The Virginia "Peeraoe'' or Sketches of
Virgiaialas distinguished IN Virqinia's His
tory. BY RoBT. T. CRAIGHILL, OF
LYNCHBURG.
- This admirable book, the title of which
is calculated to mislead, is one of the most
interesting we have perused for many a.
day. Whether for the ingenuity of its au-
thor in collecting the prominent points in
the history and character of the distin-
guished men of whom it treats, or for the
smooth, fresh, attractive way in which he
brings that history and character forward,
it is most to be admired we cannot say,
but this we can vouch for that he who
takes up the book will not put it aside un-
til it is finished. This, the first volume.
gives sketches of Washington, Henry, JEFF
ferson. Marshall and Randolph-patriot
orator, statesman, jurist and eccentric pol
itician. They are treated with friendly
but not blind pen, and the author with
wonderful judgment has managed to con-
dense their histories into imperial photo
graphs.
The work is for sale at Hunter & Co.'S
the price $500, and it will be money we'll
invested as any of our readers will testify
who may purchase it.

In conclusion Senator Johnston says
that, entirely apart from political consid-
erations, the policy of the next admins
tration and the ambition of Gen. Malone
and his following.''a final adjustment OF
the debt of Virginia is an Indispensable
thing" The confusion about the bonds,
and these vary III denomination and rates
OF interest, demands this. if nothing else.
The Readjusters clamor about the poverty
OF the country. This Senator Johnston
shows, in quiet way, from the reports OF
the current census, to be an error, the
State having advanced 100000 in popula-
tlon, her towns and cities increased large
ly both in people and business, and yet, he
says, the Readjusters are continually whin.
ing about the poverty of Virginia, and de-
clare that "she is beggared in all her re-
sources"

would elect that gentleman. and his elec-
ton would give comfortable posi-
lions to few, but very few, followers of
Gen. Malone. The number of offices at
the Secretary's disposal is not large and
he would have to consider his own party
first.
The latest statement by the letter wri-
tiers for the Virginia slate is for Democrat
ic Gubernatorial nominee-Harrls, Goode.
Payne or Staples with Trigg of the South
west for 1t. Governor, and James Barbour
for Attorney General; for Readjuster can
didate for Governor-Wm. E. Cameron, Of
Petersburg, and for Republican candidate
for Goveruor-Gen. w. c. Wickham.
A correspondent Of the N. Y. "Times"
says if Gen. Garfeld's cabinet had been
obliged to be appointed on the LIST Of Jan.
uary, W. c. Wickham, of Virginia
would have had the position of Secretary
of the Navy.
Col. w. Cameron, of Petersburg, spent
a short time with Capt. II. H. Riddlete,
ger at Woodstock last week and was sere
naded by the Edinburg cornet band.
A correspondent of the Baltimore ''Sun'
writes from Washington that Gen. Ma
homes seat has been selected on the Dem
ocratlc side of the Senate, the one occu-
pied by Senator Pugh. OF Alabama, and
adds that it is rumored that Gen. Mahons
will ask the removal of Mr.. Peyton, ths
Executive clerk of the Senate, who during
the last campaign went on the stump and
severely criticised him. The correspon-
dent says that Senators of both parties say
that if the charge against Mr.. Peyton il
sustained he will be removed as a matter
of courtesy which has always prevailed
among Senators.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette" says that it having
been reported to the Senate Committee, t.
whom the appointments of DR.. Gilmer and
Mr.. Gray, of Virginia, were referred, thai
the former had written letter advising
The Republicans Of his State to vote the
Malone ticket at the recent election il
that State. and that the latter had deter
mined to appoint as his deputy Mr.
Thorne, who had advised a similar course
it is generally conceded that both thest
appointments Will be rejected.

PROVIDING AN ARMY POSITION
FOR GEN. GRANT.

