The Virginia Treasury is marly
bankrupt There are only about $25,-

next month, and the wheels of the

Fkkmoh Materialists.- -At the fune
ral services of M. Qulnet, M. Gambet
ta, the President of the French Re
public during the communistic war,
made a speech. So did Victor Hugo
and Henri Brlsson. The conclusion
is that these Radical loaders made
the funeral of the great Qulnet a po
litical and social event. We do not
like this element of French civiliza
tion.
Thk advance In gold from lOfi to llfi,
with the tendency to a still further In
crease, Is a good illustration of the
wisdom of the law which was |>assod
by the last Republican Congress, to
resume specie payments by the equal
ization of the value of gold and of
greenbacks. It is a fine specimen of
Republican financial legislation.

It is calculated that there are $500,-
000,000 of railroad bonds in this coun
try which have ceasod temporarily or
permanently to pay their interest.
These bonds are held pretty widely
over the world, though the great bulk
of them must be In the hands of peo
ple in this country, Great Britain and
Germany.
Ahthi.'k Bingham has retired from
the Alabama Stale Journal. He is no
longer State Treasurer, and cannot
afford to run a Itadieal [taper. It is a
little singular, the dose sympathy
that exists between a Itadieal news
paper and a Radical office. It is just
as much an impossibility to run a
Radical newspaper without un office
as it Is run an office without a news
paper.

tation of General Pennypaekor, Fed

ernor Porter, an ex-Confoderato offi
cer, reviewed the troops at Ash Bar
racks on the 11th. The novelty of
tho scene attracted a crowd of be
tween live and eight thousand people
to the grounds. On the appeurance
of Governor Porter and his civilian
staff tho band struck up ‘‘Hull to the
Chief,” followed by the National air,
creating a groat deal or enthusiasm.
The event was looked upon most
auspiciously by everybody present.
(I. a. Marshal lor Alabama.
Since the vacancy in tho office of
United States Marshal for the South
ern District of Alabama, there have
been many loyal uspirantsfor the po
sition. Petitions have been sent urg
ing the fitness, capacity, and loyalty
of various men. The last Is a tele
graphic i>otition to the President in
lterson, to appoint one Hey man. The
petition is only signed by tho officers
and men garrisoning Opelika. Hey
raan is loyal enough, and with the
above endorsement, he will likely get
tho position. Now, when he gets the
place, and with that little squad of
Yankee soldiers to back him, our
friends across tho river will be an
noyed no little.
Wild Lands.
In the advertising columns will bo
found a notion from Hon. W. Lt Oold
smith, Comptroller floncral, that will
be found interesting to the public,
and a fair wurning to tar receivers.
From it the public will understand
they can give in their wild lands in
the county of their residence.
It is especially necessary that the
tax receivers of the various counties
should exercise an extra caution to
get the numbers right, else confusion
will occur that the Comptroller can
not possibly avert. Col. Goldsmith
is hard at work now in the interest of
the people in trying to remedy the
defects in the last returns. He hopes
to get the matter fixed up, and thus
save trouble and litigation. The
owners of wild lands have been in
dulged thirty days, but by thut time
all.must pay taxes on the wild lands,
or they will be sold.

