TIE PUBLIC DEBT.
The considerations Of this subject was re-
sumcd, the question being upon agreeing 10
Mr.. O'FERRALLs substitute.
Mr. PoAGUE earnestly opposed the suDstl-
t,lte under consideration, and lncldencilyre-
Elected upon the sentiments OF Mr. OtER-
RAIL rs enunciated in card published When
he was candidate for the House OF Dele
gates. In this card addressed to the voters
of Rockingham county, Mr.. O'FERRALL had
declared that lie did not believe the State Of
Virginia, Us at present constituted, in honor
bound for the debt of the old sovereignty.
Mr.. PoAGUE compared the course of certain
gentlemen to that Of the highwayman who
fakes a mans purse and holds that he was
not in honor bound to return it, because, for
sooth, he couldn't be forced to doit.
Mr.. O'FERRALL demanded to know If the
gentleman from Rockbridge Nlr. PoAdUE) in
tended to liken him to robber or his sense
of honor to that Of highwayman.
MIR. PoAauE said he mad no such intention.
His comparison applied only to his idea of
the gist the card cited, and had no personal
reference whatever.
AIR. UFErRALL rejoined, and was called to
order by the Speaker (hlr. BOOKER In the
chnir) for remarks rather personal.
The minority report was ably advocated
by Messrs. CUMMINGS and Brooke.

The Missouri Fiasco.

The Chicago Evening Post has obtained
some facts in relation to the Missouri I;be,.,
Convention which are worth knowing. Will.
the convention was heralded abroad a. a verv
large, respectable and important convention.
it appears to have been quite the opposite.
The Post says the following facts have now
TRANSFERRED:
l. 1t was not a convention at all; but
mass meeting.
II. 1t was not one of the largest conven.
tons ever held in the State of Missouri, but
one OF the very smallest Of mass meetings.
The whole number of persons on the roll was
only hundred and twenty-one!
Ill. There are a hundred and fourteen
counties in the State of Missouri. From
sixty nine of these counties not single rep
resentative was present.
~. OF the hundred and twenty-one per-
sons enrolled, two.thirds are ascertained to
be Democrats; men never in any way asso-
ciated with the Republican party. And this
Is the body the Chicago Tribune warns four
millions OF Republicans to beward of!
V. There are 10000 Republicans in Mis-
souri,, taking out the Democrats. Forty Re-
publicans. out Of 10000 meet, declare them
selves 1--WE the people Of Missouri" and SOL
EMMY announce, with faces of becoming
gravity, that if 4, 100000 Republicans in the
United States do not accept the Presidential
nominee of these forty Republicans, these
forty Republicans will overthrow the 1000,
Ooo OF Republicans, and elevate the rotten
Democratic party to power! And the Chi
cago Tribune says they will, too.
A State convention in Missouri, containing
delegates from hundred and fourteen coun-
ties, aggregates eight or nine hundred men.
A mass meeting in Missouri, if it be anything
better than Democratic caucus in . saloon,
aggregates five thousand men. Let the
country now judge whether this fasco of the
maicontents deserves the name of either mass
meeting or convention.

above the front gate and formed ID double file
with arms reversed. The solemn cartegs then
began descending the steps of the Archiepis-
copal residence. 1t was headed by three
young men. the centre one carry ing a large
crucifix, and those On each side large lighted
candles. These were followed by priests of
the different churches and students solemnly
chanting, dressed in their robes of office.
Next in order were Bishops Foley and
Wheelan, dressed in deep purple trailing
robes supported by boys. They participated
in singing and were followed by other priests
also chanting. These were followed by a
large number of gentlemen. Next came the
bier and coffin, draped in black cloth and al
most hidden under the profusion of the
choicest flowers arranged in crosses and gar.
lands supported by six pail bearers, members
OF the Archbishop's church. The trustees of
the cathedral acted as honorary pail bearers.
AS the procession moved along the most re.
spectful silence prevailed. The members of
the different societies ranged along the side
walks and raised their hats and the whole as
semblage intuitively followed their example.
After the procession entered the church the
gates were closed and the religious services
commenced.

