a Plan to Pay the State War
Debts.

Comptroller Hillhouse, of New
York has written letter to Senator
Morgan, proposing that the General
Government should assume the pay
ment of the war debts of the seversl
States, argning that iBasmuch IS
these debts were incurred fer COM
men national purpose, thay should
be paid cut Of the common fund Mr..
Hillhouse also proposes plan for
their payment, which is that the in
come tax, amounting last year to
sixty millions, be set apart for the
liquidation of these claims. The
amsHnt would be sufficient for the
object, and not greater than the Gov
ernment could easily spare. So long
as the taxes of the General Govern
ment continue as heavy as at prea-
ent, it is next to impossible for the
States to raise from their already
over-burdened citizens the means for
paying their several war debts. But
on the plan suggested by Mr.. Hill
house, the thing could easily be
dsne.

The Govington and Ohio Rail
Road.

On the outside Of this issue will be
found an article on the Big Sandy
Railroad that may prove interesting
to many of our readers. The origi-
nal design, we believe was to con-
meet this read with the Covirgten
and Ohio, and the Lexington Stand
ard of late date, speaking OF the
latter road says the line from Ceredo
just opposite Catlettsburg, at the
mouth Of the Big Sandy, to Charles
ton, West Virginia, fifty miles is un-
der contract, and the contractor, Mr..
King, of railroad notoriety, has
promised to have % miles done by
spring. For our part we cannot see
the object of running this railroad to
Big Sandy, when it can be built much
cheaper TO Point Pleasant, run
through far more fertile and richer
country, and by building a road from
either Gallipolis or Pomeroy to
Hamden on the Marietta and Gin
climate road make better connection
with all Western roads, and equally
as good with Southern roads as 10
run it to Big Sandy. A late dispatch
from Richmond informs us that it is
announced Oh the best authority
that contract viii be closed with
New York capitalists before the first
of January, for the com eletion Of the
Covinston and Ohio railroad within
two years. and from this, we think,
the announcement premature that
Mr.. King has contracted to complete
the road between Charleston and
Ceredo. Ifthose men who command
capital and are interested in the de-
of the Kanawha Valley
would use q little exertion we are
confident they could secure the road
down the Valley to this place. We
hope they viii give this matter their
serious consideration, and not let
his opportunity pass to grasp the
wealth within their reach.-Pt Pleas

We annex some items as showing
this improved tone Of feeling,
From the Richmond Enquirer,
WAsHlseroE, Dec. 20.
A very important movement is on
foot for the admission of excluded
States upon the adoption of the Con

with leading Radical Senators and
members on the subject. Hereturn-

the State should be admitted upon

Of thirte N daily papers in Georgia, on

Yankees-support the reconstruction poll

refusal of the Georgia people to give them
countenance or support, they have hther-
to maintained a precarious existence by
passing the hat around up North.
The telegraph this morning announces
that the order issued by General Pope, a
few days ago, by which all official adver-
tisements, orders (la'cs), &c, are to be in
serted in their columns, where the people
of Georgia will never see them, is now
being carried out for their benefit and for
the reliefof the Radical pocket.
This reminds us of another old tyrant
that We have somewhere read of. who
posted his new laws so high that his sub
jects could not read them, and then pun
ished them for not observing them.
But we suppose the Radicals will hardly
now have the face to howl so loud about

supporting their ticket, when, in the same
region, they are thus taking work away
from 'chae men for not doing it, and OPP

A plot has been brought to light to im-
of Lincoln, coacocted by Ashley and But
Ter. Sanford Conover, sentenced to the
Pententiary for perjury, makes the state
ment that Ashley had proposed to him to
procure his pardon if he (Conover) would
furnish witnesses for AshIey's purpose
The statement desired to be sworn to was
drawn up by the latter, aud splendid re-
wards" were offered to the persons who
would swear to its truth. The purport OF
this statement was that the President cor
responded with Booth and otherwise par
ticipated in the conspiracy against Lincoln.
Ashley's letters to Conover upon the sub.
ject are made public.
1t is true that Conover is perjurer, but
he committed that crime in the interest of
the radicals, and some circumstances con-
firm his statement. Butler frequently in
timated that johnson was concerned in the
scheme to kill Lincoln; Ashley asserted
that he could furnish testimony that would
convict the President !; he was before the
impeachment committee, and he failed to
furnish any facts upon which articles of
impeachment could be based and the COM
mittee decided against impeachment. At
the session of last month, the committee,
at tie instigation of Ashley, resumed the
taking of testimony, and the effort to have
Conovcr pardoned was made about the
same time. The Cincinnati Commercial,
an intensely radical paper, makes the pos
tive statement that Ashley held Interviews
,riM Conouer an prison. The oppose was
made about two weeks since, and yet no
public denial has been made by any Of the
parties implicated in Conovcrs statement.
1t is not probable that either of them would
remain silent under false accusation o.
this character.
1t is but natural that manufacturers Of
false testimony should seek the aid Of a
perjured villain, who has no compunctions
of conscience, to implicate innocent par
ties in any crime their interests may re-
quire, Conover is known to be an adroit
criminal which no doubt accounts for his
having been selected by the consplrators
to advance their Infamous projects.
