and traced its firm will in indellitle characters

respects the independence of Others. This

Public Debt-Mai Z. NJ. Bell

Iae question OF providing Tor the funding
and payment Of the public debt of Virginia Us
elicited much interest aud considerable dizcus-
sion. We believe that all the Representative
in the General Assembly from this county
(Senator and Delegates are in accord upon
that subject. La the discussion OF that sub
ject In he House Of Delegates, on Friday last,
Maj. Fl. Nj. Bell participated. We give the
substance OF his remarks as reported in the ed
itoriai column of the Richmond IPhig:
He spoke OF the responsibility Of the State
for the debt, it having been contracted BY the
State Of Virginia. Good faith and a due re-
gard to financial credit, require that provision
be made for if. He thought each Staje re-
spOnsble to the creditors tor all OF the deot
and each responsible to the other for It's proper
portion OF It, tie quoted the constitutional
provisions on the subject OF the public debt,
and referred to the action of the former Legis-
ature recognizing it as biatllug upon the State.
he argued that the amendment of the meni-
Der from Rappahannock was the first proposl-
ton ever made looking to a violation OF the
pllghted faith Of the State and to fixing stig-
ma upon it, He had quit the chair, to which
he had been elevated by the House, to intro
duce proposition which, If adopted, would
inhlct disgrace upon Virginia, He referred to
the amendment of the member from Kappa
hammock as containing repudlaton and said
that II every man, woman aud enid IN the
State was in favor of Reputation, he would op-
pose il. he would not leave such heritage
of inlamy to his children. He would lose his
right arm first. Ii We are to repudiate, lef Us
make money by it-and repudiate the whole
instead of "a part of the debf. lie referred to
the stigma that repQdiation had fixed upon
Mississippi. He thought the bill ought 10 be
passed as it came from the Senate.

-SENATE.-Frlday, March 24tb-Quite
number of bills of local character were pass
HoUsE.-Senate bill to provide for the fund
ing and payment of the public debt of the
State came up as the special continuing order :
the question being on the adoption of the
amendment proposed by Mr. Woodson, te
strike out all of the bill after the enacing clause
| to the section providing fora sinking fund
Mr.. Bell, Of Augusta spoke earnestly in ia
vor of the bill, as it came from the Senate
and opposed the amendment, which he charac
erlzed as temporary reputation of the pub
lie debt
| Mr.. Woodson explained that, individually
he was opposed to Reputation but that upon
SO grave question he wished to consult the
| wishes of his constituents aud be guided BY
them
Mr. Smith, of RUSSELL favored the amend.
ment, and spoke in opposition to the bill.
Nlr. Thomas advocated the passage of the
| bill, without amendments calculated to weaken
it, so far as the assumption and payment of the
public debt was concerned.
The vote was then taken on Mr.. Woodson'
amendment; which was rejec'ed-o11y IL vot-
| ing for it.
| The question then came up on the adoption
OF Speaker Turner's amendment. which that
| gentleman advocated at length.
The amendment was opposed by Messrs
| Thurman, Guy aud Popham-the latter gen
tieman concluding by offering resolution com
hitting the bill to the Committee on Courts Of
Justice, with instructions TO ascertain and re-
| port whether the public securities of the Com
1nonwealth of Virginia or any part thereof, i
| liable to interest for the period Of time en-
braced in the late war, and that said committee
be empowered to sit during the session of the
| House
| After some discussion, ths resolution. vas
| agreed to-yeas Is, nays IS
Mr.. Mahood moved to reconsider the vote
just taken; which was rejected by a vote Of
| 81 noes to SO ayes.

and the ability and conservatism which he dis

and the ability and conservatism which he dis
played in that body, fully vindicated the wis
dom of their choice
These gentlemen are both favorites of the
people of Virginia, and are eminenty worthy
of their confidence. =
The Enquirer will hereafter be conducted on
high conservative principles Reputation in
all its forms and phases, will find in them stur-
dy opponents. Every thing tending to vio-
lation of the obligation of contracts or to bring
stain On the escutcheon of Virginia by igno-
ring her public debt, will be frowned upon by
them.
The Enquirer will be the steady and inhexi-
BILE opponent of radicalism, in whatever form
it may show itself. 1t will strive to restore to
the States the rights which have been wrested
from them by violence, and to inculcate prop
er respect for the constitution and the laws.
In domestic matters it will be the advocate
of every measure calculated to revive the pros
perity of Virginia 1t will seek to encourage
the influx of population and capital into the
State, and the development of her resources
agricultural, mineral, manufacturing and com
mercial -
While the Enquirer will be the friend of In
ternal improvements. it will not be the partisan
of any particular road or interest, or clique
We gather from the opening address of the
editors, that these will be the ends and aims of
the paper, and believing such to be the fact,
we cordially recommend it to the favor of our
readers.
The Enquirer will be one of the cheapest pa
pers in the State-the Daily costing but six
doliars-the Semi Weekly 81, and the Week
ly So.

STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-A steam fire engine
| and two. hose carriages, from Philadelphia,
| passed through this place this morning, via the
| O. A. & N. r. r., en- route for Staunton, Va.
The engine, the Assistance No. s. was of
rather an old pattern but looked as if it was a
very serviceabe one. One hose carriage was
| from the Perseverance No. 5. = and the other
from the Columbia No, s." Upon the latter
were two placards, upon which the following
inscriptions were printed We take our
Wine Supper in old Virginia - Rabbits will
still sun themselves Both had full compile
ment of fine leather hose with the patent James
compiling, -Aler Gazette.
The steam fire engine spoken of above ar
rived here safely, and excited considerable in.
terest on the part Of the citizens on Thursday
last, when 1t was experimental with by the
firemen Who tested its capacity for throwing
water. The fremen, who have long desired
steam engine, are much pleased and we hope
that 1t will have the effect Of adding to the
number OF the fire company, whilst it will ena-
bic them 10 render more efficient service in case
OF lire: We hope however, that they NAV
never Rave occasion to test it upon fire, But
as fires will occur, it is wise to be always pre-
pared and in readiness to combat them with ef-
iciency
