vender, who YVES stricken with smallpox

Turbulent Greece.
Congress-.

ATHENS, Jan. 26.-The government organ
asserts that Sir Horace Rumbold, the British
Minister, in imparting to the Greek govern
msnt Premier Salisbury's note informing
Greece Of Eng'and's attitude, used language
tending to break the relations existing be.
tween England and Greece.
London, Jan ga dispatch from Vienna
to the Times, says that Lord Salisbury &
note to Greece was due to the fact that he
had heard that Greece was about to issue
lstters of marque to privateers. 1t is re
ported that the finances Of Greece arc not
in hourshing condition. The public is
chary to subscribe to patriotic loan.
Constantnople, Jan. 26.-It is reported
that the Greek feet is going to Crete. The
Porte has dispatched circular mole to the
Powers asking them to assist in prompt
settlement of the Grecian difficulty.
London, Jan. 26.-The Greek Minister
has been interviewed in reference 10 the
possibility of war between Greece and Tur-
key. He denied that the government OF
Greece had any intention OF issuing letters
of marque in the event of hostilities break
ing out. His government, he said, had II
sufficient number of vessels to cope with
Turkey without rcsorting to such ali ex-
treme measure. Greece, has no desire TO
follow tho Alabama experiences of England.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.-The Journal de
ST. Petersburg says it believes that Greece
will still resist the promptngs of passion
and will find that course in opposition to
tina will Of Europe is useless in view Of Eu
rope's determination to admit Of no change
in territory which would infringe on the
treaty of Berlin

A PENNSYLVANIA judge has recently de-
cided that The State, county or city is re-
sponsible for the full value Of property de-
stroyed or injured by prohibtory liquor laws
made operative therein. This will set the
taxpayers in Virginia to thinking about their
ability to pay for the distileries, rectifying
establishments, restaurants, bar-rooms, and
other places where liquor is sold, whose
value will BIZ either totally destroyed or i'm
paired by reason Of the prohibitory liquor
law which some of them seem anxious
should be adopted. Moral snasion and high
license, in every point of view, are better
than prohibtory laws for the prevention OF
intemperance.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAzETTE.)
RICHMOND, Va, January 25.-The House
decided to-day to make the railroad COM
missioncr's bill the special order for Tues
day, February 2ad. Judging from the
opinions that have been expressed in regard
to this matter it will take the House at least
day to consider it. Mr.. Munford, of Pitt
sylvania, introduced the bill, and he will be
its champion when it comes up on its en-
grossment. Having SO many sections in it
many opportunities will be offered to pre-
sent amendments.
Speaker Stuart's eulogy upon the late DR..
Keen was we'll delivered. The best eulogy
from the republican side was delivered by
Harris, the colored delegate from Dinwid-
die. Mr. Munford's Grafton was really elo-
quent, and when he was speaking about the
worth and character of the lamented Keen
many eyes moistened, and he was listened TO
throughout with the profoundest attention.
The tragic scene in the House when DR..
Keen suddenly passed away, he solemnly
Speaker, can forget that scene. One mo-
ment with all his accustomed fire and zeal
earnestly maintaining his cause in debate
tho next the light had vanished, the body
stricken, and the spirit gone to its home
above the stars. Thus, in the twinkling of
on eye have his trials and temptations, aspi-
rations and longings, restlessness and excite
ments put to rest, and for him the fever
called living was conquered at last"
The House did not reach vote to-day in
the contested election case Of Finch Vs.
Jones, as The matter Was passed by. 1t will
come up to morrow and probably two more
speeches will be made.
The bill introduced by Senator Williams.
Of Bland, to day, providing for the establish
ment of reform school for youthful crimi-
nails is q measure that will be warmly advo-
Gated by number of legislators, particularly
those living in cities where the necessity of
such school is more apparent than in the
counties The question of establishing such
an institution in Richmond has been agi-
tated for some time, and the interest in the
project is gradually increasing. Bro.

THE DEBT QUESTION hGAiS.--And now
Joint resolution has been iatrcdnredin The
State Senate proposing an amendment 10
the Constitution, in reference TO the State
debt, the preamble of which reciIe5 that
after years OF bitter strife and ;iiscorI among
the people Of Virginia, an act was passed
and became a law known az the klddcEcrg-
or bill, hereby it was hoped TO secure q
final adjustment Of the matters in DISPUTE
between the State and her creditors, and
that the representatives Of the people, with
out regard to party utilization, stood pledged
to such legislation rs would force creditors
into compliance with said law, and that the
creditors had met every effort with stubborn
resistance, and that i; YVES the Fixed and I'M
alterable purpose of the people Of Virginia
never TO pay moro than provided for in tine
Riddleberger bill.
The proposed amendment provides that
all evidences of debt outstanding not already
funded under the RiddlebargeS bill which
are not presented aud funded in accordance
with the provisions of said act within ninety
days after the ratification Of this amend
ment by the people shall be forever barred,
and neither principal nor Interest thereof on
any such outstanding obligations shall ever
be paid by the State, nor shall the holders
thereof ever after be entitled to avail them
selves Of the provisions OF said act, nor shall
any action to enforce the payment Of such
outstanding unfunded obligations ever be
maintained in the courts Of the State The
amendment also declares null and void any
future act of the Legislature which shall
recognize any of the barred obligations.

Fire in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.--The five story
brick building erected by E. P. Morris about
three years since, and one OF the handsomest
on Arch street, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning. The guests in the
st. Cloud Hotel adjoining were frightened,
but quiet was restored before the hotel was
burned. The Harris building opposite was
badly damaged in the front and upper stories.
The loss is heavy both by fire and water.

A BILL has been introduced in the o. S.
Senate providing for the return 10 the own
ers thereof of such jewels, pictures, silver
ware and other private property as were
captured during the war and afterwards
deposited in the Treasury. Very little
property of the sort referred to was depos-
tied in the Treasury, but millions worth
was carried off aud deposited in private
houses in the North. The former will prob
ably be recovered, but for the return of the
latter there is now little or no hope.

ALEXANDRIA,
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26.
ACCORDING TO the GAzETrE's Washing

ACCORDING TO the GAZETrE's Washing
ton correspondence yesterday MIR. Royal
has moved in the United States Supreme
Court to include in the Virginia coupon
cases now before that court new one' IN
which collector who received money Tor
taxes attempts to pay the State in coupons
Few right thinking mea would do what the
collector referred to is attempting to DO, but
still he is justified by the Constitution and
laws. The State, when she exchanged her
bonds with her creditors for money, got
their full value--which she expended on
works of internal improvement-and prom
ised to receive the coupons of those bonds
for taxes in lieu of the interest she would
otherwise have had to pay. 10 comply
With the terms of her contract she must,
therefore, accept the coupons offered by the
collector referred to, and that, too, though
he bought them at reduced price with
the good money he had collected from the
tax payers. The State got her money Tor
them when she issued them, and though 1t
does not seem right that the collector should
collect her taxes in good money, and WIFI
that money buy deprecated coupons, with
which to settle his accounts with her, there
by profting himself greatly, it is highly
probable the law will justify him.
