"Gratifying" indeed. But what has be-
come Of the "impossibility OF double

any in Augusta! II you want to get at the

change your men-get some new ones.

that set, fair trial, and they have failed.
Now just SET 'em back and pick out some
new men out of yonr ranks Men and

We have been thinking lately that there is
quite an analogy between Don QuiXotc and
Parson Massey. The former mistook wind
mills for giants, the latter mistakes sacred
contract for brokers' bill. The former
was attended by q faithful Squire-the
brains OF the combination. 50 Is the latter:
The former had DulSinea-the adored Oh
his soul The latter dotes oil the WIDOW
Malone. The Don bad Balsam-asp ecluc
for wounds and diseases. The latter has an
antidote for all debt-incumbered people. 1t
is called, for the sake Of politcness, " read
iustment," which, being translated into
mother tongue, means reputation. The
first occasion the former had for the use OF
his medicine it came near puking him 10
death, and we may infer from analogy that
the first time our modern knight has an oc-
casion to administer his to the people OF
Virginia it will have like effect. But
want of space prevents our noticing the
points OF resemblance further. The only
points of difference we have been able
to discover between the two heroes
seem to be these: Don Quixote was, un'
doubtedly crazy. The modern knight is
not 1.-THE more's the pity, il there be any
hereafter). Ceramics here was dreadiully
in earnest through noble motives. The lat
ter cannot be, for the simple reason thai
there is nothing noble in the theme he adj
yocates. if., -
AT this point, we drop the subject for the
present. Meanwhile we will look up oui
Donkey Quixote and see il we cannot dis
cover other points OF resemblance.-Chat

We honor the representative OF the Nor
folk district for the promptness with when
he took the stump upon the subject OF the
pending agitation. He plumbed the track
like true Virginian and honest man, as ne
is. in favor Of the debt settlement and the
faithful performance of the Common
weaJtb's obligations under the contract that
has been solemnly made. He is not the man
to give The slightest. countenance or support
to anything that would squint towards IN
fidelity to public honor, and he is too faith
full to the order and time-bonored instltu-
tons of the State TO do anything or approve
any act that could for moment put them
in peril or impair the public peace and dig
nifty. he will be heard and felt in Virginia
on the side of the Commonwealth in this
campaign-rely upon that. &c.,.

The utterly hopeless canvass that is now
being forced on the people OF Virginia by
party OF politicians hardly exceeding 4
dozen in number can have no result but
Unreasonable harm to the State. 1t Is
but the leavings OF i move that has been
full OF empty promises and professions on
the part of the movcrs-nothing but the
tail of the Scotched snake. What have
they said that has been realized? Think
for momcntl They said in the beginning
that the debt Virginia was bound for was
sixty millions And that while the credit
ors wouldn't abate a iot OF it, legislation
could reduce it. 1t has turned out that
the creditors have come forward OF their
own proposition to accept about one half
that amount as the principal OF the debt,
and about one hall OF the interest; but
that legislation has been totally unavall-
ing to reduce it one cent, They said that
il YOU would elect Readiuster Legsla-
ture the debt question would be settled
forever. You did elect a Readiuster Legis-
lature. in which the opposition was largely
in the minority; it did adopt 4 settle
ment, and now the agitation is started
again by the same men, and with the
same idle promises in their mouths. Their
leader, General Malone, who is also in the
field again, said to you these words 1--WE
COPY them from his own organ): 81 would
use my best cndeayors to secure vote OF
the people sanclioning 4 settlement at three
per cent. for forty-tive years on the basis OF
S32, 977, O9O.02." The debt is just that
amount and the present interest Just what
he named, and yet another leader tells you
you can't pay the three per cent. without
raising taxes, and the State will get stalled
on the first effort. -Staunton Vindicat0r.

The True Conservative Position.

