More Facts and Less Fancy.

The debt issue involves interests of so
much magnitude to the people of Virginia,
that no discussion of it should be attempted
that does not convey to the popular mind a
proper estimation of its great importance.
The people are anxious to arrive at just
meet the equitable obligations of the State
fairly and squarely. There have been so
many contradictory statements as to the
revenues and liabilities which will accrue
under the McCulloch bill, and such va
fiety ofarguments used for andagainstit that
great confusion exists. 1t is to be regret
ted. therefore, that public speak ers, pre-
sumed to be able to enlighten their hear
ers as to the real facts of the case, should
seek more to excite merriment and ap-
plause than to reach the Judgment and
lodge in the understanding stubborn, in
disputable truths. Gen. Field, on Monday
last, struck the proper vein in what he had
to say to the people Of Augusta. He spoke
as one honestly convinced of the truth of
what he said, with no effort to direct the
audience from the gravity of the issue be-
fore them. 1t was the character of speech
which the great majority of those who re-
ally feel a deep concern for the credit and
reputation of the Commonwealth desired
to hear, because it contained information,
and the respectful and attentive hearing
given him demonstrated this fact.

The Fair.

Never before has the prospect been 81
hattering for our county Fair. The general
prosperity that is causing all kinds of bust
ness enterprises to look upward, will make
itself apparent ia more extensive exhibit
ton of manufactured articles that has ever
yet beeH witnessed. Already number Of
foreign establishments have made arrange
ments to exhibit their products. Last week,
Mr.. Bennett. agent for the celebrated manu-
factory of VIM. Knabe g. Co., Baltimore, SEE
cured space in the Rotunda for the exhibition
of the famous instruments of this establish
ment. In the centre of the building, the
most prominint location, the pianos will be
placed, and several musicians OF national
celebrity will perform on them, making one
of the most attractive features Of the fair.
Our countymen and farmers generally OF
the Valley, are also preparing to bring in
their products and the efforts being made by
the directory, and those who have charge OF
the races, will combine to make q success
that will eclipse all Of its predecessors.
Let every one who can bring something
and use their influence with their neighbors
md the result will well repay all trouble.

Rockingham Canvass.

The Rockingham canvass is about to open
lively. The candidates for the Senate,
Capt. Paul and Gen. Roller-both strong
men-will enter upon an active canvass at
once, and from the known energy and abil-
ity of both of them, and the well defined
lines separating their positions on the para
mount issue in the canvass, we may expect
an excitinga and interesting canvass between
them. We understand that Judge C. Il.
O'Ferral has been induced to announce
himself candidate for the Legislature. He
favors the McCulloch bill, which will bring
him in antagonism with DR.. Moffett.. Both
are good speakers, well posted on the main
issue to be discussed, and will make a
stirring campaign.
The other announced candidates for the
Legislature are Messrs. Harrison, Woods
and Barbee-the former two in opposition
to the McCulloch Bill and Mr.. Barbee is not
reported as having taken position either
for or against it as yet.

The President Among the People.

President Hayes has been taking a tour
through some OF the Western States, and
wherever be has gone warm and 'enthusi-
astic greeting has met him. During his alb
sence from Washington, this time, he has
INDUCED in a little practical speech making,
and given to his many hearers some excel
lent thoughts about business and politics.
At Youngstown, Ohio. his remarks were po-
litical, quoting largely from the late Presi-
dent Lincoln as to the theory Of our gov
eminent, and forcibly presenting the idea of
its nationality. At Detroit, his speech was
devoted to the business condition and pros
poets of the country in viii oh he adduced
official figures to show the healthy state OF
our finances and the encouraging results of
resumption. He dwelt,too. at length, on the
necessity of economy and prudence in the
management of State, municipal and pri-
vate affairs, and brought out prominently
the evil of the policy Of contracting debts
for posterity to pay. He contended that
each generation had burdens of its own to
bear, and should not be encountered with
mortgage created by the generation that had
preceded.
Wherever the President visited he was
met by immense concourses OF people. and
every evidence given of the esteem and con-
fidence of his fellow citizens, Indeed, Pres
ident Hayes has gradually and surely grown
in favor with the people ever since his inau-
guration, until TO- day, his popularity, based
upon his wise and statesmanlike administra-
ton OF the affairs of government, is equal to
that of any of his predecessors. The
firmness, the lIberality and the honesty OF
his official action and direction OF the affairs
Of the ration, has given a moral ne and
elevation to his administration, which has
won upon the people irrespective Of parties,
and placed it upon the very highest plane OF
governmental reform. 1t is that which
strikes to the hearts and conseienees of the
constituent body and explains the generous
greeting the President has met from the
great mass of the people, VINO properly es-
innate the value OF our Institutions when
wisely controlled aud administered.

