LIFE AIMs.-Every one should try to
better his condition if he can. The poor
man should try to increase his means
the sick man to improve his health; the
ignorant man to acquire knowledge and
the foolish man to get understanding. In
such matters, the great question is whether
the desired improvement is within our
reach. To long for what we cannot at
tam, or to grieve because it is mattain-
able, is simply to play the part Of child
that cries for the moon. Let us know
what We have and what We want and
let us next inquire whether what We want
can be got by striving for it. Ii it can
not be got, let us think of it no more, or
endeavor to compensate for the want in
some other way. A short man may wish
to be tail, bnt he cannot add an inch, any
more than cuhit, to his stature. He
may, however, be very worthy and re-
spectacle man for all that, if he conducts
himself with propriety and simplicity,
and does not, as short men sometimes do,
render his diminutive size more conspicu-
ous by conceit and affectation.

Meeting of Re-Adiusters.

'sLike begets like" is trite and true say
ing. The address Of the ''society''of ''Debt
Payers" headed by Robert Beverly, and
which we published several weeks ago, has
aroused the extreme re.adjusters, and they
are preparing to take up the glove thrown
down in that ill-advised and unfortunate
challenge. We publish the proceedings of
the Re- adjustors' meeting,as furnised by the
Dispatch, for the information Of our readers
without any purpose to-day to offer COM
ment. We shall await the result Of efforts
now being made to bring about conference
between the creditors and authorities of the
State. Its critical time In the history OF
this debt question: time pregnant with
veal or woe both for the State and her cred
itors, and we earnestly hope that wise coun-
sci will prevail in the consideration OF this
vital matter. As between these extremes,
we believe there is middle ground upon
which the people will rally-a safe and equi-
table ground on which the creditors and the
State can and ought to meet, and settle this
question to mutual advantage. Itlooks dis
couraging, however, at this time, and We
can only hope that prudence and wisdom
will assert concilating influence in future
deliberations.

III Advised Action.

The House Committee on Finance held a
meeting on Tuesday night, to consider the
proposition to invite a conference with the
bondholders. The resolution Judge Allen
offered in the House few days ago, was
lost by O tie vote. Mr.. Harrison, Of Sussex,
offered resolution expressing the desire to
settle the debt upon basis that will enable
the Commonwealth to pay it, and inviting
the creditors to conference on the 10th OF
January. To this Mr.. Harvie offered an
amendment, embracing the conditions, sub
stantially, of the Barbour Bill, and in that
shape it was adopted by the Committee, and
was ordered to be reported to the House to-
day.
We regard this action Of the Committee as
simply trifling with this vital subject. 1t
does not represent the sentiment of the
State, nor will such indifference to the in
terests involved in this important matter
meet with anything but condemnation from
the rejecting portions of all classes Of citi-
:zens. We hope that the House will vote
down the report of the Committee, and adopt
the original resolution of Judge Allen.

Tempest in a Teapot

Governor Holiday sent to the Virginia
Senate Monday the records in the case Of
the alleged invasion Of State jurisdiction by
Judge Rives, OF the United States Court,
involving the question of the right Of trial
by colored or mixed juries, accompanied by
the opinion of Judge Tredway, of the State
Court, whose jurisdiction was overridden,
and the State Attorney General. Judge
Tredway favors applying to the Supreme
Court of the United States for mandamus,
bnt suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of first pre-
;senting thescase to the consideration of the
Executive, as it may be that the depart
ment Of justice can take cognizance Of and
redress the wrong. The Attorney General
makes an elaborate argument to show that
Judge Rives had usurped power and juris-
dlction that does not lawfully pertain to him. |

BALTIMORE CATTLE MARKET. Dec. 1eth.-BEEF
CATTLE.-The market to-day has been very SLOW
throughout, and prices Of all grades &c Off from
those of last week. The quality of the tops was
better than that of last week, while there were
more common cattle. Among the offerings there
were some extra choice Christmas beeves, from
Athens and Fayette counties, Ohio, one bunch OF
which averaged over 2Goe lbs, and pair OF steers
averaging 5000 lbs, pronounced by good judges to
be the best sold here for years They were all ia
ken by Baltimore firm private terms. We
quote the general market at 00a$5 co per 100 lbs
Mich Cows.-The supply is full and trade very
slow. We quote prices at 2Oa$50 per head as to
quality.
Prices this week for beef cattle ranged as follows
Best Beeves at 37a$5 90, that generally rated first
quality 75a$4 81, medium or good fair qualityS 10
ass SO; ordinary thin steers, oxen and COWS 90 a
SO 10; general average of the market this week
extreme range OF prices 00a$5 60 Most of the
sales were from rs to 81 IL per 100 lbs.
SwINE.-There has been large increase in the
receipts over last week, and the quality of the Of
feringS are fully as good as they wers then. Pri-
es are shade off from last Monday, but trade
has been fair with increased receipts. Most sales
were made at 4a4A cents, rough stock only SELL
ing under the lesser figure. We quote at 3Ma4A
cents per lb net. The arrivals up to Saturday
Monday run. Receipts this week 1879 head.
SHEEP AND SHEEP.-There has been large in
crease in the receipts over last week. the num-
Der footing up nearly four fold. The quality is
much better than last week. but the market is
very dul, there being no Eastern demand what
ever, and prices are &c lower, trade being wholly
confined to Baltimore butchers. We quote at 81
a4A cents perlb. Lambs at 4a5 cts per lib gross.
Receipts this week 1888 head.

An instructive lesson is furnished in the
New York stock market of Saturday last.
The assurance having been given that the
January interest, semi-annual, of the LOU
isiana debt would be paid promptly, the
market for the consols was very active, and
sales effected of $4,000 at 73a to IA cents
"a marked appreciation and steady strength.
Were the assurance given that the interest
on per cent. bond of Virginia, would
be paid promptly, there weuld be no doubt
of the rapid appreciation of the security and
but a short time would elapse before it would
be quoted at nearly par. AS it is, our six
per cent. bonds aye quoted at SO and 81, and
with a hesitating market, and no prospect
of an improvement, SO long as the factions
to the debt question stand apart and grin
defiance at each other. Virginia is possessed
of far greater resources than Louisiana, and
with the debt question settled, the popular
mind composed, and confidence restored, we
could reasonably expect such an improve
ment in all the material interests of the
Commonwealth as would advance State
credit, and stimulate the hopes and indus
tries Of the people.

Judge Rives' Opinion.

As there has been a great deal of cheap
buncombe gotten off by the press of Virginia
and one or two members Of the Legislature
about Judge Rives' opinion in the Patrick
county habeas coypns case, under the Civil
Rights Bill, we shall publish the opinion in
full next week. 1t is very easy for super
fetal writers and speakers to assault Fed
eral officer and attempt to arouse prejudice
against him, in a case of this kind, but it is
more difficult to meet the position taken by
the Judge by legal and constitutional argu-
ment.

ENCOURAGING PRosPECTs.-Secretary
Sherman remarked few days ago, that eve.
ry day convinced him more thoroughly OF
his ability to maintain specie payments, and
that his means on the lst Of January will be
abundant for the purpose. He is in receipt OF
private information from all quarters, which
report better commercial feeling through
out the country, and he thought every
symptom indicated that trade would be on a
firmer basis in January than for several
years. The Secretary says he apprehends
still further depreciation in the market
value of silver, on account of the extraord-
mary products of newly discovered mines
in Colorado and Utah.
