paid the same amount and our
debt will be as large at the end
of fifteen years as it now is.
| cannot see that this would
work great hardships upon the
holders of our obligations, as
they are bought at such a rate
Of discount that holders would

Now, sir, one other objection

portion of our liabilities were
created without the authority of

Of the tax payers had no voice in

Now, sir, fund thisdebtincrease

this is more than they can bear;
the cry will become, bread be-

liable; you tax the wealth and
enterprise to such an extent that
they cannot give employment
to labor; adopt this policy, and
in four years from to-day repu-
diation will be more exciting
theme than secession wasin 1861,

Mr.. Speaker, it is impossible
for this Legislature to repair the
wastes and devastations ola fiI e

reckless squandering of the pub
lie funds by some Of our prede-
ccsSOrS.
Let us row begin and make
an effort in the direction of re-
lieving ourselves of our present
embarrassment.
In the future if the prosperity
of the State will justify funding

The people throughout the
length and breadth of the land

private obligations; many Lave

THE GREAT Alternative AND TONIC
WATERS OF AMERICA
Persons who propose to visit during the Sum-
mer of 1873 the Mountains of Virginia, either to
seek in their cool shades and salubrious atmos-
phere pleasant and safe retreat from the OPP
pressive heat and healthy climate of less favored
localities, in the hope of finding in the renova
ting influences Of medicinal waters the means of
regaining lost health, will be admirably suited
at the
STRIBLING SPRINGS,
thirteen miles from Staunton, Va, where the fine
mountain air and scenery, and the mineral wa
tiers, which include the three distinct classes of
Alum, Chalybeate an6 Sulphur Springs, offer all
that can be desired for these purposes.
These Springs are highly medicinal, and have
performed many wonderful cures. Their great
value as medicinal agents is attested by the most
eminent physicians, and by many other persons
of the highest intelligence and social position.
The alum, Or as it would be more correctly
styled, the ACIDULoUs CHALYBEATE WATER,
contains much larger proportion OF the lmpor-
tant ingredients of alumina, iron and magnesia
than any other spring in the mountains of Vir-
ginia, and in its combined Alternative and tonic
properties is pre- eminent. The waters of these
Springs admit of a wide range of remedial appli-
cation.
Chronic bronchitis and pneumonia dyspepsia,
liver disease, chronic diarrhea and dysentery,
constipation, diseases Of the urinary and genera
tive organs, cutaneous diseases, scrofula, erysi-
pelas. neuralgia and in most cases all diseases of
malnutrition, irritation, relaxation and debility
will be readily cured by the judicious use of the
waters here for reasonable length of time. No
other watering place in this region, so celebrated
for its medicinal waters and delightful summer
resorts, offers superior attractions either III the
healthy and delightful nature of the climate, the
grandeur and beauty ofthe surrounding scenery,
or in the number, diversified properties and great
remedial virtues of the mineral springs

Libel suits against newspapers, as general
rule, are not profitable to the plaintiffs. It is
seldom that Judgment goes against the defend
ant, but the case of Miss Linda Gilbert versus
the Chicago Evening Post, is an exception
The trial was concluded on Saturday morning,
and the jury soothed the young ladys wounded
feelings by finding verdict in her favor for sic
cents. Certainly the defendant cannot move for
new trial on the ground that the damages are
excessive.
