will 90 over
to the republicans, while few may return to
the democrats. General Rosser, am told, is
already back in the democratic party"

SOME of the Northern republican
newspapers printed the news of the
late election under cut of the Ameri-
can flag, as though that flag had
been successful in resisting an
attack that had been made upon
it, and, before the election, they
advised their readers to "vote as
they had shot," Well, they did so
vote, but their ballots were boone
rangs, and will hurt them infinitely
more than those at whom they were
fred

AS THE republicans will have large
majority in the New York Legislature,
the recommendation of some of their
leaders that the whipping post be re-
established there will probably be
adopted. If it shall be, the example
will be profitable to all the other States,
and so again the result Of the recent
election may be a blessing in disguise.

IT Is noticeable that the late national
election was conducted more quietly
and with less trouble and bloodshed
than any ever held under the federal
supervision law, which was repealed by
q democratic Congress. The U. S. su-
pervisors aud deputy marshals pro-
voked disturbances by their behavior.
Last Tuesday the elections were held
solely under the supervision of officers
who, knowing they were responsible to
their respective States, and had not the
federal government to defend their as
sumptions, prevented, rather than
fomented disturbances at the polls.

SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. 10, 10 4

To PUT the new election law into OPP
Grafton added somewhat to the States
expenses, but that addition having been
made, the law should stand, as it is a
great benefit to both voters and candi'
dates. 1t does away entirely with the
ANNOYANCE to which the former are SUD-
iected on their way to and at the polls'
and it saves the latter all the money
they used to pay ticket holders. In
deed it effsctually stops the use OF
money at elections. Under it elections
are freer than in the republican States
of Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, as
in the former an educational restriction
is imposed upon suffrage, and in the lat
ter a man must pay tax before ne can
vote. But its greatest benefciarles are
the illiterate voters, for whose especial
benefit a man is provided at every poll
to enable them to vote for whom they
please: and as to the secrecy of their
ballots, they would surely rather con-
fide it to a sworn and reliable officer
than to ward or precinct rounder, who
would deceive them, and boast of the
number of his dupes. Such voters are
always at disadvantage, and that such
of them as refused the assistance OF the
constables last Tuesday cast defective
ballots is we'll known, but they were
white as welfas black. That elections
under the law are perfectly fair,is proved
by the fact that the 9th district went
republican by 5000 majority, though
at the previous election it gave the
democratic candidate seven thousand.
Certainly no one enamored of public
free schools should object to the law,
for if anything would induce man to
learn to read, it is only natural to sup
pose it would be his desire to be able to
vote as he wants to. So that in addi-
ton to all its other advantages, the new
law is an effective educational means.
