P|a There is considerable diacuaaion in * * Virginia about the State debt, the gist of it being that the people, if they are prop* ,j e erly represented bytho utterances of their various candidates for Ciovernor, desire nnt to get rid of paying it, if they can do so. jj10 The history nf Virginia finances ainco the the rebellion has not l>ecn pleasant. The ani Stall- had a debt of $? "?,000,000, and this wh the Legislature resolved should be fund* hw ed, two-thirds belonging to Virginia and ,n one-third to \V?,jt Virginia. Hut West 'ie: Virginia repudiated such an amount of j"*"1 liability, and i's neither State would 't ' \vl| father it, $15,000,000 seems to have . been mink. The funding process of jia, the remainder went on until about noi $20,'000,000 were funded into conHols, nnd then Virginia found she could not pay the interest on this.amount, and J further |funding ccased. Thus another $10,000,000 waa put in a very doubtful position, whilst the funded $20,000,000 ^ only gets intercut paid ou it by the bond- jiqj holders polling their coupons at SO to 85 ^ cents on the dollar, to be paid for taxes. 1ve Tho State goes behindhand about $750, j,c, 000 a rear, and her tinanceH are in a tie- the plorable condition. The shortest way Mc out would probably be au increase of the by State taxc.', now about 50 cents per $100, l'r( but no one will agree to this, and there i.i talk of "readjustment," which means the ove HCiilingdown of the debt.
