Representatives a resolution WINS adop-
ted that II was useless to further con-
tinue controversy. We have been
whipped in battle, but have at least
preserved our self respect in an bon
orable conflict, and are prepared now
to offer our allegiance to the only ex-
listing government, and to fairly co"
operate in anything that may be sug-
gested."
The Governors contingent fund,
amounting to some $4,000, was
then divided among Packard's po-
licemen and other officers, and then
they went out into Louisiana to
take their chances with other peo-
pie. Thus passes away the cruel
despotism of Grant. Thus, like
the youthful David, has Hayes,
with a mere finger stone of Dem
ocratic doctrine, snitten and laid
low this grim and evil figure that
from the red fields of Petersburg
and Appomattox, has stalked forth
fer twelve years into our civil life
and made our lite as bitter as when
war itself ragged in our midst.

THE PUNCH BILE.
The Liquor dealers Will Fight
It-AHeCting Yesterday.

The Liquor Dealers Association Of
Richmond met yesterday afterooon.
The attendance was large, and much
interest was manifested Mr.. John
d. Snellings Presided
The report of George Robinson,
who had been to Washington for in
formation relating to the Mohett bells
punch patent, was presented and was
the subject of lengthy discussion.
The committee of which Mr.. Rob-
inSou is chairman, made variety of
recommendations, and these were in
turn debated for two hours. While
We cannot, in Justice to the gentleman
taking part in the debate, reveal the
nature of the discussion, We are JUS
titled in saying on the highest authors
~, that the liquor dealers Of the city
and State feel confident that they can
defeat the contamination Of MoffetL' 5
pet project
1t is unders TODD that there is a fur
tally defective flaw in the patent.
With this weakness the Liquor deal,
ers are well acquainted, and it is said
hey PROPOSE TO UTILIZE TUEIH
KNOWLEDGE Exactly how and when
they are to do this we are not at ibis
eriy TO state. At the meeting ye>ter>
day an executive committee of fiN e
was appointed with fun COVER. Rep
reslntatiyes Of this committee will
probably 90 to Washington and be
gin an aggressive campaign agains,
the bcll-pnnch scheme backed by
money and considerable influence.
The subject which the Richmond
liquor dealers are now considering i,
u basis or union for concerted actor
of the liquo' dealers Of this State
They deem il desirable 20 have {
common fund and to concentrat,
their oppos' ton.
Mr., Louis Rueger was last night
appointed treasurer Of the Richmond
branch. Decisive, if not fnal. &C
ton is anticipated at an early day

The Liquor Dealers of the State

The Liquor Dealers of the State
have organized to resist the execu>
ton of the punch bill. They de-
clare they have $4,000 with which
to open the play. 1t is presuma-
bic that this accounts for the re-
cent fall in the price Of Va. securi-
ties. Peelers fell two cents in the
dollar, and consols declined a
cent and half. Like all OK
treme and violent measures this
punch bill has overdone the bust
ness it aimed at, and DR.. Motfett
has overleaped the mark. He may
well reflect upon the value of the
poetical advice "Punch with care.
We think the bill will result disas-
trously in every way. Its passage
has already defeated a compromise
of the debt and in the end will de,
feat the effort TO raise revenue foI
the current year. AT least this is
likely to be.

COMMUNICATED
Editor of the Bristol News

Editor of the Bristol NeVs.
The secret of the decline and fall of
Virginia has been revealed, think
to the Funders, and the Richmond
Dispatch and Wing, who have as
sumed the guardianship of the old
States Honor and Credit" AC-
cording to the theory of these high
toned guardians of our Honor" our
dearth of Statesmanship the decay of
our commerce the want of public
spirit and the decline of enterprise
among our people, and our impover.
ished condition and subsequent ina
Mlity to pay the hOndholder full in
terest and "thus save the Honor of the
State are not attributable to the de-
siruction Of population and property
by the late war, nor by to the sup
preston of the manhood of the white
race by the yankee government after
the war, nor to the disastrous effects
Of military aud Carpet-hag govern
meut instituted in the state, but that
all the ills that Virginia has fallen
heir to, of which her inability TO pay
the bondhOlder full interest Is the
greatest, are attributable directly 10
the drunken character of her people,
Hence follows the remarkable pro-
position Of the Funders, that property
i'm Virginia will not bear higher tax
than that now imposed that enter
prise is dead that the population is 80
universally given up to drunkenness,
that tax of p certs drink on the
liquor consumed by the natives, one
hdlf cent "A drink on that consumed
10y the Dutch, will produce revenue
sufficient to pay the bondholder his
pound of flesh, and thus redeem the
Honor of the state"
The editor of the Richmond wing,
who is believed to have spent many OF
the most valuable years of his life In
the study of how many drinks the
average Nirginian eau take a day, sta
ted, with mathematical precision ,
when the "Puuch billp was first in
troduced, proposing tax Of one cent
on the drink, that the bill, IL passed,
would produce 100000, This bill
was defeated because the Bar Keepers
of Richmond thought 0a6 cent tax
would not justify an extra charge 10
the topper OF s cents drink. Tive hill
was re-iutrOduced, raising the tax on
the drink to y cents. In this shape
