One other thing l will say: In

days ago, l wish to be understood in a
"Pickwickian" sense. Personally l
have none but the kindest feeling for
him. and but for his politics he would
be capital good fellow. He has more
real ability than any of his party in the
Convention unless it be Mr.. Wiley,
but he does not always permit his judg-
ment to control his actions. He is a
fluent, pleasant speaker, and but for
Radicalism would have a deserved
prominence. 4oRIcK.

geneer, have been parading before the
public mind the fact that some OF the
members of the Convention are holders
of Virginia bonds, and are seeking to
produce an impression that there Is
some disposition upon the part of these
members to commit the State in some
form to the payment Of such OF those
securities as are held by citizens OF this
State. No imputation could be more
false, reckless or unfounded. No sug-
eestiou of the kind has ever been made
here by any bondholder, nor would such
a proceeding be for one moment toler.
ated bv any member OF the Convention,
and least OF all, by any member holding
these deprecated securities. 1t is a
gross and vulgar falsehood which moth
Ing but the most Incorporate party
maliguity could fancy or give EXPIRES
sion to.
Under some resolution adopted by
the Legislature in 1868, Governor Bore
man issued his proclamation calling
upon all the citizens OF this State TO
file a registry OF the bonds of Virginia
which they held on the 18th OF June,
1868. This call was obeyed by some
OF our citizens, and disregarded by many
others. This document exhibiting the
names OF the bondholders, and the
amounts which they respectively held,
was never printed by the Legislature,
but remained without further notice in
the Auditors bureau.
Some member OF the Convention, not
himself bondholder, from what motive
it is difficult to say, unless it was the
qualification Of an idle curiosity, called
for a copy OF that document, and when
received it was ordered to be printed.
When read at the clerks table, Gen.
Wheat, of your city, moved Tor Its
reference to a select. committee. For
what purpose he had that reference was
not satisfactorily explained. During
the proceedings involving that refer
ence, Mr.. Faulkner, President Price
and Gen. Brown, OF Preston, asked to
be excused from voting, as their names
appeared as bondholders in the docu-
ment, and the universal parliamentary
law forbids any member from voting
upon any question in which he has, or
may have, a pecuniary interest. The
subject was laid upon the table the
next day, and has never been heard Of
or thought of since.
And yet, it is in facts such as these,
that partisan correspondents find the
materials upon which they cast impu-
tations upon leading aud prominent
members OF that body.

STATE LIQUOR CoMMIssIoNER's REPORT.
State Liquor Commissioner, Eaton Shaw, in his
annual report states that the sales to cities and
towns in the State for the past year have been
considerably less than during any year since the
large advance in the price of liquors occasioned
by increased revenue taxes. This does not in
dictate that there is less consumption of the straw
material, as shown by the large number who
have taken out wholesale and retail licenses.
and the amount of their sales reported to the
Assessors of Internal Revenue. Town agents
represent the illegal sale around them to have
been so general that the demand at their agen-
cies has become very greatly reduced. The
commissioner complains that some of the town
agents do not purchase their liquors from him.
but patronize the army of runners from the
wholesale liquor warehouses in the large cities
Further, the commissioner thinks that the
omission to establish regular agencies in certain
places, has furnished a strong temptation to
open liquor shops in such places. -t'
Agents are required by the present law to
keep record of the names of all purchasers.
and the use for which liquors are bought, which
record is TO be open to inspection. This leads
many well-disposed persons and a large num-
Der of professed temperance men to patronize
the illegal traffic, on account of the great repue-
nance they feel to having their names and pur-
chases thus recorded and open to public inspec-
ton. The commissioner recommends a change
in the law in this respect. We give few of
the towns and cities which show the largest
sums derived from the sale of LIQUORS

ssBut the Maine Central only wants author
ity to negotiate loan. That is absolutely
all it asks of the Legislature of 1872 1t is

language as the above is addressed to your
presumed stupidity. Nothing more impudent
was ever said or sung. ''Only power to ne

ton that will do the subject justice. When

embarrassed when the question Of realizing

prevents his offering it freely in the markell
But it never occurs to simple artist of that
kind to apply to the Legislature for an act to
relieve him from this trouble by legalizing his
crime and affirming the validity of his title
The people of this State forbade the Maine
Central and Portland & Kennebec roads to do
certain thing which is held to be contrary
to public policy. The roads promptly did it.
But when it became desirable to mortgage
their entire line and to put on the market the
bonds secured thereby, difficulty arose
Their consolidation was illegal, and capitalists
might not like that kind of bonds. So they
ask the Legislature for-authority to negotiate
loan. There is no theft in the case of the
roads, of course, but there is an illegal act
and they have the assurance to ask the Legis
lature to cure it SO that they may reap the
expected advantage therefrom. 1t is an as
tonishing forgetfulness of the well-establishet
principle that no man shall be permitted tt
take advantage of his own wrong. f.,,

WARMoTH AND CARTER.-The disgraceful
events that have taken place in Louisiana since
January LIST have brought very conspicuously
before the public Gov Warmoth and Speaker
Carter. Both are young men; both natives of
the South, the first of New Orleans and the
other of Virginia, both were good soldiers, the
former under the stars and stripes, the latter I'M
der the stars and bars. WarmOth was born in
1874. A lawyer by profession, he is reported to
have accumulated property to the amount of
half million of dollars, mostly in New Or
leans since the war. He is described personally
as six feet three inches in hight, of slender,
why build, but with fine Kentucky looking
face, large nose, full at the nostrils, keen meas
uring eye, a superb moustache, well cut brow
and chin. He is unmarried. ~ -
A correspondent says Warmoth's weakness
es are his rashness, his boyishness and his i'm
placability. He spends short time in at
tempting to compromise, but failing, the other
party is always after an enemy His courage,
mental and physical, has been tested Moral
courage is a stranger in that section.
Carter was eight or ten years an eloquent
Methodist preacher in Virginia; then just be-
fore the war went int Texas When the re-
bellion broke out he Joined the rebel army; be-
came colonel, got into trouble with his superb
or officers and resigned; went to New Orleans,
where he entered firm manufacturing Arm
strong guns. Ben. Butler broke up the bust
ness and Carter went into the army again. At
ter the war he returned to New Orleans and en-
tered political life, following Gen. Longstreet
into the Republican party, and was soon recog-
nized as a man of brilliant parts and skillful in
the management of men. He has the reputa-
ton of being the most accomplished conversa-
,tionalst in Louisiana. illA4-tiea4soi4 ilh letA3
