-sTAUNT0N SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADV

The Alexandria Gazette says Truly
are the winds tempered to the shern
lambs, for if work be scarce and money
scarcer, provisions are cheap, and grow
ing cheaper. The crop of cereals al
ready gathered was one of the best ever
raised in the State; of vegetables and
fruits there is profusion the pasturage
is as good as ever was known, and the
rains of the last and the present month
have insured the most prolific corn crop
that ever gladdened the hearts of Viz
corn is hard to find, and the only ques-
ton about the yield is the probable I'M
exampled extent to which it will reach.
A good corn crop insures cheap bacon
and with plenty o. meat and bread peo-
pie can manage to worry along, even If
they can't get as much work as they can
do, or if that they do get he not as prof.
table as formerly. 1t is never SO dark
as just before dawn, and so, when an
incompetent and inefficient Congress
has reduced US to dire extremity, Pr0vi-
dence stepped in and helped us, partial
ly, at least, out of our difficulties. If
now it would continue its beneficence,
and remove the scales from mems eyes,
SO that they might see more clearly the
unworthiness and unprotitableness of
many of their present national law max
ers, and thereby be induced to elect
more efficient representatives in their
stead, the affairs of the country would
soon be in prosperous condition. but
we must not ask too much at once,
and should be thankful for such favors
as have already been vouohsafed us,
trusting that time, the great cure-all
will give us even that blessing denied
us at present-better COngressmen.

1LLUSTRATION.-The Richmond .SIGte
gives the following illustration of the
effect of the reputation agitation in the
State A Virginia merchant applied at
New York the other day for credit on
bill of goods. 81 can't credit you," said
the merchant. "Why not ?" asked the
Virginian. "Well, things are uncertain
III your State on the public debt ques-
ton, SO many people seem opposed to
the payment of it, that we fear the same
sentiment will very soon prevail with
respect to private debts; and while l
know you are man of honor and to be
trusted, yet do not know what your
partner may be, or how your heirs
might be affected. A State that even
permits itself to debate the question OF
Its obligations is already half way on the
road to reputation, and the honest must
suffer for the sins of the dishonest" And
If we do not speedily stop this mis-
chievous cry of Reputation this will be
the standing reply to all who seek credit
abroad: I'VE do not doubt you, but can
not take the risk ~ ana soon Virginia
will have no credit in any of the great
trade centers, but must be prepared to
buy and sell for "ready cash.

TIE MILLER SCHOOL AND FOECIBIE
RE ADJUsTMEN1.-The Miller School
which has recently been completed for
the education of the orphan children of
Aibenarle, has more than half of its
Und invested in virginia State bonds.
The Charlottesville Chronicle saws -
"NIr. Miller, c0ntiding in the honor of
his native State, directed that in the in
vestment of the funds preference should
be given TO Virginia bands, as aflording
the very highest promise of security
Ills wishes were carried out, and it re-
lt!ains to be seen whether his confidence
vas misplaced. One thing is certain
that, if the views Of "forcible readius-
tiers" are carried out the noble charity of
Samuel Miller will be lost to the ornhap
children of Albemarle, and the magnifi
cent institution just about to be put in
operation will be robbed of its support
and must necessarily fail Of success
any REIMBURSEMENT that will reduce the
rate OF interest will iniure the Miller
School materially, and the absolute re-
pudiation OF the debt would of course be
fatal In addition to the destruction of
the Miller School, the University of Vir-
ginia would receive a terrible GiGw bv
the reputation OF the State debt: and
yet there are III II who aspire to be lead
ers of public sentiment in this county
who are urging the people to a course
with reference to the State debt which
if carried into effect, must deprive the
two great institutions, which are so
valuable to the people, of their essential
support and utterly break them down. "a

