GARFIELD, in his speech on Thurs
day, made a desperate drive at wit
when he said, he thought it was PEN
dleton's speech, and not Pendleton,
that was on crutches. That, from the
graduate of the tow-path, is very
sharp, and shows, that, with all his
advantages and cultivation, the Rev.
Hon. General has not forgotten his
early teachings. If the speech was
on crutches it is manifest that it was
pretty well supported. - - L.

How 7-The Radical leaders have
been tickling their followers with the
idea of speedy return to specie pay
ments. Just how that desirable end
10 to be accomplished, while we are
sending to Europe more gold to pay
the interest on government bonds held
abroad than the entire production of
all. our mines, and with balance of
trade some S100O00,000 against Us,
they can't exactly understand them
selves. The only specie payments
likely to occur under Radical rule is
gold to the untaxed bondholder, while
the tax-oppressed workers and pro-
ducers must be content to receive
their pay in deprecated paper. And
Radical orators, legislators and edi-
tors attempt to justify this thing.

VIRGIEfA, is not in all respects
State in the Union; her Legislature,
as a provisional body, cannot pass
laws without taking the test oath !;
and before the State can be restored to
the Union, and the Legislature clothed
with full legislative authority, they
will be required to ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton. So says Attorney General
Hoar, and all the Radicals, with one
voice, cry, amen. That the Legisla-
ture OF Virginia, without the power
to pass an act binding upon her own
people, because not fully State,
nevertheless possess the power to rat
ify an amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution binding upon the people of
Virginia and all the States, seems a
little strange; still, it is, doubtless
clear as mud to the Radical compre-
hension. We had always supposed
that amendments to the Federal Con-
stitution were to submitted only to
States, and that States only could rat
ify.

IT is repudiation say the Radicals,
to pay the Government bonds in
greenbacks, although neither the
bonds, nor the law provide for their
payment in any other way. The Rad
icals have had the entire control of
nearly every State Government north
for nearly ten years, and during that
time, they have been paying off the
bonds of the several States which
were contracted in coin or upon a
coin basis, in greenbacks. Is that re-
pudiation? The national bondholders
purchased bonds with deprecated
currency worth from forty to sixty
cents on the dollar, and the Radicals
insist they shall receive gold in pay
ment. The holders of State bonds
paid gold or its equivalent for the
State bonds, and the Radicals pay
them in q deprecated currency. That
is the Radical idea of justice. ~

Only to think of it, there is an average
duty npon all these articles that we

pense with most Of the above taxes al
together, in this manner: @
Tax the bonds by the United States
Government two and half per cent,
which is about the amount of tax paid
by all other property. This would
raise fifty million dollars. Then dis
pense with the National banks and
issue Greenbacks in their place. This
would save thirty millions more
making total from the bondholders
and bankers of eighty million dollars.

Destruction of IA Devonshire village.

FROM the LtOerp0ot courier.
A serious calamity has befallen the Devon
shire village of Chawlegh, which has been
almost destroyed by fire. Chawleigh is in the
hundred of North Tawton, about two miles to
the southeast of Chulmlegh. 1t is situated on the
river Dart and is not far from the Eggesford
station OF the North Devon Railway. The prin-
cipal landowners in the neighborhood are Lord
Portsmouth and Sir George Stuckley, Baronet
the Earl being lord of the manor, and the
population numbers about $50, the population of
the entire parish being about 800. The houses
were nearly all matched, and to this fact is due
the extent of the fire, the excessive heat of the
suns rays during the past week having rendered
the roofs very combustible. The fire broke out
on Thursday August &C. and there being no
water obtanable, the flames spread rapidly till
the greater part of the dwellings were destroyed
and nearly the whole of the villagers left house
less. The fire was caused through some chill
dren playing with matches in one of the houses
When the flames broke ont the Inhabitants of
the village became panic-stricken, and rs result
lost nearly all theirproperty. There is an ancient
church dedicated to st. James in the village, and
as our correspondent makes no mention OF It,, 1t
is to be hoped it escaped destruction. The lnde-
pendents and Bible Christians have also places
of worship in the parish, and they have also
probably escaped.
