Element of the State debt question on
the basis of the McCulloch bill main
tain that the Barbour bill should have
been adopted, though that was confess
sedly no settlement at all of the debt

bill that it pays too much interest, when
it pays $25O.OOO less per annum than
would have been paid under the provi'
sion of the Barbour bill.
They object to the McCulloch bill be-
cause the coupons of the bonds are re-

G. T. SMITH OF NELSON AND FRAZIER
AND LADY OF ROCKBRIDGE.
Senator G. T. Smith of Nelson has
been taking part in the heated canvass
in Rockbridge. A correspondent of the
Lexington Gazette, giving an account Of
the discussion at Alone Mills, thus re-
ports the manner in which Senator
Smith repealed the charges made against
him by Messrs Jas. A. Frazier and Jno
B. Lady:
Mr. Smith said: "They had charged
that they bought me to vote for the Bar.
bour Bill, which bill myself and Other
true Readjusters voted for solely to get
it before the Court of Appeals and that
was in a saltpetre cave during the late
war. Both of these charges are base
and contemplate falsehoods. I was in
the Confederate service one way and
mother, as private soldier and officer,
during the whole war except for a pc
riod of more than year when 1 was q
paroled prisoner of war, and could not
fight without dishonor. The man who
even intimates that under any circum-
stances and on any conditions I was
ever bought or influenced by any other
than honorable and patriotic motives
and considerations is calumniator and
a liar. People of Rockbridge! 1 here
before you, and in their presence, brand
James A. Frazier and John B. LADY
on their foreheads as liars, scoundrels
and towards, that like Cain of old they
may be known from truthful, honest
and brave men by the mark 1 now put
upon them"

A good deal has been said about the
Allen amendment and the exemption
feature of the McCulloch bill.
The McCulloch bill says: "All obliga-
lions created under this act shall be for
ever exempt from all taxation, direct or
indirect, by the State, or by any county
or corporation therein, and this shall be
expressed on the face of the bonds"
The Fowler substitute exempts "both
principal and interest from taxation by
the State or county, or corporation
therein, which shall be expressed on the
face of the bonds"
So both exempt from taxation.
The Allen amendment reads as fol-
lows:
'In case the Auditor shall not be able
to borrow the sums needed, as aforesaid,
without security, he shall! be and Is
hereby authorized to hypothecate such
amounts of the said certificates as may
| be fixed on by the commissioners OF the
Sinking Fund at a value to be fixed as
aforesaid. but in no case to be at less
value than rs cents upon the dollar;
and in case of sale of said certificates,
whether they may have been so ny.
pothecated or not, they shall be offered
for sale in suitable and proportionate
amounts in the different counties, towns
and cities of this State, 80 far as practi-
cable, under regulations to be fixed by
the commissioners of the Sinking
Fund.-

Allen amendment:

follows:

debts, dues, and demands due the Com
monwealth in the manner herein pro-
vided."

in Mt. Crawford on the night of the 4th

brief extracts:
"ln order to have full and fair

tor, Dr. Moffett. to meet him in joint de-
date and he had refused. In presenting
the subject here and elsewhere he would

provisions of the 'BocOck-FOwler Bill,
and showed up the Inconsistency of the
Repealers in opposing the non-taxable
feature of the McCulloch settlement,
after supporting the same in the Bocock-
Fowler Bill, and in the Fowler substi-
tute to the Allen amendment. He pro-
nounced the coupon feature, SC obnox-
ious to the ReadJusters, a dead issue In
the canvass, inasmuch as it had been
fixed upon US by the act of 1871. the op.
ponents of this measure object to their re.
ceivability for taxes, and yet supported
the joint resolution to make school war
rants receivable in payment of such
dues to the State, and Mr.. Massey in
troduced bill. providing for the issue
by the State, of 5000. 900 annually in
tax-receivable certificates

Mr.. Mines, in which that gentleman
stated that Northern capitalists positive

ry forward important enterprises in

ROCKINGHAM CoUNTY.-The num-
Der of candidates for the House of Dele
gates in Rockingham who favored the
McCulloch settlement indicates that a
great change of sentiment has recently
taken place in favor of that settlement
in that county.
We observe that there are five candi-
dates for the House of Delegates who
support the McCulloch bill. There
should have been but two, that the votes
of the friends of the settlement might
be concentrated. With so many candi'
dates representing the settlement senti-
ment the victory may be lost. though 9
majority of the voters may favor the
settlement such, we fear, will be the
result. There are four other candidates
for the House of Delegates who are, We
suppose, Opposed to the settlement
though we have not seen any definite
statement of their views.
