Now and then we hear, as coming from
some member Of the General Assembly
who is serving his first term, and who feels
that he must DO something, no odds what
it is, the expression of determination to
abolish the APPELLATE court We do not be-
lieye such a proposition would receive the
support Of a half dozen members of either
house. The Supreme court has been so
over-run with business of late years, that
one and sometimes two and three years
elapse before even the simplest cases car
ricd before it are disposed of. The interests
Of litigants and Of the public, have greatly
suffered in consequence, and the idea of de.
stroying the only possible means Of relief
will meet the encouragement Of nobody
who has a proper conception of the public
wants.

among the people of our sca-coast towns,

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND DIR.
RUFFNER.

Or. Ruffner's opinion in regard to
the Public Schools is this-that un.
der the debt settlement, as proposed
by the McCulloch bill, the schools
can be kept up, and that If the bill
be repealed, the schools cannot be
maintained. We challenge refuta,
ton OF this statement.
1t is true there are some people SO
wise that they know more about DIR.
Rufner's opinions than the DIR. does
himself. But these people are alto
gether too wise. They are SO wise
that nobody can believe Q word they
say. They are much too wise to be,
lieve their own words even after they
themselves have sworn to them. No
one who knows DR.. Ruffner, would
doubt his word on any subject, and
especially in regard to the public

REPUDLATION IN VIRGINIA.

1t is very gratifying to us to be
able to copy into our columns, from
the Peoples AdUocate, such correct
and logical views on the debt ques-
ton, and the duty Of the colored peo-
pie respecting it, as are contained IN
the following article. AT time when
Negro voters need instruction and
guidance on this vital subject. and
when our efforts have been the sub
iect of harsh criticism and our motive
impeached as mercenary. it is tortu-
nate circumstance to be REINFORCED
by an ally 50 able and highly respec~
ted as the Ad0Ocdte. From its utter
ances our readers may learn that
principle is the same everywhere and
under all circumstances, and that
earnest allegiance to duty and right,
irrespective Of parties or mere polltl-
cal lines, is the controlling influence
among all good men Of AL races:
(Peopses advocate Of Washington, D. g.
The Lynchburg Tirgintan, has aimed to
assure the world that it is impossible for the
party of reputation now contendlng IN the
commonwealth Of Virginia for polite" as
ccndency, to succeed Without the aid oil the
Negro vote, the obvious inference being that
this party is an insignificant minority OF The
white voters OF the Old Dominion. Having
left that impression, 1t thereby seeks to es-
cape the odium Of repupiation by making the
Negro the scapegoat.
This is but fair specimen of Southern re-
gard for truth and honesty. In the first place,
any one who i at all familiar with recent
political history il the State should know
that the ''re-adiusters" number larger forces
with the white population than the "fun-
ders," and instead of the honor of the State
being IN danger from the vote Of the Negro,
it is his vote and that Of the white Republi-
cans that must be relied on to insure an hon
est settlement Of the debt question on the
basis of the McCulloch bill.
1t is true the Republicans, as rule, have
up to this point manifested a''masterly IN
activity" in the canvass, making few nomi'
nations and conducting no general campaign
they have hoped to see the factions of the
once powerful Conservative party of Virgin
Ia lash one another until they have the same
reciprocal affection that Tammany has fol
TIlden, or Ben Butler for Beacon Street
While this, under ordinary circumstances
wou be a good stroke Of policy, the welfare
Of The State is paramount to partisan cons
siderations. While republican interests
might be enhanced by this method, Virgin
las prosperity would be far more than II
could be remedied by any prospective reiet
through Republican ascendency. 1t is the
duty of every republican voter 10 poll his vote
for legislative candidates who want no more
tnkerng of The State debt in the way OF fur
ther "rc-adjusment.r 1t is better far FOL
the Republican party hat through its aid re-
pudiation be defeated than by indifference
the way be opened to further uncertainty
distrust, and financial disaster.
1t is especially the duty of the coloret
voters of Virginia not to listen to th'
sophistries and fallaces Of the read
iusters. The insinuation has been made
if the honor Of Virginia suffers, it vii
be through our ignorance or villiany."-
