WE wish to pile up little material
for mex falls campaign. The following
from the Buchanan DEMOCRAT, II new
Fundor paper, ought to go on record,
and be filed for reference, Here It Is;
The hopes Of forciblc reimbursement
have been blightcd; It's plans thwartcd
liquidation, VIZ hope, has received
blow from which II will never recover
were funded under the Act Of 1871 are
now cntrenched behind the decisions Of
not only the Court Of Appeals Of Vlr-
gnia, but the Supreme Court as well.
but the following caps The climax. It
IL from the Richmond correspondent Of
the Lynchburg News;
The Supreme Court decision holding
the funding bill to be constitutional, aud
requiring the coupons 10 be received
without abatement for taxes, has been
received here with great satisfaction by
4hc dcbt-payers. II has struck the Re-
adlustcr party like Il solid shot-dis-
mounted their guns--torn u hole In the
bulk of the pirate ship; aud Il has now
got TO go down "flll fathoms Ave. ~
The decision Is IA opportunc as It IL Inn
portant. II completely upscts the dry
as.dust, long MINDED dissertation OF
Senator Malone.
So We are correct In saying TINT II the
Funders had been the retained and paid
counsel Of the bondholders, to pcrpetu-
ate the six per cent. Funding Bill of
1871 and to double the taxation Of this
generation, they, could not have felt
greater satisfaction" than they now
express. Fellow Readlusters remember
this next fall II will be little inter-
estlng to recall them next fall when
these gentlemen again promise II you

Necessary, but Impossible
The Funder Paradox.

We doubt II the counsel for the plain
ilf In the case Of Hartman Va. Green
how, recently decided by tho U. 8. SUI
prone Court, are more anxious to have
prevail an extreme construction ofJudge
Fields decision than the majority of the
Funder press of the State are. These
gentlemen declare that the decision
pAsTRSs on the neck of Virginia the
yoke of the Funding Bill of 1871; that
II renders Reimbursement impossible
They thus declare themselves willing to
accept without further resistance, con-
etructlon that will force an increase, and
large Increase at that IL taxation, one
that Will put consols to par and peclers
to zero, or compel us to pay annually @
per cent. on 80 millions of dollars. Yet
these are the men who declare their pur-
pose TO vote next year that vast body of
Readjusters who recently voted the May
Ticket These are the men who few
weeks ago asked that Readjustment.be
turned over to them as their job. These
are the men who, the other day, declAr-
cd Reimbursement NECESSITY aud to-
day, ma iMrossinlLITY.
Now we ask the Readjustcrs to note
this much The Supreme Court of tho
y. 5. In the case of Hartman vs.. Green
how, has simply decided that IL n State
chooses to tax her bonds and coupons,
like other property Is taxed, It cannot
deduct the tax from tho f,cc Of the cou-
pom, when that coupon Is presented for
payment, That In all. Aud then to
note this much moro; Next fall will DO
the decisive battle Of this whole issue.-
These same gentleman will then again
ask you to turn over REIMBURSEMENT to
them. II II DO your purpose to abandon
ReadJustmcnt TO them finally and
double your State taxes, then vote
with these Bourbon and Join thcm In
curslng Senator Malone. If however
yeu wish to clean up Rcadjustmcnt, and
save free education. free suffrage, and
moderate taxation, by ono bold and de-
olsivc advance on the Bourbons In their
last bitches, then stand to your guns and
the Bristol kkwe will help you sweep
the Geld.

THE newest open secret as to the new
Cabinet is that Robert Lincoln, son of
President Lincoln, is one of the coming
men. This is Gen. Grants wish, and as
Gen. Grant took the National stump for
Garfield he must be allowed to name a
member Of the Cabinet. Another mat
ter settled is that neither New York, nor
any Southern State will be allowed rep
resentation in the Cabinet. Az New
York defeated Hancock and the Solid
South caused the election of Garfield,
the Presidont-elcct can't make up his
mind which he is under the moreobliga-
ton to, and so he counts them about
even, and will get his cabinet elsewhere.
Mr.. Blaine is TO he Secretary of State.

TO-NIGHT,s AMusEMENS
At the National, Ford's Opera-IEouse, and
the Theatre Comique.

Goodwin's Froliques Company will COM
mence an engagement at the National Theatre to-
night, appearing in their new burlcsque entitled
=" Hobbies" which has been highly successful
wherever it has been presented this season. Inc
limitations given by Mr.. Goodwin of the prominent
actors of the day alone sufficient to attract the
largest audiences. even if the supporting company
was not SO complete and full as is advertised.
The bright and catchy musical work, " Oliyette,
since its pronounced success in Paris, has become
the comic opera sensation in London and New
York, and its reputation is rapidly extending as
the only real success since "Pinafore." In New
York it has been given at the Bijou, Park, ana
Fifth Avenue Theatres. III Philadelphia it is an
nounced at the Arch and Broad in Boston, at the
Gaiety and Park, and it will be presented here to-
night at F0ris, with a superb company, large
chorus and expensive scenical ami costumal ef-
ects. The songs are fresh. full of vivacity and mu
steal beauty. They are sing i'll the house and
whisticd in the street as soon as they
become known from the stage. The music IS
bright, mirthfu full of pretty airs and original eff
fects; the crying song is really gem in its way,
while many of the songs and much of the music of
the chorus destined to be very popular. Then
the plot of the opera is not only good but fnll of
quaint and curious situations and surprising
changes. The company 10 appear here is very COM
plete and comprises decided musical reputation,
with special personal adaptation for the various
parts. 1t will be managed by Mr.. Charles E. Ford,
who vas the first TO produce Piuafore with success
in this country.
The Theatre Comiquc adYertises a large number
of speciality performers, embracing the Arada
Brothers, Egyptian Jugglers; Mccarthy and Mum
roe, Chinese sketch artists: Riekits Brothers gro
tesque artists, and Trudell and Rowan. In addi-
ton to this the full strength of the regular COM
pany will assist, and a most enjoyable entertain
ment may be predicted. Jake Budd, the genial
manager, was OF the opinion on Saturday that he
would be able to give the Female Bathers" this
week, with real water; but the food subsidized, and
necesztated the above change of bill.
