Gov. Holiiday has vetoed the bill
passed by the Virginia legislature
scaling down the state debt from $33,
000,000 to $20,000,01)0 and reducing the
rateofintcresttoS percent. The Gover
nor's arguments in favor of the main
tennnce of the good faith of the State
are unanswerable, but thev do not
change the fact that the State has not
paid the interest on her outstanding
bounds, and has refused to increase
the rate of taxation for that purpose.
The difference between the two par
ties seems to be that the Flinders ad
mits the obligation of the State to pan
tile entire principal of the debt, but
fail to pay even the interest, while the
Readjustees desire to reduce the prin
cipal so that the interest can be paid
and a sinking fund established. As
long as the bondholders are deprived
of the interest due them, It docs not
make much difference to them which
party prevails.
One of the. latest tricks played
upon shop-keepers was successsfully
performed at a Cincinnati grocery the
other evening. A woman entered and
ordered a pound of the best coffee.
She carried a jar under her arm, and
when the groeerynian was about to
pour the coffee in a paper bag, the
customer told him to dump it into the
jar instead. The man did so, the
female leaning over the counter and
still holding the jar under her arm,
with the bottom concealed. When
she had received the coffee the female
put her hand in her pocket, and with
a well feigned expression of annoyance
cried: "I do declare, I have left my
purse at home! I'll just set the jar of
coffee down on the counter here while
I run home and got the money." She
placed thu jar on the counter and went
out, but she failed to return, and when
the storekeeper picked up the jar, lie
was surprised to find that it did not
contain any coffee, and that the bot
tom had been knocked out. It then
flashed upon his mind that when he
poured the coffee in the jar it ran
through into a bag concealed by the
female sharper.
Newton, Sussex county, N. J.,
March 5. Jonathan ISurrell, a worth
less fellow of this place, attempted the
life of his son, A brum, a boy of 20
years, with no better character than
his father, in Storrie's rag store, in
Spring street this .evening. The son
says the trouble arose over some coal
bis father wanted him to steal last
night. He refused, but told him lie
would buy some to-day. This evening
he took a bag full home. Another
quarrel then arose ami his father or
dered him out of the house. He left
taking the coal with him. His father
followed him to the rag store, the
quarrel increased, and finally the fa
ther drew a large kuifeand sprang upon
the boy. To defend himself, the hitter
says, be grasped a large pair of shears
lying on the floor, and the fighting
became furious. The combatants
were separated after a fierce struggle.
Neither received serious wounds. A
warrant bus been issued against the
inhuman futher. Jonathan Rurrell,
although a cripple wearing a wooden
leg, manages to get into all about ail
the tights occurring in the place, and
spends a part of each year in the
eounty jail.

Washington Letter.
(From our regular Correnpotulcnt.
Washington, D. C. March 6, 1880.
The House lias censed Its labors upon
Its new code of rules by adopting them
as finally amended, under the cull for
the previous question made by. Mr.
Rlockburn. Of course, they were
adopted by a party vote, for the Re
publican contested to the last, Mr.
Conger even compelling a yea and
nay vote, though he did not attempt
to fillibuster. .Tha new rules nro un
doubtedly open to fair and indepen
dent criticism, notwithstanding the
many improvements made in prun
ing them of obsolete and useless pro
visions. No appropriation of public
moneys should be permitted save upon
a yea and nay vote, and no appropria
tion bill should contain general legis
lation on any pretext whatever the
specified permission of retrenching
expenditures is a specious one which
will permit easy evasion. In other,
though minor respect's, too much lati
tude is given for depletion of the
Treasury by designing persons, and
we predict that the most pernicious
legislation of the future will, as in the
past, be rushed througli Congress by
means of the loop-holes afforded by
the lack of the safeguards above.
