Well; we told you it would be

The city of Richmond has for
years paid its school tax in cou>

were divided out TO the country,
and the country's money was dr.
vided with Richmond. This sort of
seed has at last sprouted, grown,

the matter is about coming To head
anyhow, and that this school fund
question is 20 be the means whereby
our State politics will be relieved of H
perplexiEg subject.
But the following from the
STATE of the 4th Is about as cool q
thing as we have met with in the
journalism of the period.
The State now owes million dol
lars to the school fund. money Dor
rOwed from il for the current eXpens-
es and to pay the Legislature and EN-
ployees, and there is no probability
may as well put it down to profit and
loss, and think no more about the
misapprOpriRted fund, at least for
the present.
Had the money due from the State
been really needed for the purpose of
paying the interest on the debt there
would be some reason in the excuse
for using It but that was not the case.
No, not q dollar of interest has been
paid on the debt for years, except
that enforced by the self-collecting
coupons. The State has simply rob
he'd the poor children of the Common
wealth of the money. and has moth
ing to show for il.
Now the above affirms that "the
poor children" of the State have
been robbed" of a million of
dollars. Ut is really $113,052,26
more than that if DR.. Ruffner is to
believed)-that we had as well put
it down to profit and loss, and
think no more about it-that this
money was used to pay the Legis-
lature and employees, (as though
the State could live without that -
that this million of dollars was not
NEEDED TO pay the interest on the
public debt, and that not a dollar
of said interest has been paid ex-
cept that enforced by the selfIcol>
lecting coupons.
Exactly That Is where the
money was pulled through at and
it did go on the debt, and the Com
stitution was annulled in that it
said it should go only to the
schools. If it was not "needed''
ON the debt, why put it there and
keep it there, and refuse to return
it, and refuse to stop the process,
and 'sput it down to profit and loss,
and think no more about it, for
the present 2" The cause of this
argument on the part of the STATE,
is the fact that IN the City of Richs

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE TO THE vO-
TIERS OF THE THIRD VIRGINIA CON-
GRESSIONAL DISTRICT VIEWS
ON THE CURRENCY. TARIFF AND
! OTHER QUESTIONS.
| TBY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 1878.
General Joseph E Johnston was

| cy entirely to The candidate in whom,
as the greatest living representative of
the lost cause, the people have the
most abiding confidence. On the
evening of his nomination General
| Johnston left for the White Sulphur
| Springs, where hts family were, and
since then there has existed a feverish
| anxiety to know his position, particu
larly on the financial question. This
was allayed to-day in the receipt this
evening of the following letter of ac
ceptance which briefly embodies his
views on leading issues =
GENERAL JOHNsToN's LITTER.

vention of the district Immediately be-
fore its adjournment that in letter
of acceptance l expected to be called
upon to write my opinions on the
questions now interesting the public
should be freely given. l have not
been called upon for such a letter. but
have received from various parts of
the district very earnest expressions
of wishes to learn my opinions on
these questions, especially that of f.
nance. / hold that for the first of
them in importance is that of the
maintenance of the democratic party
of the United States in its Integrity,
for we of the South owe to that party
our release from the condition of con-
Quered provinces and the protection of
the constitution we now enjoy; and if
we maintain it undivided it will prob
ably acquire the control of both the
legislative end executive branches of
the government and introduce honesty
economy aud strict construction of the
constitution into the government and
restore prosperity to the country.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

banks, including the pr0bibitory tax

upon the democratic platform in this
