THE VIRGINIA DEBT.

Recommendation Made
No Hepudtati9n.

RICHMOND, November 1.-THE con-
ference OF boBdhOlders adjourned sine
dc at eleven o'clock, and lifted the veil
OF secrecy so far as their conclusions
were concerned. The committee an
pointed at the morniHg session submit
ted their report. The com pnjttea eNBrpss
the opinion that, notwithstanding the
! reduced and impoverished condition of
Virginia IS cited by the governor,
taxation is sufficient 10 pay the neces-
sary expenses OF the State government.
including proper maintenance Of the
public schools aud payment OF the four
per cent. interest per annu-> funded
debt, and twO-thirds of the Attended
debt can be levied without serious in
convenience to the people Of the State.
That to secure this end an arrangement
may be effected by which the larger
number OF holders Of bonds can be iu-
duced TO surrender the tax receivable
on coupons as they fall due, ana receive
the two per cent. payable on the debt
semi annually. They believe this can
be largely effected by legislation pro-
yiding for the prompt payment OF the
four per cent. interest, as il fails due, a.
points accessible and convenient 10 the
bondhOlders. This will result ia re-
firing ssventy-five or ninety per
cent. OF the tax receivable coupons
on payment Of the four per cent. inter-
est, ana that only the coupons from the
bonds held in Virginia viii be used in
payment OF taxes. The committee have
had brought TO their attention a PROPOSE
ten from responsible financial agents
who offer, on enactment Of appropriate
legislation, to take a new loan OF the
State equal to the debt as 10 al present
stands admitted by her, aud retire the
old debt and surrender it in exchange
for these new bonds, the Latter to bear
interest at five per cent for ten years
and four per cent. for twenty years, pay
able ia London sen1i-smnua!ly in gold;
tne sinking fund also TO be provided for
the payment of interest sud to be Sc
cured by appropriate legislation in the
form of a contract. The committee con-
slider this proposition eooiBenty advan-
tsgeous TO the State aud the bondhold-
err, and recommends that il such an ar
rangeUent can be made It be carried
out. They also recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolution:
RosO5Vcd, That the State ought to
provide, by appropriate legislation, for
permanently setting apart a specific por-
ton for the prompt payment Of the two
per cent. OF its accruing revenues, with
interest, sen1i-aDnually at London, New
York, Baltimore, and AZ the treasury OF
the State, and the issue Of certificates
for the unpaid interest payable at the
pleasure Of the State at any time within
ten years, aud if not paid within ten
years, then such certificates ought to be
fuBdable in four per cent bonds.
ResOlUed, That the State ought to re-
sumo payment Of the full six per cent.
Interest At ths earliest prastissble mo-

COAL-MINERs STRIKE.

ST. LOUIS, November 1.-THE strike
Of the cosl-miners in st. Clair COUNTY,
Illinois, opposite this city, continues.
aud at a meeting held yesterday a.
Pesehvillage it was resolved that WorB
IN all the mines in Belleville district be
suspended until every company IN it
and that all nOn-UnlOn men join the
miners union aud are governed BY
the same laws. The strike is for a uni
form price Of four cents per bushel for
digging, eight hours ls3OF, and inst
weight. The union miners also insist
that all nOn-UniOu men, or blscklegs a.
they are called, shall join the union.
There is a good deal Of unessiness in
Belleville, and considerable apprehen-
sion is felt that trouble, if not bloc ished,
will follow. To avoid this, if possible, q
militia company has been formed and
arms received from the State. Tie mi

The Nashville Union and Amsrioa,s,
referring TO the cases Of the Memphis
merchants now under bonds for trial be-
1ors Judge Trigg, charged with discbarg-
Eng eirpOrters fOrvoting against them.
Institutes q parallel that every one Of the
readers Of the APPEAL will recognize as
correct For instance, it reminds rs that
IN Massachusetts, it has for years been
just the thing to vote mill operatives bv
the thousand for the Radical ticket
under threat'of instant discharge. We
have, indeed, heard % United States
navy-yards being guilty of the same
thing on various ard sundry occasions.
We do not mention these incidents as
precedents, bit merely to show how
aoomiRably sectional and one-sided is
the administration Of the law under
Radical rule, A Memphis merchant
threatens 70 discharge q single porter,
where the Massachusetts, mill-owner
threatens his hundreds. The lat
ter goes unmolested, while the
former is dragged before 3 Fed
ersl commissioner and compelled
70 give bond for his appearance on trial.
lngeniOusly cruel as the enforcement act
Is, lt does not authorize such outrages,
and stupid or malieiously partisan
OH eehOlders, dressed ia q little brief
Authority, may yet learn the fact to their
cost. The dischsrging Of employees
falls exclusively under the State laws
for enforcing contracts, By no legal So
phistry eau It be twisted into a distinc-
lion on acc 1untof color, when the charge
Itself Is = distlhcaon on account Of poll
tics. II Radicalism were permitted to
so on with its social Ievelism, it would
soon punish men and women for
selecting their companions on the
score Of intelligence, worth, or re-
hglOus stiinidss, and would invade
every business and avocation Of life, al
societies, secret or otherwise. all re-
hgious bodies, and compel associations
that not even the most labid Of the red
republicans or sans culOttes Of Europe
would tolerate. Ia their malice the
Radicals have gone beyond right, Justice
ami law, and are now paying the PEN
atty in defeats that are merely tie fore
