How to Pay the Debt.
ROANOKE COUNTY. VA,
Gaptayx,har 1917

September 6, 1877.
Editors Dispatch: Gentlemen,-In re-
cent article from the Richmond Mig on
the subject OF the State debt the question is
asked, Chow. then, do these gentlemen
[alluding TO the anti-repudiators] propose
to meet the annual deficiency Of $700,000?"
Now, have ut least one hundred times
asked the regulators, anti-funders, read-
iusters, or whatever they call themselves
the question as to what their plans were,
and particularly as to how they pro-
posed to get rid OF that portion OF
the funding act which makes coupons
receivable for taxes, since the effort has been
made to repeal it and utterly failed, Vir-
ginia's own Supreme Court having decided
by vote OF four to one that it cannot be
repealed, and I have never yet had given
me even plausible answer. 1t is true that
have heard some talk about getting new
Supreme Court that will reverse the de-
cision OF the present one and decide against
the funding act entire; but even IL the
Legislature OF the State should sink so low
1.-THE people never willy as to elect Judges
with special reference to their opinions on
this subject, and thus obtain decision
contrary to that already given, does any
sane man imagine even for moment
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States would not set inside such q decision,
since every department OF the State govern
mont-exeeutiye, legislative, and judicial.
mas already recognized the binding force
and effect OF the coupon clause. But / did
not intend to discuss this matter, but only
to answer the question of the Wing asstO.
hoW the deficiency Of s$700, 900 can be met,
iand the debt Itself be paid acttlt0ut increas-

Our Republican Helpers.

Our friend. ex-senator JOHN +. LEWIS. Is
on the line Of the % enforced,' but then he
is an "Old-Line Wing" metamorphoscd
into Republican, who hates Democracy
so much that he would like to see the party
inditferently termed Conservative or DEM
ocrat smashed into smithereenS, and he
knows nothing can do this so well as the
middle OF funding-bil madness and ere
adjustment He, like the Republicans
of his type, is quite animated upon
the opportunity now presented. We
can well imagine the zc<t with which
they will aid in swelling the feud which has
been so unwisely caused in the Conservative
party. Some OF our Republican contempo-
rarics may really think that i'll this work
they are not attempting to un$ettlc the
quiet and administrative order of Viz
cinia. But they are politicians who
have suffered in 4 degree from an eN-
clusion that has whetted their desire
for active service. They will, therefore,
naturally be blind, if not indifferent, 10 the
tendency of their participation in the pres
ent agitation. Nevertheless we are so firmly
grounded in our faith in the conservatism
Of Virginia that we hardly think our own
malcontents, with the Republicans to help
them, will succeed in bringing any disaster
upon the public credit.

f,alifnrria-SarpAnt,

We are delighted at the result in Cali
fornia because it puts n qutetns upon the
most "narrow-nninded blockhead' in the
Senate. SARGENT was one OF the bitferest
haters of the South, and was always one OF
the blocks in the way to obstruct any nie''
sure that tended to Justice and conciiia'io',
in the policy towards the South. lie couiu

nity. He was only narrow-gause' pei

arn and southern soldiers. and. seet'eu ny
both North and South, we have since Tue
war felt that it was grtevous Outrage "
the South that her representatives should
display any sentiment but that OF lihera'ity
unon the sectional question. She. might
have been impartial, but certainly should
never have been alien to the-South, when
Mr.. SARGENT was. Again: California was
wealthy, and the riches she acquired should
have liberalized her. She should not have
been afflicted with bigoted.and blind parti-
san feelings. ..s- ..:.
It is therefore very satisfactory that the
politieaI revolution at the last election has
yindicated that state from what we consider
the MISREPRESENTATION of the men who cir
cunstances placed in the attitude OF repre-
sentatives OF her people. We hope thai
hereafter those who stand in the public
councils to speak for the Gold State vii
more properly represent her sentiments ane
true position OF fairness and justice towards
the sections that have been so divided by
tradition and prejudice.
Although the Democrats triumph in Cali
forum, the turning out OF SARGENT Will b'
entirely harmonious with the coneilatorI
policy of the present Administration. That
policy has borne down all opposition thus
far. and we look for its entire triumph
The California triumph cannot lie detrl
mental to President HAYES, however de-
structive it may be to Republicanism. The
nation must be relieved OF that, and it is q
proper incident in the process OF this relief
that Mr.. SARGENT falls. he is but head
OF the hydra that is Topped of. One after
another must go till the monster is. dead,
not to revive.

The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1877-09-27
For the pemocratic press.

The Republican Democrat of last
week, in commenting on the perform
ance on Sunday night, Sept. 10th, at
Reeds Opera House, by Il man calling
himself DIR. Edwards, very justly,
think, calls it q fraud, a bald headed
fraud-that is, a fraud plain to be seen.
I think no one will dispute that it was
fraud, and a fraud of the most trans
parent kind. and the pretender, DIR.
Edwards, and his accOmplice, ought
to have been arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses. The
writer of that article undertakes to
make point against Spiaitualism, and
says, "Spiritualism per Sc, got good
round blow between the eyes, Sunday
night, and the money it cost was well
enough expended" Edwards and his
low confederates deserve punishment
for their false pretenses. They are then
simple pretenders, and not what they
claim to be. Now then, does that af-
feet Spiritualism? Suppose I should
say because man, or men claiming to
be Baptist, Methodist or Presbyterian,
&c. should, as has often been the case,
prove to lie frauds and scoundrels, that
the theology per Sc, of the Raptists,
Methodists, Presbyterians, &C., had
got q good round blow between the
eyes, 1 would be regarded, and justly
too, as foolish bigot, or a bigoted fool
The parallel is perfect.
FAIR PLAY,
