four years ago, but they thought my

you, for | have never had but one
opinion, and that was that Mrs. Henry
Wharton poisoned and killed my hus-
band and daughter, and tried to kill
me, and said so at the time, nearly
four years ago; and it is not the first
time she tried 10 poison my daughter

The Convention.

The question Of amending the Con;
stitution Of our State. appears to be
narrowed down to an issue between the
political parties which have 90 Hercsly
waged war over our country since the
adoption OF the present Constitution.
The Radicals oppose any Convention
for fear it may vaca,e the seats Of those
in power, and who now hold them BY
the prescription prevailing at the time
of their election. II the Radicals op-
pose, the Democrats will accept the
political ultimatum, and the result will
be q matter OF easy solution, aud the
fears which involve the opposition. and
which by no means are necessary con.
sequences Of a Convention. may be forced
upon the Democracy as political re-
suit. In our community those remarks
only apply TO the Radical wing Of the
Republicans, as the liberal persons OF
that party do not appreciate the question
in that light, and many Of them will
support q Convention Westes Dems-

A crowd collected yesterday evening
at the foot of Fourth street, Hoboken,

dred persons had gathered on bridge
which extends out to the baths, a dis.

that he had been poisoned. A verdict

unable TO distinguish them in the dark,

in the wounding OF one Of the men in

been made upon the Sheriff OF Bladen

that the efforts 10 kill or capture the

Virginia Bonds.

From the Baltimore American, 4.h.l
To the uninitiated, the occasion Of
the wide variation in the daily quota
tons Of the various issues Of Virginia
6s is altogether inexplicable, and at our
req uest, Messrs. Wilson, Colston Il Co..
bankers of this city, who make dealing
in Virginia bonds a specially OF their
business, have prepared a statement
showing what the quotations represent
and why the variations exist, which we
commend TO the attention OF our read
crs:
Before the war, the credit OF no State
was higher than that of Virginia; all
Of her engagements were met promptly
and the prices OF her bonds ruled high
amongst first-class securities.
After the war her first attention TO
her debt was on January !, 1866, when
she funded the interest due and unpaid
on her debt from July |, 1851, being
five years 80 per cent, into new bends,
commonly called 1850 bonds and
this operation was repeated on January
!, 1867, for the interest due in the pre-
vious year, for which "lSG1 bonds
were given. These 1866 and 1861
bonds carry the interest on the face OF
them from the let of January of the
respective years, "a per cent. in the one
case and 81 per cent. in the other. On
July ], 1867 the State resumed the
payment by paying2 per cent ot the
8 per cent due seniannually, and
crediting the per cent. TO holders on
the State books in the case OF registered
stock, and issuing coupons in the case
of coupon bonds. This was maintained
until January |, 1869, since which time
no interest has been paid.
The funding act, passed at the Last
session OF the Legislature, afler reciting
the fact that West Virginia, at its for
nation, contained one.third OF the area
and population OF the old State, and
that in the formation OF that State il
was provided that West Virginia should
take upon herself a just proportion OF
the debt OF the Commonwealth as II
existed prior to July !, 1861, provided
ior the funding Of all the existing bonds
and stocks, with all accrued interest,
into a new debt, OF which two-thlrds Is
Issued in new bonds on which the State
OF Virginia promises to pay interest
punctually, and the remaining one-third
is issued in certificate on which inter.
est is deferred until a settlement can be
had with West Virginia. These bonds
are denominated respectively Virginia
consolidated bonds and Virginia de.
lerred certificates -(quoted 70 and 25)
The prices Of the former issues are
regulated by the amount Of accrued in
terest carried with each class, as fol-
lows Old coupon bonds, II per cent. !;
old registered, none; 1866 bonds, 80
per cent, aud 1867 bonds, q per cent.
They are now all about equal in real
price except the old coupon bonds,
which are about 3 per cent. higher in
proportion al this time, which is gener-
ally attributed to the European demand
for that particular class.
No provision has been made for the
payment OF interest on the deferred
certificates, but it is understood that
whatever interest shall have accumu-
lated when a settlement with West
Virginia ia made, will be included in
such bonds as NAV then be Issued

The roll has been called in Paris,
and the dead, wounded and missing
counted up, with the remarkable result
OF showing 10000 men, women aDd
children slaughtered in the suppression
Of the Commune, aod 10000 prisoners
taken. We may well doubt the accu.
racy OF these figures. for il 10 given out
that, in addition TO this vast multitude
already disposed Of, there are 10000
Communists still in hiding, sought after
by the police. The cost OF the Com
munistic insurrectIon 10 Paris is 10 any
case beyond computation in q very
definite manner. The loss in property
may he fixed with tolcrable accuracy;
but the long list OF murdered prisoners.
citizens slaughtered by Versailles shells
during the bombardment, others killed
and buried with the falling buildingsi in
the week Of incendiarism, and the m.
counted files OF maddened wretchss shot
down by the captors on the bank Of
the Seine, can .nsTsr be satisfactorily
filled out. Perhaps 10000, including
600 women and children, is tolersble
guess; but, whether it approaches the
truth or not, the fact OF is aeceptancs
as accurate goes far 10 show how terri.
bic must have been the carnage and
and how indiscriminate the slaughter.
