.ba .n,ovisiops IS finally adopted, and

the provisions as finally adopted, aou
are now found in the constitution IN reis-
ton to this subject the following Is an
additional section to the article on TAX
alton and Finance: "Ah equitable pro-
portion of the public debt OF the Com
monwealth of Virginia, prior to the nrst
dsy of January, in the year one thonssnd
eight hundred and sixty, shall be assumed
by this State; and the Legislature shall
ascertain the same IS soon as may De
practicable, and provide for the payment
thereof" This provision was inserted IN
the Consultation Of 1858, under when tne
State was admitted. On this motion the
AYES and noes were demanded, and ~
votes recorded iu the affirmative and 40
iu the negative. They are as follows;

Now as to the residue OF sc. Ii. III s."
communication it requires little or no
notice. No part of Senator Wlileys re-
marks, as first above quoted, can be tor
tured into an expression or intimation as
to the quantum of Indebtedness due from
West Virginia to Virginia, if indeed
there be any upon equitable settlement.
1t might be Inferred, perhaps, that he
was fearful that, the tsint OF dlshonor IN
thought. if not in fact, had found iodg-
ment IN some minds. When the provl-
sion in the Constitution OF 1868, which
he endesvored TO have engratted into the
organic law OF 1872, was so largely
defeated by representative men, and
subsequent adjustment was left to the
rivslries OF partizsnship and the dawning
hopes Of ambitious legislators.
But inasmuch as to follow the gener-
al tone of the correspondent, aside from
the matter affecting the personal integrl.
ty of Senator Wiley, would lead to
discussion of the policy of the State in
more regards than one, sni might deve!-
ope great deal of acrlmony, which
would be unpleasant, and Is not in the
purpose of the undersigned, he there
fore begs your indulgence for this lengthy
and will close with a
gentle hint to correspondents, and Others
of the stamp OF "G. Ii. NJ" that there is
no hosanzs in the agitation OF this queS.
tion, from his stand point. NINDEN.

Political Skirmish In the House
-Pleasant Contrast TO the
Daily Dullness.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY lS.
SENATE.

Mr.. Hamlin, from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, reported adversely on
the petition of certain citizens Of New
York asking an appropriation from the
Chinese indemnity fund TO aid persons
in certain provinces Of China now suffer-
ing on account of the famine. He said
that the committee was unanimously of
the opinion that it was utterly impossi.
bic to get any relief to the sufferers, and
besides, any attempt to devote the
Chinese indemnity fund 10 that purpose
would lead TO discussion.
Mr.. Sargent reported with amen d.
ments, the Senate bill to authorize and
equip an expedition to the Arctic sess,
known as the Howgate bill. Placed on
the calendar.
Mr.. ingalls, introduced bill TO pro.
mote the deposit of savings in q popular
loan and to provide for the funding
of the national debt into home bonds
convertible into currency. Referred to
the Committee on Finsnce.
Mr.. Morrill, OF Vermont, called up
House joint resolution declaring that
the reduction of tax on distilled spirits IS
Inexpedient, which was discussed till the
expiration of the morning hour and then
laid aside, and the Senate resumed con-
slceration of the silver bill.
Mr.. Merrimon spoke in favor thereof.
Mr.. Merrimon pursued in the main the
same line Of argument as in his speech
some days ago.
Mr.. Saunders supported the bill, and
said he was opposed to all amendments,
and would vote for it just as it came
from the House. The cry about this
country being overburdened with silver
in case the bill should pass was nothing
bat scsrecrow. If ell the mints in the
United States should be put to
work on Sunday and at night till next
session OF Congress they could not coin
more than one dollar for each person in
the country. Ii was the tinkering at our
finances that created distrust among the
people. If it could be announced to-day
that the silver bill had passed it would
carry more JOY to the hearts Of the peo-
pie than was experienced when it was
announced that Abraham Lincoln had
struck the chains from four millions of
people. Congress could not legisste
money into the pockets of the people, but
it could SO legislste as to encourage our
Industries.
Mr.. Allison, in charge of the silver bill,
asked that it be understood by unanimous
consent that Friday next the Senate
would continue IN session until the bill
and sll the amendments should be dis
posed of.
After debate it was understood by
unanimous consent that q vote should
be taken Friday next.
Mr.. Sargent opposed the bill as tend
ing to stain our national honor by re.
publishing sacred obligations.
Mr.. Jones, OF Nevada, then took the
floor with the understanding that he
would proceed with his remarks to-mor-
row. Adjourned.

A Thrilling Story.

The petition of Eliza Shelton and other
widows of Tennessee, now being considered
by the Senate committee on military affairs,
reveals an interesting and shocking episode
of the war. It seems that number Of men
at the outbreak of the war enlisted in Ten
nessee in the United States army. Lines
were drawn so closely, however, that the re-
cruits could not reach the army. They
settled colony of them at Laurel, North
Carolina There they aided all Union refu-
gees, helped escaping prisoners and deied
the confederacy. After various unsuccess.
full attempts to break them up, confederate
troops were sent to aurelwth orders to kill
old and young, and they did it, remarking
allegorically over the latter that "pigs will
make hogs" These widows having lost every
thng-husbands, children, homes-have for
years uusuccessfuly been asking to be put on
the pension list. This is a part of their story
"Your petitioners husbands. and those Oper-
ating with them, being few in numbers, and sur
rounded by the confederate forces, could not long
resist such overwhelming numbers, and with five
small boys were captured, and ~ soon as cap
tured were tied two and two together-in one
case, father with his son only eleven years old
and in this condition were led out, two at a
time, and brutay murdered in the presence OF
your petitioners, who were all the time imploring
for mercy for their children and husbands For
thus mporing for mercy your petitioners were
tied up by their thumbs to trees and saplings,
and numerically whipped and inSulted by con
federate soldiers. To make it more heartrendng
to us, while the blood was running down our
backs, our husbands and sons dying within few
feet of us, and our houses wrapped in flames he
hind us, we were unable to assist our beloved ones
in their dying moments to a cup Of cold water"

A Novel Proposition.

That James Gordon Bennett is given to
genuine sensations has long been well un-
derstood. His latest takes the form of a
memorial, presented in Congress last week
by Senator Conkling, wherein he states that
he has purchased the steamship Pandora,
and proposes to fit her out and man her at
his own expense, to prosecute and if pos
sible bring to successful issue the polar
explorations which have so long occupied
the attention of the scientific world" and
asks that the vessel may sail under the
United States flag and have such counte-
nance and assistance from Congress as may
seem advisable. 1t has been said that Stan
ley is TO lead this expedition, but we do not
know on what authority. He would have
the precedent of DIR. Kane, who went direct
from the tropics to within six hundred miles
frst-class man to head such an expedition
but if he is wise he will rest on the laurels
he has won and not fly to risks and dangers
he knows not of Just what practical good
would result from the planting of flag at
the north pole is not apparent to the average
mind but if James Gordon Bennett chooses
to spend some of his surplus cash in paying
the expenses of another expedition to that
land of ice, no one, certainly, has any occa
sion to object. That he is in earnest in the
matter is proved by the memorial; and We
may be certain that if Bennett has the mat
ter in charge he will have leader after hi,
own heart, whoever it may be- aud that the
pole will be reached if it is in the power OF
man to do it.
