The Re-adjusters have elected their
Governor-Cameron-in Virginia by
about 5000 majority, and cooper
;ting Legislature, which will re-adjust
the State debt. The new Legislature
will also elect a United States Senar
tor in 1888. The new financial pol
icy, as marked out, is to refund S20,-
100000 of the State debt at 3 per
cent. The question that is disturb
ing Virginia most is the debt cues
ton, and, properly or improperly, it
has got into politics. The advocates
of one side of the question are called
the Re-adjusters; they are the side
that carried the recent election. The
great debt that burdens the State was
mainly created before the war In
1861 the debt of the State was S41,-
100000. The debt of Pennsylvania
at the same date was nearly as great,
but under Republican rule, here in
Pennsylvania, and under the deve.-
opment of corporations and mining
and manufacturing interests the Re
publican management has been able
to reduce it more than one-half with
out once befouling their integrity by
4 thought of repudiating one cent of
principal or interest. Not so, how
ever, in Virginia In 1870 the debt
of Virginia had increased to S46,000,-
600. During the war West Virginia
was created. About 1870 one third
of the debt was assigned to West Vir
ginia for payment, but not agreed to
by the latter new State leaving about
S31, 100000 for the old part of the
State and over Sl5,000,000 for West
Virginia to pay; but the interest on
the S31. 500, 900 was not kept paid up.
and by 1874 the unpaid interest m
creased the Indebtedness over two
millions of dollars 1t was then pro-
posed to pay 4 per cent. of the inter
est in cash and 2 per cent. in State
certificates of Indebtedness, payable
when the State became able to pay
but that plan fell through. In 1877
the debt by the unpaid interest had
reached over S35,000,000, and then
began the talk of a re-adjustment of
the debt. In 1878 the Legislature
got its hand in, at reputation en-
actment, re-adjusting the debt, re-
quiring the debt-holders to give up
their s per cent. bonds, and take 3
per cent. 1S-year bonds or 4 per cent.
32vear bonds instead; but that mea-
suro did not pass. In 1S19a refund
Ilg act was passed. The principal
and interest of the portion of the
debt assigned 10 West Virginia was
set aside. repudiated, and the inter
est on the debt of Old Virginia was
reduced from 6 20 4 per cent. That
is as near as we at this distance can
tell the position of the Re-adjusters
ia. Virginia. Senator Mahon is one
of the chiefs of the Re-adjusters, and
the new proposition, as stated at the
head OF shis article, and as adopted
at the recent election, is to scale the
debt still lower by a new enactment
by the Legislature, bringing it down
to S29,000,0O0 st 3 per cent. The
Re-adjusters propose to organize a
new party throughout the South on
the policy as pursued i'll Virginia. 1t
is to the interest of every man to !

The trial of ,Guiteau, the murderer
of President Garfield, was begun on
Monday at 10 o'clock. The lawyers
for the murderer asked for q post
ponement of the trial, in order to
make better preparation for defense.
When the lawyers finished their plea
for more time, Guiteau arose and
said that he desired no further time,
that he is ready to have the case tried.
The Judge announced that the trial
should proceed. The next thing to
do was to obtain a jury. Some OF
the jurors called were rejected be-
cause they had formed fixed opinions,
others because they had eonscien-
scious scruples. By the time five
Jurors had been obtained the panel
was exhausted. An order was then
issued for the drawing of seventy
FIVE additional names from the box.
The murderer was about to address
the Court in his own defense, not so
much to influence the Court, but
more to have his speech printed in
the journals of the country, hoping
thereby to influence public favor in
his interest but the Court would
not listen to his proposed speech
The substance of his speech, as re-
ported from Washington, is that
nothing is more absurd than that he
murdered Garfield The President
was not fatally shot. Incompetent
doctors finished the work, and they
are responsible for the Presidents
death. The President was doing
great harm by the unwise use Of pat
ronage, and the Lord appointed him
TO remove the General. Deity order
ed him to fire the shot. He closed
his written speech by an appeal for
money to aid him in his defense.

