An Old Mans Views.

A citizen Of Prince George county who is
over seventy years OF age has sent US the
following letter for publication. Ii reads
in some parts Of it as il he might be ridi-
culing the Readj usters; but taking itall to-
gesher. we Judge that lie is in earnest. The
second reason which he assigns for repu-
dating The State debt is not very good
one, but is calculated to make some people
think. The other reasons seem to be en-
titled to still less consideration. We will
notice them only so far as to say that If the
United States Government has become re-
sponsible for our State debt because it has
conquered us it has in the same way ac-
a,1ired the right to tax us to raise the money
to pay that debt. The two things always
go together. However, we allow our OLD
friend to have bis say:
For the Dispatch.I

Will, unusual ditiidence, Mr. BoHANSoN,
Of Matthews, said he arose to claim the atten-
tion OF the House, and in doing so he confess
sed he had not been able TO giyevery much
thought and time to the consideration OF
this question. In the beginning, following
the example of gentlemen on fields OF more
serious conflict, he rendered to the gentle
man from Shenandoah (tbe SPEAKER) most
respectful salute, but claimed the right,
without personal or party animosity, to re-
view and comment upon his remarks as the
! discussion seemed to require.
Mr.. BoHANNoN said il the doctrine adj
yanced was the forerunner of the gospel to
come. God save the Commonwealth from
the evangelist. He was not here as the
representative OF the bondholders or as the
CHAMPION Of any party, but to speak for the
neoDle, and to arrest, il possible, any harm
to fine public honor. Let that sentiment be
ridiculed as much as gentlemen please but
il should ever find an abiding-place with
him. Once stained, he contended that the
nublic honor could never be cleared. We
should SO act as to feel this sentimental
sense of. honor, il you choose to call it SO,
and at the same time move on to practical
settlement OF the questions involved.
AT 2:10 Mr.. B0HASNoN gave way to mo-
fion to adjourn.

THE SUICIDE YEsTERDAY.-The verdict of the
coroner'S jury in the case Of the suicide at the
college mentioned in yesterdays SFAR,was that
the said Mathew Leclair came to his death at
the Georgetown College by reason OF injuries
received in jumping from the college building
with intent TO destroy his life. The act had I'M
doubtedly been prelneditated some hours, at
least, for On the picture Of his mother he
placed the night before the words: ITO morrow
night I'll be with YOU" and also wrote i'll
memorandum book: There will be one class
OF people who will rejoice at my death-the res
taurant keepers-for they will have at least no
longer to trust me-"
