HOUSE.
Rev. George Elliott, of The Foundry
church, Of Washington, opened the proceed
ngs of the House to-day with prayer, in
which, referring TO the unfortunate occur
renee of yesterday, he said
Almighty God, who by the Command,
ments and example of our Lord Jesus Christ
hast inclined US in the exercise of charity to
all them who are sick or in prison, We I'm
plore Thy mercy on the men who have lifted
up the hands OF violence and blood In the
presence of justice and in the very home of
order, and who are, the one 10 the bondage
Of pain and the other of the Law. Grant
unto them deep contritlon of heart and true
repentance of sin, that they may obtain q
cure trust in Thy mercy and the comfort Of
Thy pardon. And, o, God, Thou who
knowest the secrets of all our hearts, wheth
ar We ourselves are inwardly better than
those We condemn, have mercy on us. Keep
US from the occasion and opportunity of evil
and from the ways OF sinful shame. Let no
pride or saf-seeking, no oovetousness or
revenge, no improper Imagination or base
passion or violent temper poliute our soul or
degrade our words or actions.

The LEGISLATURES says the people OF the
State are 50 poor that they can hardly pay
the taxes already imposed upon them. Aud
yet, the same legislature raises the price OF
the meat her poor people have to eat, i'm
poses an additional tax on her poor people
who have investei their little savings IN
building associations, lays tax of fve dol
lars on her poor people whose business CON-
pels them 10 use teIephouss. and creates
uaeless commissions to slill further deplete
her embarrassed treasury. The taxes 1t
might have laid that would have oppressed
no body and benefited the State, such as q
dog tax, an Oyster tax, and high liquor
license tax, 1t basIst alone. Truly the pres

ers of Virginia bonds don't expect the prln
c;nal of those bonds to be paid during their
life time. They have already surrendered
one-third of that principal, and they don't
intend to surrender any more. They are
perfectly willing to have the payment Of
what they still hold put off as long as it may
plesss the State to do 30. But they natu
rally desire to have it secured. They are
also willing to accept only such interest az
the State can afford to pay. When this city,
after the war, found it impossible to pay the
interest on her bonds, she called her credit.
ora together, showed them her books, and
proposed to scale the debt down one half
The proposition was rel scted at once. But
the creditors said 1--WE see you are unable
70 nav the contract Interest on our bonds
without raising your tax rate, which your
people won't stand. We will not agree to
reduction In the amount Of the capital OF our
bonds for the natural reason that all men
would rather hold 81 900 bond though ii
only drew $50 interest, than one of sou
d.awing the same amount. Therefore, let
the principal remain as 1t is, but postpone
its payment as long as you choose, and re
duoe the interest to the rate you can afford
to pay" This proposition was accepted
and the city debt was honorably and salts
faotorily settled. Similar terms have been
offered by the States creditors, but have
been rejected, the consequence being the de
structiou of the States credit, yearly in
crease in her Indebtedness as we'll as in her
expenditures, and a gross Injustice to her
many poor people, who have to pay their
taxes with good money, while her few rich
