Virginia had funded at last accounts
S23, 600, 900 of her debt. Only tWo.tbirds
Of it are to be funded. The holders of the
old bonds receive certificates for the other
third, these certificates to be fundable into
new bonds when settlement shall have
been made with West Virginia. These
certificates have got into the stock boards,
along with Virginia bonds, and are quoted
as "West Virginias," it being supposed
that they represent debt for which West
Virginia bonds will have to be issued.
They are quoted at 2S@2Skc. on the dol
lar. Those who have confidence in a salts
factory settlement and in the good faith
and ability Of the two States to provide for
debt of fifty millions might find it good
speculation to buy up these certificates.
IT West Virginia had any money, or could
borrow any it would be a shrewd stroke
Of business for her to buy a few millions Of
them. They would be good for their face
In q settlement, and being purchuseable
at little over a fourth of par, it Wouldn't
take many millions Of actual cash invested
in that way to let us out. Whether this
operation would be open to the objection
that obtains against a debtor buying up his
own Deprecated paper we cannot say

RETURN OF THE CoMMIssIONERS-W HAT

West Virginia commissioners left Rich
Dlond on Friday last, and returned home
Uia Staunton, where they Inspected the
property belonging to the two States, the
Blind Asylum and the Hospital for the In:

ut Richmond to meet in Parkersburg on
the 18th day Of next month, there to COM
plcte their labors and write out their report
10 the Legislature. While they did not
succeed in obtaining oil the information
they desired to obtain ut Richmond. yet
they are in hopes Of receiving something
lther between this and their Parkersburg
meeting, and whether they do or not they
will report upon what they have gathered,
Their position at Richmond, as we under.
stand it, was that it is to the interest Of the
old State more particularly than to West
Virginia to furnish all the needed intorma'
rion as to the minutia Of tue debt, and that
until it is Forthcoming West Virginia can.
not be expected to determine anything def.
mite as to her share Of it. Acting upon
this position they have left it optional with
the authorities over there whether or moi
their request for sundry items OF informa'
ton shall be furnished.
We understand that the commissioners
were highly gratitied with their reception
and treatment by all the citizens of Rich
mond with whom they came in contact.
Nothing but kindness and good feeling were
manifested toward the commissioners per.
| sonally and Of the people whom they repre-.
sented. lAs heretofore noticed, u slight mis-.
understanding occurred at the capitol,
upon which, however, the commissioners
laid very little stress at the time. and which

bull, in conversation upon the supplah''

military, said cit is unfortunate Tor Gov
crnor Palmer that he has been put in the
position at an awkward time OF asserting
the State authority at Chicago. The sym.
uathies Of mankind were with the prompt
and able manner in which General Sheridan
dealt with that conf1lgration. Grateful to
him for bis great services, public opinion
is. in my Judgment, severe and unjust to
Governor Palmer, who was asserting the
chief magstracy Of the State in the case Of
citizen shot down by Il volunteer orgdnl.
zation acting under the auspices of the
United States military commander. In any
other time it would have been an infringe
meut upon the jurisdiction Of Illinois for n
national officer 10 raise troops there. Palmer
had instantly sent State troops to Chicago,
and Sheridan, not needing them, sent them
back. Now, extreme cases make bad prece-
dents. at law the killing OF Grosvener was
murder. The life Ola citizen of the State was
taken in time of peace by q soldiery acting
independent Of any legitimate authority of
the State. But although Governor Palmer
IS temporarily unpopular bis action will
make the ( vernment at Washington cry a

The New Workers have made themselves
fool, over the Grand Duke ALEXIS. The
papers Of that city devote columns to the
young man, and the people OF course read
ali the details furnished them as to his ap.
psarance, habits, family, prospects, etc,
Thesc same papers have the unblushing
impudcncc to poke fun at "rural" and
western" and "provincial" places
waeneYes any Of these make half as much
ado over some local celebrity. Where's the
difference? New Workers are as silly, as
excitable, and as gregarious, as any people
on the face of the earth. They make noun
tains Of what other people call mole-hills,
aud other people make mountains of what
they call mo'e-hius. The folly Of the con-
duct of the most benighted of the provin.
Gals is equalied ON occasion by that Of the

SAYS that the evidence taken at HuntsYllie
Ala, showed that there existed wholesale
piundering, carried on through the 90
yerpmcnt and individual acts OF negroes

many INSTANCES were driven to take the law
int O their own hands to protect their pro

1t was not shown in any Instance that
these acts had anything to do with politics
There are many instances OF arson tor
plumber or revenge, and great many IN,
stances Of rape, which were instantly and
violently punished.
Apart from these things there is no more
violence in the South than in any other
part of the country. The imprisonment
of negroes does not repress plundering 10y
them; they do not regard it as punish
meBt; on the contrary, the prison Is more
comfortable than their cabins, and 1t Is no
disgrace to be incarcerated.
