THE CAROLINA 8(0t*1111 says that

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.
