CoUNCILMEN's RIGHTS.

The Municipal Assembly is the name
by which the City Council Of New York
is known. And that somewhat august
body. it IS claimed, is Just now
in some little danger OF being
senC to Jail. The trouble has
grown out of the Assembly's neglect to
issue $4,000 In bonds 80 pay for a hall
OF records. now in course of erection.
Debts to builders have been incurred and
there is no money to pay them. To one
John Pierce. d builder. the sum of S}i225
is due and he has gone to the courts for
relief. and in consequence. Justice FitZ-
gerald. Of the Supreme Court, has issued
a peremptory writ Of mandamus directing
the Municipal Assembly TO issue bonds
TO pay Pierce for the work done.
Both branches Of the Assembly are in
clined to resist the mandamus. 1t is
government by Injunction" they insist.
President Guggenheimer, Of the Council
advises against resistance. He is a law
yer. and his view is that members should
either obey the writ or take an appeal,
which would operate as a stay of pro-
ceedngs. Instead of taking this course
the Assembly has asked he advice Of the
corporation counsel, hoping that a way
may be found in which they may dare
Justice Fitzgerald to do his worst.
Really. it does seem an anomaly that
legislators should be compelled to vote
for a bond issue before they are con-
WINGED I'm their own minds that it is the
proper thing to do; but the courts have
great powers nowadays. and it IS fair
20 presume that Justice Fitzgerald knows
what he is doing. At any rate. he seems
willing TO Join issue with the Municipal
Assembly. We wonder. though, that he
did not give judgment for Pierce and have
execution levied upon some of New
York's valuable property.
In no event are the cOuncilmen likely
TO go to Jail. or, If they so there it will
not be 60 stay long. 1t is understood that
there would be no great weeping and
wailing in New York if they were COM
mitted, but the chances are that there
will be only a technical commitment, even
If the dispute goes as far as that.

ON THE MODJiCE.
The New Steamer of the Old Domin-
lon Line a Great Success.

The handsome new steamer Mobjack,
Of the Old Dominion Steamship Company.
which has recently been put upon the
line between Portsmouth and Norfolk,
and the four rivers of Gloucester and
Mathews counties, Is truly a boon 10 the
travelling public. II fills a long-felt want,
and puts that portion OF the Western
Shore IN closer contact with the rest of
the State The building Of the Mobiack
was made necessary by the burning OF
the new Northampton last summer. she
was planned TO suit this route. and her
performance in practical working gives
every satisfaction. and shows that the
company "Ruilded better than they
knew" She Is very speedy. and makes
the run between Norfolk and Old Point
in thirty-nine minutes. 1t is thought this
time Will be reduced 10 thirty-five when
the machinery gets worn into thorough
working order Every appointment for
the comfort OF passengers has been taken
into consideration, while keeping an eye
TO her principal work. that Of a freight
carrier. She was built at Ncwburg. n. y;
is $50 feet keel. IS feet beam. and 10 feet
depth. with paddle-wheel beam engine
42-inch cylinder. and 9-foot stroke In her
trial she made sixteen miles natural

capable Of making twenty-five miles IN
hour. She has taken her place upon the

UNFORTUNATE.

Tho New York Evening Post, In pre-
facing a summary Of the work Of the
Peace Conference, INDUCES In warm
culogy Of the Car OF Russia. Among
other things the Post says:
ION the Path of August last the Car
Of Russia caused to be issued an official
communication which is destined to make
his own fame immortal, and TO confer
the greatest blessings upon mankind. only
two public papers of the nineteenth cen
fury are lit TO be compared with IL in
sublimity and humanity of purpose These
two are the proclamatons of emancipa-
ton 10 oppressed peoples issued by Presi-
dent Lincoln and by Alexander H., the
ancestor OF the present Car"
Then our contemporary goes on to re-
mind its readers that the present Cars
call "was issued by me greatest military
Power on earth. with perhaps one excep-
ton" and "came from sovereign who
is not restrained by any Parliament or
other constitutional authority"
We are disposed to give the Car all
the credit in this matter he deserves. But
the Posts reference 10 constitutional
authority" in the particular association
It presents is rather unfortunate for Mr.
Lincoln's memory That in signing the
emancipation proclamation Mr.. Lincoln
violated the Constitution and his oath of
Office there can be no doubt. No amount
OF argument against slavery. and no
amount of gush about humanity of pur-
pose" can rub out that fact.

