TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1G.

TWAS stated in the local columns of yes.
terdav's GAZETTE that Mr.. Lucas, the agent
for the sale of Virginia coupons in this city,
had already made large sales Of those cou-
pons, and that a great many people Of the
city would pay their State taxes this year
with such coupons. Had the offer of the
boudholders been accepted not single cou
BON would have gone into the State treasury
this wear, for all of them would have been
refunded in new bonds, and there would
have been none left to tender in payment Of
taxes. There is some talk about an extra
session of the Legislature. The only con.
ceiyable excuse for mourning the expense of
such session would be the way it would
afford of accepting the bondhoders' propo-
stion, and thus of stopping at once and eff
fectualy the flow Of deprecated coupons
into tie treasury which has now COM
menced, and which, under the sanction Of
the highest court in the land, will increase
daily until all the States dues will be paid
with them, and she be left without the
means to carry On her government. Her
creditors have relieved her of one. third other
Indebtedness, and they now propose to &C.
cept in settlement Of the remaining two
thirds only what is left of her revenue after
sll her expenses have been provided for.
Could more LIBERAL terms be expected
Yes, an extra session Of the Legislature
should he held, and the offer OF the States
creditors be accepted as soon as possible.
Why it has not been accepted before passes
the comprehension OF every body outside OF
Virginia. and that of most of the right
thinking people within the limits of the
State.

Mr.. ROBERT INGERsoLL says: "No man
has right to own more land than he can
use, and no man who wants land to use
ought to be deprived of it," A man has a
right to own more money, bonds, stocks and
buildings than he can use, and men who
want either to use can be deprived of it.
but the line, according to Mr.. Ingersoll,
should be drawn at land. Mr.. Ingersoll
may make men who own no land adopt
his theory, but if they should by any means
become land owners, it goes without saying
that he would have great difficulty in in
ducing them to put that theory into prac-
