THE POOR OLD STATE.

On last Tuesday, there was quite a
snirited discussion in the Senate OF VIZ
ginia as to who was to pay for the Baily
speech which proved that every dollar OF
our money is now worth two dollars. As
the free silver men were in the large ma
;or;tv II was soon settled that the pay
was to come out ofthe treasury of Vir'
0inia. As Mr.. Bailey oaly came from
Washington to Richmond, the cost Of this
nolitical speech, as stated in the Senate
will only be from $25O.OO to $500. If the
orgument advanced in Mr.. Bailey's
speech be sound, the real cost Of this po
litical speech to the members Of the Legs
lsture was from $4,000 to $1,000. Mer
who for three months have been trying
10 reduce State expenses by cutting dowI
witnesses fees, OF those Of Justices who
receive but 30 cts. for the trial of cause
and then spend five hundred dollars o
the peoples money to bring man from
Washington to teach them that oul
money is 100 good and ought to be
cheaper, richly deserve being sent back
to Richmond again, ever if they don't 60

crAdit Where Credit is Due

The Rockingham Register, smar''hs
Under the defeat of the Rockingham
Turnpike bill, says: 1--WE would not iof
= r,oment belittle the achievement oil al
old friend like MI Bauserman' out we
donh, if he would feel comfortable De-
decked with laurels which properly De-
long to somebody else
NJ Rauserman does not desire any
lsurels of that kind. but at the same ume
tnows that the Register has endeayored
80 nlsce what properly belongs to hlm
,cor the brow Of another. The laclS
40. Mr. switzer introduced bill when
did not propose to reduce the 'ol,
n,on,sed 70 take the management OF the
road out of the hands of the company
and place it into the hands oil the nos,''
&c Sn,ervisors of the several counties
Mr. Bauserman opposed Mr.. Sw''zer ;
hill and offered substitute for it, ana
the substitute was passed by the Leglsla-
ture The Registsr, therefore thinks the
credit belongs to Mr.. Switzer. People
who know the facts will not agree WIN
il.
Astbe Editor of the Register was once
= Shenandoah man, the following ning
will he appreciated: "Mr. Bausermah
properlv represented his county, no DOUBT
because it appears to be necessary lot 'ne
reon,e Of Rockingham to contribute
toward keeping up the road in shenan-
doah and the people of Shenandoah are
naturally satisfied with that arrangement
The people of Shenandoah pay for the
pse of the road the same that the ROCK
ingham people pay-every man pays ior
what he gets. A few years ago, as
tructive freshet destroyed several bridges
in Shenandoah. while none were destroy
el in Rockingham, and the amount Vi
money expended on the road IN oheh"n'
doab exceeded that expended in Rock
ingham. and hence this Editor says 1t
appears to be necessary for the people OF
Rockingham to contribute towards
keeping up the road in Shenandoah &c
Ifhe had reflected upon the SUBJECT,
he might have added that the salarleu
officers of the company, for the last forty
wears or more have been from the county
of Rockingham" We have never heard
of any complaints, nor have we heard Oh
any Rockingham Editor complaining
because in certain years, tho proportion
ate expenses was greater in Shenandoah
than in Rockingham.
