the State, and the State went through 'n0
absurd form Of paying directly out OF the
treasury moneys purportingto be appro-
priated out OF a lost fund.
1t is, indeed, time that the Legislature
should consider it lost, and cease TO speak
AZ Il. Il was a needless complication oil
financial operations of the State treasury
and has becn the means OF no little decep-
ton. Nothing about the receipts ana u's
burscmcnts of the Treasury is so dc''' "'''
as simplicity. There is, properly 'p,aN
inc bp, one "fund," and that is the puoilc
,rsooure in the custody of the financial
.soor &c the Government. 1t Is made up
hv taxation. and It should be disbuTsed IN
name. as ii IS in fact, directly out OF the
Treasury. Then there can be no mistake,
no confusion. When the State is able 10
appropriate money to common Schools let
il he done directly out Of the Treasury.
Fverybody understands that. There should
he no delusion allowed for the sake OF
nloasiny some theoretical old gentlemen
toucbing the making of crime tributary 10
educqti0n. Fines are but trite offsets to the
expense of the administration Of justice
which EXPENSE must be paid by the people
in the shape of taxes; and therefore 'l.e
fines belong of right to the "puhlic luna.
Then "good-bye" TO the literary fund'"
Let us be more practical and more direct
hereafter.

The Time for Practical Legislation.
The Legislature Of Virginia, famous Tor
it's craftsmanship concerning national poll
tics and constitutional law, has never DIS
plavcd any unusual amount Of practical
wisdom OH the subject Of the physical I'M
provement and development Of the re-
sources Of the State. Since the people
who have now possession OF the Federal
Government have relieved Us of all parti-
CITATION in its direction, we have nothing OF
A legislative character for the representa-
tive BODY to consider, save our own do
nestle concerns. The fact is certainly
sort of consolation for the deprivation and
Injustice inflicted in the denial Of repre-
senta,ion in body imposing taxation and
law upon our people. 1t is to be hoped
that our Legislature will avail themselves
of the opportunity TO study the local in
tcrcsts of their own State, and how they
are to be most successfully promoted. II
at such time they can discover that Viz
GINA has the resources and the advantages
which, properly regulated and encouraged,
may make her i'll physical force the great
est State of all now compactcd under the
Government at Washington, that will be
much gained. If to this they add the
knowledge how to direct her domestic
measures to accomplish this great result,
they will have done what may go far 10
compensate US for our present injuries and
disabilities in the relation of our State to
the national family of States. That We
should here have manufacturing and com
mcrcial communities of great extent, con
Stunning the products of prosperous agrl
culture and converting into wealth the
vast mineral riches now lying dormant il
the earth, is fact none deny; and yet w
find in Virginia no system, no harmonious
scheme for accomplishing that desidcra
tum. The sections are taking care o
MISUNDERSTANDING and dispensing
the wealth of the State to enrich commu-
mites beyond her borders. In this way
Virginia never can be powerful. She
learned how to be Great in other days; but
there is new Heaven and new Eartl
youchsafed to mankind in this America
Now, Greatness and Power are inseparable
A hard and real matter-of-fact philosoph,
has been impressed upon the public MIND
by the hand of Power, which tells III
plainly that in these times there is no hope
politically, but in strengthen solid wealtl
of means-in the force OF numbers. Ii VT
do not profit by the lesson we have learned
at the cost of untold wealth and the ex
penditure of priceless things besides, then
indeed, are we dull, stolid, and apa
thetic to a degree that should deprive III
of all sympathy, as it must doom us t.
impotency in the matters national upon thi,
continent.

A Pankrn,nt. Law.

II is an exceedingly difficult thing Tor
Congress to satisfy itself relative 10
Bankrupt Law. At the last session. scSer"i
bills were under consideration, one AFTER
another: but each was lost. TWO oi 'he'"'
,ve believe. passed the House OF Represent
tatives. but persisted in the Senate. we
do not understand this. The Bankrupt
laws that passed at former periods ior reiiei
after terrible pccuniary commissions were
mainly supported in the North. Now
when the aw-making power is altogether
IN the hands of the North, they can
not he suited. Is it because they fear
| the South will derive some Dencht
from such law? This is probable !;
vet the time is not remote when IL VIII
ba much more demanded by the North
than by the South. Indeed, the South Is
MT asking for such a law, and is not at all
exercised on the subject. Yet II one were
PASSED il would be of some advantage u
her.
A wise law adopted for permanent ope-
ration TO enable the bankrupt to lDera'e
himself from the thraldom OF debt, AFTER
,he honest surrender Of all the property he
holds, would he productive of great Dene-
lit 10 the active and industrious. us
moral advantages would he very conside-
rabIe, while it would cherish the energy
and inspire the hope of men who have the
rourarc and industry to begin life anew
,f,ar the disasters of trade have bereft them
of property.
The equal operation OF uniform law OF
bankruptcy in all the States would be
highly beneficial, whilst the resort to
such law as temporary cXpedient--aS
was the case with the laws heretofore
adoptcd in this country-will always
be productive Of great evils. Congress
ought to give the country a welI-coh-
sidcrcd, practical bankrupt law. 1t
need not be afraid to bcstow such u
boon on the northern people. Very iit1le
change can be wrought on ultimate re-
suits in the South by such a law. The
tendency and termination of individual
fortune here can be but slightly affected
by it. A large part of the southern debt
ors must at last 60 into liquidation; and
with many, death is the only bankrupt law
that can ever afford relief. We should
diScredit the idea of the existence of any
such influence as the fear Of doing little
good to the southern people by the pas
sage of such law, were 1t not for the
malice and hatred towards them daily ex-
hibited in the Federal Congress.

