have we sought to avert war.
When il comes it will come as q great
necessity both for US and for humanity. The
rights of American citizens are constantly out
ragged by the Spaniards. Cuba is menace and
an insult to us. Sooner or later we must free
ourselves from the complications which spring
almost daily from our relations with that
island. The acquisition of the Spanish-Amer-
lean countries is fast becoming desirable, and
gift, but by force and from necessity. Con-
slant insult from the second hand Spanish
hdalgos of the West Indies and incessant
trouble through their presumption and arro-
gance are forcing il on u.s. war will change
all this and leave us free from outside inter-
ferences and at liberty to pursue our own des-
tiny in our own way.
When the HERALD first announced the prob
ability OF war with Spain, the extended COM
ments Of the press showed how much it was
desired by the people, while they indicated
how little the people were prepared for the an
nouncement. The facts contained in that an
nouncement have since been printed piece.

recognizes in the end that the HERALD was
right In the beginning. But who know,
whether war shall become an accomplished
fact even now? Nobody can explain the pro
cesses by which the war rumors have thickeuec
till they have become cloud in density. Sec
rotary Fish is as conservative now as ever
and yet the Navy Department pauses not i
its preparations and continues to strengthe

are talking war, and the Spaniard

Conservative State Convention.

COnS6raClVe state Convention,
The Conservative State Convention which
was held In Richmond on Thursday and Friday
last, represented the character, talents and pa
triotism of the State, and was very similar to
that grandest of all State Convention (which
met in the same building in 1867, at which, Nv
the cordial union of the Democratic and VJb;g
parties of the State, the Conservative = artv vas
formally and solemnly organized, Nv which our
beloved State, whose fame, N the lononaoe
of Senator Thurman, ''wilD endure as long as
genius has worshippe,f, freedom disciple, or
herolsm an admlre..r. - was saved from the in
conceivable btorrors and intolerable oppression
OF Radlcs. domination. This Convention, like
that, mas done its work well, and like that it
Fill be productive of great good. Virginia in
her highest character-in her sovereiqnty-has
expressed with emphasis and force, the decision
of her deliberately formed judgment, and de-
clared in an unmistakable manner that it was
the patriotic duty of her sons to give a united
and unhesitating support to the ticket of Gree
ley and Brown, and all who are not unworthy
of her will yield flial obedience to her express
ed wishes, which have, with her true sons. the
force of solemnly-declared mandate. When
Virginia thus expresses her views and wishes
in reference to the duty of her SONS, with them
it should be-"to hear, as to Obey" That some
will rebel against her will, there can be no
doubt; but that they will be few, very few, is
equally certain. With but few, very few, ex-
ceptions in this State, the Conservatives and
liberal Republicans will vote for Greeley and
Brown, and the Radicals and negroes will vote
for Grant and Wilson.
The proceedings of the Convention are pub
lished in another column.

The Question of Intere' #

AS, by vote of the people, ne clause in the
constitution respecting iDt.erest has been repeal
ed, there is now no CONSTITUTIONAL provision
on the subject, AID the whole matter rests with
the next Legislature to pass what it may please.
Nevertheless. the Legislature passed on March
18th, 1870, law to carry out the interest clause
of the Constitution, and as the latter has been
expunged, therefore, after the proclamation of
the Governor announcing this decision on the
question, the law of interest will continue to be
that of March 18th, 1870; or, in other words,
the repealed clause of the Constitution will re-
main in force by virtue of that law till that law
is repealed or altered by the Legislature. That
body will have the power, while setting some
rate where none is particularly mentioned, to
fix the maximum3by special contract at twelve
per cent. or at any other figure; or to refuse to
fix any maximum whatever, thus allowing a
man to hire out his money as freely as any 9TH
er property, and to get the most he can for it.
