The propositions OF our Creditors.

The proposition submitted by our credi-
tors is one which we have no hesitation in
pronouncing more favorable to the State
than we had ant leipated. II it, Is not ae-
cepted at once by the Legislature that body
will be guilty Of q folly and a crime such as
has never been committed against people
by its representatives, This proposition
will at once reduce the amount OF interest
to be raised from S1,S00.000 to $500, 900. for
the term OF FIVE years; from S1,806, 900 to
81, 200, O00for the term or twenty-five years,
and from $1,000, 900 to $1,500, 900 for ten
years-in all, total eduction OF interest OF
So, 100000 and an average annual reduc-
tion OF $562,500. - -. -. ,.s.s ..l's.
For the first five years the reduction OF
interest will be 80 per cent. ] The most yio-
lent readiuster will not claim that the State
cannot pay per cent. on her Indebtedness.
At the end Of that five years we. shall be
called on under this contract to pay per
cent. for twentY-fiye years thereafter. This
we can surely do. And at the expiration OF
thirty years we shall be under obligation to
pay 5 per cent, On the other hand, IL. the
proposition is not adopted the coupon bonds,
alone amounting to 800, 0o0, 600, wilIrepre-
sent yearly interest, to be paid blythe State
or received by it for taxes, OF 81, 20e, 090,
besides the interest on the peelers and other
bonds. amounting to at least $40, oOo, 600 Of
principal more. &f,.<'sjt4f
There is no room for argument ON this
question. The only thing to be done is to
accept the4proposition: at once. 8 The man
who refuses or hesitates to do this is a re-
pudintionisJ who does not desire Orintent
10 pay anything. And yet.we see that the
committee Of conference have not yet made
up their minds to recommend to the sLegis
lature, the adoption Of the proposition
Such trifing is strangely out OF place /, al
such a time and on slteh subject. Such
an opportunity Of honorably compromising
the debt of Virginia will never again be
presented, and the men who should
throw away this opportunity would
earn for themselves an infamy thai
would follow them to the latest day
Of their lives, However, this compromise
may be opposed by those whowish to bring
about the ruin and disgrace Of the State
we have no fear but that it will be accepted
| bY the Legislature. The only fear we have
lis: the ,Inrepresented coupon bondholders
will not accede to it, and they will insls
on the per cent. their coupons secure them
| This is all we fear, and yet we hope that al
will enter into this scheme Of compromise
and settle forever this vexed question on !,
basis alike creditable and satisfactory to ell

FARM AND GARDEN.
Fall Flowing.

This is one Of the most important subjects,
and one certainly that should be carefully in
vesugated by farmers, Many farmers in the
county have adopted the practice with the
most satisfactory results IN every case so far
as we have been able to learn. The following
furnishes an additional argument for fall plow-
ing not unmportant:
In general, heavy clay lands should be
slowed in the fall. They need the alternate
freezing and thawing to pulverize them thor
0ughly. But sometimes the light sandy lands
stand IN great need OF a breaking-up, especial
ly if the crop Of weeds is well advanced.
The Ner EHgi0Hd Farmer believes in doing
all the hOeing possible before the crops are
planted This hoeing, it says can be best done
in the fall. All through the country are thous-
ands of fields that have been IN some crop dur
ing the summer which will not be cropped
again until next year. Corn fields, potato
fields and fields of grain that were not seeded
down, will all have to be powed next spring,
unless it is done this fall Now, great many
of these fields are more or less infested with
weeds some OF these weeds are late grown an
nuals that will be killed by frost, such as pig
weed, pursain, NORWOOD and many others,
but there are other weeds, like ox-eye daisy
white weed, wild turnip, peppergrass and es-
pecially sorrel, that will live over winter, and
be ready to start INTO active growth again in
the spring, before the SOIL will be in fit cOndi-
ton to pillow. If left to themselves, these
weeds Will obtain such hold upon the soil be-
fore next April or May rs to cause serious
trouble in the cultivation. Take field that
is well set with sorrcl, and let 1t lie till next
April, then pillow it while the weather Is cool
and the earth damp, and itmay be cross-plowed
as often as once week without making scarce
ly an impression upon it; but if such weeds
are turned in now and well covered from the
air, and so left all winter, they will die, or be
80 weakened that little stirring in the spring
will entirely finish them.
