we are in any danger Of their bribing a
portion Of the Legislature to obtain a
settlement favorable TO them. They
tried that once and it has raised about
their ears a storm they are anxious TO
alky. Such an outrage would absolute
ly lead to reputation of the whole debt.
They are two smart to try that again. -
Instead of stopping REIMBURSEMENT in
that way, they would kindle fires ten
fold more furious. ANY settlement to
be of value to them must meet with the
appreciation of the people and their sa-
gacity will so dictate.
The death Of DR.. e. G. Robinson, one

the sidewalk, and, after telling who he
was and where he boarded became in
sensible and died in q short time. He
was buried in Norfolk on Tuesday
This ia the second death among the men,

preceding this lost much more heavily

dents of schools, receivable for
all taxes due the State. There is
very little doubt of the passage of
the bill. So that hereafter, these
certificates will be as valuable and
as much sought after by taxpayers
US are the tax,rcceivablc coupons.
It is true, that like the coupons,
they will sell ut discount, but it
is not likely the discount will be
large, and when the holders of
them approach the Treasury the
bondholder will meet his equal.

Our Richmond Letter.

RICHMOND, Jan. "a 1870
The Legislature IL in the treadmil OF
routine work. The friends of the Moi
felt liquor law are trying to perfect 1t In
the Senate, and this brings on the nc.
ton touching the repeal or continuance
of that measure. If It's friends are
strong enough to continue the system,
they Nre strong enough to amend it,
The debate thus far would seem to indi-
cate that there Is not the slightest chance
to repeal ii in the Senate, whatever the
situation In the House may be. To-day
there was breeze In the House over II
resolution, offered by Mr.. Frazier, of
Rockbndgc, to have q special committee
appointed to inquire who, among the
Senators and Delegates, are interested

DR.. Monctt had presented the State of
Virginia with the right to use the Regis

was by speedy and overwhelming vote
tabled. II was argued by some that the
House might with just as much proprlc-

Both the friends aud the enemies of the

vldlng for the forfeiture of the work,
