SEPTEMBER STH,.
THE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE SOUTH
ERIN STATES UNDER CARPEr-RAGs
AND CONSERVATIVE RULE

The Conservative party of Virginia, and
especially General Kemper, its chief rep
resentative man at this moment, delight
in harping upon the indebtedness of the
Southern states, as showing how the un-
s:rupulous carpet-bagger and scalawag
have feathered their nests at the expense
of the people, and how fortunate this state
has been thus far since the war in escap.
ing from the financial clutches of the Re-
publican party. This was the burden
of General Kemper's congratulatory
speech at the Richmond Theatre, as
we'll as the grand incentive pre-
scented to stir the heart of the Virginia
people to vote for him instead Of Mr..
Hughes, and give the Conservative
party another four years. lease of power in
the state. He burdened down his speech
with heavy array of figures to show how
criminally prodigal the Radical party had
been with the peoples money in South
Carolina and Mississippi, but did not think
to refer to the amount of debt fastened
upon the necks of our own people by his
own party since il came into power four
years ago.
There has been but one state in the
Union whose finances have been worse
managed since the war than Virginia and
its entire management, or rather misman-
agement, is due to the Conservative party,
as it calls itself, which is now demanding a
new lease of power and prodigality at the
hands of the people. We. have taken some
little pains to place before our readers the
actual Indebtedness of all the Southern
states, afflicted in any way with "carpet-
bag rule" that they may see how much
better off we are who have been blessed
with the wisdom, sagacity and prudential
economy of the Conservative party. The
figures are sufficiently startling to enlist the
attention of our tax-paying population in
all sections of the state, now burdened
with heavier taxation than the people of
any other state in the Union, with the
single exception of Louisiana, where War
moth, the present pet of the Democrats in
that section, has had full financial swing
since the war, and up to a very recent
date.
The following table, compiled from the
facts and figures given in the last national
census, contains the more startling eyi-
dences OF prodigalty to which we would
call their attention, and which thev would
do well to ponder before beng frightened
out of their senses by General Kemper's
political bugbear, SO studously exhibited
by him in order to divert the public atten-
ton from Conservative extravaganza and
misrue in Virginia:
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-09-01

This fifty-five millions and upwards in
cludes The state, county, town and city
indebtedness of Virginia, which has been
fastened upon our people by the Conserya-
tive party, mainly in the last four years.
1t is no answer to say that the great bulk
OF this Indebtedness was left as '1legacy"
to the people Of our state. No one state
can bequeath Indebtedness as legacy to
another, and make it obligatory upon lis
legatee to extinguish what it never
created as state liability. The indebted
ness of the old state of Virginia was
merged in the assets Of the defunct
sovereignty, and should have been turned
over to the federal administrator as part
and parcel of its distributive estate.
Nor is it any answer to say that
certain Republicans voted for this gigan-
tic imposition upon tho new state
of Virginia. The Conservative party
was largely in the ascendancy, numeri-
cally, in the legislature of 1871, and it was
''put up job which their leaders were
the chiefones to support. The compound in
tereat swindle, entering into the lnnding-bill,
was piece of financial infamy exceeding
any and all the "earpet-bag impositlons" in
the other afflicted states put together, as it
contemplated taking not less than eighty
two millions of dollars out of the produc-
tive industry of the state in the next
thirty-four years, to 60 into the hands of

Mr.. r. Il. DANIELS quotes the quack
in Molere, who being told that he had put
the heart on the right instead of the left
side of the man, replied: "Very well,
that used to be so; but we have changed
all that" Very appropos, Mr.. Daniel;
that is just what you and your associates
in the legislature have been doing. We
were not aware until now whence you had
drawn your inspiration or selected your
model! 1t used to be the doctrine in
Virginia, that if tax had to be levied it
should be done with as little vexation and
annoyance as the thing would admit of.
But you have changed all that. To wiring
few cents out of poor illiterate oyster
man, you subject him to troubles and
annoyances unparalleled in this country and
scarcely exceeded by the despots of eastern
Europe in their treatment of the Jews.
And so delighted were you with the oppor-
tunity OF marrying class of poor laborers,
who you doubtless thought We're all Re-
pnbllcans, that YOU promptly voted
Messrs. Munford, Lewis and Goode nine
hundred dollars of the peoples money,
for showing you 'hoao to do IT. But q
goodly number of these poor fellows have
hitherto been Conservatives. In Noveln-
Der next they will show you how to.do it'll
You can then say, with additional emphasis,
I'VE have changed all that

the moneyed shylocks, who, in connection

the moneyed Shylocks, who, in connection
with the Conservative leaders, manipulated
the fundiug-bill swinde of 1871.
This table shows that Virginia, a new
state born into the Union without a
dollars indebtedness in 1860, and run by
the Conservative party ever since, has had
an amount Of Indebtedness fastened upon
hercxeeeding that of any Southern state,
except Louisiana, whose enormous liabil-
tiles are mainly due to the rascalities of
Warmoth another 'handsomest man in
the stately who is at present the
pet OF the Democratic party, though
overwhelmingly repudiated by the
Republicans Of Louisiana. With such
record before them we do not
wonder that the leaders of the Con.
servative party skulk into that convenient
"bomb-proof" 10 which General Kemper
betook himself in his Richmond Theatre
speech, calling Justify on all white men to
follow, as the question is not one of finance
or taxation at all, but simply of "race
against race" or white Virglnians against
the white scoundrep and his black
allies. This is too thin dodge to go down
with the tax-paying population of Vir-
ginia-farmers who are now paying two and
three hundred dollars taxes against only
fifteen and twenty dollars in 1859. The
fact is, the people are ripe for change in
the administration Of our state affairs, and
they recognize in Mr.. Hughes Vmglnian
as devoted to Virginia interests as any man
in the state, a dozen Kempers to the con.
trary Notwithstanding.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-09-01

