Entered at the Postoffice nt Accomac
C, H., Ya.. us second-class matter.
The editor of the Eastern Vir?
ginian, iu au article iu that paper
of last week, agaiu subjects him?
self to the charge of inconsistency.
Alter several weeks of labored ef?
fort to show the bad English, iu
which our editorials are written.he
now contradicts himself, by charg?
ing us with not writing them at
all. As the former charge did not
distress us, neither does the latter
one, as we expect a refutation of it
by that same facile pen which our
brother wields with such scholarly
ease and grace, when he forgets
as he wil', that he made it. a suf?
ficient answer to both of the charges
of our contemporary would be, per
haps, that despite the bad English
and the editorials, which he claims
another has written for us, The
Enterprise has a circulation of
more than 1.200 paying subscribers
in the county of Accomac (double
we think, at least of that of the
Virginian), and three-fonrtbs the
advertising patrouage of the coun?
ty. But we will say for the informa?
tion of our contemporary, that we
do not remember an issue of The
Enterprise, in which the editor
has not contributed an article to its
editorial columns, oftentimes the
whole of them. But if we bad not
written any of them, because of
the multifarious duties incumbent
upon us. why should the editor of
the Virginian feel any concern
about it? It is certainly not an
unusual thing for the editor to get
assistance iD his work from other
sources, if thereby his sentiments
are reflected. The editors of the
best newspapers in the land have
assistance in their work, but the
editor of the Virginian never. Of
rourse.no one would,who could write
such English or such editorials as
he does.
We w a rn the VirgiuiaDemocratic
delegation in Congress against their
most serious danger. It is the ap
poinrrnent, when men are equally
qualified, of those who have done
less instead of those who have
done more iu homo-able efforts to
nvuic tlic l.ur- I>rniueialic victory.
We trust that they will keep thi*
danger continually in mind. The
Democrats of Virginia are in no
mood to be trifled with, and they
aie closely and critically observing
every recommendation that is
made. For the character of these
appointments the Virginia Con?
gressmen will be strictly held Je
sponsible. We trust as we believe,
that tbey will do their best iu the
discharge of their delieate duties.
?State.
These are words of trne wisdom
"set in frames of gold." The State,
as usual, strikes "straight from the
shoulder'" and hits the nail sqnare
ly on '"he head. "For the charac
ter of these appointments the Vir?
ginia Congressmen will be strictly
held responsible"?and moreover
in ttie.'e appointments "where men
are equally qualified," care most
be had that they are to be made
from the ranks of those "who
have done more in the honorable
efforts to secure the late Demo?
cratic victory," than those who did
lenst; and not only tl e "late vic?
tory" hut in previous contests as
well. That the "Virginia Con
gi e.*.1 men" may be properly in?
formed?especially when they are
new to the district!*?it is impera?
tive the County Committeemen
shall keep them fully advised.
Put no skulker on duty now who
rises to the office as a minnow to
bait?and rises only because of the
bait.

