In addition to the excess of pub
lie officials as above indicated, there
is a multitude of petty officials in
Virginia with which North Caro-
lima is not afflicted. and we have
alre ady seen that an attempt was
made by the last Legislature to
fasten on us 100 additional office
holders, and we witness the as
founding spectacle of an organized
refusal of public officials to let their
accounts be examined, upon the
avowed ground that it would catch
too many of them shortl

We should think that the rea.

every intelligent and patriotic
Virginian to vote for q new con-

Compare our administrative expen-
ses with those of North Carolina
and Georgia:

Virginia's are nearly three times
North Cardinals and more than
double Georgia's, and $15S,OOO.OO
greaters than North Cardinals

Virginia's criminal expenses are
S410,l95 30 per annum with her
122 courts, and North Carolin 5
only 500, 1866 with her 10 courts!
Thus our criminal expenses are
five times greater than North

Virginia's educational system
cost her taxpayers S1,62O, 900.
North Carollna's, with a larger
daily atteedance, cost 800, 900.
Upon authentic.returns from 33

With these facts aud figures
staring him in the face, threaten
ing his pocket-boOk and perpet-
ual menace to his political
freedom, how any sane Virgin ian
can hesitate to vote for a constitu.

years ago and it was too small, and
we are afraid our friends down the
river will make the same mistake.
The plant is sure to do good bust

are from 100 to $50 schools in the
state which are minus teachers. As
usual thing there are several APP
plicants for each school. 1t is evil
dent that many Of those who have
heretofore depended on school teach
ing for livelihood are now employ
ed in various other ways and are
commanding better pay than is to
be had for teaching.

for water.

MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

The local money market ruled at per cent for
call loans Berlin discounts were easier. and Lon
don rates remained around per cent Time money
shows an easier tendency More business is being
done at 5k per cent for periods Of less than six
months The collateral required in these transac-
tions Is railroad stock. One loan OF 100000 was
made Yesterday at 515 per cent for four months.
Business is being done fair adnixture of in
dustrlal shares at per cent for six months There
has not been any noteworthy change in the mer-
camille paper market. No gold will be shipped to-
day, and indications do not favor shipments at
any time this week, save a small shipment to
Buenos Ayres tomorrow. The statement made IN
this column yesterday regarding the withdrawal
by the Bank of England OF its concession Of In
terest on gold shipments while in transit con-
frmed by foreign houses. The Bank of England
evidently needs no gold at present.
