Accordance by the Foreign Bondholders.

The Richmond State Of the 21st informs
lis that the Council OF Foreign Bondholders
have advised the Governor, through their
agents in New York (the Funding Associa-
tion) that they accept the plan of settle
ment OF the public debt of Virginia, as pro-
vided in the bill passed by the General
Assembly. Mr.. French and Mr.. Ellis, di-
rectors OF the Funding Association of the
United States, were to have reached Rich
mond yesterday to confer with the Gov
ernor with regard to details, whose return
was expected by that time from his home
in Winchester, where he has been detained
some days by sickness. They will arrange
at once for the issue OF new bonds, and
will appoint an agent in Richmond for re-
eeiving certificates for funding. The new
bonds will be dated the 1st OF January,
1879, the principal payable forty years
thereafter, redeemable at the option of the
State after ten years, and bearing interest
at the rate of three per cent. per annum for
fen years, four per cent. for twenty years,
and five per cent. for ten years, payable in
the cities of Richmond, New York, and
London, on the first days Of July and jan
nary OF each year. Holders of old bonds
will have to have them funded in the new
bonds, through the Funding Associations,
at a cost to themselves OF one per cent.
photographers are in Richmond waiting to
put in bids for engraving the bonds.
The assurance contained in this announce
ment should be gratifying to every Virgin
ian, and cause a cessation Of agitation up
on the subject OF the State debt. The work
of settlement should be allowed to go on
as peaceably and speedily as possible and all
efforts to excite feeling and dissatisfaction
discomtenanced. We regard it as great
consummation for the State. and believe it
will date a new life for the old Common
wealth.

The engineer saw the bridge on fire as be

at his post, telling his fireman to jump. The
engine got across the bridge, but at last was
pulled back into the chasm, sixty feet deep,
where it was burned, with every car of the
train, nothing now remaining but a mass OF
smouldering ruins.
The two emigrants were caught among
the burning tmbers, but the train hands
succeeded in pulling one of them out, only
to die, however, after two hours of suffering.
His companion begged some one to kill him,
but he had to be left to his fate.
The conductor had a leg and several ribs

eineer escaped from the fiery furnace IN

The bridge was set on fire by tramps, who

State, the same results, in a comparative
sense, would now be witnessed. Our debt
would be lessened, our interest charge de-
creased, by legitimate operations, and the
credit Of the State advanced. Those in
power have not thought of the people. how
ever, whose sweat and toll support govern
ment. They have abused the trust reposed in
them, betrayed the people, and brought dis
credit and dishonor upon the State. All
the miserable caucus rings, which have
been controlling and directing the affairs of
the State, thought Of was to secure posi-
ton, that they might squander revenues,
without thought of the toiling masses
who were struggling to recover from the
disasters OF war, and at the same time,
preserve the honor of the State. Notwith-
standing their sacrifices and deprivations in
order to meet the demands of the tax
gatherers, they witnessed every year an in
crease of their burdens, and the future
growing darker and darker. The nation
was growingin prosperity credit improving,
debt and interest decreasing, under Repub-
lican control, while everything was on the
downward plunge in Virginia-the people
being robbed of their hard earnings, business
Frustrated, energy paralyzed and character
impaired by the reckless demagogues who
have been directing her affairs.
This lesson should not be lost upon the
people OF Virginia. They, too, may enter
upon career of prosperity by those who
pay the taxes seeing to it that the caucus
is crushed out, and men who feel an inter-
est iii the material affairs of the.State, and
whose own concerns are identified with the
masses of the people, are selected to man
age their affairs at Richmond. 1t is q burn
| ing shame that the toiling, struggling people
| of Virginia have been so wronged and out
ragged by those who have thrust themselves
into power by clamorous appeals to pas

may be restored to the distracted State. Let
them give the people the reasons for their
position and the influences which brought
them to their respective conclusions, so that
an intelligent understanding Of the subject
may be had, and if possible all cause of
difference and contention removed. If the
people indicate a willingness to support and
stand by the settlement, and the creditors
should fail to do their part, then the blame
will be with them and not the State, and
where the blame lies. there will the respon-
sibility be located.
The people have been wronged and de-
ceived before, by their own representatives.
Their patience and endurance have been
tested as never were men tested. before
The revenues derived from thier labor have
been squandered and frittered away by
those delegated to guard and protect them
-the debt has increased-the credit OF the
State almost destroyed, by the immoral
demagogues who thought more OF the gam
bling dens than of their constituents. 1t
will not do for them to be deceived again
and their interests sported with. There is
an earnest desire to settle the debt contro-
versy, and we believe the present basis,
when rightly understood by those who now
oppose it, will be accepted and its full and
complete ratification insisted upon. The
| bondholders must do their part, and that
without hesitation. There are those i'll Viz
ginia who have been clamoring about the
honor of the State and the dishonor OF the
people, who hesitate at giving up the noml-
nal advantage they hold under the law OF
1871. We have very little respect for that
kind of selfishness, and the sooner they I'M
derstand the feeling whichis aroused by their
Inconsistency and duplicity, the better it
will be for them. The people have endured
enough already-have suffered enough-and
it is not unreasonable that those who hold
her obligations, should be governed by
spirit of concession and equity. There will
be and should be no increase OF the amount
of taxation. The present burdens are as
much as the people can bear, consistent
with healthy political existence 1t is as
much as they will bear, and to that end let
| all address their calculations and expecta-
| tons.
