We should think it was lot Il very plea SAINT
reflection for that class OF NOISY politicians,
who, cliin,ng for themselves all the ''hon-
or'' in tie State, denounced those who pro-
claimed for readjustment of the Public
Debt, when the entire Legislature now
stands upon REIMBURSEMENT platform. The
injury inflicted upon the State in the esti-
nation of well nearing men away from
home, BY the c!amor about Reputation. is
justly chargeable to the professional dema-
goyr,es in Virginia and their deluted follow
ers, who sought to and did arouse prejudice
against the original readinslers By lnfoanded
charges of reputation. The ''lionor'' men
sustain pc icy that could lead 70 nothing
else but reputation, while the rcadjust-
ers favor settlement that will preserve the
credit of the State and the interest OF the
creditors. All recognize this, except a few
superficial coXeombs and leather-heads who
are incapable Of graphing with any grave
question and hold extreme dognlatie views
which require no effort Of the mind to elah
crate Or defend. They cry 'shonor !" hon

they are talking about and cannot give an
Intelligent reason for the belief they pros

Tea and Coffee and Incomes.

General B. +. Butler is one OF the clear
est headed men in America. While there
are occasional vagaries in his political cnun-
Citations, yet there is something in what he
has to say that looks to and takes in the
interests OF the people, and against the
privileged and favored few. In his recent
speech at Mildlcsex, Massachusetts. lie OK
pressed himself as opposed to the tax on tea
and coffee, and, ii necessary for the pur-
pose of revenue, to return to 4 tax on in
comes. We agree with him thoroughly
The abolition Of the income fax was an i'm
position upon the debtor portion Of the
country. 1t transferred the burdens OF gov
eminent from capital to labor. and relieved
where ii was rot necessary to relieve, and
oppressed where it was snerous to 10 So
1t is not generally known that the nine cred.
itor States Of the Union, viz tile six New
England. and New York. Pennsylvania
ard New Jersey, were relieved Of about
$50, 900, 900 of tax by the repeal of the in
come tax law, while the nine debtor States
viz: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee
Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois,, Iowa. Wiscon
sin and Michigan were only relieved Of abou
$3,000,0 900 of tax. The result of this legis
lation was to take from capital its Just pro
portion Of taxation and place it upon pro
Northumberland and wlisky-which repre-
sent The labor or producing element OF the
country. 1t was legislation to favor thu

Tennessee.

The second extra session of the Legsla-
ture of Tennessee, called for the purpose Of
considering and settling the State debtques-
ton. has adjourned. without eflecting any
result. The Senate had passed bill accept
ing proposition to issue a new bond for so
cents in the dollar, bearing per cent. inter-
est for five years;5 per cent. for five years,
and 6 per cent. until paid. The other part
OF the body did not agree to the proposition,
and the Legislature adjourned sine die. The
low tax members insis. ed on per cent. in.
terest on bond for 40 cents in the dollar of
the de5t, with the war interest excluded.
The result is not receiving much approval
from the people. The debt Of Tennessee
was not contracted by a carpet bag govern
ment. 1t represents value received, and as
the creditors had offered to take so cents in
the dollar with q reduction of the rate Of in
terest, the proposition ought to have been
promptly accepted. The Republicans in the
Legislature voted for the proposition. The
political agitators. who desire to make the
debt question an issue in the election OF the
next Legislature, defeated the offer of the
creditors. The probabilities are that the Re-
publcans and those Democrats opposed to
reputation will be successful in the next
contest, and the holders OF the State bonds
be dealt with honestly aad fairly.
The chronic 'lemagogues OF the Legisla-
ture. who present themselves as the reflex
of all that is decent and honorable in Vir.
ginia. are indisposcd to fraterrize with the
independents Had they made that issue
in the recent election, Holiday would have
been defeated by $4,000 majority They
begin to realize that the caucus, which has
heretofore upheld them, is doomed, and
that with it they must reach their proper
level. There is nothing in them to COM
mana the confidence of the people, and it
has been solely their adeptncss in manipu-
lating the Caucus machinery that has given
them political existence. It is source of
cong -atulation to every true friend Of Vir-
ginia. that these miserable trading politi-
clans and we'll trained trcksters, will hive
to retire. The people have no use for them.
They have been pest to the State, and in
.f1cted upon her the endorsements and
wrongs she Is now weighted down with.
Their clamor abou: the ''honor' of Virginia,
was their last resort. They have been corr
PEELED to acknowledge that the genu-
inc welfare. of Virginia was the moving in
spiration of the Readjusters, and are now
seeking to take the lead i'll propositions OF
reimbursement, which before they denounced
as ''repudation.' There is not paper
in the State that will urge taX.bill to meet
the requirements of the Funding BILL
There is not one of tie incorrigible DEM
agogues who brawled out population
against the people during the recent cam.
'paign who will have the alldacity TO mouth
It in the Legislature. They are all for re-
adjustment, and before the close OF the ses-
sion they will oq,-Ilerod IIerod in their
demonstrations to champion the cause of
the people they so recently slandered as
fayoring II pudiation.'

