Relief for DEBTORS,


There are certain stern and inexo-
rable facts now to be dealt with in the
political economy of our country, that
demand calm and serious considera-
tion. These touch the relation be-
tween debtor'and creditor. 1t is i'm
possible to divide these into two sepa-
rate and distinct classes, because the
probability is that the majority of in
dividuals belong to both. But for
this reason those facts are all the
more important. And any general
principle underlying this relation
must have more or less bearing upon
the case of every individual. Even if
few are both creditor and debtor,
there are very few who are not one or
the other.
The first great fact is that in 1860
the assets Of debtors were far more than
sufficient to meet all their liabilities.
The second great fact is that in
1856 the liabilities of debtors are far
ahead of their assets, and therefore of
their ability to meet them. ,
These facts are so palpable that
they may be said to be self-evident.
Their mere statement is their proof.
The third great fact is that the
property upon which in 1860 the
credits were founded, was tho result.
ant accumulation of the industry and
enterprise Of half a century.
The fourth great fact is that the
great excess of the liabilities over as
sets is sudden effect produced in the
short period Of less than six years.
From the two first facts, that in
1860 the liabilities could have been
more than met by the assets, while in
1866 the assets will have been wholly
exhausted long before the liabilities
are reached, We draw this conclusion,
viz: THAT EVEN If CREDIroRs DO
ENTER THE CoURrs TO TAKE EVERY
ADVANTAGE OF THE ABSENCE OF THE
Stay LAW, BY NO POSSIBLE CHANCE CAN
THEY RECOVER THE WHOLE AMOUNT OF
THEIR CLAIMS.
From the two last facts, that the
basis of credit in 1860 was the accu-
mutation of fifty years, while the re-
moval of that basis was the work of q
few years, we draw this conclusion,
viz /: THAT 1T WILL REQUIRE FIFTY
YEARS TO PLACE THE DEBTOR IN THE
SAME RELATION TO THE CREDITOR THAT
MUTUALLY EXISTED BETWEEN THEM SIX
YEARS AGO.
From these two conclusions it is q
clear inference that the debtor cannot
sustain the action implied in the first,
nor can the creditor endure the delay
implied in the second.
Then what is the remedy9 1t ap.
pears to us as clear as light itself that
the only possible remedy is coMpRo
MISE, COMPROMISE.
Let the creditor abate his demand
under the immediate sanction of the
law.
Let the debtor abate his petition
under the plea of time.
And let both debtor and creditor
meet upon halfway ground, the one
pledging himself to measure his claim
by the ability Of the other to pay, and

DEATH OF JOIN C. RUTHERFORD, OF
GooCuLAxD.-JoHN COLES RrTHERFooRD,
ESD, of Goochland, died at hisrcsidence, at
Rock Castle, in that county, on Tuesday
last. He was son of the late Colonel JOHN
RUTHERFORD, of this city, whose death
was supposed to have been fastened by
anxiety concerning his sons illness, and
whose dcccase preceded that of the son
only eleven days.
JOHN c. RUTHERFORD was prominent
member of the bar for number of years.
He served his county in the House OF
Delegates for twelve years, and for his
legal knowledge was session after session
appointed chairman of the Committee of
Courts of Justice. He was also during
his service chairman of the Committee on
Banks, and manifested as such thorough
acquaintance with financial matters. In
private life he was irreproachable, being a
man of great moral worth.
Mr.. RUTHERFORD was a graduate OF the
University of Virginia, at which institu-
ton he at an early age took the degree OF
Master of Arts. We know not how old
he was when he died.

THE TRANSFORM JEFFERSON AND BERkE-
LEY COUNTIES To WEST EIRGINIA.-The
editor of the Spirit Of JcferSon, published
at Charlestown, has seen copy Of the bill
in chancery which i. r. CURTIS, Esq, Of
Massachusetts, formerly an Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court Of the United
States, has prepared for the purpose of
testing the validity Of the transfer of the
counties Of Jefferson and Berkeley to the
State of West Virginia.
The two main points urged in the bill
are First, that the act of the Virginia
Legislature preliminary to the transfer, re-
quiring an election to be held for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the sense of the voters
of the counties, was not complied with,
inasmuch as the election was not held at a
time when it could be "tairly and pro-
perly held" and as polls were not opened
at "each of the election precincts in the
counties, as required by the act; secondly,
that at the time of the passage of the re-
pealing act of the Virginia Legislature in
December last there was no valid, subsist-
ing contract between the two States, and
therefore the Legislature had the legal
r;ch ,Srns, repeal-which being done, Con.
gress had no constitutional power to pass
it, act of conAent to the transfer.

