ONE OF THE WORST SIGNs-We agree
with the Norfolk Landmark that zone Of
the worst signs Of the times is found in the
sickly sentimentality which cries out for
executive elem ency for Cluverius. He had
a fair trial, be was ably defended, and the
jury agreed upon his guilt. These facts
ought to settle the ueston."
What impresses us as very strange is the
fact that number of females in good So
ciety sympathize with Cluverius and think
he should not be hung, though he has com
mitted a double crime against their sex.
If he had not added to his other crime that
of "murder, most foul and damnable," it
would not be so wonderful, for, strange as
it may seem, it is yet true that females SYM
pathize with the gay Lotha;ios" whilst
they mercilessly condemn their victims.
We wonder, that every female does not
feel a burning indignation against Cluver-
ius for the double crime he has inflicted up
on one of their sex.
The intelligence and social position of
Cluverius, and the fact that he was the
of a Sunday School, add to
the enormity of his crimes, and make him
more deserving of punishment. None be-
lieve him innocent, but some believe that
the evidence was not SO perfectly conclusive
as to justify the jury in rendering the YER
dict they did. That he is guilty, and that
the verdict of the jury was right, we are
convinced beyond ga rational Doubt

Both parties are committed to revenue
reform--ard the difference between the
platforms On that particular point is equal
to nothing. The interests of the South
should nnt be overlooked in the revision,
and every democrat ought to know that
Southern interests are rot safe in Republl-
c&n hands and that when it comes to the
pinch the South should entrust this reform
to party Of national breadth and not to =
sectional enc, such as the Republican party
has shows itself to be.
Coming Down to part Of the South, to
our own State, it ought to be perfectly plain
that we c. mot afford, like tho dog in the
fable, to make dash for the shadow and
lose the meat already in our mouths. The
Republcan party in Virginia, representing
moth .ng that either free traders or prOteo-
tionists demand, is always Eorganized and
always prepared to give the shadow for the
substance-to wrest from US, the Saxon
race, the control of affairs which, on &C
count of tie relative value ofthe stakes, and
the advantages of character aud training,
are our especial conSern. They may differ
on an eoouomie question like the tariff, but
they never divide at thu polls. In that is
their strength and our weakness; and in
that, whore that party is nass Of uned-
ucatsd voters, as in Virginia, is the chief
menace TO our civilization. In other words,
cur civiliz ltion ID at stake and involved in
the maintenance of the Democratic party
and we OF the South cannot now afford to
divide upon any issue. = Charlottesville JEFF

The Coupon Question.

Our good friend d. is termentsd by
groundless fears that the wheels of govern
meut will be locked and operations Of the
government stopped, if the people use cou-
pens in payment of their taxes.-Petersburq
IndeG-Appeal.
Well, the fact is that, according to the
latest statement, the unpaid coupons now
duo amount to more than So, 100000, whils
the whole annual taxes of the State amount
only to 50, $50, 600. IF therefore, all of our
annual taxes are paid in coupons it is mani
fest that they will absorb every dellar of
the revenue and leave the treasury without
dollar for other purposes. Or, even if
only half Of the taxes were to be paid il
coupons then the government could not be
run with only the other one half, and the
treasury would be entirely empty and pow
erless to take care Of it's necessary expenses.
70 encourage our people under this con-
dition Of things to pay their taxes in oou-
pons, in order to save few individual del
lars, is unquestionably to paralyze the State,
and If persisted in, will necessarily result
in increased taxation Or downright and dis
graceful Reputation all along the line.
If the bondholders will accept the Riddle
berger bill, which both parties have made q
finalty, the whole question will be at once
adjusted to the manifest advantage Of both
debtor and creditor. To fail to do 30, ygi!l
only keep the question a continued source
of discord and confusion, and make the
matter worse COMPOUNDED to tbs bondhold-
er as well as the creditor. When both Of
the political parties OF the State. as we'll as
the great body of the taxpayers and people,
are agreed upon this basis of fiDal settle
ment we think it extremely unfortunate
and unwise in our press and psopls 10 en-
courage any other view Of the question, or
mode of adjustment.
To this complexion the matter will have
tc come at last, and the longer it is delayed
by these far reaching and impracticable
agencies in another direction, the worse it
will be for all parties and interests concern

not to be enforced? Was i. intended as a
