all sides. Honor and generosity alike require
of the Assembly that they should come to
their relief by some prompt measure of eauali-
ty, effacing from our escutcheon the stigma of.
shame and disgrace for the rank injustice, with
which they have been denied, for a long course
OF years, the payments and recognition accord
ed'to creditors IN no wise more meretorious,
though more fortunate. But this is a narrow
ground for all the outcry about REIMBURSEMENT.
so far as the twenty odd millions of existing
consols are concerned, the notion of eaditst
ing them is nothing more than sscotAer and
trIfletta." The holders of these. as have
shewn are content and rest secure unon tbe
decisions ofthe highest courts of the land They
are only to be gotten rid of by bare and wick,

der
For all this, the Republicans are free of all
responsibility. Why should they at this late
day rush with unseemly haste into this strife
and take hand in composing it at the risk ct
losing measures and reforms far dearer to them?
Our national creed ranges US on the side OF
dabt-paying; and with us l trust it is not an
empty profession; but is backed by the cour-
eous determination to vote and bear taxes
when necessary to that end It is not now
possible to foresee the future of parties, or
the exigences OF duty, private and public, in
the coming campaign. Time alone, will de-
velop them, and enable US to discern the path
of honor and patriotism Hence, am glad
that our Central Committee declined on the
occasion of its late meeting in Richmond on
the 9Th inst, to make at this time
THE CALL OF REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
1t will be time enough to do so when the two
other parties have held theirs and made
their platforms for the canvass TO act before,
would be to act in the dark, and to deny our
selves all the lights which observation and refec
ton will surely bring 1t is, :herefore, idlenay
more, positively injurious to enter now upon
any discussion of our future obligations and
policy in the approaching campaign | have
gone as far as prudence admits, in indicating
my views on the now observable phases of this
contest; to go further at this time would be to
provoke antagonisms and torment bicker-
ings among ourselves which would be as I'M
profitable as mischievous. All the practical
questions of organization and selection of can
didates are gladly RENTED to the State Conven-
ton by A REPUBLICAN DEBT-PAYER.

Our usually correct and courteous cotempo-
rary of the Norfolk Ledger falls into grievous
error when it states that John F. Lewis as
serts that the new President is in thorough
sympathy with the Mahonites on the debt
question" Mr.. Lewis has never made any
such statement. On the contrary Gen. Gar
field sadvice is to ignore all questions that look
towards reputation in any form, and for the
Republicans of Virginia to give no counte-
nance to the reputation of the States honest
debt in any sense. But there are other ques-
tions on which the Republicans of Virginia
and otthe entire country are in sympathy with
Gen. Malone If they are forced to aid the
Re-adjusters in any way, it will be because
the party with which the Ledger is identified
will chose to make those other questions prom
inent, if not paramount in the canvass. Had
the Conservative party been faithful to the
pledges of the State, in respect to the rights in
volved in those other questions, the debt issue
would not be in its tangled condition. That
party has made disfranchisement because of
poverty, the whipping post, because it works
disfranchisement, and diversion of the schooT
fund in violation of the express command of
the Constitution, more prominent than the
debt question and the ''honor of Virginia. and
if the Republicans should follow the example
thus given them, who will be to blame but the
Conservative party? The Republicans of Vir-
ginia will properly define their position on the
debt question, which is practically out of the
contest, as no legislative action can affect the
decision of the courts as to the 1913 900, OF 0con
soils, and neither that party in Virginia nor the
at Washington will in any way
any steps towards reputation.
Whatever may be the determination of the
Of this State in their convention
counsels, it will be in the interest of the Con-
stitution and laws of the country and the rights
guaranteed thereby, which are of equal digni-
ty with any other issue, and which may be-
come live practical questions in a far more
impressive degree than the debt matter. The
Virginia Republicans will see to it that there
shall be nothing in their action to embarrass
The administration OF Gen. Garfield, or in con-
1ict with the avowed policy of the national
Republican party.

to meet an equitable arrangement of the
gregate paid last year.
Look at the subject from any standpoint.
and view it in any light, and there is no other
power in the Commonwealth that is respon-
sible for the bad faith of Virginia bnt the
Conservative party. If to the colored vote
is assumed the balance of power to deter
mine the question, it has been driven into
opposition by repeated and violent assaults
upon the rights of the colored race. If to
the power of the Democratic party, when
in unchallenged control of all depart
ments OF the State, it deliberately re-
fused to make provision for the wants of the
State and the claims of the creditor, And
it now seeks to escape from the RESPONSE
blity its own acts have created, and throw
it upon the negro vote which has been sti
fed. robbed and outraged in every form
that the ingenuity OF partizan hate and
greed could conceive, and the forms of leg
islation would tolerate.
The Conservative party cannot ESCAPE
from the responsibility of its supremacy in
the State of Virginia and the legislation
which it has enacted. 1t is heavy load
we know, and has already broken in
twain the authors of it, but the retribution
which is yet in store will be still more
fearful and destructive than any yet ex-
perienced. The Re-adjusters are trying to
crawl from under, and it is we'll that a re-
turning sense Of justice has thus directed
them. The Bourbons, stitf-necked and OBJ
durate, learning nothing and forgetting
nothing, will invoke a Judgment which will
for all time to come drive them from the
places of honor and the confidence of a
long-sutfering and deceived people.

The Coupon Case.

