cant editorial, showing the condi-
ton and prospects of the Democratic

By means of the Danville circular

Solid South, with all the fatal mean
ing heretofore alta ehed to that ex-
preston A solid South always begets
solid North. The repulse of the
angel of Liberalism at the Virginia
Southern gateway will, we think very
surely cause those who sent this
fair messenger South to recall her
and henceforth to rel y on the old
policy which has heretofore asserted
the dominant power of the North,
Northern overtures rejected are not
soon made second tune. Neither
party can elect without New York
and New York is not apt to be as
easily bull lozed as was Danville.

GOVERNOR FOSTERS VIEWS.
lie thinks the Negroes would Support
Butler for President---The
Tariff

Governor Foster has been inter
rogated concerning the recent cleo
tions and Buffers defeat in Massa>
chusetts. Governor Foster thinks
Butler dangerous man, and one
who will work hard to secure the
Presidency. He said:
"Butler has strong following in
the South and would receive the me-
gro vote. While I was in Wash
.ington recently, and was being shaw
ed, the barber, not knowing me,
spoke of Butler as the coming man
for the Presidency, and said that if
he was candidate for President the
colored people of the South would
support him to man. The barber
then opened drawer and handed
me two letters he had received from
the willy Benjamin. y ,rsr. ~ -.
Governor Foster was then asked :
'sWhat would be the result should
Butler capture the Demoracy!'
"Well, the issue should be very
plain. It would be the Republicans
and better class of Democrats on
the one side, and the rag tag and
bobta1ls, reinforced by a large por-
ton of the colored vote, especially
in the South, on the other. | be-
lieve, however, that the Republicans
will win in the next election. 4 The
country is in a prosperous condi-
ton; and men engaged in business
those who have vast. interest at
stake-will. hesitate before they vote
to give over the control of this Gov,
ernment to the Democrats, who
have shown no ability whatever in
safely conducting State admins,
tration when it has been given them,
The question of tariff will have
much to do, 1 think, in deciding the
Presidency. On this question the
Republicans will insist upon the
protection of American industries in
the future, as in the past e3af

THE DEBT OF VIRGINIA.
The Bourbons no More Willing to Pay
1T Than the Readjusters We're.

1t Than the Readjusters Were.
When Senator Malone cast his
first vote with the Republicans,
Democratic Senators held up their
hands in horror and rebuked the
Republican party for it's alliance
with repudia ton. Since then the
Democratic newspapers, North and
South, have missed no opportunity
| to attempt to make their readers be-
lieve that Malone and the Republl-
can party were responsible for Vir-
gin1a's reputation, and that with
| the return of the Bourbons to pow
er in that State would return good
faith toward her creditors. The
| Courier-, Journal seems to have hon
estly believed this fiction for a day
or two after the election. 1t said ed
itorially that the first duty OF the
incoming Democratic Legislature
would be to invalidate the Riddles
berger settlement, and that until the
Democrats do that and proceed to
settle honestly with the bondholders
the taint of Reputation will rest
| upon them as it does upon the Re
publican porty in Virginia.
The Richmond Dispatch last week
commented upon this as follows:
THAT is to say, they ought to be
guilty of dishonorable act. Such
advice will not be taken in Virginia.
We would be fools indeed If, after
the voters have at two elections de-
clared emphatically that they will
not pay the debt ascertained by the
funding bill of 1871, we should fall
sify our pledges made at Lynchburg,
deceive the people, show the voters
that they were defrauded out OF
their suffrages, and disgrace our
selves the world over. We should
be doubly damned" After this out
burst of honest Indignation, the ed,
itor proceed to elucidate the debt
question, talking as = gibly about
West Virginia 'ssharew as any Re
afuster ever di i, and then concludes
as follows: ''The whole story is that
Virginia must disown.Gf you like the
world responsibility for West Vir-
ginla's third, thought it is legally her
debt, and good deal of it morally
hers. She must also repudiate Tor
disown) fifteen or more millions OF
the two-thirds she took to herself
if for no other reason-because the
people have twice solemnly decided
at the ballot-box that they will not
pay the whole, and there is no con-.
stitutional way that we know OF to
make State pay her debts. Well,
now, men and brethren, what is the
difference morally between refus-
ing to pay twenty millions and res
fusing to pay thirteen millionsz II
we are compelled to rapudiate mill
lions and millions of the debt, we
need not hesitate to ssay that we
draw the line at the Riddleberger
bill. There is a grel1 Temptation to
slet it all slide,' but wei resist it. We
will pay the twenty mi llions pronlis>
ed in that settlement.

Tn no enactment f5g &ha benefit Of
the honorably dichargSd soldiers OF
the government has sfch gross M
equality been made ,as the bounty
laws. Under the aA of July 2S,
1866. which was tefmed the adj
ditional bounty act, an honorably
discharged soldier, or If dead such
other dependent ones as were named
in said act, were entitled to receive
an additional bounty of fifty dol
lars, if said soldier had served a
period Of two years, and bounty
of one hundred dollars if he had
served the full period OF three years
provided he had not previously re-
ceiyed nor was entitled to receive
more than one hundred dollars, un-
der any former act. Under this
act if the soldier served eleven
months and twenty-nine days, lack
ing only one day Of serving the pc
ROD of two years, and was dischar-
ged without any fanlt Of his OWL,
he was not entitled to receiye any
bounty, but the soldier who served
only one day longer, received
the sum of fifty dollars. So with
the soldier, who, fron no fault OF
his own. was discharged from the
service only one day before the ex-
piration Of three years service, he
could not receiye any. more than
fifty dollars. the same amount the
soldier received for two years service,
though he had served nearly twelve
months louger, and the-soldler who
served but one day longer receive d
his S1OO bounty. Such inequality
should be reconciled and Congress
should enact the equalization boqn>
ty bill giving to each honorably as
dependent ones $685. per month OF
actual service. This is a just OBJ
legation and one that is due the SOL
diers from the government.
