A free conference is necessary. CONGREss HAS TAKEN 110 definitO action on the bill to ponsion the Indian and Mexican Veterans. THE CLUBS THROUOHOUT the co11nty inst have full meetings to send delegates to the county conven tion. SENATOn DoN CAMEPON Of Penn sylvania is shortly to marry a iieeo of General Sherman. She has beauty, and he has treasure and cheek. EUROPEAN DIsPATCHES say tlhat Sileiman Pasha, who failed to assist Mhemoet Ali with his army in the recent war, has been put into a sack and pitched into the Bospho THE CAROLINA 8(0t*1111 says that the upper portion of the State, along the Air Lin Railrad, is filling up with Northorn settlers who aro brought on principally through the exertions of Rev. Tilman n. Gainos. The immigrants are represented as being of the better class, who bring A small capital with them. This is cheoring intelligence. Tim SON oF Senator Cochroll, of Misiouri, and Gen. Bradley T. Johnson' son, both at tho University of Virginia, arranged a sham duol with bowie knives the other day. 3ut when the authorities came along and began to take them to jail, the fun was on the other side, and they had to swear till they wero bluo that the affair was only a hoax. THE cOMPROMISE rFEA(iIED O1 the adjustment of the debt is the more satisfactory, in that thero was a cor.. tainty that the Consolidation Act would.havo been confirnied by a small majority, consisting of all the Radicals and a minority of the Democrats. Such a circumstance could not have failed to bring dis aster to the Democracy. Domocrats cannot af'ord to suffr tie Radicals to hold the balance of power in any issue. Virginia's Burden. A great deal of angry feeling has boen excited in Virginia by the proposition to scale tile pub)lic dlebt. The finances of tile Old Dominion are in a wretched condlition. The treasury is empty, and the State credit is said to be exhausted. Heri debt is set down at $30,000,000. If a StaIto is over justified in repudli ating, Virginia has a good excuse for thus ridding hoerself of her load. Her condition is duo to causes other than her own conduct. In the first place, whlen the Federal government, during the war, cut off all the western portion of the State and erected West Virginia, no por tioni of the-debt was transforre'd to the new State. This was an act of the greatest injustice. Besides this, for four years Virginia was a battle ground, and not only lost greatly in population, but su.fforod fearful Jo ss in all her material interests. Wholo regions were devastated, so that evenI "a crow in flying over the eountry- was comp)elled to carry hlis rations with him." Worse than that, by far tile great er portion of the Fedoral internal revenue is yaised from liquors andl tobacco, tile lattr being the staple erop of the Old Dominion. Statis tics show that every year Virginia pays about $8,000,000 in internal revenue tax, besides State and mat nicipal taxation, paying- twie as ameh for the supp~lort of the Federal government as all the Now Englar d Statc pnt together. Since the war she has paid $00,000,000 to the Federal government, an amount that wvould have liquidated her imi moense debt twice over. No wvondor that Congressman Tucker hass been insking an earnest fight to reduce the tax on tobacco and liquors. who think they are in a deplorablo plight imagine thomi elves maddled with a debt of thirty millions, and paying, besidos Stato and inunieipal taxation, at least eight millions moro directly to the Fmderal government. Then times wouldI be hard. 1We cannot bAmoII10 Virginia for desiring to scale her debt. THE' S rATiE LEGISI,el -1WCy. MoNAY, March 11, 1878, SENATE.
