their own selfish ends. ,,s,.--.

minatlon to maintain State credit, respect the
rights of her creditors. and place the State in
the role of debt-paying Commonwealths. The
sentiment of the business people of the North
and especially of the capitalists who are now
interesting themselves in the development of
Virgnia's resources, is very hostile TO the pol
icy of the Re-adjusters of your State. There
are several papers in Philadelphia which NOM
lnally favor the faction Gen. Malone repre-
sents, but they do not reflect the sentiments Of
the city or State. They take superficial and
idealstc view of the mere partizan features
of the con test you are now engaged in, while
the business men look to the business features
of 1.-THE integrity of your State, the obliga-
lions she has assumed and the duty to meet
them bravely and honorably, even if sacrifices
have to be made to do it. Even coulda pres
ent relief be gained by the policy of re-adjust-
ment, which / see is questioned. by reason of
the action of the Courts, the future would
have in store many drawbacks and burdens,
should the credit of the State be not main
tanned and her honest debt honestly dealt
with. The State never observation-disclosures do.
The State cannot therefore afford to tarnish
her fair name by any act that could be con-
strued into reputation, for it would be per-
petual stigma, operating all the time to her
disadvantage The individual may cheat his
friends and creditors, and the disgrace be for
gotten when the clods of the Valley have rat
tied upon his coffin and the grass, has grown
upon his grave,
If could say anything that would inspire
the people of your good old Commonwealth
with q keen sense of the danger ofrepudation
and the many ills it will breed in the future,
j would 1 have faith in their integrity, and
hope to hear that eYeryIstep looking towards
reputation is bravely met and rebuked by theif
sterling honesty. Yours truly, q.

We notice that Bill Watkinds
is still pouring out his slops en-
Col. Nesmith through the columns
Of the Sunday Mercury. He has
had the records of the courts in
Maine examined. and wrote to the
clerk Of the court in this county to
see if there was not some defect in
the Colonels title to his land, but
all TO no purpose. William bites
a file, and had better. learn to spell
and return TO Washington and
draw his six dollars per day as
clerk Of the committee on manu-
! features. That would be following
up the methods he learned under
Grover. If Williams character
should ever become a subject
worthy of investigation, it will not
be necessary to send TO Maine, as
the records of the courts in Marion
and Multnomah show that he has
been three times Indicted and once
convicted of felony, and is now
under arrest for a penitentiary Of
fense. The wretch who has robbed
the state and plundered his private
creditors will have ample occupa-
ton in taking care of his own
character. Col. Nesmith does well
to spurn lhE fellow and treat his
slandersIvith contempt.

The Arkansas democracy, like
that of Tennessee, is going to
pieces on the question Of state
finances. The democrats of the
southern states, ,having begun repu-
diation with entire unanimity, are
quarreling as to when and how 10
stop it. In Virginia the two fac
lions Of repudiators are attacking
each other with a ferceness ex-
ceiling that which, when united,
they exhibited towards a common
foe. In Its desperation one fac
tion comes out squarely for the
doctrine of equal rights TO all,
without distinction of race or
color. In Tennessee the quarrel
was SO managed that the republic
ans elected their governor, and the
states creditors have made 4 bet
ter arrangement than the most
sanguine among them ever dared
to hope for. They have received a
low interest bond, with the
coupons receivable for taxes. In
Arkansas troubles are increasing,
and threaten to culminate in a
grand fght over reputation.

The new liquor law went into
effect in Kansas on Nav 1st. and
the reports from different sections
of the state indicate a more gener-

pected by the most sanguine advo-
cate of the measure. In the small
er towns the saloons have practi-
cally all been closed, an exception
here and there being reported.
In the cities and large villages the
saloons are all kept open, and
lemonade, soda water, pop, butter.
milk, and other mild beverages
sold openly, with a little liquor, on
the sly. In Leavenworth only
nine of the 123 drinking places
openly violated the law, and these
will be closed BY force and the
proprietors arrested.
