Virginia Finances.

The annual exhibit of the Second Auditor Is an
encouraging document to all who are interested in
Virginia securities. According to his showing, the
entire public debt Of the State is S23,874,I76 81
being increased during the fiscal year by the sum
Of SbS32,40 OF. OF this, only sl2,os7,727 So is
unproductivc, the residue of 80 2se, 44S 90 being
productive, the revenue arising therefrom going to
the extnguishment Of principal and interest of the
public debt. The receipts during the year. arising
from the fund, amount to $505, 226 81, being an
increase of 79279 Is over the receipts Of the pre-
vious year. This goes to the payment Of the inte-
rest and principal Of the public debt There is now
in the State treasury, to the credit Of the sinking
fund, 81 365, 635 90, which, with other moneys nc
cruing viii be ample to meet all claims for prnci-
pal and interest Of the public debt falling due with
In the present fiscal year.
This statement Is sufficient TO settle all doubts II
any there be- of the ability Of the Commonwealth
to meet all her engagements. The temporary de-
probation of Virginia bonds is not owing to any
want of confidence In the sovcncy Of the State but
solely to the failure of certain banks whose opera
tons were based upon these securities The clio
sure OF these concerns has flooded the Market and,
money being somewhat scarce, they have declined.
They must soon regain their former popularity and
command premium, as heretofore. In view of
these facts we pronounce It our deliberate judg
ment, that no better speculation ever offered to
moneyed men than the purchase Of Virginia sccu-
rites at New York quotations. Sagacious capital
ists here and elsewhere are aware Of this and are
putting their sickles into the harvest. The event
viii justify their sagacity and our prediction.

Cam this be sof

We sent a copy of our first weekly, to each
of the most important post offices in Pennsyl-
vania, asking the postmasters to act as agents
for US, as they are allowed by law to do for all
newspapers I've have received to-day, letter
from very intelligent postmaster in that
State, who very properly says, that he will
cheerfully present the matter to those who
visit his office, as 1t is his duty to do what he
can to increase the revenues Of the department.
He then frankly and distinctly states as fol-
lows, to wit:
snow, sir, think it would be advisable for you
to appoint an agent in every county In the State
You are aware, mo, ace aeere mo-, that all the
principal tocns IN the State haze Catholic post
masters, and you are sending specimen numbers to
them, which will never be given out of their Of.
fees, and by these means your paper will never be
known amongst the masses of the people For
eign influence viii deprive your paper of that free
circulation which it should have. You know that
Ii is the policy Of the Pope to keep the great mas
ses of the people in darkness. This, sir is not the
case with me.
:" am anxious that every American should be
on his guard, for the enemy is at hand. The
American people should be well posted on all mat
tiers that concern their future interest"
We are free to confess that this information,
from an intelligent postmaster in central Penn
sylyania, takes us by surprise. If 1t be true,
that General Campbell has thus posted the
spies Of the Pope at all the important towns in
the State of Pennsylvania, we have only to say,
that he deserves the seoerest reprehension.
This thing must be at once investigated.
Let as hare light We want the truth, and
nothing but the truth, and we must have it.
We are not yet ready to be placed under Papal
espionage. We shall rebel against it, and, if
need be, we shall do more We call upon our
friends in Pennsylvania to come out boldly with
all the facts at their command. Our cores
pondent's statements are true, or they are false.
If true, let them be known, and the people will
arouse to immediate action. If false, let justice
be done to the Postmaster General by an expo
sure of their fallacy

GES. CAss AND THE PRKsDEScr.-Gen. Cass, or
at least his friends do not abandon the hope Of ee-
waiting him to the Presidency. The Washington
Star having declared that General Cass had given
up all ambitious longings, looking towards the
White House, the Detroit Times says
The assumption that General Cass has laid
aside all aspirations for the Presidency, Is entirely
gratuitous on the part Of our Washington cotem-
porary. Here at home his friends protest against
thus coldly despatching him with single stroke Of
the pen, and viii, by his own consent, bring his
name forward in their own time. We say distinct.
ly that General Cass win be candidate before the
National Convention, and nothing Is more calcu-
lated to sharpen that determination than Just such
paragraphs as the above, and the occasional blows
which he receives from large portion Of the south
ern press. Besides, the idea Of western Cass men
being transferred over the Douglas, is silly to be
commented upon"

Polish Demonstration in New York.