Richmond. Va, July 2G, 1899.
TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
l have read with interest and pleasure
The editorial in this issue Of the Dispatch.
IN which you ask for information con-
corning the source from which the De-
partment of Agriculture Of North Caro-
lima derives its revenue. In reply 10 this
question l will say that. while North
Carolina makes no appropriation for her
department OF Agriculture, the law re-
During a tax Of - cents 10 be paid upon
every ton OF fertilizer sold in that State
yields the department an income of 500 co.
600 per annum The number Of tons Of
fertilizer sold in North Carolina is very
nearly the same as i'm Virginia.
The Department Of Agriculture of South
Carolina derives $4,000 from the tonnage
tax on the sale of fertilizers. and Georgia
receives $4,000 from this source. and also
has an appropriation of $4,000 per annum
The department In Maryland receives
$1,000 from the fertilizer tax and in addi-
ton the Legislature apprOpriates 5000
per annum West Virginia approprlates
$500 per annum. and in Tennessee the
fertilizer tax amounts to $4,000 while
the department also receives an appro-
priation of $4,000 a year. These may all
be considered our sister States. and i'm
wealth and population do not exceed Nir-
ginia. Therefore. the comparison IS not
unfair.
The little State Of Rhode Island appro-
PIRATES $25 coo TO her Department Of Agri-
culture while as for the great States of
Pennsylvania and New York. the former
receives from the Legislature $4,000 and
the latter $4,000.
Virginia receives no appropriation for
her Department of Agriculture. and the
income derived from the fertilizer tax
amounts to about $500 per annum. This
sum is entirely inadequate. and after the
brands of fertilizers sold in this State
have been inspected and analysed. as re-
qured by law, and the bulletins publish
ed, there is little left for the important

TO-DAY'S PRIMARY.

At the Democratic primary election e
be held to-day five candidates Tor the
House of Delegates are 20 be nominated
No other nominations are TO be made
our senators hold over for two years
longer
There are eleVpn gentlemen Offering O.
serve US an the House. ana out of that
number certainly it viii be practicable
TO select five who will make acceptable
representatives We have faith in the
accuracy of the public Judgment, and if
there is a good vote polled the odds are
that the ticket adopted viii be salts
factory.
There ought 60 be u much larger turn
out OF voters to-day than is usual at
legislative primaries The candidates
have been al work for long time. and
have enlisted the interest Of many Of
their friends. while the senatorial issue
has created al activity in Virginia poll
tics We have not seen before in many
years. Yet It IL common To hear good
Democrats say they are not going to the
primary to-day. because the City Commit
tee would not provide FOR a direct
vote between the two candidates for the
Omitted states Senate.
We submit that that is a very imprac-
teal view for any of our Democratic
fellow-citizens 20 take. Our legislators
viii have work so do besides nominating
and electing senators. In the general
business of the session our members will
Ia. int 80,
90 this city. which are too often the OBJ
sect of attack. our community will do
isseif injustice if it fails TO send 60 the
House the most worthy and capable men
available at this time for the service In
view But what warrant can we have
that judcious selections will be made if
many OF the Democrats who are most
capable OF exercising wise choice stay
away from the primary? II would be far
better that they should 80 70 the polls
and aid tholr fellow citizens in framing
.the best ticket possible under the cir
cumstances. We therefore. hope there
will be a large vote to-day. We ought
not to be satisfied with an average vote.
The interest and importance of the occa-
sion should be the means OF bringing out
the Democratic voting public in unusual
numbers.
Many Of our businessmen are 600 in
different 20 legislative primaries. Some
OF them act as ii they had no concern in
the Virginia LEGISLATURE Yet when OBJ
5octionabe bills are presented they rush
10 the Capitol and claim much OF the
time and attention OF members. OF
