TO be henceiorth the Washington and Ohio

it is not only the shortest route from tide-water
to the Ohio, but that the rich mineral noun

moderate outlay.

The Way TO Pay Debts.


The Senstc has had under discussion fc' some
time Mr.. shcrnan's funding bill, the PurPOrt OF
which is to Issue new set Of bonds, Bearing
M iatsres, Of per cent. -redeeDable m 80
yesrs. with which to redeem the outstanding
SIX per cent bonds. Mr.. Sherman of Ohio Is
the mover Of this measure, and has exhausted
argument n its behalf, without being able 70
convince the Senate that the scheme is pract-
cable. Il may be remarked that the o-Zu
bonds are the basis upon which the National
Banks issue their irredeemable paper and IN
THIS way they derive from the government
abcVt twenty millions of dollars annually
The national bonds bear an interest of six per
cent in gold. payable semi-annually-and on
their non-iuterest bearing notes get seven per
cert-iu all equal to 10 per cent in currency
Why such a system was ever fastened upon the
country it defes common sense to tell. These
banks. especially in the cities, are but shaving
shops. They are machines for the benefit OF
capitalists, and not for the masses. It's hoped
that tie day is not far distant when the whole
batch Of them will be put down though they
are now an immense power in the land.

general topics but especially in relation %

Efforts to obtain relief lie has joint resoln-
ton, prepared for the consideration CT the Ju-
dietary Committee Of the House, 20 giveamore
liberal construction to the act Of February 81,
1867. than is given to it by the accounting Of
scers. Mr.. McGrew gave Us references to the
Statutes Of Congress, from which We have made
I'D the following Synopsis.
The act Of the 4th July, 1864. iorestriet the
jurisdiction Of the Court Of Claims, and to de-
fine the duty Of the Quartermaster General and
Of the Commissary General, in the matter OF
snpplies and the act Of February q, 1867, TO
declare the sense Of the previous act, are the
barriers to many Just claims in the counties Of
Berkeley and Jefferson.
Upon a closer scrutiny Of tho &C, last named
We come to the opinion that the exclusion OF
claims for occupation Of aud damage to pro-
perty applies only to what was deemed C. in
surrectiouary territory" from which condition
Jefferson and Berkeley Counties have been res
cuod by the joint resolution Of June Is, 1866.
We submit the point that the es-lUs'o' was
specifc. and not general, and applicable only
10 "iusurrectiouary territory and does not
apply to the t,ro coanties named and there
fore their claims for rent aud repairs OF pro-
perty should stand upon the same footing as
claims Of the ike character from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, or any other loyal ~ State
The decisions Of the proper officers have no!
been consistent.
We know that claim for rem, and dam
ages to the Methodist Church at Charleston,
Kanavha, West Virginia, was approved aud
paid.
The claim Of the Presbyterian Church al
Harper's Ferry, for SI,7ll, in lieu Of repairs
was approved by the War Department, an2
paid.
The elaine Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Martiusburg for repairs, was fayorabiy con-
silered. aud allowed, by the Var Department.
We believe too, that payment for repairs
was properly made TO the Lutheran Church at
llarper's Ferry.
And vet the claim Of the Methodist Epsco-
pal Church at Hlpers Ferry is rejected al
though the government troops not only oceu-
pied it with men. but 'vta horses, aud actually
pulled it down and used the materials for bar
racks and huts. 50 with the Baptist Church

case before a legal committee, for his conStiiu-

Virginia.

RICHMOND, March SIN the Legislature
to-day message on the finances of the State
was received from the governor. He shows
that the debt of the State amounts to $40
$4,000. This debt, he thinks, can be reduced
by selling out the States interest in the rail-
roads, which would bring to the Treasury over
SlO,OO0,000 He recommends funding all the
liabilities OF the State, except the foreign debt,
and the issue of new bonds, to run from ten
to thirty years, with the interest payable semi
annually in New YORK. lie says taxation
should be so levied that the interest on this
funded debt should be paid with unvarying
regularity. Referring to the proposition for
relief from debt, he recommends that no sales Of
property for debts incurred before the war
shall be made under execution, unless the
property shall bring its assessed value.
He recommends that the money accruing
from the college land grant of tho United
States shall be divided between colleges for
white and cOlored people equally,

Mr.. Beltzhoover's Vote.

G.. VI. BrLrzHoovER, Esq, one of the dele
gates from this county 20 the Legislature, is
entitled to the distinction of having by a
change of vote at a critical juncture, thrown
himself in the breech against the repealers, and
it is conceded on all hands that upon him rests

DIE points in the State-Charleston Kanawha
County. How far Mr.. B. represented the views
Of his constituents in this matter may not be
for Us, di.frauchiSed as we are, to say, but
We venture upon the suggestion that it was
about as much out Of the way Of Mr.. Betz-

designated as Charleston is out Of the way for

peri5ucs in the difficulties attending trips to
Charleston, aud We would advise those COM
