harbors, building towns and palaces, al
Of which required immense sums Of
money. He sought large loans in, London
and Paris. He obtained them, though al
high rates of interest and heavy dis
counts. He was lavish in expenditure
and Indifferent as to cost.
But in 1875 his affairs had fallen into
confusion. Egyptian bonds were sinking
in the markets of Europe. Creditors
complained. An English commissioner
was deputed to look into his finances. TO
ascertain the debts and revenue Of Egypt.
The next year a commissioner of the
French bondholders was joined with the
English. Their investigations resulted
in showing an Egyptian debt amounting
to about iOO,090,00O, bearing interest at
nearly 2 per cent.
Finding that it would be hazardous to
allow the management of this immense
sum, nearly all OF which was due to Paris
and London, 10 remain under Egyptian
iinan iering, European commission was
appointed to take charge of the revenues
for its security and liquidation. Finally,
to make this management of the debt
more complete, the Khedive was required
to accept Ministry of three persons;
one of whom was to he an Egyptian as
the head, and one Englishman and one
Frenchman to be joined with him. OF
course this Ministry was instituted under
pressure, and entirely in the bondhold-
erS' interest.
Finding himself thus virtually held in
thraIl by his foreign Ministers, who were
levying excessive taxation upon the
Egyptian people. the Khediye deter
mined to reasscrt himself before his peo-
pie, and accordingly dismissed the for
eign members of his Ministry, and ap-
pointed native Egyptians in their stead.
Of course, this step aroused the Cabinets
of both France and England to an ener-
gctic consideration of the Egyptian
question:
AS yet these two governments have not
announced any definite course of action
in the ease. They have observed unusual
retlccnce concerning the matter. 1t was
supposed that the Sultan would be NJ
/ pcaled TO. But the London Times, the
other day, in discussing this matter, very
p0intedly says: "lhe Sultan must not I've
allowed to intervene" This is assuming
high grounds. ! assumes that the French
and English governments are to take ac
ton against Egypt as though the Khediyl
were an independent potentate, disregard
ing the Sultans sovereignty over the land
of Egypt,
Upon this basis, France and England
may enter upon sucll measures as will
establish European supremacy over all
of Egypt, and work a revolution in its
political condition to such extent as to
virtually separate it from the Turkish
crown. If 50, Egypt must become Eu-
ropeauizcd, and consequently be started
upon new system of civilization and
government. 1t were well for the world
ii that wonderful gateway of commerce
with the Orient were once placed under
Western rule. Then the land of Egypt
might once again become land of fatness

CHARLOTTESVILLE AFFAIRs.--The
Charlottesville s.Chronicle'' of Friday, has
the following items:
Marriage. Wednesday evening last
very large congregation assembled at

the marriage of Miss Eliza l.. g. Smith,
daughter of Prof. Francis HI. Smith, of the
University, and Mr.. W. W. Walker, Jr.,

A PRACTICAL TION.

A PRACTICAL IION.
The argument that adverse action by the
State on the debt would be an injury to
the interests of its citizens has been SO Of
ten repeated that they may have come to
regard it as having no practical effect. A
case has just occurred IN Norfolk which
will give our readers an idea of how it
works. The city of Norfolk has $500, 900
of her bonds falling due in 1881. Her in
terest is, we think. from 6 to s per cent,
chiefly like Staunton. the latter. AS the
ruling rate in the country now for such
excellent securities as Norfolk bonds (they
are at premium and she pays her inter-
est promptly is per cent. She has tried
to refund them at alower rate, or borrow
the money at lower rate and pay them
off. Before the recent election capital
list at the North had offered to take the
whole 100000 but waited to see the re-
suit in the State. 1t was unfavorable both
in Norfolk city and the State and he with
drew his offer. Since then circular to
the capitalists Of Boston, New York, Prov
idence and Baltimore asking proposals for
the new loan has met no favorable re-
Spouse and the city is now forwarding a
circular to the bondholders asking them
to take new bonds at the same high rate
of interest in place of those maturing. So
much for one practical, dollar and cents
result of the late election in Virginia.

THE CONFEDERATE CRlPPLES.
Neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic parties at Washington have dared
to dlsplace a crippled soldier of the oppo-
site party from Office. without at least put
ting another crippled soldier in. Some
how both at the North and the South
there has gathered around the mutilated
veterans such a sympathy as makes them
impregnable in Office and irresistible out
of it. Common humanity, a feeling of CON-
fmon brotherhood has erected for them a
barrier which it remained for the Read
juster party of Virginia. to dash aside in
favor Of negro from the State of Maine.
The Stonewall Brigade to which Arthur
Sullivan belonged. was largely RECRUITED in
Augusta and It's gallant survivors will re-

it by recalling the fact that Conservatives
in 1858 put in colored door-keepers will
not do. They found no crippled soldiers
in Office to turn out. Arthur Sullivan had
been faithful officer ten years and was
defeated by negro.
