Of the debt than it has to pass q law taking

editors. So long as the Council OF Foreign
Bondholders and the Funding Association
Of the United States continue to presentthe
old bonds of the State according to the re-
auirements OF the law, they have contract
right to require the officers. OF the state 10
deliver them, ip their stead, the new Donos
OF the State issued according to the proVi-
sions OF. the law passed last winter--a con-
.tract-right which will be enforced by the
State and Federal courts whenever they are
applied to by the writ Of naanddmus.
Now, we want the Repealers to take no
tice OF this, and inform the public how they
propose to REPEAL the law passed last winter
and stop the funding OF the debt.

STANDARD SILVER DOLLARS Trea-
sury Department has sent instructions to
the Baltimore sub.treasury to hereafter pay
out standard silver dollars for all fractional
silver coin sent for exchange. For some
time persons who presented subsidiary
silver for exchange were required to take
proportion in standard dollars, and in this
way a good many were put afloat. They
have also been paid out on Government OBJ
legations to a considerable extent. The SUBJ
treasury has 100000 Of subsidiary silver,
weighing. over twenty tons, in the vaults.
This accumulation indicates that too much
silver change was afloat for the needs OF
business. The oven-lids," as the standard
dollars have been nicknaned by the money.
brokers, are creating scarcity OF one and
two-dollar green backs, because the silver is
kept moving and the paper is held.-Batta'

Confidence and Order.

Very decided progress has been made in
this Commonwealth in the line OF restora-
ton OF. peace and confidence. The debt
settlement has done a great deal in this way.
People look forward with entire faith 10
the early establishment OF the public credit,
and all know how decidedly the mainte-
nance OF the public credit benefits private
credit. When Virginia bonds are regarded
as solvent great advantage will be given to
the credit Of our people in the national COM
merce.
There is nothing so disturbing to the
faith In our integrity as those fiery discus
sions OF schemes for changing the form aud
the amount of our public debt. The out
side public always look upon those things
as movements tending to reputation, as
indeed they are.
The debt settlement intoxicating the idea
that there will not be a renewal Of these
hurtful debates, there is a degree of quiet
and hopefulness amongst our people never
before displayed by them since the war.
People look forward, we repeat, to the
placing OF the deb. upon a basis steady
and progressive, and feel assured that the
State will not again be embarrassed by obi
cations that cannot be met and eXpendi-
lures which cannot be provided for.
So there is now a state OF rest and sereni-
ty presenting great contrast with the con-
dition OF things this time last year. People
are not excited at all, but are getting ready
with deliberation and with entire faith in
their ability to take care Of their own gov
ernment, and place the representative re-
sponsibility in the hands of men who will
be actuated by the desire to promote the
public good. We feel that this will be done,
and that the men that are chosen this year
will be governed by higher motives than
mere personal ambition. Virginia ought to
find some relief from the tricks and c0ntri-
vances OF the merest tricksters who would
not hesitate to sell their State and their con-
stituents il by doing SO they could advance
their personal advantage. These unworthy
objects have been at the bottom Of oil our
trouble. and have engineered the low
tricks and vile demagogery which diffused
embarrassment and scattered troubles thick
ly over the land. Indeed, they have fear
fully deprayed the public mind and Inn
paired the public virtue.
A change for the better has taken place.
There are signs OF Improvement. Some
first-elass men-statesmen and patriots
are likely to be brought out; dthey who
may come forth in the hope Of plunging
the State anew into the perple&Itless OF
angry debates on impracticable and dis
honest propositions that will do no good to
anybody and inflict serious injury upon the
credit and the thrift OF our own people,
will, we predict, be brought to notifying
and inglorious defeat. II we do not make
q greater mistake than we ever made in our
lives, the intelligent and sincere people
who have homes and regulations to guard
and beloved Commonwealth to dignity
and bless by their devotion will take mat
tefsin their own hands, and win triumph
that will be lasting and glorious.

