Reputation In Virginia.


There are few Virginians residing in
this county who take great interest in what
ever concerns that once grand old State
Virginia, and we have noticed with no lit
tie concern the political conflict now going
on in your Legislature, especially as to your
financial affairs.
Your paper, containing the bill presented
to the Legislature by Senator Riddleberger,
has Just arrived, and Virginian OF some
ability and large financial experience, who
dlned with me Yesterday, read the till over
twice, and having done so. asked him
what he thought Of ii. He replied, after
some hesitation. that it was the most con-
pick and iDcomprehensible paper he ever
read, and the lamest effort to throw some.

place for holding national conventions. the

ONLY aI.itfla One.

The Dispatch, in speaking Of the "bill TO
reestablish the public credit, recently said ;
alt provides that large part OF the reve-
nues Of the State shall be separately col.
iected and paid into the Treasury 10 the
credit OF the public debt! Now, how much
better is this provision than are taX-receiva-
bic coupons? Here is cut-worm OF the
Treasury sure enough !"
Our good friend FOWLER, OF the Bristol
Ne,os, whom we are sorry to find in bad
company, responds to our taunt as follows ::
"Now, this feature thus treated by the
Dispatch gives two dollars OF the tax col
lecied 10 the State and one 10 the bond
holder, and It divides the license tax equally
between them. SO that every time the
bondholder grabs at dollar OF revenue he
gets less than hall Vi il. The State gets
more than half Of 1t toperpetuate its existence
on. 1t Is not for one moment on par with
the tax-roeeiyable coupon, which allows the
State nothing wathever until the bond
holder gets all he wants. Ii the Dispatch s
view he correct, that paper ought TO be
satisfied with it. We are very certain Il
will satisfy U.S."
We have already said that we are satisfied
with that feature of the RIDDLEBERGER bill !:
70 we need say no more on that point.
The NetcS puts in plea OF confession
and avoidance. The wrong is such small
one!-only one,dollar TO the bondholder for
every two that the State is to receive. We
beg leave TO remind Brother FowLEG that
IL was the principle OF the thing that we re-
ferred to. Nobody can point out q shade OF
difference in principle between allowing the
bondhoIders TO collect $1,000, 900 year in
as a facred fund which nobody but a
"bloa,ed bondboder" can touch. The one
allowed the bondholder nearly one half ID
the reyenue OF the State. The other al
lows btn nearly one third. The one
permitted him to collect his share OF the
taxes bimseH, either by selling bis coupons
TO the taxpayers or by paging them for his
taxes. The other collects his share OF the
tax@ for him, aud sets il apart rs too sacred
to be touched by the unholy hands Of Gov
ernor HOLIDAY, or the Legislature, or Dr.
RUffkER-as money that shah not be used
for the support OF the Executive Depart
ment, nor Of the Legislative Department,
nor OF the Judicial Department Of the
Government; nor Tor the maintersnce o'
the public schools. The one Is substan-
TALLY and practically the same "a the
other; unless, as We have said be-
fore, the friends Of tie RIDDLEBERSER
bill are acting In bad faith 10 the creditos
OF the State, and intend to add to the criEne
OF reputation q scorniuI ieer and taunt
ing reminder Of their powerlessness. This,
we repeat, We d. not credit.

Correspondence Of the Richmsnd Dispatcbl
FEBRUARY IG, 1880.
The County Court OF this county con-
vened TO day under the new rSgime.
Judge Dalngerfe'd, the newly. elected
Judge OF the Reddjusters, took his seat
promptly at the usual hour, and ordered the
sheriff TO make proclamation, which was
done.
Judge Garnett, the late incumbent, rose
and said he had protest TO offer, which he
wished to be entered upon the records OF
the court. at seemed by the act OF the
present Legislature Mr.. Daingcrfield had
been elected judge OF this court, and. he
had understood, by the order OF General
Malone took bis seat" Judge Daingertield
objected 10 the charge as discOurteOus to
him personally; that General Malone had
given no such order TO him, nor did he act
by any such authority. The protest was,
however, entered, with some little altera-
ton in the wording. Judge Daingcriield
then proceeded with the business Of the
court. had the grand jury called, and
charged them.
A case was then called, when we OF the
counsel objected 10 the jurisdiction OF the
Court. and asked that the case be continued
until the next term. Judge ID dngcTtield
thought there was no question about the
jurisdiction Of the Court. but after some lit
tie discussion consented TO 4 continuance.
Judge Daingerfield Is native OF this
county, and u descended through long
line OF ancestry from The most respectable
and highiy-esteemed citizens and officials Of
this county for more than a century. lie
has been successful practitioner at this
bar for many years, and during hI> long
career has not only won the respect and cs-
TEEN OF his CCnttfreS. tut Of the entire COM
munity. As a Christian gentleman. his life
has been worthy OF imitltIon: and in So
cial point Of view his universal urhanity
and JODbOnlD2c : won for him the appel

