The movements have done an immense
amount Of work in the last months,
without doubt; but il has been|t0 little

Still. the Grant movement is not al

hitherto contemplated, but which they
might direct their attention to with

No Sympathy for Boilers.

Since the appearance Of the manifesto OF
the State Conservative Committee we have
ascertained the opinions thereon OF several
OF our leading citizens. Judge Watkins
thinks that the committee were bound to
act as they have done, and that the party
will gain in strength and unity. Captain
P. W. Mckinney cordially endorses the ac-
ton OF the committee, especially in the mat
ter of vigorous canvass against the Boilers.
R. 3. Berkeley, Esq, is much gratified at
the promptitude and yigor manifested by
the committee. Captain Il. q. Richardson
says the committee have saved the Conser-
vatiYe party from ruin and the State from
dishonOr. Hon. A. NJ. Cowan, Mayor Of
FarmyiIle, says the Boilers can do less harm
as open enemies than as treacherous friends.
L. G. Irving, Esq, our Conservative County
Superintendent, says no Bolter will be adj
mitted to the counsels OF the party in
Prince Edward. Colonel 3. w. L. Blan-
ton, of Cumberland county, says that in
bis county the Boilers will be dealt with as
public enemies. We have not seen Colonel
Fitzgerald, but can vouch that he is heart
and soul with the State Committee. Cap
tain F. II. Armistead is reioced at the
course of the committee, which he would
have heartily supported il present at its
deliberations. -FurnlUile Mercury.

SHIREMASTowN, CUMBERLAND COUNTY fA;'
August 13.-One OF the largest funerals
ever known in this valley occurred here to-
day. being that OF Mr.. Levi a. Smith, a
weIl-known farmer, who died from hydro
nhobla. On last 18th of July N1r. Smith no.
ticed sore on his little dog, and attempted
TO ascertain the extent OF it. In doing so
he was bitten in the finger, and, in return.
killed the dog. On Monday, August 4th,
he felt severe pain in his arm, and on
Tuesday the pain had reached bis shoulder
and back. he became quite i'll, and on the
following night sent for physician. Not
withstanding medical aid he became worse,
and on the following Thursday evening
deathended his sutferings, which were ago
nizing in the extreme. The funeral took
place from Mohler's church, there being 251
carriages in the procession, and over 600
people at the grave.
A number of mad.dogs are reported as
being at large about here now, and ma
iority of the farmers in this valley are kill.

CONSERVATIVES EBCHEs.

CoEsERvATIyE SPEECHES.
. On Monday last there was large attend
ance at court in the expectation OF great
Conservative gathering. The Hon. Thomas
S. Bocock delivered a magnificent Grafton
in defence OF the State-debt settlement. He
gave detailed history OF the bill, and
showed thar it was far more advantageous
to the people than either the Barbour bill or
the Bocock. Fowler bill. He said his friend
General Malone was the only person who
had proposed an increase OF taxation, and
proved by indisputabe facts that the Nc
Culloch bill places the State in solvent
condition without increasing taxation. Mr.
Bocock concluded with a splendid perora-
ton, in which he eloquently urged Virgin
ians that they could only hope to be happy
and prosperous by obeying the behcsts OF
duty. II Virginians would be loyal to duty,
then Old Virginia had glorious future
Mr.. Bocock resumed his seat amid I'M
mense applause. The Hon. James B. Flick
lin followed in O strong and effective speech
in support of the McCulloch bill and IN vim
dication Of his own support thereof. The
campaign has opened brilliantly in Buck
ingham and the Conservatives are highly
delighted, while the Boilers seem not only
"few and far between" but also generally
dispirited. -FarmuiHe Mercury.

These /" cut-worms OF the Treasury" are
nothing In the world but little pieces OF pa
DER which testify that the State OF. virginia
owes so many dollars to somebody who holds
one or more OF her bonds. When the state
receives ehem for taxes she merely taxes up
evidences Of her own debt, Just as ousl-
ness.man takesup bis notes when presented
TO him. And as il is honorable in the mer-
chant. or banker, or farmer, or mechanic,
or lawyer, or preacher. to take up bis notes
when they mature, so it is honorable IN the
State to take up her notes when they ma
ture. On the other band, as it would be
slisbouorable In man to refuse to take his
own notes in payment Of debts due by him
self, 1t would be equally dishonorab'e In
N fol n0teS
when they mature and are presented Tor

The greenback is United States Treas
ury note. For long time the United States
Government refused to receive these green.
backs for customs dues, though it had maze
them receivable for all other dues to the
Government and legal tender for private
debts. 4 coupon does not differ from
greenback in It's nature. Both are paper
evidences of debt. Virginia could have
them made in the. likeness Of bank-notes II
she bad chosen. They are receivable for all
debts due the State. And why should they
not be? There is no good reason why they
should not be. They serve as reminder
that economy 10 State expenditures is neces-
sary. But for the fact that the coupons
OF the bonds of 1871 were receivable
for all dues to the State, the public debt OF
Virginia might have been allowed to accu-
muIate immensely more than it has done.
The coupons on the MCCULLoCH bonds are
a guarantee to the people that if they will
ratify that settlement by their votes, the
entire interest upon all the public bonds,
consols and peelers, will be paid regularly.
The people can see to it themselves that the
taxes shall not be increased. Thus will
economy be forced upon the General AS
sembly. -..--.
The McCuLLoCH settlement promises
peace and prosperity. The agltators can
offer nothing but discord. trouble, disor-
dered State. dishonored State Court OF
Appeals, and an abortive attempt at an act
of reputation which the Supreme Court OF
the United States will trample into the dust
OF disgrace. 81,
