A Richmond dispatch of March 8 says: The attention ot Gov. Lee was directed to-day to the interview published in the Northern papers in which Mahone was made to declare *“*thathe would allow his right arm to wither in the socket betore, bv word or deed of his, or through any influence he might possess, he would aid in repudiating 1 cent ot the just indebtedness of the State.” The Governor laughed as he ex- claimed: “This is a woderful age in which we live! I am not surprised at anys thing. Iam very glad to hear that Gen. Mahone is opposed to repudi- ation, ‘for it was due to Mahone’s efforts, aided by a Republican Pres- ident and a Republican Senate con- terring upon him all the federal powers and patronage, and a Re- publican national committee who furnished him money, on Sherman’s theory that anything was right in law and morals to break down the Democratic party, that ever caused the word ‘‘repudiation’”’ to sound on a Virginian’s ear. I am glad to hear he is not tor repudiation, and I hope the withering process of the right arm will never go on.”’ “What do you think Mahone means by there being no difficulty in ascertaining the amount of public debt?’’ he was asked. “I suppose,”’ replied the Govern- or, ‘‘he 1s going to try to readjust the readjustment, under the idea that having ridden into office on readjust- ment he can recover office by strad- ding a readjusting readjustment steed.”” Trustee’s Sale. said town in the same manner as the t expenses of other municipal elec-4 held and decided exther ‘‘for’’ or] so construed as to interfere with any license issued before the day of such election, but such license may run | the until the day of its expiration, and shall not be renewed.
