.PEACE, III VIRGINIA.

General Stoneman has just issued an
order directing all corporations, associa-
tipns, &C., which under tho laws OF Viz
GINA are required to make report every
year to the Legislature, to be submitted
to his headquarters at once. This looks
like peace and reconstruction, and the res
toration Of civil government, and all that
sort of thing, doesn't it? Just think Of
it, as one Of the fruits Of rn'l!cal rule,
that four years after the surrender of the
rebel armies, the people of Virginia are
living under government which recog-
nizcs in a Brigader general their supreme
ruler and governor in all earthly affairs.
Railroad corporations, charitable institu-
tons, colleges. schools, and all associations
Of that kind must send their annual re-
ports to the Brigadier, or to one of his
subalterns-Cnc Of those gentlemen, who,
under modern making, lave sprung
from West Point, or perhaps from behind
some dry-goods counter-ful-armed in
the panoply Of wor, like Pu,las from the
brain Of Jove. What greater condem-
nation Of radical Legislation does any man
want than the simple issue of such an Or
der as Sloheman's carries in lis face !! The
people Of Virginia arc as peacerbly dis
posed toward one another and toward the
General Government rs the people Of
Ohio are. There is no more necessity
for military ruler in one State than III
the other. And, Furthermore, what pco.
pie are pleased to call ",l.c Union can
not by any distortion Of Language he said
to exist while the people of the North
stand by without rcmons:rancc or com.
plant and sec the people Of the South OPP
pressed anil oycrridden by such "ordcrs''
as Stoncman's.

On the adoption Of that amendment,
Mr.. Pinncl demanded the yeas and nays,
and they we're ordered and taken and the
resolution rejected. Yeas 1l-nays 40.
Mr.. Pihncll then moved to add 10 tho
end of the bill the following: y
Provided, however, that this net shall
not lake effect until it shsll be ratified ly

State, at the next annual election for
State officers"
On that motion, after debate, Mr.. Car

The demand was seconded and the main
question ordered, and the amendment re.
jccted. Yeas 25-nays q.

The yes or no on question of negro
suffrage. in State, is u matter Of very
minor Importance compared to the qucs-
ton us to whether the States may manage
their internal affairs subject to the super
vision Of Congressmcn,-crcaturcso Of their
own making, or whether they may man
age them independently Of the National
Government. The two questions should
be entirely distinct. II the State Of Yves,
+ Virginia sees fit to legalze negro suffrage,

sovereign privilege; if she secs iis to re.
fuse it, let lcr-that is also privilege

IL a State refuses to enact negro, suf-
frage how can the National Government
compel it, without practically taking the
entire control Of the State and abolisliing
gil independence, not ouly as TO suffrage,
but as TO everything else that is wisely
ordained to act as q reel procal check upon
the State and National Governments?
We hope that the Legislature Of Yves,

Union, will in this matter stand by tho
wholesome guarantees of the old Consti-
tuition aud vote against the ratification OF

The Bonds.

The fact, says the Urbana
Union, should not be overlook.
ed by a tax-burdened people
that the bonded debt of the
United States has already been
more than half paid in the
shape Of gold interest, and that
the Radical policy is to keep on
paying it over and over for the
benefit of the bondholders. -
Thus: a hundred dollar bond
bought in 1868 and 1864 cost
say $40 in gold, Many of
them wore sold for $40 'and
less, But say $50, which is a
fair average. On this $50 in
gold there have already been
tive annual payments Of six
dollars each, and this makes
thirty dollars Of the $50 al
ready paid. Thus more than
half the overraid principal in
vested has already heen repaid
in interest, allowing $l5 in
gold of the above named $50
for'legal interest at six per
cent. and it leaves the other
nearly on that Of the prin'
cipal already paid. But Mr..
Grant and the public debt
stwngtheners" in Congress pro-
pose to continue This operation
for an indefinite period of time,

THE organs Of tho bondholdcrs in

The organs Of the bondhOldcTs in
Pennsylvania are particularly BIT
ter against Mr.. Packer, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, The
secret Of. Sheir hostility lies in the
fact that, although man of great
wealth, he does not belong to their
class. Having acquired his capital
in active industrial enterprises, he
has not locked it up in bonds to es-
cape his fair share of taxation, but
uses it to furnish employment to in
dustrious men, whose burdens he is
willing to share. That is not the
bondholders' style. Their prefer
ence would be q man of their own,
who draws his ,sustenanco from the
toll of the millions, and pays moth
ing towards the expense of the Co.
vernment which protects him. Gin.

Cursed is the man who hath not
dollar, for no man will borrow of
him.
He hath no friends to wound him
with kindness, and by reason Of his
poverty no man deemeth him an
enemy.
When he riseth in the morning
his spirit is not vexed, neither doth
he chink his silver and ask, How
shall l spend my money!
When he goeth to eat his palate
is not excited by many dishes, but
he eateth Of q few things and spa
ringly.
His drink is water from apitche
though bctimes hc sparreth for a
little spirit to color its purity.
Wherefore, by lowness of diet,
his health is temperate and his soul
below zero.
He goeth quietly through life, and
none care whether he live or die.
He is like weed by tho wayside,
he growcth up and beareth nothing.
He shaketh in the wind q little
while, and then dccayeth from his
own lightncss,and none care whence
he comcth or whittier he goeth.
He is a husk cast upon the green
fields, whereof none desire to par.
take; the daw turneth from him in
loathing, and the ass kicketh at him
as he passcth along.
lie is OF no value because he hath
no substance:
He consumeth little and he pro.
,Iduceth less, yet are many Of his
days full of trouble.
Providence clotheth the beasts Of
the field, lie covereth the birds
with plumage and watchotb over
the sparrows''; but who careth for
the man without q dollar?
If ho be bare who will cover his
nakedness? When it is told he is
poor every eye is turned away, and
ho is considered an unclean thing,
for whom n Jail is too wholesome.
When the rod of atlliction is laid
upon his bones, he cricth in vain,
for none will help him. His kind
flee from him, and those who hear
his cries rejoice because poor man
is suffering.