Tbr Trndrnr) to Hot* from the Country
to the Town*.
it is truo that this is the tendency
lof civilization, the world oVor; but
various causes bring about this result.
In Great Brituln, the fact that less
! than forty thousand people own all
J the land, and the further fact that
one-half of all the arable land is
sown to grass crops, explain why the
; masses seek the manufacturing cen
tres. In France, owing to the system
jof small holdings—the average farm
being less than five acres and to tho
fact that the French i>eople scarcely
ever emigrate from France, the ten
dency to flock to Paris and other
cities is due to another cause. Tho
scarcity of landlh proportion to those
entitled by law to become land
holders by hereditary right—the
French law being the very opposite
of the law of primogeniture—forces
many of the young men in every
community to leave the farm to the
family and seek their living in the
cities. Hence the perfection of French
manufactures, and the elaborate at
tention paid to the details in every
business connected with manufac
tures or architecture. It was to give
employment to this restless class of
the population which caused Napo
leon 111. to build the line quarters
and splendid boulevardes of Paris.
In this country, however, the result
must be traced to a different cause.
The South has always been an agri
cultural country, and the majority of
Its people, prior to the war, either
lived In, or had their means invested
In, the country.
Tho New York World truly says:
“The drift of population from the
farms to the towns lias steadily con
tinued and still continues, for the
simple reason that the vices of idle
ness and pilfering in which Radical
agitators have encouraged the ne
groes have in many sections made
planting not only the least profitable
but one of the most hazardous indus
tries in which capital and the labor
of the capitalist could be invested.
In tho central belt of Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Louisiana there are few
men who see a fair prospect of
earning u living in any other employ
ment, but desert cotton plantations as
more vexatious and uncertain than
profitable.” "
Whore there is a surplus of land
good, fertile land—for sale at one
tenth its money value before the war,
this moving from farms to towns,
of a people ignorant of any mode of
j making a living oxeept by agricul
j ture, is explicable in no other xvay
| than by bud government. Political
economy loses itself in a mist of the
ories when it seeks to apply rules,
that are correct in densely peopled
Europe, to sparsely populated Amer
ica. Es|>ecially is this true when all
the, power and influence of the Cen
tral Government has been brought
to bear against the material interests
of the South. Worse, far worse than
the subsidy exacted by Prussia from
France, is the malignant legislation
which owes its paternity to the Cain
like malice of Senator Morton.

M. NORDHOFF’s THIRD LETTER CONDENSED
Arkansas is us peaceable us New
York or Massachusetts, and far more
so than Pennsylvania, Union men,
white and black, are secure in life,
property, and political rights. There
have been no appeals to the Federal
Commissioners under the Enforce
ment. Acts, hence there bos not been
the violence and political nssussina
tious reported last winter. In March
1869, a ku-klux law of dangerous se
verity was adopted. It prescribed a
penalty of SSOO fine, and from one to
ten years in the penitentiary, and
forbade the member of such society
to be a juror before or a witness after
oonviction.
In February 1873, the Republican
reeonstructionlsts adopted a civil
rights aot much stronger than that
passed by Congress.
The rights of voters are thoroughly
protected. There are now 160 colored
justices of the peace in the State,
ninety-five constables," twenty-nine
sheriffs and county clerks, assessors
and county surveyors, one militia
field officer and eleven militia compa
ny officers. The Enrolling Clerk was
a negro, and he was chosen by a
Democratic House; the door keeper
also, and colored Representatives
went from the counties of Lee, Philips
and Jefferson.
Arkansas has 120,000 voters, of
whom 65,000 are Democrats and 55,000
Republicans. Of tiie latter to,ooo are
colored men.
The Garland (Democratic) party see
the necessity, politically, of a moder
ate and just policy and of general
conciliation. The color line is
broken. The old planters will in the
long run secure a large share of the
negro vote.

