Important Letter from Carl
SChmrZ.

Colonel Grosyenor publishes in his pa
per, "The Public" to-day, an important
letter from Carl Schurz, on the CONFER
ence called by himself, President Wool
sey, Gov. Bullock, VIM. Cullen Bryant
and Horace White, to be held in New
York May Is.
He replies to criticisms by Repub-
licans, and urges that the Republican
party can not afford to lose certain
States in which the Independents have
the balance of power; that it can not
thing because the Independents ask it;
that it the reformers within the party
are strong enough they will not be de-
tered from doing good thing because
recommended by others outside who
seek the same objects; that no one desires
to organize third party, but it is hoped
the Cincinnati Convention will take
such a course that the Independents
can conscientiously follow it. Never
theless he says if nothing but choice Of
evils be presented it is time for the NOR
al sense of the people to revolt against
such degradation, and many hitherto
strong partisans will join in an effort
outside OF old parties. Hence it is
the duty of the Independents and
of such Republicans to state frankly
what will and what will not receive
their support, SO that the Republican
party, If 1t should mistake, would have
no occasion to say, "Why did you not
tell us of your objections be:ore?" He
thinks ii the Idealists, so-caIled, had
been listened to four years ago the Re-
publican party would not have such a
load TO carry to-day, and pres umes that
after the campaign opens these same
ldealists will be in as great demand as
they were last fall in Ohio.

Figures That Hurt.

Do the people of Virginia know their real
condition? Do they know what really hangs
over them in the shape of public indebted
ness, in addition to their private obligations?
The bonded interest bearing debt and certif
icates of Indebtedness bearing interest, in
1871, amounted to SAG, 914, 20S.25. The in
tercst OIL this to July. /, 1876, amounted to
s14, 04s .26-about s., 100000, Of which has
been paid, leaving about $4,000, 900 in round
numbers, to be added to the principal of the
debt, reaching at least about So, 1000. 600
SAG, 9l4, 20S.25 of which is interest bearing.
To get at the true amount, the interest on
which has to be provided for. add S., 500, 900
sinking fund, and we have So, ALI ,208.25,
upon which interest has to be raised. Add
to this the $4,000, 900 dcfaulted interest since
1871, and you have an aggregate debt of in
terest bearing obligations Of ovec SCI, 100000.
The amount of interest on the debt Is
So. IA, 952.49. The estimated cost of run
ming the State Government is $l,2S9, 747.30.
Add this to the interest on the bonded debt
and certificates of Indebtedness, and it makes
81, 49,, 500 80, which has to be raised by tax
alton, to keep from getting each year deep
err in debt. The whole amount OF State tax
es now collected is 50. AL, 1854. So that,
counting for the cost Of collecting, the taxes
of the people will have to be doubled to pay
the interest on the States obligations, and
the amount Of expenses of government.
This is the fix the people are in, and to
which the s'rcform'' Democratic party has
brought them.
Now we ask the honest men Of the State
whether such gross mismanagement of the
peoples interests ought to be endured longer?
Remember that the Republican party had no
thing to do with this. The Democratic party
has had exclusive control of Virginia, and is
Justly and properly responsible for the con-
dition in which the State is now placed.
The debt has to be paid or repudiated. Ac-
ton in one direction or the other must soon
be had. The debt is yearly increasing by
the million Of defaulted interest. What are
the people going to dos Will they longer
trust the party that has brought upon them
this oppression?

$50 LOCO, sold at discount OF 81 10, or,
in other words, the Government received only

which was $780,
To recapitulate since 1865, the public debt to
June 80, 1876 has been decreased 1856 1892, 246 A.
and the animal interest charged since 1869, has
been reduced $31 and since 1866. the annual
expenditures of the Government have been re-
duced $26s, $40 $780, and FEDERAL taxation more
than $500. 900 900.
Every year since 1866, the Government has not
only lived within its income but has been able to
save towards paying its Indebtedness an average
amount per annum OF $5G.742,284 .,4,
The losses OF the present Administration,
through defaulting officers and banks, compared
with the amount of money involved, has bean, to
g marked degree, less than those OF any previous
Administration since the organization of the
Cover nment
With surplus revenue annually accruing, and
taxation diminishing, the credit Of the country,
despite an Indebtedness OF over two thousand
millions, has been raised to such an unprecedent.
ed point that its AZ per cent. bonds issued in re-
demption of6 per cents, are selling rapidly at
contrast with the condition of affairs from 1857 to
1861, when the Government, with an Indebtedness
of less than one hundred millions, was living be-
yond its income. and to meet current expenses,
was compelled to issue notes bearing interest
equivalent to 10 per cent. per annum. and to sell
its per cent. bonds at discount of IL per cent.

