SUNDAY, 9TH, 1877.

'rbNDA u II, 1911
A day of rest is a blessed thing. If
the Bible had given US no more than
the Sabbath it would even then be
worthy of ranking as the most vaua-
bic book of time.
A number of us found our way to
Church Hill, mile distant, and heard
DIR. Peterkin at ST. Johns Church. in
which Patrick Henry made his great
speech. l was sti uck with one re-
mark of the preacher. 81 preach to
others only as 1 preach to myself"
and though / remembered this, came
away thinking of the dead English
man, on whose crumbling head stone
| saw carved in that oldest cemetery
Of the city,
"When was young and in my prime,
1t pleased the Lord to end my time.
For Jesus Christ did think it best
To take me to place Of rest"
The touch and mildew of time are
over all that is connected with st.
Johns. ! noted the grave of Mrs. DR..
John Dove, of Masonic celebrity
The graves are so compactly, in COM
plete occupancy of the ground that
there was not room enough to bury the
Doctor beside her, so he was buried in
the same grave, the collins resting one
on top of the other. Some of the
monuments are old as 1851.
/ left the company of these ashen
fathers aud mothers of early days,
thinking of Patrick Henry, and l said,
give mo REIMBURSEMENT, or give me
death. TO this Jonas Kelley said

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The last message or Gov. Kemper
has been sent to the General Assem-
bly,, and a very remarkable document
it is. Fourteen Of its twenty -four
octave pages are devoted TO a de-
Tense Of the Funding Bill, for this
is just what it means and amounts TO.
If his other message Of 1874, could
he printed and bound with it, he would
pass as the one supreme humbug among
the Governors of Virginia, for the one
message yetocs the other. His apollo
~ for this antagonism between KEN,
per coming in and Kemper going
out, is that while we could get such
a readjustment now as was offered in
1874, we do not need it, and there
fore should not have it. Notwith-
standing the recently expressed voice
Of the people in favor Of readjust-
ment, he issues this bull against it.
and now declares that "the debt can
be carried and the taxes at the same
time reduced"
Fortunately the House of Delegates
has answered this by promptly elects
ing Readjuster as its speaker, and
eiccling him on that simple and
square issue. On page 3 he announces
that "during the last four years, the
"public schools aud charities have
been maintained and on page %
he states explicitly that 1882. 1872 .2G
Of the school money had to be used
in order to float the State Govern
ment, aud on page % "in an issue
"of life aud death, between the State
"ond the school system, is it to be
"said that the State must perish and
"the schools suryiveY'
On page 10 he says the aged lu>
natics Eat present SO block up the
"Asylums as to exclude cases Of re-
Scent and curabie insanity" The
aged lunatics he says "can be suitably
sand humanely provided for at ltcjr
"homeS." and he proposes to turn
out of the esylums all that are incur,
able in order to get room for Others
that are beating the flesh from their
bones against the bars Of our joils. -
With these facts stated in his own
message be says "the public schools
aud charities have been maintained"
On page b he says 1.-THE perleei
",,eace aud tranquility everywhere
"and always prevailing, have been
"solely due to the iaw a5ld6g 0.rtue
"of the people" and, on page G that
"lhe criminal expenses have contin>
"ued 10 increase in an extraordinary
"manner."
In stating the amount Of the debt

at all, and MS though the sinking

os:1iOn We now invite the Governor
himself to negotiate this loan Of the
bondholders themselves, as they are
the interested parties aside from the
State, and the payment Of full inter-
est can be rendered certain enough.
This is readjustment though he does
! not seem to think so.
On page he says il is an ''unan,
swerable fact that if expenses be not
increased ror revenues decreased, the
interest on every class of'debt will
be paid, and the financial restoration
Of Virginia already assured" 70
float this extraordinary statement he
uses liquor, and relies on the Bell
Punch. In other words, he would put
this great burden on the drunkard and
make him carry it, besides cxpsllng
the aged luuatics from the asylums
and turning their family homes into
pOtriarchol hell.
Having dispatched the public debt,
he proposes to abolish the County
Courts as they now stand, and to re-
organize the old court Of magistrates,
with the self-perpetuatiDg feature. =
He would tighten the bunden of tax>
alton by making the counties pay
their own criminal expenses, and he
would arm the auditor with the APP
pointmeut Of commissioners of the
Revenue. The favorite funder
measure Of a State board to equalize
assessments of lands is of course in>
sisted on.
He would either tax the privilege
Of taking oysters, or sell, or lease the
oyster beds.
He apologies for the auditor in
using the school funds thinks he did
right, and therefore tells him to DO it
again.
AS to the canal, ruined almost by
the food, he would put all the nblc0
bodied conyicts to clearing it out and
repairing it.
