wgDEEs DAY EVENING, APRIL y, 1885

WHEN THE President OF the United
States calls upon Virginia for trcops' ner
Governor, under the Constitution fur
nishes the requisite number, and when
the Congress imposes double and un-
lust tax Oh Virginia's tobacco crop she
pays it, also under the Constitution.
But it seems that the constitutional OBJ
legation is only binding on one side, for
though Virginia, under the Constitu-
ton, elects representatives to Congress-
they are turned out whenever the re
publican majority in that body feels
disposed to give their seats to members
of its own party. But, under the en-
nobling influence Of free and equal IN
situtions and unrestricted suffrage the
msiority must rule.

NORFOLK, Va, April IA terrific
storm is raging on the Virginia and
North Carolina coasts this morning
The wind is blowing sixty miles an
hour from the northeast and many yes
sells are in danger of being wrecked,
Capt. Ferry, of the British steamship
Castledale, from Tampa, reports pass
ing derelict bark named Cadet, com.
pleteiy stripped and her long-boat ~
ing on the deck. The fate Of the crew
is unknown. A big three-masted
schooner with part OF hsr mast5 gone
and rails smashed 10 is signalling for
help at Chickamicomico Life Saving
Station, and she will surely be driven
ashore. The cruiser Montgomery and
the transport Panther, which left here
yesterday for Key West, were also in
danger, but it is known that they
rounded Cape Hatteras before they en-.
countered the storm. The storm did
considerable damage in Norfolk and vi
cinity.

KEY WEST, April 27.-The prize
court OF inquiry, appointed by United
States Judge Locke at Jacksonville on
April q to adjust the questions relat-
ing to the capture of prize vessels, met
here to-day. The finds will not be an
nounced until the entire matter has
been disposed of. There is consider
aole speculation as to what disposition
will be made of the crews and passen-
gers who were aboard the prizes when
captured. They number about $50.
United States District Attorney Strip
ling says that the crews and passengers
are not prisoners. They have all been
offered liberty, but, as many of them
are without friends here, they do not
care to land in hostile city, despite
assurances of protection. a report from
Washington to the effect that the prizes
would be returned to Spain has caused
keen disappointment among naval men
here.

Governor TYLER Wants Money.

RICHMOND, Va, April 27.-The or
der has gone forth to muster the Vir-
GINA troops into service, but questit n
arises AS to who pays the expenses
Unless the governor sees his way clear
to defray the expenses created by q
concentration of the troops from any
money in the State treasury not othel-
wise appropriated, the military organi.
cations could not be brought together,
except the railroad companies should
agree TO furnish them free transporta-
ton. In going to the place OF concen-
tration or mobilization, which in this
instance would be Camp Lee. the vol
unteers would also have to provide
themselves with one or two days ra-
tons.
The following are the infantry or
CARNATIONS which will be mustered in
to service, provided each of them
reaches the required strength ofeighty-
four men and three commissioned Off
cars to accompany: The Second and
Tnird Regiments will each be mustered
in as whole, the former in command
of Colonel James c. Baker, with eight
companiee; the latter in command OF
Colonel Granville Gaines, with nine
companies; four companies from the
First Regimen; ten companies from
the Fourth Regiment; two companies
from the Third Battalion (Portsmoutb);
two companies from the Fourth Bat
talon (Blues), of Richmond.
Colonel Harry Hodges, OF Norfolk,
commandant of the Fourth Regiment,
has also volunteered his services.
The three regiments 10 be supplied
by Virginia will, therefore, be COM
manded as far as the present indications
go, by Colonel Baker, of the Second;
Colonel Gaines, OF the Third, and Col
onel Hodges, OF the Fourth Regiment.
To these troops will be added the two
new companies just organizf d -oue by
Mr.. Joseph E. Willard, OF Fairfax, and
the other by Mr.. R. L. Miller, of Lynch
burg, known as Fitz Lee Rifles.

GEN. WILLIAM NALLE.

A dispatch from Richmond says: Gen.
William Male, the present adjutant-
general of the State, will, it is believed
be named as brigadier in command Of
the three regiments of infantry which
| Virginia is to furnish. Gen. AloDZ0
Philips, the commander of the brigade,
WHO is veteran of the civil war, is in
bad health and cannot go to the field
He has written the Governor to th
effect, Governor Tyler will manic
General Male, and the President will,
no doubt, confirm this appointment.
The three regiments, which will be as
signed under the call of the President,
will probably be the Second, Third and
Fourth, the colonies and other field of
Gcers of which have, like the men, all
volunteered. The First regiment is the
oldest command, and ordinarily would
be this in assignment, but Colonel Jones
has not volunteered
Col. 10 Lane Stern, the inspector
general OF Virginia troops, and Lieut..
]. G. Byron, of Massachusetts, on duty
with the Eighth cavalry, left for Wash
ington last night in connection with the
establishment of a camp in Richmond
for the mobilization of the troops. They
carried with them g letter from Gov.
Tyler commencing this idea. The let
ter also recommends that Colonel Stern
be placed in command of Lee Camp,
and that Lieutenant Byron be assigned
TO duty somewhere else.
Captains Guigon and Andrew Pizzini
left for Washington yesterday to offer
10 the government the use of Forest
Hill, which is located near the suburb
an residence of Ex-Governor O'Ferrall,
for a camp of mobilization.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

The republican State committee
which met in this city on Monday, ha'
given out the address adopted on thai
occasion. This paper is signed by
Chairman Park Agnew, Gen. James A
Walker, James ID: Brady, S. Brown
Allen and Gen. Stith Boiling.
After congratulating the voters o.
their party upon the fact that the
Stanton convention, which met on
April %, 1896, made important changes
iu the plan of organization, the commit
tee impresses upon the republicans the
importance of making nominations for
Congress this year. Under the present
plar If organization, as the address
point ut, all power ascends from the
people, instead of going from those
clothed in authority by the people
down to the body of republican
voters. Under this plan, the commit.
tee say, the time has come not only
for the necessary steps looking to the
campaign for the election of Congress
men from the different districts of the
State, but also cell upon the people to
select their representatives in the State
committee. The committee impr esses
upon the voters the fact that it is the
duty OF the district committees to call
conventions to make nominations for
candidates for Congress. 1t is to be
left with such bodies, they contend,
whether such nominations shall be
made. The hope is expressed that all
of the members OF the party will in
ferest Themselves in the coming con-
otsssioDal tampaigr. 1t is admitte
u ere some dIssensiona IN the
ranks of the repuu.~>

TIE PUBLISHED statements to the
effect that Generals Ysrela and Mssso,
of the Cuban army, have joined the
Spauiards and are now fighting against
the United States, is not conducive to
the balief that the American army to
invade Cuba will have its own way
there. Pure blooded Spaniards can be
relied upon, as was proved in Napo'
Icons time, but the half-breeds in Cuba

PROF. NORTON, of Harvard, 10 an
address to the students of that inatitu-
ton Yesterday, deprecated the atll-
tude OF the American people, which, ne
said, had brought about war as a
means OF settling difficulty with q
weak and inferior nation, aud SAID
there was no call for students to enlist
and no true patriotism in their SO do
ing" The Professor, like every other
intelligent man, knows the difference
between true and disinterested, and
false and purchasable patriotism, but
unlike many of the others, he has the
moral courage to express that know'
ledge. Real patriots are always re-
spected; the spurious ones never are.