England Ready for War

Especial Dispatch by Cable to New York Times.l
LONDON. Dec. 29.-The war party in this
country is momentarly increasing in intlu-
eEce and in numbers. The Russophiles are
constantly using their efforts towards the
organization of Liberal associations, and are
quite active in passing resolutions in favor
| OF peace; but the arrogance OF Russia to.
wards the suffering Turks and the extreme
GOODNESS displayed by Germany is extremely
eNasperating to the majority OF English
men. The result is a determined increase
OF the war party, and the general expecta-
ton at this time is that we will be brought
into war with Russia early in tie coming
spring. Eighty thousand native troops and
10000 English regulars have already been
ordered to be in readiness to march at short
notice from India for Egypt aud Turkey. 1t
is believed that $4,000 British troops at Ba-
toum. in alliance with the Turks, with mon
ey and arms to distribute. would raise a
storm which would drive the Russians out
OF the Trans Caucasus as well as out of Ar
menia. 1t is known that for some time great
| have been aceumulating at Malta, from
which point could be easily drawn the sup
Plies needed for the support OF an English
army at Constantinople, or i fleet sent to
bar the DardanelIcs against Russian ships of
war.
The recent appeal OF The Porte to the
great powers under the treaty of Paris hav-
ing failed because Of the fact that Russa's
demands turned out to be ola nature which
Turkey thought best to reject, the Sultan
has now asked England to act as mediator
from the first part OF our people have re-
vlled the Turks, and another have invegt-
ed against the Russians, our Government
has not committed itself by hostile words or
acts against either, and it was thought at
the Turkish capital that terms OF medi-
tation proposed by England would be &C.
ceptable 10 Russia. Accordingly a note was
sent to the Gar a short time since, couched
in firm bat respectful tones, but as vet no
reply has been received to that important
document. Ia the meantime certain we'll
defined British interests which have been
touched upon by the war will be declared by
the Queen in her speech at the opening of
Parliament. She will explain the situation
as clearly as possible, and, an II timatllm be-
ing necessary, Lord Beaconsfieltl will ask
the sanction of Parliament to deal with the
subject as the Ministry may think consis-
tent with the safety and honor OF the coun-
try. 1t is believed here that very large
majority will vote with him in this view of
the case. Meanwhile the opposition make
considerable noise, but they really possess
but little power. Theirs are but mere par
ty moves, but little good will come to them
pending the settlement of this Eastern ques-
ton. AS for England's strength, if she is
forced into war, she is in q position to
protect her interests and to insist on peace

AMERICAN AND RJ1ssIAN Y

AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN Wheat
Some time ago our farmers and grain hold
ers were warned against the sweeping con-
illusions which terminated report OF the
U. S. Consul General at Odessa That in
teresting and useful document explained
how the wheat crop in Southern Russia had
not suffered from the military CONSUMPTION,
which took off so many labcrers from the
grain fields, because there had heen
a very liberal use OF agricultural
machines, mostly of American make. The
consul ended by warning our farmers that
thew should bear in mind the real condition
Of the Russian market before holding or
disposing Of their gram. 1t was demonstra-
ted by political, geographical and meteoro-
logical proofs that it mattered little that Rus
STA should have a largo crop ON hand, so
long as blockade and winter prevented that
crop from reaching the markets where it was
needed. This view is entirely confirmed by
the reports from Russia, sent by American
business mon, stating that 1.-THE largest crop
OF wheat ever raised in Southern Russia and
Bulgaria is rotting in the bins for need of
transportation This grain cannot find its
usual outlet from the Black Sea. and it can
not be transported in carloads to the Baltic
sea-ports on account OF the bad condition oA
the wagon roads in winter.-N. 7. Com. N

The Inaugural.


