aud railroad companies, were, at that time,
estimated at something over thousand million
dollars The legal tender act operated as a
Reputation of about half of all that indebted
ness. Many of the States had, years ago, con-
tracted large debts, payable in gold, but as
soon as the legal tender act was passed by
Congress the Legislatures of all such States,
believe, but Massachusetts and California,
passed laws repudiating theirgold contracts,
as to the payment of principal and interest,
and provided that payment should be made in
United States legal tender Treasury notes.
The great States of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, took the lead in these acts of re-
pudiation the smaller States soon followed
their example. Every one of these acts were
passed by Republican State Legislatures
The bankrupt law of Congress authorizes in
dividuals to repudiate all their debts. But
very small part Of the debt made in the time
of the revolution of 1776, to aid in the estab
lishment of the independence. of the country,
has ever been paid. Nor has any war debt
in Europe been paid, that l know Of. = The
entire yield Of the gold mines of the United
States is scarcely half sufficient to pay the
interest on the debt.
"If the owners of the bonds are wise enough,
they will make haste to accept the proposition
to take legal tender Treasury notes in pay
ment as proposed on behalf ofthe Democracy;
otherwise, they will learn it is too late, when
they shall find Congress that will make no
provision for the payment of interest. l do
not believe the people of the United States
wish to be forced to the alternative of repudi-
alton, but come it will, sure and speedy, unless
the interest is reduced, the bonds taxed and

will adopt measures to bring about any such
result [ can see none. The members of
both branches of Congress and the Secretary
of the Treasury have all the time legislated
and acted in the interest of the bond holders.
They have acted more like attorneys for, and
partners with those who are making fortunes
out of the calamities of the country, than like
epresentativesOf the people and guardians of
their rights and interests. 1t is difficult to
make any change for the worse it may be
made for the public good"

glutted the demand for shipment is nearl y

depressed, and as an instance we may cite the
sale of cargo of No. 2 heart cypress at So

ample of the manner in which the Northern

MURDER IN WISE COUNTY Y-Tho Abing-
don Nrgtntan gives the following particulars
of cold, blooded murder in Wise county:
On Monday last, man by the name of
White, went to the house of Dan Hall, in
Wise county, and proposed to hire to work for
Hall, and they together with Halls little boy,
went out to the field to look at some work
Hall wanted done, and started back towards
the house to complete the contract for the
work White was walking behind Hall with
a musket on his shoulder. They had trav
eled but very short distance when White
placed the muzzle Of the gun within few
inches of Halls back and fired. Hall fell,
hallowed twice, and expired. 1t is not known
that there had ever been any difficulty be-
tween the parties, either before or at the time
of the murder. The matter all seems to be
wrapped up in mystery. White deserted the
Federal army some time during the war and
has been living in the neighborhood ever
since. lie has escaped to parts unknown.

THE, ARCHIVES OF THE CoNFEDERACY.-
1t is fact generally we'll known that the
War Department is in possession of large
number of documents known as the COnfeder-
ute Archives. Tho most important papers,
however, those embracing the diplomatic cor
respondence of the Government with foreign
Governments, have never been unearthed, and
it is now stated, on what appears reliable au-
thorty, that they were sent to Canada few
weeks before the fall of Richmond, in charge
of Davis private secretary. An ex- x-Confede-
rate officer testifes that, in 1867, these ar
cRives were sealed and deposited in the vaults
of bank in Montreal. These documents are
said to be valuable as affecting the Alabama
question, and showing to what extent Eng
land was committed to the Confederacy. The
latter's diplomatic history is quito mystery,

Some men are SO selfish hey never would
If the earth was desert ard nobody
there;
For the drear barren waste would be sweet
70 their heart,
If they thought with their money tbev
never should part,
Then other men think that to part with
their dimes;
For things of improvement that belong to
the times;
These new tangled notions are useless they
say
They are opposed to all progress, it really
don'tpay.
That they ever could read, they regret with
a sigh,
It costs 50 much money, their papers to
buy;
Ihey are anxious to save all the profits they
make
But they read all the papers that other men
'AAs'
Just ask such man if he'll advertise,
He will reach for his purse, and open his
eyes:
He will tell you in earnest. he never did
know
Any good that resulted, from making a
show,
And surely for them, why bless their dear
souls.
They have shingles plenty and lots of
black Goals;
They will PuItsr around, like a ship in a
gale,
And print on a ahingle their goods are "Sor

But mind you one thing, when other men
plan.
To drive o. their business, and do what
ihey can,
And when others start off, they never will
fail,
To be first to grab hold of their Deighbor's
coat tail
The course of their reasoning. runs in this
wise, Fol
The ren that live resr them will snre sd-
vertise-
And when the trade comes, they stand in
the way,
And reach for the fruit for which other men
ray.
But time VIII roll, on and for no one will
wait,
And when it is flushed these men will be
late;
A free ride to Heaven they'll be trying to
fad,
And the same then as now they Il sure be
behiud.
Like the five foolish virgins, without any
light.
they will wander around, in the darkness of
night;
Should you send them candle to light up

Be sure and send matches to avoid their
