Virginians and English bondholderS of the State are of the opinion that the US. Government ought to pay for the act of unconstitutionally sev- ering the State and creating State (West Virginia) within State con- trary te the rule prescribed by the Constitution, and leaving saddled upon the State of Virginia the debt created for the benefit of the State be- fore its dismemberment by the act of the extemporized convention which met in Wheeling, June 20, 1861, and elected State officers. Francis H. Pie1pont was chosen Governor of what was then called the State of Kanawhs, and who certified the election of Messrs. Wiley and Carlile as Sena- tors, under the seal of the State of Virginia, as successors of Mason and Hunter who had identified themselves with the Confederate States. As the bonded indebtedness of the State was issued in the name of the State of Vir- ginia, and the act of the Wheeling convention being recognized as war measure and binding upon the United States, major part of the original State considered itself released from the obligation. Hence the inability ot Virginia to pay her bonded indebt- edness contracted before the war, and the anxiety of creditors that Congress should provide for the payment of that portion justly chargeable to West Virginia. There is equity in this claim, and while West Virginia will not, Congress should respond

4 MAN OF MARK.

General Patrick A. Collins, who pre- sided with eminent ability over the National Democratic Convention, IS what IS popularly known as a self made man, who has risen to promi- hence through inherent qualities of perseverance and talent. He is na- tive of Fermoy, county of Cork, Ire land, and has been a resident of Mas sachusetts twenty years.
 For time he lived in Ohio, and as "a broth of a boy" gained livelihood by hard work on a farm and n the coal mines. At the age of 16 years. impatient of his humble and ungenial environment, he returned to Massa- chusetts and apprenticed himself to an upholsterer. When 19 years of age he was earning SIS week, and at 24 was foreman of big upholster- ing shop, and had saved from his wages $1100, and at that youthful age hls capabilities were recognized and he was elected to the lower house of the State Legislature, and matricula- ted at Harvard law school.
 He then began the study of law. He served two years in the lower house and was then chosen to the State Senate for two years, after which having completed his law stud ies, he was admitted to practice. He was once defeated by 43- votes as a candidate for State Senator, but sub sequently was elected to Congress and has served in the 18th, 18th and 50th sessions, and is a member of the Judi ciary Committee.

THE VIor.PREsIDENCY.

The selection of Allen G. Thurman for the second place on the ticket will appear to thinking men to be more advantageous to the Democratic party than to the candidate. Thurman s popularity with the masses of his par ty as well as with a large body of voters whose party .fealty IS not fixed, IS undoubtedly great. But it IS also fact that can not be gainsayed that this man who has in former years been tower of strength to the Dem- ocratlc cause, has been ignored by his party, and men of far less ability and integrity preferred before him iu the distribution of political honOrs and rewards.
 The history of the party does not recerd an instance of such unpardon- able ingratitude as has been shown toward Thurman; and that the old man would accept this Sop in retrIbu tion for this inexcusable and persistent disregard of his claims seems incom- prehensible. It would seem as though such tardy and equivocal recognition, if Thurman is clothed in hls right mind, would be regarded by him rath- ST as au affront.
 Thurman lsy n his seventy-slxtlf, year and his thread of life may at any time be severed: Tn explanation of his selection, in view of his great age, it is asserted by "Gath" that in the event of the success of the Democrats at the polls in Novem Der, and in case the President and Vlee-President should both die before the expiration of their term of office, that Bayard would become the chief executive of the United States, under a law recent ly passed making the Secretary of State the successor in case of the de- mise of both the President and Vice. President. The effect of the law is to greatly diminish the importance of, if not to eliminate entirely from the question of the availability of candi- date for the Yice-Presldency, the con- sideratlon of his age and physical vigor.

IEL-CoNsIDERED LEGISLATION.

On May 18th a bill for the relief of John H. Marion passed the House of Representatives. In 1881. Marion contracted with the Quartermaster's Department of Arizona 10 furnish at Whipple Barracks a quantity of wild hay, and trusted to the usually plen- teous growth of gramma grass upon the prairie north of Whipple to enable him to fill his contract. But a severe drought that summer afflicted the grass crop. and Marion made no at- tempt to deliver either wild or tame hay, and the Quartermaster at Whip pie purchased III open market and commenced suit in the District Court at Prescott to recover the sum of $1042 45, the same being the difference between the contract and open market price. Judgment was recovered against MaTIon and his contract sureties, and the bill just passed relieves them from its payment.
 Courts in this Territory and else where, in similar eases, have lnvaria- ply ruled that the contractor when he undertakes to furnish tue Government with supplies also takes the risks of in- reference with his plans by act of God, and that such an occurrence does net relieve him from his responsibility, and in the face of such judicial rulings 1t is unwise legislation that establishes the precedent for relief in such cases. As well might the contractor purchase in open market as the Quartermaster. Because there happened to be no gramma grass at the place that Ma rion contemplated, that is no reason why he could not obtain gramma at some other polnt. The Government did so, and that shows that it or other hay was obtainable.