upou the common sympathy OF man the d''-
ties Of humanity should be in no case as
reearded and that at no time should any
man fail to do everything in his power to
ameliorate the social condition and guard
against calamities OF all kinds. No man VINO
fails in any degree In the performance OF
these high duties can be considered in every
sense true man--true 10 himself even as
well as to the people amongst whom ne
lives.
II these high duties were well performed
and people kept well fortified by sen-pos-
session and true understanding OF the
duty they owe to the community, there
would be less danger Of epidemic; ana
when it came there would be greater assur-
ance that it would be SO managed as that
there would be less suffering and fewer
deaths from it, aud that it would be all the
sooner brought to conclusion.
One thing we desire all men to remen-
Der that is, that there are many epidemics
that appear at different periods in our coun-
try. Some OF them are not much less alarm
ing than yelIow.fever in their severity ana
mortality. Therefore there is no good rea-
son for a stampede about yellow-fever, and
never an excuse for that exags Grated alarm
which lessons our sympathy for the dis
tressed or our ability and charity to minis
ter to the wants and the necessities OF the
afflicted. That's what we desire especially
to impress upon all. It would be great
social crime In any community so to neglect
the demands Of charity as that mortality
would be increased by the neglect.

UNcAs AND PARoLE.-London, July 49,
Mir. P. Lorillard's bay colt Uncas has gone
hopelessly lame, his near hook being the
seat of the trouble. His training has been
stopped for the season. Uncas accepted for
the Goodwood stakes, to be run on July
30th, and had all things gone well with him
be would have come to the post carrying
I02 pounds.

The late Prince Imperial. in his early
teens, read chiefly histories which treated of
his great-uncle's battles. No boy ever cared
so little for novels. Beyond the historical
romances of Alexandra Dumas and Walter
Scott he scarcely touched any works of fc-
ton at all. His temper was always exqui-
stely sweet. Whenever it was possible to
grant petition the Emperor was sure to do
80 if it came through his sons hands, for he
dotted on the boy, and would have let him
have bis own way in all things. The En-
press was rather trmer, and keptthe young

We have been frequently asked to give
our opinion OF and position GA the much
vexed pubic-deht question and main fea
lures OF the reSdiusters' party. We have
carefully avoided discussing this question
until such time as we thought discussion
would probably do some good. AS sena.
tors and delegates are about to be elected
again, and many OF them upon the debt
issue, we think that time has come.
That the debt is an honest one there can
be little doubt. II it is honest we should
pay it. 1t Is true that property has greatly
decreased in value since the debt was Gre
ated, but that does not release us from our
obligation. The bondbolders have recog-
nized our dilemma, and have made very
liberal offer to fund the debt at much
lower rate Of interest than we first agreed
to pay, besides deducting one third for
West Virginia, and half OF the back inter-
est which had accumulated so enormously.
This proposition was accepted byour rep
resentatives in the Legislature, and ap.
proved by the Governor, and the funding
has commenced. This is about the best
settlement we can make, 80 let us all go
earnestly to work and comply with Its pro-
visions. ..
AS to the forcible reSdjusting. repudi.
atlng-mOVemenu WHICH Is aS!taIiuS soine
portions of the State, it amounts to nothing
more than grand scheme of few disap'
pointed politicians to get possession OF the
State, rob her revenues, and blacken her
fair name. General Malone, who SO sue
cessfulIy bankrupted the Atlantic, Missis
sippi and Ohio railroad, is the ringleader Of
this new party, and all Of the lesser lights
move under bis direction. His object is ap.

choosing, also an organized party through.
out the State under his thumb. so that be
can be elected Governor, or, failing in this,
can be sent to the United States Senate. II
is bold movement, but one not at all likely
to succeed.
We would warn the good people OF Car
roll not to be gulled by the soft words or
fair promises Of the speakers that will be
sent here, but to stand firm, as they always
have, for truth, honesty, and Justice to all.
Let Carroll keep, deserve, and ever maintain
the name of the !" Banner County of Vir-
