The Public Debt.


The Richmond Wig entertains queer
ideas respecting the apportionment OF
the public debt of Virginia with our
State. 1t appears to think that our
State is not selfsupporting, and that
one of our Commissioners-Mr. Bennett
knows this to be the case. All that
we deem it necessary, at present, to say
is this, that in the forthcoming report
of our Commissioners TO the Legislature,
in which Mr.. Bennett will unite. his
views will be fully set forth, and 1t
would be well to postpone an OPINION
until that report appears. 1t is sufficient
now to say that our financial condition
in the eighteenth century, when
nearly all our revenues arose
from taxes on slaves, was materially
different from that existing after the
wear 1888, when the burthen OF taxa,
ton was shifted from slaves to real
estate. in which it was then SAID we
were made the hewers OF wood ana
drawers of water to our rulers in Var
e;nia From 1888 to 1861, period Of
twenty-three years, our average co snn
buttons to the treasury was about sooo',
600 and our expenses, including interest
an ali the money expended In our
S,ota did not exceed half that sum
II is safe to say that our annual sur
pius was at least $3OO,0oo' or oo Ioi
ono This surplus exceeds all the
appropriations within our state, con- .,
shutting any part OF the public DEBT, al
any and all times, at least Iour th'i''0D'
II would be best to wait and see.
