The East and the West.

We desire to see the western representa-
tiyes OF the State OF Virginia mindful OF the
origin of the State debt. The East had
but little hand in makingit. 1t is depiora'
bic that it did not take part in directing the
public works and voting the money to make
them. Had they done this the State would
ave saved many millions that bave been
wasted through the trickery of log-rolling,
in which combinations were formed to push
ahead improvements indeed, but by which
the treasury was depleted to crafty sectlona
and personal interests that had to be pro.
yided for by the combination. But we re-
neat that the east did. not make the debt.
The west must be charged with that
And now it has to be paid, where does
the sentiment 81 loyalty to the public credit
chiefly reside? En- the east. The west
without avowing. the purpose OF repudia-
ton, is doing that which implies great in
difference to the public obligations as well
az to the means OF sustaining them. Asa
Virginian, we deplore the fact. Asa Vir'
einian, we cannot bear to think OF the hui
initiation OF Virginia By failing to meet her
responsibilities; but We're we a western
man wewould consider that part OF the State
covered with ineffaccabie disgrace II 1t
failed to exert the greatest efforts to pay
the public debt which was contracted
mainly through lis agency. ii. 6..si ;s /

81 DR.. FRANKLIS's desire in framing the
Government was to make salaries low. He
wanted the President OF the United States
to serve for honor instead OF money. In-
deed, he desired as far as possible to substi.
t,,te honor for money: policy which a
distinguished contemporary of ours ap-
proves with evident satisfaction. How far
we have drifted away from DR.. FRANKL1N's
rigid disinterestedness! A man in poor
old Virginia, driven TO the verge Of despe-
ration, as she is, has within few years
drawn salary of $4,000 per annum, equal
to that of the President of the United States
until the pure and Virtuous tanner got to
be president. ,...f. is. ..,..lss.n

biennial Sessions.

LoUDOUN COUNTY, VA, January ), 1878.
Editors Dispatch: There is great anxiety
on the part Of the people throughout the
State to know why the constitutional amend
ment authorizing biennial sessions, and en-
dorsed by them two years ago, has not been
carried into effect. It has been, furthermore,
intimated that the present Legislature de-
signs to postpone still longer this important
measure of retrenchment so anXiously de-
sired by the citizens vi the State. Now, il
this amendment is not put into operation by
1879 it will inevitably produce conflict be-
tween the tax-Dayer and the Legislature, as
the Taxpayers are determined that this nea-
sure shall 60 into operation ut the earliest
moment and with the least possible delay;
otherwise, at the next election there will be
clean sweep OF every member OF the pre-
sent Legislature who advocates or coun-
tenances any further delay in this matter.
The Legislature must not construe the
silence o; the people on this subject to any
Indifference in regard to this important
subject The people say bot little, but,
like the Irishman's owl, they "keep divil
OF thinking" and when the proper time
comes will act. The threat is loud and deep
throughout the State that If the present
Legislature should dare to ignore or thwart
the will OF rhe people, already expressed at
the ballot-box, they Qhe people), by way OF
retaliation, will refuse, en- mdsSe, to con-
tribute to the support OF the State govern
ment until their will and constitutional
rights are respected by their authorized
agents.
It is doubtless very pleasant, and Roba-
bly, profitable, to some OF the members OF
the Legislature to pass two or three months
Of each year at the State capital at the peO-
PIES expense, but the people have ordered,
through the ballot box, that this useless eX-
pense and intolerable burden should not be
repeated after the present session, and this
decree must be respected by those whom
they have placed in authority. Both the
public welfare and the financial condition
OF the State absolutely require that this an
nuai expenditure shall cease, and the sooner
81 We call upon the press throughout the
State to urge upon the Legislature the neces-
sity of prompt and speedy recognition OF
the wishes and rights of the people in re-
gard to the late amendments; otherwise
there will be trouble. Pa@ iHI
The citizens OF Virginia will expect the
Governor OF the State, as far as lies In bis
constitutional power, to see that the will OF
the people Is obeyed and their constitu-
tional rights respected. VoX POPULI.-

We explained a day or two since the state
OF the railroad enterprise i'll Galipolis and
the condition we sustained towards it. We
trust our readers paid especial attention to
what VIC said about it. There is not man,

deeply interested in the matter OF Gallipo-

the following paragraph from the Charles.

planned. Surprise followed surprise,
but ever ready TO receive her friends,
Mrs. Rand welcomed each new conner
with quiet grace. AMER some time
spent in social recreation, tokens OF
friendship were presented by the
"Willing Workers" and other neigh
bors. then more Of talk and games by
the younger portion Of the company.
Amer spending pleasant evening
they went to their homes with many
pleasing remembrances of the time
spent with Mrs. Rand, to cary forward
into the years TO come.
Last Thursday evening, the express
going east loosened 4 mass of frozen
earth and rock as large as an ox-cart
body, which fell on the railroad track
in the rock cut, at the depot end so that
it could not be seen by The engineer of
the mail going west, due in 80 min
ues after the express passed. Mas
ter Willie Jones, the same who shot
the eagle near by the next day but
one, was driving past and saw the OBJ
struction. He hastened to the station
and notified Mr.. Winslow, the agent,
who tried in vain to ''call Hyde Park
by telegraph. Looking at his watch
he found he had Is minutes in which
to rig lantern for signal, lock up
cash ond other valuables, and go on
foot long mile to the ck-cut-that
is a mile in 8 minutes by man, who
had just celebrated his 30th wedding
anniversary, but being a staunch friend
of the Citizen and a few years ago
chief of its repotorial staff, and bring
ing to mind the time when 1.-THE Sun
of Austerlitz" shown on his ''Great
Commander" on the plains of Waits
field, his spirit became inspired, his
legs grew loose and he charged wildly
up the track. A telegram from his
over-driven lungs brought him to a
halt at about half way, but only for a
few seconds. The cut was reached
just as the ringing rails told of the
nearby train coming down the line.
The train was stopped. The mass OF
earth was snaked with cable chain of
the track by the backing locomotive.
Mr.. Winslow was praised for both
spirit and speed. Willie Jones got
several silent but heartfelt cheers, by
both train men and passengers, and
the train rolled into the station yard
but fewminutes late. We hope the
railroad managers will present Mr.W.
with a picture or painting to hang in
his office, to in some way, commemor-
ate the incident or event. Also a
round trip ticket to Niagara Falls to
Willie James and somebody who now
wears short dresses, ticket not to be
good till 1886 and void after 1889.
