ruthlcssly pitches overheard tho Blue Ridge
Railroad, which little while ago was the
only thing that could save and redeem the
Stale. The people arc promised lower taxes,
sinking fund is recommended, and as q
matter OF Justice TO the creditor, it is urged
that the interest on the debt in future le
paid i'll coin. IL is proposed 10 go into the
market and buy gold with which TO pay the
interest on the debt. And this move, which
would ut onco increase by tsneaty-fpe per
cent. the money paid for interest," which
would add one-fourth to that class OF taxa
ton, will, We are told, DO great step TO-
ward the resumption Of specie payments and
assist 'thc able Secretary Of the Treasury"
in bringing Sold TO par. This ia worthy of
