The people of Virginia have,
with great unanimity, aligned
themselves in favor of readjust-
ment of the Public Debt. The
Richmond ENQUIRER says that
threesfourths OF the men nonina-
ted for the House and Senate are
readjustcrs. The Funding Bill is
Il doomed measure, and the State
will rcpu1iate its principles. Sup
pose the debt had been 100 mill
lions of dollars and had all been
funded under this bill. OF course
it would have destroyed the State.
This settles the principle. The
State must always hold herself
ready to respond TO the law of self,
preservation.

DEATH OF REV. WILLIAM
Il. MUNSEY, ID. ID.

That great calcium light of the
Methodist pulpit has burned out. DR..
Munsey died last Tuesday morning at
Jonesboro, Tenn. For several years
he has vibrated between life and death.
All that could he done was to stimu-
late the man and bride the bounding
mind that leaped aud scared toward
heights that are Oar -erous to intellec-
tual existence. Al last the silver
chain parted and the great soul scared
aloft. Dir. Munsey was aged about "A
years. In this short time, at which
many of the greatest minds unfold
their powers for career of fame, be
became the wonder OF all who heard
him. In brilliancy of imagery, in
finely polished logic and deep and va
ried information he presented to men
the appearance of degree of develop
ment as thoroughly refined as the
friction between thought and Ian
guage can allow. In social life he was
| distinguished for almost child.Hke
simplicity of manner. After he had
lowered in the pulpit to the delight
and amazpment of his hearers, he
would in five minutes become q second
wonder for his boyish manner. His
mighty mind was almost instantane-
ously unwound from its spiral strain
that pierced the stars in their courses.
! Everybody loved him as soon as social
contact was brought about. His fancy
was almost unlimited What it would
have been with stronger wings of
flesh cannot be told. He worshipped
! God because his character and attri.
butes were boundless. There was very
little clay in the man. He lived an
ideal life and had heart that was as
sinless as that of a babe. Like other
men the friction between mind and
body begot pains aud drew penalties,
but these were merely fires that drove
his fine machinery until it bounded
from the track and plurged down the
precipice. There is no one left like
to him, and for many day the grand
est forums of the South will fail to
echo elOqueuce like unto his.

Love and Astronomy.

"By Jupiter, these are lovely
nights Nothing Mars the serenity of
the sccne!" exclaimed young Jones
the other night as he Saturn the
porch meath the sllvery rays of the
crescent neon, with his arm around
the waist of Venus. But when the
old woman opened the window above
them and turned a pitcher of water
on their devoted heads, they thought
they. had encountered Neptune. She
simply remarked to them as they
started for the gate: ''Here, come
back ! You can't comet over nv
daughter in that milky way :" Jones
retorted: Uranus off, and Tn be
hanged if | come back until | get
ready" and his girl took his arm,
and he started off with speed like a
messenger Murcury, who is said to
have wings on his heels, and silence
reigned once more. The old woman
said she would planet different next
time,

THE COUNTY CANVASS.

At the end of three weeks
campaign the candidates for Senate
and House, having swept around
the county, are all in and the final
work for next Tuesday is receiving
its finishing touches. They have
spoken at thirteen places in the
county, and have been heard 10y
large audiences. The discussion
has been earnest and frequently
piquant, but in the end all has
passed off pleasantly. There can
be no possible mistake in the as
scrtion that the county stands
largely in favor of readjnstment,
and the majority for the successful
candidates next Tuesday will show
this TO be most Enthusiastically so.
But one more appointment re-
mains. Next Saturday, at Wal
lace's Switch, the final discussion
will take place. A very large
crowd is expected and much inter-
est is manifested in that meeting.

FELLow>CITIzENs:
Having been solicited through the
press by large number of voters of
the upper end of She county to be-

next House Of Delegates of Virginia,

swer to that call | declined, but the
call being renewed, with a greatly
Increased number of signers from dit>

my duty to announce my self cam

public mind and will be likely to EN-.
gage the serious attention of our
next Legislature. | therefore, in my
farmer style, address you this short

LIST. On the great, all important
and difficult public debt question,
which has taxed the intellect and
energies of our best and wisest states
men, without satisfactory solution,
stand to>day where l ever stood
since 1t has been a question before
the people, opposed to the Funding
Bill and in favor Of fair, honorable
and equitable readiustment of che
debt upon such basis as will enab e
the State to promptly pay the inter
est, without an increase of present
rate Of taxation, and if elected, will
dH what ever | may be able to affect
that result. With the above eypla.
nation, | endorse the Richu ond
platform as expressing my views ou
the financial condition of our coun-
try.
I'd. In regard to the school tax,
am in favor of it being applied to
the purpose for which it was in
tended, and to no other purpose
and II 1t is necessary that law should
be passed to enforce the proper APP
plication Of said fund, | would give it
my hearty support,
Sd. | am in favor Of changing the
present interest law 50 that all MON
ey loaned, will bear six per cent. in
terest, whether loaned by Banks or
individuals, believing that the present
law, while it enhances interest Of the
few, is oppressive to large majority,
and hence detrimental to the interest
of the whole.

and wherever it car be done without
injury, to reduce the general expenses
of the State in all its departments.

even in this canvass, wiz not be able
to conform 20 what custom requires
at my hands, to visit and eIectiOneer
with you all, bat if it is the will of a
majority Of the voters of my native
county to elect me. | Shall not only

but will promise you to use whatever

and the interest of the State at

VOTE.