From the n ational Live Stock Journal,
There is an increasing demand of
late for good saddle horses, and many
of the fairs this season are paying
much more attention than formerly
to this class. The gaits that espe-
cially commend horse for use in the
saddle are the walk, the fox trot, the
single foot and the rack. The walk
is gait understood by everybody,
but everybody does not understand
that a good saddle horse ought to be
able to 60 square mile at the rate
of ri,e miles an hour The fox trot
is faster than the square walk, and
the horse will usually take a few steps
at this gait when changing from a
fast walk to trot. The single foot
differs somewhat from the fox trot
and has been described as exactly in
termediate between the true trot and
the true walk. Each foot appears to
move independently of the other,
with sort of pit-apat, one-at-a-time
motion, and it is much faster gait
than the fox trot. The rack is very
nearly allied to the true pacing gait,
the difference being that in the latter
the hind foot keeps exact time with
the forefoot of the same side, making
it what has been called literal or
one -side-at-a-t time motion, while in the
former the hind foot touches the
ground slightly in advance of the
fore foot on the same side. The rack
is not SO fast gait as the true pace,
but is very desirable gait in sad
die horse.

Now that cows are about going into
winter quarters q hint about feeding
hay may not be out of place. We often
hear dairymen talk as if the height of
skill in taking care of COWS in The win
ter was to get all the hay down that is
possible to cram into them. 81 give my
cows all the good hay I can get them to
eat" is the toastful remark often heard
from spirited and aspiring dairyman,
though in doing SO be is wasting good
provender without promoting the best
welfare of his animals. 1t Is a good
thing to feed cows we'll and to be sure
that they have food enough to sustain
them fully, but it is neither wise nor
economical to crowd them with a great
bulk Of hay of any quality. 1t is not
wise to crowd any animal with q great
bulk OF coarse food Cows should have
no more hay than they have time to re-
masticate, and if this Is not enough for
their necessities they should have some
asy-digesting concentrated food along
with IT. The quantity of hay given
should never exceed what they will eat
up clear, and twice day is often enough
to give time for properly ruminating.

The New York Senatorial Con.e..

The situation in the senatorial contest at
Albany has not materially changed within
the week. Mr.. Conkling still holds his
thirty.two m en- to their work in spite of Pc
titions and protestations from their constitu-
ents. On Wednesday ex-Vice President
Wheeler's vote was pushed up to fifty, in
consequence of which the Democrats were
seized with a panic and dropped Jacobs,
their candidate for Conkling's seat, scattering
their ballots among dozen or more of fresh
names. The cause of their stampede was
the fear that Governor Cornell might hold
that, as Jacobs is plainly ineligible by the
terms of the state constitution, the votes
cast for him are void, and might issue a GER
tiicate of election to Wheeler as soon as he
should receive a majority of the valid votes
The caucus, when called, selected Mr.. Clark
son n. Potter as the Democratic candidate
for the short term. The -Conkling Re-
publicans appear to be hazarding their
chances by not uniting upon two candidates
and giving them their solid vote. If they
would do this, and one of those candidates
should be selected from the so-called stalwart
wing, there is probability that an election
hiBnt oe eHecIeu AT an early DAY. should
the legislature adjourn without an election,
the return of two Republican senator's to
Congress would become exceedingly doubt
full, since the small Republican majority in
the state at the last election would almost
inevitably disappear in consequence of the
present division in the party. Upon the re-
suit of the present contest at Albany, there
fore, rests the important question whether
the United States Senate is TO remain Re-
publican or fall back into the hands of the
Democrats. In view of this fact the Demo
Gratis in the legislature have agreed to vote
solidly in favor of adjournment as often as
the question comes up. 1t remains to be
seen whether the Conklingites, rather than
suffer the election of Senators favorable to
the administration, will deliberately play into
the hands of the Democrats by uniting with
them to force an adjournment We are not
prepared to believe that even Mr.. Conkling
is willing to resort to move SO utterly sui
cidal.
