Editors Dispatch: The idea OF commits
sion to settle the matter OF the public debt
ia an excellent one; and it is source OF re-
gret that few known business-men-say
like Colonel Robert Beverley, OF Fauquier;
Mr.. Isaac Davenport. Jr., Of Richmond;
and Mr.. George w. Palmer, OF Washing
ton county-were not added to it. Then
one OF the Earrings, OF London, house
that has ever been the friend Of Virginia,
and Mir. Auguste Belmont, the representa-
tive in this country Of the Rothschilds,
should be invited to confer with it. They
could tell us the mind of our foreign bond
holders.
The matter is one OF pure business, and
where there is no loom whatever for acer-
bty, one way or the other.
we want to do our whole duty IN the
premises, and it is plain no result can be
arrived at as long as we continue to fight
like dogs among ourselves. 1t both con-
sumes the States money and destroys alike
public and private credit; and we, as
State. are altogether too poor to lose either.

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA Weldon, N. e., March "a daring
attempt to break Jail at Halifax Courthouse,
in this State, was made Yesterday. When
the assistant iailer made his accustomed
round to carry the prisoners food three des-
perate characters, headed by one Bob john
son, who had freed themselves of their
irons, passed him. The iaier, who is a
colored man, covered them with his double
barrelled gun. All the other prisoners
thirteen in number-made an onslaught on
the colored officers, who kept them at bay
until the cries of the taller brought to his
assistance number OF citizens, and the
prisoners were secured and placed back in

The Veto.

1t has been the consistent declaration OF
this paper that Governor Holiday could
not fail to veto the Barbour taX-bill il he
would be faithful 10 the pledges given by
him before and since his election to the
gubernatoral chair. The Governor has
verified the confidence reposed in his fdeli-
ty to those trusts and has refused to approve
that measure. There will be, Of course. Il
great clamor against him from the read.
iusters. but Governor Holiday will have
the satisfaction OF knowing that the people
endorse his course, and that men Of the
soundcst judgments and most approved pa
triotism are made glad by his vindication Of
the honor OF the Commonwealth against the
attacks of her own needless sons. II the
bill had become law its provisions would
certainly have failed Of judicial sanction,
and Virginia would have incurred all the
odium of reputation without any relief
from her burden. All the veXations and
costly litigation that would have cnsued
has been happily prevented by the Gov
ernor's wise action. We congratulate the
State on the result, and believe the sober
sense OF the people will hold up the hands
of their conscientious and courageous Gov
ernor.- Petersburg appeal.

up for the right in these troublesome times.
If the old Commonwealth must 60 down in
disgrace and dishonor none OF the blight

have discharged your duty fcarlessly and
nobly. What would Washington, Henry,

10 the Hon. Alexander II. Stephens:
NV Dear Sir,-I want to thank you, with
all my heart, for yoEr very beautiful, JUDI
cious, and patriotic address on the occasion
of the presentation and reception of the
Carpenter picture OF Lincoln. II is, indeed,
marvellous thing how, after her trials, the
South still continues to maintain her noble
prominence in craftsmanship and in moral
dignity; and still more marvellous perhaps
that one who had been so conspicuous in
the councils OF the nation before the war,
and also during the progress OF that
painful struggle. had been identified
with equal prominence with the south
ern cause. should continue alter all
to command equally North and South
a homage, a respect, and confidence which
are awarded by the people to hardly any
other 1t is beautiful and a noble tribute
to character always consistently distin-
guished for unsel6sh devotion to principle
and to tone OF sentiment so far elevated
above the base and mean passions which
di>tigure so much Of our public life as to be
almost without a parallel. The address to
which I have referred is in perfect harmony
with this character, and it has been read
with deep qualification by millions OF your
countrymen. Very sincerely yours,
T. A. Z. BARNARD.

THE DOANE MURDER.
The Coroner Concludes the Inquest nnd
the Jury Render n Verdict.

Last evening Coroner Roche end his jury
concluded the inquest In the killing OF the col
o,ed man Robert Isaac Doane who was found
briinpd In his room. at the house corner OF An
nunciation and Calliope streets. Mt about 3
o. lock on the evening Of the twenty first day
OF MAJ CHI.
Tie detectives are said to have linked to-
gether the evidence and circumstances sur
rounding this horrible tragedy but ave been
unable to discover the perpet ator. When they
.ppeared before the coroner's court Of inquiry
last evening. they stated that they had made
II gent search to discover the murderer, but
had been unsuccessful, They, however, hope
that as time rolls on the villain will in some
manner or way. reveal himself. and they will
taka him into custody and the law will be salts
fed.
The murder of Doane has given wide field
for detective skill and any officer. who would
have wished to make for himself reputation
had only to have taken the case in hand and
rked ii up: butlthere was not single one, as
it appears. who was ambitious enough to push
the case through.
The victim is now Ibid under the sod: The
enroner's jury have returned verdict that he
came to his death from blows inflicted on the
head by hatcnet in the hands OF parties I'M
known. and here the case will end. until some
rising detective. who wishes t. make for him
self an enviable reputation. takes 1t in hand and
brings the guilty one to justice.
