TO The Editor orths State Journal
Can it be possible las stated in the State
Treasurer's letter to Messrs. Baker & Co.,
Winchester,) that by the auditors report,
that after paying all Tie erpenses Of govern-
nsent for the gear 1871, there seW be a BAL
anee of 81, 800, 900 in the treasury. Now,
sir, will you be so kind as to explain why
our Legislature required the taxes to be
paid 1st of September; failing to do which,
we, the Taxpayers, are required to pay five
per centum additional. If it be true, as
stated in your convention, that this sum is
deposited in our so-called banks, at four
per cent. per annum, TO be loaned out by
them at from ten to fifteen per cent, is it
not sufficient proof to satisfy every tax-pay-
er, at least, that the Conservative party
are, to say the very least, very bad finan-
ciers.
1t cannot possibly be true that our State
officials have any pecuniary motive in re-
quiring our already oyer-burdened tax
payers to raise money at from 10 to IL per
cent. to pay into the State Treasury money
to be loaned out at per cent? But, to
my mind, no sane man would thus manage
his own affairs; consequently there is no
other mode of accounting for such action,
tHliSSS ttiSy NCAS PCOuiiiaiiiJ Ah.SieslSu'
Look at it: the taxpayer is to pay his
taxes six or eight months before the neces-
sites of the State require their payment,
which, if he fails, to do, he will be made to
pay per cent. additional. His property
can be sold by the sheriff with which he is
now threatened,) to pay money not re-
quired for six or eight months! l hope,
sir, you will ventilate this piece of-either
stupidity or rascality. Qlt q
am no politician, though ! acted with
the Old Whig, and have since fallen into
the Conservative ranks, but | do feel a
lively and sensitive interest in the finances
Of the State. | am now taxed % per cent.
of all my income to support the city and
State government. If this funding bill pro-
crosses suppose it will take another
fourth. a.qa
l ask the attention of the taxpayers Of
this city and State to consider seriously the
subject of taxation, and sustain that party
at the approaching election on which we can
rely for remedy to this growing evil
Will you, Mr.. Editor, enlighten us on the
funding bill. 1t strikes me there is some
tall stock jobbing in it. LIGHT.

CoRN.-The monthly report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, for August and
September, has been received. The report
gives the following information concerning
the corn crop in Virginia. A very fine
prospect is reported from Princess Anne,
Nansemond, Henrico and Surry, while
drought is materially shortening the crop
in Nelson, Buckingham, Madison, Amelia,
Pulaski, Bath, Highland, Louisa, Rappa-
hammock, and Augusta counties. In Mont
gomery, the crop was terribly injured by
drought, but has improved beyond expcc-
tations. Corn is unusually fine and abun-
dant III the upper section of King George
county, but has suffered for the want of
rain in the eastern section. In favored por-
tions of the county the yield is 80 per cent.
above that of last year.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS IN
CRAIG AND ALLEGHANY.--H. III. Rob-
ertson, Esq, of Covington, Allegheny
county, has received the nomination for the
House Of Delegates in the district COM
posed of the counties of Craig and Alle-
ghany.
We do not regard Robertson as very
popular man in his district, and it lis likely
he will be opposed by an Independent can
in the last Legislature by Clarke L. Wood
son, of Craig, whose course was so unpop'
ular with his constituents as to induce him
to throw up the sponge and strike for the
West, where he is now editing a Democrat
ic paper.
The slaughter upon the old Representa-
tives, thus tar, has been terrible.

