THE VIRGINIA DEBT CUES
TON.

Col. Robert Beverly, who is regard
ed as pronounced debtpayer, and
wh0 is a member of the Virginia Con-
servative State Central Committee ad-
dressed public meeting of the citi-
zens of Fauquier county, last Monday
week, in which he made the announce
ment that at the recent meeting of the
State Central Committee the keynote
of the conference was to secure the
supremacy, the integrity, intelligence
and industry of the State. In con-
ference with closed doors, Mr.. Beverly
said, the debt question was discussed,
and the sense Of the body was that the
public creditor should be content with
bond bearing three per cent, and no
more. Mr.. Beverly said he aad held
opinions ON the debt question that
had caused him to be denounced as a
"bloated bondholder," though he had
not owned bond since the war. His
views had undergone some change
while he believed that the State hon
est'y owed So, 100000, he thought
that three per cent. was all the inter
est she should be required to pay
The government of the United States
was attempting to fund at that rate;
why might not Virginia."

THAT foolish veto OF Mr.. Hayes
which SO of the 2e00 National Banks
urged him to send to Congress, 1t now
turns out does not only the whole peo-
pie an injury, but causes loss to those
Banks as well. They are now begging
Mr.. Window, Secretary of the Trea-
sury, with tears in their eyes to return
them the greeRbacks and take back the
bonds they were SO ready to part with
in order that the people might be made
to pay moro than per cent. en- the
national debt. They deserve TO be
made TO weep good while. Another
thing the veto did. The bill which pro-
vided for the adjustment of the tax OF
one-half of enc per cent. on the capital
of all the organized Banks, was defeated
also. This benefit they will lose, and it
amounts yearly to heavy item. Some
idea may be formed of the amount of
this tax from the fact that the Banks of
this city are required to pay in the
neighborhood OF $4,000 to $4,000.
And now it is said in Washington that
ga statement has been made that a syn
dictate of New Y ork bankers have noti-
fed the Secretary of the Treasury OF
their willingness to carry the maturing
debt of the government at ) per cent.
after the date of option for the payment
shall have arrived"
The private bankers no doubt hope to
realize quite fair premium out of this.
This single act of Hayes may cost the
people the respectable sum of $lS,000,-
900 in interest.

Who pays? 1t Ia all very nice for the
stockholders of the r., w. il b., they
get $50 share advance above par;
and not bad for the stockholders of
the Pennsylvania Company since their
stock is advanced also. But the pub
lie have to foot the bill. The eight
per cent. must come from some source.
But peaches will grumble and make
it bad for the road. 1t will be better,
therefore, to be very liberal with our

the committee on cities has agreed to
report the bill previously offered which
requires telegraph wires in New York

graph pole nuisance should certainly be
abated in some way, but, instead of that,
is growing worse every day. So with
