TUESDAY . . . FfcBRU AKY IS, 1&?9.
?V " ~ Let Us Settle.
Yeaterday being Ibe beginning of tie
bmln?M?*k that lSWR?ltbtheh?o'
Virginia and of Richmond, we rose e*ri)
and tnduleed tte ra^niw obluUons -m o
pure waters trosn the DM>ant?l?? ??? ? ?* *?
typical of purity, and so remindful of
nienaot land, Its health and salubrity. W e
then looked about il.cciiy andcontcmp aU-d
iu superb natural advantages, and deplored
luSuion. brought. upon ,t by the bad
uolicv, discordant IcElsiatiou, and unpaired
pabHe credit of the State. Such a.
pkj of unimproved blessings is not -Horded
anywhere else that we know of; and this
capital city ot the Statc-thc city which
pays an eighth ot the entire revenue of the
Commonwealth? is a representative of vhc
State tt^e f. Providence has bestowed upon
Virginia which occupies the most favored
of latitudes, the cboiccst blessings. She
should have the most fruitful industry, the
roost successful enterprises, the most ener
getic and prolific processes of development,
whereas there is little to bo seen that, doe?
cot indicate want of energy and want ol
SUThere arc many causes for all this. The
public discredit is one o! them. Let the
debt question be eliminated from the poll
tics of Virginia, and there will soon follow
results which cannot be otherwise than grati
fying to the people, not only of this once
honored old Commonwealth, but of all 1 the
Union. And why should this question
allowed longer to disturb the peace o! the
people of Virginia ? Surely they are anx
ious for its settlement. Surely they wish to
close it up now, once for all. We have
never known the papers of the State to be
more nearly unanimous upon any similar
subject than they arc upon this, "ft e tme
given letters also from various sections and
? counties and from gentlemen of influence,
which speak the same language as the press,
perhaps it will be as well for us to repro
duce in this column a few more of the utter
ances of the journals in different parts of
the Commonwealth. We quote first the
Highland Xccorder, published in the ex
treme west :
The representatives of the bondholders
bave consented to amend the proposition
they submitted at the conference 0} ex
tending the term of 3 per cent, bonds from
^Tbis w?H, we suppose, insure its adoption
bv the Legislature. To fail to settle tbn>
question now would be to entail " woes un
numbered-"' upon this State.
Next from the Clinch I alley iVctcs, neat
the Kentucky line:
Although the/e were nfany who opposed
the present session 0/ the CJcpera1 ^Vssem
biv as either unnecessary or illegal, yet it
i<? likely that it? deliberations will result 111
more substantial good to the State than any
Son since the war. Already much has
been accomplished lor the wer.lof the State.
The Allcgbanv Railroad bill, which super
sedes the effete and useless canal by a
much-needed line of freight and trade, is
probably fraught with as much real interest
to the people as any one other enterprise ever
projected. Yet the golden opportunity of
the Legislature is to be found m the
possible alleviation of the ills of the
State debt. The opportunity so long
pou"ht by readjustees has been opened
to them by the complaisance and generos
ity of her creditors, who have substan
tially proposed to relieve us of one
tho debt, and make the payment of the in
terest and sinking ol the principal prac
ticable without the increase of taxation,
in our extremity a way has been suddenly
and unexpectedly opened
this Legislature Is reserved the high priyi
lege and honor of being ? the saviours of the
S'ate. We assure members from the South
west that if this golden opportunity be lost
thpv neea never again attempt to ride the
ho^by of readjustment. The people are too
intelligent to be deceived by professions
that they know to be false; and hayingonce
proved recreant to duty, they will "c^r
Lain entrust their destinies to such keep
iu<r ^Now is the time for rckdjusters to
prove their faith by their works.
Next frorj the Leesburg \Y ashinglonian,
Bear the Maryland line :
"Readjusters' Meeting. There was
None? Not aSingle Attempt atOne, Lveri
Tbc Call Was Made-No Response- Well
Done for Loudoun. She wants to sec the
debt question taken forever from the politi
cal arena, and will favor, by a large majori
ty, the settlement of the whole thing upon
the basis of the late proposition of the bond- j
holders, and close up the chapter ot r(>
tul J listing demagogism on the debt liobbj in
this State."
