THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF VIRGINIA Is
attracting the attention of the entire country.
Not content with funding the State debts and
raising disturbance afterwards, which has
led to the suspension Of the interest due to
bona fde bondholders on the LIST of January,
the manipulators Of affairs at Richmond aim
at no less piece Of political trickery than the
complete reputation of their entire liabilities.
These are the charges, according to cur report,
laid at the doors of those who wish to repeal
the Funding act altogether, instead of merely
suspending its action, as the Legislature
has, by ignoring the veto of the Governor to
the contrary. IT. on the other hand the
charges alleged against the projectors OF the
Funding act are sustained in fact Virginia has
need of political revolution d la New York
TO puree out the corruption and trckery ex-
listing among her lawmakers; to Dust the
nresent ofice-holders, and, by determined
blow. strike out the men who are running hee
morally and socially, bringing her treasury to
berpary and destroying her credit.

THE LOUISIANA TIGERS are still growing
and screeching in the New Orleans political
Jungle. warmoth has sent message to his
faithful Afty-two in the House, and Carter has
issued his pronunciamento. In the mean
while the militia are unreliable, bloodshed is
anticipated, and General ENJOY, .ae Mayor
and many wise citizens want the President to
declare martial law. This, no doubt. will be
the next move. The carpet-baggers and seal.
awags are making such q fuss it is wonder
that Father Mississippi does not rise and wash
the entire crew into the Gulf.

their respective positions in the war now being
waged against the administration. Schurz paid
his compliments to one of our c0ntempo-
raries, which he designated as "the metro
politan organ Of the administration" and
whose statements in regard to himself consti-
tuted, be said, one of the most remarkable
cases of cumulative, intrepid and shameless
lying that ever disgraced American journal
ism. That will do, Master Karl

that they possessed powerful navy-eecond
only, perhaps, to those Of England and
France. Intent upon selfish ends and imbued
with the prevailing spirit Of demagoguism,
our public mon have avoided dealing honestly
with this question. preferring rather to tickle
the spread-eagle conceit Of their constituents
by making no allusion to dsagreeable sub
ject or by deliberately stating what they
knew was incorrect. 1t is time that our
citizens should be enlightened, that they may
fix the blame where 1t belongs and hasten to
insist upon the reparation of dangerous
mistake.
Practically we have no navy, and are not
able to protect ourselves on the sea In the
| event Of sudden war. With q sum total Of
only forty-nine armed vessels, mainly Sec
ond and third rates-many Of them engaged
in the promotion Of our commercial
interests abroad-it Is manifest that In case
of collision with any Of the respectable
Powers Of the earth the security of our
coast at least would be seriously endangered
Experience teaches that against iron-clad
steamers harbor Notifications are of but little
avail, and, as at New Orleans, Island No.
10 and vicksburg, such defences, even II they
may not be reduced, can be passed. The for
tincations of New York harbor, or those on
the Delaware river, cannot prevent power
full enemy from passing by them; but tor.
pedoes can. The late war between France
and Germany has proved that for coast and
harbor defences the torpedo is equal to any
emergency. BY these torpedoes the other
wise exposed German seaports and inlet
were made perfectly secure; and thus, Ii
this late war, the splendid navy Of France
hardly second to that Of Great Britain, be
came utterly powerless and useless for often
} sve purposes. So for our seaports and inlet
we have, In the torpedo, absolute securit
against all corners.

show that it is one not fit to be made at this time.
It is notorious that the people demand a
thorough reform 10 railroad management in
this State. This was no doubt one of the
principal incentives Of the political revolution
that recently swept over the State. 1t is In
deed the most imperative duty that the Legs-
lature is called upon to perform. Municipal
reformation can be accomplished ny the votes
of the people, even should the existing laws
remain untouched; but nothing can be done
to destroy the tremendous power Of the rail-
road rings without the Intervention Of the
State Legislature. This power has been ac-
qulred by corrupt legislation; by honest legis-
lation it must be stricken down, for the peo-
pie have no voice in the matter except through
their representatives at the State Capitol.
These facts must have been we'll known to
Senator Woodin, who has had the selection OF
the Senate committees, and he must have been
we'll aware that the measures advocated
and desired by the people this SEES
sion are such as will be in theil
interest against the encroachments anu
greed of railroad rings. 1t is said that Sena-
tor Woodin went to Albany as what is com
monty known as an anti-railroad man-that is'
as one who is opposed to the abuse or corpo'
rate powers to the injury Of the public and To-
the profit Of corrupt combinations OF indi
viduals. Yet he has become suddenly ant
wonderfully so well convinced that pone bu

