e.s.i.,ia Legislature.


,r,,r financial condition of Virginia is pro-
i,aL|y moi worse than it was a few weeks OF
months a~u but it certainly appears worse.
As facts come TO light, rs the action Of the
Legislature develops, and as the motives for
that action become more plain, it Is evident
that tie excessive corruption which seems 70
chslactorize our public men at the present
day has crown and ilourished in, the old
state, When we see railroad companies and
other Influential public corporations deprc-
eating ,Ic Iallic stocks in order to invest in
them themselves When we SEQ these compa-
MES using the Legislature, aud the Legisla-
tllrc conscuting TO he used, i'll order to fur
illcr the Ubiquitous design, ought we not to
blush for the inf:tmy OF our public
men? il is the formally expressed opin-
ion of the Legislature, founded on the
" solcinn representations OF responsible
parso.l>," that the funding bill was
passed through the last House Of Delegates
hy Il combination Of stockholders and "un-
princiD!ed members Of the Legislature"
And now the story goes, with good grounds
for truth that the SAME act has been sus-
pended in the interest Of railroad corpora
lions for the purpose we have stated. This
il not the way 10 improve the public credit,
nor to strengthen confidence III the national
honor. 1t cannot he too strcnuouSly con-
demnch, ami YET we fear il must not be re-
gar,led ~ feature of Virginia politics only.
Let rs honestly and fairly admit to our own
cGnscirncc5 that there has been suffered to
Grow up among Us 4 low tone Of public mo-
raiity which threatens TO disgrace State after
State il the Union. and we shall have taken
the iis: step to remedy these lmSccmly scan
da,s.
Politics has become trade with us, and
we nave given ii up TOO much 10 the class of
adventures and SPECTATORS. We want
state.mci, not politicians; mcn Of honor and
patriotism, not lncn ready to sacrifice their
country's best interests for il few dollars.
The tine has come when Our best men must
come TO TIE front, for these repeated expo
slrcs in regard To public finances are work
ing upa sea Of evil, which in due time will
master IL. Virginia must look to herself, or
ere long, il matters stand is they do now,
her credit will be not only gone, but for
many years made irrcdcemablc. Issue, 18Th.

The FRIDGE.

Some effort Is being made by few citi-
Zens TO ha,,lk in the House the senate oi'
,e,,y;z;rr Tie subscription of Richmond 10
,;,c construction Of the bridge across James
river. ut the end Of Ninth street. opposit'oh
:, al pub!;c works rcqiiringthe expenditure
oc money Is never failing. 1t Is an iiii'ii'.'-
hle law. Nothing very deSiraDe can y.
sn,,;ovoa without some outlay Of money ana
orcrov generally q large amount OF both.
so ,,,., ~, have no right to expect lmmu-
nj,v from opposition for the bridge scheme
II i certainly one Of great value to our peo-
ME and must submit to the test OF OPPOSE
ton.
We cannot see what the opposition can
hone to accomplish by the alternative pro
poSnion they are understood to favor-'lz''
t,c submission of the question to the popll'
-, vote. n,t. ycs, we can see; it is delay.
,r,ot can nr;n no real advantage for them,
while i, must do serious public INJURY.
~ snvely rs the question is submitted to
tle neople the proposition will be carried by
an Overwhelming vote. But rs 1t costs se'e'
"a, thousand dollars to take the vote OF this
rjty. the CITY Council wisely applied to the
legislature in order to avoid that eXpcndi-
,,Irr. the gentlemen who are endeavol1n9
TO defeat the bill are economists" per er'
c.!iopcc, Bat is il not singular that they
should seek to involve the city i'll 4 consider
mile cyuc,,sc 10 10 what the Legislature can
% easily do, and Vt last to do that whiel, Will
certainly defeat iae purpose they have III
yicyv-,i2., the defeat Of the subscription by
Richmond 10 the bridge!
We are not aware Of the opinions OF all
t',n CITY delegates on the subject. AS FAR as
we know they will sustain the bill. That
hin i while calculated to do the city nj large
,nurI, good, Of especial interest to the me-
..lr91ics and also 10 the poor. 1t Will open 10
Then, = new means Of recreation and Il new
are, for comfortable dwellings near their
places oi' OCCUPATION and labor. This i'm
nortant lcncGt they nj! fully understand, and
they will, il it ever comes to them, send this
brj,lgc subscription ahead on such a tall and
strong wave that opposition will be OF no
effect. But We do not consider that the adj
v,nta@cs of this bridge are peculiarly for
them. II will DO good to all men and all
Interests. We hope the Legislature will pass
t!.c bill and ''Sivc lis peace" OF THIS subject.

Fisk'S debts are all settled his property will
not amount TO more than 100000. His life
was insured for $4,000 in the Equitable

singular statement be true, the flourish of

mentS he executed will giving large sums