Next fiom the Petersburg Fost:
We cannot sec how any Virginian who
honors his State and who really wants to
pay anv portion of tiic debt can stand up in
t the face of public opinion and ask the bond
holders to accept less than three per cent,
interest for the next ten years, .tow toi t e
succeeding tweuty years, and five lot the
next ten years. li wev cannot pay -uc*j
moderate interest as that, then the State had
better repudiate at once.
These will suffice for this column. I* we
lind room for them, more articles oi the
same kind will appear elsewhere in our
columns. In the mean time we say oucc
more, as we said the day the first proposition
of the bondholders was made known?
44 Let us settle."
The Argument in a Nutshell.
Senator Blaise, in supporting the bill
putting a check upon Chinese immigration,
fluid : *
" The Senator from California (Mr. Booth)
Las said that there was not, as we under
stand it, in all the one hundred and twenty
thousand Chinese, more or less (whether 1
state the number aright or not does not mat
ter), there did not exist among the whole of
them the relation of family. There is not a
peasant's cottagc inhabited by a Chinaman;
there Is not a hearthstone, in the sense we
understand it, of an American home, or an
English home, or a German home, or a
French home. There is not a domestic tire
siile In that sense ; and yet you say it is en
tirely safe to sit down here and permit that
to grow up in this country."
No matter who says it is safe, he makes a
great mistake.
We honor Senator Blaine for voting for
and supporting the Chinese bill. He thus
gives one proof that he is not a bigot, and
not disposed to sacrifice his own superior
race to a foolish and vindictive fanaticism.
Now, Conklixo Is not a bigot, and is not
mad from fanaticism. He is only calcula
ting bis chances for the presidency,. and
taking the side of the inferior races under
the belief that be will thus cast the net in
which be will get a great many votes. This
ehows him all the greater fool. He is only
strutting about in turkey-cock style to ex
cite the admiration of beings that will never
b? able to do anything lor him. Coxklino
is after all, a born fool, and will, with all his
talents, never achieve anything above a sen
atorial position. The Heathen Chinee will
never make him President. The "facotbat
U childlike and bland" will never smile ca
President Conxlino.

The plaelajr of Bruce (colored) in the
?bnir of Vice-President ej the United
Stat|& is tbp o^asron for the rejoicing of a
great many fools who aeenr to hate neen
cultivating some vihtofvo hostility to thi
hi tfhest type of man? the Caucasian, They
are self-disgraced tbem^l^jind feel glad
?that a tfelng nearer t bo plarie they itend upon
l m s been honored, he t them make the rrfost
of It. We never bad much respect for
Vte^PresWent of the United States, and
rathor think that the presidential chair of
the United- States Senate was made more
respectable T>y~ Bkuce thalii wben'Osi ocea-f
pied by the very raedSocre and impracticable
and unlmprcasiblc Vice-President of the
United States.
Readju3t8rs* Convention.
We feel sure that (he mass of the people
who attended the meetings for the appoint
ment of delegates are heartily in favor of
the acceptance of the bondholders' propo
sition for flie settlement of the State debt.
Almost everybody in'Vii^rnTa' wants it set
tled, and we do not believe public meetings
of any considerable dignity can be gotten up
in Virginia without including majorities of
citizens who want the public debt settled
now upon the terms offered. Wecannot
believe it possible that our people can be so
wanting in wisdom as to decline peace and
1 rc?t from the most troublesome of agitations
! when they are offered upon most practical
and favorable" terms.

I Kcllbt of Pennsylvania is one of those
vain and foolisb public men who are of
( opinion that they know more than anybody
else, and that if their views of policy and
j public measures are uot carried out the
country will go to the devil. There are al
ways such men notwithstanding that every
day Is iHustrating their folly. The Hon.
