CARL SCHURZ'S SPEECH.

The recent speech of Schurz, of Chicago,
contains much free criticism, of men and
measures but we think the Democracy
will get small comfort in reading it, on the
Ku-Klux question. He says -
"Nothing has done more to keep alive
the spirit from which Ku-Klux outrages
proceed than the acrimonious war which
has been waged upon reconstruction meas
ures and constitutional amendments, and
the studious encouragement given to the
hope that all these things would be swept
away again if the Democratic party should
come into power"
Senator Schurz, like all independent and
thoughtful men, sees much to criticise in
the action of his own party. But as long
as the Republican organization represents
on the whole the triumph of freedom over
slavery, of Democracy over privilege, OF
honesty over corruption and debauch, there
is plenty of room within it for men like
him, and no room as yet outside of it. A
house whereof Tammany is both the archi-
tect and the steward, affords no accommo-
dation for men who carry so much baggage
of integrity and intelligence as the Senator
of Missouri. =

The Virginia Funding Bill.

Hon. Robert Y. Conrad, of Winchester,
Va, has written letter in reply to num-
Der of prominent citizens of Virginia. in
relation to the eXpediency of that feature of
the funding bill of the State which practi-
cally enables the holders of the coupon
bonds to intercept the taxes before they
reach the treasury to the extent of the en-
tire amount of the interest on the debt, by
making the coupons receivable for all taxes;
and also as to the ability of the people to
bear any increased burthen, and what rem
edy can relieve them from any necessity to
increase the present taxes. Mr.. Conrad
fully approves of the general feature in the
bill which frankly admits the legal obliga-
ton of the State to pay the whole debt,
but he agrees with his correspondents that
the people are in no condition at this time
to stand such taxation as will be sufficient
to pay the interest on the debt, and at the
same time the current expenses of the State
government. This provision, therefore, he
considers inexpedient, and he makes the
following suggestion: i''o4 t d.
''The remedy, then, which would sug-
gest, in order to make this law practicable,
and consistent with the safety Of our Conn
monwealth, is an act repeating or modify
ing this feature, so that the revenue arising
from the present rate of taxation should be
sufficient to carry on the government, the
current expenses of which should be re-
duced to a proper maximum, and the sur
plus paid equally to the public creditors ;
the knot must be cut, without stopping to
unite it, if we are right in supposing that it
threatens destruction to ourselves and
believe that in so doing the Legislature will
be acting within the scope of its legitimate
power and consistently with the honor and
good faith Of our own State. Norfolk Day

THE Republican party has good record
of clear and well-defned principles. The
trumpet which has been sounded out
through the land, from time to time, has
never given an uncertain sound, nor have
the public ever been left in uncertainty as
to the policy to be carried out in the case
of success. And the issues proposed have
always been real and practical, and vital
to the country. No shams or trumped-up
departures have been allowed. They bave
been an enthusiastic, working, successful
party, because they have had something to
do. They were employed by the people,
first to save the government and next to
put 1t on a basis of future security. The
first work they have done, and the second
they are yet engaged in. The most inn
portant part of this is done, but there is
yet too much Of Importance to be accom-
plished to make it safe to entrust the work
to a fresh set of worlSmen. The ''new de-
parture" of the Democracy promises not
to destroy what has been done, but does
not promise to continue the work, On the
contrary, they would stop it short.

Alleged Violation Of the General Customs
Lars.-William II. Lyons and Thomas F.
Jones, of Portsmouth, arrested some days
since, charged with having in their posses
sion and selling 4,S00 cigars which had been
smuggled into the United States in violation
of the general customs laws, were brought
before United States Commissioner M. +.
Peasants to-day for hearing. From the
evidence, it seems that these parties were
employed in the navy-yard at Portsmouth,
and that some time in the month of Febru-
ary, 1867, the steamer ''Ocean Bird, from
Havana to New York, becoming disabled,
stopped at Portsmouth for repairs. While
there, it is alleged that Lyons and Jones
purchased 4,S00 cigars from one of her
crew. A large number of witnesses are to
be examined, and from appearances the
case will not be concluded before tomorrow
night. s.l- 4a

JFmding Of the State Debt.-The amount
of the State debt funded yesterday was
$l55, ,4S2 80, making 81 ,996, ,S09.05 to date.
We were informed by the officers who are
conducting the funding operations that law
yers and others, acting as fiduciaries, are
sending in bonds rapidly, and that the for
eign bond-holders have already forwarded
large quantities. Bonds issued as far back
as 1885, which have never changed hands,
have been brought in. The registered bonds
held for permanent investment are also
coming in more rapidly than was anticipa-
ted, and if larger force could be put to
work they would be kept constantly en-
ployed.
It is due to the clerks in the Treasurer's
and Second Auditors Office to state that
they are conducting the funding business
with promptness and wonderful accuracy,
besides keeping up the routine business OF
their respective offices. What is more,
they answer all manner of questions and
keep their temper despite the hot weather.
There will be at least ss,0O0,000 by this
afternoon.

