Republican members Of the Appropria-
tions and River and Harbor committees,
and other leaders to-day intimated that
there would be no river and harbor bill,
nor public-building bill passed this ses-
sion. The reason for this is that the
revenues are falling short, that some SD,-
100000 or $4,000 900 will be spent in the con-
structlon Of war vessels. and that this
is all that can be afforded under existing
revenues A strong effort will be made,
however, 20 have a river and harbor bill
passpd,

VIRGINIA COURT REVERSED.
PIaintiff in Mccullough Case Get De-
cisiou at Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. December g.
(SpeciaL)-The Supreme Court to-day re-
rersed the Virginia Court Of Appeals in
the case of a. A. Mccullough VS.. the
Commonwealth OF Virginia. The case
grew out of McCulloughs attempting to
pay taxes with coupons The Norfolk City
Circuit Court sustained him; the Court
OF Appeals reversed the decision, on the
ground that the funding acts Of ISL and
1879 were unconstitutional. This, the Su-
preme Court held, would be reputation
Of contract, and was. therefore, uncon-
stitutional, aud the case was 'remanded
for further proceedings not inconsistent
with the mandate of the court"
Justice Peckham rendered a dissenting
opinion, on the ground of want Of Juris-
diction.

GEN. LEE AND THE SENATE.
He Says lie Has Not Changed His
Purpose Concerning His Candidacy.

General Fitzhugh Lee has in no way
changed his mind regarding his an
nounced determination to be candidate
for the United States Senate from Vir-
ginia next year.
A statement to the contrary. published
in Richmond yesterday. created a great
deal OF interest To General Lees closest
friends It came as a great surprise. He
had so positively declared. almost on the
dav OF his departure for Savannah, a few
DAYS ago. that he would be a candidate.
that IL could not be credited that he had
so suddenly and so completely changed
his mind.
The Dispatch wired General Lee, at
Savannah, last night the substance Of the
article referred TO, and inquired IL the
statements It contained were correct. The
answer was prompt and emphatic. Gene
raj Lee said:
