washington County.

Mr.. FULKERsON resides in the produc-
tive county OF Washington he says his
county is unable to pay any more taxes.
That county spends for alcoholic liquors at
least twenty thousand dollars per annum,
as NAV be seen from the .MoFFETT.re register
returns. The tax, it is estimated, will
amount to $4,000 per annum. AS the tax
is less than one fifth OF the sum paid for
liquors, the price being about five times the
tax, and there being much consumed that is
not taxed at all, it follows that Washington
county pays at least twenty thousand dol
lars annually fora beverage that is mere
luxury. The amount which it would be
necessary to add to the present State taxes in
order to enable the Commonw ealth to pay the
interest on her Whole debt would be about
one third. Washington's real and personal
property pays less than $4,000 per annum,
OF which $4,000 is one third. So that this
county, which annually pays $4,000 for
spirituous liquors, cannot pay $4,000 for
honesty's sake-cannot pay one third as
much to save the name of their old mother
from disgrace and dishonor as she pays for
an unnecessary indulgence.
The same state Of things exists all over
Virginia. Isn't it shameful for such pee
pie to plead poverty as an excuse for dis.
honesty?

GoRTsCHAKoFR and BISMARCK. In the force

GoRTscHAKoRP is the superior Of BISMARCK,
as he is Of all other diplomatic ministers in
Europe. BIsMAEcK's power is in his COM

to speak, intuitiye wisdom as 70 how and
when to strike so is he indomitable and

will hand these two men down TO posterity
as incomparably superior in their peculiar

proof OF the excellence OF his talents in his
reply to she new Prime Minister OF Eng

One Of the grounds upon which the Radi-
Gals oppose the enactment OF a law imposing
a tax OF two per cent. upon incomes exceed
ing $4,000 per annum is that while but few
reople in the South, owing to the poverty
of that section, would be amenable to it,
those whom it would affect in the itch North
would be counted by thousands. The Iri-
bane says:
"There is no reason in the world either
for imposing this tax or for reducing the tax
on tobacco except to please southern and
western men, who hope by such eXpedients
to throw entirely upon the East the burdens
which the whole country ought to bear to-
gether."
The Tribune wishes the South and West
to pay nearly all the internal taxes.

Wolf! Wolf!

When silver was remOnetlZed the gold
partisans predicted that Federal bonds
would be returned from abroad rapidly
upon us because the moneyed men of Europe
would lose confidence in our public honor.
The prediction has not been fulfilled. On
the contrary, sales made by the Secretary OF
the Treasury show that the Federal bonds
have increased in popularity in Europe,
None have been sent home which were not
taken up at once without decline in value
indeed, upon rising market. II silver. hao
ANYTHING to do with the matter it has i'm.
proved the credit Of those bonds. ,
In:former days, when one of the States
permitted the interest due upon her bonds
to .slie over" for year or two, the credit
OF the Federal Government was so much
affected in Europe that it could not borrow
any money although 1t wanted some badly.
Now, however, there are several States
whose bonds. are PROSTATE in the dust, and
some Of them are meditating or discussing
reputation; and that State whose honor is
SO low as to admit Of the discussion OF this
thing must be in sadly demoralized condi-
ton.
Yet these things in no wise impair the
credit OF the Federal Government, 1t
should add much to the shame Of those
States whose bad conduct affects their own
credit that they are considered Of such lit
file consequence that they are not taken into
the account OF the national honor. What a
poor and humiIiating plight these States
must appear in! $50
The people Of this country must, how
ever, feel just pride in the high credit OF
our national obligations. 1t is some conso-
lation to those who are concerned by the
dishonor OF some Of the States that our Ma
tlonal Government has power enough to
maintain itself in the face of the shameful
faithlessness Of those States.