The twenty -fourth anniversary Of the Polish
revolution of 1880 was celebrated in New York
on last Monday night The company seems to
have been singular compound Of rank aboli-
tionists and gentlemen with very unpronounca-
Bile names. The speeches were made up alto
gether Of abuse-one set vilifying the people
and institutions Of the South, and the other
pouring out the most terrible anathemas against
the despots Of Europe. 1t is a pity that these
unfortunate refugees from tyranny should have
got into such bad company. The fate of Kos
suth ought to have taught them n wiser lesson.
Speaking of the incidents Of the meeting, the
Express says:
"There were probably some FIVE hundred Poles
present-but the principal speakers, and the prin.
cpal speakers invited, il win be noted were we'll
known politicians, Russia was loudly denounced
by these gentlemen--so was France, so was Eng
land, SO was Austria and Prussn. A general de-
claraton Of war, indeed, issued against pretty
much all Europe The Poles listened attcntively-
butonc, read up in the New York sympathy bust
ness could not but regret the bad odor Of bun
combc' and abolition there was about IL ALL Mr..
Hale had much TO say about freesoil and free
speech Mr. Sumner could not get on without an
alusion to the slave-drivers while the phrase ir
respective of color was permitted TO have, per-
haps unnecessary, prominence in the remarks and
writings Of sundry other gentlemen. There was
but very little applause for the speeches in Eng
lish, owing to the fact, that comparatively few Of
the Italians, Frenchmen Poles Hungarians pre-
sent understood the language. This was abund-
antly manifest in the warm and gushing plsudits
which greeted Mr.. Foresti, who spoke in italian,
and Mr.. Cedrow ski, In Polish The meeting was
very quiet and orderly throughout"

KnOw-NOthing Triumphs.

Whenever an election occurs now, it would
not be amiss to chronicle in advance the triumph
of our party, for tho returns would be sure to
bring us a confirmation of the statement. In
all sections of the country the same results are
witnessed. The cause Of American principles
is everywhere triumphant. Look at the two
following dispatches, received from the two ex-
trcmes of the Union:
. New ORLEANS, Nov. a8.--At the election held
here yesterday for State Secretary the Democratic
nominee was beaten 1890 votes by the indcpen-
dent candidate, supposed to be aKnow-Nothing,
BosToN, Nov. 2s.-The city of Charlestown yes
terday elected three Know-Nothings to the Legis-
lature to gil the vacancies in their delegation.

Pacific Railroad.

The last advices from Texas state that the
Governor had positively refused to accept the
securities offered by Mr.. r. j. Walker, and
had determined to issue proposals for another
contract for building the projected road. Quite
a quarrel had sprung up between his exoellen-
cy and the State treasurer, in regard to their
respective powers-each claiming the right to
decide upon the question at issue.
1t appears that the company have offered as
additional security nearly 100000 of the
stock Of the Mccanics' Bank Of Memphis, but
the offer was not accepted Much excitement
has grown out OF the subject.

The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Herald makes the following statement, which
we do not altogether credit Such may have
been the determination of few, but It'll scarce
ly credible that the entire body of Americans
in Paris had agreed upon any such exodus:
at is a remarkable fact, and highly honorable
to the chivalry Of the Americans in Paris, that
they had in body determined to leave the city, in
Of refusal to retract the interdict against our
minister to Spain. deputation to this effect ac-
tually waited upon Mr. Mason. The departure Of
the Americans would have been a serious loss to
Paris. There are said TO be thousand families Of
them here, and they are proverbislly among the
wealthest and most extravagant people Of this cay
capital. Their exodus would have made sensa-
ton in more ways than one. The reds think II a
pity il did not happen.

House of selden, Withers, & Co

AIoucC VI DcluCH, AtHCISs ~ w.
The failure of this house has produced con-
siderable sensation in Virginia, where their
notes were largely circulated
The Richmond Dispatch says:
So Selden, Withers, h Co. "wind up" We re-
peat our belief that the creditors Of the concern
will be paid. But we must say, that events prove
the wisdom of Mr.. Conway Robinson, in the Legs-
lature, when, in 1852, he moved the House Of Del
egates TO look into the contracts of the Board of
Public Works with the house of Selden, Withers,
4 Co., and urged that the relation between the
State and that house should be changed. He made
no reflection upon the house itself; but insisted
that it was a contract which should be made with
no clearinghouse whatever.
Last winter, Mr.. Garnett, of Essex, attempted to
get the matter up, but with no better success. We
do not suppose the State will lose any money by
the expiration of the house; but she has learned a
lesson which, we trust, che nor her agents will
never forget.
The Alexandra Gazette briefly remarks:
The situation Of the affairs of Selden, Withers,
Co. is matter of much interest to the public, in
this section Of the country, at this particular time.

srorLrNe SAILORS WORK.


The Russians have now so completely the range
of our guns that they are able to do much mischief
in the batteries. Yesterday they made no less
than nine holes with their shot In the Union Jack
which the sailors put up in their part of the 2l-gun
battery. To-day shot broke the flagstaff into
two pieces; the sailors managed 10 put IL up
again, fixing the broken part Of the staff by means
OF four trucks placed round It. They bad not done
