Postage.

VIC are glad TO notice that the Norfolk
Ledger aligns itself with the Journals which
tell Congress that newspaper publishers
do not desire to be privileged class, and
do not ask to have their papers sent free
through the mails. We cannot imagine,
on the other hand, any good reason why
every man in the community should not
have accorded TO him the privilege now
restricted to editors Of sending second
class matter at the rate OF two cents per
pound. Why not, Mr.. MONEY! Let the
law read, "onc cent per half. pound"
Then nobody will have to weigh one, or
two, or even three old papers to find out
whether he can send them through the
mails for cent. Pray let the newspaper
proprietors pay as they now do, but let the
privilege referred TO be extended to all the
rest OF the community. The former meas
IRE would diminish the revenues Of the
Post-Oflce Department considerably. The
latter not at all.
By the way, the New York Sun Is one Of
the journals which ask to have the priv.
lego Of paying their own postage, notwith.
standing the fact (and it Is a fact stated in
the last annual report OF the Postmaster.
General that one fourth Of the amount
OF gross receipts Of the Post-0lice DE.
par.ment from sec0nd-class matter Is col.
lected at the New York city post-ofhce.

Mr.. Eaton on the Bloody Shirt,

We had occasion last week to refer to
that "wise old man. Senator EATON. OF
Connecticut, and to remind our readers
that he alone OF all the Democrats i'll the
United States Senate in 1877 (he is in the
House OF Representatives now voted
against the bill which gaveto JOE BRADLEY
and his eight to seven electoral commission
the power To seat Mr.. HAYES in the presl-
dental chair which the people had elected
Mr.. Tn.DEH TO fill. Senator EATON's fore
cast was proved by the event; for it soon
afterwards became apparent that but for
the law establishing an electoral commits
sion TO decide the title to that office Mr..
TILDrS would have become President OF
the United States.
Well. this same :" wise old man" has his
own views on a subject which we treated
very briefly the other day. Mr.. RANDALL,

ANOTHER ALLY.-Wc do not despair OF
having large party at our back before
long enforcing the axiom allow us to
claim at least that it is one) that tariff
which yields a maximum of revenue affords
a minimum of protection, and, conversely,
that tariff which affords a maximum of
protection yields a minimum OF revenue.
In recent interview Governor VANCE
commits himself unequivocally to this doc
trine. After giving excellent reasons why
the whole iLternal-revenue system ought to
abolished he answered the question as TO
how the Government was to obtain its
revenues, and in doing so, said:
.'But il we did have to provide more
money after cutting off the internal reve-
nue. the way to do that is to lower the tariff
and increase importations. This is too
plain to talk about"

The west Virginia Debt.


We mentioned General WIcKnAN's name
m an editorial In Sundays issue OF the
Dispatch touching the debt OF Virginia
and West Virginia. lie has sent us an
ar icle that fills n column or two OF the
Dispatch IN response 30 our editorial; but
the public will wish TO see the bill, and
therefore VIC print II.
Now, II Is not at all necessary for us to
say anything about General WIcEBAM; but
we must continue TO fight The scheme. Our
complaint is that any bin of The sort should
have been introduced. II will enable
spectators IN West Virginia certificates to
make money out OF such speculations'
though we here in Virginia, General WICK
ham being ono. know that Virginia VIII
never pay one dime Of the debt assigned
TO West Virginia In 1871. Nor do we eN-
pcct West Virginia TO do II. We nave
known for long time thai such scheme
was on foot. The West Virginia papers
fully described II some time ago. We
were rather jocularly requested not long
ago by friend from a Valley county
to allow the scheme to pass uncbalienged.
We knew that some bill of the kind
Yves 10 come before the Legislature.
VIC expected that somebody would bc
here 90 push the scheme. We repeat,
therefore. that IT does not in the least de-
gree matter what sort OF bill is before
the Legislature touching this matter. One
bill is almost as good as another so far as
arc concerned the purposes OF the gentle
men who propose 20 reopen the debt ques-
ton. We again warn the General Assem-
bly against this scheme. Twelve millions
OF dollars Of certificates are involved.
The bill rccites what Virginia promised
relative to this matter in the funding acts
of 1871 and 1879. But what Of that pro-
mise: Why 90 TO West Virginia TO hunt
up obligations? The same acts promised
to paw the sum OF thirteen millions OF dol
lars Of Virginia's debt that has since been
eliminated" Why not keep this pledge?
Is our pledge TO the holders Of West Vir-
ginia certificates of superior dignity to and
OF greater binding force than our pledge
10 our own creditors of 1871 and 1879?
II is claimed that the bill proposes to
release Virginia from all obligation TO
nav any Of The West Virginia certiii- |
Gates. The holders Of them can well
afford il. But the bill also binds the hold |
ers aforesaid to accept their ratdble part
o. TIC amount recoUoed" by Virginia from
West Virginia. The idea Is held out
that Virginia is going to recover some
thing; and thus the certificates are
"bulled." Again: Virginia is to sue
West Virginia! And somebody is to put
up ten thousand dollars! All this is
wrong; all totally wrong. We haven't
the patience to write about it.
General WICEHAM has as yet done no.
Ting in connection with the bill we are
discussing except TO report it. So we hear
from good authority. We are glad OF it.
We believe in him. Nobody enjoyed more
than We did his declaration OF last fall
that when WILLIAMS G. WICKHAM made
statement 1t needed no confederation.
But all the same we shall oppose this bill
to The bitter end. The Senate ought to
dim il ut once.

ger OF an undue contraction In the volume

amounted to SOL, 100000, and the silver
certificates to sI1O.OOO.0 900 lin round num-

certificates now outstanding-we shall have
good reason for quoting our fears as to
any bad results that we may have feared
were likely to follow the withdrawal OF
bank circulation consequent upon the re-
demption Of It's bonds by the Government.
The fact is that nobody can tell how much
currency is needed by the country.
Nevertheless, IL will not do b allow the

ner. The mere fear OF the results OF con-
traction may produce the bad results rear
cd, even when there is no real reason why
apprehensions should be entertained. That
cannot properly be called panic for the
existence Of which there is any good rea-
son. All the same, panic in money mat
ters is greatly to be deprecated. Let Con-
gress act with caution, and all will be well.
The gold and silver certificates seem to
have performed an Office which they were
not intended to perform. Congress