Mr.. JAMES l. FELLOWS, ST. JOHN, N. B.
SlR:-IIaving, while at your establishment,
carefully examined your prescription, and the
method of preparing your Compound Syrup,
felt anxious to give it a fair trial in my prac-
tice. For the last twelve months have done
SO, and find that in Incipient Consumption,
and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
it has done wonders. In restoring persons
suffering from the effects of Diptheria, and
the cough following Typhoid Fever, preva-
lent in this region, it is the best remedial
agent ever used But for persons suffering
from exhaustion of the powers of the brain
and nervous system, from long continued
study or teaching, or in those cases of ex-
haustion from which so many young suffer,
know of no better medicine for restoration to
health than your Compound Syrup.

are at liberty to use it as you see fit.

We are permitted to make an extract from
a private letter received in this city in rea-
ton to the circumstances attending the death
of Mrs. Rose I. Bird, daughter of the late
Solomon Leonard OF this city, which was
briefly announced in yesterdays paper, and
which we think will have a sad interest to her
many friends and acquaintance in this imme-
date vicinity:
81 suppose ere this you have heard of the
death of our dear Rose. l returned last night
from the funeral She was buried from Win
ter Hill, at MIR. Morse's, where she had been
stopping two weeks with her mother.
She seemed as well as usual and started to
go to the horse cars, for Boston; accompanied
by Mr., Morse. They had few rods to CO. to
the main street; she said to him, ''pease don't
hurry, you know cannot walk fast" He
knew he was walking very slow, and at that
moment the car started, before they got to it,
and he perceiving she faltered, said 81
think we had better go into the house and
wait until the next car comes along. They
went in, and she sat down ina large easy chair.
Her breath came dreadfully hard and she
| seemed to fail but had her senses perfectly
She said "don't put cold water on me, it will
| not be right" They sent Immediately for a
physician. She failed very rapidly, and when
be arrived she had passed away"
Mrs. Bird leaves a son to whom the sudden
event will be terrible blow, and to all it veri-
fies the truth of scripture SIN the midst of
life we are in death"

Mr.. COlfax's Letter.

Our dispatches of yesterday morning men,
toned letter from Mr.. Colfax in relation to
the Presidency and Vice Presidency. 1t will
be seen by this that Mr.. Colfax is cand-
date for Vice President but not for Presi-
dent. An effort has been made to place him
in false position. This letter will shed all
the light needed as to his intentions. This
will give him a clear course for the nominal
ton for Vice President.
New YORK, Feb. II.
A special despatch from indianapolis to
the Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday, says that
President Colfax has written letter to the
editor of the Journal, in which after noticing
a telegram from Indianapolis to the effect
that a concerted effort was been made to se-
cure for him the republican nomination for
President, he says
No such effort is being made anywhere by
my wish or authority. Publicly and private
ly have invariably declared myself in favor
of President Grants nomination, as we'll as
to those not friendly to it as those who were,
| and have so written to every friend in Indi-
ana who has asked my opinion. When the
ticket of Grant and Colfax was elected in
| 1868, determined there should be no alien
alton between them growing out of the dis
| tribution of Presidential patronage, in regard
| to which resolved not to obtrude, not from
any lack of friendship and good will on my
part, and am glad to state that this was
most cordially reciprocated by the President,
so that there has never been the slightest dis
turbance of our most desirable personal ant
political relations; nor can any discord il
the party be traced to any real, or even pre-
tended antagonism between us. feel deep
ly the obligations am under to the repubii
cans of Indiana and the nation for their Ion,
continued confidence and political duty to
party whose record for the past ten years i
the noblest ever made by any party in an,
country or any age. 1t induces me to sa'
| that if the National convention deemed
wisest to renominate me for the office hold
would accept; but my interest in the con
tinued ascendency of republicanism is ia
greater than my personal consideration, ant
if the convention prefers some one else fol-
the Vice Presidency, and there are many
worthier and ADLER, no man shall exceed me
in the cordiality and earnestness with which
l shall support him. l am not a candidate
for the Presidential nomination, being just
as decidedly as ever in favor of President
Grants denomination, and hope our e>nven-
ton on the 22d will so declare unanimously.