What a Distinguished virginian Says

A distinguished Vrginian, writing -pri-
vately to the editor of this paper says: 81
cannot but admire the able manner in which
you are conducting the VIRaINIAN in this
canvass. 1 wish every body in the State
could see it.
s.How can the Democratic speakers and
writer's of the State be shamed out OF the
vulgar and disgraceful manner in which they
are conducting this canvass? think il a
disgrace to our civilization. Abuse, vituper-
alton, SANDER, scandal, hate, hypocrisy, are
their methods Of debating great questions on
which the people desire information; and
perjury, ballot-box stuffing, false returns.
failure to make returns, are the methods
OF falsfying'the elections when held. | cam
not think party thus acting upon system
and without necessity, merely from choice,
can long stand.'
We think. with our friend, that Il party
that resorts to such agencies to sustain itself,
must sooner or later, be condemned by the
honest instincts of the people.

DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO GO.

Come, boys, I have something to tell you.
Come near. I would whisper it low
You are thinking of leaving the homestead.
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex OF fashion.
How soon downward the course begins
You talk of the mines of Australia.
They're wealthy in gold. without DOUBT,
But ah! there is gold on the farm, boys,
If only you'll shovel it ont.
The mercantile life is hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm while longer.
Don't be in hurry to go.
The great stirring world has Inducements,
There is many busy mart,
But wealth is not made in a day, boys.
pon't be in q hurry, to start.
The bankers and brokers' ara wealthy,
They take in their thousands or so;
All think of the frauds and deceprions
Don't be in a hurry to go!
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards are loaded to-day, 49,
You're free as the air of the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey,
Better stay on the farm while longer, il
Though profits should come rather slow, d
Remember you've nothing to risk. boys,
Don't be in a hurry to go.

"A Brilliant Quartette. y

Ran. Tucker, Dungee, (coloreO, Fiournoy
and Cabeil, were all on the Democratic stand
at I4ynchburg at one time, and addressed a
Democratic meeting. The Lynchburg V,r-
ginian the next morning pronounced them a
brilliant quartettc,' and it was generally
conceded that Dungee made the best speech
of the evening. This public recognition of
the colored mans position in politics by tile
Democrats, effectually estops them from cry
ing "nigger party" and denouncing the re-
gro as incapable OF approaching fran
chise. 1t seems that it is all right for him to
vote the Democratic ticket. Nothing is said
against that party because of 1t. But his
identity with Republicans is heraldcd as evil
dence of the banding of race against race.
The argument furnished by Dungee's pres
ence on this occasion is very effective against
the tactics of the Democrats heretofore. and
cannot fail to have its effect. We do not re-
gret it.

HE VALLEY VIRGINIAN
Harrisonburg and Fredericksburg Connec'

The Royal Land Company Of Virginia,
whose head quarters are at IIarrisonburg,
with Rev. r. N. Pool as General Superii-
tciident. seem to be earnest in their efforts
to benefit not only themselves, but the State.
They are steadily advancing with the con-
struction Of their railroad from Fredericks-
burg to Orange Court House, and have CON-
pleted the preliminary survey OF the route
from Orange Court House to Harrisonburg.
There it will connect Will, the Narrow Gauge
road, running to the. coal mines in North
River Gap, the completion of which to that
point will be effected as speedily as possible.
The iron has already been purchased. and
the tics are now being gotten ont for that
purpose.
The developments OF coal are very promis-
ing. A few weeks ago operations were tenn
porarily suspended in the mines in order to
concentrate more force OH the railroad
between Fredericksburg and Orange Court
House. But work has been resumed, with
additional encouragement to the cntcrpris-
ing company.
The railroad connections this company is
cifecting, will be very important avenues OF
communication for the people of Booking
ham, especially, and other portions of the
Valley. In olden times, when the jolly wag-
oner cracked his whip and drew his lines
over his bclled team of four fat, sleek cones
togas, Fredericksburg was the natural mar
ket for the entire Valley. There is no reas-
on Why great deal OF that trade should not
90 there now when rail communication has
been consummated. Certainly the proposed
road will pass through prolific farming
country, and will also communicate with inn
mense mineral deposits.
We look checrfully forward when the road
shall be completed, and will rejoice in the
mutual benefits that must accrue to the two
ancient burgs, between which 1T one time
there was so much kindred interest.
The Roya. Land Company is certainly do
ing much for the Valley. The croakers have
been cfectnally silenccd by the results before
them. and VIC hope the full expectations of
the cnterprising and philosophical gentle
men WHO compose the Company will be re-
allied, for in that result the people OF the
Valley are deeply concerned.

REMEMBERED DAYS.


/ remember morn behind the mill.
When blackbirds sang,
And sheep-bells rang,
Far off, and all things else were sill.
But the rising beam 8
In the pictured stream,
And the noise Of the wafer about the mill,
remember a maid in her sweet youth.
Whose gentle days,
In village ways
Were passed in simple works OF truth;
The Summers day
Sped fast away
In dream of love, in time OF youth.
remember the Spring in garb OF green,
The light heart glee
That came to me l4
With the smile of my love at seventeen;
Her laugh that went
Like woodland scent 5aii A
To my soni-that time on the daised green.
And though know the days are spent,
That love was lost
When came the frost
AT Summer's.close OF my content;
Yet some JOY stays
In Winter days,
And brings its joyous conn lemsnt.
