Can We Repudiate I.

1t will be seen in an extract taken from
the Richmond Dispatch that there are some
members in the Legislature who desire to
repudiate our State obligations. While fully
sympathiziDg with the people in their pre-
sent distressfui condition, it is our duty to
warn them against placing any faith IN the
schemes that may be proposed for lifting
from their war.burdened backs the State
debt. 1t can only be done By abolisbing all
courts, and that would be revolution
freishted with more sorrow and difficulties
to the people than the doubling OF the pre-
sent rate OF taxation.
1t is now four years siDcethe funding bill
was passed, and though various means buve
been resorted to by succeeding Legislatures
without success to defeat the objects Of that
Unpopular measure, and though the. Court
of Appeals has decided it to be contract,
and consequently inYiolable, we still find the
disposed 10 multiply obstacles,
twithstanding it is all "iove's labor lost"
in the way of complying with the terms of
the contract. 1t would be far wiser on the
part of those members who are manllestlng
so much hostility against the provisions OF
the funding bill, IN order TO increase their
popularity with their constituents. II tbey
would 20 to their constituents and reason

General Bradley T. johnson is trying to
answer this important question through the
Richmond Dispatch in series Of very ill.,
le.es,ing and very able articles, which we
would most gladly publish if we had the
Spa>e.
We hope that all the members OF the
Legislature will read and thoroughly diges.
them, and suffer their patriotic spirit and
sensible and practical arguments and sug-
gesion TO give tone and shape to the
legislation necessary to provide the means
to meet the Indebtedness Of the State, aud
thus to answer the question which he is dis
cussiug in way to set it forever at rest
Is Virginia bankrupt? Let all the people
with one accord determine that the debt OF
the State shall be paid, and the ways and
means will adapt themselves to that deter
minstion as easily as ship Obeys her rudder
in the hands Of one skilled 10 manage it. 1t
! is only the hydra.headed monster Of repudia.
ton, binding, confusing, and disturbing the
minds of the people, which renders them~un-
able to see this matter as il is. 1t is nonsense
to talk about State being bankrupt which
possesses the territory included within the
boundaries of Virginia filled with resources
oil wealth and prosperity which, if fully de-
rcloped, would make her debt but a. dust
IN the balanc"-resourccS in her position, in
her Climate, i'll the long list and comprehen.
sire variety OF her agricultural productions,
iu hcrlueNhauSthle fields OF ulncra! we,lth,
and in her long line Of sea.coast, indented
with the finest harborS in the world.
General johnson argues that az much rs
the people complain Of the burden OF tax;-
ton At least one third Of the personal pro-
pcrty OF the State pays no revenue, as it is
pb.l h, 4 n
There is nothing men delight in more, as
indicating peculiar business sharpness, than
in eyadlng taxation. They take trouble
enough and stretch their couscences enough
to save few dimes in this way to make tive
times the amount in some other way.
II some method could be adopted TO react
all the property Of the State the burden o
tax alton would not seem so heavy.
The idea abroad in the world that Viz
GINA intends to repudiate her debt has al
ready lost to the State more than enough to
pay it.
In talking Of this matter of the bankruptcy
of the State it is wrong to base estimates
upon present values.
Let there be an era Of real prosperity
dawn upon the country; let it be lifted ou
Of the slough OF depression into which Rad.
ical rule has plunged it, and values in Vir.
| ginia would Gouple in the shortest possible
time: and then how light comparatively
| would be the bucdcn of taxation: ~
No citizen OF Virginia, in our opinion
| should entertain the idea of Reputation for
moment. State pride should prevent it il
! nothing else. 1t would be crime OF the
deepest dye to blot the good name OF the
| State with such stain as this. Her position
in history-the glofy of the past and The
promise of the future, all forbid it. The
lime will come when the indignation of the
people will oyerwbelm any public man who
has ever breatbed the thought of detiing the
honor of Virginia. Loudoun Enterprise.

tiity manifested against sustaining the
honor and credit Of The State by our several

