The author states that the main object OF

public with acondenscd view Of the history,
methods, and results of astronomical re-
search, especially in those fields which are OF
most popular and philosophic interest at the
present day, eouched in such language rs to

We copied the other day from the South-
ern Caurchmaa the statement, credited to
the Independent, that the Rev. S. Fl. TOY,
Professor in the Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary, had said it was as good as
settled that Deuteronomy was not one Of
the books Of MOSES. The British Quarterly
Reufeo for January confirms this statement.
This Rsuieso, which is orthodox, says:
I" How or by whom the double or triple
documents OF the Pentateuch were welded
into unity has been subject Of inquiry
from the time of the French physician
Astruc, 1853, to the present time, but how
ever much critics differ as. to this, al must
agree that in Deuteronomy we have dif-
erent and younger narrator"

Equality Of Burdens.

The State is heavily burdened with a debt
for money which she borrowed. and by the
expenditure of which her citizens have
been greatly benefited. To pay the debt
they hold property valued ut more than
$500, 100000, consisting OF lands and per-
sonal property, including portion OF State
bonds. In their deep distress they are all
unable to pay more than one half OF one
per cent, on their taxable property, except
the "bloated bondholders," and it Is DEEM
ed equitable, in order to save the State from
bankruptcy, to tax their claims to the
amount OF fifty or at least thirty-three and
one third per cent. Is this Virginia equity !?

E Whereas the fatal disease OF CHAMBERS is
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-02-04


be heard upon this floor upon this impor-
tant proposition.
1t was, in his opinion, 4 bald proposition
to repudiate part of the public debt OF
Virginia. He did not desire to be offensive
to any gentleman on this floor, but could
not restrain himself from giving utter
ance to his honest convictions upon this
subject. The preamble is to the bill like
the veil Of the prophet OF khorasSan,
intended to hide its hideous deformities.
1t led off by declaring that increase OF
taxation is impracticabe; that is, impossi-
ble Right thercMr. HENRY took issue with
the Finance Committee and gentlemen OF
the other side. He showed from the GEN.
sus returns that there were twcnty-eight
States of this Union which paved a greater
rate OF taxation per capita, and thirty that
sustained a heavier burden on property
than Virginia. Among these Were several
southern States which had suffered. nearly
as much as Virginia from the results Of the
war. And yet this committee would have
us certify that it is impossible for us to in
crease taxation!
The State tax is now $50 on every 100000.
Is this House prepared to say that man
owning $4,000 worth Of property cannot
pay S75 instead of $50? Nay, more; they
would have us certify that it is impossible to
raise that tax from $50 to 5000 on the
$4,000.
Mr.. HENRY voted against the resolution
so persistently offered by Mr.. HARRISON
proposing to increase taxation because he
regarded it as ineXpedent, not that it was
impracticable. He believed that with de-
cent economy under the present rate Of
taxation the interest on the debt and all
necessary expenses could be paid. And it
was his sworn duty rs we'll as his party OBJ
legation to insist upon so dispcsing OF our
revenues ms to make them meet all our re-
quirements without imposing additional
burdens upon the people.
Mr.. HENRY took up the report of the FL
nance Committee, which purports to state
our obligations and resources, to show that
it contained error after error. The first ne
pointed out was the omission to put among
the resources the amount derivabie from
the tax on State bonds.
Mr.. W. T. TALIAEERRo, the chairman OF
the subcommittee of the Finance Com
mittee which prepared that report, said that
that item had not escaped the observation
OF the committee, but could not be relied
upon as safe source OF revenue IN the
course of readjustment. For that reason
they had not felt 1t prudent to estimate it
among reliable resources.
d Mr.. HENRY made and pressed the point
that il we wereicharged with the whole in-
terest we should certainly be credited with
the tax that would come in as that interest,"
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1878-02-04

In 1906, ana tile auluOFS Oh Tue lunulHS
bill had only followed the precedent then
set.
As he understood Mr. ALLEN, it was that
gentleman's position that we owe no cred
itor any interest for the period of the war,
and that we owe no northern creditor
either principal or interest. And yet he
scorns the idea Of reputation Mr.. b.
HARMON claimed that Judge Pendleton's
decision, quoted by 3Ir. ALLEN, did not
establish the principle claimed for it.
Though full OF unbecoming passion
and prejudice, that Judge admits that
the Chief-Justice OF the United States had
decided o similar case in an opposite way.
From all the authorities he had consulted
he could not give assent to Mr. ALIENS
proposition that VIC owe no interest for the
period covered by war and reconstruction,
and neither principal nor interest to the
northern creditor. Such theory was re-
pugnant to all the laws Of nations. Even
IL right it would be impracticable. He sug-
gested to the gentleman from Shenandoah
the inapossibility of knowing how far to go
in these reprisals. How would you tell what
coupon-bonds were held In the North during
the war? How would you separate the in
nocent from the guilty.
MIR. B0HANNON commented upon the Ian
guage OF Mir. BARBoUR's bill where it reads
!" to pay the present rate OF interest on the
amount claimed as the principal Of the pub
lie debit The gentlemen, lie said, were
seemingly unwilling to commit themselves.
They didn't admit that we owe any debt,
and refused to commit themselves to any
thing; yet they pretended to scorn the idea
OF reputation.
Dir. BoHANNoN declined, because itWould
be useless, to discuss the propriety OF the
passage OF the funding bill; but whether
il was q good or bad piece OF legislation, 1t
remained with us a binding obligation.
The Supreme Court of Appeals, II partial
10 either side would have been partial TO
the act oil Assembly. Yet 1t decided that
the act repeating the funding bill was nn-
constitutional. Mr. BoHANNoS didn't want
