Novel Shit.

The Sunday Greek (Oswego
county, News reports the follow
ing interesting case: A novel nit
between two farmers came off not
a thousand miles from here short
time since. 1t appears that one
of the farmers sold forty turkeys
to the other at certain price per
pound alive. 1t was stipulated
that the seller should keep the
turkeys until the buyer called for
them next day, and in the mean
time they were not to be fed. Ac-
cording TO contract the latter call
ed for the turkeys, weighed, took
them home and dressed them,
when lol twenty-five pounds of
corn were taken from the crops.
Buyer was Wrathy, and deducted
the above number of pounds from
the weight of the turkeys, and re-
fused to pay more. Seller, in turn,
became mad and sued for the corn.
The case was tried and decided in
favor of the latter, each paying his
own costs, which amounted TO So
for the plaintiff and 50 for the de-
PENDANT.

,sT VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER H. 1875.
The Virginia DeDa.

The Governor II Virginia has
at last officially declared what the
Legislature virtually admitted
several years AG0 The State
cannot pay its debt. This debt,
the largest Of the kind In the
Unioa. Is IA. 75a,OO0 In the argre-
gate. Ofthis $245I4 900 Is appor-
toned to Virgins as its share
and $lA 239, 900 to West Virginia.
But West Virginia does not re-
cognize the superintendent nor adj
init the debt allotted 10 1t. The
whole obligation therefore rests
on the State OF Virginia, or what
Is left Of IT, af&er the, violent di-
vision made by Congress during
the war. That It cannot pay it is
plain enough. The value of the
taxable property in 1870 was $685.
600, 900; the tsebt therefore Is more
than IL per cent on the valuation.
If the State should become pros
porous Il might at some future
day be able to manage the debt !;
but the debt rE0vents the State
from becoming prosperous, weigh
Ing like an incubus on its ener-
gies, repelling immigration and
disc0uraging enterprise. Besides,
the State has defamlted on the In
terest for several years. and this,
causes the obligation. to increase.
and augments the dif1lculty Of
paying II. The Governors mes
sage shows q large deficit In the
revenues, so that there Is no pros
pect Of resuming the payment OF
interest under present conditions.
The Governor recommends that
the debt be refunded at 4 per
cent. This would reduce the In
terest charge, but It would not
tighten the principal.

THE Secretary Of War, in his an
nual report, mentions the satisfacto-
ny progress which the works for the
defence of our seaboard, under the
Engineer Corps, have made during
the year. The class Of works adopt
ed in 1850 are heavy earth batteries,
thoroughly protected, and arranged
for guns and mortars, suitable to re-
sist the attacks of the most powerful
ironclads.
Already some positions selected
particularly in our larger CONNER
cial ports, have large proportion Of
their gun positions prepared. The
Secretary regards torpedoes as a
great element of national safety.
The estimates for the army for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1877, are
$50, 452, 1853 so, an increase of only
$963, 427 over the current year, show
ing that Secretary Belknap does not
share the apprehensions of some
of the Washington correspondents
as to the imminence of war with
Spain or Mexico.

IT is the Tobacco Rings time
now. The investigation into the
falling off Of the revenue on whisky,
inaugurated by Secretary Bristow is
the best piece of work yet INDUCED
in by any occupant of the Office. The
detection and punishment Of the
Whisky Ring is slowly but surely
going on at st. Louis, indianapolis,
and other western cities, and now
we have rumor from st. Louis to
the effect that the existence of a
grand Tobacco Ring has been dis
covered, and that among those al
reody indicted for defrauding the
Government are men Of prominence,
both socially and in int Of official
position. 1t is stated there is little
doubt that frauds second only to the
whisky frauds, will soon be made
public.

sound Views.

Lamar'e speech at the opening
of the Congressional caucus on
Saturday,was an appeal which de-
serves the attention of the Demo-
cracy ofthe country. He is one of
the few Southern leaders who
have shaken off the passions and
prejudices Of the war, and have
kept abreast of the progress of the
age in which they live. There is
nothing antiquated about his ideas
Of governmental administration.
except his belief that honesty is
the best policy, and il the Demo-
cratic majority Of the present
House, is disposed to be guided by
men of his stamp, instead OF run
ming after a lot of charlatans, who
are willing to adopt any dishonor-
abe device for the sake of a tempo

better for the party, but the coun-
try.
the difficulties of this vital and
perplexing question of the curren-
cy, it is our duty to take care that
nothing is done which would i'm
pair the good faith Of tie country,
or tarnish the public honor, or
lower or disturb the credit of our
government, but we are TO remove
those distractions which bar the
progress, and check the prosLeri-
ty Of the American Republic. 1t
is our duty as Democrats; it is the
duty, and is to be the glory of the
Democratic party while it controls
this HouSe,t t. see that the national
debt is paid and that the currency
of this Democratic Republic is
made equal with that Of any ma
ton on EARTH
The sentiment of honesty geEer-
ally goes hand in hand with libtr-
atty and patriotism, and they are
not separated In Mr.. Lamar's
remarks.
1.-THE grandest aspiration Of the
Democratic party will be to restore
the Constitution to its primitive
strength and authority, and make
It the protection OF every section
and ofevery State in the Union,
land Of every human being Of ev-
cry race, color and condition in the
land. The apprehension and dis
trust of one part of the nation, that
portion of the Southern people ar
rayed against the authority of the
Federal Government In the late
war that would be an element of
disturbance to the American
Union, has mainly disappeared, as
is evinced by your election, and in
its stead has grown more frater-
nal feeling which regards us ofthe
Southern States as fellow citizens
of the same great nation. On the
other hand the people of whom /
speak, aud of which / am one, are
here to-day by their chosen repre-
sentatives, --ready Ito 'honor any
draft which the American nation
may draw upon their patriotism
or their faith in the glory and the
benefit and defense of American
institutions. (Applause.) The ex-
pertinent has been introduced
amongst us to try confidence in the
workings of local self government
and intended To solve the difficult
ties connected with the recent So
cial and political transformations.
1t shall have an open field and fair
play, and no ordinance shall be
placed in the way of its vigorous
development and its amplest sue
