"ouR WORTHY GOVERNOR"

Mr.. M. F. Conway, in the following
letter, contradicts the statement of
Governor Peirpoint in regard to Virginia
and the national war debt:
RICHMOND, Wednesday, October 25 1895.
TO ae Editor Of the New York Times.
1t has been extensively given to the
public that Governor Peirpoint, in a
late conversation with the Hon. Eyee-
man Clarke, Comptroller of the Cur
rency, expressed an opinion to the effect
that the people of the South would OBJ
ject to paying taxes for the redemption
of the national debt.
The official position of Governor
Peirpoint and the circumstances of the
country rendering it sensitive on the
subject, give greater Importance to this
expression OF opinion, if made land it
is sustained by affidavit), than it would
have in different state of things.
I, therefore, feel called on tostate thus
publicly, after q residence as long in
Richmond as that of Governor Pier
point, and after full and free intercourse,
during the last summer, with men in
public and private life. from all parts of
the South, both in Richmond and WASH
ingtOn, that have heard no purpose or
disposition expressed by them to resist,
or in any manner seek to enable at any
time. this, or any part or kind, of their
lawful obligations, as an integral por-
ton of the people and nationality of the
United States. If any such purpose or
disposition exists, it must be confined to
a very select circle of malc0ntents and
conspirators who succeed, almost mira
culously, in keeping their aims and
even existence hidden from those around
them. But it is my opinion that no
such purpose or disposition exists, and l
give the opinion to the public for what
it may be worth, trusting shall not be
deemed optrusive or impertinent in so
doing. Very truly yours,
M. +. CONWAY.

about nineteen years of age, of rather

CANADA AND THE FENIANs.

There Is no abatement of the agitation
in. Canada relative to the apprehended
Fenian raid and uprising. On the con-
trary, it increases and vigorous measures
have been resorted to by the authorities.
Toronto, the correspondent of the New
York Herald in that city, states, as well
as other important places in the pro-
vince, is, in effect, under martial law,
the volunteers having been called out
on last Thursday night, double guards
being placed around the public build
ings and on all the approaches to the
town, the streets being doubly picketed,
and other precautions being resorted to.
The correspondent reiterates his pre-
vious statement, which, he says, will
soon be made manifest, that the Fenians
have on Lake Ontario fast steamer
carrying twelve guns, and the belief is
extensive that they have in their ranks
many Professionals and government Of
ficers. The Orangemen are arming
throughout the province, as they have
been admonished in their newspaper
organs and by manifesto from one Of
their leaders that the Fenian demon
stration will certainly be made. The
Orange organ in Toronto calls on the
bank officers to look well to the safety
of their property, and intimates that
high government officials wink at the
operations of the brotherhood. Cana
dian business, in all branches, is severe
ly feeling the effects of the scare. The
Toronto Waterman, a paper in the in
terest of the Orangemen, says:
We have now in our possession por-
ton of the intended programme of the
Fenian nOdus Operandi in reference to
Canada, and hence we are i'm position
to corroborate Mr.. Perreault's statement
as to their intentions of raid on Cana
da at an early day. We are still in COM
municatiOn with certain party OH this
subject, and as soon as We have learned
all we can we will give the public the bene-
fitof our inquiry. In the meantime we
advise the banks to be careful and place
their property under protection, and Of
ficers in command should be careful as
to the character of the men who act as
sentinels, as, from our present knowl-
edge. the Fenians calculate on great
things-first, from rebel soldiers i'm her
Majesty's service, and q smash on the
banks will put them, they think, in pos.
session of extensive funds whereWithal
to carry on their plans. Now, this is

The CHOLERA. The New York
Evening Post has, in reference to the
cases of cholera on the ship Atlanta,
now in quarantine below New York,
the following judicious remarks:
But, whatever may be thought Of these
cases on board ship, there is no doubt
that the scouts of the advancing cpl
demic nave arrived upon our, shores. 1t
may be mild, it may not be contagious,
it may be checked by the approach of
winter, but neither of these points are
clear, and such as it is, it is here. We
cannot rely upon the season for ex-
emption, for, when the disease came in
lS4S, it remained from December till
late in the next year. and in 1880 it
ragged in st. Petersburg with frightful
violence during the entire winter. At
fine best, as the London Lancet says,
"the experience of previous epidemics
proves that the several local outbreaks
of the disease in the autumn have pre-
ceded the great epidemic Eruption in
the following year. This was the case
in 1880 and 1S53-4.n We may, there
fore, get it in the spring if we make our
escape this fall.