The funding bill may have been mis-

The duty of the hour is 10 recognize lis

The relative merits of burial and crema-
ton are discussed from new if not exactly
from q novel point Of view by Mr. F. Sey.
mour HAYDEN, who argues in recent letter
to the London Times that the sanitary and
aesthetic objections justly urged against eX-
istiog methods Of burial do not necessarily
prove anything in favor Of cremation. These
objections, he says, are not valid against
burial, but only Against improper burla',
whereby, instead Of being committed TO the
earth to be by it resolved, the bodies of the
dead are merely hid away in the earth IN
close or Theoretically sealed c1ffius, Ia which
slow putrefaction is indefinitely prolonged.
Abiding to the absorbent properties of earth,
and especially of dry and porous earth, he says
that it is the IN ost powerful Of autiSeptics, and
that the process Of change which, under the
influence OF the air or Of the liquids OF the
body, is putrefaction, in the earth becomes
resolution; chat which was offensive be-
comes inotfensive: that which was decay u
process Of transmutation. The conditions
OF effective burial, he says, are attained BY
excluding the body from the air to prevent
| putretaction and by invoking the absorbent
properties of the earth to effect the less oflen-
! sive resolution or the body into its compe-
| nent parts-ln short, by burial in loose cof-
! fins. AS the result Of observations which it
had come in his way to make. he asserts that
when the loosely buried body is sought at
the expiration Of FIVE or six years it will be
found indistinguisbable from the earth with
which it will have become assimilated, leay.
ing no trace Of corruption behind, whereas
the body buried in close coftio, if examined
at the expiration Of fifty years, will be found
| in q stale of advanced but unprogressiye de-
cay. He insists that burial should be made
without coftinS, or If these are required
they should be so constructed as not TO Sc.
elude The BODY from the action Of the earth.
One such coffin which he describes is not
| without aesthetic suggestion. 1t IS Z" coffin
Of some light permeable material, such as
wicker work, open at the top aud filled in
with any fragrant herbaceous matters that
happened to be in season. A layer Of ferns
or MOSES for bed, q bundle of sweet herbs
for a pillow, and as much as it would still
contain after the body had been placed in il
OF any aromatic or Towering plant for 8
coyerlet-such covering, in short, As, while
it protected the body from the immediate
pressure of the earth rs eiectually as The

Sound Sense.

The admirable series Of letters addressed
by General Bradley T. johnson to the DIS.
patch ought to be republished and widely
circulated. The following deserves to be
printed in letters Of gold:
..Our population will not Increase while
these jeremiads over our sufferings 60 out
to the world. Such complaints drive from
us our own robust, hopeful, and energetic
youth, and give them TO other States, for
they buve no hopes OF success in comDu-
nifty which is utterly bankrupt according to
its own showing.
Neither population nor capital will come
TO people who represent themselves as
hopelessly insolvent. Buoyancy, courage,
hopefulness, attract; despoHdency and COM
planning repel; and that man will do the
greatest service 10 this State who will
animate the spirits Of our people, who
will nerve them up to make new efforts
to build up their fallen fortunes, and who
will infuse into them the conviction that
they are superior to adversely, and that by
their own sagacity and Industry they are
rapidly replacing the great waste OF war.
Such conviction in the hearts of our PEG.
ple, avowed and acted on by our public
men, will be more than halt the battle IN
putting us on our feet again."
lDlS IL Wlat we nave DSCu vi Sth5 al snS
time. The ad misericordum business Is
about played out. Instead of eternal groan-
ing over the past the people should keep
their eyes on probable future. Virginia
possesses all the conditions that lead to
wealth, and if this State does not realize her
true greatness it will not be due 10 any lack
l-of natural advantages.
10 expect capital ard industry to be at
tracted to any country which persists in as
sertlng that it is absolutely ruined Is riilcu-
lous. So far from the present state Of affairs
being such as to cause spondency we think
that no other State could, after total devasta.
ton, so quickly have started on the path OF
recuperation as Virginia has done. Those
are not the Tuest patriots Who act like the
old par.on who Oh thanksgving-day gave
out:
y Lord, what barren land is this
" hch yields Il; no supply"
Let us rather thank God and take courage.
Times are bard in Virginia, but we cannot
learn That they are any better in other parts
of the world. MI despcrandum !-Furm'