4 MEETING hAST NIGHT AT DAvEN-
PORTS lloTEi., VI regretted our inabil-
ity to be present last night and hear the adj
dress delivered by Mr.. Arnold, of North
Carolina.
We understand a large crowd was in at
stendance and listened with great attention
to the able remarks made by the speaker.
After Mr.. Arnold had ceased his address
Solon Johnson, "a Northern man with
Southern feelings y or rather colored man
of Democratic procliyities, attempted re-
ply to Mr.. Arnold but failed in every
particular to justify himself for being in
such company, and, like the rest of the
herd to which he belongs, found it impossi-
bic to say what his principles were. j,
He was requested by Mr.. Arnold to show
the plank in the Democratic platform on
which colored man could stand without
blistering and whitening his feet. Mr.. john
son searched in vain and could find none,
except a knotty and gnarled one, too hide
Gus in shape and appearance to bring to
public gaze.
j. Anderson Taylor replied to Mr.. john
son, aud poured such a stream of hot shot
into johnson as made him squirm and
twist worse than a black snake with his
tail crushed.
Mr.. Arnold is regarded as a speaker OF
ability, and will, no doubt, do good work
| in the approaching canvas.

ATTENTION, REPUBLICANS = We
speak what we do KNOW, when we say
GREAT DISSATISFACTION EXISTS 8
AMONG THE DEMOCRATS OF RICHMOND
BECAUSE OF THE MEN AND MANNER
BY WHICH THEY WERE NOMINATED.
Many of the better men of the party
cannot be induced to vote for tricksters,
bullies, and clowns. Among the pot-house
politicians there is equal dissatisfaction.
Several fights have already taken place,
and we are prepared to see many more
among the faithful.
The Erening Ne,Vs wants to know what
business it is Of ours if meetings were
packed or rings controlled its party.
To this we answer, it is our business to
do all we can against the party which is
affecting the whole country by its corrup-
tions and cheating. It is our duty and
pleasure to expose to the public the unfair
ness Which characterized the nominating
conventions of the party, in order that all
honest men may see the difference between
the conduct of your party and ours.
There are hundreds Of men who hereto-
fore have blindly supported the ticket made
for them, who are determined this fall to
vote for men, ana not for the infamous
hypocritic measures of Democracy.
The universal acknowledgement that the
Democratic city ticket is weak, while the
Republican ticket is composed of some the
ablest, most respectable and worthy citizens
of Richmond, will give us success if we
will only make an effort.
The nomination of Tom Wynne is the
death blow to the party in this city, and
if we. as we should do. elect our ticket
in great measure, this man of 50 great
ambition, will be entitled to much graft
tude s. from the Republican party. We
have only to unite our strength, put goot
men to work to watch the polls, and hav,
men to count the ballots WHO CAN'T
BE BOUGHT, and Wynne, Connolly &
Co. will explode, leaving nothing behinC
them to tell of their former existence.

BROAD STREET. The alacrity of the
Council committee to whom the subject of
the Broad street improvements was referred,
is not such as TO inspire our friends in that
locality with a very great amount Of conf
dence. A meeting Of the committee was
called for Thursday afternoon, but quo
rum did not attend, two of the members
being out Of the city, and third failing to
appear. Another attempt to have a meet
ing is to be made this evening.

THE FEAST OF THE TABERNACLFs
Conspicuous among the Israehtish festivals
stands that of the Tabernacles. This inn
portant feast began yesterday evening, and
will last for eight days. The first, second,
seventh and eighth days are kept holy, and
no menial service is performed thereon.
Business is entirely suspended, and the
Synagogues arc well filled with those who
commemorate the dwelling of the Israeltes
in booths, during their sojourn in the
wilderness. On the first two days of the
holy day, the ceremony Of using the
''luluf," a branch of the palm tree, bound
with myrtle and willow, and the Esrog," J"
the pomegranate, is kept up among those
who remain true to orthodox principles.
The beautiful moral of the same, as ex-
planned by learned Rabbi, is that the
palm being the loftiest of trees, the myrtle
representing the most common of shrubs,
and the willow which is always dropping
and meek, which are bound and held to-
gether in one hand, and with the pome-
granate, which is the richestof fruits, held
in the other hand, are waved towards
Heaven. to teach that our Almighty Father
recognizes alike, the lofty, the humble,
the meek and the rch.o
The sending of presents to the needy and
poor constitutes another beautiful feature Of
this festival.
Services will be held in all the Syna-
gogues to-day and tomorrow, at the usual
hour.

