ing Virginia matters. They nov send
abroad the statement that Governor
Holiday stands out for payment Of
the debt in full" This is an unGuali-
fed ialsehood. The message says
settle at per cent. There are no two
papers coming into this State more
capable Of slandering its people, or
which have wrought half as much mis-
chief to lie abroad as the Sun and
Gazette. They are democratic in fed
eral politics; were anti-kuklux cham
plons and all that, but they are chronic
defamers Of the Southern people in all
discussions OF their purely State affairs.
Our State debt would have been ad-
justed long since if meddlesone editors
had attended TO their own business.
Virginians knew how TO protect the
honor and glory Of their State when
such skunks were compromising with
war tyrany and reconstruction radical

THE CRADLE AND THE GRAVE
Our brother of the Petersburg Post
makes hit-a very decided one-in the
following paragraph in his paper:
During our civil war the Coniederat,
were charged with having to rob the
cradle, and the grave" to recruit their
armies. That was nearly the truth.
But wa are glad to observe that since
the close Of the wax, all tho Robin. Of
cradles OF living-chldrcn aud graves OF
dead men bones have been confined
exclusively to the North and West!
The kidnapping OF poor Charley Ross
and other infants, and the daring rob-
berry Of the graves of Col. Harrison. Of
Ohio. and A. L. Stewart, of New York,
presents the horriiying picture in IFS
rue cOlors. No such atroclous crimes
as either of these have been heard Of
in any portion of the South.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1878-12-11

The following IS a blief epilomc of
Of Mr.. Hays message, as prepared by
an exchange. Our space does not per-
NIT US 10 publish 1t in LAND We think
our readers will be pleased that we re-
reserve the space for ether meters Of
more interest.
The message opens with an express
ion of gratitude 10 the Divine Being for
the blessings the nation has enjoyed;
and the abundant harvest that has re-
warded the husbandman.
He alludes to the terrible scourge
which visited portions Of the South dur
ing the past summer and fall. In this
connection he recommends that Con-
gress consider the question OF ma
tienel quarantine, aud a commission to
supervise internal commerce in time 81
epldemics.
He raises the cry Of solid South"
and says the cOlored people have been
deprived of their rights by fair means
and foul. He threatens all who have
been mlsbehaving towards the colored
people in the South with vigorous pros
eeution.
''He says no means within his power
shall be spared to obtain q full and fair
investigation of the alleged crimes, and
to secure the conviction end just punish
ment of the guilty"
He quotes from the report ofthe Sec
rotary Of the Treasury the following
facts: The ordinary revenue from all
sources for the fiscal year ended June
so, 1877, was s257,763,SlS.70; the ordl
nary expenditures for the same period
were 1886, 964, 500 so; leaving surplus
revenue of $40, 100, $500.
The amount of public debt, less cash
in the Treasury, November l, 1873, was
s2.O24, 25O, US3.ls, a reduction since last
November of 23,l50.6l7.39.
The coinage Of gold during the last
fiscal year was s52,79S,90S. The
coinage of silver dollars, under the act
passed February %, 1873, amounted on
2srd of November 1873, to sl9,Sl4,550.
of which s4,9S4,947 are in circulation.
and the balance is stil in possession OF
the government.
The President deprecates any inter
ference with the present financial policy
Of the government.
The other points IN the message are
ofminOr. import, and allude to some
details in regard to the army, navy,and
other departments Of the government.
and to District Of Columbia.

TIE Alexandra Gazette says all the
large tax payers are in favor of the fund
ing billand all opposition comes from
those who pay little.
Just so. Those who count their pro-
perry by tens Of thousands pay their
taxes in coupons at % per cent less
than the average Of taxpayers. Out of
the burdensome sum collected in this
county. tbs year, onl about $4,000, is
paid in coupons. This $4,000, was paid
with about $4,000. II is not to be
wondered at that those who paid in this
currency love its advantages. They
love the funding bill simply because the
funding bill lets them of better than
their neighbors who cannot traffick IN
coupons, because the treasurer win
give no change on large ones, aud moth
ing ofconsequence is saved by purchas.
ing small ones from the curbstone
brokers who must haYe a percentage.
