half dozen or SO stately floral pieces
that doomed up on the desks of states
men there were three for West Vir-
ginians. Capt. B. B. Dovener, OF
Wheeling, who has just allowed the
voters of the First district to give him
a third term, was honored with two
tributes-one an immense horseshoe
of roses, another a huge basket of the

DECISION IN A VIRGINIA CASE.

Brewer handed down an opinion in the
United States Supreme Court to-day,
reversing the opinion of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia in the
case of A. A. Mccullough VS.. the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
The case involved the validity of the
State laws concerning the State coup
ons issued under the act of 1871.
Mccullough rendered some of these
coupons in payment Of his taxes. They
were not accepted by the State au-
thorities and the State Supreme Court
sustained this refusal. To-day's opin-
on reversed this action of the State
court, holding that the coupons were
a legal tender for taxes in the State.
Justice Peckham rendered dissenting
opinion on the ground of want of jur-
isdiction.