L Ou 1LIv. olG1N
Gen. John A. Logan, z. S. Senator from
Illinois, and one of the famous Republican
Senatorial Syndicate" is making himself
conspicuous just now in urging the pas
sage of bill to place Gen. Grant on the
Army Retired List with the provision that
the President shall have authority to call
him into active duty with the rank of Gen
eral when he may consider that an emer-
gency has arisen requiring his services
No bill that we can recollect has been in
PRODUCED in Congress which would violate
so many existing laws if passed. Ex-Pres-
ident Grant is not soldier. is not disabled
by wounds OF disease, is not superannuated,
in short has no possible claim under the
laws of the country to place on the Re-
tired List. Gen. Logan proposes to pay
Grant full Generals pay, while the law
prescribes that retired officers shall only
receive three-quarter pay. The law pro-
vides that there shall be but one General
of the army, while Logan's bill empowers
the President, if he thinks proper, to make
two. 1t is hard to understand this de-
vourlng anxiety to give Gen. Grant an ar
my position, if only to put him in comfor-
table pecuniary circumstances. 1t cannot
be the poverty of a man who up to March
4th, 1877, had drawn $3.50, 900 of the pub
lie money as President. But if it is that,
then Senator Bayard 8 bill providing pen
! sion for all ex Presidents of the nation,
not confined to Gen. Grant alone would
it seems to us, be the better plan. Gen
Grant is now simply an ex-Presiaent, de-
| feated in his own party for denomination
and of late an active political stump speak.
er, whom his friends still hope to make 8
| candidate in 1884. 1t is not for such as this
that the Army Retired List was created
If all ex-Presidents are to be pensiOned
very we'll; it will at least prove that Re
publics are not ungrateful, though Jeffer
son, the author of the Declaration of In
dependence Washington, the Father Of
his country, Jackson, who first put his foot
down on secession and other Presidents
lived and died too early to experience that
| gratitude, but there can be no excuse fol
taking soldier who resigned to accept &
political Office, and placing him on the Ar
my list with the extraordinary provision
that he may be a General again if Presi
dent only happens to imagine that saita
BILE emergency has arisen.
In the meantime we would suggest to
those two Democratic Senators. Messrs
Hill and Lamar, who are so anxious tc
vote for Mr.. Logan's bill that they should
not be so previous" but should try and
curb their impatience until Senator Bay
ards bill is before the Senate. They art
not "concillating" anybody by it. The
Republican party has rejected Grant. and
since the Chicago convention, of the four
teen new Republican U. S. Senators elected
and old ones reelected, only one, Platt Of
New York, favored third term for thf
distinguished soldier who is now being
sought to be foisted on the country.

Gossip about Virginia Politics.

The newspapers and their correspon.
dents have good deal of gossip just now
about Virginia politics and, as matter Of
course, Gen. Malone. The Philadelphia
North American (stalwart Republican,
says s'The Republican party cannot afford
to receive Gen. Malone into its ranks
even on probation if the price is to be
the conformation of his great crime against
public honestly and that while it would
be desirable to have another Republican
vote in the Senate, yet "Republicanism is
not to be built up in the South by any such
means, and if it were, it would be at the
expense of Republicanism in the North. ,
Also speaking OF Gen. Malone, the Balti
more American" (Rep.) says "Most Ger.
tainly the Republican party should not
dicker with him for his Senatorial vote in
exchange for favor to the Readjuster party
in Virginia. Mr. Arthur A. Splitter.
Secretary of the Virginia Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee, writes to Mr.. TrimbIe,
of Washington, that ''If General Malone
means good to Virginia Republicans, the
way for him to prove 1t is to declare him.
self Republican; but the moment he does
it he becomes of no vatate to us, for he will
lose all his following by reason of that
very declaration in this State, and make
more solid the Bourbons." In the mean
time the Washington National "Republl-
can," virulent Republican organ, whose
editor is candidate for Clerk of the
Senate. is very favorable to Gen. Malone
and kindly to his Virginia followers, The