AN INCIDENT.-We give q specimen of the re-
cent Radical Convention in this city. One of the
delegates from the Northern Neck, seedy and
cadaverous-looling carpet-bagger, put up at a
clearinghouse lie said he merely wanted his
meals for that day and nights lodging. lie at
tended the Convention 1t got through its labors
about midnight. The Northern Neck carpet
bagger returned to the boartling-house and re-
tired to bed. At daylight he got mp and quietly
stole away, without settling his bill or saying
anything about It. This fellow didn't even have
an empty carpet-bag to leave behind him. And
this is the character of the men who represent
the great Republican party of the Countrywide
party of all the morality, respectability, and
honesty-the party Of President Grant--in the
grand old Commonwealth of Virginia 1t is very
select.--Enquirer.
That's nothing! we know prominent
Democratic representative who, a short
time ago, came to Richmond, took lodgings
at fashionable boarding-house, and not
only sneaked off without paying his bill,
but stole about a hundred dollars from the
lady who was entertaining him. "And this
is the character of the men who represent
the great Democratic party of the country
the party of all the morality, respecta-
blity and honesty, i'll the grand old Com
molwealth Of Virginia ltisvery select" !"

A WHITE BLACK MAN AND A BLACK
WHITE MAN.-Mr. r. L. Hobson, late of
the Richmond postoflice, and one Of the
champions, of Richmond, Of black Democ-
racy, has, we understand, consented to
discuss party issues with Mr.. Arnold, the
colored orator, of North Carolina, and
Wednesday night next has been selected as
the time for holding the discussion.
The place has not yet been selected, but
when it is, we hope it will be so situated as
to accommodate the large crowd that may
be expected.
We are sincere, when VIC say we have
great curiosity to hear a colored man de-
Tending party that would deprive his race
of their rights, if it had the power, quicker
than a sheep could shake its tail, and pos
sible will be on hand to hear Mr.. Hobson.
We promise to give him fair hearing, and
hold ourselves open to conviction and con-
version. AS we have never yet seen any
thing that would induce us to become a
white Democrat, it is barely possible Mr..
Hobson, and those of his race who agree
with him, may so picture the beauties of
his party, as would convert us to black
Democracy.
We trust every body who can, inespec-
tive of party, will go to hear these two men
of the same race discuss party differences.

THE UNION HoTEI.-The large house,
situated on Seventh street, near Broad, and
known as the s'Union Hotel'' was yester-
day sold at public auction, and purchased
by Rush Burgess, Esq, for the sum of
$1,000.
Its location and interior arrangements
are such as to render it desirable place in
which to hold public meetings, and as the
Republican party is sadly in need Of such
place, if Mr.. Burgess is willing to sell, we
would recommend the formation of joint
stock company to purchase the house for
party use.
In every city of the North, of any size,
political parties own property and use it as
Headquarters, whereal important meet
ings of the party are held, and we can see no
reason why this city and our party may not
be provided with such convenience.
We believe the party has in it sufficient
number of gentlemen of wealth, who would
be willing to contribute for the purpose we
have indicated, and we hope immediate
steps will be taken to carry out our ideas.

AN AGREEABLE CHANGB.--We con-
gratulate those who, by choice or other
wise, attend the courts of the Police s,)u US
tice, that in a few days change will be
made IN the place of holding the Police
court. The new courtroom, in Odd-Fel-
lows Hall, is now receiving the finishing
strokes of the carpenters, and will be
ready for occupation in less than a week.
1t will be great Improvement over the
room formerly used, and will cost the city
but little for furnishing and rent. The ar
rangement of the stand, prisoners coop,
witness-box, &C., is also much better.
The prisoners will not be seen from any
direction in the room, except from the
Judges stand, as the coop is made close,
and is above the height of a man.. A small
room, which has been partitioned off in
one corner Of the main hall, will be used
for the office of the Police Justice and his
clerk.
