Action of the state Committee.

The proceedings of the State Executive
Committee of the Conservative party, which
met in Richmond last week, are Of the high
est Importance, and ought to be earnestly
pondered by every Conservative in the
State. .,.--. .-
In view OF the responsibility resting upon
the committee to maintain and preserve the
Conservative organization. we cannot see
how otherwise 1t could have discharged its
duty to the party and the State than by the
action it has taken.
twas confronted by faction of disap-
pointed seH.seekers and agitators, who un-
detook to set up new party by the Mo-
|zart-Hali Convention separate from ana IN
antagenism to the regular Conservative
party.
This agitation is now in progress, and IS
accomplishing great mischief TO every ih'
terest in the State. ~.
1t was too formidable to be ignored, ana
nothing was left the committee pus 10 meet
it boldly.
Tbe resolutions adopted set forth the I'M
.io.,htod fact that thelsettlement OF the debt,
Enewn AS the ,McOuEach act, which passed

forty OF 4bsth houses, was. in strict accord
apee with the ConstTHat tive 4pPs gramme and
nolisy. as set forth in State conservative
niatfoCm OF 1877, and that the party, as a

to Davis, when Longstreet, Orr.
Key and other Confederate leaders
had come in for honors at the
hands of the Republican party. Da-
Wis was a gallant soldier in the
Mexican war. His reputation there
would equal ali Grecian fame and
Roman glory. He would now scorn
to accept anything. He (Gardland }
desired to sign a receipt in full for
all Davis claims. Mr.. Hoar called
attention to the fact that Davis
friend in speaking for him said he
would scorn to be pensioner of the
country. Senator Bailey whined
humbly for peace and good will.
He begged Hoar to Withdraw his
amendment and not afront the
South. Maxey eulogized Davis
splendid record in Mexico. Even
Thurman did not see why Da
Wis should be excepted. He has
seen Ackerman, an ex-Confederate,
Grants Attorney General, Key in
Hayes Cabinet, and Mosby given q
good office. He saw no reason why
SO much indignation should come
from the Senator who represented a
State where treason had-been COM
batted long before the rebellion, and
where the constitution had been de-
nounced as compact with hell.
There was no reason why Davis
should be singled out as a martyr.
Twenty Legislatures have asked
that Mexican soldiers be pensioned,
and not one of them had asked that
Davis he excepted.

Wednesday-Senate-New bill by
NJ. Savage-Tv amend the State
Constitution. Proposes to so amend
article l, section L, that no DILL of
credit, note, coupon, or so-called
State bond, or evidence of debt,
bearing interest, and purpOrting to
be issued in the name of the State or
the people thereof, or for payment
of which the faith and credit of the
State is pledged, or for which the
people can be taxed, should be, di-
rectly or indirectly, emitted or is
sued by the Legislative authority of
the State, in time of peace nor in
time of war, only by vote of the
people, at the baliot-box, ratifying
a specific amount for war purposes.
Proposes to amend, further, that no
act of the General Assembly shall
be valid that shall attempt, or have
the effect to, directly or indi
rectly, sell, give, bargain away, less
en- or limit the taxing power of
succeeding General Assemblies, any
pretended contract, bargain, pledge,
charter or other matter, to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
By Mr.. Hanson-To regulate the
number of jurors Tor the trial

which the penalty is fine or impris-
onment.
BY Mr.. Morris-To compromise
and adjust the Indebtedness Of the
State debt by funding into new
bonds, at the rate of so cents on
the dollar of old bonds, in denomi
nations of 81, ZOO, with graded inter

years and then 6 per cent. to matu-
rity; also providing for the lssu
ance of warrants or treasury notes
of small denominations, to be ex
changed for the new bonds at the
pleasure of the holder.
Mr.. Snodgrass offered a bill in
the House on Monday providing for
a joint committee, who, with the
Governor shall settle with the bond
holders, which settlement shall be
submitted to the people for ratifica
ton or rejection, and if ratified,
then a called SESSION OF the Legisla-
ture shall provide the proper legisla- |
ton.
Mr.. Watkins offered a resolution
declaring that the present legisla
ture was not composed of lepudia-
tion;sts. 1t will require very strong |
resolutions TO convince the people
that it is not rotten with reputation
In the House Monday Mr.. Buch
anan of Eawrenre introduced a bill
to settle the de6t, 1t provides that
$4,000 Of bonds be funded at 100

Arrears of Pensions.

We make the following extract
from the Congressional proceedings
oil Monday:
The Senate took up a motion,
heretofore made, To consider the
vote by which the bill making APP
preparations to pay arrears OF PEN
sions was passed.
The Senate, yeas %, nays 81, re-
considered the vote by which the
bill was passed, and then reconsid-
cred the vote by which the Shields
amendment. placing the soldiers
and sailors of the Mexican war on
the same footing as soldiers and
sailors of the war OF 1912 as to pen
slons.
The question recurI ing on MIR.
Shields Amendment, Mr.. Mitchell
moved to amend that no person
who served in the Confederate
army or occupied n civil office un
der The confederate Government
shall be entitled To a pension un-
der this act.
The amendment was disagreed TO
Yeas "A, nays 70, a party vote,
with the exception that Messrs.
Conover and Patterson voted with
the democrats in the negative.
Mr.. HOar offered an amendment,
namely. provided that no pension
shall ever be paid under this act to
Jefferson Davis, late President of
the so-callea Southern Confeder-
acy."
The question was then taken on
the amendment of MIR. Shields as

SCHEDULE.
The Public Debt.

