Governor Kemper, of Virginia, has sent q
message to the Legislature Just assembled
at Richmond which is an able ond honest
State paper. 1t is largely taken up with the
discussion Of the State finances, and shows
that even with the present rate Of taxation
Virginia can now meet the interest and
finally pay the principal of its debt, and he
declares that good faith and honor, as we'll
as the public interests, require that it shall
do so. 1t is the plea Of an honorable Viz
gnia gentleman Of the old school to his fel-
-Virginians to maintain the faith and
credit of State whose name was once the
synonym for private honor and public good
faith. We hope it may prove elective
Wilmington (DeL) Commercial.
Our readers will see with qualification
Governor Kenver's clear, uncompromising
appeal for the payment of Virginia's debts
without ttinching. 1t is particularly re-
ireShins in these days Of Democratic deln-
quency and reputation in the West
PhiiadetphiS Press.
Ii Governor Kempcr's words are needed
there will be no reputation in Virginia.
II not, so much the worse for Virginia, for
no traditions or past honors or defunct
craftsmanship can atone for present dis
honesty. -PhiQdelphia Times.

The Conservatives made great mistake
in permitting Independents and Radicals to
60 into their caucus. Messrs. Burnham and
Mcdaniel, Of this city and county, who are
not Conservatives. but were elected by Il
party that declared itself separate ami dis
tinct from the Conservatives party which
consisted OF few white men witt! the
great mass OF negroes-had no more bust
ness there than they could have in the Cab
met OF Mr.. Hayes. 1t is doubted by those
who are well informed whether Mr. Burn
ham ever gave a square Conservative vote,
while Mr.. Mcdaniel was the legislative
candidate of the Radicals two years ago,
and was elected by the vote of that party
in November. Mr.. Grigsby, the other Rad
ical delegate, seemed to have higher idea
OF propriety, and kept out Of the caucus.
But his colleagues, with no better right
than he had, had the ctlrontery to 60 into
the caucus, and avaled themselves of the
opportunity 10 vote with the men who are
diSorganiZin@ the Conservative party. 1t
is no wonder that General Anderson was
indignant at this proceeding. Lychb,uy'

The Canal.

The House of Delegates yesterday put the
bill for the employment Of convicts upon
the repairs OF the canal in state OF for
wardnes>. This is well. ii the canal is to
be rcpaired it is important that there should
he no unnecessary delay about it. Rich
mond Is certainly sufferer BY the suspen-
sion OF navigation, and must continue to
be as long as she James-Riyer valley is de-
prived of highway OF transportation. Ii
the canal is to be made navigable it should
be made so as soon as possible; so there
should be reliable estimate OF the damages
sustained, and the question as to whether
the repairs shall be made settled promptly
BY both State and city.
But should the repairs be made, we again
saw they cannot be made with view to
permanency. The canal will not answer
for either Virginia or Richmond. 1t can
not be thought OF in the light OF perma
nenee except it were made safe from floods
and deepened and widened so as to admit
the employment OF steam-tugs for towing
We have no idea that the State will attemp
ANYTHING like this. and the railroad mus
succeed to the canal. The time is critica
and admits OF no delay.

will hayefree course, and show such an array
OF names for the new year as will put gladness
in our heart and strength in our hand.
Good Wishes are by no means unacceptable
to us, but they must season the deed, which
is, that all who love us will add to their own
several orders the names OF at least four
others. 1t is astonishing what handsome
thing such an aggregation will be and how
1t will inspire us to work our very finger.
