MONEY DUE VIRGINIA. In addition
to the claim of $12O, 900 and interest
against the national government, due
as money advanced by Virginia in 1871
for the purpose of building the Capitol,
the United States also owes Virginia the
sum of s4l, 900. When Virginia seeded
from the union in 1851 there was in
the treasury of the United States the
amount mentioned, which represented
the States pro rata share of the sum re-
ceived from the sale of certain public
lands. These lands were sold and the
money divided among all the States.
Virginia never received her share and it
is still due her. An effort will be made
to collect the money.

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 10, 1903.

In HIS speech in Chicago last week
Mr.. Henry WattersOn made many OF
his republican hearers vince, while
others through ignorance, discredited his
utterances, but what he said was true to
the letter'and is borne out by history,
although many efforts have been made
in the north TO burying such history IN
oblivion. Among other things Mr..
Watterson said:
The doctrine of secession did not
originate at the south, but at the north;
It was not the south that brought the
negro from Africa, but the north. In
the very beginning the seeds OF dlssolu-
ton we're sown. The makers OF the
constitution left the exact relations OF
the federal government to the States and
of the States to the federal government
omen to double construction. In claim
ing thence the right to secede, Yancey
followed after Pickering, Jefferson DAVIS
after Gouverneur Morris. Cunos
enough, this right of secession, such as
it NAV be, stands yet in the constitution
unchallenged and unabridged.