Tur. New York Herald’s dispatches
concerning a F,uro|>e*n war sums up
the following conclusions:
1. The great Chancellor’s mind
seems to be somewhat feebiod.
2. Russia’s sympathies are with
Prussia; Invincible In defense she Is
unprepared for a war of Invasion.
3. England needs a German alliance
in order to protect British India from
Russian encroachment. Great Britain
will fight for Belgium.
4. Germany gained nothing in the j
last war but discontented provinces.,
fl. Franco is to-day more prosperous j
ami richer than Germany.
C. Owing to religious dissensions,
Germany will have to keep a large
army at home, even in ease of foreign |
war.
There are many things in the above j
conelusions that an Impartial mind
will hesitate toac eept. Bismarck has
never in his life acted from im
pulse. He is a political chess-player
and lays his plans years before he
executes them. There is a consisten
cy in his scheming that smacks of
“method in his madness.” England j
has guaranteed the neutrality of Bel
gium, and this act, together with the
most obvious reasons, will make
Russia side with Germany. We do
not believe France is richer than
Germany. The German Empire can
not stand still and continue her im
mense armament. She must either
reduce her army or engage in further
attempts at conquost. The auto
cratic character of the government is
offensive to a large body of her peo
ple.
Oxford and f nmbrldsr.
According to a report of a royal
commission appointed by Mr. Glad
stone, while premier, to ascertain the
property of the English Universities, j
It. ap]>ears that the joint annual in-:
come of Oxford and Cambridge for
1871 was $3,772,030, and their expen- j
ditures during the same period $3,-
105,890. Two features of the existing
university system are dwelt upon as
matters of regret. Those are the two
great pretensions of tho smaller col
leges and the manner in which fel
lowships are awarded. It appears
that tho two universities expend sl,-
020,736 annually in payments to their
fellows, who are thus placed in easy
circumstances for life, in considera
tion of having passed, ut the age of
twenty-one or twenty-two, a good ex
amination. The holder of a fellow
ship is under no responsibility to the
university except thut. he cannot be
married without forfeiting his posi
tion. At Cambridge every fellow is
entitled, in his turn, to the refusal of
any living that may fall vacant. It
is now urged that the tenure of fel
lowship should be made to depend
upon continuance of scholarly work.
Another evil, that of the small col
leges, is one thut will Ik- appreciated
in this country. A college at either
university may have thirty under
graduates or five hundred, yet the
smallest considers it essential to
muintain as complete an organization
of tutors, lecturers, deuns, prielec
tors, master and bursar as the larg
est, and it provider a perfect lectur
ing staff, even though the leeturer
finds hut one or two who care to hear
him. This is the same waste of power
which resullsfrom the multiplication
of petty institutions calling them
selves colleges in this country, and
which dissipate upon many small ob
jects what, if united, would build up
great seat* of learning.
The idea advanced by the Trustees
of our State University was a good
one. The unification of all our col
leges under the lead of the Universi
ty, and subordinate to it, is a compre
hensive scheme. If done, it should
be modeled after the English system
which the editor of the Savannah
News condemns in the extract given
above, exception being taken to the
various officers, and others, appoint
ed more in consonance with our in
stitutions. -

TliimictitK tur southern (VntrnnlaliMtH,
To those Southern men who gush
over the approaching Centennial, we
commend the following account of a
debate which took place in Chicago,
when a meeting of citizens was pre
paring for the reception of the “Grand
Army of the Republic,” which will
meet in that city next month.
Gen. Stiles submitted tho following
resolution as bearing upon this sub
ject :
■ “Resolved, That a general Invita
tion be extended to all surviving sol
diers of the late war throughout the
country, east, west, north and south,
to meet with us at tho forthcoming
re-union, and that the committee on
invitation be instructed to extend
personal invitations, as far ns practi
cable, to such of them as in the opin
ion of the committee, have national
reputations as soldiers.”
hen. McArthur was opposed to the
invitation of soldiers who fought on
the other side.
Col. Ricaby moved the adoption of
the resolution.
Gen. White was in favor of making
all men loyal to the American Hag,
and therefore he moved the following
amendment:
“All soldiers and sailors of the late
war who regard the flag of the United
States as the emblem of nationality
undivided and indivisible.”
Mayor Colv in believed that he was
as strong a union man as any in the
room, and he was prepared to extend
the right hand of fellowship to all
soldiers ready to tight under the
American flag. [Applause.] Ho
wished .an amendment made to this
effect.
Col. Cameron supported the motion ;
] and hoped that it would be passed
without amendment. He regretted i
having heard the sentiments ex i
pressed which had been expressed on i
this occasion.
Mayor Colvin swore by the eternal
God that he would not meet a rebel
at this re union.
Gen. Cameron, wtio in the mean- i
I time had vacated the chair, spoke in
favor of the amendment of General
White. The motion, os amended by !
Gen. White, was adopted.
The above is a pretty good illustra-1
tion of ostracism at the North, to all j
Southerners who go among them. 1
We are satisfied that notwithstanding i
the assertions of these dead-beats and !
bomb-proof marauders, that a large j
number at the North would lie glad
to meet the South, and shake hands '
over the "bloody chasm.”

