The Compromise Debt Bill is now the
law. We believe it embodies the deli
berate judgment of the vast majority of
the people of the State, and is the best
settlement of the vexed question that
was possible
For eight long years the matter has
been agitated, in season and out of sea-
son, to the great injury of the people in
all of their interests. We are weary of
it-and weary, too, of the turbulent poll
ticians who have used it as their only
capital for selfish objects.
The compromise is fair, just and COM
plete, and the objections which have
been urged to it will be found upon ex-
animation to be trivial
And now that his question has been de-
cided and the terms agreed upon, we sub
nit that it is the duty of every good and
law abiding citizen to do all in his pow
er to carry out the settlement in good
faith. The only danger to be apprehend-
ed is a factious opposition by dema
gogues, which the foreign creditors may
mistake for the sentiment of the people
and which may deter them from refund
ing their present six per cent bonds I'M
der the provisions of the law. The peo-
pie whose prosperity is at stake ought
to understand this matter and turn a
cold shoulder to the agitators.- = WIN

BAPTIST STATE MIssIoN.-This
month begins the quarter in which most
of the Baptist churches take up their
collections for State missions.
For the nine months ending February
lst, 1879, the State Mission Board had
thirty five missionaries in the field
fourteen west of the Blue Ridge, nine
in Piedmont and Middle Virginia, and
twelve in the Underwater section. They
preached 2,316 sermons; six hundred
and twenty seven visits to families for
religious CONVEX sation and prayer; and
organized five new churches and seven
Sunday schools. fea N
There will be due these missionaries
on the 31st of May s5,3S7, which the
members of that church are requested
to secure before the meeting of the Cen
eral Association in Charlottesville on
the 28th of May.
During the past eight years, under
the labor of the Baptist missionaries,
1886 persons have protested faith in
Christ, 81 churches and 161 Sunday
schools have been organized, and So
houses of worship have been built.

The Army Bill Passed By the House.

The House of Representatives on last
Saturday, at the close of the very pro-
tracted debate on the bill, passed the
army appropriation bill with the sec
ton repeating the law authorizing the
use of troops at the polls, which section.
supported by the Democrats and OPP
posed by the Republicans, was the SUBJ
ject of the animated, earnest and pro-
tracted debate in that body.
Colonel Gilman, the Washington cor.
respondent of the Richmond Dispatch,
says: "Mr. Jorgensen says the Presi-
dent will sign the bill, but he believes
he will veto the legislative bill if it con-
tains what the Democrats propose in
sorting in it in regard to the supervisors
of election, etc." Jorgensen is the Re-
publican Congressman from the Peters,
burg District of this Site.
The New York Herald, discussing
the probability of the veto Of the appro'
priation bill by the President, uses the
following strong and emphatic language:
at is the general belief among Republi-
cans in Washington, we understand,
that the President will veto both the
appropriation bills presently to come
before him. Against this we have moth
ing to say. We desire only to remind
him that if he does veto either or both
of them he will grievously disappoint
the reasonable expectations Of the pub
lie if he does not justify SO important al
act by very cogent and convincing rea-
sons. A veto affixed simply at the com
mand of his party might satisfy the
party leaders, but it would justly arouss
a storm of public Indignation against
him as an act degrading to his office and
insulting to the nation"

The Virginia B0ndh0lders.
The Alexandria Gazette remarks til

The Alexandria Gazette remarks that
-"From intimations in certain quar-.
tsrs it seems that the Virginia readJust-
ers now, when too late to afford them
any assistance, are to receive reinforce
ments, and, though not strange to relate
to people who recognize the rights of
creditors, from q totally unexpected
quarter to those who want such assist
ance, namely, from the "bloated bond |
holders" Men whose coupons have 7
been netting them considerably more |
than three per cent. on their investments |
are indisposed to accept the reduction
proposed by the debt bill, and talk about
appealing to the courts to defend their
rights. 1t will, however, be to the ad-
vantage of all, creditor no less than
debtor, for the terms of the bill to be
accepted, and we hope the talk referred
to may expend itself in breath"
We have very little doubt says the
Lynchburg Nrginian, that some of the
leading Readjusters, being willing and
anxious to see the last scheme adopted
for the settlement of the public debt
question fail, would encourage the bond
holders in refusal to accept the terms.
But we sincerely hope that the creditors
will not be deIuded into such folly, since
it is to their interest, as well as that OF
the people of Virginia, that this question
should be settled now, and taken out OF
politics. We don't believe that the
creditors will ever get a BETTER offer,
and they might fare worse if the ques-
ton should be kept open, and under the
manipulation of INSCRIPTIONS men, re-
main as an element of political agita-
ten. Such Legislature as might be
elected hereafter, could embarrass even
the coupon creditors in various ways, so
that their bonds would be further de-
preciated and not net to them the in
terest now offered under the McCulloch
bill, so called. PROFESSIONALLY, their
refusal to accept the terms which large
party in our State have labored to prove
are too onerous for our people, would
strengthen the hands of the Forcible
Readjusters, might cool the ardor OF
many honest advocates of a fair adjust
ment of this question, and prepare the
way for the advent of party that would
become dominant, and force the credi-
tors into worse terms. The victory won
by the former class in the late contest
over the Forcible Readjusters, is one
that good people, everywhere, should
rejoice over, and we hope that the peo'
pie more Immediately interested will
not deprive themselves, or those who
would see the credit and good name OF
Virginia restored, of the expected fruit
of this victory.
AS a steadfast friend of honest meas
ures in all our dealing with the public
creditors, we would urge them to accep
the terms offered in the bill that ha
just now, after long and hard struggle
become law. If it is rejected, the cred
itors will never get another SO good. I
beheoves them therefore to determine
whether they will be Influenced by thu
advice of their friends or their enemies
in this important matter.

