Vircfyrio and Manifestation.

A bill has been introduced in Congress
which provides for q bureau of immigration
in the Treasury Department, and which,
among other features, directs that an agent
be stationed at the principal foreign emigra-
ton ports, whose duty it shall be to inspect
cmigrant vessels, give all necessary informa-
ton to emigrants, and to perform other dl-
ties that may be required OF him. This Is
very Objectionable provision. 1t opens a
wide field for bribery in the interest Of those
States, corporations, and railroads, which
can bring the most money to bear upon the
agent. Virginia would not have the ghost
of a chance under such law. The subject
of immigration is so important to Virginia
that our representatives in Congress ought to
watch every measure which bears upon her
interests in this direction. At the same time
our financial policy at home must he on sound
principles, or it will matter little what meas
llres ore adopted with regard to immigration.
Virginia needs both capital and labor. We
want men who will be able to buy bonds,
and we want laborers whose competition will
stir up those we now have. We want an
agent Of our own in Europe to secure us just
such persons. If we can sell some Of our
bonds, introduce money into the State, and
finish our railroads, Virginia will go forward
and emerge triumphantly from the present
crisis in her affairs. But that can never be
accomplished while the Legislature hampers
with the credit Of the State. The first and
most essential condition to attract capital and
immigration is the establishment of the State
credit LyachbGrg Nel7s.

have nassed two or three resolutions To- the
effect that thew consider the obligation topay

ing of it or you would not have consloefeo
1t necessary to deny it. ,..
The public creditors-the' bondho'ders--
seem to think these resolutions were passed
for b,lncou,be; for the bonds have been
going down. down, down, and they nave noI
touched bottom yet. And it makes no dill
ference what law is passed this session IN re-
lation to the debt, the credit of the old Com
mopycaltb has already received blow from
which it. will not soon recover; for the 1neIii-
beers of the Legislature have already shown
nv their claptrap speeches and preclpitate
and upadvised action, a disregard for tile
sacredness of State obligations which auglrs
i'll for the security Of creditors.

burden Of the State taxes, but will it pay TO
have them reduced ut the expense OF State
honor? .,-,..< <.., ,,-.s.>-.,
If we must retrencll, as retrench we ought,
let us do it in a different manner; let our
lords, the legislators, reduce their expenses
by one-halr, that there may be no inducement
for cobblers, tobacco-twisters, carpenters, OF
field.hands to leave their vacations to become
law-tinkers; let the per diem be reduced to
SO day, and mileage to actual expenses; let
them sec that economy Is observed in all OF

Grand asia.a Of Relief.

Editors Dispatch:
I sec a great deal said about the State debt.
Some propose one t!iiHg and some another:
Thc Inst was that the United States should
assume the debt. This am opposed TO. l
would reverse 1t. Our Legislature has clearly
demonstrated to us that Virginia Is capable
Of managing her own financial affairs. Let
hcr neri'ect what she has commenced. Let
hcr wine out her debt in full by reputation,
thereby saving or making fifty millions.
Then let her assume all county, city, toWn,
md corporation debts within the State
then in like manner repudiate the Whole
making one hundred millions more. linen
she shall assume all individual debts OF her
citizens. and then also repudinte them
making one hundred millions more. Yr'
rinia will thereby have saved or made TWO
hundred and fifty millions and have cleared
herself and citizens of NIL debts Whatever,
and will have established the reputation OF
being the greatest inancier that ever existed
She will then be in condition to negotiate
with fine United States and settle the great
rational debt in the same way, also all the
other States. cities, towns, counties, &c, ~
the Union, thereby getting clear of more In
debtedncss than ever before existed in any
one country land costing nothing except the
per diem, and being so great an amount
TINT there are not ten men in Virginia who
would ever compute it. We should then be
the greatest and wealthiest people that live
upon the earth. Our State would lend or
give US anything we wanted. Forty acres
and mule would not be bait for the poor
est. ..-. . .,,. g.
As to the creditors, everybody would re-
ioice ut their losses, because we all know that
they are nothing but set of Shylocks, made
all their money by shaving the poor and
needy. and would take the last drop of blood
and not be satisfied. MODERN hELlRF.'

