SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY Ia.

AT THE close of the civil war Virginia
owed her creditors in round numbers, prln-
cinal and interest, forty five million dollars
none of which, however, was war DEBT.
With the consent of her creditors she trans
ferred oue.third of that debt to West Vir'
oinia For the remainder she issued bonds
the coupons OF which she declared, and had
it printed upon them, she would receive IN
navment of all her dues. To reduce that
remainder still further, and to break the
promise respecting the coupons divers ana
suudry efforts have been made, and numer.
Gus decisions have been rendered oy al
sorts of courts, from the lowest to the nigh
at. The latest-the one in Norfolk, 6y the u.
8. Circuit Court, is to the effect that what is
nominated on the coupons shall stand, and
that they shall be receivable for oil state
dues. How any court, State or federal,
could ever have decided otherwise, is hard
to com prehend, in view of the constitutional
provision prohibiting the States from pass
ing any law that will impair the obligation
of contracts; and how any member OF the
democratic party, which supports strict
construction of the Constitution, can coun
teuance any other idea on the subject IS
utterly impossible to conceive.

In THEIR support of the defeated Nlcara-

put great stress upon the necessity of main
tanning the Monroe doctrine. Aud yet so
good republican authority as the National
Iatelligencer proved to be before it expired
said, in 1858:
1.-The executive declaration, commonly
called the Monroe doctrine no longer ex-
ists save as Presidential precedent which
Congress declined to endorse; the creature
of circumstances. it persisted as soon as the
circumstances disappeared which gave 1t
life and activity; in similar juncture 1t
would remain for the wisdom of The country
to decide upon simiur course, if that
should be considered the most expedient
ssd proper"

publican politicians are as devoid "a they
are Of ~gracp Indeed, according to their
shining lights, ANY thing either in law or

THE REPUBLICAN Senate last week de-
feated the interstate commerce bill which
would have protected the public against
the railroads, and yesterday it defeated the
bill to forfeit the unearned lands of the
Texas Pacific Railroad. When the interests
of the railroads are involved the republi.
cans in Congress may always be counted on
to sustain them. Between railroads in
which republicans are interested, and the
people, republican legislation will invari-
ably be in favor of the former.

1T Is stated in dispatches from Washing
ION that "Seuator Riddleberger ia consider

tons upon him for his solitary vote against
the Bayard resolution last week" Other
dispatches state that when she cast the
vote referred TO General Malone, who has
no use for him now, smiled sardonically."
And yet that vote was only the legitimate
consequence of the Generals teachings in
Virginia. But whether Malone laugh at
Riddleberger, or Rddlcberger at Malone,
or they laugh st each other, the people of
the country are sick of both, and those of
the State they misrepresent will get rid Of

Further explanation Of the lease of the
Central Pacific makes it appear
that the Southern Pacific is not the
lessee, but new organization known as
the South Pacific company, which has
also purchased the Southern Pacific.
The new company has capital stock Of
Sl0O,0oo,00O and is organized to control
all trans.continental business excepting
that Of the Northern Pacific. Speaking
OF this gigantic deal the New Yorl
Herald says it is not improbable that il
will result in the contamination of the
old project to extend the Central Pacific
to the Missouri over the route surveyed
some years ago from Corinne to Yank
ton. The combination is certainly an
tagonistic to the Union Pacific and un
til the Central has line OF its own te
the Missouri the old quarrels intensified
will prevail.