of tho railroad rings are competent to serve q

has been committed.
General Slocum tried to introduce resolution
in regard to the interference of Custom House
and Internal Revenue officers with the organi-
cation of the Legislature at Albany, but he
was prevented by an objection from General
Butler, who also stopped by the same means
a proposed inquiry into the interference Of
federal officials In the Louisiana legislative
middle.
Mr.. Morgan, Of Ohio, succeeded In gett ing
an expression of the sentiment of the House
on his proposed amendment Of the constitu-
tion.so as to make naturalized citizens eligible
to the Office Of President and Vice Presid ent
of the United States. AL such propositions
REQUIRE a majority of two-thirds in either
| House but this, although it had majority Of
fifteen. did not come up to the requirement,
aud was, consequently, defeated, for the
present. at least But 1t affords too good an
opportunity of making cheap capital among
foreiQn-born voters TO allow US to suppose
that Mr.. Morgan will rest satisfied with his
defeat. On the contrary, we expect to have
IL brought up again and again until
all political disabilities are removed from

of the American Presidency be offered to all

 General Crook is no more responsi- ble fer this state of affairs than he is for storms and earthquakes, or the ex- istence of those who do and will deny our declarations through ignorance,
 malice, or hope of some share in the profits without the dangers of the plan which has made this ominous condition. A bad agent who never reports to him is at Grant, and for whose conduct he Is not responsible. The policy which has compelled a cessation of hostilities against the Apaches, total abstinence, for a given time, of any punishment how ever insolent or criminal, is one he never recommended and always de- clared would produce no good results but the contrary. This people and the country are reminded of these facts. If with a cautious and rigid observance of the truce, and its accom- panying good treatment of the Apa- ches, they remain in peace, General Crook will not care for more credit than that of 8 soldiers duty under the circumstances but should they go on the war path, as all appearances indicate, he must in no sense be held therefor.

Bur for U. s. District Attorney Rowelfs fearful lying about what could be proven against the Camp Grant Massacre parties, grand jury would not have been called to inyes- tigate the matter. As liar, he was only temporary success in this in stance. In connection with his own testimony on the stand in that case, he was told he swore to lie, and he has taken no steps to refute the charge. Probably Tn no case on rec ord was there ever more vicious and official lies told by the managing prosecutors than in the one referred to, and the "unmitigated scoundrel |" Rowell is the father of many.

THE Fifth Cavalry is now all in Arizona. From all reports we get, 1t seems to be very fine regiment of officers and men anxious to do credit able service, and that harmony pre- vails among its members. As yet we have met but one Othcer-Lt. c. H. Rockwell of L Troop, who is assigned to duty as qGartermaster and com missary at Camp Grant. We are very favorably impressed with Lieu tenant Rockwell, and believe that he is entitled to the true respect of all classes. He has been in town for Q few days, but will to-day proceed to duty as stated.
 We understand that a temporary distribution of cavalry will be some thing like this: Three Troops at Grant; one at Bowie; one at Critten- den; one more here, and the re- mainder at Mcdowell and other posts Of course, after February 18th thanges are liable at anytime to be made.

 CAMP BOWIE, A. T., Jan. 25, 1872.
 John Wasson, Esq, Tucson, A. T.. Sir: I have the honor to inform you that yesterday, about 4:3O P. M., the mail driver from Tucson, named John Bedford, arrived at the Post and stated that both mails had been captured by Indians and that he was wounded in the hand.
 I at once got together as many men as I could spare from the Post and proceeded out to bring in the bodies and what property l could find. About five miles from the Post found the dead bodies of A. J. Bice and John Petty, who were in the blackboard bound west, and within about three miles of the Post 1 found the body of Thomas Donovan, who was riding an animal belonging to MT. Futile, beef agent at this Post. The first two named persons were completely strip ped of their clothing.
 I found and brought in one buck board (the one coming eastward from Tucson), but no traces of the mails except few letters picked up from the westward bound mail, some of which lie before me now all blood stained.
 start out this morning in search of the mails with all the men I can get mounted, and hope to get some traces of them and will give you a further account.
 send dispatches to Tucson to- day by mounted men, as our mails are very uncertain and want to have Troop of Cavalry sent here, as in case of depredations by Aplches pur- suit by infantry is almost impossible. The bodies of the three dead men will receive proper burial to-day
 I got one blackboard, which onlyI needs new shafts to put it in runningl order. More by next mail if I learn anything worthy of note. Very rel spectfully your obe't servant,
