VIRGINIA. STATE STOCKS.

w. r. Drinkard, the Secretary of the Board
Of Public Works Of Virginia, publishes letter
in Fridays Nep York Herald, in reply to the
Heralds money article of the 2lst instant
which stated that suspension on the part Of
Selden & Withers would be disastrous to the
State Of Virginia, and involve suspension Of
work on the internal improvements Of that
State. Mr.. Dnnkard says the statement Is alb
surd, and quotes three of the sections Of the
fourth article the Constitution of Virginia, TO
show that, whenever debt is created by Vir-
ginia, fund at the same time is created for
the prompt payment of the interest and the
final redemption Of the principal. The follow
ing are the sections referred 10 by Mr.. Drink
ard:
"29. There shall be set apart annually, from the
accruing revenues, a sum equal TO seven per cent.
OF the State debt existing the FIRST day Of Janu-
airy, in the year 1862 The fund thus set apart
shall be called the sinking fund, and shall be ap-
piled 10 the payment Of the interest OF the State
debt, and the principal Of such part as may be re-
deemable- limo part be redeemable, then the resi-
due Of the sinking fund, afler the payment Of such
interest, shall be invested in the bonds ceriif-
Gates Of debt Of this commonwealth, or Of some Of
ment Of the State debt as IL shall become redeem
able. Whenever, after the said first day Of Jano-
ary, debt shall be contracted by the common.
wealth, there shall be set apart in like manner,
annually Tor thirty four years. sum exceeding by
one per cent. the aggregate amount OF the annual
interest agreed 10 be paid thereon the time ofis
contraction; which sum shall be part of the sink.
iag fund, and shall be applied in the manner be-
fore directed. The General Assembly shall not
otherwise appropriate any part ofthe sinking fund
or lis accrung interest, except in time OF war in
surrcction or invasion.
30 The General Assembly may, at any time,
direct a sale of the stocks held by the Common
wealth in internal improvement and other compa-
MES; but the proceeds Of such sale, IL made before
the payment OF the public debt shall constitute a
part Of The sinking fund, and be applied in like
manner
81. The General Assembly shall not contract
loans or cause 10 be issued certificates Of debt or
bonds OF the State irredeemabe for period greater
than thirty -four years"

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

When the elder Brutus, at the hint ofthe ora
Gle, FRUSTRATED himself ON his face and kissed his
mother earth, he had no idea that he was per-
forming an act of SO much political significance.
The same performance is now being carried
on in our own country, by large number of
our politicians, without bringing, however, to
them or their cause the same fortune as hap
pened to the old Roman. The public lands of
the country, ceded to the Government for the
common benefit of all the States, or purchased
with the blood and treasure ofevery part of the
confederacy, have been the source and subject
of contention from very early period in our
history. AL sorts of schemes have been based
upon them-all sorts of opinions held with
reference to their disposition. Mammoth Gov
ernmentBanks have been proposed to be found
ed upon the public lands and their proceeds.
A distribution scheme actually prevailed for a
time, wherein the Government paid over to the
States theproceeds of the public lands, collected
at considerable cost when at the same time
constantly accruing expenses compelled it to
raise money, with all the attendant charges of
the revenue system, to meet its own pressing
wants. Railroad schemes and alternate Sec
ton bills-free farms and Homestead bills
graduation measures and presumption rights
squatter sovereignty and alien disabilities, all
these and many more are based upon this pub
lie domain, and each one has its host of friends,
enacting the part of Brutus, and reverently
kissing mother Earth for their own or their
country's good. But these are not the only
complications. Not only is there strife as to
the manner in which these public lands and
their proceeds shall be appropriated, but Free
Soil enters the lists and boldly clamors for
the right to dictate how they shall be governed
Some of the politicians turn their attention ex-
elusively to the question of quantity whilst
others seem to concern themselves solely with
the quality. Some seem to be anxious only as
to the breadth and fertility of the acres, whilst
extent and richness to others are of no mo-
ment if the "dirt" is only free. To the latter,
the desolate plains of New Mexico are more
lovely than the pastures of the wild horses Of
Texas. Whenever land proposition comes
up before the consideration Of Congress, sort
of Stree fight" is exhibited. Politicians find
themselves alongside former enemies, contend
ing against old friends. All seems confn-
sion, which nobody can unravel. The subject,
of course, viii be brought before Congress at
the coming session.
In reference to our public domain, we only
y ~ - Il N L 4
They are, that they shall be alike open to the
North and South; and that the Government
shall receive the value of them, upon their
sale, to be applied to the payment of current
ernanaaa

Ioy- The New York Tribune. in referring

I15- The New York Tribune, in referring to
the way in which the Know-Nothings managed
things at the recent election, has the follow
ing:
Prior to the late election the "Know. N 9TH
ing lodge at Lansingburgh, Rensselaer, Co., had
on its rolls the names Of two hundred and
ninety-eight members. These, as we are cred
IDLY informed, were numbered from No. 70
298 inclusive, in the order Of their admission
into the lodge, and each was provided with a
ballot for Ullmann * Co., bearing his own
number both inside and out, which ballot he
was required to deposit at an early hour, while
a sharpeyed spy was deputed to stand at the
poll and check each vote as it came in, taking
care that the right man voted il. If any one
presented vote that did not bear his proper
number, he was spotted and if any man was
behind at the hour when he ought to have
voted, nimble committee was sent after him.
When the boxes were turned, n committee
stood ready to note every vote as il was opened,
and if No. l78, or any other number, did not
happen to carry the Hindoo nominees through
out, then No. 178, or whomsoever was impIi.
Gated by the revelation, was kicked out of the
lodge forthwith. 1t is possible that The
above may be incorrect in some particular, but
in substance it is well vouched for and undoubt-
edly correct

SoLIDrFIED MnK.-In the American Medi.
cal Monthly for October is an account Of the
mode Of preparing milk in solidifed form.
Some eighty miles from New York, up the
Hudson river is large establishment where
the article is manufactured. To liz lbs. OF
fresh milk % lbs. Of white sugar is added, and
a small portion Of the bicarbonate of soda,
and this gently reduced by water-bath heated
with steam, TO powder, in evaporating pans Of
enamelled iron. A press now makes the pow
der assume the shape Of small block or tab
let, which, covered with tin foil, is offered to
the public for sale. 1t is pronounced to be a
most excellent substitute for milk, and il will
readily occur TO every one how useful must be
this preparation under many circumstances.

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF ARsENIc--BoI-
din, pbysician-in-chief Of the military hospital
du Roull, is said 10 treat almost all limnenic
affections, regardless Of symptoms, with arse
Nous acid. This distinguished French sur.
geon says that after having commenced TO ad.
minister the twenty.fourth part of a grain, he
gradually became convinced, with many other
physicians who had obtained similar results
that arsenious acid preserves, even at the small
dose Of one hundreth Of a grain, all It's medi-
cinal energy, not only in the treatment Of marsh
lntermittents, but also in that of number Of
other diseases. Dr. b. says that with single
dose OF the one hundreth part Of grain he
has often removed, radically, fevers contracted
IN AigIers or on the Senegal, which had re-
sisted the sulphate of quiaine and change Of
climate.
