IT will, perhaps Rstonish and crafty
some people to find that the devil is not
as black as he is painted, and some Of the
same feeling Of qualification aud surprise
will possibly be experienced by virgini.
ans who favor an equitable settlement Of
their State debt, over the future course OF
the Readjustes under Mahone's leader
ship. The result Of a recent visit to Rich
mond has had the effect Of shaking our
ia;th to considerable extent in the repre-
sensations made by their opponents con-
corning the Readjusters who have since
swept the old State.
By the conservative press Of Virginia
the new party has been represented as ar
rayed in open hostility against any settle
ment OF the State Indebtedness, and placed
in the attitude Of open and avowed repud-
iationists, careless and indifferent not
only concerning the honor Of the old
Commonwealth, but ready to sacrifice on
short notice the plainest principles Of
common honesty. Yetin reality the plat
forms OF the two parties on the debt ques-
ton were not so widely different. The
Funders proposedtop pay three per cent on
an agreed amount Of State Indebtedness
until fixed period, four per cent there
after until further fixed period, and five
per cent thereafter until an extinguish-
ment OF the State obligations was effected,
aud announced their ability TO do this
without increasing the present rate OF tax
alton throughout the State.
The Malone party argued that it was
impossible to carry out such plan with.
out an increase OF taxes, which the PEG.
pie OF the State were in no position at this
time to sustain, and proposed to pay three
per cent interest on the Indebtedness
without further increase Of such interest
until provision could be made for paying
the principal, pledging itself to raise the
taxes, II necessary, TO provide for paying
such interest. This we understand to be
the position Of the newly elected Senator
who is credited even by his political op
ponents, as being man Of personal integ
