debt.', They .uKe this choice probably
because it chimes in with their state rights
predilections. But though, as Democrats,
our devotion te tlie doctrine of state rights
Is strong, we discover nothing in that doc
trine, soundly interpreted, te leave
a state at liberty te repudiate her
just (contracts, when there is op
portunity furnished te determine the
justness of such contracts in the federal
courts, and te provide lawful redress for
the aj grieved creditor. It would be a se
vere 1 low te the doctrine of state rights, if
undei it a state may violate her plight
ed fai th,and if no remedy may be found for
se gr ss awreng,that casts se great a stigma,
upon the fame and credit of the nation, of
whicl hthe states are the parts.
Tin majority of the supreme court, in tlie
very brcible opinion In which it has deci
ded that Virginia tax collectors must re
ceived state coupons as money, has fur
njata 1 a very suftlclent means of lecencil-
-4ngt e provisiensof theconstitutien. which
then inorityef the court find te lie con
flict! ig. It is decided that the tax collector
is.ne the state,and that a suit against him
isne a suit against the state, notwith netwith
stant ing that he encountered the suit in
ebed Mice te an act of the state's legisla-
, ture. That legislation is net a law, the
court decides, because it is void, as contra
vening the federal constititutien. Thestate
can pass no law that subverts a contract,
and every attempt te de se simply lesults
in powerless enactments that can have no
force in protecting these who act under
them! Virginia's void laws cannot protect
her tx collectors.
In this thorough way tlie supreme court
decision emasculates state legislation,
vielative of contracts, .without running
counter te the mandate- that a state may
netbfsued. The minority of the court
say tint this, is a subterfuge, inasmuch as
the i tix collector Is a state office and acts
for it which Is true eneugli ; as it is also
undei lable that the state is earnestly bent
en n radiating the debt it has premised
te pa: . It is net denied en any hand that
the c: editors of Virginia are seeking te
force in unwilling state te meets its ebli-
tgatleis. The supreme court decision tells
'them that they can de it whenever the
state h required te employ an ngent te de

Willi such an eminent autlieiilyas the
"WestChestcr lleimhJknn, of course one
must have great temerity te engage in dis
putation upon any question of science or
morals. And mere particulaily does the
combat appear uninviting and iwrileus
when " the Intei.lieknckk stands al
most alene in its unenviable position."
Nevertheless, we begtesay te our esteemed
centemiKirary that we have occupied that
position before and have fiequently come
te And it one of honor rather than of dan
ger or disrepute.
Te begin with, tlie Intkm.genckk is
net " vindictive " toward Mrs. Hunt, her
bill or her book. It deals with no public
question in any such spirit ; and has no
cause for aby sucli feeling. Mrs. Hunt's
law is impracticable, absurd and calcu
lated te hurt the schools, without doing tlie
slightest geed te the cause of temperance.
Her book, written te fit tlie law, we hae
criticised because, beingpiepaied avowedly
te meet the law's demands, it is tiie liest
exponent of the purposes of these who
framed the statute. Fretendlng te be
scientific work, it is unscientific, a tissue
of misinformation, ill-arranned and wholly
L bad. There is scarcer a school district in
thestate, ii inch it could be introduced
without doing harm and causing dissen
sions that would hurt the schools, and in
the end cripple the cause of temttfrance ;
for te that cause, as te many another geed
one, mere harm is dene by the supcrscr
vlccable real of its friends than by tlie at
tacks of its enemies.
We de net believe in teaching the effects
of alcohol upon tlie human system in all
the departments et all the schools. We doubt
if any reasonable and sensible iktsqu does.
We de net " stand alene " in this iKisitlen.
On the contrary most of the best educators
of the sUite are wjth us ; and these who are

took a prominent part at a publia meeting
held in that city te denounee the occupation
ofRenio by Victer Emanuel. The Italian min
ister at Washington has directed en official In
quiry te Juan A Plxzinl, the Italian vlce con
sul at Richmond, as te why his name ap
peared among theso tendering a banquet te
the departing minister. lie replied thntit was
due te a mistake. Just what connection a
minister's perbenal views have with Ms con
duct as an official machine, the key te the
motion of which remains in Washington, is
difficult te see. Rut luly ta a small pewer,
and small matters with It are, BHwki te go a
their general and proiier application nre )or )er )or
fectly valid, have been held te becomeoId
In particular cases cither us unconstitutional
regulations in commerce or as violations of
contract prohibited by the constitution, or
Itocause in seme ether way tliey operate te
deprive the party complaining of ri right
secured te him by the constitution of the
United Suites.
10. In cases of dctlnue the action Is purely
defensive en the pert of the plaintiff. Its ob
ject is merely te resist nn attempted wrong
and te rcstorethoBtntus In quo as it was when
the right te be vindicated was invaded. It is
analogous te the proventlve remedy of In
junction, in equity, where that jurisdiction
Is invoked, of which frequent examples oc
cur in unset te prevent the Illegal taxation of
national hanks by state authorities.
11. The suit nulherizcd by the act of the
general assembly or Virginia of January 20,
1882, against the collector of taxes refusing te
accept ntenderef ceu pens, te recover back the
amount paid under pretest, Is 110 remedy at
all for the breach of the contract which re
quired him te receive the coupons in pay
'menL The taxpayer and coupon holder has
a right te say he will net pay the nmeiint a
second tinie, and, Insisting ujwn his tender
as equivalent te payment, resist 'the further
exaction, and treat as a wrong-deer the offi
cer who seizes his property te enforce It,
The right te pay in coupons cannot be treated
as a mere right et set-off. which is part of the
remedy morely when given by tlie gcneral
law, and therefore subject te modification or
repeal, liecause the law which gave It is also
a contract, and thorcfero cannot be changed
without mutual consent.
12. Neither can it be considered an ndc ndc
quate remedy In view of the supposed ne
ccslty for summary proceedings in matters of
roveniie, and the convenlenco of the state,
which requires that the prompt collection of
taxes should, net be hindered or embar
rassed ; for the rovenue system must yield te
the contract which the state has lawfully
made. and the obligation of which by the
constitution it is forbidden te impair.
13. The act of the general assembly of
Virginia pf January 20, 1882, and the amenda
tory act of March 13, 1884, are unconstitu
tional and void, because they Impair the
obligation of the contract of the state with
the coupon-holder under the act of March 30
1871, and that being the main object of the
two acts, the vice which invalidates them
pervades them throughout and In all their
previsions. It is net practicable te separate
these parts whleh repeal and abolish the no
tions of trespass, nnd trespass en
the case and ethor particular forms
of action, as remedies for the tax
payer who has teudered his cou ceu
jxmslit payment of taxes, from the main ob
ject of the acts which that prohibition was in
tended te ellectuate 1 and it fellows that the
whele of these and similar statutes must be
declared te be' unconstitutional, null and
void. It also fellows that theso statutes can
not be regarded in the courts of the United
States as laws of the state, te be obeyed as
rules of decision in trials at common law un
der section 721, revised statutes, or as regu
lating the practice of theso courts under sec
tion till, revised statutes.
It The present case is net covered by the
decision in Auteul vs. Qrcenhew, 107 U. H.,
700, tlie points new Involved being expressly
roserved u the judgment in that vase.