Senator Randolph opened up the ball
on the Fitz John Porter case in the
Senate, with an able and ingenious
defense, and ther? is a promise of a
prolonged debate. Senator Logan's
rejoinder occupied several days, and
should other Senators deem tbeground
insufficiently covered by him, the end
of the debate is problematical. This
discussion is not upon the House bill
which proposed pardon and reinstate
mentand t lie payment of twi.OOi) us
back pay, but upon a substitute offered
by Senator Randoph, which gives
only pardon, with reinstatement on
the retired list. It is unfortunate for
Gen. Porter that this matter, so vital
and important to him, should have
been made a political issue between
the two parties in Congress, for there
is much less likelihood of impartial
justice being done him. We have
often urged his pardon on the ground
that he was no more guilty of wrong
than (Jen. McClcIlun, whose disobe
dience of the President's peremptory
orders of August 10, 11, 24 and 27, are
wholly indefensible. Porter was made
the scape-goat, and now, owing to the
political aspect given his case, it will
be hard for him to secure relief.
The pension question is becoming a
most serious one to Congress, and how
to best dispose of it perplexes the
minds of no few of the soions. Mr.
Coffroth has introduced into the House
a bill establishing a Pension Court, to
which shall bo referred the many
cases rejected by the Pension OlHce.
This is a most judicious ami commend
able measure. The Pension Office
cannot, in the mature of things, be
otherwise than technical, hence the
need of another tribunal empowered
to rule upon the equities of a case.
Congress, in view of the immense
national business before it, is certainly
not the place to hear and adjudicate
upon such small matters as rejected
pension cases, since it is clearly within
the province of an ordinary Court or
Roard of Judges to perform such duty.
and it is to be hoped Mr C.'s bill will
soon become a law. Soldiers will then
have a proper court of appeal, instead
of the present moist unsatisfactory
course of procedure.
The citizens of the northeastern
portion of the city are intensely ex
cited over a brutal and murderous as
sault and rape committed recently on
a young woman by a negro. She was
knocked senseless by a blow which
severed one of her ears, and then had
her person outraged. Her face and
body were covered with bruises ; her
throat bore linger marks of severe
choking, and so severely injured was
she that her life is not yet fully as
sured. Within the last three years
several similar outrages have been
committed in this locality, and nat
urally its citizens are aroused to a fe
ver heat, and are demanding increased
protection. Senator Harris has taken
onestep in that direction by introduc
ing a bill making rape punishable
with death. The supposed perpetrator
in this case has lneu arrested, and,
though the girl herself is unable to
identify her assailant, yet the circum
stantial evidence against him is so
conclusive that, were he not strongly
guarded by the police, lie would un
doubtedly be lynched.
The trial of the Ilirth murderers
terminated with a verdict of guilty,
but, as ''hanging is played out" here,
of course, they will luxuriate a year
or two in the penitentiary preparatory
to a return to former haunts and vices
Another negro murderer, Stone, under
sentence of death for the murder of
his wife, and for cutting the throat of
his sister, lias been respited thirty
days, and doubtless he, too, will soon
be snugly ensconsed at Sing Sing.
Our courts present us with a most
singular incident. A Miss Jessie Ray
mond filed a bill by her attorney, Mrs.
Lock wood, against Senator Hill,
charging him witli her seduction in
Atlanta, Ga., in November, 1877, und
with being the father of her young
child. Rut the next day our city
papers contained a card, signed by the
plaintiff, denying the wholo charge,
and ullcjdng that Mrs. Lock wood filed
the bill without her knowledge or con-M-iif,
and Ruling, further, that she
nevT nindo ou'h to it. Thereupon
Mm IM'k wood appears in a curd to
1 1 cool rury, and supports her state
ment with the indisputable proofs.
'J be liotury certifies Minn Raymond
did tnke the outh. Mrs. Lockwood is
one of the most persistent und per
tinacious nl ton icys of our bar, and
now I but her professional conduct Is
impugned, Kchutor Hill will find him
self in hot water before he bus done
with her, and will undoubtedly have
cause to regret this feature, nt least, of
the fight. Such a direct charge might
do when made against Sampson Rrass
but not against Mrs. Lockwood, and
tills unsavory chapter of scandal will
be rehashed in many hearings before
It is ended, now that she Is ou her
mettle.
