There has sprung up suddenly Of late, in the
press of the Commonwealth, protest against
doctrines which otherwise would not have been
known beyond narrow circle, and which owe
all the importance they possess to the uniform
adherence which everywhere meets them
We allude to propositions said to have been adj
vocated somewhere, by somebody, looking to a
Reputation Of the public oebt 1t is credlta-
bic to the State that the proposition is
known to cur people only through the honest
indignation expressed by the public Journals
that there should be, even in private circles a
hint Of such an iniquity. 1t is proposal to
sell the honor of Virginia tor thirty five mil
lions Of dollars We submit to the press that
even the discussion of the question is not per-
MISSILE. The faith of Virginia, pledged by
public obligations, is the pledge word of every
man in the State. To doubt it is an in-
suit. Let the subject drop.
Inthe meantime, as an example of the manner
in which the State press have treated the mat
ter, we quote the following from the Petersburg
Index:
"REpUDIATIoN.- Thank God! it is a new
word in Virginia and North Carolina. 1t needs
explanation Let US see what it means. 1t
means that no man shall pay his brother his
just debt. It means that we shall not pay tor
the food we have eaten, tor the clothes. we
have worn, for the education we have given
our children, for the farms we till, Tor the
houses We iuhabit, for the factories we are
running, for our necsssarles or our luXurles.-
1t means that we shall lay the foundation OF
our fortunes in the stolen property OF our
neighbor, that our daughters shall wear clothes
bought with stolen money that our sons shall
commence business on the proceeds Of robbery.
It means that the honest obligations due the
widows and orphans of orr immortal dead shall
be paid, not by money, but by an Act Of AS
semby. 1t means that the man who kept US
from starvation during the long famine OF war,
shall have no claim upon us; that the poor
who shared their scanty store, as we'll as the
rich who gave of their abundance, shall never
more have claim upon us 1t means that felp-
less children, whose fathers trusted IN US,
shall be turned hungry from our doors
1t means contempt at home and dlscredlt
abroad. 1t means dishonor in life and an
inextinguishabe heritage of intamy to our child
rem after death. This is Reputation. This
is the banquet to which the people Of the
South are invited by their own kindred. We
are asked to violate law, to violate morality, to
stihe gratitude, to silence conscience, to blur
honor, to blast our fair name-al that survives
to US of value-to wrong the dead and defraud
the living, that we may save our dismantled
houses and our desoated lands. Better far
that we should 60 down to paupcrs graves, and
that cur sons should begin as our slres began,
to build up from the lowest foundation stone,
the edfce OF honorable fortune. Surely there
is courage, and principle. and pride. and
Christianity enough still left in Virginia to
stife this serpent IN its very cradle.

\ loving widower in San Francisco insists
upon keeping the corpse of his late wife in the
house with him, and the neighbors object to
it. Recently he took the corpse out of its cof-
fin, washed it carefully all over by means of a
garden hose, and replaced it fondly in its coffin.
This was too much for the aforesaid neighbors,
and they appealed to the Board of Health,
which compelled the love stricken man to inter
his departed matrimonial associate in the GEM
etery. A singular illustration of posthumous
affection.

The address or declaration Ct principles
adopted by the Cleveland Soldier and Sailor 5
Convention, reviews fully the present aspect
oG political affairs, and opposes the corstitu-
.ional amendment as being effective only of a
prolonged exclusion Of the Southern States
t.om the Union. 1t calls upon the soldiers and
sailors Of the late wer to unite together in
heir efforts to restore the Union The address
concludes as follows:
We want Union not merely in name, but a
Union in fact; not Union merely OF geogra
ohica lines. but Union of hearts Such a
Union we fought to maintain, such Union
re wish to enjoy By it alone can our nation
accomplish it's true mission and fulfill its true
destiny. So believing, we anXcusly and ear
Destly appeal to you, our former comrades in
arnIs to assist in the great work OF paclhcation.
i; appeal to you, not as democrats, not as
republicans, but as patriots and national Union
meD. Whatever others may say, you known
nat those who stood shoulder to shoulder
With you throughout four years Of terrible war
ere truly loyal.
You. at least, will never question their fdel
Jy to, and their affection for the Union and
the constitution, whatever differences ofopinion
he instruction is queed-bctwccn those who
together offered their lives as Il constant and
willing sacrifice that the life of the nation might
We saved Let no ordinations or rccrmina-
lions mar or disturb that mutual esteem which
should be ever cherished by those who have
shared common danger in con'ending for a
common cause. We were brothers during the
dark days Of the rebellion, let US maintteuds
during the brighter days of peace, and We
carried dcsolation into the South when she was
hostile and defiant, let US unite in teuderiuS to
her not only just but generous treatment HOW
that she is Subdued and diSarmcd. If we but
DO this. if we but evince the msgnanimity of
spirit always polite from the victor to the con-
cuered, the honor and pride OF the Southern
soldiers will so respond that our beloved Union
shaIl &c stronger, better, firmer than eyer be-
:ore. May the God Of our fathers, who by
lis blessings enabled them through g seven
years war, to establish Union, and we, their
children and sons, to vindicatc it in the late
terrible struggle, grant His aid and assistance
:: our efforts to establish and perpetuate it. y