Death OF Madame Jerome B0napartc.

Madame Elizabeth Bonaparte, nee
Patterson, the wife of Jerome Bonafarte,
the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, died
on last Wednesday at her residence In
Baltimore, at the advanced age of "a
years. She leaves large estate, estimat-
ed over million of dollars, which it lis
understood will be equally divided be-
tween her grandsons, Colonel Jerome
Napoleon Bonaparte and Chas. J. Bona
parte.
The death of Madame Bonaparte closes
a career of peculiar and Inournful inter
est. 1t really removes from the world
one of the most remarkable of American
women. The life which has just ended
was in itself historical romance, and
had been SO linked with lives which
were at one time more conspicuous in the
wars and politics of the old world than
any which had preceded them for cen
turtles, that, whether in life or death, her
name recalls the greatest personages and
events of modern times. On Christmas
Eve, 1908, the marriage of Jerome Bona
parte, the youngest OF Napoleon's broth
ers. with Elizabeth Patterson took place,
and at that time Napoleon was the con
qneror of Egypt and Italy and First
Consul of France. The bride was in her
18th year, (she was born February g,
1852 and the groom was less than four
months Older, having been oorn at
Ajaccio, November 10, 1884 Nothing
could hay e been. apparently, more bril-
liant and hopeful than such an alliance,
yet in short period she found herself a
discarded wife, and has lived to see her
husbands family twice ruined and twice
overthrown.
OLIVER VS.. CAMERON.-In the suit in
Washington City, of widow Oliver a.

REV. DR.. GEORGE B. TAYLOR AT
HOME AGAIN.-Rev. DIR. George B.
Taylor, f..Rome, Italy. has been warm
~ greeted by his old friends in Rich
mon.
Six years ago he gave up his passionate
IN Staunton and sailed for Italy, where
cious work, in planting Baptist chur-
ches and promoting evangelical Chris
tianity. not only in Rome, but through
out that country.
He comes back for short season to
arouse more interest in his mission, and
especially to secure the means of COM
pletlng his chapel at Rome and at other
points in Italy.
Yesterday afternoon there was held a
very Interesting meeting of the Woman's
Missionary Association of Richmond at
Sidney Baptist church. DR.. Taylor
made an admirable address, saying, in
conclusion, that while he had no thrill
ing story of romance to tell, he thanked
God that he was permitted to come back
to the home of his youth, with his ia
mily circle unbroken, and with the re-
membrance of Gods grace in enabling
him to accomplish something and to lay
foundation of good hope for the fu-
ture.
AT the suggestion of DIR. Jeter, Rev.
DR.. Mcdonald led in special thanksgiv-
ing for the safe return of DIR. Taylor and
his family and for Gods blessing on the
work IN Italy.
DIR. Taylor is looking very well and
he and his family seem in excellent
health. Richmond Dispatch, ApriI 4th.

"Northern Republicans close their
factories in the face Of the black man,
merchants refuse to hire him, mechan-

mon /. borers will strike if he dare in

a place to work wherever his ability tits

GAS far as we can learn, and we have re-

section of the county, there is a general
expression of reliefand satisfaction at the
result of the issue, re adjusters and debt
payers, as they have been called, seem
to be entirely united, and we with con-
fidence look forward to speedy restora-
ton of confidence and steady increase
in prosperity. Foreign capital which
has undoubtedly been kept out of the
State, to large extent, by the agitation
of this question, will begin to find its
way into our midst and seek investment.
All of this has been accomplished with
out increase in taxation and the honor
of the State has been saved. All honor

for the honor of the State and the integ-
rity of her obligations.

THE STATE DEBT.-We are glad that
the State debt agitation is settled, even
if the "over burdened Taxpayers" have
been compelled to pay the Forcible Re-
adjusters the $3.50 pay for attendance
upon the extra session of the Legisla-
ture in order that its passage might be
secured, for the repose of the State is
worth more than ten times the cost of
the extra session.
The bill might just 90 readily have
been passed at the regular session, had
not the filibustering of the Readjusters
defeated it, and had their sole purpose
been the defeat of the bill. they could
have secured it by the employment of
the same tactics at the extra session,
henceit would appear to disinterested
observer that the defeat of the bill was
not so much their object as to secure
the pay of the extra session, for, as
soon as the extra session was called
by the Governor and the pay thereof
secured, the Filibusters stopped filibus-
terIng and permitted vote on the bill,
whereupon the majority who tried to
force vote upon it at the regular ses-
sion, but failed for want of two-thirds
vote, carried it through. How the Fore
ibles will account for this action to their
'tax burdened constituency" we are not
able to say, but trust there will be found
some one in their respective counties
who will enlighten the people upon the
works of their OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
