The Barbour Bill Vetoed.

A special dispatch to the VIRGINIAN in
forms us that Governor Holiday, on yester-
day, vetoed the Barbour bill. We have not
the reasons which influenced this eX-
traordinary course on the part OF the Gov
crnor. When we remember his position be-
fore his election, that the debt question was
matter for the Legislature to act upon as
the immediate representative and reflection
of the will Of the people, and that the veto
power should never be invoked to defeat
that will, the information communicated to
us fills lis with establishment. To assume
that the legi Station was either hasty or I'M
constitutional would be reflection upon his
own intelligence. To assert that the Barbour
bill does not reflect the will Of the peo-
pie, is to question his own sincerity. There
is no conceivable reason, founded in public
policy or public justice, that. suggests itself
which could Justify the responsibility the
Governor has assumed. 1t is a terrible stab
at the prosperity of the State and the best
Interests of the people. 1t throws away the
labor of months, and casts the ship of State
upon sea of uncertainty for another twelve
months, with the waves of uin and bank
ruptcy surging all around.
The duty OF the Legislature now is to pass
the bill calling State Convention, and i'm
mediately adjourn. Let the voice of the SOW
creign people once more be heard in vindi-
cation of the imperilled life Of the State,
aud the command go forth that Yirginians
mean to rule Virginia and direct her desti-
my. in defiance OF treachery in high places
at home and tine 1aaanacles of Wall street.
The voice of the people from one end of
the Commonwealth to the other should be
heard, and public meetings held upon every
-coart-green to rebuke the aaenstzcus in
vasioa of their rights by him whom they so
recently elevated to power.

In another article in the same Issue Of the
Courier, we find the following allusion to
the efforts of the Rockin cham Gnnator,
The Eastern News.

The terms of peace between Russia and
Turkey have not yet been signed. Russia
demands wal indemnity of one thousand
million dollars, and also the Turkish fleet.
This would embrace the Egyptian tributes,
which is pledged to paying the English
creditors of Turkey for loans in the war of
1855, for most of Which England and France
are security. Thirty thousand Russians are
marching towards Constantinople. The En-
glish government. is making immense war
preparations, and is determined to see that
all English interests are protected. Austria
and Roumania are dissatisfied with the terms
Of the treaty, and Russia says she will have
the terms or fight. The complications are
very serious, but the opinion is expressed
that war will be prevented

We interected parenthetical paragraph
in the telegram published last week, CIV
ing the Senate amendment to the Barbour
bill, that was not justified by the facts. We
were misled by the wording Of the telegram,
and although the amendment did not as
sault the Public Schools as we thought it
did, it was sufficiently obnoxious to call for
amendment, which was promptly voted by
the House, and subsequently, by the Senate.
The bill as thus completed has passed both
branches of the Legislature, and is before
the Governor for his approval or veto.
