problems But the Pennsylvania trunk-line

from pillagc and the property OF the road

it evident beyond contradiction that the
company has the power to keep its INES
open throughout their entire length. Ana NM
this, be it observed, is to be done Witn-
out any demoralizing concessions 10 tne
rioters. Other companies may have enosen
to view the case differently; we belieVs
taey have made a serious mistake, anu
that they will ere long realize their error TOT
bul President Scott has taken the om'y
logical and honest position. which Is 10 say
that the man who not only refuscstto "olh,
but refuses to allow other men TO woTk, n Lis
no rights. in so far as that attitude ol l,'s
goes. which other men are bound TO respect
shst he has therein forfeited every claim TO
the consideration OF his former employers
and the community; and that the company Is
justified, and in fact bound, in reconstruct
ing its business, to cause him to be entirely
eliminated. We hope that the PennsylVa-
MIA railroad will see its way clear to an un.
compromising adherence to the manner OF
settlement as at present made known: we
believe it will do 80, and that revoutionlsts

Some persons seem to draw great dis
tinction between the act Of destroying pro-
perry and that OF taking possession Of it
and OBTAINING it from the custody and use
OF its owners. We see no such great dif-
ference. The act of wrestling property from
its owners, and stopping its operations
without destroying it, is mentioned as a
sort OF virtue with the strikers. 1t is a high
handed lawlessness which should be Sc
yerely punished. Too often this violent
seizure of property leads to the destruc-
ton Of it; and such seizure should be
regarded as meriting punishment the
more severe because it imperils the pro-
perty SO seized. The act OF the strikers
OF interfering with property and the
liberty Of those who desire to work is
grave outrage upon peace and liberty
and right, and the laws that punish it
should prescribe a penalty Of q dignity
equal to the offence. The nature OF such
interference with property and liberty is so
serious, and the offence has been so often
repeated OF late years, that measures are
required adapted to the times for the pro-
lection OF the public. 1t will not do that
indulgence and misconstruction should any
longer intercept the course Of justice.

General Fiiz. Lees Views.

TO the Editors Of the Richmond Dispatch :
The clearness and conciseness OF General
FitZ.. Lees tsState-debt" letter battles
every effort to peryert its obvious import.
His avowed purpose to cooperate, if elected
Governor, with the Legislature in every
measure consistent with good faith in this
matter leaves nothing more to be said. Be-
lieving that it is right, and therefore in
separably connected with the true interest
Of the State and her people that Virginia
hold fast her integrity, he said so in round
terms. But what does he mean by this ? il
has been asked. Why not so little deeper
in the matteri Because, as he said, this is
matter for Legislative action. Not that
his views are left rs conjecture, for bis
frankness in discussing this Important ques.
ton has left no doubt in the minds OF his
friends. '. .....:..-
/. He deems it important to remember
that the State got value for her bonds.
9. It is settled beyond controversy that &
State, like an individual, is bound by a con-
tract to which she is party.
8. The funding bill was iniudicious and
unfriendly to the best interests OF the State.
4, The State should use every effort to in
duce all her creditors to surrender their
bonds, and take bonds in lieu thereof bear
ing such rate of interest as we can pay
yearly, and leave balance for sinkin G
fund.- without increasing the present rate OF
taxation, thereby placing all the creditors
On an equal footing.
5. We must engage to practice the most
rigid economy, as an individual in debt
would feel in honor bound to do, and to de.
vote all that remains, after paying our
necessary expenses, to the purposes already
named .i.-- X.
E. We must make close collection OF
taxes. '.. ..-.'.47.
:. Proper efforts must be made to attract
immigration, with capital, in order to in
crease the taxable valucs>of the State.
These views. it is believed, point to an
early and final settlement OF this grave ques-
ton in manner alike honorable and Just
to both parties, and greatly to the advantage
Of all concerned. F'' 81 OBSERVER.

Our Richmond contemporary claimed to
have anticipated Mahone's reimbursement
letter on the debt question, and freely en-
dorsed those views az its own. We under
stand it now to bolt that position, and to
denounce it as "repudiation - and g COM
munism -! -Petersburg Post.
We have Unchanged in the slightest de-
gree. Read Mr.. HOLIDAYS letter. 1t is
substantially our first editorial in different
words. Here,is the test: Are you for re-
pudiation if the creditors. of Virginia refuse
to agree to a .readiustment? This we I'M
derstand to be General 3IAHoSE's position.
This is not our position, and never was.

candidate for Reputation if the creditors OF
Virginia refuse to agree to your PROPOSE.

favor OF readiustment mean?