Gkast asp Blaine.— The Philadel- '

project, but that will not help Blaine I

dentinl nomination, but with it he j
will have not only the indifference, ]

The chief charge made against a
sufficient Government currency is
that any addition to a circulating
medium now plainly insufficient
would send prices into the air and all
business into confusion. Stuart Mill
says that “bank notes, bills or cheeks,
as such, do not act on prices at all.
What does act on prices is credit.”
Bonamy Price says that this last “is
u fundamental truth of immense im
portance in currency; it kills off at
ouce a multitude of empty theories
about inilations of bank notes which
exiand circulation and small prices.”
The tables of Anrnsa Walker, care-'
fully collated for tho purpose of
showing that prices follow thevol-l
time of currency, conclusively show
j that they do not." The Massachusetts
Labor Bureau reports that within u
named period food, clothes and shel
! ter rose forty-three ]ier cent, at Law
rence, and skilled labor there rose
seventy-six per cent., currency re
maining unchanged. Wendell Phil
lips has written a letter to the Boston
Advertiser upon this point. Stephen
Colwell, of Philadelphia, says that
the quantity of money “is one of the
least influential causes operating on
prices,” that “large issues of hank
notes do not necessarily enhance
prices.” Mr. Phillips reminds ns
that such men as Sir James Stewart,
Adam Smith, Taurens, Lauderdale, I
Malthus, Ricardo, and even McCul
loch have repudiated the theory that
tho volume of currency determines
the magnitude of prices. Arthur
Young and Thomas Tooke, more em
inent authorities, have pronounced
more emphatically than any others
that “the quantity of the currency is
not a controliug regulator of prices.”
But the grand argument to be made
upon tins issue, which Mr, Phillips j
incontestably makes, is that under I
our present financial regime it is the .
batik men, and not directly the Gov
ernment, that should beheld respon
sible for inflation of prices and any
consequent disasters. The bankers
and the National bankers are tiie.
Uuctuators. Of this we may speak at
another time.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
We believe that it is directly the
Government that should be held re
sponsible for all disasters dependent j
upon its financial system. If sound
principles had prevailed Jay Cooke
could never have run his mad career
to its close. It was a bad Govern
ernment which adopted the system
of National banks with their huge
monopolies. AVhether prices follow
tho volume of currency is a theory
not yet conclusively decided.
Njuple Payment*.
Washington, April 9. It is evident
that the Secretary of the Treasury is
disposed to do all in his power to put
the country in train for specie pay-1
meats. As to the silver resumption ;
clause of tho great finance act of last
session, it, will amount to little or ]
nothing. But as it is regarded in I
some sense us mandatory, the Score- I
turyis making all props rations to car- i
ry out its provisions. He is aocuinu- i
luting silver bullion for coinage, and 1
the new silver pieces will soon be j
turned out from the mint in large :
quantities. Nothing will be easier j
train for the Secretary to put out his
silver coin, but under present circum- i
stances it will be utterly impossible
for him to keep it in circulation. The
coin will be at a premium and will be
sold to the refiners or be exiKirted.
Tho only way in which silver coin can
Ik* kept in circulation is by withdraw
ing and destroying the fraetional.eur
reney in such an amount as to create
a necessity for small change. The
Secretary seems to understand this,
for lie has been steadily cancelling
the fractional currency. Lost month
more than SBOO, OOO of fractional cur
rency was withdrawn and destroyed.
The present amount outstanding is
something over forty-four million
dollars, anil the Seqfetary will have
to withdraw some million’s more be
fore he can think of issuing his silver.

and pay CBb tax thereon to the Tax Collector of
the County of their residence. The law ia ae

they may be easily located and the County tax

Sd. In making out a Hat of unreturned wild
lands located in yout County, be very careful and
not put down the wrong figure*, or enter nuy lot
which ha* been returned to you.
I have been greatly surprised and mortifledjto
know that the Wild Land Lilt of 1874, recently
published, contain lota which were returned to
Receivers, and even lot* embraced in plantation*.
As this list in made up of returns from Receivers,
and it being impossible to revise each return with
terry lot in each of the other one hundred and
thirty-five Couuties, you can see the importance
of having correct lists of unreturned wild lands.
A* yon hare the returns, both of improved and
wild lauds before you, and as most of the Re
ceivers have maps of their counties, and plenty
of time to revise and correct these lists of unre
turned wild lands, it seems that there is cause
for censure somewhere when such flagrant mis
take* are made tut above mentioned. The mis
take* aru not of this office.
The penalty for non-performance of duty, or
carelessness, is forfeiture of a irt or all % your