The campaign draws to close and
the hour Of voting is nearly upon US.
Let every voter declare his principles
on next Tuesday. Readjustment
should be very simple. Let the taxes
be paid in money alone. No longer
let the bondholder take his money
from the Treasury before the Schools
and Asylums get theirs. This is the
whole of REIMBURSEMENT. Let the In
stitutions of the State be first paid and
let the prime and original functions of
the Commonwealth be performed, and
then let the public creditor come for
ward and get what the State can pay
This is the basis on which his debt
was placed by the contract. The
Funding Bill gave more than the con-
tract, and its principles are running
the State. They are subversive of
government itself. The Bondholders
are very willing to readjust the debt If
the people only ask it. Let us be sure
to do So next Tuesday. One more
week, dear friends, and the victory
will be won,

PRESIDENT HAYES will to-day
enter Richmond beneath its arches
of roses and venerable elms that
we're planted in the day of Jetfer"

If bis administration should
make provision for taking from the
sore shoulders of these ruined
Southern states the load Of debt
that now weighs them to the earth,
it would not only let them rise
again to sunny perches in the Une
ion, but would place him and his
coadjators in inches Of fame that
would make them immortal in the

VINO CAN VoTE. When a man is
exempted by order of the County
Court from the payment of capita
ton tax, can the judge of election
refuse to receive his ballot because
he has not paid such tax? This
question should be settled before
election day. We think he has a
right to vote. -SuBob Herald.
There should be no difficulty IN
this matter. The order of the court,
presented by the exempted vote, is
identical authority with that of the
tax receipt, and will be so received
by the Judges of election. This, we
think, is in accordance with the opin-
ion of Attorney General Field
NoyJoH Ledger.

Death of j. T.. Cowardin.

James =. Cowardin, son of the
venerable editor Of the Richmond
DIsPArcH, died on the 18th. He
was young, but had made a name
as journalist and popular lectur-
or that very few have achieved at
SO early an age. During the last
winter he was listened to by
crowded houses, and the highest
onlogics were paid to his brilliant
genius. As humorist ho had no
equal in Virginia, and there was
no festive gathering in Richmond
of which he was not the glittering
focus of attraction. The magnetic
power of social attraction was de-
velopcd in him to . very high ex-
tent, and he has left more tender
memories enwrcathing his name
than any young man Of his day in
the city. Some men are remem-
bered for their great deeds, some
for their power, and other for their
wealth, but Jimmie Cowardin will
long be unforgotten for his rare ac-
complishments, his inimitable hu-
NOR and his genial, tenderness of
heart that spent itself in the silent
dows of a charity that was almost
unboundcd. On his death-bed he
profeSsed faith in Christ, and, as no
one doubted his sincerity while
living, no one fears that he mis-
took the pearl of great price when
he closed his eyes and said "all is
we'll"

THE city debt commission met at
the Common Cornell chamber last
night. AS the reporters OF the city
papers were excluded, it il imposs lille
to give full report of the proceedings
1t Is understood, however, that the
time Of sessiOn-AhOut three hours
was consumed in debate upon the re.
port to be presented TO the City Coun.
ell. The general opinion was that n
plan should he adopted for funding
the debt at 80 cents on the dollar, and

ers as accept the compromise, no pay

WE have no authority for the
statement, but the papers seem to
agree that Col. Richardson has
withdrawn from tho canvass for
Lieut.. -Governor. He met Gcn'l.
Walker at Harrisonburg, and the
General promptly remounted the
platform of the party, from which
he had boltcd at Wytheville, His
new position lett no issue worth

TIE Episcopal Convention at Bos-

without adopting any Of the more
important innovations proposed, and,
in fact, very few persons expected
that any marked changes would be
made. The rubric for shortened SER
vices seemed to receive more support
than was at first anticipated, as the
regular services are now too extend to
admit of long sermons or lectures,
but this, it must be admitted, is rath-
er an advantage than otherwise, for
the Church forms are never tiresome

are.-Philudelphiu Press.

ing up from TrebizOnd GhaZi Muk-
tar, however, reports that the Russians
have not advanced farther than MILL
dock, on the western slope of SOghau-
Ii Dagh, which is more probable than
the first statement. Doubtless n state
of panic prevails at Erzeroum, giving
rise to all sorts Of unfavorabe rumora.

year, and there will be no difficulty
in getting as many as we shall need
or be able to provide for. BY all
means the next Legislature should
make the proper appropriation to
defray their support. Let us all put
our shoulders to the car, and blow of
breaks.