however, but from the promptings kind

Now the Wall street patriots began
saving the Union after the fashion Of
Gnanciers, by buying up 100000, 900 in
notes for $500, 900, 900 in gold-or at five
for three-and becoming the possessors of
$500, 100000 six per cent. non-taxable
bonds at the nominal cost of sixty cents
on the dollar-being a clear steal of 5000,
0O0, 900 while the nation was in the throes
of deadly and civil war-and the estab.
lishment of a privileged ariStocracy.
The business having thus far worked
well, it was Immediately repeated, only
on larger scale; and on March Sd and
June 30th, 1854, and March Sd, 1865. con.
gress on these several dates issued 81 ,087,-
9l1, 700 more of five.twenty bonds, with
the necessary amount of repudiated legal
tender notes to enable the bankers to gob-
bic up the bonds, which they did, as the
records will show-gold going up in July,
1864, to 285, and legal tenders going down
to zero, or less than forty cents on the dol
lar.
Thus almost the entire series of FIVE
twenty bonds, exceeding the sum of ST.
500, 900 900, was procured in the neighbof-
hood Of fifty cent, on the dollar, making a
total steal ON the whoc issue OF $3.50, 900,

MIDSUMMER.

White as blossom is the kerchief quaint
Over her sumptuOus shoulders lightly laid
Fairer than any picture men could paint,
In the cool orchards fragrant light and
shade.
She stands and waits: some pcnsive drcsn
enfolds
Her beauty sweet, and bows her radiant
head;
The delicate pale roses that she holds
Seem to have borrowed of her cheek their
red.
She waits, like come superb but dropping
flower,
To feel the touch Of morning and the sun,
And DER her head the glowing petals shower
And to her feet the shifting sunbeams run,
/ follow to her feet their pathway fine;
And while my voice the charmed silence
breaks,
What startled splendors from her deep eyes
shine!
Into what glory my rich flower awakes!

Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1880-09-02

From the McPherson freeman.
Last Saturday, Morris Creek, aged
about twelve years, Ed Wright, Fred
Simpson, and Vic. Aeggelund were play
ing about the Novelty elevator. The boys
were in the large bin from which the wheat
is run into cars. The bottom of the bin is
funnel shaped with spout in the center
through which the wheat passes into the
car. The boys have been accustomed to
stand on top of the wheat and ride down
as the wheat settled. When there is but
little wheat in the bin there is no danger;
but when there is large lot of wheat,
and the feed spout of the bin is open and
the grain pouring in, the danger is very
great. Both spouts were open Saturday
when Morris Creek jumped on to the wheat
for ride. He was carried down rapidly,
buried in the wheat, and suffocated in a
few minutes. The other boys called help,
which came, but not in time to save Nor
ris. He had been drawn down by The
suction and was buried some two or three
feet under the wheat He was taken out
as quickly as possible by the men who
were at work loading the car, but not in
time to save his life,

spearlng Sturgeon in San francesca Bay.
From the san Francisco Bulletin.


With the exception of the great Cana
dian rivers, San Francisco harbOr can
boast of larger variety Of big fish than
any other sheet Of water on the continent.
The sloughs IN the vicinity of Newark and
Alviso, on one side OF the bay, and San
Mateo and Redwood City, on the other,
abound in sturgeon, but it is only this
year that the fertile brain of the sports
man has devised new and interesting
means of capturing them, which has
raised them to the level of game fish. 1t
is the most exciting pastime that the am
ateur can indulge in, staying the sturgeon
as he should be slain, with keen spear and
a tub of clear line behind it, and strong
arm to send the barb well home. Ii has
just enough Of danger in it to make the
harpooner's pulses quicken when he poises
himself for the throw, and his crew rest
anxiously on their oars to await the result
of his aim.
The English sturgeon is men
toned in British books as a royal
fish, and, though he differs from his Cali.
forma brother, taking him with the spear
may rightfulIy be entitled a royal sport.
Those who would try their skill with the
sturgeon must provide first good spear.
Now, having his spear, if he never cast
one, little practice to get the hang of