We publish so much of Gov. Holiday In.
augural address as relates to the Public
Debt question. It is pregnant of high
sounding words and fiorid sentences, -"ful
OF sound and fury signifying nothing" II
we were to interpret what he so pompously
and grandiloquently announces in the sad
Dress by the letter defining his views be
fore his nomination. we do not suppose
there are many In the State who will diffel
with him, when the froth is evaporated and
sle substance reached He then said that
the people Of Virginia, representing the
landed or realty interest, were taxed as
high rs they could bear. He further accept
ed the nomination with the platform adopt
ed by the Convention which nominated him,
in which it was declared as the sense Of the
Conservative party of Virginia that the ex-
penses OF government, including the inter-
est on the public debt, must be brought
within the capacity of the revenues derived
from the present rate Of taxation to pay. If
these distant declarations are to be regarded
as the key to the meaning of the verbose
and obscure generalities which constitute
the sum OF his remarks at Richmond on
New Years day. it would have been more
creditable for him to have omitted numer-
Gus expressions of ilonbt full import, such as
betraying of ''trnst'' and selling of honor"
It must be remembered that Gov. Holli-
day was elected without any issue as to him.
He is a Governor Of suferance. Popular
sentiment is voiced in the Legislature that
confrents him, and it will be the duty of
those coming fresh from the people and re-
fiecting their wishes to learn from the cccu-
pant of the Executive Chair. what precisely
he was trying to say, aud the exact mean
ing to be attached to his flow Of words He
will find that practical men, representing Il
practical people will want something more
than sophomorical rhapsody, and that he
will be required to define his position in
some more rational mode than the gushing
periods which distinguished his effort on
the occasion of his Inauguration
Ii it was the intention of Gov. Holiday to
convey any line OF public action in conflict
with that announced in the platform of his
party, demanding an adjustment of the pub
lie debt so as to conform to the recognized
ability OF the people as represented in the
present rate OF taxation, he may expect to
encounter the opposition of three fourtlis of
che taxpayers and voters of the State. Ii
thts was net his intention then he has un |
and causelessly insinuatcd an
sapntatieR upon the honest purposes OF the
Legislature and the people who elected it.
The strained language he uses was either
designed for soand and fury, Or it foresaa-
lows policy that be would not have dared
have proclaimed to the people before the
ctio@, Without az explanation. and Il
cit enancialion Of his views, an
he az once erystaiized that
that the people are the

There is no counting tho loss which its
discussion and unsettled condition has in
llicted on our State. It has driven wealth
and industry from our borders. 1t has Gre
ated false views of our liabilities and re-
sources. But, worse than all else, it has
lowered the grade Of public morals and con-
iurel up spectres, from which are stretch
ing the frghtful fingers of communism
Goc Holidays Address.
If Governor Holiday WASH TIA temperance
man there might be some apology for this
blood freezing apparltion. As it is, he casts
an imputation on the name Of his State,
offers gratuitous insult to the people of
Virginia, and asserts rs fact condition of
affairs which exits only in the most diseased
Imagination. AID for what He has no idea
himself that there are any cpmmunistic ten
dcncics in Virginia but, for the pitiful pur-
pose of rounding out a period and filing
ont the measure Of cheap gush, lie chooses
to strike scverer blow at the credit of the
State than all the discussions of the cam
paiyn could have inflicted.

The Taminany Ring has weakened very
much OF late in its grip upon the New Yorl
city government, hut it has still eontrived
to master the Excise board. The successors
of Tweed made Mr.. Owen Murphy the
Treasurer of the Board, and he has Just con.
firmed their confidence in him by running
away with forty or fifty thousand dollars Of
the public funds. There is, however, still
n suspicion that Tammany proposes TO die
tate the next Democratic nomination for the
Presidency.