Mr. Dcfrees, the Government Prin
tir, Is stirring up matters by indefini
tely furloughing over 1.000 of his em
ployes, on the ground of want of funds
to pay them. He claims that the
printing for the extra bcssIoh exhaus
ted all his appropriations, and, ns t lie
law bars him from incurring debts,
lie lias no a'tern.iti ve before him but
to discharge his force and stop his
work. A "little deficiency bill'' will
be reported in a day or two for ills re
lief, and then the small army which
he sent upon the streets will resume
their duties. In no department here
is stoppage of work more seriously
felt than in the Government Printing
Ollice. All its employes are, with
rare exceptions, dependent upon their
daily wages for sustenance, hence a
furlough necessarily carries hardship
and distress witli it.

PASSIM AWAY.
Pittsburgh, March 5. One of the
most prominent journalists iit Western
Pennsylvania, Mr. Andrew Hopkins,
died at his residence in Washington,
Pa., this morning of prostration. He
had been ill for si long time and his
deatli was looked forward to for
several days. He graduated at Wash
ington and Jefferson College, and
afterward studied law and was admit
ted to the bar, but never practiced the
legal profession to any extent. Ho
was editor of the Washington Exam
iner for sonic time and then went to
Hurrisburg and founded The Daily
Put r inf. He was afterward connected
with the Erie Observer, Lycoming
Standard and old Pittsburgh 1'ition.
On liis return to Washington Mr.
Hopkins became editor and proprietor
of The Jtcvirir and Examiner, anil
continued in this position up to the
time of his death. He was appointed
register of land in Nebraska by Presi
dent Ruchanan. Mr. Hopkins mar
ried Miss List of Wheeling, and
leaves several children. lie was a
very brilliant and forcible writer, and
a politician of considerable influ
ence. He was a son of Hon.
William Hopkins und brother of Hon.
James Hopkins of this city.
A Turn in tin-Tide.
CIOLD FI.OWINO A II ROAD IN CONSE
QUENCE OF OUR HEAVY IMPORTS.
Washington, March 2. Secretary
Sherman is concerned about the ac
cumulation of silver in the Treasury,
and lias called attention of theCabinet
to it. The pile of silver is going up
and the pile of gold going down in
the treasury vaults. The immense in
crease in imports lias caused the flow
of gold to this country which was
so large three und five months ago to
cease almost entirely, and the tide lias
turned the otherway. If the imports
keep up until June to the amount re
ported in January and February the
balance of trade in favor of the United
States will be reduced to a very low
figure for this year and the gold necu
mulutioii will be drained away. The
Secretary is anxious to get the silver
dollars into circulation and use them
instead of gold in the market:. The
New York money market is now al
most entirely dependent upon the
Treasury. The large increase of busi
ness everywhere having absorbed the
currency and the monthly ptirclui-es
of six per cent, bonds that will be
made by the Treasury will have an
important effect upon the financial
centres. It is understood that' an im
portant circular is being prepared at
the Treasury with reference to getting
the silver into circulation.
Rultimore has a first-class mystery
on hand. While workmen were de
molishing the old Nicholson mansion
on West 15-iltiiuore street they came
upon an interior wall in one of the
rooms of th first floor, which at first
appearance seemed to be built against
the outer wall, but when they began
to tear it down they found that be
tween this interior wall and the main
wall were two carefully-constructed
vaults, each containing a human skele
ton. The bones soon crumbled on be
ing exposed to the air, but from their
shape medical experts decided that
the oneskeletou was that of a woman
and the other that of a child. The
building was erected in 1S02, and
from the indications it would seem
that the inside wall und vaults were
built soon afterwaids. None of the
numerous tenants who have occupied
the house even suspected that two
skeletons were concealed in its walls.
In 1811 the house passed Into the
hands of the late J. J. Nicholson, u
well-known Raltiuiorc banker, who
lived in it some years, and it was
owned by his family until u short
time since, when it was purchased by
the German Savings Rank. After
the building was vacated by Mr Nich
olson it .was occupied for u time by a
noted slavcdealer named Grimes, but
Hie neighbors complained so much of
the cruelties practiced there that he
was compelled to change his quarters-

Ton PESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is n most ngrocablo dressing, which
Is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with llio
gloss and freshness of youth, failed or "ray,
light, and rod hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, ns may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in till cases where the glands nrc
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
Tho Vigois clea::ses the scalp, cures nnd
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
