The Two Kinds Of Taxes.

L
The ultra sgitators about the public debt
have taken the ground that the inability OF
Virginia to pay was owing to the heavy
taxation imposed upon her by the Federal
Government. We deemedit, therefore, falr
to charge upon them, in an article in yes
terday's Dispatch, that they shrank from
attacking the Federal Government while
making the most rude assaults upon the
States creditors. This was, we said, in the
language OF Governor KEMPER, showing
esprit that sbrinks from an encounter with
the strong and tramples on the weak"
But it will be remembered by many Of
eur readers that when the leaders who at
TEMPTED to excuse Virginia for her alleged
disability on the ground Of being overbur-
tbened by Federal taxation made their ar! !
puments on the subject they were an
,swered by the Dispatch, which showed that
the tobacco tax did not in any manner inn
pair the wealth OF Virginia; that every dol
lar OF the tax was paid by the consumer,
and that not only was the tax returned to
the original payer, but 1t was returned
with profit which was assessed upon 1t
In accordance with commercial customs,
which are as regularly observed as though
required by law. The answer was com
plete. Nevertheless, as the gentlemen
claimed that the Federal tax was the way
in which Virginia was crippled, it is fair
that they shonld be eensured for want Of
Independence and boldness in not attacking
10 nau CO hravo-I
nay, ferocious--in buldozing and yitupe-
rating the bondbolder.
It is but Just to turn their own guns upon
themselves. But we say that there was
nothing in their argument. The Federal
tobacco tax does not impair the pecuniary
ahiiity OF Virginia Mt all And it was as
fallacious to assume that It did "as it was to
assume that Virginia was disabled. This Is
the point where the great error lies, and it
!. is the point OF attempted justification for
all the hullabaloo raised by gentlemen who
seek to impress the public mind with the
idea, FIRST, that the bondholders are per-
sons that deserve the public contempt;
and, second, that their claims ought
30 be paid without increasing the
: public hurthens. They ignore the idea that
the money loaned by the bondholders was
loaned to build the public works that are
now in our possession and hourly serving
the public interests and convenience. They
would take the money Of the creditor and
enjoy the benefits that fiow from Its expen-
diture. and tarn him of, as would debtor
of rude manners and blunted sensibihties,
:: with rebMke for being SO pressing, and
with the assurance that payment would be
made. at leisure and when 1t was, conye-

Now, we have never believed that Virginia
couldn't pay. The assumption that che

Another Caucus.

Some Of the prominent members OF the
Legislature have called meeting OF mem
bers OF the Legislature who belong to the
Conservative party, excluding Radicals and
Independents, to consult and determine
upon measures with regard to the public
debt that may be deemed proper. The
meeting is to take place this evening at 7:30
in the Hall Of the House of Delegates. The
call is addressed to those who have been
elected as nominees Of the Conservative
party, and those who have been elected as
Conservatives by Conservative voters in
counties and cities where there were no
nominations by the Conservative party.
Evidently the object is to recur to the
Conservative party--to call it into the field
relying upon its action as safe way to
bring the State out OF its present embarrass-
ment. Certainly the Conservative party
has delivered Virginia from one OF the
most perilIous conditions in which it ever
was placed. The movers, thinking that the
present peril is calculated to arouse great
deal of public devotion, and that from the
nature and origin Of the Conservative party
there is every reason to hope that it will
proceed to consider the condition Of the
State unshackled by that personal entangle-
ment, that scheming for the promotion
of the ambition Of unworthy partisans
which SO complicates legislative action in
these times, have made this call upon the
Conservative party. .,,esf., si:..t s..s.ra ~ .
AS the movement of tonight. will there
fore be wholly devoted TO the public well
fare, we feel that it will, as it certainly
should, be largely attended, and that it will
be able to make a demonstration in the right
direction. 4. .r,!tisg t;.t....,:
