The State Debt.

| We made a proposition several days ago
concerning the payment OF the State debt
which our exchanges do not seem eager to
discuss. 1t may be that some of them be-
] lcve it would be an unpopular measure,
and. instead of trying to lead the people up
to a high standard of public morality and
virtue, are, like the politicians, content to
pander to popular prejudiceS and follow
instead OF lead. Our proposition was to
make a determined effort and pay off the
debt ut once.
The entire debt acknowledged by the
St;Re OF Virginia is in round numbers $780,
| 600, 900, the market value Of which is about
| 60 cents on the dollar, or SlS,000,00o in all.
The assessed value OF The property, real
and personal, in the State is about $780,
900, 0G0. Hence special tax OF per cent.
would realize S1S,0O0,000, and would en-
| tingrlish the debt at once.
We further suggest that. should it be
urged that the farmers would not be able
TO raise the money, the law might be so
worded that the tax could be paid in grain
at the market yane, With cost of transport
tatioh added. and by that means the pro-
duction OF one acre would pay the tax on
100 acres. For instance: One hundred
acres of land assessed 1t So an acre would
amount TO $500, and ten barrels OF corn,
very ordinary yield, would average $50,
which would be exactly the tax the farmer
would have to pay on his one hundred acres.
With the State free from debt and eco
nomically administered, Il tax OF ten cents
on the one hundred dollars would be sutf-
clrnt to meet her current expenses.
| Suppose the State were free from debt,
can't any man see at once that her real estate
would advance in value, and that immigra-
ton would be attracted hitner:
! The special tax would bear harder on the
cities than on the counties, for the reason
that property in the cities is assessed pro-
portionately higher than i'll the country. and
is generally non-producing, for most house
| keepers live in their own houses; but the
cities have shown disposition to maintain
the credit OF the State even at sacrifice,
and we believe they would not be backward
in this hour OF her need.
This scheme would be unpopular with
those who are in favor of repudiating the
debt, but if the press would urge upon the
people the fact that tax of six per cent.
would pay of the entire debt we believe
the measure would get support enough to
push it through. 1t would be glorious
thing for Old Virginia to be honorably free
from debt. -PortSmouh Enterprise.

Some of our exchanges arc clamorinS for
the candidates upon the State ticket to make
a canvass. TO us there seems to be no oc-
casion for any such thing. The least agita-
ton we can have now the better it will be
for the people, who have already had too
much it. There is no organized opposition
to our excellent State ticket, and in all proba-
bility there will be none: then what is the use
of a canvass? Let the candidates stay at
home, say we, and make all necessary ar
engagements preparatory to entering upon
their duties next New Year, and allow the
people to pursue their usual avocations.-
Salem Conservative.
The idea OF having a gubcrnatorial cam
yass in the State when there is no opposition
in the field that will amount to row Of pins
is too visionary to be entertained for mo-
ment and if practiced would be seriously
Injurious to our candidates and party.
Candidates for the Legislature in each coun-
" and district can do enough Of canvass
ing to bring out very full count, and give
Il solid vote for the State ticket.-PeterS-
burg Post.
Half million dollars in gold were with
drawn from the Bank OF England on W ed

The Richmond Wing predicts that not a
single man will be elected to the Legislature
who is in favor OF levying a tax sufficient to
pay the interest on the public debt. This
will manifest a decentralization fatal to the
credit of the State. and indirectly injurious
to American credit generally. If the great
State of Virginia can repudiatc her obli-
CATIONS, deliberately incurred and created
for valuable purposes, OF which she en-
joys the benefit, the damage will not
be confined to the dishonest State,
but will be felt by other States.
which will find the money markets OF the
world. if not closed against them, reluctant
to receive their proposals. While no State
has valid excuse for reputation. 1t Is
difficult to conceive OF more unpardonabie
delinquency than that OF Virginia, when
could meet her honest obligations by tax
not larger than is paid in many States: put
which deliberately adopts the course OF dis
honesty, because it is easier in the begin
ming, and because there is no superior law
to compel an honest recognition OF her in
debtcdness. Providence journal.

The Eastern War.

1t is settled that the Scryians are to 90 III
with Russia. Now is good time Tor tneh'
TO do so. The Russian success ut Lovatz
places the Russians south OF PleVna ana
imperils the position OF OsMAN Pasha. a
general advance Of the Russians upon him
IS rendered necessary. The Servians could
etfectualy corporate il they would advance
from the right Of Plevna.
The rllmors of the prospect OF intcrvcn-
ton in the Eastern war arc. we think, alto
rcther improbable. We have no idea that
Germany entertains any disposition to en-
courage peace through intervention. The
Eastern question has so long disturbed the
peace Of Europe that it is clearly only to be
settled by driving the Turk out OF Europe.
This sort OF compulsory adjustment" OF
the Eastern question is the only mode OF
putting III end to it.
We think it probable that Russia will
soon put the question as to the cooperation
OF the Turkish provinces with her beyond
further doubt. Those provinces only need
to be assured that they will not bcin danger
OF falling again under the mercies OF the
Turk. Even when they see that with their
cooperation this point will be settled they
will GO to the field and assist i'll securing
their own freedom from Turkish tyranny.
The Eastern question must he ended.
Russia has gone too far to turn back. She
is sustained with Il power and determine
ton that not only fixes her determination.
but satisfies Europe that the Turkish pro-
vinces are to be liberated, and that Turkey
is about to lose her dominionS in Europe
finally and permanently.

The President has informed LANGsToN,
the Minister to Hayti, that it is incompati-
BILE with his position as an Officer: OF the
Government to be making political speeches
in Ohio. And now it would be we'll to
know if the amiablc and estimable postmas-
ter at Stauuton can with propriety give his
political speeches in print while holding
an important position under Government.
That is one of the most important questions
OF the day. The postmaster's graces should
not give him an immunity from regulations
that are provided TO protect public Office
from the bad tendencies Of party agitation.

Alexandria is in trouble, and wants to
:. adjust" by scaling her debt. A commit
tee OF the Council proposes that the debt Of
the city be scaled down to fifty cents in the
dollar, which the committee believe there
is no one In Alexandria who would be I'M
willing to help to pay. The committee pro-
pose that a Law be passed by The Virginia
Legislature to assist in carrying out the
plan-the law to provide for securing the
oondholders six per cent. upon the scaled
debt, and making the coupons upon the
bonds receivable In taxes and dues TO the
city. The debt OF the city is s1,15s,249.

WENDELL PHILLIPS is the greenback nom
inee for Governor OF Massachusetts. We
know this greenback party is exceedingly
small in Massachusetts,, but we would bet
on PHILLIPs getting more votes than will be
cast for Mr.. MILLER; who is nominated In
Southwest Virginia for Governor OF the
Old Dominion. It is hard to undercut
PHILLIPS, but we'll bet on MILLER doing
that very thing.
