THE EFFECT OF THE FUNDING BILL.

Suppose that the deficiency of S26l 900
on the 1st of July, which Mr.. Taylor con-
cedes, after drawing upon every conceiva-
bic resource, be met-what then? How
| is the January interest to be paid? Ac-
cording to Mr.. Taylor's report, all the re-
sources of the treasury from the present
rate of taxation, only amount to 81 ,S76,-
257 81. The same report puts the expenses
of government, including interest at 49,
020 ,000-a permanent gap of nearly ST.
200, 200 between receipts and expenditures.
This would be ruin. TO continue the fund,
ing bill, there must be increased taxation.
What amount of taxation will supply the
deficiency? If the first so cents Weld
only 81 800, 900, how much will second
80 cents yield? AS you increase the
amount of taxes, tho increase of de-
linquents is greatly augmented at a
ratio, much greater than that of the in
creased taxes. 1t would be safe to con-
clude, that by the increased delinquents,
levy for the second fifty cents would not
yield more than 1920, 900 in money
barely enough to meet the deficiency.
This question then conironts the Legisla-
ture: are the people of Virginia able to
pay fifty cents additional taxation, /. e.
double their present taxes? This is the
practical question which the members have
to meet and solve. They must impose this
additional tax or they must repeal the
funding act.
Or, if they insist on keeping this act on
the statute book, and permit the dscrepan-
cy between receipts and disbursements to
continue, we shah have some such result as
this. BY the funding act, the coupons are

to learn the painters art without brush or
paints, as to learn mining without mine,
mechanics with out shop, and metallurgy
without furnace. The city of Richmond
offers advantages in this particular, not
possessed by any other place in the State.
The nearby mines, quarries, furnaces,
founderies, machine shops and manufac-
tories of a varied kind, each of which offer
a practical demonstration of the sciences to
be taught. Men of Richmond, capitalists,
manufacturers, traders, all who have the
interest of the city and State at
heart, now is the time for ac-
ton. Delay not, for soon this great
and useful fund Gf kept by itself)
may be parcelled out to number of effete
sectarian institutions, when it will be as
eifectually lost to the material benefit to
the State as though it had never been.
The city can well afford to give the Clark's

THE NEW CATECnSsI.

The Enquirer of this morning has organ
lied a catechism on State finance, which
reads beautifully. ustimagine its young
lings all crying out at once, ''put me in my
little bed," and the kind hearted old lady
wiping her glasses, and piously preparing
them for their evening slumbers with the
following:
Is the Legislature of Virginia opposed to
widows and orphans'
A. No; some of them are very fond of widows,
but they have not reflec ted.
Doyou think the Legislature is really a bad
set of peopleY
A. No, not at bottom; they are goaded on by a
man named Dobbins. sr.1
Is Dobbins in debt,
A. Yes ); and he doesn't want to pay any debts,
public or private.
Has he any property
A. Yes, he owns q large tract of land.
Why is he in favor of repudiating, if he has
property TO pay with2
A. He can't bear the idea of giving up any of
his land.
The touch of romantic speculation in the
first question, and the sinister and vicious
purpose half concealed in the answer alone
mar this exquisite piece of composition.

2. That no law enacted in Virginia by
bribery should be enforced. 7ug
[ 3. Having agreed to pay full interest on
bonds held by literary institutions, those
held by widows and orphans in the State,
should also under proper guards and re-
striction be paid.

8. The State is not in condition to re-
sumo and continue the interest payment.
She is therefore compelled to follow the ex-
ample of Pennsylvania under like circum-
stances suspend the payment Of her in

continue to pay.
6. That the money wrung from the poor
taxpayers during the last year should be
carefully husbanded to meet the expenses

FUNDING BILL.

Correspondence OF the Wing.
Well done, good and faithful servants, is
the shout you now hear throughout the
land since the Legislature have 50 manfully
stood up for the people, and have by so de-
cisiye vote strangled, and as soon as they
meet again will, we hope, give quietus 60
that atrocious measure called the funding
bill. The struggle is just begun Having
succeeded last Legislature in passing this
bill by bribery against the wishes Of the
people of Virginia, no device, no stratagem
that ingenuity can devise but will be
brought to bear on the Legislature. The
public will be amazed to see how the over
whelming majority against this bill will be-
gin to melt away. Manhood is the same in
all ages. aiH4
Having already secured large part of
the provincial press, they will bring that
battery to play on green members.
Their first great object will be to induce
the Legislature to pay the January interest.
If, like the wolf in the fable, they can only
get their head in, the body will soon follow.
Having got this much, and the Legislature
hesitate about increasing the taxes to pay
the deficiency in the July interest, the roar
and clamor about reputation will be in
creased hundred fold. Having done this

A CONDENSED ARGUMENT FOR THE
DEFENDERS OF THE FUNDING LAW.

