money is due on old pay certificates. These
should be carefully examined. The right
policy is to discharge such claims as are
both valid and just, claims for which the
State has received full value; the rest, right

fixed by law, or every member will, as De-
fore, demand that his wife's first cousins,

The levy of seventeen mills Is a severe
dose to swallow. It is q happy thing that
the State, as whole, has prospered' ana
that the people will be able, with some

So far, there is no tax for the interest on the
fraudulent debt nor for the cancelment OF
the Blue Ridge scrip. This is some COM
fort. The tax, We suppose, will be promptly
paid, but the people have right to demand
that this be the last OF seventeen.mills taxas-
