Public Speaking.
.on tho Marion nerald.l

FROM inc marion herald.
On Monday there were several
speeches made at the Court Houss on
the subject Of the State debt, As pre-
Viously announced, Col. Fulkerson
candidate for the State Senate from
this District, was present, and being
introduced TO the crowd assembled
spoke for nearly two hours, delivering
very exhaustive and searching
speech showing great familiarity
with the debt question. His strong
antl-funding views were well received
by the crowd, and it was clearly evil
denced that nearly every person pres
ent agreed with the speaker in his
opinions favorable to a Teadjustment
OF the debt. He criticised the express
sions OF Gen. Walker, nominee for
Lieut.. Governor, made ia a speech at
Wytheville last week. We believe
Hine-tenths of the people of Smyth
concur with Col. Fulkerson.
After Col. FulkersOn, Gov. McMul-
lin addressed the people briefly, en-.
dorslng the views of the first speaker,
but going a little farther, claiming
that the Government of the United
States owed the debt, and not Virgin
Ia. The Governor, at the close of his
speech, announced himself candi-
date for the House of Delegate.
Gov. McMullin was followed by Col.
James NJ. French, of Bland county,
who was a member OF the Senate at
the time of the passage of the odious
Funding Bill, and acquainted with
the manner IN which IL became law.
He was of those who violently OPP
posed the Funding Bill, and made on
Monday an excellent speech on the
debt question

BRISTOL INSULTED.
An Old story with a lesson.

Fifty years ago an English cavalry
regiment was on the march in the
west of England, and its route lay
through the ancient city of Bristol,
The baud, as is usual on such Occa-
sions, began to play, aud led Off with
what was then Il popular air, "Buy
Broom" but its strains appeared to
produce a singular effect on the pop
ulace, who saluted the regiment with
shower of brickbats, its command
er getting his men out of the city as
fast as he could. This somewhat
"striking" incident was afterwards
explained--the inhabitants had snpS
posed the pla,ntive air to refer to the
want of cleanliness of their city.

had in the United States Circuit
Court next month. If the barkeep>
ers are not successful in DEFEATING it
then the matter will be contested in
the State courts, and a vigorous fight
will be made against the register in
the Legisture when it meets. So far
Richmond is the only city in the
Commonwealth where the registers
have been put in operation. It will
be some time yet before the State
can be supplied, and this general
exemption from the liquor tax gives
rise to serious complaint here, where
it has to be paid,
Mr.. D. G, Yuengling, jr. the New
York brewer, who has been foremost
in the suit now pending against the
registers. arrived here to>day. aud
will hold consultation with the liquor
dealers and take whatever other nee
essary steps that may be required to
defeat the register.

Had these scoundrels have known

Spence, Esq as well as do his friends

Especial Dispatch to the World
Richmond Sept. IG.-An inspec-
ton of the Moflett register in twenty
four leading saloons up to midnight
yesterday show paid tax on aloo-
holic and malt drinks of about $3.50
for the four days the registers have
been in operation. 4 calculation
based upon this exhibit shows that in
the $50 places where liquor is sold
the revenue to the State from this
city alone would be about 500, GOO
per annum, and in the State about
$500, 900. This will insue the MOf,
fett register as a permanent taN>pay-
ing institution.
The barkeepers are still bitterly
opposed to the register, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the tax comes out
of the consumer, upon whom they
have raised the prices, Their Offices
tious are that the Mohett law imposes
the duty of collecting the taxes upon
them, which no otherclass Of business
ever is subjected to; that it occupies
their time without compensation, and
that il exposes their business TO the
public.
