THE EXPORT 70 TURN VIRGINIA. OVER 10 The
RADICALS.
He then proceeded TO discuss the crlnlina'
folly Of the party claiming to be the Demo.
Gratis in irving TO turn over the state Oh
Virgins to the Radical party. 10 THIS coe'
~neellon. being In a tobacco region, ne aus
cnssed with great force the etfect.oi Inc IN
ternal. revenue laws upon that production,
and. under that head, the connection OF
Marshal Lewis aGdtbe United States courts
With these laws. He arralgned Ridule-
berger and Malone in q suitable way ior
their transactions in and about the Senate
He then
WENT FOR RIDDLEBERGER's BILL,
which he denounced as the most in'qnitous
niece of legislation ever devised In an en-
i,obtened country. He attacked especially
Inc fourteenth and fifteenth sections, show
ing how the property-man is allowed by TINS
n~eople's party to pay bis taxes in some con.
tinrencies at fifty cents on the dollar, ana
how the poor man Is prevented from paying
his Iury ticket, or fox scalp, or Common
wealth claim, towards bis taxes, being re-
ouired to pay IN gold, silver, loan ceTIlh'
Gates. &c.-in the latter at two for one
R%iddlebergel's only reply to this was that
n was no worse than the Allen amendment.
He then went for him on requiring ille'
Gal and unconstitutional taxes TO be paid
under protest, and the adjustment Of those
preventive writs which had stood the test
Of the wisdom OF ages, and bad never been
dispensed with until the Riddleberger oil
was Connected.
R-lDDLEBERGER, IN HIS REPLY,
fell far short OF expectation, for he had
been advertised in this section, and IL soon
became apparent that be was not equal 10
the occasion. His attempt to deieHd his
bill against Trigg's bold and lucid attack
was an absolute failure. In fact it was eyl.
dent 10 every one that be could not defend
II. He did not even attempt TO explain OF
Justify The fourteenth section. upon when
he had been arfaigned, and only spoke as to
the fifteenth, and tried to explain how the
debt was TO be reduced TO $40, 000, 900, and
did il In a way that nobody understood.
TRIGG ABRAIGSED HIN
upon a provision OF allowing tiducaries TO
invest i'm the bonds when be claims that the
State is sovereign not to pay also, for re-
curing the plates upon which repudiating
bonds were printed TO be preserved among
the archives of The State; that they ought
to he ground to powder as Moses bad done
with the golden calf. RiddIebeTger referred
to Hampton's vote for Kellogg. Trigg told
him that no Virginia senator had ever yoied
for Kellogg except Malone, who put him
over Lamar az chairman OF the Senate Com
mittee on Railroads. Riddleberger said, In
conclusion : "This has been an unprohta-
Bile day. You people know as much, OF
more, about readiustment as i do"
THE DEMOCRATS ENTHUsED.
The Democrats went away enthused and
up-headed.
Who is the Wing man, with the dyed
whiskers, going round With ~Riddlebereer
and holding a side.show. telling the people
that Daniel has given up the canyass-tha
be met him on the ears and he was paying
his own expenses, &c. THIS latter is about
the last thing the average repudiator wants
to do. He was duly aud completely set
back by one Of our countTymen who, when
he offered the Wing fol twenty-five cents,
offered the Dispatch for nothing.
ONE WHO HEARD IT.
