THE STATE DEBT The people of Virginia,
says the New York Sun, have been severely
criticised in some quarters for failing to pay
the interest on their public debt 1t is urged
that they have not been subjected to carpet
bag rule, aud that thceetore there is no ex.
cuse for this delinquency. The truth is that
the financial condition of Virginia is exception
al. Her debt was contracted before the war.
while the other Southern States owed com
paratively little then. The agricultural re-
sources of the cotton States are adequate to
their speedy restoration to prosperity under
good government; but what was, unfortunately,
Virginia chief resource, slaves, vanished az
one of the effects of the war, and the States
main reliance hereafter must be 10 mining and
manufactures, weath-producing enterprises
which will require time to establish. Besides,
nc State was desolated like Virginia by the
war, and the loss of men alone is still painfully
felt there. Then there has been disputed
question between Virginia and West Virginia
as 20 the share which each STAGE shoudright-
fully assume of the old debt; but there has
never been any disposition manifested to repu-
date legitimate Obligations.

the slaughter at the Well of Cawnpore was the

Stupp by the success of the Democrats IN the,
late elections, and apprehendiug further de-
feat for the Radicals, the Washington Chronicle
vents its spleen on the Office holders OF the
South, saving 1t is no longer matter OF
doubt or mere opinion that many OF the U. s.
mar,bals, some of the postmasters, and por-
ton of the other Federal officials appointed
since the war 10 the Southern States are dis
lcyal to the Federal Government and deadly
opposed to the Republican party. These par
ties have crept into Office by false professions
of repentance and conversion, and by adrotly
deceiyiug an ever-lenient aud conhding Ad-
miuistration. But now that they have got 10
TO Office. and are hopeful of the defeat OF the
Republican party in the South, they are throw
ing off their disguise, and are laborlng to lnau-
gurate the Democracy, with the view OF ul'-
mately regaining the lost cause. Gen. Grant
and his Cabinet have been fully appraised OF
these facts, and prompt action 90 the part
of the Administration may be Anticipated.
Congress is not yet lost, as these rebel officials
will lad if any of them remain 10 othce
after the first Monday 10 December next
Genuine Radical doctrine, that-It they don
bow at the word of command, off with their
heads. Difference to party behests Is the quail.
i6cation for office; but may be it won't be SO
always, and the time may come when office
holders 10 the South, as we'll as in the North,
will be allowed to express 40 opinion without
far of having their heads taken off.

Poisoned Confectionery.
fcor. n, Y, Hsiald.l

PLArNvILLx, Conn, December l0.-A
gloom was spread over this entire CON-
munity this morning by the death OF q
twelve-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Edward
MARYLAND. The immediate cause OF her
demise was the eating Of candy in which
was arsenic. Some three weeks ago the
girl, in company with two girls named
respectively Miss Bunnell and Miss
Henmingway. attended an evening
party. at which. by way Of entertain
ment, was offered confectionery pur-
chased in the town OF F%crrcstville, q
portion OF which was originally manu.
iactured in the city OF New Haven.
They partook heartily OF the same, and
soon after wero each taken violently sick.
The sufferers were attended by DIR.
Woodward. Of this place, who. on ex-
aiming the symptoms, pronounced the
poison TO be arsenic, and that IL was
contained in tho candy. Under his treat
msnt the two last girls were partially
restored to health, though they are not
considered out Of danger. But with
Miss MARYLAND the case was different.
Medicine seemed to have no healing
effect upon her. Previous 10 death she
literally suffered many deaths. Her
tongue became frightfully swollen. and
some time before she brcathsd her last,
Inflammation seized upon her eyes and
rendered her totally blind. During II
all the little creature was perfectly con-
and patiently endured the most
sIcruciating pains till this morning,
when death brought relief.

