They figured zon the basis of the ordinance Of
separa tion that we owed the old State about
81 600, 600. Subsequently the Committee
on Finance of our State Senate went over the
calculation and brought Virginia in debt to
us in the sum of $500 900. All the improve.
ments we got for the fifteen millions Virginia
wants us 10 pay were an unfinished insane
asylum at Weston a little work on the Chesa-
peske and Ohio Railroad, a short piece OF
turnpike and an old State library"
'.ln what condition are your public
schools Z"
"Quite good, and all the time improving
At first there was some hostility to free
schools, but that has all died out, and the
people now take great interest in them. We
have an excellent Superintendent in DR.. Pen
dleton of Bethany College"
"What is the rate of State taxation?"
Twenty cents ON the dollar for State pur-
poses, aud ten cents for the school fund"
care politics bitter?"
"No, not more SO than in the Northern
States. We have brisk political contests,
but we have worked out of the animosities Of
the war into condition of tolerance and
good feeling. There are good influential
citizens in both parties. Since have been
in Office have made it rule to give the
Republican minority representation on all
State boards and commissions. We have only
1900 colored people in the State-not
enough to form an important element of our
population"
The general impression one gets of West
Virginia from talk with Governor Mathews
is that it is making slow but sure progress in
population, wealth and intelligence that it
is in an excellent condition financially; that
its stores of mineral wealth ought to attract
the attention of Eastern capitalists, and that
there is room for thousands of Industrious
people who do Dotcxpec, to fnd farms ready
made by nature. as on the Western prairies,
but are willing to struggle with the forests
for the sake of a peculiarly healthy climate,
fine mountain scenery, copious springs OF de-
licious water and pure, swift streams.

CHINESE LABOR FOR THE SOUTH,

Speaking Of the negro exodus from the
South, aud the practicablity of securing
Chinese laborers to fill the places of those
who leave, the Philadelphia Times remarks:
"The negro exodus from the South to
Kansas is working its logical result. The
present evil from the movement is two>told-
frst, in endangeriDg the growing crops in the
South, and, second, in making nine>tents of
tho deuded colored emigrants suffering pau
pers for months to come. The planters of
the regions in tho South where tho negroes
have abandoned their homes arc already ar
raying for Chinese to take the places of the
coIorcd laborers, and no graver peril could
be presented to the freedmen. IF Chinese
labor shall ooce get footing on the cotton
and sugar plantations the negro Will find his
vocation zone. The Chinese laborer is &C,
tive, quick-witted, industrious and frugal
He can do as much work as two average ne
groes in the cotton, rice or sugar fields OF tho
South, he wastes nothing, spends nothing and
can live on next to nothing, and If he is once
employed in the South he will stay; and he
will live we'll where the negro, with equal OPP
portunities, will be ragged and hungry
The northern parishes of Louisiana have al
ready engaged Cinnamon to take the places
of the migrating negroes, and the New Or,
leans Democrat announces that they can be
supplied at a rate much lower than that now
paid the negro aud that there is mo limit
to the number of hands which could be
shipped on short notice. Between the
chrome and circular colporteurs of Northern
agitators and the few brutal spirits of the
South, the freedmen have had DO peace but
as the Chinese are not voters, political ag-
itators and bummers will let them alone to
attend to their work. In this negro exodus,
as in all other disturbances Of every kind in
the South, it is the negro that suffers most;
but the greatest calamity that can happen
the freedmen would be mpetition with coolie
labor on the plantations of the cotton States"

BULLS AND BEARS.
A General Decline In stocks, and n
Panic Threatened.

New York, Nov. 21.-The bull panic
OF yesterday, which appeared to be in a
measure allayed during the afternoon,
gathered an extraordinary impetus this
morning from the pressure Of stocks
held on country orders. Frightened
and demoralized speculators sent orders
to their brokers to sell out at any price,
and they were in as hot haste to get
out as week ago they were to get in.
Exchange opened with wild confusion
and excitement, and the consequence
was that the whole list gave way DUR
ing the call from l to "a per cent, the
last in Delaware and Hudson. Coal
stocks were pressed for sale in great
confusion. There was a general decline
in the prices of Vanderbilt stocks,
though they were well maintained.
Toward the middle of the day there
was general. strengthening of the list,
many buyers being attracted by the
relative cheapness of stocks. 1t was
also reported in speculative circles that
the leading operators were buying, and
that brokers of respective pools were
being supplied with orders. The de-
cline in the stock market created great
confusion in the money market and
was continued throughout the day.
New York, Nov. 21.-Between 2and
3 O'Clock the depression in stocks con-
tinued. Fluctuations have been wild,
and great jumps of two or three per-
cent. have occurred without exciting
comment or surprise. Kansas and
Northern common Topped down to 81
and Iron Mountain to 34c, and still no
more failures were announced.
Edward Liyermore who suspended this
morning, has been a member of the
board for many years, and his house has
always been regarded safe one. 1t
was explained at his office that the
cause of the failure was due to the cul-
mination of circumstances likely at
such times, namely: A general decline
of ten per cent. and the Indifference on
the part of customers to respond with
on the call. Livermore is
a gentleman of wealth, but preferred
to close his doors rather than suffer
greater loss. He regards bis suspen-
sion as only temporary, and will resume
as soon as the furry is over.