THE AMERICAN poMoLoGICAL SOCIETY.

The near approach Of the annual
meeting of this important Society, with
which our city is to be honored, early next
month, demands prompt consideration.
We learn from the efficient President of
our State Society, John M. Allan, that
they are making proper arrangements for
the occasion. That Society, however, is
destitute of the means to give to our honored
guests from abroad such reception as
we would all like to see.
We trust that our wealthy citizens will
realize the great Importance and representa-
tive value of this meeting, and vie with
each other in offering both public and pri-
vate hospitality to its members.
The City Council might very properly
take action, and aid in giving an appropriate
welcome to one of the noblest bodies of
men ever gathered here.
In admiration and furtherance of this
work we can all unite. They seek to
multiply, improve and distribute those
beautiful fruits, which, appealing to all
senses, refine and ennoble us, while they
crafty ,healthfully and supremely, the appe-
tite for food.
They are coming from Maine and New
York, from far off Oregon and California,
from Texas and Florida, and from noun
tain and valley of our own Virginia.
They come with ''peace, and love, and
good will to men," bringing clusters of
grapes that rival those of Eschol, the
orange and the pine, the golden apples,
fair as any which caught their blush from
Eve's fair face, and all that rich array of
fruits with which toll has renewed the
Eden that she lost. They come to scat
ter among us the seeds Of great prosper
ity, and the generous rivalry of multiplying
these good things. so that every poor
child shall have fruit as cheap and plenty
as the air, and some sense of Gods great
bounty thus bcmade visible to it.
We trust that there will be no short
sighted economy shown in dealing with this
opportunity. 1t is hardly probable that
the society will meet here again in dozen
years, and this is, therefore, the one chance
offered to do justice to ourselves in the
eyes Of the country, and to aid in reyiving
and extending one of our most important
industries.

THE MEETING OF THE STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE YESTERDAY.--
IT'S ACTION.

The Republican State Central Committee
assembled at the Custom-House, in this
city, yesterday. The prominent question
before the Committee was, whether or not
it was advisable to call convention of the
party, which, after being thoroughly dis
cussed by the friends and opponents of the
measure, was decided in the negative by a
vote of eight to seven. After the transac-
ton of some other business, the Committee
adjourned to meet again at 81 p. NJ.
On assembling, one of the Committee,
who had voted in the negative, moved a re-
consideration of the question, which, on
being had, was determined in favor of o
convention, the vote standing nine for, with
four against 1.-two members less being
present than in the afternoon. On motion,
the call for convention was made uHani-
nous,
Without expressing any opinion as to the
propriety of q convention, the State Central
Committee having declared in favor of one,
we earnestly hope every Republican in the
State will go to work and make the body
respectable in numbers and in the character
of the men who may be sent to represent
the cause. ..- ...t..sE
Wednesday, September 27th, at II NJ,
was selected as the time, and Richmond as
the place for holding the convention.
Each county will be entitled to represen-
tation equal to that allowed by the consttu-
ton for the House of Delegates.
No proxy will be permitted in the con-
vention neither will any county be per-
mitted to send delegate unless he is a res
ident Of the county from which he is sent.
We call upon the different counties to
make arrangements as early as practicable
for the selection of their delegates, and trust
the party will endeavor to select its most
faithful and capable men.
The chairman and secretary have been
directed to notify the different counties.
In the meantime we call upon every in
dividual member of the party to go to work
and organize their township and county
committees, and report at once.to the secre-
tary of the State Central Committee here,
as to the number and condition of the party.
If there is but one member of the party in
any county, let that one Immediately or
ganize for the fight.
Every member of the Committee has,
we believe, determined to lay aside his per-
sonal wishes, and to go to work for his
party.
The fall elections will have powerful
influence on the approaching Presidential
canvass, and we do hope no Republican in
Virginia, however humble, will fail in his
duty to organize the party wherever the
work is incomplete.
The party in Richmond has determined
to win this fall. Its moral effect upon the
entire State cannot be over-estimated, and
is not being overlooked by our friends here.
We are for sharp, active work, and feel
confident in saying that our city will win a
victory this fall, which will be felt through
out the length and breadth of the State.

THE ELASTIC STOCKING SUPPORTER.

In our advertising columns to-day, will
be found description of new mode of
supporting the stockings from the waist,
now being introduced extensively into in
telligent families. The elastic garter has
long been condemned. 1t cannot be other
wise than injurious to cord the leg tightly,
especially of young girls. The circulation
is arrested, muscular growth stopped, and
permanent injury inflicted by the ligatures
now in use. Mrs. E. L. Daniels, a highly
cultivated and intelligent lady of Boston,
after careful study of the conditions of
health, comfort, and economy, has invented
and patented a simple arrangement, by
which the stockings are supported from the
waist. We consider her a great public
benefactor, and we can cordially recon-
mend her invention. We have long dis
carded garters upon the limbs of our
children, and have tried the new plan with
satisfactory results. Our enterprising
traders should at once order supply, and
introduce them to their customers.
