4 TIE AWARDS FOR MERNos AT TIE
Estate FAIR.-There was some excite
ment caused by a protest entered
against the awards of the committee on
merinos at the state fair. The commit.
tee gave the first prize, a gold medal,
to o. IL Il. S. Hall of Randolph, and
the second prize, silver medal, and
4 The flock premium to l.. L. Clark of
4 Addison. III. II. Dean, on behalf of
Dean ~ Jennings, entered protest
2against this disposition of the matter,
(which was entertained by the directors.
4 MIR. Dean showed among other things,
that under rule of the society, Mr..
: Albert Chapman, one OF the committee,
could not legally act because he owned
Ia half interest in one ram in the Hall
flock. Before the directors, Mr.. Chan.
! man made an argument for sustaining
the action of the committee. The di-
1reclors, however. deemed the protest
well taken and dismissed the commit
tee, and appointed new committee,
consisting of Leslie Il. Moore of Shore
ham, j. Il. StickDey of Shoreham, aud
IN. T.. Tabor of East MONTPELIER. AS
the result of their examination they
awarded the gold medal TO the flock
3of Messrs. Dean a. Jennings. There
can be no doubt that inst award was
<not an easy matter, as all the four OK
hibits comprised many fine animals,
but the award of the new committee
7seems TO be generally accepted as the
1 correct one.

The Proper Course to Pursue.

AS the Lynchbnrg V5rginiam says,
unless the people of Virginia are pre-
pared to inaugurate revolution, by plac-
ing themselves outside the pale of the
law, and resisting the decisions of their
own highest court, and the Supreme
Court of the. United States, it would
really seem that the time has come to
disband the party of "forcible readjust-
ers," led by Gen. Malone, and to seek
other means of relief from the burthen
of debt that rests upon them. "Forci-
BILE readjustment" as we see, is out of
the question, unless we determine to
trample upon law, and contemn judi
cial decisions; and when, as people,
we reach that point in a downward
course, we shall be prepared for almost
any other measures of violence, and
Virginia, in that case, will no longer be
the Virginia of former times.
Assuming, for the sake of the argu,
ment, that there is no power any where,
to compel State to do justice to its
creditors, we would yet ask all thought
full men, whether they are willing to
countenance party in the State, that
defies the law, and scouts at the inter-
probation thereof given by the highest
judicial tribunals of the State and coun-
try, that are set for the purpose of secur-
ing the legal rights of every individual
citizap Q Hoo Viruinio OF, N b tn thot 1ou1
level! We fondly hope that she has
not, and that, Notwithstanding all that
has been said and written to debauch
the public mind and morals, better
sentiment will yet prevail.
We should therefore, discarding all
thought of "forcible readjustment," set
ourselves earnestly to the work of read
justing the debt with the consent of the
creditors, or SO avail ourselves of the
provisions of the Jaw, as will bring re-
lief to the people, and preserve the hon.
or of the State. The scheme is practi-
cable, and the way is easy, if all the
people will make the same exertion to
restore the credit of the State that some
have made to destroy it. Let us hear
no more of '.forcible readjustment,"
which is a dead issue; but in lieu of
that, let US resolve to raise the credit of
the State to such a pitch that we can
easily float 81 per cent. interest bearing
bonds, and thus solve the whole ques-
ton.

Tho State Debt.

In letter to the New York Tribune,
in reply to the recent manifesto of Gen
eral Malone, ex.Secretary McCulloch
demonstrates that, at the time and I'M
der the circumstances, the arrange
ments denounced by the readjusters were
about the best that could have been
made. AS stated by him, the terms Of
fered the State by her creditors were ex-
ceedingly liberal, whereas, on the other
hand, the legislation subsequent to the
funding act of 1871 has worked great
injustice to the bondholders, and has
seriously embarrassed and delayed q
satisfactory adjustment of the debt.
The strong point in his argument ie
found in the assertion that had the re-
funding been allowed to 60 on as origi'
nally contemplated by the act of March
1876, it would have long since been com
pleted and the annual interest charge
greatly reduced, while the resources O
the State would have proved suf6cien
for all urposes-includingt the demandl
for the school fund-without any in
crease of taxation. Thus, according tt
Mr.. McCulloch, settlement, equitabl
alike to the State and to the bondhold
ers, might have been reached. That
was not SO reached is due, in his opin
ion, to certain class of politicians VIII
hoped to make capital for themselve
out of popular agitation of the subject
Mr.. McCulloch processes his willing
ness to 'leave the whole question to tn
sober secondthougbt of the people 6
Virginia, quarters of whose voter
who pay taxes to the amount of not les
than $40 favored, and still favor, tn
measure which has been so savagel
denounced"

IN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

GARFIELD AND THE MALONE ALL
ANCR.-The Philadelphia Times pub
fishes report which ex-senator John
F. Lewis brought back from that Mecca
of Republican pilgrims, Mentor, to the
effect that the President elect looks with
favor upon the proposition Of union be-
tween the MahOneites and Republicans,
for the purpose of overthrowing the only
honest debt-paHying party in Virginia
We have no doubt that he (Lewis)
presented rose colored views touching
the importance of this coalition, to Gen.
Garfield: but, Notwithstanding, we &C.
cept his statement with some grains of
allowance, and shall await further de-
velopments. But, if it shall turn out,
that the Republican President has given
his influence to this coalition, the Re-
publican party may as well abandon its
high pretensions; and the Northern
creditors may have thfs example plead
in extenuation of further default on the
part of the people of Virginia, in the
payment Of their claim. If they shall
labor to break down, through such .
coalition, the only organized party In
this Common wealth that has stood
firmly, and shown q willingness to take
risks, and make sacrifices, to maintsin
the credit of the State, they will have
done much in the estimation Of many
consistent Debt Payers, towards absolv-
ing them from any further obligation In
this behalf.-Lynchburg VsrgsnsGn.