OF IGNORANCE

Nor does it propose that the general gov
eminent shall have any control of such
schools as receive their quota but that if
they do receive it, they shall also be open
to the inspection and supervision of rep
resentative of that government who shall re-
port on their methods, grade and operation.
The result Of his plan he says would be to
rapidly increase the number of men who
know how to vote, strike at the root of the
exodus by enabling the laborer to intel
ligently guard himself at home against
fraud; give an opportunity for reorganiz-
ing the Republican party of the South and
do away with its ''rings" designed simply
to gather crumbs of patronage and not in :
clined to court accessions of such talent
and character as might interfere with the
distribution Of those crumbs and pro =
mote national feeling in the South.
We have thus rapidly sketched Judge
Tourgee's plan adhering to his ideas and
even to his language as far as possible in
eondensing so lengthy a paper in order that
our readers may see what we think will be
the first practical move that will be made
to remove what we believe is the curse
of the South to-day and which is des-
tined If not cured to be its burden for
years to come, the dense mass of lgnora nee
that is cooped up within its borders Mr..
Tourgee gives the Republican, view Of its
benefits as is natura. but it is subject
that can be viewed above and apart from
all party advantage and it is important.
There are only two things in our opinion
that can be done for the Ignorance OF the
South-educate it or emigrate it. The
first can be done and the latter cannot.
About the first then we must all agree
though we may differ from Judge Tenrgee
and with each other on the method and |
the means.

O5. Now three and third per cent. ON
this reaches the great amount uf s1O.67S,-
TIA. Does Gen. Malone mean really to
tell the public that the people of Virginia
pay any such sum as that by tax on
property? He puts the tax for the State
at So. 100 600. What are the other eight
millions nearly for?
The report of the auditor, already quo
ted, shows that the total county and city
taxation in Virginia was only 81 1867 1886 :
OIL; which would leave more than seven
millions of dollars to come in under the
head Of Federal exactions." The total
tax on property for all purposes, levied by
the State, counties, cities and towns, only
aggregate s2979, S14.35 or less than 1 per
cent. Of the assessed value of the property
of the people. The ''Bourbons" or fund
ers'' are not responsible for Federal ex-
actions" if any are practiced.
There is one fact very material to be
known and understood in all this discus
sion about the debt of Virginia, and that
is that the large amount of 5000. 80
of it held by the commissioners of the
sinking fund was required by the McCul-
loch bill to be cancelled and extinguished,
thus Kidding the State forever of that
amount. (See report of second auditor for
1871 The Ridelberger bill, which is the
one the Readjusters passed and propose to
stand by, likes the debt at $19, 1865, 1856
which it declares to be the true amount
due.
Mr.. Johnston says: 'sIf the claims of
the Readjusters should appear, as insist
they do. unsound and incorrect as to mat
tiers of the debt and revenues and expen-
ditures of the State, are they more relia-
BILE in other respects?" He adds that, as
far as he car recOllect. no leading member
of the Readjusters was d member of the
reconstructed first Leg stature. LAS t.,
the boast" he says, I'm tde so loudly that
under the control of the adjusters, put
in Office year ago, the affairs of the State
have been better administered than form
erly, it must be borne in mind that under
che McCulloch bill the amount of So, 049,-
440.70 was funded in new bonds at three
per cent. which before that time bore six
per cent, Jhus reducing the interest one
half and effecting an annual saving to the
State of more than $24O. 900, of which two
thirds would be in tax receivable coupons,
Of the sum funded $105, 134 80 were pur-
chased for the sinking fund and have since
been cancelled. So that whereas before
the passage of the McCulloch bill the State
had to pay six per cent. on So 049 .449. 20, it
now paws three per cent. on 81 ,944. 314.8O
(see report of second auditor, 1879.
and it is the saving thus effected and the
saving by the retrenchment acts of the So
called s'Bourbon" Legislature of lS77-'7S

the treasury, aHHd not any skllllfgl Or wise
