The I" big ten," rs they were character
lied by the little six" were exultant as
was also Hugh NJ. La Rue, a candidate for
Railroad Commissioner, in whose interest,
it is said, the selection was made. Their
broad grin changed, however, to an insipid
smile when the Secretary, David Bever-
idge, refused to sign the certificate of their
election. Matters now began to assume
somewhat of a serious aspect. Hugh NJ.
La Rue walked up to Mr. Beverage in the
saloon of the hotel, and told him he must
attach his signature. By way of emphasis
to his demand, he referred to the fact that
Mr.. Beveridge held a position at Mare
Island, which he would lose if the demand
was not acceded to. Add c. Hinkson, at
this juncture, stepped in front OF Mr.. Bever-
idge and told him he was "no man at all
if he allowed La Rue to bulldoze him, and
if he signed the certificate it was evidence
that he had no backbone" The Secretary
was positive in his refusal, and was soon
surrounded by score Of admiring Demo-
cratic politicians, while La Rue and his
delegation and committeeman retired to
consider the situation.
Things began to look serious. The split
was wide one, and the breach became
wider every time the opposing factions
met.
The Little Six" went into caucus. They
claimed that the committee had been ma
nipulated by outsiders, and they had been
ostracized. This they would not submit
to. They discussed the situation were
convinced that they were right; that they
represented the simon pure Democracy
that the big Ten" were owned and con-
trolled. body and boots, by LaRue; that
such high-handed action was not in the in
terest of the party; that the success of the
county ticket must not be jeopardized by
wandering to one mans ambition that
primary election was demanded by the
people that the last County Convention
had recognized that fact and passed reso-
luton that such Convention should be
held. They then decided to take the bull
by the horns ignore the one-man rule"
action of the majority, and issue
call for Convention. They
called TO their aid a score of leading politi-
clans. and after consultation the call was
made and is published in the advertising
columns of the RECORD UNION this morn
ing.
1t is seldom that somuch terror is noticed
in the unterrified camp. They sat up
all night whereasing and resoluting and
Sunday morning bright and early their
proclamation was distributed around town
in the shape of a neatly-prlnted pamphlet,
which calls Tor primary elecllon on tues
day, to select delegates TO q County Con-
vention to be held on Wednesday. The
Convention is to nominate ticket for
county officers, and select delegates TO the
State and District Conventions.
The "split in the Democratic party was
the aIl-absorbing topic of conversation in
political circles yesterday. The Republic
cans looked on and smiled, and the Demo-
Gratis were anxiously looking around for
barrel of oil to throw upon the troubled
waters.

Special Dispatch TO tho Alexandria GAzETTE)
RICHMOND, March 2.-In the House OF
Delegates to-day Mr.. Fulkerson offered the
following resolution proposing to create
censois of the House press reports. The
resolution proposes that two members of
this House, appointed by the Speaker to
act with him, shall constitute a committee
who shall prescribe and report rules that
shall govern the reports of the proceedings
made by the reporters Of the press who may
be granted the privileges of the floor.
The burden of Mr.. Fulkersons complaint
seemed to be that the newspaper reporters
mad it in their power to suppress as much
OF the debates as they see fit. This often
placed members, Mr.. Fulkerson thought, in
an unfair position before the people.
Mr.. Fulkerson has spoken as often as any
member of the House this session, and his
speeches have been as fully reported by tho
press. Iessrs. Dunlop, Cardwel, Wise,
Waad;i and Martin defended the reporters,
and opposed the resolution. B. P. %.

The PROPOSITION for the appointment of
debt commission by the Legislature has
been abandoned. AS the proposed commits
sion was only for the purpose of informing
the creditors of the true condition of the
financial affairs of Virginia, and of urging
them to accept the terms of the Riddleber-
ger bill, the determination to abandon the
proposition is the wisest that could have
been reached, inasmuch Us the creditors are
more correctly informed upon all matters
relating to or affecting the State debt than
the Legislature seems to be, and as, even
before the United States Supreme Court
had decided in their favor, they had posi-.
lively declared they would never settle
their claims against the State upon the
terms Of the Riddlebeger bill. There would
have been the best of reasons for the ap.
pointment of commission empowered to
treat with the creditors for the settlement
of the debt upon the most favorable terms
they would accept land it is understood
they would have made large CONCESSIONS
but it was just the reverse az respects one
which was only to tell the creditors what
they already knew, and to ask them to accept
terms which they had already rejected.

TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 2.

THE RICHMOND DtSpatch, once "nAooS
the advocates of the payment OF the state
debt, but now training with the repudia1ofs.
doesn't DENY the GAzETTE's statement thaV
the revenue of Virginia under the new as
ssssment will be sufficient to pay her eA-
penses, including the interest on the deo''
but opposes the payment OF thaS lnteies'
for the remarkable reason that the creditors
live out of Virginia, aud that the oIa's
would therefore be drained OF her money
In other words, that the location OF creoi-
tor affects the character of his claim, and
that while it would be wrong for the State
TO rob her own citizens, it is right that she
should rob citizens of other countries. In
the language of ex-senator Thurman, such
morality won't do" The foreigners who
lent the State their money in order that
she might build her railroads, didn't raise
that money in the State, but sent 1t to Vlr'
gnia from abroad; and to pay them the In
terest on it, instead of draining the Slate OF
her money, would be only returning them
a small portion of what they have sent here.
And, besices, many of her creditors are cit
liens of Virginia, and poor ones, too
But they fare no better than the foreigners
all are robbed alike. Another remarkable
reason assigned by the Dispatch for robblng
the creditors is that to pay them would be
doing Injustice to those who have refunded
their claims under the Riddleberger bill
In other words, that because some of the
creditors, under the impression that they
we're in the power of highwaymen, gave up a
large share of their bonds in order that
they might save the little remainder, those
who had an abiding faith in Virginia's hon
or and honesty, and believed that all would
be right when she came to her own again,
and therefore refused to surrender any oil
theirs except the one-tbird for West Vlr-
ginia, shall fare no better. Such reasons, so
far from mitigating the erormity of State
repudiation, only add to it the revolving
feature of grotesqueness. The Constitution,
which declares that no State shall pass q
law impairing the obligation of contract,
and the Supreme Court of the United
States, both declare that the coupons oil
Virginia bonds shall be received for all
State dues, and until Virginia shall be able
by force of arms to set both at defiance they
will have to be so received. And the soon
er she makes arrangements with her .cred-
tors for accepting as small 40 amount OF
them as they are willing to agree upon, the
better it will be for her and for every body
within her borders