Mr. Kellkt was a leader amongst the j
Greenback lunatic*, and he has covered up
time itself with prophecies which will not be
realized. Now be is damning resumption
and swearing it cannot last, and that the
country is on the way to eternal smash
Poor man. We wish for his sake, if he de
sires it, that he may live until another sus
pension.
Colonel Withers lias proved himself to
be wise in counsel. No man could have
done more than he has in favor of the re
duction of the tobacco tax. Kead his re
marks yesterday.
Senator Johnston's health is not good ;
yet he, too, has been diligently engaged in
the same good work.
Valentines.? We feel a kind of obliga
tion to the public to dispense a sort of
annual anathema upon such valentines as
the miserable New York printers of such
things and the more miserable authors of
the same are sending over the country.
They are the most abominable daubs that
ever colors were employed lu making. We
should think it a just punishment that all
engaged in making them should be impris
oned and doomed to live on bread and
water. The abominable daubs are mon
strous drawings, and vapid and course in
wit. It is a pity that the dear, sweet little
children should have their impressible
minds perverted by such pictures. They
cannot fail to affect their tastes and men
tal dispositions in a mauner that will be
detrimental in later stages of their lives.
Nov/, Paris always sends forth pic
tures that arc creditable works of art.
They caunot. pervert the tastes of the
young, and such as may be hurtful
morally may be withheld from the young.
But these horrible American daubs haw
nothing to commend but everything to con- (
demn them. We do hopejbat if the manu
facturing of valentines is to go on those en
gaged in the business, will take care to em
ploy better artists and make pictures that
will assist to improve the taste of the young
while affording them innocent amusement.
But we apprehend that before they do this
they will have to elevate their own minds
above their present condition. If they could
have genius enough to throw into their
rough pictures some wit and commendable
humor that would be good. Now,
CnuiKSBANK made some rough pictures
and some silhouettes , but they never
were without pith and point, and sel-.
dom without the very best humor. There
fore, it is not essential that a picture should
be commendable for its beauty and Oneness
that it may be approved ; far from it. But
it should be required that the valentines
should have some merit, some humor, and
some pretension to drawing to give them a
passport to the society of those dear little
creatures whose bright and happy minds
| are imbibing impressions just as tlie dry
j sponge absorbs water.
The Trapiszii;.? Among the most graceful
! performances we '"have ever seen are those
of the trapeze. They are beautiful, and
worthy of the critical study of the anatomi
cal student; but it is the custom to carry
them to a silly extreme. We are always
content to see the exercises stop short of
the "grand climax," wherein the slightest
blunder or accident would terminate the
life of the performed. Now, we should
like it if there were a prohibition of
this "grand climax," which frightens
everybody and pleases nobody. A wo
mau performer recently fell in this act,
and was despaired of at last dates.
Some may say that it matters not if such
foolish people get killed? "it serves ihem
right." If such judgment be a fair retri
bution, we are afraid the number of deaths
would be rapidly multiplied. The fool on
the trapeze would not be alone in reaping
the reward of his folly. There are many
fools who do silly things, and ought to
perish as well us the iutrepid wretcli of
the trapeze.

The only difficulty about readjusting and
settling the debt question at this time con
sists in the fact tbat many of those who
have most loudly professed to be reSdjuy
ers are in reality opposed to a settlement
upon any terms, 03 they wish to keep that
question open for the purpose of securing
office through its continued agitation. The
leaders of this faction are seeking self-ag
grandizement, and not the goodof the State.
Highland Recorder.
A majority of the people of Virginia have
become convinced that the State cannot pay
!>ix per cent, interest on her debt without
being . excessively burdened, and conse
quently they fayored an adjustmer ??; and
now, when so fair an offer of adjustment is
declined (should it be finally declined) as.
that made by the creditors, the people will

R?-v. Dr. Witherspoon Ia?t night delivered
the llrst of a series of twelve sermons on the
Apostles, which w us heard by a vnrv large
congregation. His subject was 44 Peter, the
Impulsive Apostle," and his discourse next
Sunday night will be on '? Andrew, the Mis
sionary Apostle."
