The fiI!busters have ilibustered IN vain.
Governor Holiday, by virtue OF the constl.
tutiotial authority vested In him, has recon.
yened the Legislature, mud the men WHO snau
boped to defeat the will OF the people OF
Virginia by parliamentary tactics find them
selves confronted ana fooled by the prompt
action OF our chief magistrate. COY
ernor Holiday has done many things
during bis term OF office to entitle
him TO the appreciation and gratitude OF the
neouIe OF this Commonwealth but this last
act is his browning glory. He has done his
fulI duty in this matter, nobly and unhesi-
tatipaly, and il the State Of Virginia is to
preserve her credit and good maine, as we
verify believe she will. to him above all
Others the credit will be due. :a
He has held the helm OF State during the
most tempestuous period the Common
wealth has ever yet encountered, and
though the clouds Of reputation have low
cred and the storms OF forcible rea1luSt-
ment threatened, he has stood by the
wheel the faithful, fearless pilot, setting
his course, In the path OF rectitude and
steering his ship By the chart OF honor.
So far Mt least we have sailed safely, and
though the adverse winds OF forcible re-
adjustment still delay and battle our safe
arrival in the harbor Of an honorable COM
promise, yet we know that in the end these
adverse currents must give way 10 fair
wind and tide that will bring us triumph
antly to- safe anchorage. a few days
more will exhaust the desperate and despair
ing strength Of the forcible readjusters and
witness the triumph Of the honest people OF
the Stute. We eau we'll afford TO wait that
time, satisfied, as we are, OF the final result.

OF Radicals, colored men, and the disaf-
fected of all parties in the State, as their

stands by him. The great majority OF the
voters at his own home are against him, and
The morning paper Of this city, hitherto with
him in good aud evil report, cannot now
swallow his programme, although it would
have us all deal gently with the "erring

The RcufYhO5lcrs, Bill.

The representatives OF the holders OF Vir-
ginia bonds have modified their original
proposition by extending the 8 per cent.
feature to ten years. This gives per cent.
for ten years. 4 per cent. for twenty years,
and per cent. for ten years. The bill was
taken up by the House Saturday, and made
the sEecial continuing order for yesterday.
That the bill will meet with strenuous OPP
position from these who don't want settle
ment on any terms we have no doubt; but
we are equally confident that there are
enough patriotic men in the Legislature
whether funders or rcadjusters-to forever
set at rest the agitation that for six years
has kept our people in 4 state OF suspense
and anxiety that has wellnigh driven them
into bankruptcy and ruin. From every
quarter OF the State the voice OF The people
raises itself in favor OF settlement, and
from the tone OF the press there can be no
doubt that they approve the proposition
contained in the bondholders' bill. Its libe-
rality cannot be questioned. The people
see it, and are ready to take advantage OF it..
They want the matter settled, and woe be-
tide the representative who trities with
their wishes.
This Legislature has the opportunity TO
make for itself record that viii ill one OF
the brightest pages in the history OF Virgil