THE EARTHQUAKES AT SAN FRAN
CISCO. The San Francisco papers fur
nish additional particulars of the effects
of the severe earthquake shocks ex-
perienced in that city on the Sth and 9th
of last month. There were six distinct
disturbances of the earth, the first five
occurring during the afternoon and
night of the Sth, at little before |, and
at 4, 7 and 10 o'clock, and the sixth at
half-past 10 i'm the forenoon of the 9th.
The water front of the city, comprising
the main business streets, which are to
a considerable extent located on made
ground, suffered the most, nearly all
the buildings here being to some extent
shattered, and some of them thrown
down and completely ruined. The
back and high part of the town, where
all the best private residences are stu
ated, suffered only in the cracking of
plastering and walls, breaking of glass,
&c. Tn the southwestern part of the
city the oscillations were so great that
extensive assures were made in the
earth. The same earthquake was felt
with more or less severity at various
places throughout the State of Califor-

JEFFERSON DAvIs's TRIAL.

Although we think the trial of Mr..
Davis is assigned for an early day, we
continue to publish the newspaper gos-
sip upon the subject. The reader ex-
poets this.
Chief Justice Chase has notified the
President that, after thorough and care
ful examination into the whole ques-
ton, he cannot preside over the court
for the trial of Jefferson Davis in the city
of Richmond. The reason he assigns is
that there is no regularly organized
court in that city.
On Monday, President johnson gave
audience to a numerous delegation of
ladies from Baltimore, deputed to pre-
sent petition signed by fifteen thou
sand ladies', seeking the Executive
clemency in behalf of Jefferson Davis
Mrs. Coleman, daughter of the late
lamented John j. Crttenden, addressed
the President in feeling and appropriate
terms, TO which he responded in most
felicitous manner, regretting that public
policy prevented his yielding to their
persuasive and touching Arguments
The interview was a protracted one and
of the most agreeable character, and the
fair petitioners left the city, carrying
with them the most pleasurable impress
sions of the President. In declining,
the President regretted that the national
character of the question restrained all
private sympathy which they might
have awakened i'm him, and made the
important statement that complete ar
rangements have been made for the
early legal trial of Mr.. Davis, according
to the laws of the land. .
The Norfolk correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes:
His correspondence with the counsel
he has selected for the approaching trial
flor, il it ever comes, 1t is surely APP
preaching, is large, and every argument
found in his favor will undoubtedly be
brought out. His friends here seem to
have the impression that the President
is opposed to trying him before mill
tary commission, though several of the
Cabinet are in favorof that mode. They
assert that he is of the same belief him
self Whatever the feeling against him
in the North may be, there is undoubt-
edly a strong feeling in his favor
throughout the South. Some of the
prominent men of this State have al
ready exerted themselves strongly in
his behalf, while even in Maryland,
further North---iu Baltimore, indeed
there are petitions circulating, which
receive numerous signatures. The ladies
in many cases are the principal movers
in this matter, eide Holly Springs,
Montgomery, New Orleans, Memphis,
Abbeyille, s. G., Raleigh, etc., etc.

THE QUESTION STATED.

In all the newspaper discussion on
the question of indemnity for property
destroyed by the Alabama and other
British cruisers that we have read,
we have not seen the point SO we'll put
as in the New York Herald. That
Journal maintains thatif nation refuses
to repair or give satisfaction for an in
jury, the injured party may seize things
belonging TO the wrong doer and apply
them to his own use, until he is paid
the amount that is due, with damages /;
or he may detain them as a security
until full satisfaction is given. This Is
a well established right, and to put it in
force letters of reprisal may be granted
to those persons who have suffered the
injury. Grotius, Vattel and Azuni fully

offered on terms that will provide for the
comfortable subsistence of the laborers,
removing them from the vices of idle
ness and from dependence on charity,
they should be treated as Migrants if
they do not accept it and the rules of
the Bureau applicable in such cases
should be rigidly enforced. While the
Freedmen must and will be protected
in their rights, they must be required to
meet these first and most essential con-
ditions of state of freedmen, q Visibie
means Of support, and fidelity to con-
tracts. ~ sg sf
Every faithful officer of this Bureau
will understand that, in attending to the
duty here indicated, he is securing, at
once, the best good of the Freedmen, in
whose interest the Bureau was created,
and of the country, whose peace and
prosperity it is equally bound to pro-
mote. The good of all classes require
that the lands should be refenced and
cultivated; but it is impossible for the
farmer to pursue this work successfully,
unless he can rely upon his laborers to
remain with him to the end of their en-
gagements. o. BROWN.

THE Time for the

A DISH IN SEASON. The time for the
manufacture of the favorite article of
food vulgarly called Sauerkraut has ar
rived, and "cutters' and ''stompers'
are in great demand. Sauerkraut, years
ago, was considered dish for ''ple-
bians only, but it has gradually worked
its way forward, and is rapidly becom-
ing fashionable among the "patricians."
This season, however, the indispensable
adjunct, pork, is unusually high, with
no prospect of decline. In the inte-
rior of the State fat hogs are now bring
ing from $1S to 500 per hundred pounds,
and scarcely to be had even at this high
figure. Very little pork, it is thought,
will be put up this winter, owing to the
