administration had been vastly superior to
the present one, and never had there been a
time when riot, corruption and misrule had
relgned as it did in that State to-day.
Jonas said that at last his colleague sought
an opportunity to bring forth all the bile, all
the malice, all the vituperation which he had
long held in his soul against the people whom

Louisiana had been as fair and free as any

Democratic party in Louisiana. He denied
the statement that the colored people will

THE DEBT QUESTION IN VIRGINIA.
WASHINGTON, March 29th.-The difference
between the Readjusters and Bourbons in
Virginia on the debt question is about as fol-
lows: The Mccullough or Debtpayers' bill
liked, with the consent of the creditors, the
debt at S32, ,000, 600, made the coupons re-

and made the bonds non-taxable. 1t fixed
the rate of interest at an average of four per
cent. The Riddelberger bill, which the Re-

ceivable for taxes, made the bonds taxable,
and the rate of interest three per cent It
the consent of the States creditors, on the
ground that it was just to both creditors and
the State. The Readiustsf3 bill excludes
from the State debt the interest accumulated
during the war ard the reconstruction period.
McCullough's bill includes this.
ATTORNEY GENERAL M'yEAGH.
WASHINGTON, March 29th.-Attorney-
General McVeagh is at his Office this morn
ing, attending to business as usual When
the current report that he was inclined to re-
sign his office was mentioned he said he did
not anticipate leaving the Cabinet. He de-
clined to talk when interrogated as to the
past differences of opinion as to the wisdom

that whatever objection he might have had
to any of the Presidents appointments, such
objection had not been sufficiently strong at
any time to warrant this retirement from the
Department of Justice.

letter at the beginning Of Hayes administra-
ton making bitter attack upon MacYeagh
and other visiting statesmen.

striving to gain absolute control of the Presi-
dent, and if they succeed Blaine cannot re-
main in the Cabinet.
A distinguished Senator, friend of the
President, has urged him to withdraw Robert
sons nomination.
Already the politicians are charging against
Garfield the vacillation, tinlidity and broken
faith at times characteristic of Hayes.
