The Debt Commission Bill of
which we made mention last week
has passed the Virginia Legislature
and is now a law. This bill pro-
vides for the payment of the Virgin
ia debt according to the Riddleber.
ger act and for settlement with this
State. From the facts we believe
we are justified in saying that while
the speculative holders of the West
Virginia certificates have by the pro-
visions Of this bill solved and re.
leased Virginia from the payment of
such certificates and have consented
TO take their chance Of getting their
money from West Virginia, the prob.
ability that they will ever get very
much out of our treasury is not at
all reassuring. - IH9cr.

We notice by a number of our ex.
changes that r. Lipscomb, Esq, a

this year of grace, a. d., 1886.
Mr.. Linscomb is already the in
cumbent of an honorable and lucra.
tive position-that of Prosecuting
Attorney for the county of Tucker
and we think he should stand back.
for while at least, and give some Of
his less favored Democratic brethren
an opportunity to reap honors and
emoluments.
As an able lawyer, and a man pos
sessing all the essential elements Of a
dignified craftsmanship, which, com
bined with his extens We knowledge
Of the origin and history Of our con.
stitutiOnal form Of government, Mr.
Lipscomb would be a formidable foe
in Congressional debate But, not
withstanding all this, we believe
there are others in the party who are
more available for the Congressional
candidacy, and who, we believe, with
perseverance and practice, would be
able to represent as in Congress "a
ably as Mr.. Lipscomb could wish 10
do.
We hope that Mr.. Lipscomb will
conclude not TO go to Congress. but
that he will lend his convincing logic

OUR friend Dawson, of the Jour
nal. will probably figure in the Re-
publican district convention as a
candidate for Congressional nomina-
ton. Of course he would be defeat
ed if nominated, but we should be
pleased to see him get the nomina-
ton just for whatever OF honor there
would be in it. Dawson is one of the
ablest and best men the Republicans
have in their party in this district,
but he trains with the wrong party
to ever expect to go to Congress
from this district.
