Gov. Kemper's Message.

We give copious extracts from the l-es-
sage of Coy. kemper. sent to the Legisla-
ture OH the 9Th inst. We have not the time
this week to criticise the views advanced as
their importance demands. To reply to
them, it would only be necessary to repro
duce Gov. Kemper's report, or exhibit, laid
before the bondholders' Convention in 1874.
Either the Governor was vastly mistaken
then, or he is now. and to the degree that
he is mistaken in one or the ether of his
papers, does he mislead the people. The
ter dency CT the message is to defeat any
adjustment measure that might be adopted
by the Legislature, and consequently to re-
mand to the people again the subject in
volvcd.
We regard this as an almost fatal blum
dcr-one that the Governor, if his devotion
to Virginia is as intense as he expresses it
may live to regret, and all who take like i'm.
practicable and extreme views upon this
question.
The matters Involved will, from time to
time. couie up before the Legislature. and
we shall cndeavor to keep our readers in
formed. as shape is giveE 10 any measures
affecting them. There is, as. yet, a bad
feeling existing among the members of the
! Legislature. The course OF the Funding
! Bill friends in the caucus on Saturday night
was extremely unwise. and well calculated
to rcndef Ill efforts to harmonic conflicting
| views utterly impossible. We, however
hope for the bcst, ana shall await develop
ments.

Good Signs.

The loca! legislative personals in the Dis
patch of Thursday last. contain The follow
ing:
'sInasmnchas Republicans hold Il balance
of power in the Conservative caucus, it
seems agreed that there shall be no more
caucussing. Four officers of the House
were elected yesterday without the interpo-
si.ion Of tile caucus. A number of the most
prominent and able of the Conservatives
have stated that they would never go into
another carcus.n
If this announcement shall he faithfully
adhered TO, we may look for more fidelity
to public trusts, better officers, more econ
omy in public expenditures, and better
times than we have had in Virginia for many
years. The caucus has been the curse of
State. Its endorsement has covered q null
titude Of sins, and even dcfed public opin-
ion.
AS pertinent to this point we quote the
following editorial from the Richmond State
of the 9th, a Democratic paper of the first
water. Under the caption of ':Two Deaths, -
it says:
King Caucus is dead, for time at least.
in Virginia, and in that fact one may find
abundant consolation for the death of the
Conservative Party. For that is dead, too
dead as Hector or hammer, or any other
well-worn type Of death.
Close observers have for many months
declared that party to be i'll Of a disease
from which there is no cOnva,escencc, the
disease of old age but the patient was oc-
casionaly so fretful, il not vigorous, that
people would not believe he was yet in great
danger. When. however. lie fell into the
comatose silence which followed the conven-
ton of last summer there was no hope left,
and nobody was much surprised when the
| party gave mp the ghost and, so to speak,
published its last will and testament in the
meeting of Tuesday night, declaring Itself
/ without effects and desiring the Indcpen-
dents to see it decently buried. They buried
! it, not very ,iecently. and now the question
! is, who shall administer the trust estate
! Nirginia-which the Conservative party had
| in charge. For the moment there seems nc
! special administrator, for every mah in tn,
/ long line from The debt payer to the debl
( repudiator declares himself the proper per
! son 10 take charge of the estate and collect
the percentages.
! Public Opinion is to try the cause and de
clare who is really to succeed to the trus
tees power and duty, and While everybody
claims to have the ear Of that court, it is Ger
tain that everybody cannot be made trustee
Meantime, the estate langnishcs and TIT
credit which was not always high when thu

Mr.. Paurs Resolutions.

We commend 10 the careful attention of
the readers of this paper, the series of
resolutions offered by Senator Paul in She
Senate last Monday and published in the
letter of o.r Richmond correspondent. Not
only do they foreshadow the line OF policy
which will most likely be pursued by the
majority Of the Senate and Eouse, but they
express tine sentiments of the people of Vir-
GINA.
We shall refer more at leugth to them in
future, and in the meantime we advise all
to carefully read and consider them.

The SURRENDER OF PLEvNA. The re-
salt Of the Russo-Turkish war is now practi-
cally determined by the surrender of Osman
Pasha. Plcvna, the Sedan Of the Turks, is
in the hands of the Muscoytc, and from one
end of the Russian empire to the other de-
monstrations OF Joy signalize the feeling of
relief which the certainty OF the issue pro-
duces. Only the inferior forces of Sulienan
Pasha and Mehcmet Ali now remain to i'm
pede the progress OF the combined Russian
armies in Bulgaria, with whatever strategic
aid they may receive from the forts of the
famous quadrilateral, and Which the Rus
Slams may now afford to defy ; while on the
other side OF the Black Sea there is but lit
tie to hope for, even in any of the most
dash:ng enterprises which the beleagueretl
Moukhtar Pasha, the most skillful and one
of the bfavcst chiefs OF tie Turkish army,
may essay. The topic uppermost in Eu-
rope, apart from the great victory just an
nounced, is now the mode OF settling the
terms of peace. The attitude of the great
powers has hitherto been one OF observation
merely. The efforts of diplomacy to pre-
vent the outburst of the war failed, and
England, Germany and Austria have pre-
served Il strict neutrality. The question
with Russia now seems to be whether either
Or any of these powers will be justified in
insisting upon participation in the settle
ment of peace which they were powerless to
preserve. The neutrality of each power,
however, and especially of England ard
Austro-Iungary, was limited to non-inter-
ference only so long as their respective in
terest We're not endangered. The peril
which the outcome Of the war suggests TO
England has been already well defined
Her vast possessions in India, as we'll as the
freedom of her communication with them
must became sources of profound anxiety
with any important expansion of Russian
territory, power or privilege. The feeling
OF Austro-Hungary has likewise cyinced
jealousy. and more than once the Hunga-
rians have indicated a spirit of hostility
which has required the constant exercise of
vigilance aud conservatism at Vienna to re-
press. Bit the sentiment of Austria has
been neither in sympathy with the Turks
nor in hostility To England. CONT Antlras-
sy has Just declared that she is strongly OPP
posed to the idea that in compliance with

The two wings of the Conservative party
which met in separate caucuscs in Rich
mond, on Saturday night last, attracted to
tliei.. folds the Republican members Of the
Legislature in about equal proportion. In
other words the Republicans were pressed
into the two factions, or elements, assimla-
ting with those with whom they agreed on
the State debt question. The Conservatives
split about the centre, and the Republicans
driftcd as their inclination and judgment
lead. The indications tins far. point to the
disintcgration Of both Of the Old parties. the
striking ont OF the color line, and the re-
organization OF parties upon State issues.
This is one healthy sign, and the first step
tcyards the prosperity of Virginia. We
have tic fears that there will be anything
attempted by either that will initiate against
the interests OF the State. 4 fter little
fretting ans, display of hot blood, matters
will level down, and the common sense of
tte Legislature get to work, to bring about