The YJrglnia Conpon Cases.
WASHINGTON, March 20,_Five
! of the coupon tax eases from Vir?
ginia, viz., Poindexter against
Greenbnw; White against Green
bow: Moore against Groenhow; Car?
ter against Greenbow, and Chaftin
against Taylor, enme up for argii
ment in the United States Supremo
j Court this afternoon. They all
present the qnostion of the effect
of a tender for taxes of the con
I pons of the State of Virginia of
j March 30, 1871, and the right of
the Virginia taxpayer to bring a
snit lor damages against the tax
collector for levying on his proper?
ty after a tender of snch tax re?
ceivable coupons. In the first
three cases the State collector of
taxes pleads in justification of his
levy the act of the General Assem?
bly of January 26. 1882, and the
18th section of the act of April 1,
1832; and in the fifth case he pleads
in addition, the third section of the
act of March 13. 1884. None of
the cases are suits to compel di?
rectly the receipt of coupons by
the tax collector. They are all
suits to recover damages for a levy
upon property after tender of cou?
pons.
Mr. Wm. L. Royall, who opened
the argument to day for the bond?
holders, stated the point at issue
as follows: "While the State of
Virginia admits that >-he cannot re?
pudiate her coupons outright, she
claims that she may temporarily
suspend their tax paying power
j whilst she makes inquiry and sati
j ties herself that the coupons offered
j are really her coupons and not sim?
ulated coupons; and that, pending
i such period of suspension, she may
'compel the taxpayer to pay his tax
i in coin, to be returned to him when
[she is satisfied that the coupons of
j fered are really hers. ThecredUorde
nies this. He insists that her con
j tract is not a contract that she will
i ieceive the coupon ten days after
! it is offered, or any other number
of days after it is offered, but that
she will receive it when it is offer?
ed. Mr. Royall maintained that by
the language of the State's contract,
by the four decisions of her own
Supreme Court, and by the twode
cisionsof the United StatesSupreme
Court, the coupon was a legal ten
j der for the tax.
Mr. F. S. B'air, attorney-general
of Virginia, who followed for the
State, maintained, first, that the j
declarations and bills in all the
cases were insufficient in law; sec-j
oud, that the courts below had iio 1
possible jurisdiction or any of them;
third; that it isa fundamental princi?
ple in all sovereignties that a State
cannot be. sued at all unless she con?
sents to lie sued, and that the State
of Virginia had not consented to be
su d iu any of the modes adopted
in these cases or in any of the courts
in which they were brought; fourth
that the subject matter of all the
suits is the collection of the public
revenue of Virginia, and the receipt
of her coupons therefore, and for
this additional reason the courts be?
low should uot have entertained
them; tilth, that the writs of error
and appeals in each of these cases
should be dismissed as the amount
in each is less than 8?,0(J?, the juris
dictioual sum necessary for this
court; sixth, that the parties plain?
tiff and defendant are all residents
of the same S'ate, and no such con
stitutional questions arise in auy
of the cases as will justify the inter
po.-ilioii of this court. The argu?
ment wilt be rout iut:e.:l on Monday;
Hurder of Fannie Lillian Madison.
On last Saturday morning, the
keeper Of the Old reservoir of the
water works at Richmond, Vst.,
found the body of a young lady,
which has since hren identified as
Fannie Lillian .Madison, floating in
the water. She had arrived in
Kic'imond-, Friday morning at 3
o'clock, and had registered at the
American hotel as Miss F. L. Mer
ton. She nlept till 11 o'clock on the
morning of her arrival and break?
fasted in her room. She asked the
chambermaid if during the morn?
ing any one had called to see her.
No one had. In a little while, a
note came add esscd to ' MissMer?
ten/' and she answered it. After
dinner she went out, and meeting
a short, stout man on the pave
ment, as if by appointment, walked
away with him.
Near the place where she was
iountl on Saturday, one of her
gloves lay on the reservoir baniV,
and, two or three blocks away, her
I shawl was found thrown, during
the night, over the fence of a lady
with whom she-was acquainted. On
the reservoir bank were in.iny foot
prints of her own and some appar?
ently of a larger loot. Her face had
I a bruise on it.
I The body ho im: taken to the
Alms House chapel for recognition,
she was Identified first by a lady
who knew her, and subsequently by
her father.
An autopsy showed that her
death was the result of suffusion of
blood on the braiu, also that in a
short time she would have become
a mother.
T. J. Cluverins, a young lawyer
of King William county, who was iu
timate with the deceased, and wh >
was in Richmond on the night of
her death has been arrested as the
perpetrator of the crime and the
evidence, though wholly circum?
stantial, points to him very clearly
as the guilty party. At the coron?
er's inquest held over the dead
body a note written by Miss Madi?
son to T. J Cluverins on Friday
verdict of the jury was that she
came to her death either directly or
indirectly at the hands of T. J.Clu
verius.
Miss Madison is- described as
a young lady about twenty two
years old, of pleasant face, brown
hair, and short, stout stature and a
brigLt intelligent girl of good char
acter. She was a native and resi?
dent of King William county in
this State, who a year ago on at
taming her majority left the home
of her parents, having obtained a
situation as governess in the fam?
ily of Mrs. Dickinson,nearMilboro,
in Bath county. Cluverins is a
young man abont twenty three
years old, well educated, wealthy
and heretofore of good reputation.
Those who know him say it is im?
possible to make them believe with?
out further evidence that he could
have committed the crime.
Organizing Against Mahone. "
A conference of Republicans
held at the Governor's mansion,
Richmond, Thursday night of last
week lasted until 4 o'clock Friday'
morning. A paper was prepared
and several resolutions adopt* d, a
copy of each is to be sent to Sena?
tor Mahone, Chairman of the State
Republican Committee, and each
member of that committee, and a
reply asked for at once.
The purport of the paper and the
resolutions is that each county
chairman shall call a mass-meeting
at his respective county seat for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the State Convention, wide') shail
be called at an early day, so '.hat
there shall be a free expression of
views. It is said that the Straight
out Republicans who cooperated
with the Democrats in the recent;
elections in the State are in full
sympathy with the movement.
Among those present at the con?
ference were Gov. Camerou, bieut.
Gov. .lohn F. Lewis, Mr. Barbee, iK
Rockingham, and many other well
known Republicans. Leiters were
received from one hundred and
twenty-five others who expressed
sympathy with the object of the
conference. What those iu this
move demand is that the voters
shall be allowed to make a choice
of delegates to the State conven?
tion, which is to nominate Govern?
or, Lieutenant-Governor, and : .i
other general officers to be elected
this year, without interference
from Mahone or any one else. Un?
der the present organization of th*?;
Republican party Mahone and his
State committee are iu a position
to exert undue influence over the
local oiganizations. Oneot the ob?
jects of the conference is to prevent
this influence trom being exerted.
Inquiry on Saturday by a repre?
sentative of the New York World
among principal merchants in var?
ious departments of business in that,
city elicited the fact that trade is
much better than it was last year
at this time; that it has meas?
urably improved during tlie last fort

election, but now he is elected we

and I think he will give us a good

the policy of the administration is
to be, all then will have to make np

this year than we did last. Aste

I have looked b ick at our business
during several presidential years,
and 1 tiud we did quite as much iu
those years as in the years pro
