THE STATE CREDIT.

The Senate has taken the right step in the right
direction. The bill which passed that body on Wed
nesday, to exempt State bonds from taxation by coun.
ties and corporations, strikes at the root Of the evil
which now ssps the foundation Of State credit
If the good work is completed, by the further ex.
enption of State bonds from State taxation, every
permanent obstacle to the enhancement of the bonds
will be effectually removed.
We regard it entirely Inaccurate to attribute the
late depreciation of Virginia bonds in any measure.
to the very moderate appropriations of the present
session of the Legislature. The present general as
peot of the financial and commercial world is more
than sufficient to account for this temporary depre.
citation. Throughout the country the Banks are on
the eve of resuming specie payments, and are thus
obliged to retain and accumulate sufficient fund for
the approaching revolution, from state OF immuni.
ty to one of active responsibility. The merchants
are preparing for the change Of season. and for en-
larged enterprises which will reimburse the heavy
Losses incident to general dap ,ssou Of business.
There is an increased demand for foreign goods
and no commensurate increase Of foreign demand for
our great staples. Cotton is falling. This causes
temporary depreciation Of State bonds. But these
causes are naturally transory, and prudent men
will not sell their stock to afford large profit on the
same, which will certainly and speedily accrue to the
speculative purchasers who may invest at this juno
ture.
The only permanent cause for the decreased value
of State stock exists in the present system of taxation
Let this be entirely and sosoon as the tempo.

and fnsncsrs shall give place 10 sod and healthy

necessary appropriation will suffice to diminish.

crisis. The suspension Of specie payments in Baiti'
more Philadelphia and New York, has just shut ou,
Virginia capitaliste from their own specie and in the
teeth Of this recent experience, large additional
amo Mt is to be sent, by legislative authority,
the vaults Of Baltimore, there to await another drop
Of dead.fal.
Again. II there be any advantage to be gained
for Virginia, by thus stocking Baltimore with our
specie, why does the General Assembly discriminate
between the two sorts of Banks1 Why are the in
dependent Banks alone permitted to enjoy this pre-
oous immunity Of choice between Richmond and
BaltImoref ls it intended by this means to enable
them to supplant their oompetitorsl Or, is ths
scheme nothing more than decoy duck empoye,

Another question. Ia the State oi Virginia to take

axea1 IL the State Treasury, as well as the citizen,
obliged to send drafts TO Baltimore, there to collect
specie for public disbursements! So we interpret the
late act of the Legislature. A previous Legislature
degraded State credit by establishing Virginia
State Treasury brokerage at New York. The pre-.
sent act establishes another at Baltimore.
We beg leave to explain to our readers, that we
were not advised of the obnoxious features Of this
act previous to it's passage Had we been so advised,
we would not have failed to the public Of the
impending stroke. The bill was hurried through
without mature consideration scarcely with an at
tempt at debate. In the House of Delegates, pass
ed without division, and many members of the
House were ignorant Of its provisions.
The evil is now past present remedy. We have
nothing left US but to regret act of unwiss egisla
tion and endure the consequences Of another effort
to provincialize Virginia. This is all. But this all
is more than enough 1t is no1ious to State enter.

STATE INSURANCE.

We clip the following able aud pointed remarks
from the "Blue Ridge Republican" of the let inst: /:
"There are certainly soms objections 10 the powers
of the present chartered companies. They insure
or not, as they please without regard to circum
stances or necessities. They enact rules which, to
say the least are arbitrary in their operation, If not
in their ppir They will decide to insure TO a Ger.
other businesses and divide it among one or two OF
the number, leaving the rest to 20 to come other
company under the disadvantage of having been re-
fused by the local, or neighborng agent. They will
sometimes refuse to nsure you at all, unless you in
sure for year, or such other time az they may pre-
scribe. Under these circumstances the sgent is often
compelled to put of the applicant until ne can cor
respond with his company, and, 10 the meantime,
your property, or your goods is destroyed These
objections apply, of course more particularly to the
country. II State insurance can remedy them, It
will 90 far TO commend the Governors scheme to
public favor"
This enters upon a chapter which the enquirer
has as vet passed unnoticed, but which merits the
most attentive consideration. Since our cotemporsry
has opened this vein of dscussion we trust that
he will thoroughly explore all the details OF the pre-
sent corporation system of insurance. and lay before
the public fair exposition of all the advantages and
disadv sntsges which may be preserved, avoided or
enhanced by more comprehensive arrangement.
The "Repubcan" continues
"On the other hand the Swiss system, il we do not
misunderstood it, is compulsory. The Government
voluntarily insures, and the people are voluntarily
insured. At first view this would seem to involve q
question of personal liberty, which would not, OF
course be psatable to our people. II may however,
come under the same head as ordinary tsxation-a
necessary self imposition for the mutual protection Of
government and people,"
1t is indeed, true that the Swiss system is compu-
sorry. And are not prepared to advocate the com.
pulsory feature. What the Governor proposes is,
that insurance shall be converted into plan of vol
untary taxation We are inclined to consider the lat
ter the most e1pedient arrangement and apart from
this, have to deal with the question Of practca
bility.
We trust that eha receive still further enlight'
eminent this whole subject, through the columns OF
the "Repubcan."