Rev. Dr. W. W. Bennett, of Richmond,
preached yesterday morning at the Wash
ington-Street and last ni?bt at the High
Street Methodist Episcopal church.
The regular monthlvmceting of the Sun
day-School Association of the Methodist
Church in this city was held yesterday after
noon at Wesley chapel, a large assemblage
being present to witness the exercises,
which consisted of singing, recitations, &c.
Au Interesting and instructive address was
delivered by Mr. R. T. Wilson on the sub
ject of Sunday-school work. Of the seven
Sabbath schools composing t he Association
two were absent or not represented. Re
ports from the other five for the four Sun
days, including February 9th, show that the
organization is CG3, and "the average attend
ance 517. The amount of money reported
collected for school purposes was $31.S1.
The efforts being made towards the
establishment of a circulating library in this
city are meeting with gratifying success.
A number oi citizens have subscribed to
the scheme, and gentlemen feeling an inter
est in the matter will make a canvass of the
city to get other subscriptions. There
seems to be no doubt that the requisite
amount to purchase the books and start the
library will be obtained.
We have had a little of all kinds of
weather, except sunshine, to-day. For an
hour or two early this morning hail fell ra
pidly, followed by snow, which whitened
the streets and house-tops. Then rain set
in, which has been steadily falling all day.
Two old citizens who departed this life
on Saturday >vere buried yesterday after
noon. The funeral of* Mr. S. J. Pourch,
aged sixty-six years, for many years a resi
dent of Chesterlield county, took place from
Grace church. Sirs. Sarah Wbitlington, a
venerable Christian lady of over four-score
years, was buried from the First Baptist
jjhureh. A large assemblage gathered at
each of the churches to show respect to the
memory of the dead.
It is reported that two citizens ? one of
this city and one of Prince George? met
Sunday afternoon just beyond our corpo
rate limits and settled a difficulty pending
between them by a regular li.-ticuff battle.
They were accompanied by friends to sec
fair play.
At the meeting of the Missionary Aid
Society of the Byrne-Street Baptist church
held yesterday afternoon Mr. James Ramkcy
was elected president, W. W. Payne secre
tary, and George E. Weber treasurer. A
boaid of directors was also elected, and
steps taken for the more effective prosecu
tion of the mission work of the church.
Diuwiddie Ceunty Court is in session to
day (Judge Jones presiding), but it is un
derstood that the. trial of Dr. E. C. Powell
for cultiug Mr. R. C. Shell will be con
tinued.
Tbe three Lodges of Kniglits of Pythias
of this city will be represented in the Grand
Lodge, which meets to-morrow in Rich
mond. It is oot positively known whether
the uniformed corps of our city will partici
pate in the parade of Thursday.
Several new tohucco factories are soon to
be started here? arrangements for which are
already in progress. If the tax is reduced
by Congress the number of manufacturers in
Petersburg will be considerably increased.

[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]
New Kent Courthouse; Va., ?
February 15, 1879. >
The .brutal- murder or John -C? -Xacy,
which occurred on the 17th of last montn,
has created a profound sensation and in
terest in this and surrounding counties At
the time of the perpetration of the outrage,
as your readers were informed, threats were
made and- fears were entertained that the
alleged murderers would be handled ac
cording to the code of Judge Lynch ; but
tetter coun'sbls prevailed, and the persons
charged! with the crime? to wit: Julius
Christian, Patrick and Claiborne Smith, and
Andrew Whiting? were taken to the llen
rieo-county jail to await trial ut the Febru
ary term of our County Court.
Accordingly, on Thursday last Sheriff
Royaler arrived from Richmond in charge
of the prisoners. Most of the day wa* taken
up In examination of witnesses by the grand
jury, who found true bills against all the
parties accused; and it was not until late in
theafternoon that a jury was empanelled for
the trial of Julius Christian, whom it was
determined first to try, the accused having
elected to sever in their trial.
