He is one Of the first young men ofthe

statement it's proper to repeat, and
that is that he disclaimcd any congress

He believed IN the justice Of Readjust-

this conviction he ment TO press it on

NASHVILLE, July 24.-The conyen-
ton to nominate a Democratic candi-
date for Governor assemblies here on
the 18th ofnext month, and the day
set BY the Nationals is the Doth Of the
same month.
The State Credit party has abandon
ed the field, and there is no voice in the
land to advocate a final and just settle
ment Of our financial troubles By the
next Legislature; no one who has hope
Of political prelermeat cares to advocate
the payment ofeilher interest Or prin-
cipal.
This is just the condition that Firei-
MA will be in if an equitable readjust-
ment Of her debt is much longer post
poned. To-day she is s millions more
in debt than when the funding bill pass
ed, and the towards who passed that
measure will snelther assume the re
sponsibility Of increasing taxes to stop
this increase, or come to the rescue Of
the readiusters in striking out the war
and reconstruction interest, amounting
to lG millions, which bribery compound
ed into the principal Of the debt. Let
the situation remain as tits until des-
peration or Indifference gets control Of
the people and no one will dare advo-
cate any payment. We hope the day
for this in Virginia is in the far future,
but it all depends upon the action of the
funders or the determination Of the re-
adjusters.

The Man and his Groom.

To our INFINITE disgust, MI V"ONoVn

strained to print for him. lie used the
word false as though he was again at
taching some importance to the dller-

he admitted week before last that he
had said Judge Harris told him false
hood without the absolute right to do SO,
we thought he would not rush recklessly
into any discussion involving a question
of yeracity. But between him and
Judge Harris that may be fought out. 1t
is not our funeral.
We do not know what was IN that
letter. Our information was obtained
from one Of the gentlemen named IN
Mr.. Jackson's card. We take 1t he
would not use the names OF gentlemen
who are unreliable. However, to salts
fy ourselves we asked them OF the i've
men named whether they authorized
their signatures TO that "respecllul
letter" and they answered very en-
phatically, no! We did not employ the
grape vine telegraph TO get this, but
heard it directly from the mouths oil