We to-day yield a very large por
ton of our space to an exhaustive
review Of Gov. Marks message
upon the State debt question.
Having published Gov. Marks
views in full and desiring that our
readers should have a chance to
read both sides of the question, we
yield the space willingly. We re-
gard it as a complete and over
whelming answer TO Governor
Marks. 1t rises above prejudice,
above demagoguery, above politics,
above sectionalism to true states
manship. There is no bomb ast, no
appeal to pi ejudice, no pandering
to one class against another, but a
manly, straightforward statement of
facts-cOnvincing and unanswera-
BILE. We beg every man TO read it..
Read il carefully and understand
ingly, and it will confirm you as a
State credit man, and convert you
if you are a repudiator. 1t meets
the sophistry Of Gov. Marks with
facts and figures at every point, and
Is positively unanswerable. The
vindication of Gov. Brown against
the vindictive assaults made upon
him by jealous and ungenerous ri
walls, is satisfactory and complete.
Both parties were committed 10 the
funding act in advance, and both
parties approved it after its pas
sage. Besides, even admitting that
it was bad policy, or even that its
passage was obtained by fraud, 1T is
not the great bugaboo some people
try to make 1t. Nine-t entbs of
the people who cry out against it
and Q Ill 1t job, a swindle, are real
ly ignorant both OF its provisions
and of It's results. The rayiew is
lengthy, but it will repay any man
to read il. We tried to curtail it.
but could not do so to any great
extent. Every paragraph 10 it is
pungent and pointed. Besides be-
ing an answer to Gov. Marks, it is
also a complete punishment" in ad
vance Of the legislative inquisito-
rial committee's report, whIch is
an Indictment agains st all the COVER
nors, ali the legislatures, all the rail
roads and all the state officials since
1924 rehash OF the message afore
said, and an absurd rehearsal of all
the radical charges of bribery
and corruption against former
democratic administrations, includ
ing Johnson's. Harris, Browns
a I'd others, spiced and interspersed
with few choice bits of sarcasm
against Brownlow, in order TO make
it i'stiek" on democratic stomachs. !

were not so humiliating.

Well Put.


The Courier journal, referring to
the Federal election laws and the
use made of them for putting
Southern Democrats into peniten-
tiaries, hits the nail fairly and
squarely on the head when it says,
"while the Republicans in Congress
are extojling the Federal law. aid
swearing by al the gods 'that the
humblest citizen or this republic
shall be protected Judges Settle,
Bond and Billings, in Florida,
Maryland and Louisiana, have been
packing Federal juries, and sending
scores of Democrats 60 the peniten-
tiary on the testimony of Hired
white and black perjurers. The
suggestive part of this zeal to pro
tect the humblest citizen (by send
ing him to jail) is that the Federal
election ia~ is used, as it was origi-
nally designed to ne used, exclu-
siYely against Southern Democrats.
The law was never intended to pro-
tect voters or the ballot box.-
1t was meant TO enable the Republi-
can party to steal ballots enough to
give them an election and arrest
enough Democrats to clear the way
for Republican fraud"

Courier Journal: In spite of the
House TO make appropriations to
pay Federal Constables to run the
elections of 1877 and 1873 in the
interest of the Republican party,
the Department CT Justice y hired
thousands of men to do the dirty
work, and filched all the money It
could from other appropriations to
pay them, but came out short
$3.50, 900, which the Senate has now
coolly asked the House to pay
The expenditure being wholly I'M

The repudiationists harp with
great JUNCTION and sanctimonious-
ness upon the $I4,64S,000 issued in
aid of our railroad system. and
charge that the sale # the States
interest in these roads for only So
6t8,000, thereby losing $7,95o,000,
was n gigantic fraud and swindle.
They do not seem to remember that
the State was losing money every
day by holding to these roads
that the people were paying heavy
taxes to keep them running, and
that in a few years the policy of
holdingto them would have cost dou-
bic as much as to let them go at the
enormous sacrifice above referred
to. Nevertheless, these are facts
which fair and honest men who
think fer themselves ought to con
slider. Nor 10 they for one single
moment stop TO estimate the bene-
fits received by the State in the
construction of these roads, nor do
they seem to think the State ought
to pay 4 single cent toward the per
lection of n grand system of i'm
provements, which not only in
creased her wealth three fold and
forty times its cost, but carried
churches. schools and civilization
into every nook and corner. They
talk loudly about the equities"
but they do not consider the real
equities in the case. They say we
are not able to pay, and yet our
ability is much greater than when
the debt was made, and greater be-
cause of the improvements and de-
velopments caused by the debt. But
they say some of the debt was
fraudulent. That is admitted. But
it is a small proportion and cannot
be distinguished. That has been
attempted by all the legislatures
since the war, including the present,
and all have failed. Besides, the
owners Of our bonds have volunta-
rily proposed to surrender larger
proportion of the debt than the most
unreasonable repudiator would dare |
TO charge was fraudulent They |
say the taxation necessary to com
promise would be burdensome, but |
never for moment consider the |
paralysis and decentralization which |
syOuld follow a deliberate and wiiful
population of debt which has |
brought us untold blessings and |
which will bless our posterity for
