THE COUNTY CONVENTION OF
Y. NJ. G. ASSOCIATIONS.

The soil of this vicinity seems excellent
for the growth of everything that is good.
There is first, a fine grass stand of morall-

crop of church congregations and now
mingled with them is an abundant yield
Of Young Mems Christian Associations.
1t is, we think, about five years ago that
the first Association, in Staunton, that
reached healthy manhood was started,
but from the first it received the sympathy
and personal interest of the people of Au-
gusta, SO that in reckoning up it's triumphs
the result must be shared with the county.
1t was not long before those gentlemen
from the county who had shown interest in
the Association in town bethought them
selves of inaugurating organizations
elsewhere and now there are four
Associations In Augusta, actively en-
gagged in a good work. Next Fri
day the delegates from all meet here
to confer on general and special
modes Of work, and to compare notes in
past well doing, which cannot fail of a
beneficial result to all. The cooperation
of several hundred of the best citizens of a
community in furthering the spread of the
highest standard of life ever revealed to
humanity is an event which enlists the
public interest, and our readers may feel
sure that that interest will not be barren
of fruit.

terror and violence that they are practl-
cally deprived of the elective franchise.
All that the solid South Wants is few
people in the North on any kind OF an is

their caucus, they can rule and govern this
country as they tried to through civil
war. The important question of the fu-
ture was the question of Southern dOmi-

receive at least three-fOurthS of the State Schoo

machine until a general change is made. -

THE FUNDING OF THE VIRGINIA
DEBT.

A firmer tone is noticeable in Virginia
securities as the funding progresses under
the new sbill. The Baltimore market, the
most prominent for them, shows marked
advance in prices. One Louise alone in
that city has already funded and contracted
to fund three quarters of million of the
old bonds. The ''Ten-F orties,'' the name
under which the new bonds are known,
have risen from 40 to 491. The tax receiv-
able coupons are quoted at 8Os with few
Offering; the coupon bond (of the $40, OOO,-
600 funded under the funding bill of 1871
at So; the peeler bond (of the 100000
which the holders failed to fund under the
law Of 1871 at 3l4, and the deferred GER
ti6cates assigned to West Virginia) at g..
1t is noticeable in the reports OF the Balti-
more market that few peeler bonds are
selling, from which the inference is that
the coupon bonds are being bought to be
used with the peelers to enable the ex-
change to be made, the law requiring ''two
consols to one peeler" to be offered when
application is made to exchange for the
new bonds.
