Virginia Treasury land Warrants.


The law authorizes the limitless issue OF
Treasury Land Warrants at the Contempt
BILE price of q cents per acre. Who would
knowingly i'm nigrate to q State where are
issued without limit Treasury Warrants call
ing for land not an ertSteace, at the piuful
rate of % cents per acre? If there was IN
former days any justifable reason for such
an issue Of these "a cents per acre warrants,
there is cer,aiuly none at this late day, when
lands in the mos. distant West, Northwest
and Southwest, sell readily at the United
States Land Office at 81 % per acre, and the
distant State Of Texas has, within O few
days enacted law not to sell any Of her
lands for less than 81 per acre, and from
that to 81 per acre.
The Old Dominion has ever denounced re-
pudiation on the part of herself and the 9TH
er States of the Confederacy, and yet she has
gone on and issued Treasury Land Warrants
that have called for vastly more acres Of
land than can be found. These warrants
are no sooner presented by foreign or outside