Malone OH REIMBURSEMENT.

Nahone's letter on the question OF re-
adjustment OF the State debt has created
considerable interest throughout the State,
and, in many instances, has produced q
public Sentiment in his favor .Burdened
and oppressed as our people are, they would
gladly sustain any candidate who could
point out n way by which they could be re-
iieycd OF the heavy obligations now rest
inc upon them. We take it that all
the candidates are equally anxious for
reimbursement, il it can. be effect
ed without injury to the creditors or
the sacrifice Of the honor OF the Common
wealth. But we contend that Malone has
not suggested the means by which the debt
can be readiusted. His letter seems to have
been worded solely with view OF securing
votes. 1t is the utterance OF demagogue
declaration for effect, intended to excite
expectations on the part Of the people,
which he knows he would be unable
to meet il elected Governor II he
has any plan to propose let him
state it, so that the people may have
an opportunity OF considering it and dis
cussing it, His present attitude reminds
us of the Radicals who promised the ne
groes forty acres and a mule iithcy would
vote the Radical ticket when they did not
| have the land and the mule to give. Ma
hone promises reimbursement il the people
will elect him Governor, when he knows
that he would have no more power az Gov
ernor to effect reimbursement than any
other citizen of the State.
We have avoided, during the canvass,
anything like personal attacks, for we think
such things are to be condemned. The cam
didates should be permitted to stand upon
their merits. But we do think that until
Malone shows his ability to gIapple with
this great question by presenting plan or
basis Of settlement he should not be selected
for this particular purpose for the simple
reason that he is in favor OF a "readiust-
ment." That declaration means nothing
unless it is supported by plan by which re-
adjustment can be brought about.
We repeat, then, what we have said be-
fore: Let the State Convention take decided
ground upon this question, 80 as to set at
rest all future agitation OF the subject. We
all want the debt reduced, il it can de done
honorably. No true Virginian would have
it reduced in any other Way.-Hampton

The Letters

We present to our readers to-day tue ie''
lcrs Of Messrs. HOLIDAY and TALlFERRe
ON the subjects OF the State debt and the
public schools. AS we expected, they arr
true to Virginia interests and honor. IheH
recognize the embarrassments OF the State
the oppressed condition Of her people, anc
indulge the hope and belief that some ar
rangement Of the public debt may be MADE
which will tend to the public relief WITH
out an infringement Of the honor OF tne
State. Both gentlemen, with true Flrginlan
integrity and pride, rcpudiate reputation
with indignation.
We regard these letters with srea' st,S-
faction. They utter the sentiments OF inc
heart O; Virginia. General IAL1AFEKko
strikes a timely and gallant blow in declar-
;,r thai he will resolutely oppose any efiort
70 rcmoye from Office the distinguished
members OF the Court OF Appeals for hav-
inc decided that the funding act was DINO
iur. He properly declares that such an Oh
fort would "shock the moral sense OF all
tr,,e men," Virginia will indeed be fallen
when her sons shall no longer respect the
ouritv OF her judiciary. Not forty mil
lions-ntt any amount OF money-can re-
compcnsc a community for the loss OF pu-
ritv of the fountain Of justice. Nor does
General TAIlAFERKo speak without occa-
sion. Those who have raised the cry OF re-
pudiation arc quite ready to direct their
batteries upon the sacred temple of justice
We were not in error when, upon the ap'
pearance Of General MAHoNE's letter, we re-
marked that every leading man In the State
would hail an adjustment OF the pnbiic deo'
that would give relief without infringing
right as a great blessing. We sec that suci'
is the disposition OF Messrs. TALIAFERRo
and HOLIDAY, than whom there are none
more devoted to the honor and interest OF
Iirunia

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
From the Norfolk Frginian.]-On the
subject OF public schools, General Taliafcrro
speaks the sentiment, we believe, OF a large
majority Of the voters Of the Commonwealth.
ii the standard OF public education can be
raised without involving additional public
expenditure all will agree that it should be
done at once. We believe that thorough
and Systematic effort in this behalf would
produce the desired result. We should like
to see our common-school system, while
resting on the primary schools as its base,
have for itsapeS the University OF Virginia,
and this we believe might be done without
at all interfering with the present scope OF
that institution Such an arrangement
would disarm the enemies OF the University
OF the most specious plea now urged
against it, and would bring to its support
the masses of the State, who would recog-
nize it as the crowning glory OF the public
school system. -.
