Mr.. Herndon's Address.

We this morning give up much OF our
space to Senator HERNDoN's calm, cool, ar
gumentatire discussion OF the questions
connected with the payment Of the public
debt. By the way, how is it that such men
as Senator HERSDoN are expected to be op-
posed to every measure that savors Of repu-
diation How is it that all OF their acquaint-
ances take it for granted that they are sound
upon such questions?
Senator HERNDoN's arguments cut close.
They may break the skin Of those OF the
forciblc readiusters who are not pachy-
derms. But he is in dead earnest. He is
not candidate for Office. He is, simply q
patricia true Virginian. He speaks forth
only the words of truth and soberness.
Hear him for his cause.

Another Joke.

merely a joke. Mr. NAY had no idea that
Mr.. BENNETT would be such an ass rs TO

even wrote a long letter on the SUBJECT. The
upshot of Mr.. EAToN's letter was that no
such quarrel as had been represented had
taken place. There had BEEN it was true,
great noise, great connection, a great
uDroar; but 1t seemed to have happened
without any cause, and to have been II
sort of spontaneous combustion, producing
Il roar like that of a chimney on fire. This
may explain how, on u former occasion,
the club house came near burning down.
We accepted Mr.. EAToN's explanation as
entirely satisfactory. But there is STA. one
question which we now wish to ask him.
Was there proposition made at the Union
League to reimburse MIR. u. CHANDLER for
moneys he had expended in political enter
prises or undertakings i'll certain Southern
States?
Did Mr. EATON support this PROPOSE
ton?
Was not Mr.. H. CHANDLER, at the time he
incurred these expenditures, member of
the Cabinet?
Is this proceeding, altogether consistent
with Mr.. EAToN's unchanged ideas of
civil service reform? Is Mr.. CnANDLER's
such civil service as Mr.. EATON desires to
secure TO this country?

The Debt of the state and the city

The message of Gov. ROBINSON to the
LEGISLATURE shows that the state debt Of
all kinds amounts TO 5000, 600, and that
there are sinking funds applicable to the
payment OF certain portions of this debt
which amount to SllO0OO 900. leaving bal
ance unprovided for of S0.0O00OO Gov.
Robinson assures the people that the sink
ing funds are uumpurcd, and that the
cash aud securities belonging to these
funds are all on hand ana ready for use
when called for.
Gov. RoBISsou states that s10, 900 Of
the public debt Is for bounties paid to sol
diers during the late war all of which falls
due in April, and that upward Of s9,O00O00
of the sinking funds are set apart to pay
this debt, and that this sum, with the re-
ceipts from taxes now collecting for that
and other purposes, will afford ample
means to extingllish the bounty debt when
it natures.
Thus if the state does not contract new
debts between now and April, it will then
owe about $4,000, 900. aud will have 5000
900 in the sinking funds applicable to its
payment, leaving a balance of only Is, 000,-
600 unproyided for
This is n most encouraging view of the
financial condition of the State Govern
ment. Let W. compare ii with the financial
situation Of our city government. Mayor
| ELY in his message TO the Common Council
shows that the entire debt of the city, in
| Guiding its floating aud contingent liabil-
ties, amounts to 100000. 600, and that tho
city has n sinking fund OF SIS 900 0Oo appli-
cable 10 the payment of the debt. Assume
ing that the sinking fund remains unim-
palred-a subject Wherein the Mayor gives
the people no assuranccs-the balance Of
absolute and contingent Liabilities OF the
city stands at Sl32. 100000.
The contrast between the liabilities of
the State and the city is fun OF warning.
Ii does not abate the modification OF the
people of the city to know that while the
debt of the State is rapidly diminishing,
that OF the city seems to be gradually
| Increasing.