The best example of what may be done
by great mind, in the way of arguing
irrelevant matter 10 defend threatened
abuses from repeal, is, Sydney Smiths

of it, and commend it to the consideration
ofour Solons of The Legislature. Changing
the proper names, it suits the times very
well
Ii this We're an ordinary measure, should not
oppose it with so much vehemence but, sir, it
calls in question the wisdom of an irrevocable
law. What right have we, sir, to break down
this firm column, on which the great men of that
day stampt a character of eternity2 Are not all
authorities against this measure, Pitt, Fox,
Cicero, and the Attorney and Solicitor General
This proposition is new, sir, it is the first time it
was ever heard in this house. / lin not pre-
pared, sir-this house is not prepared, to re-
seiye it, The measure implies distrust of his

hcient to warrant opposition. Precaution only
Is reqnisite where danger is apprehended. Here
the high character of the individual in question
is a sufficient guarantee against any ground of

measure; for, whatever be its character, if you
do give your sanction to it, the same man by
whom this is proposed, will propose to You
others TO which 1t will be impossible to give your
consent care very little, sir for the ostensible
measure but what is there behind? What are
the honorable gentleman's future schemes? If
wc pass this bill, what fresh concessions may he
not require? What farther degradation is he
planning for his country2 Talk of evil and in
convenience, sir look to other countres--study
other aggregatons and societies of men, and then
see whether the laws of this country demand a
remedy, or deserve panegyiic, Was the honor

way of thinking? Do not remember when he
was the advocate in this house of very opposite
opinions! not only quarrel with his present
sentiments, sir, but declare very frankly do

own motives were as pure us possible, they can
not but suffer contamination from those with
whom he is politically associated. This measure
may be boon to the constitution, but l will ac-
cept no favor TO the constitution from such
hands. Besides sir the measure is unneces-
sary. Nobody complains of disorder in that
shape in which it is the aim of your measure to
propose remedy to it. The business is one of
the greatest Importance; there is need of the
greatest caution and circumspection. Do not let

VIRGINIA HALL AND THE RAND
SISTERS. These charming girls, native
and to the manner born, are fulfilling an
engagement at Virginia Hall during this
week. Bishop, who for long time travelled
with the Chapman Sisters, and is now with
the Rands, has been absent, owing to the
death of a relative, but will appear to-
night. We need not speak of him, he is
too well known here, and is fayorite the
Rand Sisters ought to be, for they possess
merit and the highest character of personal
charms. Bishop ought to be ashamed of
himself for sending such support along with
these girls, as he has done. Mr.. Dalton
exhibits some merit and acts well, but the
rest are downright stupids, who are unable
to dance common quadrille correctly.
Our community will not put up with such
ncompetents, and the sooner Mr.. Bishop
gets rid of the present company, with the
exception we have named, the sooner his
interests will be advanced. We are tired
of saying things are excellent" when they
are not. The audience last night agreed
with us. We want to see these charming
young ladies succeed, but not at the ex-
pense of truth. rv

THE EFFECTS OF THE FUNDING BILL
UPON OUR INSTITUTIONS OF LEARN

AN interesting and unexpected question
arose in the House of Delegates, this morn
ing, in connection with the Funding Bill, in
which was clearly exhibited some of It's
enormities and iniquisies.
An act having passed both the Senate
and lower House continuing the payment
of interest and dividends to the incorporated
colleges and other seminaries of learning in
the State" Mr.. Kelly, of Spotsylvania,
raised the point that one of the provisions
OF the Funding Bill prohibited the payment
of interest, because of that clause which
provides, ''nor shall any interest be paid
upon any part or portion of said
debt, except as hereinafter provided" and
moved to reconsider the vote by which TIVE
bill was passed. In other words institu-
tions of learning holding bonds guaranteed
by the State, unless funded, shall not COL
fect any interest due thereon, because of
the Funding Act provision above referred
to. This question elected quite discus
sion, because of the desire of the members
to assist the institutions Of learning, but who
were debarred therefrom by the provisions
of the Funding Act. 1t was stated as
TACT that the Governor had refused to sign
similar bill, because of its conflict with
the Funding Act.
Mr.. Deneale waxed warm and declared
his devotion to the interests of Virginia's
children. He was not in favor of their
sacrifice to the Shylocks who own the
bonds Of the State.
He charged the friends of tho Funding
Bill with inconsistency in charging its op-
ponents with disposition to repudiate,
and yet they come here and repudiate part
of the public Indebtedness, which directly
strikes a blow at our institutions of learn.
ing. .3a5
There was no opposition to the payment
OF interest due these institutions, but the
Funding Act prevented them from carry
Ing out their good intentions. The mo-
ton to reconsider was lost, showing dis
regard of the Funding Act. The Governor
will probably veto the bill, as the discussion
will be an excuse for him to defend his pet
scheme.

first of the two concerts announced by
Mrs: Charles Moulton to take place at AS
sembly Hall, in this city, comes off to-
morrow evening. There has been consid-
cradle interest manifested among our citi-
zens concerning these entertainments, and
VIC have no doubt the hall will be crowded
on both occasions. The opportunity of
fered to hear one of the most celebrated
songstresses in the world should be m-
proved by all lovers of music. Throughout
her present tour in the South she has met
with unbounded success, and the newspa-
pers have given most complimentary reports
OF her performances. The Charleston pa
pers say her concerts in that city were the
best given there by any one since the war.

may be secured at West & Johnson's.
