BY an error in subtraction in an ar
ticle of Wednesday, reviewing the Gov
errors letter to the Hon. John W. Daniel,
we made the surplus revenues after sup
porting the government and maintaining
the schools $S43,000. 1t should have been
$943, 0Oe which will pay per cent. in
terest upon the entire principal OF the
debt. Which is better TO accept the
proposition of the bondholders to settle
for this sum, it being what is left over
.fter the expenses of government and the
cbools are maintained or TO continue the
present status whereby officers of the gov
rnment are undertaking to defy the SUI
preme law of the LAND, with coupons
piling up annually and threatening to

REPUTATION.

The Dispatch, along with number Oh
other papers. continually harps upon the
nroposition that unless the creditors iund
under the Riddleberger bill, the people
will 20 for population. What do these
journals mean by reputation DO tney
mean that the people will go for repuaia'
ton of the principal of the debt, or 90 'ney
mean that they will go for the repuulS-
ton of the coupons9 If they mean 'he
former, the creditor replies that their re-
pudiating act cannot take effect LOT
twenty years, and he doesn't care a snap
for it. BY that time he knows that repu-
diation will be a bad odor in the nostriiS
of every citizen of Virginia, and the act
of to-day would be torn from the s.a'''o
book then. The threat of repudia'ing
the principal is therefore an empty anu
idle one.
If they mean that the people VIII re-
nudate the annually -accruing crop OF
commons we ask them how they Will 90
this, The 18th section of the Riddle
berger bill forbids the States officers 10
pay interest upon any Of her bonds OK
cent those issued under the provisions OF
that act, which is forb,dding them 10 pay
the coupons as they mature ana inc
first section of Coupon Killer No. 2 for
bids her officers to receive anything IN
p.yment of taxes, except gold and silver
coin. greenback and national bank notes
Now if the State can any more com
pletely repudiate the coupons than she
has done by these two acts, we sLould
like to know how it can be done.
Yet the Supreme Court OF the OniIeu
States holds that these acts of repudla-
ton are null and void, and that the cou-
mons paw the taxes Notwithstanding the
acts, and the people are paying their
taxes with the coupons.
Come then, gentlemen, state what you
mean by reputation; and if you mean
repudiation of the coupons, state the
method by which the State shall re-
nudiate them more effectually than she
has done.

The lurid dime novel, promised some
time ago in the proposed publication OF
Jake Thompson's Papers, is said now to
be sensational piece OF humbug.
1t will be remembered that the whole
plan for rescuing the Confederate prison
ers at Johnsons island and other places
as developed by certain Confederate
agents in Canada was warped into con-
spiracy of Northern copperheads who
were cooperating with the Confederates'
Colonel Read in very clear and posi-
tive narrative explains the whole con
spiracy," and shows that if Jake Thomp-
sons publishers and friends expected to
make anything out of "the great North
western conspiracy" they did not calcu-
late on such a contradiction as they have
gotten.

Highly CoIored Romance.

Miss Lulu Francis, a colored belle OF
Washington, has been Lochinvared by
ginger-bread-ti tinted Virginian of the name
of Cassius Harrison.
Fair Lulu is the daughter of Colonel
Richard Francis, the courtly darkey OF
the old school, who was the most accom-
plished priest of Bacchus ever known,
even in Washington. He officiated for
many long glowing years at old Han
cocks. on the Avenue, where thirsty
statesmen came by day and night to i'm
bibe comfort and inspiration at the altar,
behind which the sacerdotal Francis
stood with portly dignity and a smile of
conscious pride at the bliss he dispensed.
MANY Senator was proud Of his ac-
ouaintance, and it was a pleasant day
when Francis was promoted to the charge
of the Senate restaurant-OnlY he was
cut off from the high privilege Of the
favorite libatiOn to Bacchus, pink
punch of exquisite flavor that none but
Francis ever could make. 1t was sad to
Francis to have to serve whisky under
the pseudonym of tea in cup, but there
is a something about the surreptitiOus-
ness of stealing a drink that has a charm
for the cOnspirator who is the puryeyor
as well as the imbiber.
| 1t goes without saying that Francis
was an ornament to his position. Alas,
he had one fair daughter, and he had
| learned in the aristOcratlc associations
of Senators that there is one indispen-
sable institution in the bean m0Hd6-never
mind what the color Of it-and that is the
marriage of convenience
He declared that Lulu must wed an
aristocrat, who was a swell hash-server at
the Arlington-Mr Sneed. The wedding
cards were out, and all was going well,
except Lula's heart; and somehow OF
other her first-lOve Cassius, came along
from the South, where he had learned
the gallant ways of the f. +. V cavaliers.
Ely with me" said Cassius; and they
flew.
The cruel parent and the laggard lover
are left in the lurch, and Luln and her
Cassius were we'd not on horseback like
the Lochinvar, nor at KennyfOrd's shrine
like Hubert and Alice but in New York.
But Colonel Francis will doubtless act
the philosopher and forgive the gay cOu-
pie, saying: Rise my children, if we
can't get what we want, we must try to
want what we get, as they say in the
play.
Pat Loughran got jammed in a ditch
which he and two other descendants OF

A won Turns to q River.

A despa'ch was received In Chicago on|
fhesday from the Mayor of Belleplan,
Iowa, relating a singular catastrophe. |
appears that IAN artesian well -four inches
diameter, burst when tine depth of 1901
feet had been reached In boring, and in
sDntly a volume of water was forced into
- air TO the distance of several hundred
feet. This gradually increased in size
and volume until stream OF water fully
sixteen inches in diameter was formed
and the upward force of this stream
is equal to the power OF powder
or dynamite" This despatch adds;
The water in huge volumes is spout
ing high in the air, and the sup
ply seems inexbaustible. Two gigantic
rivers have been formed by this phencme-
email Ter burst, which are running
Through the town at the rate of twelve
miles an hosr and carrying everything
before them. Houses and lives are threat
ened by this peculiar freak of nature, and
the citizens are appalled, at their impend
ing danger, which at present they are
powerless to overcome. Finding it i'm
possible to avert this damaging floed, an
attempt was made to insert sixteen-inch
boiler iron tubes into the well, hut these
were instantly blown out and forced high
iHt5 the air. Finding this plan useless,
the terrified people attempted to fill up
the aperture through which this terrible
geyser was spouting its deluge. Fifteen
carloads of stone were emptied into the
we'll, but these were forced upward as
though propelled by the force of giant
powder. Bags of sand were then hastily
constructed and cast into the well, but
these, too, were hurled into the all"
Up to last evening no abatement In the
flow of water was pereeptible, "and the
rushing rivers formed by IT were washing
the channel 1t had made deeper and wider
while the basin formed by this immense
volume of water was spreading over the
lowiands in the vicinity" As last re-
sort the Mayor of Belleplain relegraped to
Ghicago"for the best engineers that could
be secured" to attempt to put an end to
the peril, and an engineer was sent on.
The opinion is that but little, if any thing
can be done to stop the flow of water, but
that it may be possible TO direct the rivers
into less dangerous directions and conine
them TO their channels"
