The West Virginia Debt.

Here comes up again that interininable
discussion upon tho West Virginia dent
and the questions pertaining to II. Inc
Wheeling Intelligenoor says:
"But there Is a statement made by tho
Senator IJohnstonl towhich we desireto call
the attention OF the Richmond Dispatch
and all other Virginia papers that have
taken such frequent occasion TO deridc and
denouncc the West Virginia position in
regard 10 the Virginia debt"
Bless us, we had no idea that we had
been so cruel 10 West Virginia. When did
we deride or dcnounce "the West Nir.
yinia position" II we ever did, II was
when some West Nirginian claimed thai
that State was to pay only in proportion to
the money expended within the limits Of
that statc-as II Accomac and Northamp-
ton counties should refuse 10 pay any OF
Virginia's debt because none OF the money
spent In creating the debt was ever laid
out In either OF those counties. Such
position we consider not only untenable,
but one that might appropriately be de-
scribed by using very harsh adicctiyes
However, here is the extract from Senator
.Jonxsrox's article, to which extract the
fnteIliqencer invites our attention. The
Senator says:
"Whon the creditors agreed to lool, to
Virginia for two thirds OF the debt, and "a
fake West Virginia certificates for the other
third. gfrq,0id made an e1cefic;d bargain,
for She held all the assets Of the old State,
fhe capitol, the chief cities, the penitcntiary,
the asyumS, the institutions of learning,
nearly all the railroads, the navigable NV
ers, and the great harbor OF Norfolk. the
value OF which, as a source OF future
wealth and development, cannot be esti-
mated. Therefore she at least ought to
have been satisfied, especially as the credi-
tors wcre.'
We have said the same. West Virginia
was entitled to credit for her share OF all
The property belonging to the old State. IL
was indeed can excellent bargain" for
Virginia which released her from one third
OF all the debt.
We will, however, not waste much time
upon the West Virginia debt. The Gov
ernor OF that State, as well as its Legisla-
ture, hacked up by every public man within
its bounds, declares that West Virginia
owes no debt. When West Virginia GER
tificates sell at II cents under such circum-
stances, surely Virginia cOnsols ought TO
bring at least four times as much.

The CaDitation Tax

The Legislature has taken its final action
on the amendment proposed to be made to
the State Constitution. doing away with
the payment Of capitation tax as a pre-
requisite 10 voting. That body has now
only 10 provide for submitting the question
OF the ratification Of the same amendment
to the voters. 1t may be submitted 10 them
ain such manner and at such times Is the
General Assembly shall prescribe"
Mr.. Lyons and Mr.. DAVIS, two Of our
city delegates, voted for the amendment.
We have no word OF censure for them. II
Mfr. MASSEY is TO have the appointment Of
the collectors OF the delinquent capitation
taxes. and they are 20 be collected, as they
were last fall, entirely in the interest OF the
Rexdjuster party, then we beg leave 10 say
that we are opposed to the capitatlon-tax
requirement. No more OF such purifying
or protecting the balot-box for US. Here
in Richmond, we suppose, 4 thousand, or
perhaps two thousand negroes, voted on
receipts. Our majority was
cut down 10 seventeen hundred. Let the
requirement be buried. IL
Is dead In Virginia. Dir. MASSEY killed
In double sense.

DISQUALIFIED LEGISLATORS.

The law OF Virginia (sce Code o. 1873,
chapter Xi.) provides that no person shall
be "carablc OF holding any Office or
post % profit trust, or elRolumeni, civil
or military, ieqiSlaiiUe, executive, or iu-
dicial, under the government of this Com
monweaIth," who holds any such post or
Office under the United States Government,
"Or ,cho receives IN any ray from the
United States any emOlHnem WdateCer." .
To show who are excepted from thi,
sweeping language, the law adds;
"The preceding section shall not be con-
strued to prevent members Of Congress
from acting as justices, visitors Of the Uni
vcrsity and Virginia Military Institute, OF
from holding office in the militia, or to cX-
clude from Office under this State, on ac-
count of 4 pension from the United States,
a person to whom such pension has been
granted in consequence OF wound re-
ceived in war, or TO exclude from such
Office militia officers or soldiers on account
OF the recompense they may receive from
the United States when called out into ac-
tual duty"
These exceptions are numerous; but it
is plain to be seen that they do not include
the members OF the Legislature who since
their election and qualification have re-
ceived pay for serving as jurors in a
United States Court.

Local Option.

Let the Legislature pass general local
option law ii that body regards it as a wise
measure. We haven'ta word to say against
the policy OF allowing the voters to decide
such questions for themselves. But in the
name OF cOmmOn-sense, why have q vote
taken at any and every general election
The bill provides that a vote shall be taken
"whenever and as often us two hundred
qualified voters" petition for one-that is,
al a general election. Two hundred quail.
fed voters are one-fifth Of the whole mum.
Der In some counties. Two hundred quail.
fed voters are not onc-siXtieth OF the num-
Der in Richmond. The members of the
Legislature might take a hint from their
own rules. These provide that roll-call
shall not be made unless demanded by one
fifth OF the members present. Some such
rule ought TO prevail in the matter OF
ordering elections upon the local-opton
question. The law ought to require the
petition to be signed by certain proper
tion Of the qualified voters-one-tcnth, for
example. IL does not seem 10 us that there
would be any propriety in ordering an
election in any county or corporation in
which one-tenth Of the voters could not
be induced TO sign petition to that effect
Here in Richmond the question would
have 10 be voted on at every general cleo
fiOn.

Auditor Massey, OF Virginia, still "holds

OF the office, with the right to appoint his
own clerks, but his tenure is an uncertain
one. -Four RCadiuster senator's, popularity

fused TO Join in the election OF Allen, the
Rcddjuster nominee, and, together with
the Democrats, or FunderS, they c0nsti-

enlargement, some Of IL from Republican

a State law intended to have that effect.

AFarmcr on Protection.
n the FdiIOry Of fLe UigD0ich :

10 me EuitOTS OF me DtopUttH
Permit me to say that, living i'm the coun-
try as do, and somewhat familiar with the
sentiments iof our farming population, |
think that your views upon protection are
acceptable to large majority OF the farm
ers. The general impression in the country
is that farming, in this part Of Virginia at
least, is played out. Our lands, producing
from five to twenty-five bushels Of corn
TO the acre, cannot compete with
the rich western lands. Our only
hope is in manufactures; for the sue
cess.ul establishment Of which nature has
so richly endowed our State. Unless our
towns and cities are built up, the railroads
will prove a curse instead OF 4 benefit to
our people, for, withou. afording Us 4 mar
kct for our productions. they are bringing
us into competition with the most produc-
tive soils OF the Union. II the capitalists Of
Virginia, under reasonable protection,
will turn their attention and invest their
money in building up the manufactures OF
Virginia, she will undoubtedly prove the
greatest manufacturing State OF the Union.
Push the matter. Iouwill find the people
with YOU. "lIANOyER."
