SUMMER NORTH AND SOUTH.

There is popular notion that the exemp-
ton from excessively cold weather which the
South enjoys in winter is balanced by the
greater heat which prevails in this section in
summer as compared with the climate Of the
Northern States.
II summer climate is judged by its effect
upon the human system. then even at this
season the South has a right 10 claim SUPERB
ority over the North in the matter of climate.
Compare, for instance, the reports which
have in the last two days been received
from New York city with the record OF
the same length of time in this city.
The New York papers for Tuesday and
Wednesday. when the heat rose to its greatest
height. gave a graphic account Of the general
prostration which was observed in that city
among all classes Of people whose business re-
CURED them 10 expose themselves TO the rays
Of the sun. very large number Of deaths
occurred as tho result Of sunstrOke, and in
Vulnerable persons were thoroughly disabled
by the oppression of the oYerheated atmos-
phere.
While for the same period there was much
suffering from the heat in this city, yet so far
as We are aware there was no case Of sun
stroke. and the number Of those Frustrated
by its effects has been too small to attract any
general attention. This will be found to be
the case throughout the heated season. Rich
mond, although lying so much further south,
enjoying comparative immunity from that
fatality resulting from overheating which will
be a feature Of life in the Northern cities until
the autumn shall bring a more temperate
season.
The explanation Of this difference is to be
found in several causes First the frame Of
the Southerner is probably better adapted by
acclimatzation to withstand the effects Of
heat Then again the changes are not 80
sudden. More careful provision is also made
in Southern communities for the heat of
summer. just as more careful provision is
made at the North for the GOODNESS of winter.
Our cities, for the population which they
contain. cover a wider area Of space, and are,
therefore. more open for the circulation Of
air.
In summer the Northern States seem TO On
JOY one advantage only over the Southern,
and that is that the season is not extended
over as long period of time, but while it
lasts it appears to be just as severe if not
severer, judging by the effect upon the human
frame, than the same season in Virginia, if
not in all OF the States OF the South.

the other hand to reject affair accounting
and thus invite further controversy ana Ut
Law. We do not however, see how TINS can
bennen The bondhoiders' committee wouid
never have been formed 10 take IN the Donds

position as is embodied IN the resolution o,
the State appointing its joint commission ano
the personnel OF the coillllssl4n, 'no ~ !;
tee and the advisory board also make u
evident that on a less assured basis the work
would not have been undertaken.
The principles Of the act OF February ~,
1859 ii e. the Riddleberger bill are clearly
defined therein. and a settlement should only
be a matter OF computation II the commls-
sion and the committee cannot agree on the
figures. let them select any good accountant
in Virginia, or out Of II, and act upon his I'M
biased report.
We cannot inform our readers how far nego-
tiatiOns have progressed or IN what form they
are but we sincerely hope that the bond
holders committee and the State commission
will recognize that the settlement OF the debt
by the action Of both houses of the legisa-
ture of the State has ceased 20 be question
Of political issue.
IL is mere conjecture on OR part that the
commission and the committee are not agreed
upon the principles of tho act of February u,
1882 IL they are not agreed u would appear
20 require only short period for them 10
come together. because the principles are so
clear that any issue only means a barter for
terms This is strictly true Il the joint reso-
luton appointing the commission IS to govern
its action: but it political instead Of business
conditions are to govern, then we cannot
understand why the commission was ap-
pointed.
The State and the bondholders' committee
are both pledged 10 settle the debt on the
principle of the Riddleberger bill. Make
your computations and settle, clear the imam
cial atmosphere and give local ind tres
whose fate hangs in tho balance the peneue
of the settlement.

Tux excellent progress being made towards
q final and thorough settlement Of our State
debt is well expressed in cheerful article in
the last issue of that most excellent and Judi
cious journal, the New York Commercial aud
Financial Chronicle, the greater portion of
which we give in another column. When a
debtor is brought face TO face with his credi-
tor for a settlement of the debt upon terms
demanded by the debtor and conceded by the
creditor it is hard to see how there can be
miscarriage ii there is good faith
on both sides. Virginia has ever
declared that she would pay to her utmost
ability, and what this is has been determined
IN the Riddleberger act. The creditors seem
