1t is reported that wheat men are en-
gaging help at 81 per day Is or 100 miles

and good neighbor and we were very
sorry to part with him.
Most OF the settlers were combine on
going two or three days journey to find
work through harvest. But the crons one

THE STATE DEBT COMMISSION.

Afr FP. Oicott and bis associates repre-
ssntinp s2s. ooo. 600 Of the debt of the State of
VIRGINIA are in Richmond seeking to ascer-
tain from the committee appointed by tho
last Legislature of Virginia upon what terms
/ tho State will take up this debt and
remove IL from the arena OF controversy
and contest in courts, and place
ittwhere il can be met. and where it will DO
an evidence 70 the whole world that Virginia
has again resumed her ancient place among
the debt-paying States Of Chris'~ndom.
That the debt is Justly duo the b, dholder
is proved not only by the face Of the bond
itsolf but by repeated legislative ensctments
before the State fell under tho blight OF
Mehoneisn.
The question now IL not what IS due. out
wha. can be paid Neither law nor morals
REQUIRE the State 10 attempt again the impos-
sible. ,n,.l.
But in determining the amount OF the DEBT
"A sum which cannot be fixed as a matnema-
teal certainty. but is in large measure mat
ter OF volition-"where there's VIII 'heIe
a way"-the following considerations should
be given full weight by tie Virginia commit
tee
The enormous advantages which would ac-
crue to tho State from a settlement OF tho
debt. which. like an open and running sore,
is sapping her strength
The increased ability of the State to meet
her liabilities, for though the interests OF
some have declined the prosperity of great
number has advanced, and the general wealth
of tho State is steadily growing
The general desire of the people at largo
to have the debt settled
And lastly
Tho terms which are said TO have been
offered by the bondho1ers must in compar-
ison with their demands when the question
was first agitated. DO conceded to DO mod
crate
Against this We have the anxiety Of the
State Debt Committee to drive good bar
gain. and their possible solicitude az politi-
clans to make or not to make record.
There is perhaps also an idea that the
Olcott Committee have a good Job in this
business. but the amount Of their compenss-
ton is paid by the bondholders. and does not
concern the State "a she pays none OF IT, No
NEGOTIATION Of similar magnitude and difficulty
is conducted without some pay. while the &C
tual expenses are necessarily great. though Of
this We know no more than the public
If the Ocott Committee want TO settle the
debt why should the matter he further post
ponedl Cannot the State Committee meet
the question fearlossly and patriotcally;
when it is generally felt that the bondholders
are suing for peace, if they are driven of, 1t
will be thought that they have met not rep
resentatiye Virginia statesmen, but tinid
politicians

Bocv held position is tho notorious Commits
sioner Green b. Raum. man whose whole
course since his first induction into his I'M

open rancor against the South. and who III

society in general and Of the departments in
particular Such sHdacity should be pun
ished and the necessity of it is no sooner
recognized by the Commissioner than it is
enforced.
Although Mr.. Bogy is Democrat and a
Southerner. we do not believe that the senti-
ment OF the more conservative people of the
North viii approve of the action Of Baum.
Is the official life of Washington SO high
above the great mass Of American citizens
that any man in the employment Of the Gov
eminent who ventures 10 criticize its evils ex-
poses himself 10 the prospect Of dismissal az
certainly as if he had robbed the National
Treasury? This is an extraordinary doctrine
which is utterly inconsistent with the right OK
free speech which belongs to every American.
and which is not supposed to be curtailed
when be becomes q subordinate officeh0lder
The truth IS that Mr.. Bosy's novel threw
no very pleasant light upon that circle in
which Raum is an important figure. and the
resentment which he is showing is not that
Of conscious innocence, but Unconscious guilt.
10 will he recalled that only few weeks ago
he sought with equal Indignation TO dismiss
two leading officials in his department who
had the boldness 10 obstruct him and his
son in very Questionable transaction in
which they were engaged in connection with
the patronage OF the Pension Bureau. The
two officials, however, were so plainly right
that Secretary Noble WAS compelled to sus-
tain them.
Raum, however has not yet recovered from
h -. e...1, L.. r.
ont his wishes, and part Of it is now vented
upon Mr.. Bogy, but the country at large are
likely to acquit the latter from serious blame
simply because his chief nccuser is man who
commands no real respect. not even in the
membership Of that organization upon which
he fawns so openly and to which be panders
so unblushingly for purely selfish reasons.

The address delivered few days ago in

of the responsibility Of the South for the in
PRODUCTION OF slavery into America, and is one
Of the ablest and most complete defenses Of
this section in that connection which has APP
peared in late years from any Southern writer
or speaker. The Young Mems Library Assoeia-

delivered have filed it for permanent preser-
