Many papers are republishing the details s of Preston S. Brooks' brutal assault on i the late Senator Sumner in 1850. There ' are valid grounds for believing, says The . Pittsburg (Pennsylvania) Commercial, that j the blow dealt by Brooks materially l hastened his own death. [He was a proud, ; over-sensitive man, whom the false codes of the day forced |into brutal positions, ] which left a perpetually corroding nnhappi ness in his mind. He knew that his "victory" over Senator Sumner, as it was termed in the South, was a moral defeat and there is no doubt that the conscious ness of this fact hn.untcd him from that time onward until his sudden death. We happen, morever, to know that in hi last illness he left a num. ber of specially friendly messages for Con gressman Burlingame, whom he had chal lenged for denouncing the assault, but whom he afterwards declined to light. Brooks lies buried in tho little cemetery at Edgefield, South Carolina, and on his tombstone is this inscription : " Preston S. Brooks will long be remembered As one in whom the virtues loved to '.dwell, Though sad tons, and dark, this dispensation, We know God's wisdom orders all things well.'' His mother—now very aged—is. still liv ing in that neighborhood, or_ was, a short time ago, besides a younger brother, a plan ter of large intelligence and culture, but holding himself altogether aloof from poli ty's. General Fitzhugh Lee, through Senator Johnson, has "petitioned the Sen ate for the removal of his political disa bilities. His petition states that he grad uated from West Point in 185., and served on the frontiers of Texas. During this service he was twice published by General Scott, in "general orders,'' for gallantry in battle, and was severely wounded in an en couiter with the Indians. He further says : " I resigned my commission in the United States army in 1801, being at the time on duty as instructor of cavalry at West Point. My father, S. S. Lee, of the navy, and my uncle. R. £_ Lee, of the army, had pre viously resigued. My resignation was duly accepted by the War department, (before I accepted other service,) which placed mo upon the basis of any other nit-Mil of Vir ginia." The petition was referred to a committee for examination. The Michigan legislature has passed a bill submitting the question of female suf frage to a popular vote. The majority in favor of this course both in the Senate and House was heavy. The result will be a thorough canvass of the merits of the subject. It is quite probable that the vote will be in the affirmative, for, although the objections to female suffrage 'are weighty, if not numerous, still it cannot be denied that there is a growing sentiment in favor of accepting it as the least of several evil.. One objection which has been urged grows yearly less influential. We refer to the assumed ignorance, or at least lack of experience, on the part of women in public affairs. This was far more true than it is at present. Women are learning. Galveston, Texas, has two men who have seen George Washington. One of them was a boy in his father's house in New Jersey, at which Washington stop ped, the other is nnmarried and wishes his name suppressed for fear that his age will be surmised. It is a waste of mate rial to have two such men in one small city. One of them ought to be sent to the Smithsonian Institute and saved for the Centennial. We presume, however, there are quite a number in the country who have seen Washington. Necessarily one would not have to be over 75 years old to do it. All of .which leads us to reflect that we are a very young nation. the foreign bondholder..' mi:. -lOKIAI,. The following communications Irom the Foreign Bondholders' accompanied the Gjvcrnor'a Financial Message, which we published yesterday : To the House of Delegates of Virginia : The memorial of the council of foreign bondholders of London, acting for and rep resenting the committee of holders of Vir ginia state bonds in Great Britain, showeth: ' That the memorialists have advanced va rious large sums of money to the common wealth of Virginia, for which they received ' titles of security; and that the interest there on was duly paid for many years, until ca- [ lamitous occurrences^ affecting the state of , Virginia, payments were supended. That, in March, 1871, the common- ' wealth of Virginia voted a funding bill, un der which the creditors of the state were requested to accept reduced rates of pay ment. In consideration of the suffering of the citizens of Virginia, dan in confidence in their honorable spirit, the conditions so offered have generally been assented t. by the creditors, and their bonds were duly sent to Virginia to be funded in the new - securities. That in compliance with the conditions of the funding bill the coupons of interest should have been paid on the Ist of Janu ary, 1872, for which ample funds were ly- j ing in the treasury of the commonwealth ; but that instead of such coupons being paid, in conformity with the obligations of B the commonwealth, payment was sus- h pended and the whole action of tho fund- ti ing bill stayed by resolutions of the two houses of the Legislature, passed in the session of- 1871-72. These resolutions _. were vetoed by the governor, but still af firmed by a two-thirds vole. That subsequent legislation in the ses- gi .ions of 1871-72 and 1872-7- has been felt by the bondholders to be most oppres- — sive and unjust in the following particulars 9 —viz: Ist. The rescinding of the funding 1 bill of March. 1871. 2d. The creation of tt a class of bonds the coupons of which are D! not receivable lor taxes, &c, whereby the » value of the security is greatly depreciated. Hd. The reduction of the interest on the tr bonds from six per cent to four per cent * per annum. 4th, The imposition of a tax »'' of one-half per cent on the market value "™ of each bond. That under ttieso circumstances the me morialists strongly represent to the Assem bly that the course pursued by the Assem bly has inflicted a great injury on those who in this country have reposed confi dence in the national honor of the citizens of Virginia. Founded on a common kin- I iltcil, Virginia has for centuries enjoyed in this country esteem and reputation and the advantages of tho credit consequent upon the character of the state and citi zens. The bondholders now find them selves sufferers by the confidence and re liance they have shown in Virginia. They felt assured that after her past misfortune the first sentiment of Virginia would be to make the best possible provi sion for the discharge of her engagement., and it was in this spirit the funding bill was received and accepted. That while this infraction of credit in flicts serious damage on the bondholders, they are convinced that it no less affects the best interests of the state and its citi zens. At this time invitations are offered to Englishmen in our daily papers to emi grate to Virginia, and settle in a country having the same population, language, laws and institutions. These propositions i were well regarded, but tbey are likely , now to remain abortive, as well as others for the development of the landed and nat -1 ural resources of the country. That the memorialists feel it their duty j to urge on the consideration of the Assem , bly that the natural resources of a country are dependent for their real value on the 1 intelligence and moral capacity ot its citi • zens; that material resources may be . wasted by the calamities of war, but that the good name ol the state and citizens is an abiding inheritance which may remain 1 in all times. . The memorialists therefore solicit that , the Assembly will,'without delay, restore the funding bi'l to ils full efficiency, or substitute such other measures as may tend to the restoration abroad of the credit 1 and honor of ihe ancient commonwealth |of Virginia. s For the Council of Foreign Bondhold ers, council-house, Mossgate street, Lon - don, 23d February, 1874. i J.

Messrs. Barring Brothers & Co., they write us as follows: --" Virginia.—Observing with pleasure • what you say in yours of 30th of January I relative to the expected legislation, it seems B a proper moment to call attention to our , 'suspense account,' remaining unpaid the last three years, and which arises from our • effort to support the credit of the state by - advancing tho sum necessary to complete a . dividend, and in payment of which, we may , add, we have no pecuniary interest our selves. This may fairly be considered a II debt of honor." We would ask your excellency to be v good enough to review the circumstances . of this case ; and should you find, as we believe will be tho case, that the depart ments of the government of Virginia take 1 the same view that Messrs. Barring, c Brothers & Co. do of the circumstances to . which they make reference, we would call upon your excellency as the chief executive of the state, to communicate the facts in a message to the Legislature, reminding them, in conformity with the a obligations of your high office, of the duty - they are under to provide without delay, n and in the best manner compatible with the present circumstances of the common • wealth, for the prompt liquidation of this " wholly exceptional indebtedness, c We have the honor to be. sir, with great c respect, truly yours, c T- G. & E.