The Railroad Freights

Early in the session, Mr.. TURNER, OF
Rappahannock, introduced into the House
OF Delegates OF Virginia bill Tor inc
regulation. Of "express transportation
over railroads. The object of tins OH IS
70 limit the character and amount OF ex-
press frcights upon passenger and mall
trains--to limit the speed OF trains, other
than these, transporting freight-to limit
the charges made by express agents Tor
goods transported by them to certain per-
centaye over and above what is charged by
the railroad companies upon the same ar
ticlcs transported upon regular ire's"'
trains of said companies and furthcr' 'na'
said agents shall not charge additional COM
pcnsa,ion for receiving and delivering
goods confded TO them to be expressed
to prohibit express companies from carry
ing more than fue hundred pounds OF
freight on any passenger train at one time
and from carrying any one package cX-
ceeding two hundred pounds, unless 1t be
coin or bullion-to enforce uniform charges
for express Heights, and prescribing fine
of not less than 800 for any violation OF
the provisions of the bill BY any corpora
ton, association, or agent.
The measure is important, and deserves
careful deliberation. The general objects
are commendable, though it IS prooaoi"
the bill will undergo some changes IN the
House. The limitation of express freight
on passenger trains to five hundred po"""'
is rather too CONSTRUCTED.
Another proposition for equal'z'os
frciebts as nearly as possible, and Tor pro-
tecting the local interests of the State
from injurious determinations in bchaii OF
through freights from cities OUTSIDE 'he
Commonwealth, is in preparation. MS
too, requires the most patient and thorough
consideration. OF course the views oil
experienced railroad men will be consulted.
Mr.. WmrcoMB's iudicious outline OF regnia-
tons that might be enacted into law for the
EQUALIZATION of freights, and the facllita-
ton of transportation taking its way over
two or more railroads, was very fair, and
if followed out by practical enactments,
would accomplish the main object OF pro
tecting the public and the commercial
communities against injustice, and at the
same time achieve the important end OF
encouraging production and facilitating |
commerce.

DR.. WATsoN's CAsE.-The Richmond
correspondent of the New York HTad
refers in his last letter to the killing OF the
negro by DR.. WATSON as an offence OF very
grave character, and censurcs the Virginia
courts for their prejudiccS against colored
people. 1t was without reference to DR..
WATsoN's guilt or innocence, as we have
said more than once, that the press and
people of Virginia claimed his discharge
from military custody. 1t was because if
the military had the right to try him, they
had the right to try the most innocent man
in the Commonwealth. 1t was because we
knew that military commissions which
punish civilians are themselves criminals,
felons, murderers, depending upon the
punishment inflicted.

The Literary Fund.

Governor PERPoINT, in his generally
very practical and wise message to the Le-
pislature at the commencement of the pre-
sent session, showed that the literary fund
was myth. 1t has, indeed, no real exist
cnce. and was always an absurd measure,
belonging to that class OF financial inven-
tiops which serve but to conplicate trea-
sury estimates without adding or Gimin-
fishing the aggregate OF the public fund, or
altering in any manner the mode OF raising
money for public uses. The only mode for
doing that is by taxing it ont OF the pock-
cts of the people, however we may endea-
yor to obscure the fact. Governor TAzE-
WELL many years ago called the attention
of the Legislature to the folly Of keeping
up such accounts as that of the literary
fund, but little attention was paid to his
suggestions. We do not know the history
Of the literary fund, bu; il originated in a
very fayorite cOnceit Of some worthy and
estjmable old Virginia statesman for ma
king the crime of the State contribute to
the education of the people. The fines i'm
posed for violations of law, and for deiin-
quencies of one sort and another, were all
the property Of the literary fund, and were
passed 10 Its credit. This fund was, ac-
cordlng 10 law, invested, and has been, as
Governor PEIRPoINr shows, all lost. A
great part of 1t was simply borrowed by
