To the Ji',/,ublieaii Members of l/ie Le,/- . i.lalnre : Gentlemen—lt is always bad policy to I do wrong. Men, parties and governments ; ' can do nothing more unwise than wrong. It is a thing that sticks and curses. It is' like the blood of \essus upon the shirt of J Hercules ; it eats into the flesh and de- I stroys ; it overcomes the mightiest strength; j : it eonouers the conqueror; it gangrenes (he [ ' most stalwart sinews; it lays low the | ' stoutest vitality. Not to pay your honest debts ! What re- • flection aftlicts a proud man more keenly ' than the thought that he cannot do so ?j ' What stamps the man more emphatically | as a scoundrel than the belief that he can ' ' and will not pay ? A great Commonwealth ' is the exemplar of the morals of its people. The State which deliberately dishonors her ' good name, deliberately proclaims to the world that her people have parted with their j ' morale. It may be a convenient, thing to vote yourself free of honest debt. It may please the popular mood fur the day. But there ' is such a thing as the sober second thought ' of the people. There is that sentiment in f 'the human breast which casuists call re- ! morse. Some fine morning the people of ■ Virginia, who are honest, will wake up and ' find themselves disgraced; and that their disgrace is of the meatiest sort. They will ' observe the world pointing their linger at ' them, as a people who don't pay their ' debts. Accounts will conic to them of the ' distress which has heeil inflicted by their I repudiation. A lady, for instance, born to ' wealth and comfort, with children to sup- port, and a husband dead while fighting the battles of the Commonwealth under i Lee or Jackson, has only a few State bonds £ left of a large aliluence ; these have been i repudiated ; and she has gone to the poor- I house. Some striking incident of the sort r will get into the papers, and will go _ around the world. One touch of nature f. makes all the world akiu ; and all the world will be saying that the State of s Viirginia is shamefully disgraced, t Then, what will the people of Virginia s do? They will rise up and curse the men \ who hrought this shame upon them. They I will demand that deep black lines of eter- .' nal infamy be drawn on the journals of the 1 legislature, around the names that record ed their disgrace. ( Wrong is a thing that sticks and curses, i It may not hurt at lirst; but it bides its i time. It undermines the proudest repu- f tations in the end. It pursues like a keen I scented hound. No strength can shake it off. i No cunning can Willie, No art ran elude It. < Sooner or later it overtakes its victim, f anil destroys him. I What fools are they who think that the I people ofsnc'i a Statu ao Virginia will tame ly submit to disgrace; and to the ulean ' disgrace of swindling her creditors ! A few < years back what did they not sacrifice of : life and blood and worldly wealth to an 1 idea ! And does any one suppose that they I will not now sacrifice the amount of any : tax that may be necessary, to the idea i of a good fame and name among the States I of this Union? Men play demagogue in a very dangerous way, when they expect to i recommend themselves to popular favor by j branding the name of swindler upon the I forehead of Virginia. " I thank thee, Jew, i for teaching me that word." f She will say to these men, "Villains, < take back your mark, apply it to your- 1 selves, it shall belong to you and yuurs forever." i I appeal to the Republicans of tiie Legis- 1 lature to have nothing to do with this horrid 1 business of repudiation. Ours is a Na- i tional party, and Virginia is a State of this < Union. The nation will not permit any i State, by choosing to be infamous herself, < to bring infamy upon the common Union. 1 As Virginians, we must have nothing to do I with this dark work. _\s Americans, we i must hold it in indignant execration. i The men who counsel it as policy, are < fools. The best policy is always the riij'd. i The worst policy is always the wrong. But i whether it lie good policy or bad, let us i stand to tin right. If we were not right, i we could not stand all lhe abuse that is heaped upon us in the State. Whatever strength we have is due to our adherence unto the right, through good aud evil re- i port. i The Republican party of this nation : cannot allord to countenance repudiation. Its responsibilities are too great to permit i a toleration of repudiation in any branch of i its organization in any State. The Kepub- i lican m Virginia who goes for repudiation, that instant ceases to be a Republican, and ; becomes an outcast from the national par ty. Let no man try the experiment. I beg • him as a friend not to try it. Such is the earnest advice to every Republican of A Virginia Man. Alexis a MrsiciAX.— The Grand Duke is a musician. After dining in this city a few days since, says the New York Bvening Mail, he became quite social with the ladies in the parlor. Observing a piano in the mom, he sat down to it and began to play a familiar air. An instant more and he commenced singing, astonishing those who observed and listened by the fact that he was not only an excellent per former upon the instrument, but possesses a well cultivated voice for music. He seem ed very much delighted that he had agreea bly surprised the company present.— Among those who listened to ttiis pleasant little musical episode and applauded the effort, were Miss Clara Louise Ivellogg and Miss Christine Nilsson.andone or two Other distinguished artists, who were attracted to the parlor by tho remark that "the Duke is playing and singing." \> U _TTi <; kAL E.