IMMIGRATIoN.-Th State Journal seems TO
think it strange that in the little paragraph
which appeared in the Dispatch Of yesterday
on the subject of immigration no reference
was made to the northern people who might
migrate or wish to migrate hither. The fact
Is, we did not include the northern States
among those "furrin" countries from which
we expect purchasers Of our lands. We do
not call the northern people who come
hither immigrants" They already belong
to the country. They cannot come into it.
And SO forgetting that Virginia was once Il
sovereign State, and therefore might then have
invited Immigrants from the North, we
spoke yesterday as if this were a nation-a con-
solidated despotism--a country having "a
powerful Government at its capital-a CEN
tralized union of fettered States, and there
fore "one and indivisible" in thought as in
fact. We were imbued with the spirit OF
LINCOLN and PATRICK HENRY, and beheld the
Union as bearing the same relation to the
States as the States do to their counties, and
SO, knowing that it is not common to speak
of Immigrants" from Fairfax into Rich
mond, We did not know but it might be
deemed disloyal In Us to speak of our north
ern brethren who might come hither to share
our fortunes as Immigrants"
But we have no objection to stating that
we desire to see our northern fellow-citizenS
coming to Virginia in colonies-that is, those
Of them who are such men as the "immi-
grant" who edits the Stale Journal. Wen
gladly welcome all such, Notwithstanding
their abominable politics. .

For tlc DISPATCH.


The Legislature should repeal the clause
of the school law which makes vaccination
prerequisite to admission. Are there not
enough difficulties in starting the free schools
without this unnecessary incumbrancer Cam
not the doctors and public opinion be LETT to
regulate the subject? 49,
When the poor widow has made her ar
rapgcments at great sacrifice to spare her
son 10 90 to school for q few weeks, why
should lie be refused for want of vaccination,
when there is no smallpox within one hun
dred miles? Should not the parent be al
lowed to wait until he has had an opportu-
nity to procure pure vaccine matter!
| understand that many of the ablest Eng
fish PHYSICIANS are in favor of abolislling the
custom entirely, rs they believe that more
harm is done by vaccination in propagating
diseases from impure matter than good i'll
preventing smallpox.
As children are constantly dropping in and
dropping out of public schools, it must ne
cessarily be q source Of constant trouble to
teachers and trustees.
The vaccination feature might be retained
for city schools if the city people prefer it.

Reconciliation.

The word is horrible ore, but not half as
horrible as the act.
We feel as if it is incumbent on the press of
Virginia to make their voice heard in relation
to this matter. There are many persons who
talk very glibly of the losses consequent on
the war, the failures of crops, the high taxes,
&C., &C., &C., and VINO try to work them
selves up to that point at which they think
they could summon courage to say, " it is
honest to steal, il somebody has stolen from
us"; but their better nature rcyolts, and Us
far as our observation extends, none SO base
have yet been found. But the tendency of
public opinion, if the actions Of some Of our
legislators can be supposed to reflect it, seems
to be to avoid assuming any obligation to pay
the State debt.
There are few who appreciate the i'm.
portance to individuals Of good faith on the
part of the State. Prsting demagogues have
talked of reputation, and have endeayored
to show that there is no personal obligation
resting on citizens to maintain the State
honor.
Many persons who have not examined this
matter carefully and reflected upon the con-
sequences think it only necessary for the LIE
gislature to pass 4 law to that effect, and thus
wipe out all the former Indebtedness Of the
State. We have no idea that any such law
can he passed that will not be in conflict with
the United States Constitution, which says
that no law may lie passed by State Legis-
laturc impairing the virtue Of a contract be-
tween man and man; but no matter whether
such law can be passed or not, or whether
it could stand or not, the infamy Of it would
attach to every citizen of the State, and be a
pecuniary injury far counterbalancing any
relief such measure could supply.
This inlalny would be personal; the name
of citizen of Virginia would be reproach;
and through the whole civilized world we
would be scoffcd.
But not alone would 1t affect our reputa.
ton as citizens. 1t would have most crush.
ing effect on the individual credit of each
merchant, planter, or mechanic in the State.
AS the State is made up of integers, and each
one must bear his share of the response
bilty, it would be considered by outsiders
that the citizens Of the State supported the
Legislature in making the laws, and il they
would repudiate State debts, it would be a
logical sequence that the only reason they
do not repudiate all debts is that they have
no law to legalize suchrepudiation.
We are led to these remarks by the action

NOT ALARMED.-Mr. GREELEY's outspoken
dcnunciations Of the corruptions of the New
York crstom-housc clique, and his opposi-
ton to the denomination of General GRANT,
have caused some of his friends to fear that
his paper was losing some Of its patronage.
He states that such is not the case; but that,
on the contrary, the Tribune received fifteen
thousand moro new mail subscribers in the
first five weeks Of 1872 than it did in tue
corresponding period Of last year. And
this, as he says, in spite of the efforts OF
GRANTS postmastcrs to reduce the circula-
ton Of his paper.
