FAILURE OF Prominent FIRM I,

FAILURE OF A PROMINENT FIRM IN
LYNcHBuRG, V1RG1N1A.-We regret to
learn that one of the largest manufac
turing firms in Lynchburg failed last
week, and made an assignment of its
effects. The Republican gives the fol-
lowing statement Of the affair. 1t says:
On Thursday, Messrs. L. L. Armistead
& Co., manufacturers of smoking to
bacco, notified their creditors of their
inability to meet their engagements and
as consequence a suspension eusued.
1t is understood the liabilities of the
firm amount to between 100000 and
$4,000, while it is supposed assets,
carefully managed. will yield $4,000,
Lynchburg capitalists bear the brunt Of
the losses, three gentlemen being credi-
tors or endorsers respectively fot $21,-
900, $4,000 and $4,000. They bear
the disaster with commendable eqrani-
nifty, and will not be seriously embarr-
assed by their losses. 1t was asserted
last evening that Armistead & Co.
would arrange things satisfactorily,
and commence operations again next
week; but we do not vouch for the cor
of the rUmor.

The action of Congress in reference
to back pay has attracted the attention
of the people to gr: e er extent than
any of the acts of that body. We do
not believe the people are interested be-
cause of the loss Of over u million dol
lars, for other acts appropriating large
amounts of money have attracted no
attention. The pay Of members OF
Congress was fixed when they entered
upon the duties of the session, ard the
right to appropriate to their own use the
peoples money, simply because they
had the power to do SO, has been very
properly questioned by their constitute
ents. An act, called the Compensation
hill, very similar to the present law
was passed in 1916, tie result of which
was that almost the entire COMPRESSION
al delegation was changed. The peo-
pie held responsible not only those
who voted for the bill, but all who re-
ceived the Increased compensation.
The results Of the proceeding are
most fully described in the following
extract from q letter of Thomas Jeffer-
son to Albert Gallatin, dated June 16,
1917. He SAYS:
"According to the opinion l hazard
ed to You little before your depar-
tire, we have had almost an entire
change in the body of Congress. The
unpopularity of the Compensation law
was completed by the manner of le-
pealing it, as to all the world except
themselves. In some States, it is said,
every member is changed, in all, many.
What opposition there was to the
original law was chiefly from southern
members. Yet many Of those have
been left out because they received the
advanced wages. I have never known
SO unanimous sentiment ofdisapproba-
ton, and what is remarkable is that ii
was spontaneous. The newspapers
were almost entirety silent, and the
people not only unruled by their lea
ders but in opposition to them. [ con
fess was highly pleased with this
proof of the innate good sense, the
vigilance, and the determination of the
people to act for themselves"

THE Governor having failed to
sign the act recently passed by the
Legislature, in relation to the funding
of the public debt, also the embezzle
ment bill and an act known as the
warehouse bill, they have failed to be
come laws. Each Of these important
measures had received the earnest con
sidel alton and approval Of the repre-
sentatiyes of the people. What may
have been the special objection of his
royal highness, the Governor, to them
we know not. We presume it was a
love for the display of power which, in
this instant, could be exercised with
safety, since the Adjournment of the
Legislature will prevent their passage
over this veto. One of the bills, we
are informed, gives evidence Of a
change Of mind after it had once been
approved.-Riclnsom0 WAtg.

THE Legislature adjourned on We'd

The Legislature adjourned on Wed
nesday, ed inst. An immense amount
of business was transacted during the
last few days Of the session. The
body was unfortunately constituted, a
part was disposedto labor for the good
of the State, while others, recognizing
the claims Of party as paramount to all
others, were willing to defeat every
measure calculated to benefit the
state, and to encourage the passage ., of
bills which were in opposition to the
general welfare. The representatives
of our county were active and attentive
TO business, and while we cannot agree
with them in their votes upon several
important questions, we are disposed to
give them full credit for their attention
to the public interest, and especially to
the interests of their own constituents.

THE FEARFUL DETAILS.
New York, April 2.-Therc is no
copy Of the LIST Of the passengers OF
the steamship Atlantic in this city.
The agent of the line here says his
dispatches from Halifax, received last
night, state that none. of the Atlantic
cargo had foated, which he considers
as evidence that the steamers hull had
not broken.
Persons who had friends on board
the ili-fatel.. steamer crowded the Off

ing, hoping to learn the names Of the
survivors, but as no list had been re-

The terrible disaster is the only top.

the responsibility for the disaster may
be fixed on the proper parties.
