Xirrinia,s Condition.

The people of Virginia appear to be as
founded at the magnitude of the financial
questions which are precipitated on the
State by the Supreme Courts decision in
the coupon cases. The total debt Of Vir-
ginia, including accrued interest, must
now approximate S50,0o0,000. l. was con-
siderably over $l0OOo, 900 seven years AGO,
and the annual interest in 1865 amounted
to 81 AS. 1l6 81. We have no data at hand
as to the proportion of this interest cover
ed by coupons receivable in payment OF
taxes, but the net revenue annually app
plicable to the payment of interest was
then only $S77,5lj IS.
The annual revenue Of the State from
all sources is not far from $4,000. 600 al
the present rate of taxation, Of which
over 81, 600, 600 are required to pay the ex-
penses of the government and the amount
appropriated for maintaining the public
schools. 1t is certain that the past due
coupons, receivable in payment of taxes
under this decision, are much more than
sufficient to deprive the State of the use
of every dollar OF the revenue Of the cur
rent year, and Of many subsequent years,
were all the taxpayers to tender them in
payment of their taxes.
The most sanguine Nirginian scarcely
expects that West Virginia will ever as
sumo the proportionate share of the State
dent. which it got rid of by seeding, or
rather being torn, from the State during
the war. The whole burden will have 10
be borne by Virginia.
Heretofore all efforts 70 settle the debt
question have been futile, because il was
impossible for the people TO unite on any
definite plan Of settlement. In the con-
fict Of parties for power and patronage
the Mahoneists were for time triumphant,
and they did nothing TO relieve the State
OF its embarrassment.
There are various plans suggested by
different factions in Virginia for obtain
ing at least temporary relief. Every class
of politicians, from the outright ropudia-
tors up to those who favor refunding the
debt 40 lower rates of interest with the
consent OF the bondholders, has some pet
scheme TO put forward. THE Readmsters
will endeayor 20 make capital out OF the
situation, and they win NEGLECT nothing
that will have a tendency 10 help them
regain their lost power and prestige.
Il is stated that the bondholdors are
still willing to refund their securities at
per cent, aud 10 fund past due coupons
ut 2 per cent, thus. IL Is claimed, making
it possible for Virginia to pay the annual
interest without increasing the burdens
Of the people. II would, no doubt, be
greatly 10 the advantage Of the bondhold-
ers, as we'll as OF the State, TO agree TO
! such an arrangement. The better senti-

ment of Virginia has long been in favor
of this plan, but it has been overruled and
prevented from carrying it out.
Virginia is now entering on an era Of
almost unprecedented prosperity. Her
people are earnestly and hopefully at
work developing her great resources. The
State is rapidly gaining in material
wealth, and unless the depraved and
vicious elements should again secure
control of the State government there
can be no doubt that in a few years the
increase in values and population, and
consequent increase in the States re-
sources from taxation, will be such that
this enormous debt can gradually be paid
off. There is every reason to believe that
there is pluck and faith and honor enough
in the people of Virginia TO boldly take
hold Of the problems connected with the
settlement of the State debt and solve

The Servant Question.

/ There is, perhaps, no other country in
I the civilized world where the household
/ servants as a class are so inefficient and
so unsatisfactory in almost every respect
as in the United States. This is true
of almost every section of the Union,
but especially so of the South. The well
trained, reliable servants Of ante-bellum
days are no more, and from the present
aspect Of the servant question it looks as
if their places would not be filed for gen.
eratIons. Since the war the household
service has been constantly deteriorating,
until one who now gets a servant that is
I trustworthy and competent is extremely
/ fortunate.
/ 1t IS easier to define the cause of this
state of things than to improve it. The
/ great trouble is that servants, from the
! youngest to the Oldest, with few excep-
! tiOns, are disconnected and restless, and
/ are constantly changing their homes,
/ consequently few mistresses feel en-
couraged to take the pains and time
necessary to train them. The worst
/ feature Of the case is that a very large
/ proportion of household servants are
trained to dishonesty from infancy, and
many of them seem to be embued with the
idea that there has been premium put
on inetliciency and want of reliability.
The conduct of many masters and mis-
/ tresse6 tends to encourage this class. In
stead Of firmly insisting on good service
and honesty, unreasonable concessions
are made to servants, and thefts are per-
fo fobn 10
cause of Discrimination to take the time
and trouble to prosecute the thieves.
1t is with masters and mistresses to de-
eide whether our domestic service system
it can scarcely be called a system-shall
be improved. It's Improvement can but
be slow and tedious at best. TO effect
any improvement at all will require de-
cision of character, firmness and patience
which few possess. II may be accepted
as fact that a very small proportion of
negro servant girls desire to fill their
places with credit, and fewer of them Will
be found in service every year.
There are thousands of pauper whites
in the country whose condition would be
vastly bettered if they would enter domes-
tic service. 1t would be far better for the
children Of the pauper classes to be
trained as efficient house servants than
for them to live ali their lives in want
and poverty, perhaps in CRIME. It's much
less Iaborious and more pleasant and
healthiul for a girl to nurse or cook. or be
a lady's maid, than for her to work in the
cotton field or in some kinds of manufac-
turing establishments.
1t would not be a bad idea for leading
ladies in the different cities and towns to
form societies to encourage poor but
worthy girls TO enter service and to train
them so as tomake them efficient and able
to earn the highest wages that can be OBJ
tanned. Such societies would exercise
an immense influence on the future of the
/ servant question, and the members would
be benefactOrs in the highest and noblest
sense of the term.

There are some queer notions extant in
Ohio. One is that there ought TO be only
one hanging place for the whole State.
The law just passed by the Legislature of
that State, directing that henceiorth all
executions shall take place within the
penitentiary n Columbus, is said to be
one of the results of the recent Cincinnati
riots. All murderers being sent TO Co.
lumbus It's advocates claim, angry
citizens will have no reason to
attack the county jail. An ex-
change says: "Angry citizens ought to
have more self-control than to attack the
county j0il anyhow; but il the residents
of Columbus don't mind the frequent &C.
currence Of hangings i'm their ncighbor-
hood, people throughout the rest OF the
state will hardly complain Of the law.v

Of condemned men who want to go to see
them executed, or will it have them