III Ttui nv 1871
A week or so ago thore was a compel
tive examination in tho public schools
Of this city. Of forty-twoIpuPils, for adj
vancement to what Ia known rs the
ninth grade" the last grade before nd
mission TO the high school. One OF the
forty-two was a bright youth, son Of a
member OF the School Board-and a
Radical-as bright q boy as you would
see in q ride through q populous city.
Another member OF the class was (shall
we say II in full view OF the recent Dem
ocratio ~yietories?) q colored boy named
Edward Hitler. The contest for the
position OF honor In this class was keen
and exciting. Midnight kerosene was
consumed in preparing for examination.
Several boys and girls were struggling
fer the highest notch. When the eI-
aminations were made the whole class
distinguished itself, but when the re-
suits Of the contest were all summed up
Edward Hitler stood first. and the boys
Who had been vanquishsd acknowledged
that they had met a youth who bore a
banner with the strange device, Excel
sior,'" and who having climbed the
mountain, and scaling also the mountain
OF ignorant prejudice, had planted his
''banner with the strange device on
the very summit. The young people in
the schools who knew this circumstance
and the boy have been deeply interested
in the case, and We doubt not tho whole
community will watch the educational
career Of Edward Hitler. colored. with
more than ordinary interest. which will
be shared also by the radical member OF
the Board Of Education aforesaid, who
believes in this sort OF thing.

IPanamint Mines.

In our notices heretofore OF the prom
inent mines Of Panamint District we
have, inadvertently. left out in the cold
two Of the most important, and which
deserve special mention in our columns.
We refer to the mines belonging to Ms
wander, Goodwin K Co., and they con-
sist Of the Sunrise and Twilight; the for
msr located on the granite mountain ut
the head OF Surprise Canyon, and the
latter lying about three hundred yards
north from the Sunrise. The vein in
the Sunrise, and beyond q doubt q true
assure one. shown remarkably well.
The company have now about four hun
dred tons Of high grade ore on their
dump, and there are not less than three
thousand tons OF the same quality IN
sight in this mine. This ore Is all OF
the frse-milling class, and its average
is $500 per ton. The Twilight, q late
discovery Of Mr.. Niswandsr. In n OF
the most promising properties in the
district. This mine. we believe. pro-
duees ore similar to that in the Sunrise.
Niswandcr. in company with DR.. Good
fellow. left here on the 18th instant for
San Francisco, and the presumption Is
that . sale Of this property, at . very
large figure. Is about to be contaminated.
Notwithstanding the large fortunes
lately made in the stock boards by q few
spectators, there are still those who
prefer legitimate mining to stock ven-
lures, and they are the kind Of capita
lists needed in Panamint. The n
class produce values and add to the gen.
eral wealth and the circulating medium,
while the other. producing nothing.
but concentrate into the hands Of a few
the accumulations Of the many, which
money Is locked up in vaults. to the
detriment Of the prosperity Of all except
the favored few. 1t Is gratifying to
know that these "legitimists'' are seek
ing Investments here. Another San
Francisco company. lately incorporated.
with J. W. Gashwiler at its head. have
made purchases here, We are told. OF
valuable mines. J. s. Edelsd, q broth
in-law OF Gashwilsr. returned from San
Francisco q day or two ago. He Is to
represent the company here. and will
commence operations at once. We shall

ing and wandered Of into the brushy
mountains. No little excitement was
caused when his absence wal d~icovered.
and his neighbors were notified and
turned out TO q man. About 0 o'clock
In the evening information wa received
from a duck hunter that he had seen the
boy about . o'clock. some three miles
from homo. The man had inquired Of
him IL he was lost. hui he said: 'No,
no. papa's there" pointing ahead, and
riding q stick horse. Ho evidently
thought his father WAS near. and thus
deceived the hunter. who thereupon left
him. II appears that he had, upon
leaving home. followed q dim road
about two miles. and then turned of q
mile to the right striking a thick brush
fence, which he could not well climb.
turned and followed along ID 4 mile and
q half further. through q narrow gap in
the hills. And now came his rescue
through one Of those circumstances
which may well lead people to believe
in providential interpolation. Ordina-
narily no one would have been along
there to have discovered him for days,
or perhaps weeks. but by chance. there
passed along after sunset. q man who
had been repairing the fence. and found
him hid. for he had apparently gone
wild, and concealed himself from his
pressrver. This was about dark. The
man took him to his house, and at 10
o'clock the searching party were appris-
ed Of his Whereabouts and took him
home. A most providential recovery.
which will doubtless lead his parents to
