A SUGGESTION.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. March 8, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: Please excuse me for
suggesting that probably the wlsest and
most meritorious thing the present Legisa-
ture can do is to pass a bill making 1t a fell
ony for any man or woman to hold bond,
either public or private, punishable by con-
finement in the penitentiary not less than
five nor more than twenty years-the seye-
ritv of the sentence to depend upon the
amount of the bond or bonds held.
why should "blodted bondholderS " have
any rights which an honest man is bound
10 respect? II the Legislature will only
pass the bill suggested (Which Governor
Holiday will sign as u matter OF course), l
think the members could safely go home
and rest upon their honors so gloriously
won. Yours, &c., THOMAS WOOD.

The Convention.

,rhe convention bill, which originated IN
,bs House OF Delegates and was passed by
fhat body, was yesterday defeated 10 the
Senate bya vote OF s 10 81. This put the
measure beyond the hand OF resurrection.
II was a clear case OF Z. ca.awampus.
The proposition was one from the ultrs
rea,,;ns,crs. It was gotten up with the
most revolutionary purposes, as was avo"ea
BY one Of their speakers. According 70
that there was an intention to tear up things
and bring upon the State aconfasion ana
alarm that would PROSTATE public ana pri-
yate interests and keep back the State for
years. Not only the public credit Wouia
be the object OF attack, but the audi-
ciary was to be reformed and brought
under the control OF politicians. The
good men who guard the justice ano
virtue OF the Commonwealth would,
IL the adjusters' crusade were successful,
give place to party hacks and otfice-hunters,
who would make MI tribunals and oil inter
esfs in the State subordinate to party
schemes for personal ambition. The pub
lie creditor was to be exposed by the re-
neal OF the clause that makes taxation do
Ualorem and uniform, which would give
the Legislature power to impose discriml'
mating taxes, and thus, to use readlusterS
language, they might tax Virginia bonds ou'
OF existence. Such revolutionary objects
we cannot believe could be carried by even
the convention upon which they seemed to
RELY for their accomplishment. But is most
fortunate that the plan is squelched.
When men stoopt to questionable means
to avoid solemn obligations and the claims
o. justice they begin concessions from VIZ
tue; they begin dalliance with vice ano
a compromise OF self-reSpect which i'll time
makes the greatest inroads upon COZ
science and the noble virtues OF pride ant
public devotion. 1t is painful TO see no"
some of the most estimable gentlemen have
in this way in time come to do things thai
a few wears ago nothing could have tempted
them to acquiesce in. The fact IS lamenta
Bile. but, alas, too true.
AS citizens Of Virginia we dep!ore more
deeply the Generalization OF the public
character from the detestable personal par
t>anry OF the day than almost anything
else that has happened in our day.
Now that the Convention has collapsed
what scheme as means to obstruct justice
and yex society will be exploited next!
There is little time now left for schem!ng
and our lawmakers will soon meet theil
constituents in their rural bailiwicks.

fEnr tho DiSnafcll-i

The distinguished author OF the following
article is on the right track:
| To the Members of the General assembly
agree with GA TAXPAYER" that
the best thing the Legislature can dc
IN tie present emergency is to vote q
small increase Of taxes. 1t seems to me
that under the circumstances there is not
only constitutional obligation on the LIE.
gislature, but care which appeals strongly
to the patriotic impulses OF the members to
| vote for such 4 measure. But we are told
| that upon test question there were only
four members Of the House who voted in
favor Of an increase OF taxes. Now, it is
unquestiona5lv true that many members
voted against the increase Of taxes because at
that time they hoped it would be unneces-
sary. They were then earnestly engaged in
an honest effort to institute proceedings for a
reimbursement Of the debt with the creditor
on terms that would be Just to the creditor
and honorable to the State, so as not to re-
ouire an increase of the rate OF taxation.
| Whilst they were endeayoring to bring that
about there would have been no propriety
in voting for an increase OF taxes. But the
case is now changed They have been
| bai1led in all their earnest and IN wearied
efforts to institute proceedings to that end.
And the question is now: A small increase
OF taxes, OF inability to carry on the gov
eminent, to pay the interest due the credi-
tors OF the State. and to sustain the public
schools-in other words, small increase Of
taxes, or violation of the public faith,
and the destruction OF private and public
credit. For when public credit is gone
private credit will 90 with it. Is there not
faithfuness and patriotism in the General
Assembly OF Virginia to levy few addi"
tional cents OH one hundred dollars worth
of property to Save the State from disgrace
and ruin? Let bill be prepared and offer
ed. 1t will require only few lines, ana
ought not to require two hours to pass IT,
And the honor and credit OF the State are
saved, the wheels of government will move
on smoothly, and every interest will be re-
yiyed. Let the issue be made in both
houses. II it is lost, let those who assume
the responsibility to oppose it answer to
their country and their constituency. Fear
not to make the issue before the people.
Ylrginians are not willing that the proud
name Of their mother shall be furnished
and every interest, public and private, sac
riflced for the sake OF a few cents in the
one hundred dollars. Men who have sacrl-
ticed so mnch for their beloved State will
never consent that this injury should be
put upon her. And they who inflictit will
be held to strict accountability. But
whether you can succeed or not, you owe it
to yourselves to bring forward such bill,
and press its adoption, to place yourselves
right before the country. SO that we shall
no longer have to encounter the taunt and
reproach that only four members Of the
House. of Delegates were willing to vote an
increase OF taxes, even to save the Com
monwealth. SENEx.