In the following paragraph the AleXan-
dria Gazette condenses the argument in
favor of the action OF the State Central Com
mittee into nutshell. That excellent paper
says: ...".
Yesterdays action Of the State Conserva.
tive Committee was probably as wise as
could have been taken. This is free eoun'
try, and people here are responsible TO lie
other tribunal save their own conscienccs
for their political conduct. The Readiust-
ers, therefore, have perfect right to or
ganize party, to attract TO 1t as much Re-
publican aud co!ored support as they can,
and to elect their candidates, il possible,
even il their success shall result in repu.
dating the States debt, disorganizing her
courts, throwing her finances into utter
confusion, still further damaging the credit
and reputation Of her people both in their
corporate and individual capacity, and in
definitely proonSing the exclusion OF CAPT.
tai and immigration from her borders. They
have, we say, right to do all this, pro-
vided they can secure the requisite number
OF votes. and the right to try to do it, il
they cannot; but no reasonable man
could have supposed that the Conservative
party in the State was willing TO allow them
to attempt it under cover Of its own organ
izution. The Conservatives OF Virginia
have persistently and continuously endea.
yored to defend the honor and preserve the
credit of the State since their party was or.
ganized, and it could not have been ex-
pected that at this late day, and that too
after they have effected, on honorable and
satisfactory terms to her creditors, most
advantageous settlement OF her indebted
ness, they would be willing to destroy in
one moment by lending themselves to any
such silly, wicked, and disastrous scheme,
the cnviable reputation they have won.
Let the Readiusters do all they can then,
but don't let them do it under the name
and by the sanction OF the Conservative
party.
Let us agree to separate. MASSEY, Ma
HONE, PAUL g. Co., do not belong to the
same party with such men as KEMPER,

WaIl Done.

The action Of the Conservative State Com
mittce on Yesterday endorsing the settle
ment OF the State debt by the last Leglsla-
ture will meet with the almost unanimous
appreciation Of the party throughout the
limits of the State. Some few, from pride
OF opinion or false notion OF consistency,
may still hold out to the obstinate and bit
ter end, but the Conservative party, as
party, endorses and fully approves the &C.

| tied so far, at least, as the Conservative
party is concerned. 1t is committed by its
Legislature and its executive representa-
tiyes to 4 firm and uncompromising sup
port OF the present bill. The highest Con-
servatiye authority, the committee ap-
pointed to represent and express its policy,
has pronounced in favor OF speedy and
! lust settlement Of the debt. and in doing SO
| it has but given voice TO the sentiments oil
nine tentbs Of the party it represents. The

face OF this expression from the Conserva-
tive State Committee, choose to take the

they are welcome to do it, and the coming
election will show which party represents
! the sentiments of the people. We arc sorry
| to see that the two members OF the ConSer-
vative Committee from this district opposed
| the adoption Of the preamble and rcsolu-
| tons. The people of this district are tired
OF this agitation. They approved and re-
joiced ut the honorable compromise effect
ed with the creditors OF the State, and
they desire now to see it fulfilled on our
part. The Readiusters in this part OF the
Commonwealth have always been small III
number, and ever since the settlement theE
have grown beautifully less. We 90 NOT
believe there is one man in ten OF the 9 Ia'-
fed voters of this district who would pc
willing TO have this question reopcneu;
They consider il settled upon wise anu
eouitable basis, and are ready TO ASSUME
their share OF the burden and carry IL OUT.
They have no sympathy with the agltatofs
who would reopen the matter.
We hone now our Conservative authorl-
tics will take steps to carry out the sugSe.-
tions Of the State Committee and see TO IL
that all candidates who aspire TO the CON
seryatiye nomination shall be sound on tne

LET'S the cat out OF the bag in the following
little sentence: -
"Tbe interest. however, under the

"And aoM be until the de6t IS Ju''ded.'
True for you. And who is agitatlng the
public mind to keep the debt from being
funded: Who is trying to compel Viz

terest in stead Of 100000? People OF Vir-

pay s1,214,OOo of interest annually ANITA

your legislators are in favor OF finishing
that funding as soon as possible?
