General Johnston on the Virginia
Eight.

General Joseph +. Johnston, OF Virginia,
in conversation with a Tribune reporter IN
New York on Friday, said, In reply to a ques-
ton as TO whether he expected there would
be much excitement in the Virginia cleo
ton:
cit is too early in the day for one to make
an intelligent prophecy as TO the result. or
course each OF us has an opinion, but not
until after the local nominations have been
made can we predict with any degree OF
certainty"
.'Do you think the vote will be a large
one?"
~"UDdoubtedIy 1t will, as the election is
looked upon as very important"
specifically settling the question OF re-
Adjustment"
ayes, to a very great extent.'
"Will the course taken by General Wick
ham affect the result very materially, In
yonr opinion?"
81 cannot see how it can do otherwise.
General Wickham is respected as much as
any one in the South, especially any Repub-
liean, and bis influence is, and always has
been, considerable, so that when he declared
his intention Of supporting the candidates
nominated by the Democratic party II had
an influence. OF course, to what extent ]
cannot say, but ] think his course will carry
a number into the Democratic ranks"
"Do you believe that General Malone i
as strong as he was six months ago Z"
"In my opinion, be Is not. There baYt
been several influences at work against
him, small and local perhaps in themselves
but influencing to a considerable extent The
cause OF the Readiuster party"

Il w RAAa AND
Among the delegates TO the first COnyen-
ton OF the Resdiuster- Republican party
was a gentleman who after the adjourn
ment OF that body informed one OF his
friends T" that as ne sat there In that body,
surrounded by negroes and Radicals, he
Just felt that every white man In the county
was looking at him, and he determined
never TO be caught in such a crowd again."
We were glad to see that this gentle
man was rot present at the last meet
ing OF this party. A citizen Of Cha
than who was a Cameron man attended
as q spectator this Convention. On
the following morning he made this
declaration {: al was a Cameron man;
attended that Convention because | was in
terested in the objects for which it assem-
bled. That Convention cured me, however.
| Colonel Cameron is a good man, but he is
In a hard party; / can't stomach that
crowd. Henceforth | am for Daniel and
the white men,"
Our old friend p. f. Gafford, who has
been a Rtsdjuster ever since the subject
was first agitated, received few days since
a letter from the Malone authorities In
Richmond notifying him that he had been
| appointed a csnyasser for the Cameron
ticket. Our old friend Immediately wrote
them word 1--WE have a copy OF his letter
" that be could not accept, as be did moi
belong to that party" Too much Radical,
ism for him.

vocaied the exemption Of United States
bonds from all tarotion. We did say, In

allies of Republican pariyif you came out
for taxing such bonds, and that therefore.
=, Won are afraid OF the voters on one hand
and The Republicans on the other, It Is a sore
| subject with you.
There IA no doubt that United States
bonds arc by FederaI law exempt from tax
alton IN Virginia. There is no doubt that
virginia bonds arc by Virginia law exempt
from taxation 10 Virginia. What we want
to know is why the Resdlusiers should
clamor for the taxation OF Virginia bonds
In violation OF yirgiDia's contract not to
lax them, whist they acquiesce in the ex'
emption OF the bonds which UNCLE SAM mas
contracted not 10 tax.

aTbese bonds arc not taxed 10 virginia
M Il be true at all that they ore not acluahy,

laws and decisions; and that both Funoeis
and Readjusters acquiesce In these laws ana

we know, as we have said above, mat
the United States bonds are exempt by
limited States law from taxation in Vir-
oinis. We know that " both Funders and
Resdiusters acquiescen in this law. But
why not ~acquiesce also in your " states
law?
The Wing further says:
"Tbe national exemption. besides being
an original part and consideration OF Tue
debt. io1s and is not unconstitutional the
Brokers' Bill exemption, besides being no
original part and consideration OF the DEBT,
,oas and is unconstitutional"
No, sir. What the courts say is eonsiitu-
tionaI is constitutional, and what they say IS
unconstitutional is unconstitutional. Not
what the Wig. or we, or anybody else
may pronounce so. You cannot escape
through that loophole. You must either
admit that The exemption OF Yirginia's
bonds from taxation Is constitutional, or
else set up for your governing a higher law
than that e~xpounded by the courts. To do
this latter would be to put an end to all
argument on the subject.