For the benefit of those who .tie i search of suitable articles to present t their relatives and friends, we call attei I tion to the various houses represented i I the column! of the STATE JOURNAL. — I Among those who have made a special! j of holiday goods are the following : A. A. Allen, 1310 Main street, dealer hats and caps. Mr. Allen's stock is larg l well selected, fashionable, ami most adtni j rably adapted to the season. One of his elegant hats would be just the thing to pre [ sent to your gentleman friend, or if you de j sire a cap for your son, no where else can I you be better suited. Call and examine ] J. Marsh's Musical Depot, 01R Main' | street, is a most attractive place for those | in search of appropriate articles for holiday presents. The stock of musical instruments I j and musical merchandise generally is com- j j plete, and was selected with a view to meet- | in,' the large demand at this season of the ! Mince Pies are indispensable iv all well regulated families during Christinas times, | and it is no easy matter to get them made 00 just right. The celebrated Almore Mince Meat, 1112 Main street, Bossieux, [ agent for the manufacturer, is said to be perfect in its component parts, and to give ! general satisfaction wherever used. J. W. Pledge, 807 Broad street, has a | superb stock of candies, cakes, fruits, | | toys, and other Christinas goods. The j stock embraces a very large variety from which to select, and those in quest of con fections or surprises for the little ones should not fail to call at this establishment ! before concluding their purchases. Old Santa Clans is said to have mad Columbus, at DM Uroad street, a special J agent for the sale of confections and toys, ! and having filled his house with su.-h goods jas are in demand, can supply all orders on most advantageous terms to tiie purchasers. : This house should be visited and the goods Another popular depot for toys antl holi : day goods generally, is that of Mr. Semon, l 805 Broad street. All tastes and condi I tions can be accommodated in his isrioj) [ stock. Piirchas-re nre invited to call. _ Antoni, on .Main, between Eleventh and Twelfth, says, until you have visited, his establishment you will have no idea what I a complete stock of Christinas gum Is looks I like. He has canities, cakes, fruits and toys in almost endless variety. The goods ! are all fresh mid tempting.

C. H. Page & Co. give notice that they : are selling good anthracite nut etial at $7 I per ton, and Clover Hill coal, and wood, at lowest cash prices. We hope those who | are able to do so will purchase many loads jof coal and wood from these and other ( dealers, and present them to the poor of the ! city. Perhaps every reader of our paper i knows of a poor family to whom a load of fuel would be a real blessing, preventing much suffering, and perhaps saying life it- I self. In all the joy of the holiday season, do not forget the poor. While we confer as much happiness as possible upon those | entrusted to our special care, let us not be j unmindful of the many who are unable to I secure even the necessaries of life. Decision in a Whiskey Butt ! aoainst THE 'City. —lodge Wellford ! decided on yesterday a question of much importance to the city. There were two ' suits brought by Messers. Wallace c | White for upwards of $30,000 for whiskey destroyed by the city on the night of the evacuation. It will be recollected that the ' Council appointed a committee of her citi zens to destroy all tho liquor in the city, and directed them to give receipts to al i persons whose liquor, was destroyed, am I concluded with this resolution: "That t! ' faith of the city be and is hereby pledget ! for the payment of all liquor so dcstroyei Ito the holders of said receipts." The a 1 tion was in assumpsit, antl these plaintil held no receipts, and it was so averred i i the declaration. Judge Meredith-, as atto I ncy for the city, demurred to this conn | and contended that thero was no contrite : with these parties, as they held no receip j from the committee, and that their reined was in trespass, anil not in assumjisil fount ed on a contract. Judge Wellford sustaii !ed this view. This is an important decisio I for the city, and there are a large number of i claims of like.kind. The plaintiffs were i represented by Messrs. Howard &. Coke The Concert at Eisenezer Churc a Decided Si'ct'F.sss.—The concert givei last night by the choirs of the coloret | churches of Richmond and Manchestt 1 was a decided success. Ebenezcr churc was crowded. Tho following choirs part ; eipatetl in the exercises: Manchest I choir, Mount Zion choir, and Ebeuez ; choir. A handsome silver . cup was J have been presented to the most siicccssfn I choir, but the judges found themselves v j able to agree, there being a tie between t Manchester choir and that of Ebenoi I choir of this city. In order to decide whi ! of these organizations is entitled to the i prize, we learn that another tesl will be made at a concert to be given early in Jan uary. The following well-known musical j gentlemen acted as judges last night: F.. i H. Chamberlavne, Jr., Captain J. F. Q. Potts, Col. W."E. Tanner, J. W. Cardwell, , Albert S. West, Dr. Chiles, and 11.

ASiiocrixu Accident and Death. Last night, Mrs. Clara Johnson, a very old lady, of this city, while on a visit to her son-in-law, Mr. R. Todd, wlio resides on Broad street, between First and Second, met with a most shocking accident, which resulted in her death about.fbur hours after its occurrence. The grand-daughter of the deceased, Miss Todd, was in her room in lhe third slory of the building between five and six o'clock in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Todd in the store beneath, and Mr. Johnson was in the sitting room on the second lloor. Miss Todd, hearing an unusual noise in the room below, hastened down to ascertain the cause, and opening the door of the sitting room, found her grandmother's clothes in flames, the Arc having been communicated to them from the grate while she was mov ing or standing by it. It was found that Mrs. Johnson w»s terribly burned, and medical aid was hastily summoned. The injuries she had received were too great, however, to be repaired by human sk'll, and she died in great agony about ten o'clock. This sad event happened in the midst of preparations, then nearly completed, for a far different scene—that of tho marriage ceremony—and, as may well be imagined, cast a gloom over the usually bright and happy incidents of the nuptial right* With the spirits of all depressed by the shocking calamity which had taken place in their midst, the ceremony was performed at 0 o'clock, Mr. Chas. Fellows and Miss Todd becoming man and wife. Henrico County COtHi'—JiiJae E. C. Minor, Prcsidint/,— An adjourned ses of this court was held yesterday. John A.
