10 cri,icisiug the action of the Legislature
upon the Tax bill, the Richmond Dispatch
says: 1.-The people of Virginia may rest as
sured that they are suffering tenfoll more from
the doipgs in the Legislature with reference to
the State debt than they are from any other
cause at the present time. The tricks and de-
vices of men VINO screen their measures to re-
pudate the public obligations under the dis
Ruise of hate for the funding act are degrading
Virginia to the level of States that are politically
deranged. Virginia has resources sufficient TO
the maintenance of the public credit but she
is vexed by spirit of demagogism that has
raised its monstrous head as party in the
State 1t has taken name, and has its
rallyiug cries and bitter animositles 1t Is
known as the r'anti funding party, and under
the disguise Of hostility to the funding act
is making all possible efforts to destroy the
public credit"

Frelnghuysen, endorsing the action OF Pres'-
dent Grant in relation to Louisiana affairs, was
taken up. Mr.. Bayard made point of order
that the resolution was intended to have iegls-
lative effect and could not be considered at

ly. Mr. Anthony offered substitute, APPROX
ing the Presidents conduct in sustaining the
Kellogg Government aod in protecting the
people of Louisiana from domestic violence. =
He thought that vote could be taken during

resisted by the Democrats, who desired that
the subject should be fairly discussed. Mr.
Bsyard led off the debate upon the subject 10
an earnest and, eloquent speech, opposing the
Presidential usurpatiou Of power, and was fol-
lowed by Messrs Maxey, Herman and Eaton
upon the same side. Mr.. johnson has the
foor for to-day, and his speech will make the
