THURSDAY EVENING. JULY IS, 1857.

MAYOR CUTCHIN, OF Roanoke, is the
right man in the right place, but, un-
fortunately, like other well-meaning
people il official positions, he is not
receiving the support of the City Council
or the police force. On last Saturday
night, when fifteen as twenty outlaws
attacked eating houses conducted by
Greeks the Mayor took his life in his
own hands and stroye to quell the dis
order He subsequently convened the
City Council in special session and re-
duested that committee be appointed
10 ascertain the damage Inflicted upon
the Greeks in order that the same could
be satisfied out of the city treasury.
This was right. The Greeks we're con-
Quoting business under city licenses, and
were entitled to the protection OF the
notice. The City Council refused to
comply with the Mayors reasonable re-
quest. and the latter has called meet
inc of citizens of Roanoke for the pur-
pose OF taking suitable action toward
the payment of the damages inflicted
by the mob. The Mayor attended the
extra session of the Common Council and
the Board of Alderman Tuesday night
and after the latter body had declined
TO adopt the course he suggested he arose
and said:
Every man present at the scenes OF
the disorder in the eyes of the law was
a rioter, bu, / I'm frank to tell you there
has been no disposition on the part OF
the police to punish those who were on
lockers ! am so humiliated at the
proceedings of the City Council that /
am not as proud of the position Of mayor
SO / have been, because it appears that
several members of the council have
lined up on the other side.
1t is disgracelul when people calling
themselves good citizens or Councilmen
manifest sympathy for rOwdies and thus
hamper the enforcement of law, but
when policemen stand by and witness
disorders or show sympathy with out
laws, they should be made to resign at
once.

day in Roanoke by Judge John W..
Woods to investigate the riot of last

ing evidence from 60 witnesses. Twenty
indictments have been found aud turned
over to Sheriff Tillett, aud 10 arrests
have already been made.
The grand jury will meet again on
Wednesday of next week. The COrpO-
ration Court is sitting, and it is expect
ed that those ARRESTED on the charge Of
rioting will be tried at once.
Because the City Council Tuesday
night refused TO appoint a committee
with full power to investigate the dam
age done Greek restaurants by rioters,
and make full settlement at once, as re-
quested by Mayor Cutchin in his message
to the council Tuesday night, the Mayor
yesterday issued the following call for a

PROCEEDINGS WERE begun several
days ago in Richmond with view to
testing the constitutioDaliiy Of the law
which empowers the Chancery Court
clerks to probate wills. Since the law
was passed, the clerks have probated
a large number Of wills, and the ques-
ton of most concern is whether or not
these instruments will be valid should
the act under which the clerks acted be
declared null and void. The opinion
is expressed by leading attorneys that If
the legislative act should be set aside by
the courts it would affect every will filed
since that power was vested in the court
and the legal complications that would
follow are many and serious.

FITzSINIMONS KNOCKED OUT.

FitzsimmoDs in the second round of a
six-rOund boxing bout before the Wash
ington Sporting Club last night at Phil
adelphia. Fitzsimmons did not show
trace of his former proves, and it is
probable that johnson could have stop
ped him 10 the opening round if he had
cared to do 80. The blow that put Fitz
out was right to the jaw. The old man
fell to the floor, and as he made no at
tempt to rise, the referee stopped the
bout. The Kissing which usually follows
knOckouts of this character was absent,
the spectators evidently taking compass
sion on the former pugilistic star. Ref
cree Keenan, refused to act in the ring
because he heard that Ftz had badly
sprained arm. The manager Of the club
then entered the ring and watched the
uneven match. In the opening round
Johnson tapped Fitz when and where
he chose, but the latter was unable to
even land his famous counters.

New Trade Agreement Intended 10
Encourage Foreign Dealing.

Prom the New YORK tribune.
If the United States row consents 10
give a new Interpretation to certain
phrases I'm the administrative customs
law, it is merely admitting minor errors
of its own in construction and not at
tempting to overrule in any respect the
intentions Of Congress. Congress declared
that certain commodities imported should
pay a certain ad valorem duty. and in
tended that that duty should be proper
toned TO a fairly and justly ascertaiued
value. II cannot be nationally presumed
that the Treasury has any other desire
than TO ascertain actual values. and any
changes made I'm the process Of appraiSe-
ment must be held to be made i'm order
70 secure a more intelligent and more
equitable judgment II is as much the
duty of the government 10 guard against
0vervaluations as against undervaluatons
If it is to carry out the will Of Congress.
We can see no reason. therefore, for
complaints against the provisions of the
German modUs, unless they are based on
the wholly untenable premise that the
administration Is not sincere in protesting
its intention TO apply the present tariff
laws without favor or prejudice The
trade agreement with Germany was made
in conformity with the theory that We
can profit as a nation by encourag ging
foreign trade and by treating the nations
with which We trade as straightforward
and honorable business associates.