We take the liberty Of transferring to our
columns the following extract from private
letter written to the senior editor by one of
the most learned lawyers and profound jurists
In the State. 1t is profitable reading, at this
time, when the attempt is being made to Cir
cumscribe the scope and weaken the force of
the recent decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
III the Virginia coupon case. The letter says:
when l read in your last paper your lead
ing article on the State debt was amused to-
find how our minds had Jumped together
$50 far as the consol debt of 90 millions is
concerned, you truly characterize it in your
letter to me, as "a closed ISSUE Some of our
public men, who have not examined the au-
thorlties, pretend to believe that the decision
is limited to the pretence of taxing the bonds
through the coupons and does inhibit tax upon
the bond itself. But this view oyerlooks the
case of Murray VS.. City Of Charleston, rs U. S.
Reports p. 432, specially cited and relied on
by Justice Field. In that case it is broadly
declared 'thsst the provision in the Constitu-
ton that no State shall pass law impairing
the obligation of contracts, Is limitation up
on the taxing power of State as well as upon
its legislation, whatever form it may assume
The whole reasoning of that case applies as
strongly to State as to a municipality. A
few citations will shew this clearly. The Ian
guage of the transaction is said to be this:
True our assumption was to pay to you quar-
terly sum of money equal to six per cent.
per annum on the debt we owe you. Such
was our express engagement But we now
lessen our obligation Instead Of paying all
the interest to you, we retain part for our
selves, and substitute the part retained for
part of what we expressly promised you
THAT by such legislation the obligation of the
contract is impaired is manifest enough, I'M
less it can be held that there was some implied
reservation of right in the creditor to change
its TERMS right reserved when the contract
was made-unless some power was withheld
not expressed or disclosed, but which entered
into and limited the express undertaking.
But how that can below an express contract
can contain an implication or reservation,
directly contrary to the words OF the in
strument, has never yet been discovered.
we do not question the existence of State
power to levy taxes as claimed, SO far as it
is unrestrained by constitutional limitations.
But the power is not without limits, and one
of it's limitations is found in the clause of the |
Federal Constitution, that no State shall pass
a law impairing the obligations OF contracts. :"

~~>-
Ireland,

The connections in Ireland, and the force
bill which has been prepared and will be
adopted in 2arliament, ARE attracting atten-
ton and exciting sympathy in this coun-
try of an unusual nature. That there
is something radically wrong in the
course of England towards Ireland is
significantly evidenced by the declining
condition of Ireland. Notwithstanding
a kindly soil, an Industrious, frugal
and economical population, it is con-
tinually on the decline. In 1871 the popu-
lation of Ireland was S,175,l24 in 1851.
6,552, 1882; in 176l. 5,792,D55; in 1871,
5,412, 377, and since the last census, the
number has doubtless decreased in like ra-
ito. There must be something of serious
nature to cause this No people are more
attached to their native land than the
Irish, and yet they are annually hocking
from it to seek new homes in foreign coun-
tries, most of them in America. The force
bill is destined to drive thousands more of
them from their own country, for its provis-
ions are arbitrary, just as the policy of the
government has been short-sighted. In
stead of the force bill, had the land reform
prevailed, there might have been some
chance of of pacfying the Irish people,
Had reasonable modification been made in
the land legislation, and quie. had not been
restored, then the government might have
show of excuse for the force bill. The os-
tensible cause of commotion is what should
be first removed, and if that failed to in
spire feeling of respect for the govern
ment, then the Crown would be better forti-
fled in resorting to extreme measures. The
bill provides that the Lord Lieutenant shall
be invested with the right to have arrested
and imprisoned whomsoeyer he may judge to
have been guilty, either before or after the
passage of the Coercion Bill, OF treason,
violence, or intimidation. or of any act that
may lead to the commission of these Of
fences. The liberties of the l. ish people
are, by the bill, placed in hostile hands, and
force is the persuasion which is to be used
to bring about obedience and subordination
to the government. What is to be the result
it is difficult to foretell. England is already
beset with troubles of great magnitude in her
foreign provinces, drawing largely upon her
Exchequer and pilng upon the burthens of
her people. An invasion OF Ireland for the
purpose of furnishing that people for their
under the Ian l-tenant eXactions
and the hardships they entail, would be the
cause of large OUTLAWS and in no wise pac-
fly the people. 1t is indeed a lanentable
in which Ireland is now found,
and if the government should resort to ex-
treme measures a bloody resistance, but we
fear Intellectual. will in all probability be
made. We hope, in the name of humanity
and apart from our sympathy with the
Irish people, that pacific counsel will pre-
vail and the trouble may be bridged over
~ proper legislative relief. !

Capt. H. Fl. Riddleberger, in long, and we
will say able letter, addressed to some inquir-
ing friends, published in the last Woodstock
Vaayinsaaa, gives number ofsore thrusts tothe
late Conservative party and its management of
the affairs of the State. Of course he writes in
the interests of the Re-adjusters, and in stating
facts had to unearth the corruptions and inf
deity of the party of which he was promi-
nent member to the trust confded to it by a
deluded people. AS results of Re-adjuster pol
icy he says: 1.-THE clearing away ofthe rubbish
from the Capitol, discovering near half mil
lion of dollars of lost revenues through care
lessness and defaults; the exhibit of selfsus-
tanning penitentiary against a 100000 annual
outlay in past years. the close collection of the
revenues and reimbursement of the plundered
school fund to the amount of $4,000 in sin
gle year; the detection and exposure of 100000
embezzlement or theft of bonds and coupons,
have seriously impressed the people that Re-
adjustment is the synonym of reform and that
the tine has come for it."
If the Re-adjusters can do no other good,
knowing the facts by their connection with
the party that reigned, they can expose the cor
ruptions and shortcomings of the Conservative
party, and open the eyes of the people to the
rascallties which have been heaped upon them
in the name of Conservatism.