WORDS OF GOOD ADVICE,-The
Chairman of the County Committee OF
Rockbridge county, Mr.. Samuel Gold,
in few words of advice to the Con-
sentative voters of his county gives ex-
preston to the following sound views -
1.-THE Conservative party of Virginia has
represented the intelligence, the virtue
and the great material interests of the
State. In its united action the State
Government has been saved from de-
structlon. One chance only remains to
our old opponents, that is to distract and
divide our party upon issues which have
nothing to do with the election of MEM
bers of Congress, or of President. The
Republican party is rallying its forces
to elect General Grant to the Presidency
One OF its means of doing this is to car
ry the next House of Representatives.
II the Conservative party can be divided
ana distracted by temporary questions,
which do not relate to Federal politics,
they hope to carry Virginia and other
Southern States for Grant.
Why should We divide on State poll
ties in selecting a Representative for
Congress. We may exercise our judy
ment on these questions in selecting
State officers, but why should we bring
down ruin upon the grand old party,
which in Congress, under the lead of
Thurman, Bayard, and others, has stood
like stone-wall against Radical misrule
and usurpation."

the TWO Old Parties Compared.

Elk Gov. John NJ. Palmer, OF Illinois.
in letter to a Washington friend
which is published, thus compares the
tTc osa poiitica! parties -
II am persuaded that, though the
Democratic party is now apparently
cropping in the dark, without definite
aims, it will at no distant day reach solid
ground, and will again become :, COM
manding figure in American politics. I
a.ss"E.i It 20 be true that the Republican
party Only exists at present because it
has practical control of the Govern
mGnt. If 1t We're now out of power il
is not easy to imagine any good reason
why it should again be entrusted with
the management of public affairs. Like
the Democracy i has no financial creed,
though it ls not quite as badly democrat
lied. Its theories that look to the in
crease and general employment of the
army in the administration of the Gov
eminent and its apparent unwjllingness
to claim for the Federal Government all
the mowers that Congress, President, or
courts may assert for it, render it dan
gerous. In short, it seems to me that
the Republican party accomplished its
mission in 1870, and that it ought then
to have heen disbanded as the army was
in 1896. THEN I'll ats elements would
have sought their places in new, intelli-
gent combinations, and the country
would have saved the years of struggle
which have followed between two par
ties composed of discordant materials
which have had no we'll defined point
Of union but the desire to retain power
'The object ROW most 20 &c desired is
to 50 indoctrsn&te one OF the political
parties that it will be capable of con-
Quoting the affairs of the Government
upon Republican principles. The Re
publican party has, as | before said, run
its race, and it will for the next quarter
of century attempt to answer every
criticism upon its acts by appealin" to
its record during the civil war. ANA it
will always fear to yield any power for
the Federal Government which it claim
ed or exercised during the war. The
Democratic party, on the other hand, is
theoretically right now, as it was before
the war, on the most important and es-
sentIai principles of constitutional re
publican government. 1t is at present
infected with heresies and nonsense, but
it may and will, probably, rid itself of
'h"nf andit can DO so hv steady anrcals
to its own fundame entail a0c,r.mes.H

THE WoEIAN WHIPPING CASE IN
NIRGINIA.-Mr NJ. A. Haas, sheriff OF
Elizabeth City county, Va, has ad-
dressed letter to Hon. \. NJ. Kelley,
of Richmond, explaining the facts in
regard to the alleged public whipping of
a white girl in that countd recently
The sheriff states that the girl was con
victed before justice of stealing pair
of slfoes and stockings from neighbor,
and was given the option of thirty days
in jail or fifteen stripes, urging her to
acct thc former. J,''t = .'' -
mother insisted upon the whipping and
Immediate release, which was then adj
ministered by the colored constable
None of the prisoners clothing was re-
moved las has been asserted, y the pun
ishment was mildly administered, ana
was only witnessed by the constable and
sheriff. In communicating this state
ment to the Richmond Dispatch mir.
Kelley calls attention to the fact that
Elizabeth City county, the scene OF
the whipping, is the banner republican
county of the State, that the officers
concerned in the affair were republicans,
elected by republican votes, and that all
the whites participating in the affair
were Northern bred and raised.