THE Enquirer charges that "Mr.
Hughes has played Proteus in politics." If
this be true, how shall we characterize the
political record Of General Kemper since
the war? AS we showed on Saturday, he
has not only boxed every point of the
political compass in the last six or eight
years, but his feats of individual acrobat
cy have eclipsed the whole family of the
Ravels, in the double back-action summer
saults he has from time to time turned.
To "play Proteus" may not be SO bad,
alter all for, according to the Greek
myth, Proteus possessed the power of pro-
phecy, and was able to predict the result
of any controversy in which he was en-
gagged. Mr.. Hughes confidently predicts
his own election in November, and this
Protean sagacity Of his is what terribly
annoys our neighbors.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-09-01

HONESTY says one thing, crooked
policy another. When General Kemper
accepted the Fifteenth amendment, and
used his influence to have the people of
Virginia accept it, he no doubt acted hon
estly and with view to the best interests
of the grand old commonwealth that gave
him birth, if not of the country that
granted him amnesty of political offences.
But crooked policy demands of him now
that he should virtually set aside the con-
ditions Of the accepted amendment, and
he gives the Conservatives the consola-
tory assurance that he will do so. What
sort of conservatism is it that the Conscrva-
tives would conserve?
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-09-01

THE Wing, in overhauling the census
OF 1870, thinks there is no danger of the
states of South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana becoming permanently Afri-
canized." Why, then, should that jour
nal be so terribly exercised about "negro
supremacy" in Virginia? Has there
been such a deterioration in the white
stock OF our state, and such a decided
advance in the colored element, that the
former is bound to 60 to the wall in the
comparison |? The fact is, The Wing,
like the Centaur's guest, blows hot and
cold on the negro question, as it suits the
necessities OF its party. The Conservative
Keynote Of the campaign was struck by
General Kemper in his Richmond thea
trical speech, wherein he ridiculously
claimed that the contest was narrowed
down to one of ''black against white,'
when there is not the first element of
such a contest visible anywhere. The
colored people have had too much good
sense to raise any such issue, or give the
slightest intimation Of their desire to do
80. They will vote for as white ticket
as that on which General Kemper is
running, and one more to the liking Of at
least one-third of the white people of the
state. And this is what exceedingly vexes
the spirit of The Wing.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1873-09-01

WE have heretofore charged that no one
except white native-born Conservative
can have fair trial in the courts of Vir-
ginia as now constituted. This charge the
Conservative papers have never dared to
meet, for they know its truth too we'll;
but SO bold have they become now, under
a momentary delusion that the reign of
bigotry and intolerance is to be perpetua-
ted. that the Richmond Wing calmly fur
nishes evidence which goes to show that
even a native born white in Virginia is per-
secuted for opinion sake, to say nothing
of Yankees and negroes, in whom BIRTH
place and color are sufficient causes for the
denial of justice. A correspondent of
that paper, writing from Brunswick county,
says:
''Strange to say, there is no carpet-bag-
ger in the county, and no scalawag of note
since Green was sent to the penitentiary,
l find great sympathy expressed for this
man, not so much for him personally, as
his status is low, but for his estimable
wife and children, and for the better reason
that the offence did not merit the punish
ment, and the belief among some of the
best Conservative citizens of the county
that he has been the Uictim of political
persecution that should at all times be
frowned down."
Here it is admitted that a white native
Virginian is languishing in the penitentiary
for an . offence which did not merit the
punishment" while "his estimable wife
and children are left to the ice-cold sym.
pathy of a people who made their husband
and father "victim of political persecu.
ton" for the crime of being Republican
Never mind, we will have governor and
legislature soon, who will do something
more than " frown' at such outrages +!
Governor Walker is too busy toadying ia
the :" wealth, intellect and responsibility
party, in the delusivc hope of being made
senator, to hear the cries of this victims
wife and children, but they will 60 up tc
Heaven all the same. And the roc popul
will become the coo Del after November
next.

"WHAT led, in our opinion, to his
greatest misfortuncs," says Cornelius Ne
pos of Themistocles. twas that he enter
tanned too high an opinion of his own valor
and talents" But, unfortunately, The
mistocles is not the only man who has
failed and sunk out of sight from an over
rated opinion Of his own valor and attain
ments. The world is full of similar ex-
amples, and all the extravagant puffs of
the Conservative papers may not save Vir-
ginia from furnishing another melancholy
instance of departed greatness" on a
small political scale. Valor is an excellent
thing to have, but, like virtue in women, it
is shocking bad thing to boast of, as was
shown in the case of Themistocles.

The Conservative party had its origin
IN spirit of liberality.-EnQuirer.
A certain other "'party'' had his origin
in heaven, but he took strait chute for
that other place the moment the standards
of rebellion were hopelessly trailed in de-
feat. For Virginia Conservative to talk
about the Esprit of liberalily," as apper-
tanning to his party, is ludicrous enough to
provoke horse-laugh from whole regi-
ment of cavalry. @