,rho are seeking to render Themselves CON-
spicuous recipients Of future Federal ho'ors.
No where have the people acted-no
where have the Central Committees of
Richmond been asked by the people to act.
Politicians and aspirants have arrogatea
to themselves powers to which they nave
no more rightful claim than the man IN
the moon, and by their conduct they nave
made the very name of popular repre-
sentative government by-word ana re-
proach. The delegates appointed 10 the
Philadelphia Convention by those commit
tees have no more rightful claim TO seats
in that body as the agents of our people
than have SO many itincrant clock-ped-
lers. Some Of those sent as alternates
couldn't be elected to constable's place
in their own bailiwicks by the people.

EurOpean Affairs.

In the midst Of the interest excited by
the proceedings Of the Philadelphia Con-
vention, the public seems to have lost sight
for time of European affairs. The fol-
lowing article from the New York Times
is well calculated to recall attention to so
interesting subject:
At no period, either before or during the
sharp and decisive German conflict, has
the situation in Europe presented a darker
aspect than it does now; and unless we are
altogether deceived, the grand contest for
position, for influence, and for permanent
political ascendancy in Europe is only
just opening.
The quarrel, from being primarily Ger
man, or, in a measure, civil conflict, bids
fair to develop into Gallo-Prussian war
ostensibly for the revision of boundary
line marked out barely fifty years ago,
but in reality for the status and dignity
of leadership in Continental Europe. The
demands for territorial compensation sub
mittcd to Prussia by the French Cabinet
are to be met, according to semi-oticial
Berlin journal, by prompt refusal. These
demands the Prussian organ-which speaks
for Bsmarck-characteriz as "abSurd.'
1t reminds the Government Of the Empe-
ror that in the German quarrel France
has had nothing at stake. And the tone in
which this is said as clearly indicates def
ance as any semi-official utterance from
Prussia since the conflict began.
Italy, mean while, will apparently cease
to continue q party to the quarrel, by the
ccssion of Eenetia, to which the Govern.
ment of Vienna has consented; the term
of the armistice between that Power and
Austria having been extended. In that
result, the neS conflict wound be one In
volving the question of German solidarity
and strength as against French aggran-
dizement and modern Cfsarism. in such
a contest Bismarck would doubtless carry
with him far more of the sympathies OF
liberal men throughout the world than he
has done hitherto.

FoRNEr AGAINST FoRyEY.-The Nationo

FoRNEY AGAINST FoRNEY.-The National
Republican brings to light one of FoRNEY's
Occasional! letters, dated December 20,
1865, in which he speaks in truthful and
sensible manner of the very scheme which
he is now moving heaven and earth to car
ry out. He said:
at is not in the nature of things that
the propositions of Mr.. Stevens to hold
these States in territorial condition for
some years. or until certain amendments
of the national Constitution have been
consummatcd, can be made party test,
not to speak Of the necessity of maintain
ing under such plan military organiza-
ton, with all its incredible expenditures.
No party could be held together in the free
States in the face OF the inccssant turbu-
lcncc, dissatisfaction, and bitterness that
must spread all over the Union, as conse-
quence of 50 chaotic and unsettled a
policy"
How true, and how unlike FoRNEY.

GENERAL SICKLEs IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
If our friend of the Petersburg I'der will
recall to mind the facts that General
S1ckLEs was made a "brigadier'' in the
regular army almost simultaneously with
the removal of General TERRY from Rich
mond that General SlckLEs, like General
ScuorIELD, is not Radical: that it has
been usual to place officers of the regular
army in command of the various military
departments and draw an inference Or
two from these facts, he will be apt to con-
clude that Secretary STANTON is innocent
of the offence with which the Indec charges
him. We credit the President with the
entire programme-the removal of trou-
blesome officers, the extension of the COM
mands of good ones, and the promotion OF
General SICKLEs.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SOMERSET CorS-
~. MARYLANp.-The affair occurred at a
burial. When the relatives and friends
had assembled, young man named Hum
phreys, from Princess Anne, escorted a
relative who had recently married man
by the name of Cooper to the grave. Her
husband stopped them and threatened to
shoot him II he proceeded one step fur

to shoot any one, shoot me-" Cooper i'm
mediately drew a revolver and shot john
son through the heart. Mr.. Josiah Filings
worth attempted to restrain Cooper from
further violence, whsreupon he Cooper
turned upon and shot him through the
back, killing him in about Ave minutes.
Another of the bystanders knocked Cooper
down with chair, and tied him securely,

EDITORIAL CoURTEsIEs.-BENNETT ofthc
Herald, thus speaks his mind concerning
Marble, of the World, this latter the most
brilliant newspaper writer in New York :
"Marble is the mcanest man we have
evcrmet in the newspaper business; but we
understand that he was not brought up to
the profession Of journalism, and therefore
may, perhaps, be excused for his want OF
knowledge of the courtesies which should
prevail with gentlemen in the conduct of
respectable newspapers and the rules
which govern their action in their exalted
professional career. We believe he was
educated for a parson, and that may ac-
count in great degree for his prominent
meannesS."
