Mr. Opie How does the gentleman pro-
pose TO arrive at a settlement?
Mr. Allen 1.-THE leader OF the rpadiu>ters] :
l think the creditors proposition already
received may form the basis OF a settlement
that may be had before this session OF the
Legislature adiourns.
Mr.. ODie called the attention OF Mr.. Allen
to the fact that his resolutions sought to an-
null the contract made by the funding bill.
While he (Mr. Opie) was opposed to the
funding bill, and had always been, still it
was contract and enforced by the law, and
he would ask Mr.. Allen how he proposed
to get rid OF it! s=
Mr. Allen replied that while the latter
clause OF bis resolutions said distinctly that
we hold these opinions, it also said we would
yield even more than the demands OF equity
could require. The resolutions do not pro-
pose to reject the propositions OF the credi-
tors. a.. rs"
Mr.. Opie again quoted Mr.. Aliens reso-
lutions, requiring the restitution to the State
Of the inalienable control OF her revenues
and saying that no other settlement would
be acceptable, and asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Allen said the resolution said that no
other settlement would be acceptable, but
it did not say that we would not accept. any
other. a.'" ol IT, !. ~

Southern War Claims.

ia Che House OF Representatives on Friday
touching the, southern loyalists, 1t was
poin1edIy noticed by our Washington cor:
respondent. He said that If os many men
were loyal in file South during the war as
now claim to have been he could not imagine
where the vast armies that confronted the
Union troops came from. This was pal.
pabe hit. But it is remal kable that in the
last presidential campaign the ultra-Radical
press charged the claims Of all these hypo;
critics to the rebellious South. ~ ..,.:
And so it has been ever. The North al.
ways makes money twice out OF one thing.
They imported tie negro through the ,hor.
rors of the middle passage."l They
worked him until they found he was
not profitable laborer, and sold him
to the poor South" They soon found
that it would pay to assail that
property, which they had got rid of by
turning it into money, as an ,abomination in
the eyes of civilization. The dodge took.
Fanatics and philantbropists were plenty.
Money was made out, of the anti.slayery
trade by, as it were, the very authors oi

prevailed. Success, emboldened the ,hypo.

Taking Srto consideration the reports
I from all the counties concerning the APP
monument Of delegates and the occurrences
during the meetings. together with the
number Of prominent counties 10 Whlc1n no 9
meetings have been held or no delegates APP
pointed. the conclusion that the convention
itself, if it assemblies at ALL will be lndeeo
1 a flash in the pan, Is irresistible.
4 But there can be hardly a doubt that the

| what will there be for such convention TO
discuss or resolve about2 1t will be like an
inverted pyramid, left 10 stand upon its
apex. 1t must fail and fall to ruin. 2
These things are as. apparent TO those
who favor the convention as they are to us.
They must be apparent to the people also.
And what should be the desire Of all parties
in this situation? Why, that the Common.
wealth should be left as little disturbed as
possible by conflicting views and partisan
animosities. The people should all with one
heart and mind favor the settlement upon
the liberal proposition OF the hondhoiders,
and do everything that may possibly contri-
butte to the subsistence Of the discords and
rancors Of the past. ,,..,,,, .1 4!
Rely upon it that the best thing for those
partisans who have been conspicuous in the
agitations which have produced so much
disturbance, in Virginia society is grace
fully to acquiesce in the overwhelming will
and desire OF the people, and abstain deco.
rously and periodically from disturbing
the waters which are about to settle clear
and peacefully. The State has bad a
period Of precedeDted trouble and
anxiety. It will be infinitely delightful
to everybody that a period OF scren:
!. ity and rest should follow this experience.
Those who have struggled to carry Iout
objects not approved by the people should
not berregarded as having sought to increase
1.-THE public disturbance, and they should
now cease to press their ideas, against the

The Public Debt.

With that extension of time the bill Il:
our hearty approval, and we accept OF IL as
the happy delverer from our embarrassed
condition. Ten years OF low interest VII
give us time to breathe and recuperate from
the losses sustained by robbery and war
and bring US to an era Of peace, prosperity
and coed feeling, when orr ability to pay
our honest debts will, be increased to such
an extent the oppression OF former
years will not be felt. For the last
Twelve wears we have been paying full
six per cent. on twenty millions, the
funded debt, while but little has been paid
on the nine millions OF outstanding debt.
This unjust discrimination has led to much
bitter feeling. The late proposition OF the
bondholders does away with this dlscrml-
nation, and all the debt is placed on the same
footing, and with the interest reduced from
six TO three per cent. we will be able to ply
full interest on the whole debt with less
amount Of revenue than we are now forced
to raise to pay interest on the funded TWEEN
tv millions, while the unfunded nine mil-
lions is pillng up interest at the rate OF six
per cent. per annum. The entire debt TO
be funded under this bill will not exceed
tbirty-two millions, one half OF the accrued
interest added. y F..
TO the members of the Legislature the
people Of Virginia are anXiously looking for
4 compromise and settlement OF this Debt on
basis that will bring it within their power
to pay the interest at the present rate OF tax
alton. Such proposition bls been pre-
Sented by the bondholders, and the people
Withhold their representatives responsible
for failure:to perfect and close with them
while the opportunity is offered.
To defeat the settlement is death to Fir-
ginia and death and political damnation to
the representative who throws straws in
the way. Let us have Il settlement OF this
yeXed question that is parayzing every en-
terpri>e, hope, and ambition OF our State,
and then that peace, prosperity, and plenty
will return that IS the boon Of civilized
and right-feelins people. -Pearisbary pir-
