The Debt of Virginia-West Virginia's
Liability for Portion Of 1t.

Ex-Governor Stephenson publishes the fol
lowing in the Parkersbpng (west Virginia)
Journal, Of which he is now editor:
As Virginia proposes to saddle about seven.
teen millions OF this debt on West Virginia,
aud as those who are clamoring for \ Con-
Tention purpose to start of under 4 new Con-
stitutiOn with six millions more, which would
make State debt OF tWenty-three millions,
the whole would make gOOd-siEed nest>eSg
to hatch out just such a race of pluuders rs
drained the life aud blood from the old moth
er commonwealth.
If any State may be said to travel with n
stone around her neck, that State is old Vir-
ginia. Her people are logged at ever step
for unpaid interest on her bonds. aud iucreas.
ing taxation for this purpose grinds every in.
dustrial interest to the earth. Under the act
OF last winter the resumption of the payment
Of the interest is to commence January, ],
1877. As the debt is about fifty millions, n
tax to raise the interest will bs an affair of
large proportions West Virginia ought to
prepare to meet maniulIy at the next session
OF the Legislature this question Of her share
Of this public debt We cannot DELAY it
longer without incurring Just reproach. We
do not belive that upon any fair settlement
We would be found to owe any portion Of il.
But, be that as it may, let US meet the 9ues-
nOn frankly and at once. If We owe any
part OF this debt, ten years interest has accu
mulated upon it, and We are TO pay interest
from 1861. Happily, West Virginia h, no
public debt Of her own, and che is for this
reason as we'll prepared now rs she eau hope
to be for many years to come to fulfil her OBJ
legations in this matter. This should be the
hrSt question considered and disposed Of
when the Legislature meets. We owe this
much to Virginia, We owe it to the public
creditor. aud We owe it to the fair fame Of
West Virginia. Let Us make provision at
least for paying our share Of the Virginia
debt before the COnveutionists saddle another
six millions upon US. One debt at time.
