On hearing the rumors about the sale Of

dictate headed by Gould, MI. John W. Gar:

Death of Geo w. Frazier

Mr.. G.. w. Frazier, father of Revs. A .
j., j. Y. and Geo. A. Frazier, three
prominent ministers of the Holston Con-
ference, recently died at the residence of
his son, G. d. Frazier, in Abbs Valley,
Tazcwell County, Va. Most Of his life
was spent in Giles county, where his
family was reared, In 1875 he removed
to Abbs Valley where he was gathered
to his fathers at the age of II years. 1t
was not our lot TO be personally acquaint-
ed with him, but if a tree should be
judged by its fruit, he is worthy Of re-
membrance among men. Certainly the
trio of ministers, of which he was the
father, should reflect honor on any man.
We frequently meet with men whose re-
tiring, domestic and laborious habits are
such as to keep them largely from public
notice, and it is not until we " illness the
splendor Of their works by the success
achieved by their children that we come
to realize their virtues and their worth.
Such man we presume was the dcccas-
ed, Geo, w. Frazier. "Tyler" Frazier,
as his friends Ike to call him, is one of
the most eloquent diyines Of the Confer
ance, and one Of the most esteemed and
valued of them.

What the Tribune Saws.

The New York TRIBUNE, in speaking
of Gen. Malone and the Readlusters OF
Va, says
The basis of Cen Mahoue's policy Is
found In the fundamental assertion that
the State Of Virginia Is bankrupt. II Is
now taxed, he declares, M much M the
property Of the state Will bear; the tax
es are not sufficient TO pay anything like
the interest on the debt; neither the
Debt Payers nor any other party win
consent to make the taxation any heavi-
er. Now, on the assumption that this
is the literal fact, Il may be- safely affirm
cd that the bankrupt State Is entitled TO
use It's revenues
(l.) no discharge economically and
energeticnly all those necessary func-
tlone of Government without which n
State organization cannot exist,--to
preserve order, enforce justice, etc.
(2.) To malntain In reasonable vipor
rs common schools, and ils charitable
institutions.
(3.) All lts remaining resources
should be faithfully applied to the pay
mcnt Of rs actual, legal indebtedness
That is business This ls iust what
the Bristol NEWS has for ten years been
declaring This ia the corner rock Of
rcadluetment. No state has right to
pay commercial debts until she has done
these three things. Il would be lagrant-
~ dishonest to pay debt for borrowed
money until these obligations are dis
charged. The Fundcrs have simply
been reversing honesty, by rcpudiatng
The asylums aud the schools, to pay mon
ey lenders.

was % Dec, the officiating Clergyman,
Rev. David W. Carter, of the Holston
Conference, and there were $50 guests
at the wedding. A brilliant reception
was given at the residence Of Mr.. Joseph
Stras, Sr. Our friends who gave away the

which we regret our inability to accept,

to which the Old Diminion has been sub
iected, man capable Of leading ma
iority of the people should be found
equal to the task Of keeping them
squarely upon platform so Just as that

This document will teach our Rcpub-
licans in the North not TO believe Bour-
bon testimony against brave and patli-
0tiC eX-C0nlederates who refuse to aid
in rcactiOnurY schemes. The courageous
devotion Of General Malone and his fol-
lowers TO a free ballot, and their con-
tempt for u white-line policy in the face
Of the Fifteenth Amendment, their sup
port Of free schools for the children of
both races, and their opposition to the
onerous tax on the right to yoto--thcse
are hateful to The Bourbons. In the
nature Of things such men wonld have
the hearty cooperation Of Republicans.
TO prevent this, history has been per-
ycrled, facts ignored, and every effort
has been made to deiamc the Rcudjuslers
by charging Them with being rrpudia-

icct for paying the debt Of Virginia are
these same BcadjuSiers They have
confined their discussion hitherto to Vii-

A FRrENp sends us the 14th number Of
the Buchanan DEMOCRAT, and asks our
opinion of Its leader touching the debt
question. The article Is In the usual
Funder vein, and like all the suggestions
and plans of the Funders for the last ten
years, the plan of the DEMOCRAT will be
found failure. A party that declares
taxes must not be raised, and that gives
80 the consol holder n enedyit witholds
from the pecler holder, and leaves the
latter starving for ten years while 1t lis
tens 10 sentimental homiles on State
honor may be said to have failed. The
Fundae have, from ~ to 80, had pos
session of the State government and it
has paid the pecler holder nothing.
During thut period II has managed to
transfer to the pockets Of the brokers and
shavers one third Of the interest promis-
ed TO the consol holder. II has In the
meantime so arranged It that the strong
est and wealthlest tax payers could pay
their taxes more chcaply than the poor
ar ones. IL has invaded the stipend to
the lunatlcs and the children Of the State
to prolonE the period preceding the
breaking down of its policy. II has re-
pudiated its obligation TO the unlorlu-
nate subjects Of government, in order to
make partial and dlscrlminatlve pny-
ment 20 the most fortunate and heartless
class Of the bondholders. As to the sug-
Kestlon of the DEMocRAT, II Is either to
pay the whole debt, plead bankruptcy
or, (which It prcfcrs) do this;

release OF State from the "dcbt' We
