p WALTON MOORE

Hon. R. Walton Moore, one of the
ablest and strongest men in the con-
gressional contest, has announced his
withdrawal from the field.
This is not through any apprehen-
sion as to the result, any fear ofdefeat,
because it was generally recogniz I'd
that he was an unusually strong Compel
itor in the race. Nor is it necessary for
US to say that it is not the result of
any IDEAL" or combine. The high per-
sonal standing of Mr.. Moore assures
this already. II is true that Mr.. Moore
may have been influenced somewhat by
distate for the general scramble III
political life for office. 1t is more than
likely that the final decision was reach
ed after due consideration of the ap-
peals of his personal friends, who know
what a political life means, among
whom we are glad to say was the ed
itor of the Journal, that there was a
higher, brighter, and more satisfactory
position in life for the brilliant young
lawyer, orator, and literateur than any
offered in the political world.
While there was no man in the held
whom we could have supported more
cheerfulIy for Congress, or any other
position, knowing the man as We do,
we are frank to say that Mr.. Moore has
acted wisely.
We do not wish to be understood as
retiring Mr.. Moore from politics or pub
lie life; because it is doubtful if bis
friends will permit his retirement. He
is simply doing what Hunton, of Eau
quier, and Thornton, of Prince William,
are doing, steering clear of political life
and rising in their professions.
1t must now be apparent to all that
the retirement of Mr.. Moore strength.
ems decidedly the chances of MIR. Mere
ditb; and unless We are greatly mis-
taken the domination will be his.-Ma-

DECREE AFFIRMED.

In the Court of Appeals in Richmond
on Thursday in the case Lennon, etc.,
vs.. Herbert, trustee, from the circuit
court of Fairfax, the decision of the
lower court was affirmed. Opinion by
Judge Rely.
The court is not called upon to
express an opinion on the merits of this
case. the rulings being mainly upon
questions of chancery pleading and
practice.
Held, 1. Though complainant have
a complete remedy at law, and his bill
allege no sufficient ground for equity
jurisdiction, still decree rendered
,ereon would not be void and liable to
collateral attack. The bill was filed in
and the decree made out by court of
general jurisdiction over the subject
matter of equitable rights, interests,
aud remedies. 1.-The power to hear and
d .termine a cause is jurisdiction" The
cree might be erroneous, yet
conclusive until reversed or va
Gated. This court could not determine
whether the case was one of equit'
able jurisdiction or not without an
inquiry into the facts, and where in
quiry is necessary the decree, however
erroneous, is not void. 8 Leigh, 1l9,
13l; 8 Graft, 1923, 32S; 16 Graft. 32l,
526; and Cardoza, sheriff, vs.. Epps,
sergeant, decided at the last term.
3 1.-The proceedings and judgment
Of court of chancery or of court
clothed with equity powers, are not
necessarily null and void because the
action is not one which comes within
the scope of the equity Jurisdiction in
the common acceptation of that phrase,
or, in other words, because the claim Is
one for which there is full, adequate,
and complete remedy at law"
If such court should hear and decide,
according to equitable methods, case
not within the scope of equitable juris-
diction. because both the primary right
invaded constituting the cause of &C.
ton and the remedy granted were
wholly legal, and belonging properly
to the domain of law courts, such judg-
ment, however erroneous and liable to
reversal, would not necessarily be null
and void. Pomeroy's Eq. Jurisp., Sec
tons, 129, 100.
Until the decree is reversed it is
binding and conclusive if the case, as
presented by the bill, was of such
character that the court was bound to
hear and determine whether it had
jurisdiction to grant relief. Ga Ala. 40,
433.
An adjudication that a particular
case is of equitable cognizance cannot
be disturbed by any original suit, nor
decree be assailed for erroneous rulings
in collateral proceeding. Such adju-
dication is not void, even if erroneous.
13l, U. S. Rep, 352, 367.
2. As to removal of the cause. The
court may surely do by the consent of
all the parties what it would have
right to do upon the motion of any one
of them. Consent is in effect motion
by all the parties, and guardian ad
ltem for infant parties may consent for
them, and such consent is valid. Va.

BADLY BURT.-On Thursday of last
week as Mr.. Daniel Crows S.year-old

his home at Herndon, the long reach of
a passing wagon struck and threw the
horse to the ground. The horse fell
over the reach on bis back, the little
boy being under him. On regaining his
feet the horse inflicted painful injuries
by trampling upon the lad, and before
the team could be stopped the rear
wheel ofths heavy wagon passed over

of the team, carried the unconscious
little fellow into the house, where every

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL wisely oppos
ed the proposition of submitting the
question of calling convention to re-
wise the State constitution to popular
vote next year, but unwisely approved
a resolution to that effect, passed by the
legislature. Having done the latter,
however, he should have washed hi
hands of the matter. But instead OF
doing so, he now advises the CON-
ing State democratic convention to de
clara what changes shall not be made
in the State constitution. All the nee
essary and possible changes can be
made by the legislature, without the
expense of costly State convention.

The Republicans of Pitt held their
county convention here to-day. c. Nj.

the Populists was accepted, and a skel-

All the work was done in a caucus
and the convention was asked to ratifv

declared the work of the caucus rati-

this county in the last Legislature,
was re-nOminated. He at once de-
nOunced the action of the convention.
and stated in vigorous language that
he would not accept any nomination
given in any such way. Many were on
their feet to condemn the proceedings
OF the convention, but were stihed
down.
1t looks now like there will be an
other ticket.
Resolutions were passed endorsing
Russell and Mckinley. Col. Skinner
had many hits, and it looked as if there
was not a man in the convention who
would vote for him.
There was no enthusiasm, but lots of
noise and hard feelings. Only six
white men were inthe convention as
participants. Watson was denounced
as a ''nigger hater,"
