pxtent, but not enough TO in,oxicate. While
passing along short distance above the old

by Henry O'Briau, Knocked down with a
piece Of board or stick, and beaten 10 . most

away on his bands and knees across the
street into the grass and undsror'ish, where
he was subsequently, picked up aud brought
down town. He claims also that he was
robbed of SIS 10 greenbacks and valuable
papers. This is HE version.
OBrian. we are informed, states that
Wyant was intoxicated ut the time, and

Message of Governor Walker.

Gov. Walker has sent special message to
the Senate, in response to resolution from
that body requesting him to give his views as
to the best mode Of raising money to pay the
interest on the public debt and defray the ex-
penses of the State, &c. The message recon-
mends the reduction of the principal of the debt
by the sale and application of the proceeds oi
assets Of the railroad bonds and stock and non
productive property of the State, by which the
proportion OF the debt assumed by Virginia will
be reduced to $26, 0OO,0 900, the annual interest
upon which will be 81 500. 600.
It recommends certain changes and reforms
in the State government, thereby reducing Its
annual expenses to 100000. Ii recommends
the equalization and correction of assessments
and the more thorough assessment of personal
property, by which the total assessed valuation
of real and personal property will reach four
hundred millions, the annual tax upon which
will be two millions. The tax from other sources
is estimated at $500, 900, making total reve-
nue. of 81, SOC, 200, of which $500, 900 is to be
appropriated to schools, leaving balance of
So, 400, 900 available to pay the interest On the
public debt, and pay the current expenses Of
the State government.
The Governor says the interest upon the
bonds funded under the act of March 80, 1871,
that is, the funding act, must be paid, and no
mode of avoiding it can be devised, even if We
desired it. He shows that the interest due and
unpaid on these bonds on the 1st Of January,
1873, and that which will fall due by the lst of
January, 1874, will amount to nearly $780,
900, which amount, added to other indebted
ness falling due during the current year, makes
total Of over 81 $780, 900 to be provided for By
the first Of January, 1874.
The Governor concludes by saying that his
opinion has been deliberately formed, and eV-
cry calculation and estimate carefully made, and
if his recommendations are adopted, every re-
suit stated will be realized.

! SHENANDOAH IN EARNEsT.-The Shenan-
doah Herald says: ''The amount realized 10
Shenandoah from the sale Of butter and eggs is
more than sufficient to pay the entire taxes Of
the county. With this fact in view, 1t requires
a vast amount of credulity to believe that Vir-
| ginia ought to repudiate her debt because her
people are not able to pay it. Let the true
sentiments of our people be known, and She
nandoah will not be classed with those in favor
of Reputation of any kind. The people know
what they are able to do better than many who
presume to speak for them. Our people want
an honest government, and do not believe in
the policy Of spending money to get rid of the
payment of an honest debt. Straight forward,
honest liquidation of our debt has been the
policy of Shenandoah, and she is not willing at
| this day to adopt another
| We are gratifed to re-publish the above ad-
mirab!e article from the Shenandoah Herald.
Ii proves that the miserable demagoguism
which is now SO rampant in some portions Of
the State, hnds no favor in the eyes of the peo-
| pie Of the staunch old county of Shenandoah.
Those men who, while they are thrusting their
| own arms into the treasury, to despoi it Of
money which they have not earned, and then
raise hue and cry about the poverty of the
State, will find ere long that the people under
stand their tricks
1t really makes every right thinking Virgin
ian blush with shame, when he thinks of the
degradation that has been bro't upon his State
BY men protesting to be conservatives. Re-
pudiation, disguise it as you may, is dishonesty.
Resistance to the judgments of our Supreme
Court Of Appeals is revolution. Better lose all
we are worth, than sacrifice our honor. Dur
ing the war, Virginia presented noble specta-
Gle to the world. There was no burthen which
she was not willing to bear to maintain the
cause in which she was engaged. She freely
gave her cons, her horses and her cattle. her
accumulated wealth-in word, all she had,
as willing sacrifice on the altar ofliberty. But
what spectacle does she now present Many
are now seeking to cover her with disgrace by
making her act the part of swindling debtor
seeking By every shift and device, to evade the
payment Of her honest debts. Verify the
lamented Lee did not die too soon. He was at
least saved the bumiliating spectacle which his
native State now presents to an assonished and
indignant world. We trust the day of swift
retribution will come to these who would suly

A PRACTICAL VIEW.-The Richmond En-
quirer thinks the 'best way to get out Of cur
present embarrassed condition would be fer ey-
cry farmer to come TO fixed determination to
buy 10 more Gnery fer his daughters on credit,
to make his sons support themselves, to hire
bat few laborers On his farm, mo more than are
necessary 10 connection With the family labor, J
to sell all the land that he cannot conveniently
cultivate, and to get out Of debt as rapidly as
possible" Farmers may not only get out Of
debt IN this way, but, persevering in it. will in
time get rich. Indeed, to be out of debt is
richness itself.

favor Of the application for Government aid in
constructing The James River and Kanawha

Tha Stats Debt

The State is sick, very sick and every quack
is putting forth bis ''only reliable panacea''
for the disease. Most all are on the easy cure
plan and dodge the great remedy pay out. -
1t would fill our paper twice over to publish all
the remedies offered and kill ''boa constric-
tor to digest them. We believe Old Virgin
ia will yet rise in her might and pay her way
cut honorably, and woe be to them who use
temporary power to make her do otherwise.
The following frem that Conservative old
Journal, the Abingdon N;rgiaien, is the last
plan, we have seen. The State should recog-
nlze the whole debt at the market value Of the
bonds, collect as much in taxes as it can bear,
and apply the amount to the liquidation of the
principal, issuing coupons for the interest bear
ing interest, redeemable after thel;ouidaiiou O!
the principal, or sooner, at the option of the
State notify the boudholders, that, on the Is,
day OF January each year proposals for the pur.
chase of stock will be received, and that offered
the lowest will be the first redeemed"
This view is also sustained by other papers
and, We learn. meets great favor with the anti
Fundors il the legislature.
