We refrained from expressing our

done, however, we are going to be-

prominent causes and its appropri-

favorable to to such an effort as now
when the general attention is ex-

TIE SINKING FUND


ing Fund, reads as follows:
WHEREAS, The city of Clarsllvine has ma
turing, in the years lSS3-4-5, lit should read
in lsS5-6-7 bonds to the amount of one hun
bred thousand dollars; and,
WHEREAS, No provision has been made
for the payment of the same and it being
imperative that the same he done.
SECTION l. Therefore b. it ordained. That
Sinking Fund and also sinking Fund
Commission are hereby created that ~ one
mill of the five 10 levied for railroad pur-
poses shall constitute the former; that the
Mayor, Finance Committee and Treasurer
er-0BiciO shall constitute the latter; that this
sinking Fund Commission shall keep this
fund inViolate, to be used only in the pur-
chase of city bonds.
Section second requires the bonds,
when purchased, to be brought be-
fore the Board and destroyed.
Section third provides that the
fund shall besubject to the check of
the Sinking Fund Commission only.
1t seems clear, from the preamble
of this ordinance, that the Sinking
Fund can only be used for retiring
the one hundred thousand dollars of
bonds maturing in the years 1885,
60, yet, within the past year or two,
out of the sum of 81 49, 96used from
the Sinking Fund, only $500 of that
amount was paid towards pur-
chasing this class of bonds. Part of
the Sinking Fund was appropriated
to redeem Fire Engine bonds, and q
portion used in buying up bonds
issued by the retiring Board. Your
committee would, therefore, suggest
that the first section of this Ordi-
nance be so amended as to read /:
"That the Sinking Fund Commits
sion shall keep this fund inviolate,
to be used only in the purchase of
city bonds alluded TO IN the preamble
Of this ordinance, or bonds issued to

INTERFERING DISCUSSION ON THE BILL TO
COMPENSATE WILLIAM AND MARY COL

STRETCHES.
WAsHEGToS, April IL The bill to
compensate the College OF William and
Mary, In Virginia, for the wantOn de-
struction OF its buildings by some Fed
ersi soldiers while In Federal occups-
lion during the war, came up to-day
and gave rise 10 quite an interesting
and exciting debate. The debate was
opened by Goode, of Virginia, who
had reported the bill. and who advocs.
ted il in an able epeecb, which was 90.
CaslOuslly interrupted by applause.
He was followed by LoriDg, Of Mas
sSchuselts, in a very learned and elo-
quent speech in advocacy Of the bill, in
which he depicted the establishment,
growth and national Importance Of
American Colleges and Universlties,
and dwelt upon the historical fame and
renoWn of the College of William and
Mary. He said that IL Harvard had
suffered in like manner he would
appeal to Congress not on the ground
OF legal claim, but on the ground
OF historical associations for compensa.
lion, and that what he would do for
hls own alma mater he would 40 free
ly do for the College where Washing
ton and Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe had had their minds trained to the
service Of their country. His speech,
like that Of Mr.. GoOde, was highly ap.
plauded.
Then followed Reid, Of Maine, in op.
position. He characterized 1t as being
the most dangerous and the most i'm.
portant bill in its consequences of any
pending before Congress. Its passage
would be a precedent for q food Of
war claims that would sWamp the
Treasury. No Government had ever
been 90 idiotic IS 10 act on the princl.
pie Of the bill, which would make sue.
cess In war more fatal than defeat.
Then Townsend, Of New York, took
the floor and delivered q speech COM
bined In about equal parts of bitter.
ness and drollery. He spoke of Vir.
| $3.50 - A9NAAB HA0AAgA III An0 kuJu
ahead Of all the States, and being now
reduced to the position of backing up
lts little one-horse cart to the rest OF the
world, and asking for q little share of
prosperity. II Virginia would build
cotton mills he would vote q tariff 10
support her industry, and If she would
build ship be would vote q subsidy
for that ship, but Virginia had been
educated in the Assembly catechism
which taught that the chief aim OF life
was 70 promote Democratic harmony.
He spoke as to this College teaching
and encouraging secession, and illus.
trated the pending bill by an anecdote
Of au excited Frenchman rushing at q
man 10 the streets of London with
red-hot poker, and when he was kicked
of, saying, "Ah, Monsieur, you will not
let me do thai, but surely you will not
be so unjust as TO refuse paying for the
heating OF the poker" This speech
was greeted with shouts OF laughter,
and closed the discussion for the day.
No action was taken on the bill, which
will come up again next Friday.

Gen. Chalmers's Great POpu-
nmFfny.

No one OF that time expected that
Gen. Chalmers or any other Democrat
could, by any possibility, be bulldozed
intO the position Of Representative from
the "shOs String District. Jackson
Times.
What nonsense. The Times means
that as there are twelve or fifteen
thousand more colOred voters 10 the
Sixth District than white voters, it can
not possibly 60 Democratic. This sort
of talk is founded on nothing better
than the wishes of the old Southern
Radicals. They wish ell the negroes IA
vote the Radical ticket, and they have
until within the few last years claimed
all Of the colored votes ss their OWE
property. In the South, the usual way
OF estimating political results was ia
figure the number Of black voters, and
add 8 few whites. But this has al
been changed. The whites being thC
more intelligent race, and having near
~ all the wealth, Influenced the ne
grOes to divide, and in the last elec
lions enough OF them went with thl
Democrats TO carry the South. Gen
Chalmers is very popular with the col
ored people in this District, and he CO.
turn out every day and get nearly
many Of their votes as any Republica
in Il. He was elected by . handsom
majority, and there is very little doul
that this majority will be increase
next Fall. He has made himself 8
useful to both races, that we predict b
will have q walk-Over.
