\ New PLAN PROPOSED. Amid all the
controversy about license laws, the Albany
Argus suggests the plan Of leaving the sale Of
liquors free and licensing drinkers, as it is the
drinking, not the selling, that does the mis-
chief. The license should provide that mo
man should be entitled to drink unless he first
got license; and any bar keeper who should
sell to an unlicensed party should be subject to
fine and imprisonment. The license should be
annual; and the sum charged should be from
$50 to 500. No young man should be allowed
license till he was sixteen, and then and until
twenty-one years Of age, onlya beer license at
moderate charge. After twenty-Onc he could
vote, drink and chew tobacco upon payment Of
license and the same privilege should be ex-
tended to strong minded women. Some men
whose constitutions utterly unfit them for pota-
tons, should be refused license altogether.
They are 'nou-insurabc. Before taking out
his license citizen would have time to reflect
and as they would have to pay in advance torthe
glorious privilege, the reflection would be forced
upon most people. 1t is true that with these
parchment privileges, We should have titular
nobility of drink but lofty as this aristocracy
might be at night. and in the wee sma' hours
of the morning, the next day it would be ahjcct
enough! There need be no fear to our demo
cratic institutions from class privileged to these
mutations, at the penalty Of such dcprcsslons. "

The Two GREAT LINES. The bills propos-

Improvement on the north and south side Of
James river were on Saturday in the House of
Delegates made the order of the day for to. day.
There is now hope that they will both pass,
together with a bill of considerable Importance
to enable the Central road, in case of failure
of the attempt at consolidation with the Gov
ington road, to use the road bed Of the Gov
ington and Ohio railroad for continuation Of
its road at least to the State line, trusting to
West Virginia to continue it further. The
Central agreeing to surrender the road to any
future company completing the Covngton and
Ohio road upon condition that she has REIN
bursed her outlay in building the same. This
will be means of saving the work that is
done, which, unused, must in great part 90 to

THE PUBLIC DEBT OF FlRGINiA.-BOth
Houses Of the Legislature were on Saturday
delibcrating upon measures for the payment Of
the interest on the public debt The difference
between these members who advocate return
to the payment Of interest on the debt Is mainly
as to whether the State shall assume the pay
ment Of the whole or of onlya part of the public
debt The bill discussed 10 the House, which
was reported by the Committee of Finance, is
based upon the suggestions of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts and was prepared by Judge
Crump. The bill, however, dlscardS the Sug-
ccstion Of the Auditor relative to resumlng the
payment Of interest only upon two thirds Of
the public debt, leaving the remaining third
unpaid until it IS asccrtaincd how much West
Virginia is to pay One OF its features is he
coming quite popular-that Of exchanging the
stock held by the State in the public works for
the State bonds This plan Of reducing the
public debt is Incorporated in the two great
internal improvement bills Of the House. and
the probability is that they will pass.
Mr.. Scawcll offered a substitute for the bill
sustained by Judge Crump, which proposes
that the State shall on the lst July begin the
payment of the accruing semi annual interest
at the rate two-thirds or four per cent. per
annum the bill assuming that it is proper to
pay at that rate until the question Of the rela-
tive proportions Of the public debt incumbent
upon Virginia and West Virginia is settled
A third party in the Legislature opposes any
payment Of interest until the question between
Virginia and West Virginia on this important
subject is settled
We have no idea OF the relative strength Of
the three parties. There has been no vote in
the House Ehc Senate has had some skir-
mi>hes on side issues, but rot yet upon the
direct issues between the committees bill and
Mr.. McRacs substitute, which, we take it,
are the principal competing propositions.
As far as We are able to Judge. the majority
will favor the resumption Of the payment OF
partial Interest," e., partial interest on the
whole debt. or a two-thirds interest, leaving
the one third until the question between West
Virginia and Virginia is settled. II those con-
curing with Judge Crump that Virginia
should assume the whole debt, arc defeated
they will join the party advocating the two
thirds policy Richmond Di&pntch.