The jury was adjourned over until 10
o'clock* Friday, when, upon assembling, the
Commonwealth proceeded to examine her
witnesses. The principal and most import
ant evidence was that of Mr. James W.
Stamper, of Richmond, to whom ibe prison
ers bad made a confession while in Henrico
jail. Mr. Stamper gave in his testimony in
a very lucid manner, detailing all the 'cir
cumstances connected with the murder as
confessed by the accused, making up a case
of the most shocking and diabolical brutal
ity.
The Commonwealth was represented by
R. T. Lacy, Esq.. and the prisoner, at the
request of the court, was represented by
William E. Ifart and George A. Jones,
E?q?.
The case was submitted without argu
ment about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and after an absence of ten minutes the jury
returned with a verdict of "guilty of mur
der in the first degree.-'' Judge Christian,
amid profound silence on the part of the
large crowd assembled, then proceeded, in
a most touching and impressive manner, to
pass sentence upon the condemned man,
?who received the same with the stolid in
difference of an iceburg, and seemed less
moved by the pathetic remarks of the Judge
than anyone else present.
At this writing Patrick Smith is on trial.
Yours, N. K.
February 1G, 1S79.
Since I last, wrote you another of the
Lacy murderers? Patrick Smith? has been
condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law. The accused \\:\.s defended by
Messrs. Hart and Jones, who made the most
of the facts in the case for the benefit of their
client, while R. T. Lacy. Esq , represented
the Commonwealth. Alter an elaborate ar
gument of the case, the jury retired for
a few minutes, when they brought in a
verdict as above stated. If possible, the
prisoner manifested more dare-devil in
difference to his f;itc tjian the one pre
viously convicted, and remained perfectly
unmoved during the delivery of the affect
ing sentence of the Court. The interest in
the trials remains unabated, and a dense
crowd throngs the court-house each day.
Owing to the uecessary absence of counsel
on to-morrow, the Court last night ad
journed over to Tuesday the IStb instant,
when the remaining two prisoners will be
arraigned for trial. I will endeavor to
keep you pftstcd as to the result, notwith
standing the tardiness of our mails. The
prisoners arc kept under guard, our jail
having been burned more than a year ago.
Yours hastily, X. Iv.

IVlio l?-iys iJie 'i'obueoo Tax.
Wattsbouo', Luxenburg county. Va., )
February 14, 1879. j
Those who advocate the tobacco tax assert
tLat.it comes out of the consumer and not
the producer, and tbat tobacco is a luxury
and ought to be taxed. Every one knows
that the consumer pays more for the tobacco
he uses than bo would pay but for tlic tax;
but on account of the tax and the conse
quent high price of manufactured tobacco
the poorer classes of the people of the coun
try are more or less excluded from its use,
and the manufacturer, consequently finding
but poor sale for his tot>aeco, can pay the
producer but a very poor price for leaf to
bacco ? not enough in most instances to pay
the- cost of production. This is true at least
with regard to the tobacco-growing sections
of Virginia. And right here is where the
tax comes out of the producer. Every one
ought to "know that if the same amount of
tobacco were used with as without the tax
that the producer could not pos>ibly lose
anything by the tax ; but U is not used, and
therefore tiie producer alone must, sutler in
a pecuniary point of view. I know that
taxing tobacco is a very pretty way to raise
revenue, but that don't make it right and
just to do so.
Tobacco may be a luxury, but I do not
tbink that any one who has ever made a crop
of it with his own hands will pronounce it
a luxury to make it.
Taxing manufactured tDbacco is a mere
whipping the devil around the stump. It is
precisely the same thing jis if the farmer's
tobacco were taxed before it left his barn,
and I defy any one to prove the contrary.
Some may a*k why it is that we do not
abandon the cultivation of tobacco entirely
in Virginia and turn our attention to other
crops. I answer that in the sections of Vir
ginia where tobacco is cultivated for market
to any extent the soil is peculiarly adapted
to that crop, and it is ulter folly to attempt
to raise any other crop for sale without using
fertilizers to such an extent as to render re
muneration from the crops upon which tbey
are u*ed an utter impossibility. This thing
has been repeatedly tried by individuals,
but always with the most signal failure.

