The PooR-In view of this bitter cold
weather, and the unusual pressure of these
hard times, some unusual and extraordinary
effort ought to be made for the poor. The
Union Benevolent Society are exerting their
accustomed energy in this field. but they
ought to be generally sustained by the whole
community. Not only ought the benevolent
to act in an associated capacity, but great
deal of good mi yht be done il each individ-
ual family would also extend aid directly to
some poor family or individual of their per-
sonal acquaintance. Some clothing, little
fuel now and then, occasionally portion of
the good things with which the tables of those
in comfortable circumstances are supera-
bundantly supplied, sent by each family to
some destitute family of their acquaintance,
would carry JOY and perhaps save life in
many suffering household.
The STATE BoHDs.-The following notice
has been communicated to Banking House
in New York, from DIR. Graham, President
of our Board of Public Works:
''The Board of Public Works OF the State Of
Virginia give notice that the bonds of the State oil
Virginia, which have been hypothetical with you
by, or on account of Messrs. Selden, Withers q
Co., the property of the State of Virginia; and
you will be held accountable therefor, and here
by warn you not to dispose of them. lSigned0
"ARcHD GRAHAM.
This notice has occasioned good deal of
comment in the New York press. BY some
of them, it is deemed prejudical to the credit
Of Virginia, as it is contended, it smacks OF
reputation. Others view it in different
light nferring that it is designed to protect the
State by preventing a sacrifice of the bonds,
and securing to it any margin which might
be saved on them; and this is the correct
construction. The New York Express states
that there are 100000 of these bonds un.
der hypothecation with the house in question.
Other papers say S25o,OOo only is the amount
hypotheeated.
The right to hypothecate these bonds is
based on the seventh section of the contract
with Selden, Withers Il Co.; contract
which never ought to have been made. This
stipulated that
If required that Messrs. Selden, Withers & Co.
shall make advances to the board In advance OF
sales of bonds, and that the board in order to ia.
ciltate the operations of Messrs. Selden Withers
& Co. shall deliver them bonds in advance of sales
to the extent of $5o0000.
We have no idea that the credit of Virgil
mia is to sustain any farther depression. The
money for the January interest has, large
portion of it, already been placed on deposite
with the Bank of Commerce, New York,
and the rest will be forthcoming in due time.
An item of news, published in the Dispatch,
yesterday, relative to an affair CT honor In Phila-
dcpha, should have been credited to the Baltimore
Sun.
