My BULL AND YOUR OK

We learn by telegraph that the first of the Sc
ries OF ku-klux trials commenced in Raleigh has
resulted IN the conviction of X. A. ShotwelI and
several others, while several were acquitted.
They. were charged with having, in disguise.
selzcd upon one justice, a lawyer and editor of
Republican paper in Rutherford, and threat-
ened to lynch him. The parties who were ac-
Quilted were again arrested by the marshal to
answer TO other charges. OF course, nobody ex-
pected anything else than conviction with a
packed jury of carpet-baggers, scalawags. and
negroes, and prejudiced bench.--Enquirer

neighbor will permit US to occasionally

lightful food is given you, you squirm and

never word of sympathy for the poor me-

have been scourged, beaten with stripes.

Now, brother Enquirer, did YOU ever

SCHOOL MATTERs.-Mr. Binford :,

SCHOOL MATTERS. Binford, SUI
perintendent of schools, returned this
morning from his tour of observation, in
company with Rev. Mr.. Manly, among the
schools of Northern cities. The object of
these gentlemen was to compare the sys-
tens and methods adopted in other locali-
ties with those practiced in the Richmond
schools, and to utilize any information
which they might thus obtain likely to adj
vance the cause Of education here.
Mr.. Binford speaks in high terms of the
appointments and modes of teaching in
many of the schools which he visited, and
was gratified to receive the unqualified in
dorsement of men of large experience of
the general system adopted here. The
cause of education will gain much by such
comparisons of views and systems, and we
hope to see them made more frequently in
the future. i,
Mr.. Manly will probably return to-mor-
row morning, having separated from Mr..
Binford at Boston, to make brief visit to
relatives and friends in Vermont.

The DUTIES OF THE BUSINESS MEN
OF RICHMOND.-We send out daily, our
reporters to inquire the progress made in
the erection of new buildings, their owners,
their builders, and. to ascertain whose fac
tories are at work, how many hands they
employ; what Richmond can furnish to
other sections and States.
These things cost us money, and we ask
the people of Richmond to give us all the
facilities in their power to aid us in circu-
lating widely the general growth and pros
perity of the community.
We can live and are going to do so at any
cost, and while not dependent alone
upon the encouragement we receive from
the city, we believe our interest in all that
affects the welfare of Richmond entities us
to equal consideration with the other pa
pers, by the enterprising men of Richmond.
We are encouraged by the flattering no
tices we receive from some of the leading
business men of the city, and have deter
mined to become more familiar with them.
so we may introduce them to our country
readers. We are now issuing large edi-
ton of our WEEKLY and SEMI w EEKLY,
which, for the next two months, will be
circulated throughout the State,
and we recommend to advertisers their
columns, as a cheap and profitable means
OF reaching every section of Virginia.

BY request we publish the following let
ter from the State Treasurer:

TRBAsURBR's OFFICE oP THE
COMMONWEALTH OF EIRGISIA.S
Messrs. Baker C Co.. Winchester, "a.
Gentlemen--In reply to the inquiries pro-
pounded in your favor of August 18th last and
referred to in yours of 9th inst, would say that
while we have no certain information in regard
to the amount of the public debt when funded,
ed by January, 1872, on which we will then have
to pay interest, will not exceed $50, 100000 The
interest on this-I mean two-thirds of it. which
is what the funding bill provides for paying
will be u 100000. Of this, onehaf, say $500 900
will be payable lst of January 1872 and the
other hall, s6o0O00, will be payable July lst
1872.
We cannot tell what amount will be derived
from taxes this year, because the returns are not
yet in. But the auditor reports that, after pay
ing all the expenses of the government for the
current year, there will be on hand january lst.
1871 balance of " 100000, derived from the
taxes OF 1870 and 1871. And this amount does
peoted will be derived from taxes on railroads
and other corporation properties, the interest
to be paid by the depositaries for the use of the
states money, nor other such items. The amount
in the treasury this morning is $947, ,47O 40 on
which the State is receiving interest from depos-
itaries tRiehmond banlSs) at the rate of four per
cent per anntlm-except 100000
1t is believed that the expenses of the State
Government will be materially decreased for the
next year-it is certain that it can be done with
out detriment to the public interest
Our general conclusion is that the interest on
that portion of the public debt on which interest
will have to be paid under the provisions of the
funding bill, next year. can be provided for with
out any increase of the present taxation
nave the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, ~ GEO. RYE,

