the following points:
First, that he used his office as COVER

legislature Republican (which the people
had made Democratic; second, that he
bribed persons to go into the so-called
Packard legislature for the purpose of
making up quorum; third, that he was a
party TO the fraud by which members
were represented as being present in said
legislature on the day of the election of
senator who were il fact not present;
fourth, that he falsely claimed that there
was quorum of the so called legislature !;
fifth, that he bribed members Of the legis-
lature to vote for him, and sixth. that after
witnesses were summoned to Washington
he bribed them almost at the doors of the

The Louisiana senator will have until

ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS

A correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
publican writes to that paper defending
the action of Virginia in regulating her
state debt, claiming that the burden is too
heavy to bear. He says that the present
debt Of Virginia in round numbers is
S32, 100000 for the old state as it is; for
the whole. both Old Virginia and WestVir-
GINA. it is fully $4,000, 900. Now let US
see; the population of Old Virginia, with
out West Virginia, is about 100000
souls, men, women and children. A debt
of $32,000,00O would be about $50 for
every man. woman and child in Virginia.
There ares225, 900 voters 10 the state now,
making the state debt as McCulloch has
it, over $40 for every voter. Garry it a
little further: there are about 10000 col
ored voters, 10 Virginia. and good many
white voters, say IS O000 at least, who pay
very little taxes, leaving say about l00,-
600 tax payers to pay debt of $50, 000,-
900. or about $3l5 piece. A little fur
ther; there is collected every year 10
Virginia 50 100000 by the state officials,
and fully as much more for county and
6oWn purposes, making S0,OUU,UUU collect
ed annually out of some 225, 900 voters, or
about S22 apiece for every voter, and $50
apiece tax every year for every tax payer
10 the state. Can you wonder at any set
of people kicking against such a burden ?
Virginia, L believe, is decreasing in popu
lation every year, and | don't blame any
man for leaving with his property rather
than stay and get poorer every day"
