This we hope is, and will be proved to be, a
SANDER. We were pleased 10 see The Demo

settlers; and lie states our own experience,
90 far as we can learn, when he says they
are to a man for an honest settlement OF the
States Obligations, both as Il matter OF
policy and right.
The northern settlers here, OF all others,
one would suppose, would feel Indifferent
on this matter; yet, as they hope TO livo 10
see their adopted state prosperous and hon
ored, thcy wish to see her pay her honest
debts; and even it the McCulloch bill was

Smoked Out.

Parson MASSEY has ut last been smoked
ont Of his hole on the debt question. For
months ,;ast he has persistentIy refused to
answer any question propounded bin as to
his estimate of the amount of the State debt
and as to the percentage Of interest he is
willing to pay on it, and he has always
shirkcd the issue until Friday night last in
his discussion with W. f. c. GREGORY,
ESD, in Petersburg. He then and there
proclaimed that while the debt and inter-
est at the close of the war was 100000,
he thinks S10,000,00O was as much as Vir-
ginia ought to pay! He did not mention
bis amount Of interest, whether it was 5,
4, or ) per cent; but judging from his
low estimate OF the principal, we should
think it fair to suppose that ne would be
opposed to paying any interest at all.
A man who will thus publicly or pri-
vatcly proclaim himself in favor OF rob-
bling the public creditors Of State out Of
more than three fourths Of an honest debt
deserves to be branded with the most np-
probrious epithets of dishonor which the
English language can convey. That he
should be permitted to disgrace pulpit at
any place or time is an insult 10 sound morals
and good religion.

CORRESPONDENCE OF the Richm oud Dispatch
SEPTEMBER Is, 1879.
Since nv report OF Saturday morning it
has been discovered that the American Ho-
tel. called the Planters Hotel under the
management Of MeSsrS. Oaks q Church,
was also insured for $1,000 in the Germa-
MIA. OF Baltimore. 1t is estimated that the
loss or the building was $4,000, which is
fully covered by the insurance, and on the
furniture $1,000, which IS also covered by
insurance. The building was net totally
destroyed, us WIS reported about town at
mail-time Saturday morning, but portion
OF tue walls and OF the lower story is still
standing. The ruin was such, however,
that the remains cannot as they stand be in
any way utilized, and must be removed.
The saving OF any portion Of the building
and the escape ofthe adjoining buildings
is regarded as attributable 10 the Stiffness OF
the night and the energy Of the iremen.
Mr.. Massey came before the audience Sat-
urday night and excused himself from q
share in the -"services" on account OF i'll
ness. He was very hoarse, and said he
wished to avoid chill aud to save himself
for the discussion at Chatham. Major Gre
CORY was evidently disappointed, and the
audience. though very glad to hear from
him, would rather not have had solo. But
bespoke, and the audience applanded;, he
proposed to stop, but the audience would

Last Years Primary Election.

from the Richmond Wing, August Is, 1871
In this city about five out Of six OF the
Conservatives abstaired from the polls. In
Manchester nine-tenths did the same; and,
rs far US heard from the country, the pro-
portion Of abstainers is still greater. The
result, whatever it may be, will be pitiable,
and would be farcical, if serious issues were
not involved.
That was an attack upon the old hero JOE
JOHNSTON, who was nevertheless triumph
antly elected.
THIS YEARS PRIMARY ELECTION.
FROM the Richmond Wing, September l3, 1879.
Well, we know now how many voters
went TO the primary. How many stayed
away?
The vote this year was larger than that of
last year, and Of course the ticket will be
triumphantly elected.

" One of the PEOPLE"

This is much-abused term. 1t applied
without discrimination aud without pro
priety. "The people" ought to be consid
cred descriptive OF the average man -
average in intelligence and Representative
OF the frankness and sincerity OF honestly
and plaiDly-raised good people. BY NJ
means is it just or logical to conclude tina
some OF the people" must, because he is so
relapse into ideas that are opposed to plac
tical good sense and strict integrity. Or
the contrary, irankness and sincerity are Of
the family Of true virtues. They canno
exist with intelligence and yigor outside O.
these virtues.
We confess our sense OF the outrage COM
mitted by the "Destructives /" in inferrina
that the men "of the people" must be
Readiusters.' Nothing could be more
unjust. 1t is scandalous to suppose that
honesty and simplicity should entertain the
moustrous folIies and approve the outragcs
upon integrity which all those assailants OF
the public interests called Readiusters are
led to commit in all their action in support
L
education which is understood in Virginia
TO entitle man to be classed with the
"people' gives him both Intelligence and
virtue enough to make good citizen and
honest man-one who will maintain his
public ana private obligations, and who
will be armed against corruption, and who
will not be induced to infdelity to any Of
his relations in life by the offer OF per-
sonal advantage. This is one OF the peo-
pie; but the moment he proves untrue to
any of his public or private duties lie is
ilbet upon rllar CLASS convent,onally called
"the people," Virginia has educated her
people to know their obligations, social and
political, and those who are faithless are not
of that class, and it Is libel upon it to call
them the people.
The Old Virginia citizen has been known
time immemorial for being simple and sim
cere, honest, true, and humane. His class did
Justice, loved mercy, and feared the Lord.
Do we not all know this They loved III
ways their native land, and never failed to
be mindful OF their duty to the Common
wealth, to defend and to maintain it: to
maintain Its honor as well as to protect it
from invasion. What sort OF patriotism
would be that which perilled life to protect
the land and allowed the public honor to
die without an effort to defend it?
That man who would abandon the public
honor is not one Of the people according to
that noble education 80 well known as the
"old Virginia education.' He is no good
citizen, and should not dishonor the re-
spected name of the Virginia people y
by being called " one Of the people"

Clark Brown murdered his father and

Brown made full disclosure OF the crime.
He now says that be understood the minis
ter to promise him forgiveness at the bands
OF the law, to be followed by release, hut
he learns that spiritual pardon only was
meant, and he will probably be hanged on
his own confession.
Who pays for the extra copies Of the
