STATE INTEREST AND OFFICEs.-In an
swer to ga Subscriber" we have to say
that we see no earthly chance for the pay
ment of the July interest on the Virginia
debt at present, nor will We undertake to
say when any interest will be paid. The
State revenues are no more reliable than
are the political events of these times. a
great change-a revolution, indeed-must
take place before there can be much i'm
proyement, and before the resources of the
State can be increased.
With regard to county offices and the
general administration of the State, we con-
lecture there will be no change. The evil
dent confusion and disorder which must
follow change in the State local executive
offices will no doubt stay any purpose Of
making such change for the present.
Virginia is suffering quite enough. We
hope and believe that for awhile she is
to be let alone-ouietly to await the develop
nents rapidly coming upon us.

HUys1curT on "THE GREAT MISTAKE. =
We clip the following from the NeU Nd''on
of yesterday:
"If the vast amount of money which mas
been spent in creating and keeping up the
Freedmen's Bureau had been spent I'D ouy-
ing up lands and giving permanent MONIES
to the poor and destitute OF both races .ns
results would have been permanent anu
lasting. As it is, the destitute OF ootn races
Will be left almost as helpless and depend
emit when the Bureau closes as they were
when the Bureau first began to reiieTe
them. Thousands of small homes mlgnt
have been purchased in all sections OF the
South, the poor and dependent could nave
been conveyed to these several localities,
and implements of agriculture furnished
them, and they could have been put 10
work, and by this time could have oeen
able to u Ike care of and support themselves.
AS it is, the poor remain poor, will be iefs
Door, and completely at the mercy, OF the
iandholders. We by no means wish to De
considered as fsult-fnder, but we 20 thlnk
O. great mistake has been made.'
We don't know what has got into HuNS1-
CUT; but this is as frank as 1t 's
damaging to Radioalism.

fSo,1th Carolina,

None of the States under Radical tyranny
suffer so severely as South Carolina. Very
many of her people are seeking homes in
yireinia-where they are so heartily well
come. and where we trust they will find re-
lief from their afiictions-or, at least, as
much consolation as can come to the stricken
hearts of those who are compelled by intol-
cradle oppression, and the poverty that flows
from it, to leave their own land and seek
shelter elsewhere! Numbers Of these
worthy people are in the Valley and In
West Virginia near the Alleghanies. From
the sad stories of these citizens we can fully
appreciate the dark picture of social and
political affairs drawn by the Charleston
Courier. That paper says:
"There are persons, and many of the
white race, whose fathers formed this 90
yernment, who are prosecuted and driven
from the State 1t is not, however, by the
Democratic but by the Radical kuklux.
Thousands of our citizens are to-day under
Radical and an ignorant negro rule, Aliens
and strangers upon their own soil. Thou
sands of others are now residents OF New
Fork and other States, exiles from their
homes, under the penalties, disabilities, and
prescriptions of this Radical Kuklu1."
awe only wish it were possible for the
people of the whole North, without regard
to party, to visit our State for few weeks
and observe for themselves, and we venture
the opinion that Republicans .! and Demo Demo,
Gratis alike would for the first time realize
the political bondage to which the people OF
this State are subjected, and the nloeous
structure erected over their liberties and
rights"
We are sorry to believe that there are
thousands of people of the North who would
gloat with delight over this scene of horror
while not one of that great party called
Radical would relax in the slightest the
tyrannical and brutal rule which has effect
ed this disastrous result.

THE NEGRO BRADLEY.-The black felon
who has been making 30 much noise in
Georgia, ALPEoRA BRADLEY-as has
been already stated, has declared himself q
candidate for Congress. He was senator
in the State Legislature, and resigned in
consequence of the investigation that was
instituted into his character. Acknow-
lodging by his resignation that he was not
fit for the Georgia Senate, he Immediately
sets up for Congress, evidently under the
impression that a graduate Of Sing Sing is
entitled to q seat in that body. We copy
his address ,..-. ~
"7o the Voters of the First Congressional
District:
"Your most humble servant and friend
has been requested, and under the circum-
stances do accept his chance for noznirsa-
ton, and his better chance to receive his
friends votes, to make him the representa-
tive in the Congress of the United States
after the 4th of March, 1869.
GA. ALPEoRA BRADLEY"

The FEEJEEs.-The "greatest nation in
creation" some time ago demanded $4,000
indemnity from the King of the Feejee
Islands. This was for property belonging
to citizens of the United States which it
was alleged had been destroyed or despoiled
by the Kings subjects. The sum was
utterly beyond the reach of the impecunious
King; but that did not matter. Uncle Sam
said he would be darned to darnation If it
must not be paid. soth poor Feejee King
had to be "did " to raise it. He had mort
gagged three islands for the s45, 900, and it
was expected that the United States would
seize them; but "joint stock company"
of Melbourne, Australia, kindly interposed,
took the islands, and paid the money. This
intervention from that quarter is not so
agreeable to this country. The establish
ment of go large British interest there
may lead to British protectorate. The
Feejee King is tired Of the cares Of State,
and wishes to surrender his responsible
ties to some great Power. England is always
obliging in such cases.
Thus 20 the poor Indian races.

that any election will be held in Virginia

which we would most earnestly advise all
laboring Republicans, as well as all labor

preparation to secure the necessary comforts

be no abandonment of principle by any one.

THE OMNIRua RTI,L. A LAW.


The bill recently passed by both houses Of
Congress for the immediate admission iHto
the Union of Louisiana, Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, North and South Carolina was
yesterday vetoed by the President, and
Immediately repassed both houses by the
required two-thirds vote, and is now the
law of the land. No other man who ever
sat in the Presidential chair would so per-
sistently interpose opposition to the will Of
the people as Andrew johnson has done.
His treatment of the omnibus bill, as. it is
called, seems to have been inspired
entirely by spirit of faction. The
example of the Arkansas bill, which
contained the same principles, would have
warned statesman not 10 repeat the folly
of veto so soon. But Mr.. johnson is
neither statesman nor patriot; be is
only a very weak-minded, wrong-headed
Democrat, and no such man is fit to rule.
With the law on our side we shall hence
forward, as we hope, find plain sailing.
And we expect the new civil government
will be permitted to perform its duties in
peace, SO that it may never be compelled
to resort to coercive measures to maintain
its lawful authority.

REooNeTRUoTBp LOUISIANA.

About seven years ago band of rebel
conspirators assembled in the city of Baton
Rouge, In this State, ana, contrary to the
wish Of the majority Of our citizens, at
tempted to dissolve the relations which
bound US to the Union. They succeeded
SO far as to plunge the State into rebellion
against tie Federal government, reduce
the people from prosperity to poverty and
misery, and TO secure the Introduction Of
vast armies from States loyal to the Union,
in order to enforce submission to the au-
thority Of the national government. These
armies while here were in great part
subsisted upon the products Of the State.
The terrible experiences Of our citizens
from The days Of the war until now are 80
engraven upon their memories that they
need not be portrayed in cur columns.
AT the close Of the dreadful struggle,
when Lee bad surrendered his sword TO
Grant, and when the nation was heaying
with agony, the great Lincoln was as
sassinatsd, and Andrew johnson was 40
cidenaily elevated 70 the Presidency. II