THE SCHOOLS OF STAUNTON. - Justly
may Staunton feel proud of her educational
institutions. They form one o: the most at
tractive of the many attractive features
which make the place specially desirable as
home, for the parent who locates here may
feel confident of securing for his children
advantages which no other town in the STATE
afford. This year the promise OF the schools
is exceedingly flattering. The four female
seminaries have been well patronized, one
OF them, the Augusta, having already over
hundred pupils from distance, whilst the
others are fast approaching to that number.
The Catholic school, under the admirable
supervision of the Sisters, has its full quota.
Each of the three male academies are well
supplied, and the public schools number six
hundred and fifty pupils-a larger number
than has yet been in attendance so early in
the session.

official Corruption in Georgia

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ca, dated 10th,
gives gloomy account OF the condition oil
the official administration of the affairs OF
that State, under Democratic auspices. 1t
furnishes an instructive lesson to the blatant
Pecksniffs of that party, and especially in
! Georgia, who are constantly charging all
kinds of corruption againss Repubiiea rs,
without any proof to sustain them. IN or.
der to draw attention from the frauds they
| are perpetrating themselves. The dispatch
says:
'W. L. Goldsmith, late Control ler-Gener-
al, was sentenced to-day, in the presence of
a very large assemblage, to removal from
Office and disqualification. During the pro-
ceedipgs be and his many friends shed tears.
The House is pushing forward the impeach-
ment proceedings against Treasurer Renfree,
1t was to-day discussing the proprety of the
removal of John helms, principal Keeper of
the Penitentiary, for malfeasance in office.
when a member, in a fiery speech, declared
that not helms, but Gov. Colqult was guilty
principally, as he knew all that was going on
in Nems' office. This created sensation
on the floor and in the galleries. Another
member heartily approved the sentiment,
d1u Ou0F6u lSsOiuLlUuS ueClhrfUS UldC the
Governor is responsible to the people for this
wrong, and expressing severe condemnation
Of him. This caused great stir, and the
opponents of the resolution moved an ad-
journment, and succeeded in adjourning."
A later dispatch dated the Goth, says;
''The House to day almost Unanimously
voted down the resolution condemning Gov,
Colqutt for alleged corruption in regard to
the Office Of the principal keeper of the
pententiary, and passed resolution asking
the Governor to examine into the conduct of
that officer, and to take such action as he
may deem proper"
This relieves the Governor of suspicion Of
participating in the misdoings OF the other
State officers, but does not modify the fact
that huge frauds have been perpetrated upon
the people through the agency of the chosen
State officers,

A Word IN Season.

It is not always agreeable In times Of ac-
tive industry, to remind the community that
there usually follows periods of prostration.
We are too much engaged with the activi-
ties OF business, when a season OF prosper
ity visits us, to think of the coming reaction
which experience has taught us will surely
succeed. We do not like to anticipate mis-
fortune. in any shape or "borrow trouble"
from the future. But it is not out of place
to remind our readers that we cannot always
be upon the upward grade, and that pru>
dence and wise economy suggest we should
prepare for the contingencies which may
overtake US while We have it in our power to
do SOLVE are upon the eve of an era of extra
ordinary prosperity if not OF speculative ex-
travagance, which may continue for several
years to come, and it is proper to keep our
heads well balanced In playing our part in the
propitious dispensation we may soon fully re-
alize. 1t should be the studied policy of
every man to regulate his expenses by
the severest rules of prudence so that
from each days labor he may set apart a
portion of his earnings, to meet the emer-
gencies resulting from prospective depres'
sion in business enterprise. To judge from
the past, we will doubtless have several
years of unusual stir and adventure in in
dustlial undertakings, and during that Pc
Rod if every one who is blessed with health
and opportunity, would so regulate his do
nestle concerns as to make the outgo less than
the income, a judicious fund may be accu-
mulated with which to tide over any unfor-
seen mishaps either in domestic or business
affairs. The experience OF the recent past
and the pinchings OF poverty incident to the
prostration of all industr ial pursuits, are too
we'll remembered not to have left their i'm
preston and inculcated wise precaution
against the improyidence Of living too close
ly up to income. All who can, by any pos
sibIe economies, should regard it duty to
those depenGen. upon them, to lay aside a
part of their earnings, and thus fortify them
selves against any accident Of fortune or
emergency of business.
The habit of spending is sometimes as i'm
perious as the necessity, and it requires a
great deal of courage to conquer it. Method
in everything, and a proper schooling of in
clination and taste result In many benefits.
The habit of economizing may be so en-
couraged as to become part Of mans
self, influencing not only his own OUTLAWS,
but intoxicating prudence and system in
others. 1t is in this way that persons of
limited resources may be able to lay aside a
comfortable sum for the needs of hereafter,
and provide protection against the vicissi-
tudes OF the future.

We have seen the announcement of ap-

the other of the debt question for nearly all
the prominent men in Virginia, and espec-
tally for all the Conservative members of
Congress except Judge Harris. Why is this
It is question vital to Virginia, and no
public man can frame : satisfactory excuse
for not either opposing or supporting the bill
OF settlement. Further, the people will not
be satisfied with q .pon-committal position
on this important question, nor is It right
that any man claiming to represent Vir-
einia constituency should hold aloof from
the discussion that is now going on.