The Halifax JSeetin;;.
Halifax Courthouse, Va., }
February 15. 1879. j>
Messrs. Editors,? Quid Nunc," in his
communication from this place, under date
of January 30th, told you of a ??trap" lie
would spring on this lot n day of February,
and of what a powerful delee-ation would be
sent from Halifax to the rtJtdj listers' con
vention to be held in your city on the '25th
instant.
To-dav was assembled in our court-house
a crowd of about thirty white and lifty or
sixty colored voters of the county, when
Mr. G. K. C. Phillips called the meeting to
order, and, on motion, Captain E. B. Jef
freys was elected chairman, and E. if.
Hundley. Jr., appointed secretary. Captain
Jetfress,* on taking the chair, thauked his
fellow-citizens for the honor conferred on
him. and said that none but reSdjusters on
the 3Barbonr-b:ll plan jWould be allowed to
take part in the proceedings. On motion of
Mf. (5. R. C. Phillips a committee of tive on
resolutions were appointed, when Mr.
Silas Lawson (colored) asked if the
colored people were expected to take
any < part in the meeting; if so,
he wanted representation on the committee*
Mr. Phillips assured Mr. Law, son and the
colored people present that all who were
sound on the Batbour bill, whether white,
black, blue, or brown, were expected to
participate.
The Chair appointed G, It. C. Phillips, S,
S. Kent, John C. Balwin, Alexander Owen^
and Silas Lawson, the two hist colored. Mr.
Lawson objected to Mr. Oweu, and aske<J
that JRobert Dugger (colored) be put in bu
place, which was done.
Alter the committee retired Dr. G. R
Gray, the worst scafcvyng Radicui in tin
State, was called upon to addveaathe meet;
iog, Which he did in a speech, oi, about tbir,tj
-minutes, lilted with .abuse and inisreprcse.i
?j tattons of. the Conservative party such, a
!' tbls : " Tbat oyt ona proposition had cyq
?i be*# made V>y the landholders Jor agettU
?| mental estate. dahfe
, to take three per cent, on $3D,000,o0t) or si
. pcc cent, on ?15,000,000, which were \,l
sanfe/'and tbs people >yrqrc too poor to pa/
tbsfc* arid hcoed the ''Barbour bill was the
oalytrite and feasible plan and must be ac
cemcd,f\ This same Di. Gray was a cana'i
-dafe-forefprk of ?mrfc Comity Court at the
Im4? November election, sird? ritrbtar own
precinct, that oI Bhck Walnut, received
lour votes out of about 650 catfc 090' of
which were colored, and out of about 4,SG0
votes'east In the county he got 14. "This win
feho^you what is thought oS the man who
wad called on to enlighten the rettdjuatcrs of
Halifax.
Mr. Phillips, the chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolution.", reported that the two
coiored gentlemen on the committee would
not agree to the third resolution, and asked
to be allowed to make bis report; which was
done, and the resolutions adopted. Mr.
Law/son objected to. them, but was told, by
the Chair that any man who could not en
dorse the section in qncitton was no re
ad] uster, and could take no further part in
the meeting. .Messrs. Lawson and Dugger
and several or their colored friends then left
the room. Mr. Daniel Carter (colored)
moved that fhree eolored men be put on the
committee in the place of Lawson and Dug
ger; which was done. The Chair then ap
pointed thirty-three delegates? seventeen
white and sixteen colored? to represent the
rcSdjusters of this county in the convention
ol the 25th instant. The trap was de
clared filing and the chair vacated. Now,
Messrs. Editors, if thrs body of men re
present Halifax county, or "anything but
themselves, I am at a loss to know what a
representative body is. Halifax is by a very
large majority in favor of an honorable na
tlemcrit of the State debt, and will never
consent to anything else.
Respectfully, H. B. M.
