The labor unions of the North have put
forth an address which looks to the forms
alton Of a National party. Whether Thu
can be done or not wo are unable to say,
but we see very plainly that success in this
direction would be followed by two results.
This first to give the next election to the
Republicans, the second to hand over all
the Eastern part of Virginia to the negroes
We say this bEcsuse they are standing to-
gether as a compact mass of Republicans,
and the only division OF votes would be
among the white men. With this outlook
before US we admonish all Democrats to De
cautious liz joining in the contemplated
movement, fol a surrender of mans
political Independence is thing not lightly
to be agreed to. The condition of labor,
which certainly is not oppressed in Vir-
ginia, can be amelioratsd without resorting
to the grand and costly enterprise of
National party, made up of one class of
citizens, who by that very act, must dimin-
ish their weight in the country for any pur-
poses Of practical good,--NorfoM Land

'''Tis strange, passing strange.
Yet tits true,
And pity tits. tits true.

And pity tits. tits true"
Our counsel to all who may be tempted
by those engaged in trying to seduce them
to pay their money to. the bondholders in
stead of to the government, by the payment
of their taxes in coupons, is to reply to them
thus :-"Get thee behind me. Satan"
1t might not be out of place to ask them,
how it comes that they are now such friends
of the "cut-werms Of the treasury" What
potent agency has converted their embt-
tered hostility to tho ''cut-worms" into
such loving friendship for them? Do they
wish to see the government bankrupt, the
free achoels closed, the insane unprovided
for, the pupils OF the D. D. & B. Institution
sent TO their homes without the possibility
of being educated or, if not, do they wish
to have the taxes doubled? If the taxes to
any considerable amount shall be paid in
coupons, then one or the other of the alter
natives Just mentioned will be inevitable.
The duty of the Taxpayers is plain, and
that is to pay their taxes in money, ard to
spurn every suggestion to pay in coupons
as an insult TO their patriotism and sense Of
right and Justice to their State and fellow :
taxpayers
1t is wholly with the taxpayers whether
they will aid to wreck or save the govern
ment and the public schools. If they pay
in coupons, they aid in bankrupting the
State government and destroying the pub
lie sshools-if they pay in money, they will
do their part towards sustaining and pre-,
serving both. VIII you wreck or save?
Choose We this day which ye will do.
Let your action be controlled by patriot
ism and justice, and not by blind and
greedy cupidity that would in the end de-
feat its own object fer if taxes be paid in
coupons, the rate of taxation must be in
creased, or the State government will be
reduced to bankruptcy and ruin.
The fact that some may pay in coupons,
is no reason why you should, for you are
not justified in doing wrong because others
may do so. Each is responsible for his own
act, and the wrong perpetrated by one can
not excuse or exculpate another
If you will pay in money, you will k'aoic
that you have done right, and your con-
science will be easy for that it is right to
pay in money you cannot have the "shadow
of a shade of doubt, but you cannot be
thus certain that it is right to pay in cou-
pons. To be positively sure that you will
do right, pay in money, and then you may
rest assured that neither your conscience
nor your neighbors can reproach you. Pay
in money and do your duty to yourself and
State, and justice to other taxpayers.
"Be sure you are right, then go ahead"
and pay your taxes in money, and then
your conscience will be easy and your re-
pose sweet, 'twith pleasant dreams and
slumbers light )" for the faithful perform
ance of patriotic duty gives placid joy
and peaceful repose. Do your duty-pay
with money.

Death of Ex-President Chester A. Arthur.

Ex-President Chester A. Arthur died at
5 O'Clock last Thursday morning, the 18th
inst, at his residence in n. Y. city, OF
apoplexy, resulting from the bursting of a
blood-vessel, which caused paralysis of the
whole of bis right side. In notice of his
death, the Richmond State says:-
ssFor many months Nj. Arthur had bee
in ill-healtb, and his passingaway was not
unexpected No man of high position was
ever more the creature of accident A law
yer of moderate ability and successful
local politician, his skill in party manage
ment won him what was considered at the
time the empty honor of second place on
the presidential ticket eff 1880, which was
chosen by majority of the electoral votes
of the country. But Garfield fell by the
hand of the assassin and Chester A. Arthur,
who a few months before had not dreamed
that he would ever hold the highest office
in the land, found home in the White
House. His administration was quiet and
uneventful. But one serious blot marred
it, and that was the bargain with Malone,
by which that Senator's vote was bought
with the Federal patronage in Virginia
By this act Mr.. Arthur forfeited the good
will OF thousands, VINO, though they were
members of another party than his, had
till that time had no other feelings concern
ing him than thfse of kindness.
Whatever critic SIN MIR. Arthur may have
deserved as q politician, in social life he
was polished, gracious, and heart
ed. His impulses were warm, and he
gathered many sincere friends about him.
His married life, it is said, was singuary
happy one, and when it was ended by death
he continued till his last days faithfully to
mourn one of the most lovely and accom-
plished of women.
! Mr.. Arthur will be remembered, not as
q statesman of great force and usefulness,
but as man who, called suddenly to a
high post of responsibility for which he
had had no previous training, discharged
its duties in manner that, if not brilliant,
was in the main satisfactory"

PAYMENT of Taxes-Pay in Money not
in Coupons.
gIeRr, JUsTIoE, AND PATRIOTISM DE-
MAND IT.

It affords us pleasure to be enabled to
state that our citizens are paying up their
taxes 80 promptly with money, and not
with coupons 1t is creditable Vo-them thai,
as yet, not single person has offered :"
pay his city taxes in coupons. and we nope
that none will do so. Within one day last
week. there was paid to the City Treasurer
one.tenth of all the taxes due by the citi-
zens of this city. This shows how well
they are paying up. We hope the citizens
of the county will emulate the example OF
those of the city, and that they likewise
will pay their taxes with money and not
with coupons for the man who pays in
coupons pays his money to the bondholder,
and does not pay single cent for the sup
port of the Government, the free schools,
or the charitable institutions Of the State.
The burdens of government should fall
equally upon all the citizens in proportion
to their ability to bear them, and hence it
is wrong for one portion, and especially that
portion most able to bear them, to place all
the burdens for the support of the Govern
ment upon the other portion least able to
bear them. This is not right, and our cltl-
zens we feel assured, if they will give this
subject due and impartial consideration,
will so conclude, and will do their duty as
good and patriotic citizens by paying their
taxes in money, so that it will 60 to the
support of the government, of the free
schools, and of the charitable and beneficent
institutions of the State, and not into the
pockets of the bondholders and that Of
their agents, as it would do if they paid in
coupons. 1t is a remarkable fact that the
presses and prominent members Of the very
party that made the greatest cutlery against
the coupons, which the ablest man of their
party denominated the "cut-worms of the
Treasury" are now, with questionable
motives, using their efforts to induce the
people to pay their taxes in coupons. They
are now the friends of these "cut-worms OF
the treasury" and are fostering and feed
ing them at the expense of the government,
free schools, charitable institutions, &C.
They have become the agents of the very
bondholders they were wont to denounce in
such severe terms.