A good citizen and intelligent gentleman
of this city, came to our office to-day to
talk to us on the State finances. He was
anxious to save the State credit and desired
us to publish Treasurer Rye's letter, which
we had already clipped from the Dispatch.
We frankly expressed to him our convic-
ton that the State could not meet its obi
cations without sacrificing the school sys-
tenn. "Cannot the State give up the school
system for few years ? said he /; better do
that than to lose its credit"
This is precisely the doctrine held by the
great majority of those who support that
bill. The school system, hateful to all
aristocrats and enemies of popular liberty,
is now in the way of gambling spectators
in State stock, and its destruction has been
determined.
The money which would educate a geners-
ton and lift Virginia into the front rank of
States is to be used to enable stock specu-
lators to realize an advance. The credit of
tie State as not saced by the funding bill,
as we have often shown in our columns.
1t is q cheat and blind to cover up a
specializing scheme and to destroy the
school system. We warn our people
against being misled by this moonshine of
State honor and public credit. Look
to the salvation Of your prostrated industry,
and the elevation of your children
into the front ranks Of men, and how
much the $2,0O0,OO0 annual interest
would do to help you, if kept at home
Again, we warn the people to arouse,
and save the State from this accursed
to crush out their last hope
of recuperation. Postpone the debt for ten,
gears, or settle ii IN bankruptcy; but sare

NOMINATING CONFERENCE.-The Re-
publican delegates of Henrico and Rich
mond are now in convention at the custom-
house, and up to the hour of this report
(half-past o'clock are unable to effect an
organization. This is due to two sets of
delegates claiming recognition from the
townships of Varina and Fairfield of the
county.
1t Is to be regretted that questions of dis
pute should arise in these meetings, but
when they do, men have but to perform
their duties, one of which is not to listen
to long speeches from those who only want
to hear themselves talk. More work and
less talk would result in benefit.

WEpublish Treasurer Rye's letter to-day
'on the subject of State finance, but are un-
able to see our financial condition in the
rose colored light in which it appears to his
vision.
Finance, debt and credit, belong among
the exact sciences. Surmise and conjecture
are neither safe nor proper to be relied up

blems-how much do we owe? how much
can we realize from present rate of taxa.
ton? and how much more can our over
burdened people bear?
We suppose the case should be stated
thus We owe forty-fve millions. bear
ing interest at sixper cent. The funding bill
proposes Temporarily at leasD to repudiate
'one-third of that amount, or to pay inter-
est on thirty millions. As an inducement
to bondholders to fund, those who do so are
given priority over all other claimants, not
excepting the claims for current expenses.
And to secure this priority, the coupons of
such bonds are receivable for taxes. This,
then, makes it certain that we must save
one million eight hundred thousand dollars
for interest.
Our current expenses last year were
sl,l5O,0OO; and, supposng them to be the
same this year, it would make an aggre-
gate of 81, ,950, 900, in round numbers, to be
raised. Last year we received 81 ,636, ,943
from taxation, when the rate was thirty
cents on hundred dollars; and we shall
receive this year 81 100000, to which we
may add for licenses $4,000, 900, making

$500 900 nearly, and leaving deficit of
not less than sl,33O,00O, which can only
be made up by taxes on land and incomes.
Let the citizens of Virginia understand
that to meet the acquisitions of the funding
bill, the rate of taxation must be doubled.
We would be glad to save the credit of
the State, but we think her people are about
as precious as her credit. The ship may
be very valuable, but we don't propose to
destroy her passengers and crew to save
