The discouraging statement is now given
forth that the new waler-wOrks, which baYe
cost the city so much money and tue people
So much trouble, cannot under any circtlm-
stances be delivered 10 the authorities for
use under two more months. The story OF
the de,entions and disapp0intmenls that
have been experienced Is long one, ana
not very clear; but ii suffices to say
that the work was 10 have been
ready last August. At on time,
when both the old and new water-works
were out OF order. and the water supply
was both low and irregular, there was
good deal OF public excitement ana indie,
nation on the subject. The City Council
was very severely talked about then in con-
Dection with this Improvement, but IN the
new shape that town politics has taken 1t
is believed that one OF the most active IN
fineuces in opposition represents stronger
liouid than the Jane S-rlyer water.
Great interest is manifested in the Con-
servatiye mass meeting advertised 10 Oe
held at PAGES warehouse tomorrow nieht.
II Is hoped that The dissensions that exist III
the plrty will be assuaged at this meeting,
and that the Conservatives will enter the
contest with united and enthusiastic ranks.
Another meeting, OF another kind, from
which important results are anticipated, Is
the gathering of the people TO be held TO-
day at Campbell Courthouse. at which In
itia,ory steps are 10 be taken in regard TO
The proposed Lynchburg and Brookneal
railroad. The county seems wei! aroused
TO The importance Of this line, and active
men are at the head of the movement.
The Knights of Honor have paid to Mrs.
John NJ. Miller $4,000 as the benefit due on
the policy OF ner late husband.
The negro shot by Mr.. G. ID. Glass few
DAYS ago is reported TO be better, but Is stlli

Northern Cheek-The State Debt.

Editors Dispatch The Bourbons OF Nir-
ginia, "a our northern friends delight to
speak OF them uhe people who pay three
fourtbs il not fiye.siXths OF the taxes OF the
STATED, have been struggling for the last
eight or ten years to pay the state debt.
They have been baked in every effort they
made TO this end by Mr. Malone, his white
followers, and such negro allies as he could
gather under and around his reputation
flag. But for Mr.. Malone, aided by such
white men as he could enlist in his service,
backed up by his sable cohorts, the State
debt would long since have been fairly and
honorably settled.
In the mean time our dear, sweet north
ern friends have been denouncing the peo-
pie Of Virginia for not paying their honest
debts. They are still denouncing Us on ac-
count OF our alleged failure to meet these
debts, whilst they up North know, as well
as we down South know, that Mr.. Malone,
MIR. Riddeberger d Co., backed by the
negroes, have been the only obstacle In the
way of the settlement OF The State debt.
They say, In fact and In substance, that
whilst We, the people OF the North, think
that you, the people Of Virginia, are 0
mean, scuryy set for not paying your debts
yet we, the people OF the North, intend to
aid Mr.. Mahone and his followers In doing
the very thing that 1t would be disgraceiu
aud disreputable in you to do.
Irepeat what said before, that, as mat
tiers now stand, sincerely hope the Con
sentative party Of Virginia will make NJ
further dght over the State debt. Let 1t g

showing than We now have.

The Mahoneites' and Paulites' nomina-
tions for clerks and other officers OF this
great county have fallen still born. Their
Convention here Of adherents OF Malone
and Paul produced no "boOm," rs they had
anxiously expected aud hoped. Instead Of
this. the whole thing is already stamped
with the unmistakabe signs OF the popular
dsapproyal and OF complete and utter iall-
IRE. Farther and sli more gratifying than
this is the already patent flct that the aims,
designs, and selfish purposes OF this mlsera-
bic set of ofiice.seekers are becoming well
understood by the great mass OF our people,
some OF whom have heretofore been hon
estly following the political fortunes ana the
dishonest lead Of these selfish tricksters.
There is, we think, no mistake ABOUT lnls.
The mass OF our people are honest, ana
they have been slow 10 believe That
all this cry about "readiu>tment OF the
Stale debt" was simply sham and hypocrit-
zeal cant. They now begin to perceive that
the real purpose OF these demagogue agita-
tors has been, and still Is, to use the debt
agitation as a convenient hobby upon which
10 ride into Office. Our people see PLAINLY
now that the loud.mouthed Democracy OF
last summer (JMy.er), now illustrated by
vote and action with Republicans, is not the
kind OF Democracy cherished by the honest
people OF the Tenth Legion. And when
our people see under the gauzy ana nimsy
mask OF pretended patriotism the hideou'
